Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements, Risk Factors, and MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This MD&A is comprised of the following sections:
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

| Boardwalk Pipelines | 94 | 77 | 334 | 268 | ||||||||||||||||
| Loews Hotels & Co | (3) | (8) | 25 | 43 | ||||||||||||||||
| Corporate | 42 | 73 | 9 | 56 | ||||||||||||||||
| Net income attributable to Loews Corporation | $ | 504 | $ | 401 | $ | 1,265 | $ | 1,227 | ||||||||||||
| Basic net income per share | $ | 2.43 | $ | 1.83 | $ | 6.03 | $ | 5.55 | ||||||||||||
| Diluted net income per share | $ | 2.43 | $ | 1.82 | $ | 6.03 | $ | 5.54 |
Net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $504 million, or $2.43 per share, compared to net income of $401 million, or $1.82 per share in the comparable 2024 period. Net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1,265 million, or $6.03 per share, compared to net income of $1,227 million, or $5.54 per share in the comparable 2024 period.
The increase in net income attributable to Loews Corporation for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable 2024 period was primarily driven by higher net income at CNA and Boardwalk Pipelines and improved results at Loews Hotels & Co, partially offset by lower investment income at the parent company. The increase at CNA is driven by improved underwriting results in CNA’s commercial property and casualty insurance operations primarily due to lower catastrophe losses, improved underlying underwriting results and higher net investment income. The increase at Boardwalk Pipelines is primarily due to increased revenues due to re-contracting at higher rates, recently completed growth projects and increased storage and parking and lending revenues. The improved results at Loews Hotels & Co is primarily due to higher equity income from the Universal Orlando Resort joint ventures and improved earnings at the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center, partially offset b

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 September 30, 2025.
