Segment Financial Results For the Quarterly Periods in and for
the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009,
the Three Months Ended December 31, 2008,
and the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
As a result of the realignment of management responsibilities, CNA Financial Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (the Company or CNA) has revised its property and casualty segments in the fourth quarter of 2009. There was no change in the Company’s Life & Group Non-Core and Corporate & Other Non-Core segments.
The Company’s core property and casualty commercial insurance operations are reported in two business segments: CNA Specialty and CNA Commercial. CNA Specialty provides a broad array of professional, financial and specialty property and casualty products and services, primarily through insurance brokers and managing general underwriters. CNA Commercial includes property and casualty coverages sold to small businesses and middle market entities and organizations primarily through an independent agency distribution system. CNA Commercial also includes commercial insurance and risk management products sold to large corporations primarily through insurance brokers. Previously, the Company’s international operations were treated as a separate business unit within CNA Specialty. The products sold through the Company’s international operations are now reflected within CNA Specialty and CNA Commercial in a manner that aligns with the products within each segment. Additionally, the Company’s excess and surplus lines, which were previously included in CNA Specialty, are now included in CNA Commercial, as part of CNA Select Risk.
This Financial Supplement presents the Company’s segment financial results for each of the quarters in and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the three month period ended December 31, 2008, and the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 as if the current segment changes occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

  P&C Operations includes CNA Specialty and CNA Commercial.     
 
 
  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 primarily in run-off, including CNA Re. This segment also includes the results related to the centralized adjusting and settlement of asbestos and environmental pollution claims.
 
  Management utilizes the net operating income financial measure to monitor the Company’s operations. Please refer to Note N of the Consolidated Financial Statements within the 2008 Form 10-K for further discussion of this measure.
 
  In evaluating the results of CNA Specialty and CNA Commercial, management utilizes the combined ratio, the loss ratio, the expense ratio, and the dividend ratio. These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). 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.
 
  Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.
