Property and Casualty's underlying combined ratio increased to 94.5% from 92.1%.Property and Casualty's underlying loss ratio increased by 2.6 points, mainly driven by higher loss cost trends and lower than expected rate in certain lines in recent quarters.Property and Casualty's unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development increased from $61 million to $100 million mainly driven by professional errors & omissions and excess casualty in recent accident years.Net investment income increased due to higher income from fixed income securities, as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates, partially offset by lower common stock returns.Boardwalk:Net income increased to $159 million compared to $152 million.EBITDA increased to $360 million compared to $346 million.Net income and EBITDA improved due to higher contracting rates and utilization-based revenues on gas transportation as well as higher rates on storage, parking and lending, partially offset by lower product sales and higher operating expenses.Loews Hotels:Net income increased to $26 million compared to less than $1 million.Adjusted EBITDA increased 53% to $124 million compared to $81 million.Net income and adjusted EBITDA improved primarily due to higher equity income from joint ventures driven by growth in the overall average daily rate and an increase in both the number of available and the number of occupied room nights at the Universal Orlando Resort, including the addition of the three new hotels that opened in 2025.Corporate:Net loss of $42 million compared to a net loss of $34 million.Results decreased primarily due to lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio and higher interest expense related to recent debt refinancing.Share Purchases:On March 31, 2026, there were 205.8 million shares of Loews common stock outstanding.During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Loews Corporation repurchased 0.3 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $31 million.Depending on market conditions, Loews may from time to time purchase shares of its and its subsidiaries' outstanding common stock in the open market (including, with respect to Loews common stock, in open market transactions that may or may not satisfy all of the conditions of the Rule 10b-18 voluntary safe harbor), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP MeasuresThis news release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Weighted average number of shares206.27212.60Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures:CNA Financial CorporationCore income is calculated by excluding from CNA's net income attributable to Loews Corporation the after-tax effects of investment gains or losses and gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions. In addition, core income excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income 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 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.The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income:
Three Months Ended March 31,(In millions)20262025CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation$ 194$ 252Investment losses147Noncontrolling interests1722Core income$ 225$ 281In 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-related reinstatement premiums, 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.The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA's loss ratio to underlying loss ratio and CNA's combined ratio to underlying combined ratio:

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."In the first quarter we achieved $225 million of core income buoyed by strong investment income and reinforcing our unwavering focus on underwriting discipline. The fundamentals of our business remain strong as we execute deliberate strategies to optimize our portfolio at a time when the industry is experiencing pressure on growth, rate and loss cost trends.The P&C all-in combined ratio was 102.2% in the quarter and included 3.6 points of catastrophe impact and 4.1 points of prior period development. We took decisive action this quarter to add additional prudence to P&C reserves in recent accident years on excess casualty in Commercial and professional E&O in Specialty, which we view as fundamentally appropriate given the current environment. Our underlying loss ratio of 64.1% also reflects this additional level of prudence, and our underlying combined ratio was 94.5%.Net written premiums grew 1% in the quarter, new business grew 3% to $581 million and retention was 83%. We grew certain pockets of our portfolio that offer accretive returns and held the line in other areas we felt the market is not supporting an acceptable level of return.Rate increase was 2% while renewal premium change was up 3% reflecting significant differentiation by business unit and class. For example, we continue to achieve double-digit rate increase in social inflation impacted classes of business, while national accounts property was down double-digit due to the competitive environment in that space.Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we will continue to operate with confidence and prioritize underwriting discipline. We remain committed to executing in the marketplace as we implement specialized underwriting strategies to achieve profitable growth while maintaining the strength of our balance sheet in the current environment," said Douglas M. Worman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation.Property & Casualty Operations

312-822-3834Earnings Remarks & MaterialsA transcript of earnings remarks will be available on CNA's website at cna.com via the Investor Relations section. Remarks will include commentary from the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Douglas M. Worman, and Chief Financial Officer, Scott R. Lindquist. An earnings presentation and financial supplement information related to the results will also be posted and available on the CNA website.Definition of Reported SegmentsSpecialty provides management and professional liability and other coverages through property and casualty products and services using a network of retail and wholesale brokers, independent agencies and managing general underwriters.Commercial works with a network of retail and wholesale 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 market 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 asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP), a legacy portfolio of excess workers' compensation (EWC) policies and legacy mass tort reserves.Financial MeasuresManagement 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-related reinstatement premiums, 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 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 our underwriting performance since they remove the impact of catastrophes, 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 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.Development-related items represents 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 MeasuresManagement 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.

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-related reinstatement premiums, 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 catastrophes, which are unpredictable as to timing and amount, and development-related items as they are not indicative of our current year underwriting performance.

PR Newswire (US)
8.9 MILLION COMMON SHARES REPURCHASED IN 2025 FOR $782 MILLIONNEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) today released its fourth quarter 2025 financial results.Fourth Quarter 2025 highlights:
Loews Corporation reported net income of $402 million, or $1.94 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $187 million, or $0.86 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The fourth quarter results for 2024 included a pension settlement charge for CNA of $265 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interests). The following are key highlights of our fourth quarter results:CNA Financial Corporation's (NYSE: CNA) net income attributable to Loews Corporation excluding the 2024 pension charge decreased slightly year-over-year due to an unfavorable non-economic charge related to the asbestos and environmental pollution loss portfolio transfer and lower underwriting income, partially offset by higher net investment income.Boardwalk Pipelines' net income decreased year-over-year primarily due to the non-recurrence of an income tax benefit of $36 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024.Loews Hotels' net income decreased year-over-year primarily due to an asset impairment charge of $20 million (after tax) related to the planned replacement of the Arlington Sheraton Hotel with the Americana by Loews Hotels in Arlington, Texas.Corporate segment results improved year-over-year due to higher investment income from the parent company trading portfolio.Book value per share increased to $90.71 as of December 31, 2025, from $79.49 as of December 31, 2024.Book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased to $95.89 as of December 31, 2025, from $88.18 as of December 31, 2024.On December 31, 2025, the parent company had $3.9 billion of cash and investments and $1.8 billion of debt.Loews Corporation repurchased 1.0 million shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2025 for a total cost of $98 million.Consolidated highlights:

214.7Three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024CNA:Net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $276 million compared to $19 million.Net income for 2024 includes a pension settlement charge of $265 million. Excluding this pension charge, net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $284 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.Core income decreased to $317 million compared to $342 million, driven by an unfavorable non-economic charge related to the asbestos and environmental pollution loss portfolio transfer. Underwriting income was also lower, partially offset by higher net investment income.Net earned premiums grew by 5% and net written premiums grew by 2%.Property and Casualty's combined ratio increased by 0.7 points to 93.8% compared to 93.1% largely due to a higher underlying loss ratio. Property and Casualty's underlying combined ratio increased to 92.3% from 91.4%.Net investment income increased due to higher income from fixed income securities, as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates, partially offset by lower common stock returns.Boardwalk:Net income decreased to $110 million compared to $145 million.Net income for 2024 included a $36 million income tax benefit from an adjustment to deferred state income taxes for a rate reduction effective in 2025.EBITDA decreased to $287 million compared to $290 million.Net income and EBITDA were impacted by an increase in legal expenses, offset by increased transportation revenues from higher re-contracting rates and recently completed growth projects, as well as increased storage and parking and lending revenues.Loews Hotels:Net income decreased to $6 million compared to $27 million.Adjusted EBITDA increased 35% to $113 million compared to $84 million.Net income for 2025 was negatively impacted by an asset impairment charge of $20 million (after tax) related to the planned replacement of the Arlington Sheraton Hotel with the Americana by Loews Hotels in Arlington, Texas.Adjusted EBITDA improvement was driven by the addition of three new properties at the Universal Orlando Resort as well as higher average daily rates and occupancy at the other Universal Orlando Resort properties. In addition, results improved at the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center. These positives were partially offset by the reduction in available room nights at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel due to renovations at the property.Corporate:Net income of $10 million compared to a net loss of $4 million.The improved results are primarily due to higher investment income from the parent company trading portfolio.Year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024Loews Corporation reported net income of $1,667 million, or $7.97 per share, compared to $1,414 million, or $6.41 per share, in 2024. Net income for 2024 includes a pension settlement charge for CNA of $265 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interests).Excluding the pension charge in 2024, CNA's net income attributable to Loews Corporation increased due to higher Property and Casualty underwriting income and net investment income, partially offset by unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development related to legacy mass tort abuse reserves.Boardwalk's net income and EBITDA improved due to increased transportation revenues from higher re-contracting rates, recently completed growth projects and higher utilization-based revenue, as well as increased storage and parking and lending revenues. Those positives were partially offset by higher operating costs and higher depreciation expense.Loews Hotels' net income decreased primarily due to an asset impairment charge, higher interest expense and renovations at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, partially offset by improved results at the Universal Orlando Resort properties and the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center, which was open for the entirety of 2025.Corporate net income decreased primarily due to lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio.Share Purchases:On December 31, 2025, there were 206.0 million shares of Loews common stock outstanding.For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, Loews Corporation repurchased 1.0 million and 8.9 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $98 million and $782 million, respectively.Depending on market conditions, Loews may from time to time purchase shares of its and its subsidiaries' outstanding common stock in the open market (including, with respect to Loews common stock, in open market transactions that may or may not satisfy all of the conditions of the Rule 10b-18 voluntary safe harbor), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.Boardwalk LitigationAs a reminder, in December, the Delaware Supreme Court issued a ruling in the litigation related to Loews Corporation's 2018 acquisition of the minority limited partner interests in its Boardwalk Pipelines subsidiary. The Supreme Court found that the Boardwalk general partner, an indirect subsidiary of Loews Corporation, breached the underlying partnership agreement in connection with its exercise of the purchase right to acquire the minority limited partner interests. In its previous ruling in 2022, the Delaware Supreme Court had ruled that the Boardwalk general partner was exculpated from damages related to its exercise of the purchase right. The remaining claims that have been remanded back to the Delaware Chancery Court for further proceedings following the Supreme Court's latest decision are tortious interference and unjust enrichment claims against Loews and certain of its Boardwalk-related subsidiaries. The Supreme Court resolved the other remaining claims in Loews's favor.Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP MeasuresThis news release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management believes some investors may find these measures useful to evaluate our and our subsidiaries' financial performance. CNA utilizes core income, underlying loss ratio and underlying combined ratio. Boardwalk utilizes earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and Loews Hotels utilizes Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures on pages 7 through 9 of this release.Earnings RemarksFor Loews Corporation – Today, February 9, 2026, earnings remarks will be available on the Investors section of our website at www.loews.com.

In addition, core income excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income 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 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.The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income:

293Noncontrolling interests26210580Core income$ 317$ 342$ 1,342$ 1,316In 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.The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA's loss ratio to underlying loss ratio and CNA's combined ratio to underlying combined ratio:

(a) 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."In the fourth quarter we produced excellent results with $317 million of core income, capping off a best on record core income of $1,342 million for the full year, which is the third consecutive year of record results. The 2025 full year core income reflects continued excellent underlying underwriting and investment results, which are both record highs, and contributed to delivering nearly $2.5 billion of cash flow from operations.The P&C all-in combined ratio was 93.8% for the quarter and 94.7% for the full year, which include 1.5 points and 2.3 points of catastrophe losses, respectively. The full year expense ratio of 29.7% is half a point lower than 2024, reflecting ongoing expense discipline while investing in talent, technology and artificial intelligence.Net written premiums grew 2% in the quarter and 5% for the year while new business was flat for the quarter but grew 4% for the full year with retention of 83%. We continue to lean into profitable opportunities while being highly selective in pockets where the market will not let us achieve appropriate risk-adjusted returns.We are pleased with the fourth quarter action taken by AM Best who upgraded CNA's financial strength rating to A+ with a stable outlook. We view AM Best's action as recognition of our consistently strong operating performance, sophisticated risk management and the strength of our balance sheet.Looking forward, we enter the new year with momentum and confidence in our disciplined underwriting strategies and marketplace execution backed by our superior financial strength. We feel we are well positioned as we look forward to an exciting 2026," said Douglas M. Worman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation.Property & Casualty Operations

The additional cessions in those periods were $185 million and $103 million, respectively. There was no prior period development in the current year quarter compared to a $17 million after-tax charge related to unfavorable prior period development in the prior year quarter associated with legacy mass tort.Core loss increased $68 million for the full year as compared with the prior year. The current year includes an unfavorable non-economic impact related to the A&EP LPT.

Net investment income increased $9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $60 million for the full year. The increase was driven by higher income from fixed income securities as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates partially offset by lower common stock returns.Stockholders' EquityStockholders' equity of $11.6 billion increased 11% from year-end 2024, primarily due to net income and an improvement in net unrealized investment losses partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders.Book value per share ex AOCI of $46.99 increased 10% from year-end 2024 adjusting for $3.84 of dividends per share.As of December 31, 2025, statutory capital and surplus for the Combined Continental Casualty Companies was $11.6 billion.About the CompanyCNA is one of the largest U.S. commercial property and casualty insurance companies.

Earnings Remarks & MaterialsA transcript of earnings remarks will be available on CNA's website at cna.com via the Investor Relations section. Remarks will include commentary from the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Douglas M. Worman, and Chief Financial Officer, Scott R. Lindquist. An earnings presentation and financial supplement information related to the results will also be posted and available on the CNA website.Definition of Reported SegmentsSpecialty provides management and professional liability and other coverages through property and casualty products and services using a network of retail and wholesale brokers, independent agencies and managing general underwriters.Commercial works with a network of retail and wholesale 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 market 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 asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP), a legacy portfolio of excess workers' compensation (EWC) policies and legacy mass tort reserves.Financial MeasuresManagement 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 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.Development-related items represents 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 MeasuresManagement 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.

$ 4.83Reconciliation 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.
