The following table summarizes the results of operations for CNA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 as presented in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report. For further discussion of Net investment income and Investment gains (losses), see the Investments section of this MD&A.

Net income attributable to Loews Corporation decreased $58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period, primarily due to lower underwriting income mainly driven by unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development.

CNA’s Property & Casualty and Other Insurance Operations

CNA’s commercial property and casualty insurance operations (“Property & Casualty Operations”) include its Specialty, Commercial and International lines of business. CNA’s Other Insurance Operations outside of Property & Casualty Operations include its long-term care business that is in run-off, certain corporate expenses, including interest on CNA’s corporate debt, and the results of certain property and casualty businesses in run-off, including CNA Re, asbestos and environmental pollution (“A&EP”), a legacy portfolio of excess workers’ compensation (“EWC”) policies and certain legacy mass tort reserves. We believe the presentation of CNA as one reportable segment is appropriate in accordance with applicable accounting standards on segment reporting. However, for purposes of this discussion and analysis of the results of operations, we provide greater detail with respect to CNA’s Property & Casualty Operations and Other Insurance Operations to enhance the reader’s understanding and to provide further transparency into key drivers of CNA’s financial results.

In assessing its insurance operations, CNA utilizes the core income (loss) financial measure. Core income (loss) is calculated by excluding investment gains or losses and gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions from net income (loss). In addition, core income (loss) excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income (loss) excludes investment gains or losses because they are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of CNA’s primary insurance operations. The calculation of core income (loss) excludes gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions as they result from decisions regarding CNA’s defined benefit pension plans which are unrelated to its primary insurance operations. Core income (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure and management believes some investors may find this measure useful to evaluate CNA’s insurance operations. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation of net income (loss) to core income (loss) in this MD&A.

In evaluating the results of Property & Casualty Operations CNA utilizes the loss ratio, the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio, the combined ratio and the underlying combined ratio. These ratios are calculated using GAAP financial results. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The underlying loss ratio excludes the impact of catastrophe losses and development-related items from the loss ratio. Development-related items represent net prior year loss reserve and premium development, and includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. The expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders’ dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying combined ratio is the sum of the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying loss ratio and the underlying combined ratio are deemed to be non-GAAP financial measures, and management believes some investors may find these ratios useful to evaluate CNA’s underwriting performance since they remove the impact of catastrophe losses which are unpredictable as to timing and amount, and development-related items as they are not indicative of current year underwriting performance.

Changes in estimates of claim and claim adjustment expense reserves, net of reinsurance, for prior years are defined as net prior year loss reserve development within this MD&A. These changes can be favorable or unfavorable. Net prior year loss reserve development does not include the effect of any related acquisition expenses. Further information on CNA’s reserves is provided in Notes 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report.

In addition, renewal premium change, rate, retention and new business are also utilized in evaluating operating trends. Renewal premium change represents the estimated change in average premium on policies that renew, including rate and exposure changes. Rate represents the average change in price on policies that renew excluding exposure change. Exposure represents the measure of risk used in the pricing of the insurance product. The change in exposure represents the change in premium dollars on policies that renew as a result of the change in risk of the policy. Retention represents the percentage of premium dollars renewed, excluding rate and exposure changes, in comparison to the expiring premium dollars from policies available to renew. New business represents premiums from policies written with new customers and additional policies written with existing customers. Gross written premiums, excluding third-party captives, excludes business which is ceded to third-party captives, including business related to large warranty programs.

CNA also uses underwriting gain (loss) and underlying underwriting gain (loss), calculated using GAAP financial results, to monitor insurance operations. Underwriting gain (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated pretax as net earned premiums less total insurance expenses, which includes insurance claims and policyholders’ benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and insurance related administrative expenses. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes some investors may find this measure useful to evaluate the profitability, before tax, derived from CNA’s underwriting activities, which are managed separately from its investing activities. Underlying underwriting gain (loss) is also deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure, and represents pretax underwriting gain (loss) excluding catastrophe losses and development-related items. Management believes some investors may find this measure useful to evaluate the profitability, before tax, derived from CNA’s underwriting activities, excluding the impact of catastrophe losses, which are unpredictable as to timing and amount, and development-related items as they are not indicative of CNA’s current year underwriting performance.

The following tables present a reconciliation of net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income (loss), underwriting gain (loss) and underlying underwriting gain (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Property & Casualty Operations

The following tables summarize the results of CNA’s Property & Casualty Operations and provides the components to reconcile the combined ratio and loss ratio to the underlying combined ratio and underlying loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Gross written premiums, excluding third-party captives, for Specialty increased $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period driven by higher new business and favorable renewal premium change, inclusive of rate. Net written premiums for Specialty increased $50 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period. The increase in net earned premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was consistent with the trend in net written premiums for Specialty.

Gross written premiums for Commercial increased $167 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period driven by favorable renewal premium change, inclusive of rate. Net written premiums for Commercial increased $160 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period. The increase in net earned premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was consistent with the trend in net written premiums for Commercial.

Gross written premiums for International decreased $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period. Excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rates, gross written premiums increased $14 million driven by higher new business.

Core income for Property & Casualty Operations decreased $61 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period, primarily due to lower underwriting results, mainly driven by unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development and higher catastrophe losses.

Catastrophe losses for Property & Casualty Operations were $97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with $88 million for the comparable 2024 period, primarily driven by severe weather-related events, including $53 million for the California wildfires in the 2025 period. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Specialty had no catastrophe losses, Commercial had catastrophe losses of $86 million and $82 million and International had catastrophe losses of $11 million and $6 million.

Unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development for Property & Casualty Operations of $61 million and favorable net prior year loss reserve development of $7 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Specialty recorded unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development of $10 million and favorable net prior year loss reserve development of $5 million, Commercial recorded unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development of $51 million and favorable net prior year loss reserve development of $2 million and International recorded no net prior year loss reserve development. Further information on net prior year loss reserve development is included in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report.

Specialty’s combined ratio increased 4.4 points for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period primarily due to a 2.8 point increase in the loss ratio and a 1.6 point increase in the expense ratio. The increase in the loss ratio was due to unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development recorded in the current year period, driven by auto warranty in accident year 2024, and an increase in the underlying loss ratio primarily driven by continued pricing pressure in management liability lines. The increase in the expense ratio was primarily driven by higher acquisition and employee related costs.

Commercial’s combined ratio increased 3.5 points for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period due to a 4.2 point increase in the loss ratio, partially offset by a 0.6 point improvement in the expense ratio. The increase in the loss ratio was due to unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development, driven by commercial auto in accident year 2024 and an increase in the underlying loss ratio driven by the continuation of elevated loss cost trends in commercial auto. Catastrophe losses were 6.3 points of the loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with 6.8 points of the loss ratio in the comparable 2024 period. The improvement in the expense ratio was primarily driven by higher net earned premiums.

International’s combined ratio increased 2.1 points for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period largely due to a 2.0 point increase in the loss ratio. The increase in the loss ratio was primarily driven by higher catastrophe losses, which were 3.6 points of the loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with 2.0 points of the loss ratio in the comparable 2024 period. The expense ratio was generally consistent with the comparable 2024 period.

Other Insurance Operations

The following table summarizes the results of CNA’s Other Insurance Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Core results for Other Insurance Operations decreased $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the comparable 2024 period, primarily due to a $17 million after-tax charge related to unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development associated with legacy mass tort abuse claims. CNA’s annual comprehensive review of legacy mass tort exposures is undertaken in the second quarter of each year, consistent with the recent historical timing of such review. Further information on net prior year loss reserve development is included in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report.
