Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Net income attributable to Chubb was $2.3 billion compared with $1.3 billion in the prior year period, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses.
Total pre-tax catastrophe losses were $500 million, compared with $1.64 billion in the prior year, which included $1.47 billion from the California wildfires.
Consolidated net premiums written were $14.01 billion, up 10.7 percent.
P&C net premiums written increased 7.2 percent, with consumer insurance up 14.2 percent and commercial insurance up 4.6 percent. Consumer insurance growth reflects strong new business and retention, including positive rate and exposure increases. Commercial lines reflects continued growth primarily in casualty lines, middle market, and small commercial accounts. Growth was unfavorably impacted by reduced exposure and lower rates, in large account property lines, both admitted and E&S.
Life Insurance segment net premiums written increased 33.1 percent, or 30.8 percent in constant dollars, due to growth in international life of 34.1 percent in constant dollars reflecting 15.7 percentage points of growth from traditional regular premium products, with the remaining growth from savings-oriented single premium business.
Additionally, our Chubb Benefits business grew 15.8 percent, primarily driven by worksite business.
Pre-tax net investment income was $1.71 billion, compared with $1.6 billion in the prior year period, primarily due to higher average invested assets from strong operating cash flow.
Operating cash flow was $3.95 billion.
