FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chubb Reports First Quarter Net Income per Share of $1.80;
Operating Income per Share Is $1.50;
Combined Ratio of 93.2% Includes 6.6 Point Impact of Catastrophes
WARREN, New Jersey, April 24, 2014 The Chubb Corporation [NYSE: CB] today reported that net income in the first quarter of 2014 was $449 million, compared to $656 million in the first quarter of 2013. First quarter net income per share was $1.80 in 2014 and $2.48 in 2013.
Operating income, which the company defines as net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses, was $374 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $566 million in the first quarter of 2013. First quarter operating income per share was $1.50 in 2014 and $2.14 in 2013.
Chubbs results for the first quarter of 2014 were adversely affected by catastrophe losses of $199 million before tax ($0.52 per share after tax) related mostly to severe winter weather in the United States. In the first quarter of 2013, the adverse impact of catastrophes was $18 million before tax ($0.04 per share after tax).
The first quarter combined loss and expense ratio was 93.2% in 2014 and 84.6% in 2013. The impact of catastrophes on the first quarter combined ratio was 6.6 percentage points in 2014 and 0.6 points in 2013. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the first quarter combined ratio was 86.6% in 2014 and 84.0% in 2013. The expense ratio for the first quarter was 32.1% in 2014 and 32.3% in 2013.
Net written premiums for the first quarter of 2014 were $3.1 billion, flat compared to the first quarter of 2013. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, premiums were up approximately 1%. Premiums were up 3% in the U.S. and down 6% outside the U.S. (down 4% in local currencies).
Property and casualty investment income after taxes for the first quarter declined 4% to $277 million in 2014 from $288 million in 2013.
Net income for the first quarter of 2014 reflected net realized investment gains of $116 million before tax ($0.30 per share after tax). Net income for the first quarter of 2013 reflected net realized investment gains of $138 million before tax ($0.34 per share after tax).
Chubb produced solid results in the first quarter of 2014, said John D. Finnegan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Results were adversely impacted by several factors, including catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses related to severe winter weather in the United States. Chubb also suffered an unusually high level of Homeowners fire losses after many quarters with relatively benign loss experience. Although catastrophe losses alone had an adverse impact of $0.52 per share in the first quarter, we still generated operating income of $1.50 per share and net income of $1.80 per share, reflecting a combined ratio of 86.6% excluding catastrophes, he said.
We remain encouraged by the mid-to-high-single-digit increases in our rate change metrics that we achieved in all of our business units during the first quarter, while enjoying an overall increase in renewal retention, said Mr. Finnegan.
During the first quarter of 2014, Chubb repurchased approximately 4.7 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $409 million (an average cost per share of $86.73). As of March 31, 2014, there was $1.2 billion available for share repurchases under the current authorization.
Average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter were 249.2 million in 2014 and 264.8 million in 2013.
Book value per share was $66.36 at March 31, 2014, compared to $61.79 at March 31, 2013 and $64.83 at December 31, 2013.

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, certain 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 results because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of tax exempt investment income to total investment income 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 Corporations 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.
5
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 Foreign Currency Translation:
Management uses net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, 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 international business is transacted. The impact of foreign currency translation is excluded as exchange rates may fluctuate significantly and the effect of fluctuations could distort the analysis of trends. When excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, management uses 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, certain 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 results because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of tax exempt investment income to total investment income 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 Corporations 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 Corporations 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.
