CNA’s cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared with $1.1 billion for the comparable 2024 period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by an increase in premiums collected and higher cash from investment earnings, partially offset by an increase in net claim payments.

CNA paid cash dividends of $2.92 per share on its common stock, including a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share, during the six months ended June 30, 2025. On August 1,2025, CNA’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.46 per share, payable September 4,2025 to shareholders of record on August 18,2025. CNA’s declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend on many factors, including CNA’s earnings, financial condition, business needs and regulatory constraints. CNA believes that its present cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are sufficient to fund its current and expected working capital and debt obligation needs and does not expect this to change in the near term.

Dividends to CNA from Continental Casualty Company (“CCC”), a subsidiary of CNA, are subject to the insurance holding company laws of the State of Illinois, the domiciliary state of CCC. Under these laws, ordinary dividends, or dividends that do not require prior approval by the Illinois Department of Insurance, are determined based on the greater of the prior year’s statutory net income or 10% of statutory surplus as of the end of the prior year, as well as the timing and amount of dividends paid in the preceding 12 months. Additionally, ordinary dividends may only be paid from earned surplus, which is calculated by removing unrealized gains from unassigned surplus. As of June 30, 2025, CCC was in a positive earned surplus position. CCC paid dividends of $610 million and $490 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The actual level of dividends paid in any year is determined after an assessment of available dividend capacity, holding company liquidity and cash needs as well as the impact the dividends will have on the statutory surplus of the applicable insurance company.

CNA has an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which it may publicly issue an unspecified amount of debt, equity or hybrid securities from time to time.
