In the second quarter of 2025, AFG recorded $7 million in net tax expense related to a pending state income tax examination regarding the sale of a subsidiary in a prior year. In the second quarter of 2024, AFG recorded $4 million in net tax expense related to a pending IRS settlement regarding the sale of a different subsidiary in a prior year. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (enacted on July 4, 2025), among other things, extends many of the federal tax provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and contains provisions that will accelerate the timing of certain tax deductions beginning in 2025 with an offsetting impact to deferred taxes and no impact on total income tax expense. Management is still evaluating the full impact of the bill, but does not expect the tax provisions of the bill to be material to AFG’s results of operations in future periods.
