Insights

CNA posted solid Q2 results with core income up 3% to $335M driven by P&C improvements despite legacy mass tort charges.

CNA Financial delivered a 3% increase in core income to $335 million ($1.23 per share) in Q2 2025, despite net income declining to $299 million from $317 million in the prior year quarter. The results reveal significant strength in the company's core Property & Casualty operations, which generated $448 million in core income, up 18% from the prior year.

The P&C segment's impressive performance was fueled by two key factors: a 7% increase in net investment income to $662 million pretax and improved current accident year underwriting results. The P&C combined ratio improved to 94.1% from 94.8%, with catastrophe losses of $62 million representing 2.4 points of impact versus 3.5 points in the prior year period.

Growth metrics were solid across P&C segments, with gross written premiums excluding third-party captives increasing 5% and net written premiums growing 6%. New business growth was particularly strong at 8%. The company achieved renewal premium change of +5%, comprised of written rate increases of +3% and exposure growth of +1%.

The expense ratio improved to 29.8%, dipping below 30% for the first time since 2008 - a significant operational efficiency milestone. The underlying combined ratio remained stable at 91.7% compared to 91.6% in the prior year quarter.

CNA's results were weighed down by an $88 million after-tax charge in the Corporate & Other segment related to unfavorable prior period development from legacy mass tort issues (partly from the Diocese of Rochester agreement), significantly higher than the $28 million charge in Q2 2024.

Book value per share excluding AOCI was $45.25, representing a 4% increase from year-end 2024 when adjusting for dividends paid. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share, maintaining its capital return to shareholders.

Each business segment showed varied performance: Commercial improved its combined ratio by 2.2 points to 94.8%, Specialty saw a 0.9 point deterioration to 93.6%, and International's combined ratio increased 0.9 points to 92.8%. The Life & Group segment returned to slight profitability with $1 million in core income versus a $1 million loss in the prior year quarter.

  • Net income of $299 million versus $317 million in the prior year quarter; core income up 3% to $335 million versus $326 million in the prior year quarter.
  • P&C core income of $448 million versus $380 million, reflects higher net investment income and improved current accident year underwriting results.
  • Life & Group core income of $1 million versus core loss of $1 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Corporate & Other core loss of $114 million versus $53 million in the prior year quarter. The current year quarter includes an $88 million after-tax charge related to unfavorable prior period development associated with legacy mass tort compared with a $28 million after-tax charge in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Net investment income up 7% to $662 million pretax, reflects a $22 million increase from fixed income securities and other investments to $562 million and a $22 million increase from limited partnerships and common stock to $100 million.
  • P&C combined ratio of 94.1%, compared with 94.8% in the prior year quarter, including 2.4 points of catastrophe loss impact compared with 3.5 points in the prior year quarter.
  • Catastrophe losses of $62 million pretax versus $82 million in the prior year quarter.
  • P&C underlying combined ratio was 91.7%, compared with 91.6% in the prior year quarter. P&C underlying loss ratio was 61.5% and the expense ratio was 29.8%.
  • P&C segments, excluding third party captives, generated gross written premium growth of 5% and net written premium growth of 6%. P&C renewal premium change of +5%, with written rate of +3% and exposure change of +1%.
  • Book value per share of $39.39; book value per share excluding AOCI of $45.25, a 4% increase from year-end 2024 adjusting for $2.92 of dividends per share paid.

Management utilizes the core income (loss) financial measure to monitor the Company's operations. Please refer herein to the Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures section of this press release for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure.

"Core income was $335 million in the quarter, up $9 million over last year. Our underwriting gain was $150 million, up 21%, and our underlying underwriting gain of $213 million represents the ninth consecutive quarter of $200 million or more. Net investment income was up 7% with strong contributions from both the fixed income and alternative portfolios. Cash flow from operations remained strong at $562 million and $1.2 billion for the first half of 2025, up 7% over the prior year.

The P&C all-in combined ratio was 94.1% in the quarter and included $62 million or 2.4 points of catastrophe losses, which is well below our five year average for the quarter. The underlying combined ratio was 91.7% and the expense ratio improved to 29.8%, and was below 30% for the first time since 2008.

Gross written premiums excluding captives grew 5% in the quarter and net written premiums grew 6%. New business grew by 8% to $645 million in the quarter. In the U.S., rate was stable and we continue to achieve double-digit rate increases in our commercial casualty classes of business which are impacted by social inflation. After ten consecutive quarters of rate decline, rates turned positive in financial institutions and management liability this quarter.

We are proud of our results through the first half of 2025 as growth is balanced and core underwriting remains strong. We are well positioned and confident in our abilities to execute on the many opportunities to grow profitably for the remainder of the year," said Douglas M. Worman, President & Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation.

Definition of Reported Segments

  • Specialty provides management and professional liability and other coverages through property and casualty products and services using a network of brokers, independent agencies and managing general underwriters.
  • Commercial works with a network of brokers and independent agents to market a broad range of property and casualty insurance products to all types of insureds targeting small business, construction, middle markets and other commercial customers.
  • International underwrites property and casualty coverages on a global basis through a branch operation in Canada, a European business consisting of insurance companies based in the U.K and Luxembourg and Hardy, our Lloyd's Syndicate.
  • Life & Group includes the individual and group run-off long-term care businesses as well as structured settlement obligations not funded by annuities related to certain property and casualty claimants.
  • Corporate & Other primarily includes certain corporate expenses, including interest on corporate debt, and the results of certain property and casualty business in run-off, including CNA Re, asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP), a legacy portfolio of excess workers' compensation (EWC) policies and legacy mass tort reserves.

Financial Measures

Management utilizes the following metrics in their evaluation of the Property & Casualty Operations.

These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

  • Loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums.
  • Underlying loss ratio represents the loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses and development-related items.
  • Expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums.
  • Dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders' dividends incurred to net earned premiums.
  • Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the expense and the dividend ratio.
  • Underlying combined ratio is the sum of the underlying loss, 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 our 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 our current year underwriting performance. The components to reconcile the combined ratio and loss ratio to the underlying combined ratio and underlying loss ratio for Property & Casualty, Specialty, Commercial and International segments are set forth on pages 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively.

Renewal premium changerepresents 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 ex. 3rd party captivesrepresents gross written premiums excluding business which is ceded to third party captives, including business related to large warranty programs.

Development-related itemsrepresents net prior year loss reserve and premium development, and includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance.

Statutory capital and surplus represents the excess of an insurance company's admitted assets over its liabilities, including loss reserves, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices. Statutory capital and surplus as of the current period is preliminary.

The Company's investment portfolio is monitored by management through analysis of various factors including unrealized gains and losses on securities, portfolio duration and exposure to market and credit risk.

Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

Management utilizes financial measures not in accordance with GAAP to monitor the Company's insurance operations and investment portfolio. The Company believes the presentation of these measures provides investors with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company's operating performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures follow below.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Core Income (Loss)

Core income (loss) is calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the after-tax effects of net investment gains or losses and gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions. Net investment gains or losses are excluded from the calculation of core income (loss) because they are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of our primary operations. The calculation of core income (loss) excludes gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions as they result from decisions regarding our defined benefit pension plans which are unrelated to our primary operations. Management monitors core income (loss) for each business segment to assess segment performance. Presentation of consolidated core income (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Underwriting Gain (Loss) and Underlying Underwriting Gain (Loss)

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 our underwriting activities which are managed separately from our investing activities.

Underlying underwriting gain (loss) is also deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure, and represents pretax underwriting results excluding catastrophe losses and development-related items. Management believes some investors may find this measure useful to evaluate the profitability, before tax, derived from our 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 our current year underwriting performance.

Reconciliation of Book Value per Share to Book Value per Share Excluding AOCI

Book value per share excluding AOCI allows management and investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes this measurement is useful as it reduces the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates.
