FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chubb Reports First Quarter Net Income per Share of $1.39;
Operating Income per Share Is $1.14;
Combined Ratio Is 93.6%, including Catastrophe Impact of 12.3 Points
     WARREN, New Jersey, April 22, 2010 — The Chubb Corporation [NYSE: CB] today reported that net income in the first quarter of 2010 was $464 million compared to $341 million in the first quarter of 2009. Net income per share increased 46% to $1.39 from $0.95 per share.
     Operating income, which the company defines as net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses, was $381 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $514 million in the first quarter of 2009. First quarter operating income per share declined 20% to $1.14 in 2010 from $1.43 in 2009.
     The impact of catastrophes in the first quarter of 2010 was $344 million pre-tax, compared with $26 million pre-tax in the first quarter of 2009. The $344 million includes the impact of a late-March storm on the East Coast of the U.S. that produced additional losses that were not included in the March 29th announcement of Chubb’s estimated first-quarter impact of catastrophes. The impact of catastrophes includes losses and loss expenses net of reinsurance recoverable and also includes reinsurance reinstatement premiums.
     The impact of catastrophes on first quarter net income and operating income per share was $0.67 in 2010 and $0.05 in 2009.
     During the first quarter of 2010, Chubb incurred a one-time tax charge of $22 million ($0.07 per share) related to the recently enacted federal health care legislation, which eliminated the tax benefit associated with Medicare Part D subsidies to be received by companies that provide qualifying prescription drug coverage to retirees.
     Net written premiums for the first quarter increased 1% to $2.8 billion. Excluding the effect of currency fluctuation, premiums were down 3%. Premiums declined 4% in the U.S. and increased 16% outside the U.S. (increased 2% in local currencies).

     The first quarter combined loss and expense ratio was 93.6% in 2010 compared to 88.1% in 2009. The impact of catastrophes accounted for 12.3 percentage points of the combined ratio in the first quarter of 2010, compared to 0.9 percentage points in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the first quarter combined ratio was 81.3% in 2010 and 87.2% in 2009.
     The expense ratio for the first quarter was 31.3% in 2010 and 30.8% in 2009.
     Property and casualty investment income after taxes for the first quarter increased 2% to $313 million in 2010 from $306 million in 2009.
     Net income for the first quarter of 2010 reflects net realized investment gains of $127 million pre-tax ($0.25 per share after-tax). Net income for the first quarter of 2009 reflected net realized investment losses, including impairments, of $266 million pre-tax ($0.48 per share after-tax).
     “The headline for the property and casualty insurance industry in the first quarter was the extraordinary level of natural catastrophes worldwide, including the earthquake in Chile, storms in Australia and Europe and several severe storms on the East Coast of the U.S.,” said John D. Finnegan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although these catastrophes had a negative impact of $0.67 per share on Chubb’s first quarter results, we still produced strong operating income of $1.14 per share for the quarter — an excellent result. This reflected outstanding underwriting results, with a combined ratio excluding catastrophes of 81.3%, nearly 6 percentage points better than a year ago. This was our best combined ratio excluding catastrophes since 2007 and was driven by strong contributions from all of our business units,” said Mr. Finnegan.
     “I am very pleased with our underlying financial performance in the quarter,” Mr. Finnegan said, “and I am also very proud of the way Chubb’s employees responded to the needs of our customers across the globe as a result of these catastrophes. Our commitment to superior customer service is once again differentiating Chubb in the marketplace. We understand that a loss is an opportunity to prove to our customers the value proposition we offer.”
     During the first quarter of 2010, Chubb repurchased 7 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $344 million (an average of $49.47 per share). As of March 31, 2010, there were 15.2 million shares of common stock remaining for repurchase under the current authorization.

Definitions of Key Terms
Operating Income: Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses. Management uses operating income, among other measures, to evaluate its performance because the realization of investment gains and losses in any given period is largely discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends.
Underwriting Income (Loss): Management evaluates underwriting results separately from investment results. The underwriting operations consist of four separate business units: personal insurance, commercial insurance, specialty insurance and reinsurance assumed. Performance of the business units is measured based on statutory underwriting results. Statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Under statutory accounting principles, policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses are recognized immediately, not at the time premiums are earned. Statutory underwriting income (loss) is arrived at by reducing premiums earned by losses and loss expenses incurred and statutory underwriting expenses incurred.
Management uses underwriting results determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the underwriting operations. To convert statutory underwriting results to a GAAP basis, policy acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Underwriting income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP is defined as premiums earned less losses and loss expenses incurred and GAAP underwriting expenses incurred.
Property and Casualty Investment Income After Income Tax: Management uses property and casualty investment income after income tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its investment performance because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of the investment portfolio invested in tax exempt securities and is therefore more meaningful for analysis purposes than investment income before income tax.
Book Value per Common Share with Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturities at Amortized Cost: Book value per common share represents the portion of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to one share of common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of available-for-sale fixed maturities is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and therefore could distort the analysis of trends. Management believes that book value per common share with available-for-sale fixed maturities at amortized cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important measure of the underlying equity attributable to one share of common stock.
Combined Loss and Expense Ratio or Combined Ratio: The combined loss and expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the key measure of underwriting profitability. Management uses the combined loss and expense ratio calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies to evaluate the performance of the underwriting operations. It is the sum of the ratio of losses and loss expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of statutory underwriting expenses to premiums written (expense ratio) after reducing both premium amounts by dividends to policyholders.
Net Written Premiums Growth (Decrease) Excluding the Impact of Currency Fluctuation: Management uses net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the trends in net written premiums, exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted. In net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation, the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rates is excluded as these rates may fluctuate significantly and could distort the analysis of trends. Net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation is determined by using the same exchange rate to translate each foreign currency denominated net written premium amount in both periods.

Underwriting Income (Loss)
Management evaluates underwriting results separately from investment results. The underwriting operations consist of four separate business units: personal insurance, commercial insurance, specialty insurance and reinsurance assumed. Performance of the business units is measured based on statutory underwriting results. Statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Under statutory accounting principles, policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses are recognized immediately, not at the time premiums are earned. Statutory underwriting income (loss) is arrived at by reducing premiums earned by losses and loss expenses incurred and statutory underwriting expenses incurred.
Management uses underwriting results determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the underwriting operations. To convert statutory underwriting results to a GAAP basis, policy acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Underwriting income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP is defined as premiums earned less losses and loss expenses incurred and GAAP underwriting expenses incurred.
Property and Casualty Investment Income After Income Tax
Management uses property and casualty investment income after income tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its investment performance because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of the investment portfolio invested in tax exempt securities and is therefore more meaningful for analysis purposes than investment income before income taxes.
Book Value per Common Share with Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturities at Amortized Cost
Book value per common share represents the portion of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to one share of common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of available-for-sale fixed maturities is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and therefore could distort the analysis of trends. Management believes that book value per common share with available-for-sale fixed maturities at amortized cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important measure of the underlying equity attributable to one share of common stock.
Combined Loss and Expense Ratio or Combined Ratio
The combined loss and expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the key measure of underwriting profitability. Management uses the combined loss and expense ratio calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies to evaluate the performance of the underwriting operations. It is the sum of the ratio of losses and loss expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of statutory underwriting expenses to premiums written (expense ratio) after reducing both premium amounts by dividends to policyholders.

Operating Income
Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses. Management uses operating income, among other measures, to evaluate its performance because the realization of investment gains and losses in any given period is largely discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends.
Return on Equity and Operating Return on Equity
Return on equity is the ratio of annualized net income divided by average shareholders’ equity. Average shareholders’ equity is the average of the beginning and all quarter-end balances within the period.
Operating return on equity, a non-GAAP measure, is the ratio of annualized operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding the after-tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities and equity securities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of available-for-sale fixed maturities and equity securities is subject to fluctuation and could distort the analysis of trends. Average shareholders’ equity excluding the after-tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments is the average of the beginning and all quarter-end balances within the period. Management uses operating return on equity, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the Corporation.
