• | Hardy, a specialized Lloyd's of London underwriter, was acquired on July 2, 2012. |
• | Net written premiums increased $25 million for the third quarter of 2013 as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by growth of non-marine property and a reduction in the amount of reinsurance purchased across several business units. In addition, a change in Hardy's share of the results of Syndicate 382 contributed to the growth in the period. Hardy retains 100% of the results for the 2013 year of account, while 25% of the capital for the 2012 year of account was provided by third parties. Average rate decreased 5% for the third quarter of 2013 as compared with an increase of 1% for the prior year quarter for the policies that renewed in each period. Retention of 75% and 73% was achieved in each period. |
• | Net operating income increased $9 million for the third quarter of 2013 as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily due to improved non-catastrophe underwriting results, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. |
• | The combined ratio improved 0.7 points for the third quarter of 2013 as compared with the prior year quarter. The loss ratio increased 7.2 points, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses. The expense ratio improved 7.9 points, primarily due to the higher net earned premium base. |

• | Collectively, CNA Financial Corporation (CNAF) and its subsidiaries are referred to as CNA or the Company. |
• | P&C Operations includes CNA Specialty, CNA Commercial and Hardy. Hardy was acquired on July 2, 2012. |
• | Life & Group Non-Core segment primarily includes the results of the life and group lines of business that are in run-off. |
• | Corporate & Other Non-Core segment primarily includes certain corporate expenses including interest on corporate debt and the results of certain property and casualty business in run-off, including CNA Re and asbestos and environmental pollution. Intersegment eliminations are also included in this segment. |
• | Management utilizes the net operating income financial measure to monitor the Company’s operations. Please refer to Note O to the Consolidated Financial Statements within the 2012 Form 10-K for further discussion of this measure. |
• | In the evaluation of the results of CNA Specialty, CNA Commercial and Hardy, management utilizes the loss ratio, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio and the combined ratio. These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. 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, expense and dividend ratios. The statutory expense ratio reported on page 17 is the percentage of acquisition and underwriting expenses to net written premiums in accordance with statutory accounting practices. |
• | The majority of our limited partnership investments employ hedge fund strategies that generate returns primarily through investing in the fixed income and equity markets. While the Company generally does not invest in highly leveraged partnerships, there are risks which may result in losses due to short-selling, derivatives or other speculative investment practices. The use of leverage increases volatility generated by the underlying investment strategies. |
• | Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding. |
