• | Net operating income decreased $57 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower favorable net prior year development and lower net investment income. |
• | The combined ratio increased 9.3 points for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. The loss ratio increased 9.4 points, primarily due to lower favorable net prior year development and a higher current accident year loss ratio. The increase in the current accident year loss ratio was primarily driven by the favorable re-evaluation of the full year 2013 accident year in the fourth quarter of 2013. The full year 2014 current accident year loss ratio improved 1.9 points as compared to the prior year and reflected continued improvement throughout the year. |
• | Net written premiums for the fourth quarter of 2014 were down as compared with the prior year quarter. Average rate increased 3% for the policies that renewed in the fourth quarter of 2014 while achieving a retention of 85%. |

• | Net operating income increased $41 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by the absence of unfavorable net prior year development and improved current accident year underwriting results, partially offset by lower net investment income. |
• | The combined ratio improved 17.3 points for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. The loss ratio improved 17.6 points, primarily due to the absence of unfavorable net prior year development, a lower level of catastrophes and an improvement of 2.5 points in the non-catastrophe current accident year loss ratio, reflecting our re-evaluation of the full year 2014 current accident year results. The full year 2014 current accident year loss ratio improved 1.5 points as compared to the prior year. Catastrophe losses were $4 million, or 0.6 points of the loss ratio, for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with $19 million, or 2.7 points of the loss ratio, for the prior year quarter. |
• | Net written premiums decreased $33 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter, driven by a decreased level of new business as well as underwriting actions taken in certain business classes, partially offset by continued rate increases. Average rate increased 4% for the policies that renewed in the fourth quarter of 2014 while achieving a retention of 77%. |

• | Net written premiums decreased $77 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by the positive impact of a Hardy commutation of a third-party capital provider's 15% share of the 2012 year of account in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Hardy commutation increased 2013 net written premiums by $51 million. Average rate decreased 1% for the policies that renewed in the fourth quarter of 2014 while achieving a retention of 66%. |
• | Net operating income decreased $10 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily due to lower favorable net prior year premium and loss development. |
• | The combined ratio increased 2.5 points for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. The loss ratio increased 6.2 points, due to the distortive effect of the 2013 commutation premium and a higher current accident year loss ratio. Catastrophe losses were $5 million, or 2.2 points of the loss ratio, for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with $2 million, or 0.6 points of the loss ratio, for the prior year quarter. The expense ratio improved 3.7 points, primarily due to decreased acquisition expenses. |

• | Net operating results decreased $40 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable morbidity in our long term care business, partially offset by higher net investment income attributable to a higher invested asset base. Additionally, 2013 results included a $22 million after-tax non-recurring benefit. |

• | Collectively, CNA Financial Corporation (CNAF) and its subsidiaries are referred to as CNA or the Company. |
• | P&C Operations includes Specialty, Commercial and International. |
• | Life & Group Non-Core segment primarily includes the results of long term care businesses 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 K to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within the September 30, 2014 Form 10-Q for further discussion of this measure. |
• | In the evaluation of the results of Specialty, Commercial and International, 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 marketable securities in the public 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. |
