FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CNA FINANCIAL ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2022

NET INCOME OF $0.75 PER SHARE AND CORE INCOME OF $0.90 PER SHARE

•Net income of $205 million, which includes $40 million of net investment losses, versus net income of $368 million, which includes $27 million of net investment gains in the prior year quarter. Core income of $245 million versus $341 million in the prior year quarter reflects lower investment income from LPs and common stock, partially offset by higher underwriting income and higher income from fixed income securities.

•P&C core income of $317 million versus $351 million in the prior year quarter reflects lower investment income from LPs and common stock, partially offset by pretax underwriting income of $185 million, up 64%, and higher income from fixed income securities.

•Life & Group core income of $6 million versus $43 million in the prior year quarter reflects lower investment income from LPs.

•Corporate & Other core loss of $(78) million versus core loss of $(53) million in the prior year quarter, includes a $51 million after-tax charge related to unfavorable prior period development largely associated with legacy mass tort abuse claims, including the recent Diocese of Rochester proposed settlement.

•Net investment income of $432 million pretax includes a $16 million increase from fixed income securities to $451 million, offset by a $171 million decline from LPs and common stock.

•The P&C combined ratio was 91.0%, the lowest in over five years, compared with 94.0% in the prior year quarter, including 1.8 points of catastrophe loss impact compared with 2.8 points in the prior year quarter.

•The underlying combined ratio was 90.8%,the lowest on record, compared with 91.4% in the prior year quarter. The underlying loss ratio was 60.0% and the expense ratio was 30.5%.

•P&C segments, excluding third party captives, generated gross written premium growth of 17%. Net written premium growth was 20% in the quarter. Excluding the one-time catch-up related to the addition of a property quota share reinsurance treaty in the prior period, net written premiums grew 13%.

•P&C written rate of +6% and earned rate of +8% for the quarter.

•Book value per share excluding AOCI of $45.06, a 4% increase from year-end 2021 adjusting for $2.80 of dividends per share; book value per share of $35.06 was also impacted by a decrease in AOCI reflecting the effect of higher interest rates on fixed income net unrealized gains and losses.

•Board of Directors declares regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share.

CHICAGO, August 1, 2022 --- CNA Financial Corporation (NYSE: CNA) today announced second quarter 2022 net income of $205 million, or $0.75 per share, versus $368 million, or $1.35 per share, in the prior year quarter. Core income for the quarter was $245 million, or $0.90 per share, versus $341 million, or $1.25 per share, in the prior year quarter. Net investment losses for the quarter were $40 million, which were primarily driven by mark to market losses on non-redeemable preferred stock, compared to net investment gains of $27 million in the prior year quarter.

Our Property & Casualty segments produced core income of $317 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $34 million compared to the prior year quarter driven by lower investment income from LPs and common stock, partially offset by much improved underwriting results which increased $72 million and higher income from fixed income securities. Property & Casualty segments, excluding third party captives, generated gross written premium growth of 17% and net written premium growth of 20% (13% adjusting for the impact of a one-time ceded premium catch-up related to the addition of a property quota share reinsurance treaty in the prior period), driven by strong retention of 85% and new business growth of 27%.

Our Life & Group and Corporate & Other segments produced core income (loss) for the second quarter of 2022 of $6 million and $(78) million, respectively. Corporate & Other includes a $51 million after-tax charge related to unfavorable prior period development largely associated with legacy mass tort abuse claims, including the recent Diocese of Rochester proposed settlement.

CNA Financial declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share, payable September 1, 2022 to stockholders of record on August 15, 2022.

(a)Management utilizes the core income (loss) financial measure to monitor the Company's operations. Please refer herein to the Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures section of this press release for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure.

"Core income of $245 million was down 28% this quarter due to a $171 million decline from LPs and common stock. Income from fixed income investments was up $16 million this quarter to $451 million and P&C underwriting gain was up 64%, reflecting higher underlying underwriting income, lower cats, and favorable prior period development. The underlying combined ratio of 90.8% is our lowest on record. And I am very pleased with our top-line P&C gross written premium growth ex captives of 17% in the quarter. This was driven by our strongest retention in nearly five years and very strong new business growth. Written rate change moderated only slightly this quarter to 6%, and Commercial rates have remained relatively stable at about 5%, moderating only one point from the third quarter of 2021, while earned rate of 8% remains above loss cost trends. We had fantastic P&C performance across the board in the second quarter, and we remain optimistic about the market conditions and our growth opportunities for the remainder of the year," said Dino E. Robusto, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation.

Net investment income	$	432	$	591	$	880	$	1,095

Net investment income decreased $159 million as compared with the prior year quarter. The decrease was driven by lower LP and common stock investments, which lost (0.7)%, or $(15) million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with a return of 8.3%, or $156 million in the prior year quarter.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ equity of $9.5 billion decreased 26% from year-end 2021, primarily due to net unrealized investment losses compared to net unrealized investment gains at year-end 2021, resulting from the effect of higher interest rates on the fair value of the fixed income portfolio and dividends paid to stockholders, partially offset by net income. Net unrealized investment gains decreased $3.0 billion after-tax driven by a decrease in unrealized investment gains of $6.3 billion, partially offset by Shadow Adjustments of $2.5 billion and tax of $0.8 billion. Book value per share of $35.06 likewise decreased 26% from year-end 2021.

Book value per share ex AOCI of $45.06 increased 4% from year-end 2021 adjusting for $2.80 of dividends per share.

As of June 30, 2022, statutory capital and surplus for the Combined Continental Casualty Companies was $10,625.

•International underwrites property and casualty coverages on a global basis through a branch operation in Canada, a European business consisting of insurance companies based in the U.K and Luxembourg and Hardy, our Lloyd's Syndicate.

•Life & Group primarily includes the results of the individual and group long term care businesses that are in run off.

•Corporate & Other 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, asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP), excess workers' compensation (EWC) and legacy mass tort.

Financial Measures

Management utilizes the following metrics in their evaluation of the Property & Casualty Operations. These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

•Loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums.

•Underlying loss ratio represents the loss ratio excluding catastrophes and development.

•Expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums.

•Dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders' dividends incurred to net earned premiums.

•Combined ratio is the sum of the loss, expense and dividend ratios.

•Underlying combined ratio is the sum of the underlying loss, expense and dividend ratios.

•Renewal premium change represents the estimated change in average premium on policies that renew, including rate and exposure changes.

•Rate represents the average change in price on policies that renew excluding exposure change. For certain products within Small Business, where quantifiable, rate includes the influence of new business as well.

•Retention represents the percentage of premium dollars renewed, excluding rate and exposure changes, in comparison to the expiring premium dollars from policies available to renew.

•New business represents premiums from policies written with new customers and additional policies written with existing customers.

Gross written premiums ex. 3rd party captives represents gross written premiums excluding business which is ceded to third party captives, including business related to large warranty programs.

8

Statutory capital and surplus represents the excess of an insurance company's admitted assets over its liabilities, including loss reserves, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices. Statutory capital and surplus as of the current period is preliminary.

The Company's investment portfolio is monitored by management through analysis of various factors including unrealized gains and losses on securities, portfolio duration and exposure to market and credit risk.

To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting the reserves of certain products within the Life & Group segment would result in a premium deficiency, or would impact the reserve balance if realized, a related increase in Insurance reserves is recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of net unrealized gains (losses) through Other comprehensive income (loss) (Shadow Adjustments).

Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

This press release also contains financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP.  Management utilizes these financial measures to monitor the Company's insurance operations and investment portfolio. The Company believes the presentation of these measures provides investors with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company's operating performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures follow below.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Core Income (Loss)

Core income (loss) is calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the after-tax effects of net investment gains or losses and any cumulative effects of changes in accounting guidance. The calculation of core income (loss) excludes net investment gains or losses because net investment gains or losses are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of our primary operations. Management monitors core income (loss) for each business segment to assess segment performance. Presentation of consolidated core income (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share to Core Income (Loss) per Diluted Share

Core income (loss) per diluted share provides management and investors with a valuable measure of the Company's operating performance for the same reasons applicable to its underlying measure, core income (loss). Core income (loss) per diluted share is core income (loss) on a per diluted share basis.

Core income per diluted share	$	0.90	$	1.25	$	2.06	$	2.21

Reconciliation of Book Value per Share to Book Value per Share Excluding AOCI

Book value per share excluding AOCI allows management and investors to analyze the amount of the Company's net worth primarily attributable to the Company's business operations. The Company believes this measurement is useful as it reduces the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates.

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Book value per share	$	35.06	$	47.20
Less: Per share impact of AOCI	(10.00)		1.18

Definitions and Presentation

•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 segment primarily includes the results of long term care businesses that are in run-off.

•Corporate & Other segment primarily includes certain corporate expenses including interest on corporate debt and the results of certain property and casualty businesses in run-off, including CNA Re, asbestos and environmental pollution, excess workers' compensation and legacy mass tort. Intersegment eliminations are also included in this segment.

•Management uses the core income (loss) financial measure to monitor the Company’s operations. Please refer to Note O to the Consolidated Financial Statements within the December 31, 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion of this non-GAAP financial measure.

•Management uses underwriting results to monitor insurance operations. Underwriting results are pretax and are calculated as net earned premiums less total insurance expenses, which includes insurance claims and policyholders' benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and other insurance related expenses.

•In the evaluation of the results of Specialty, Commercial and International, management uses 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. In addition, management also utilizes renewal premium change, rate, retention and new business in evaluating operating trends. Renewal premium change represents the estimated change in average premium on policies that renew, including rate and exposure changes. Rate represents the average change in price on policies that renew excluding exposure change. For certain products within Small Business, where quantifiable, rate includes the influence of new business as well. Exposure represents the measure of risk used in the pricing of the insurance product. Retention represents the percentage of premium dollars renewed, excluding rate and exposure changes, in comparison to the expiring premium dollars from policies available to renew. Rate, renewal premium change and retention presented for the prior year is updated to reflect subsequent activity on policies written in the period. New business represents premiums from policies written with new customers and additional policies written with existing customers.

•This financial supplement may also reference or contain financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. Management utilizes these financial measures to monitor the Company's insurance operations and investment portfolio. Core income, which is derived from certain income statement amounts, is used by management to monitor performance of the Company's insurance operations. The Company's investment portfolio is monitored by management through analysis of various factors including unrealized gains and losses on securities, portfolio duration and exposure to market and credit risk.

18

•Core income (loss) is calculated by excluding from net income (loss) the after-tax effects of net investment gains or losses and any cumulative effects of changes in accounting guidance. The calculation of core income (loss) excludes net investment gains or losses because net investment gains or losses are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of our primary operations. Management monitors core income (loss) for each business segment to assess segment performance. Presentation of consolidated core income (loss) is deemed to be a non-GAAP financial measure. For reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures and other information, please refer herein and/or to CNA's most recent 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the press release, available at www.cna.com.

•Gross written premiums ex. 3rd party captives represents gross written premiums excluding business which is ceded to third party captives, including business related to large warranty programs.

•Statutory capital and surplus represents the excess of an insurance company's admitted assets over its liabilities, including loss reserves, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices.

•Pretax net prior year development and other includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance and deductible amounts.

•Net investment income from fixed income securities, as presented, includes both fixed maturity securities and non-redeemable preferred stock.

•Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.

•N/M = Not Meaningful
