Net operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $86 million as compared with the same period in 2007. Net operating income for our core Property & Casualty Operations decreased $77 million, while net operating income for our Non-Core operations decreased $9 million. This overall decrease was primarily due to lower net investment income, with additional impacts from decreased current accident year underwriting results in our core Property & Casualty Operations and increased catastrophe losses. The Property & Casualty Operations produced combined ratios of 98.1% and 95.1% in the first quarters of 2008 and 2007.
Pretax net investment income for the first quarter of 2008 decreased $174 million over the same period of 2007. This decrease was primarily driven by a $91 million decline in limited partnership results and an $80 million unfavorable change in trading portfolio results. The decreased results from the trading portfolio were largely offset by a corresponding decrease in the policyholders’ funds reserves supported by the trading portfolio.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $109 million as compared with the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to lower net operating income and higher net realized investment losses.
“CNA’s disciplined approach in an increasingly competitive market continues to serve us well,” said Stephen W. Lilienthal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation. “During the first quarter, our core Property & Casualty Operations delivered a sub-100% combined ratio for the 9th consecutive quarter. While our earnings were impacted by reduced investment income, CNA is well positioned operationally and financially to maintain our profitable course. In addition, we repurchased shares during the quarter for the first time in nearly 10 years. These transactions, along with the dividend initiated last year, were made possible by CNA’s much improved capital position and reflect our ongoing focus on capital management.”

Business Operating Highlights
Standard Lines works with an independent agency distribution system and network of brokers to market a broad range of property and casualty insurance products and services primarily to small, middle-market and large businesses and organizations domestically.
  Net written premiums decreased $96 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared with the same period in 2007. Standard Lines retention increased 2 points to 79% as compared to the same period in 2007. Rates on average decreased 5% during the first quarter of 2008.
  Net income and net operating income decreased $55 million and $59 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared with the same period in 2007. These decreases were primarily driven by lower net investment income, decreased current accident year underwriting results and higher catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses were $34 million after-tax in the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $20 million after-tax in the first quarter of 2007. These decreases were partially offset by increased favorable net prior year development.
Specialty Lines provides professional, financial and specialty property and casualty products and services, both domestically and abroad, through a network of brokers, managing general underwriters and independent agencies.
  Net written premiums decreased $16 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared with the same period in 2007. Specialty Lines retention remained flat at 84% as compared to the same period in 2007. Rates on average decreased 4% during the first quarter of 2008.
  Net income and net operating income decreased $14 million and $18 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared with the same period in 2007, primarily driven by lower net investment income and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency rate movements. These decreases were partially offset by $10 million of favorable results in our warranty line of business, which resulted from an annual review.
Life & Group Non-Core primarily includes the results of the life and group lines of business that are in run-off. Net earned premiums relate primarily to the group and individual long term care businesses.
  Net results for the first quarter of 2008 decreased $17 million as compared with the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to net realized investment losses and a decline in net results in our pension deposit business.
Corporate & Other Non-Core 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.
  Net results for the first quarter of 2008 decreased $20 million as compared with the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower net investment income and decreased net realized investment results.

FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating the results of the Standard Lines and Specialty Lines, management utilizes the combined ratio, the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. These ratios are calculated using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) financial results. 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.
This press release may also reference or contain financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. For reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, please refer to CNA’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the financial supplement, available at www.cna.com.

  P&C Operations includes Standard Lines and Specialty Lines.
 
  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 (A&E).
 
  Property and Casualty Companies includes Standard Lines, Specialty Lines and P&C business written in the Life & Group Non-Core and Corporate & Other Non-Core segments.
 
  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 2007 Form 10-K for further discussion of this measure.
 
  In evaluating the results of Standard Lines and Specialty Lines, 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.
 
  Limited partnerships (LPs) are a relatively small portion of CNA’s overall investment portfolio. The majority of the LPs employ strategies that generate returns through investing in a substantial number of securities that are readily marketable while engaging in various risk management techniques primarily in fixed and public equity markets. Some of these limited partnership investment strategies may include low levels of leverage and hedging that potentially introduce more volatility and risk to the partnership returns.
 
  Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.
