OVERVIEW

Loews Corporation is a holding company and has four reportable segments comprised of three individual consolidated operating subsidiaries, CNA Financial Corporation (“CNA”), Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (“Boardwalk Pipelines”) and Loews Hotels Holding Corporation (“Loews Hotels & Co”); and the Corporate segment. The Corporate segment is primarily comprised of Loews Corporation, excluding its consolidated operating subsidiaries, and the equity method of accounting for Altium Packaging LLC (“Altium Packaging”), an unconsolidated subsidiary.

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used herein, the term “Company” means Loews Corporation including its subsidiaries, the terms “Parent Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or like terms mean Loews Corporation excluding its subsidiaries and the term “Net income (loss) attributable to Loews Corporation” means Net income (loss) attributable to Loews Corporation shareholders.

We rely upon our invested cash balances and distributions from our subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet our obligations and to declare and pay any dividends to our shareholders. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends is subject to, among other things, the availability of sufficient earnings and funds in such subsidiaries, applicable state laws, including in the case of the insurance subsidiaries of CNA, laws and rules governing the payment of dividends by regulated insurance companies (see Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024) and compliance with covenants in their respective loan agreements. Claims of creditors of our subsidiaries will generally have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims and those of our creditors and shareholders. We are not responsible for the liabilities and obligations of our subsidiaries and there are no Parent Company guarantees.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Financial Results

The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to Loews Corporation by segment and the basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Loews Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Three Months Ended March 3120252024
(In millions, except per share data)
CNA Financial$252$310
Boardwalk Pipelines152121
Loews Hotels & Co16
Corporate(34)10
Net income attributable to Loews Corporation$370$457
Basic and diluted net income per share$1.74$2.05

Net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $370 million, or $1.74 per share, compared to net income of $457 million, or $2.05 per share in the comparable 2024 period.

The decrease in net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the comparable 2024 period was primarily driven by lower net income at CNA and Loews Hotels & Co and lower investment income at the parent company, partially offset by higher net income at and Boardwalk Pipelines. The decrease at CNA is primarily due to lower underwriting income mainly driven by unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development. The decrease at Loews Hotels & Co is primarily due to lower equity income from joint ventures mainly driven by lower occupancy and average daily rates at Universal Orlando Resort hotels and an impairment charge recorded by a joint venture property. Lower investment income at the parent company is primarily due to the unfavorable change in the fair value of equity based investments. The increase at Boardwalk Pipelines is primarily due to increased revenues from re-contracting at higher rates and recently completed growth projects.

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), which is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, including this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management on a timely basis to allow decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected or that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
