LOEWS CORPORATION REPORTS NET INCOME OF $595 MILLION FOR 2013

AS COMPARED TO $568 MILLION IN 2012

NEW YORK, February 10, 2014—Loews Corporation (NYSE:L) today reported net income for 2013 of $595 million, or $1.53 per share, compared to $568 million, or $1.43 per share, in 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2013, Loews reported a net loss of $198 million, or $0.51 per share, as compared to a net loss of $32 million, or $0.08 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013 and 2012 include the following significant items (after tax and noncontrolling interests):

A ceiling test impairment charge at HighMount Exploration & Production LLC related to the carrying value of its natural gas and oil properties of $52 million and $186 million in the fourth quarter and full year of 2013, as compared to charges of $97 million and $433 million for the 2012 periods.

Goodwill impairment charges of $398 million in the fourth quarter and full year of 2013 primarily related to HighMount reflecting the continued low market prices for natural gas and natural gas liquids and recent history of negative reserve revisions.

A $111 million charge in the fourth quarter and full year of 2013 related to CNA Financial Corporation’s retroactive reinsurance agreement to cede its legacy asbestos and environmental pollution liabilities to National Indemnity, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (Loss Portfolio Transfer or LPT). Under retroactive reinsurance accounting, amounts ceded through the LPT in excess of the consideration paid result in a deferred gain that is recognized in income over future periods. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the cumulative amounts ceded under the LPT exceeded the consideration paid, resulting in the recognition of an accounting loss.

Book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) increased to $49.38 at December 31, 2013 from $47.94 at December 31, 2012.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to 2012

Income before ceiling test and goodwill impairment charges, the impact of the LPT charge and net investment gains (losses) was $356 million in 2013 as compared to $67 million in 2012. This increase is primarily due to higher earnings at CNA and increased investment income at the parent company due to improved performance of equities and limited partnership investments. These increases were partially offset by lower earnings at Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc.

CNA’s earnings increased primarily from improved non-catastrophe current accident year underwriting results, higher investment income and lower catastrophe losses. These increases were partially offset by a lower level of favorable net prior year development in 2013 as compared to 2012. The prior year catastrophe losses included $171 million (after tax and noncontrolling interests) related to Storm Sandy.

Diamond Offshore’s earnings decreased primarily due to lower utilization including downtime for scheduled surveys and shipyard projects and a $27 million charge (after noncontrolling interests) for an uncertain tax position related to Egyptian operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to 2012

Income before ceiling test and goodwill impairment charges, the impact of the LPT charge and net investment gains was $1.3 billion in 2013 as compared to $968 million in 2012. This increase is primarily due to the reasons discussed in the three month comparison above. In addition, Diamond Offshore’s earnings in 2012 included a gain of $32 million (after tax and noncontrolling interests) from the sale of six jack-up rigs.
