Financial Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2025

Net income attributable to Chubb was a record $10.31 billion compared with $9.27 billion in 2024. Net income in 2025 was driven by double-digit growth in both P&C underwriting income and Life segment income, and higher net investment income.

Consolidated net premiums written were $54.84 billion, up 6.6 percent.

P&C net premiums written increased 5.4 percent, with commercial insurance up 4.0 percent and consumer insurance up 9.2 percent. Overall premium growth was driven by strong new business and retention across both commercial and consumer lines, supported by positive rate and exposure increases. In commercial lines, growth was notable in primary and excess casualty, small and mid-market retail and E&S, and property. Consumer insurance growth reflects strong new business and retention, including positive rate and exposure increases.

Life Insurance segment net premiums written increased 15.1 percent, or 17.3 percent in constant dollars, due to growth in international life of 17.4 percent in constant dollars, predominantly in North Asia, and our Chubb Benefits business of 17.3 percent, primarily driven by worksite business.

Pre-tax net investment income was a record $6.5 billion compared with $5.9 billion in 2024, primarily due to higher average invested assets from strong operating cash flow.

Other income and expense increased due to higher income from private equities where we own more than three percent.

Operating cash flow was $12.8 billion

Catastrophe Losses and Prior Period Development

We generally define catastrophe loss events consistent with the definition of the Property Claims Service (PCS) for events in the U.S. and Canada. PCS defines a catastrophe as an event that causes damage of $25 million or more in insured losses and affects a significant number of insureds. For events outside of the U.S. and Canada, we generally use a similar definition. Catastrophe losses are net of reinsurance and include reinstatement premiums, which are additional premiums paid on certain reinsurance agreements in order to reinstate coverage that had been exhausted by loss occurrences. The reinstatement premium amount is typically a pro rata portion of the original ceded premium paid based on how much of the reinsurance limit had been exhausted.

Prior period development (PPD) arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from previous accident years. PPD includes adjustments relating to either profit commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies.

Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation section for further information on reinstatement premiums on catastrophe losses and adjustments to prior period development.

(in millions of U.S. dollars)202520242023
Net catastrophe losses$2,921$2,387$1,828
Favorable prior period development$1,133$856$773

Catastrophe losses were primarily from the following events:

2025: Severe weather-related events in the U.S. and internationally, including California wildfire losses of $1.47 billion

Total North America P&C Insurance catastrophe losses were $2.3 billion

Total Overseas General catastrophe losses were $505 million

2024: Severe weather-related events in the U.S. and internationally, including Hurricane Helene of $390 million and Hurricane Milton of $309 million.

Total North America P&C Insurance catastrophe losses were $1.8 billion

Total Overseas General catastrophe losses were $459 million

2023: Severe weather-related events in the U.S. and internationally, Hawaii wildfires, and New Zealand storms.

Total North America P&C Insurance catastrophe losses were $1.4 billion

Total Overseas General catastrophe losses were $403 million

Pre-tax net favorable PPD for 2025 was $1,439 million in our active companies, including favorable development of $1,329 million in short-tail lines and favorable development of $110 million in long-tail lines. Net favorable development for short-tail lines primarily includes property, marine, and surety lines. Net favorable development for long-tail lines reflects favorable development primarily in workers' compensation partially offset by adverse development in casualty lines. Our corporate run-off portfolio had adverse development of $306 million, primarily driven by adverse development for environmental and molestation-related claims.

Pre-tax net favorable PPD for 2024 was $1,152 million in our active companies, including favorable development of $1,144 million in short-tail lines, and favorable development of $8 million in long-tail lines. Net favorable development for short-tail lines primarily includes property, marine, and U.S. homeowners. Net favorable development long-tail lines reflects favorable development primarily in workers’ compensation mostly offset by adverse development in casualty lines, predominantly commercial excess and umbrella and commercial auto liability. Our corporate run-off portfolio had adverse development of $296 million, with $166 million related to legacy asbestos and environmental exposures, and $58 million related to molestation claims.

P&C Combined Ratio

In evaluating our segments excluding Life Insurance financial performance, we use the P&C combined ratio, the loss and loss expense ratio, the policy acquisition cost ratio, and the administrative expense ratio. We calculate these ratios by dividing the respective expense amounts by net premiums earned. We do not calculate these ratios for the Life Insurance segment as we do not use these measures to monitor or manage the business in that segment. The P&C combined ratio is determined by adding the loss and loss expense ratio, the policy acquisition cost ratio, and the administrative expense ratio. A P&C combined ratio under 100 percent indicates underwriting income, and a combined ratio exceeding 100 percent indicates underwriting loss.

202520242023
Combined ratio:
Loss and loss expense ratio59.1%60.4%60.6%
Policy acquisition cost ratio18.6%18.1%17.8%
Administrative expense ratio8.0%8.1%8.1%
P&C Combined ratio85.7%86.6%86.5%
Catastrophe losses(6.3)%(5.5)%(4.5)%
Prior period development2.5%2.0%1.9%
P&C CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses81.9%83.1%83.9%

The P&C combined ratio and the P&C CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased in 2025, reflecting lower losses, partially offset by an increase in the policy acquisition cost ratio from changes in mix of business. The P&C combined ratio included higher catastrophe losses, primarily from California wildfires in the first quarter, partially offset by higher favorable prior period development.

Policy benefits

Policy benefits represent losses on contracts classified as long-duration and generally include accident and supplemental health products, term and whole life products, endowment products, and annuities. Policy benefits include (gains) losses from fair value changes in separate account liabilities that do not qualify for separate account treatment under U.S. GAAP. The offsetting movements of these liabilities are recorded in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated statements of operations. In addition, Policy benefits include the impact on the liabilities from (gains) losses on investment portfolios supporting certain participating policies. The offsetting movements of these liabilities are recorded in Realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated statements of operations. Refer to the Life Insurance segment operating results section for further discussion.

Policy benefits were $5,460 million and $4,714 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in Policy benefits is primarily due to growth in our international life operations.

Refer to the respective sections that follow for a discussion of Net investment income, Other (income) expense, Net realized gains (losses), Interest expense, Amortization of purchased intangibles, and Income tax expense.
