News Release

Chubb Reports Fourth Quarter Net Income Per Share of $3.27; Core Operating Income Per Share was $3.17, up 16.5%; Full-Year P&C Net Premiums Written of $27.1 Billion, up 4.2%; Book Value and Tangible Book Value Per Share up 6.5% and 8.6%, Respectively, for the Year

 

    Fourth quarter net income of $1,533 million and core operating income (1) of $1,489 million included a provisional tax benefit of $450 million, or $0.96 per share, related to the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Reform) and a one-time expense related to a contribution of $50 million ($32.5 million after-tax) to the Chubb Charitable Foundation to make a difference in society. Excluding these items, core operating income in the quarter was $2.28 per share.

 

    Pre-tax catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and including reinstatement premiums, were $447 million for the quarter, including $320 million for the northern California wildfires and other catastrophe losses as previously announced, $157 million for the southern California wildfires and $30 million of favorable adjustments related to catastrophe loss events in the third quarter.

 

    Fourth quarter P&C combined ratio was 90.7% compared with 87.8% prior year. The fourth quarter P&C current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 86.4% compared with 87.4% prior year.

 

    Full-year net income was $3.9 billion, or $8.19 per share, and core operating income was $3.8 billion, or $8.03 per share, including after-tax catastrophe losses of $2.2 billion, or $4.61 per share.

 

    Full-year P&C combined ratio was 94.7% compared with 88.7% prior year. The P&C current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 87.6% compared with 89.0% prior year. The year-over-year decline of 1.4 percentage points was driven by a decline in the expense ratio of 2.1 percentage points partially offset by an increase in the loss and loss expense ratio of 0.7 percentage points.

 

    P&C current accident year underwriting income excluding catastrophe losses was $912 million for the quarter, up 10.3%, and $3,347 million for the year, up 13.7%.

 

    Consolidated and P&C net premiums written were $7.1 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively, for the quarter and $29.2 billion and $27.1 billion, respectively, for the year. Excluding merger-related actions, (2) P&C net premiums written were up 3.7% for the quarter and up 6.3% for the year. Merger-related actions are now largely completed. Foreign currency movement favorably impacted premium growth in the quarter by 1.2% and had no impact on premium growth for the year.

 

    The annualized ROE and core operating ROE were both 12.1% for the quarter and 7.8% for the year.

    Adjusted net investment income was $873 million, pre-tax, for the quarter and a record $3.5 billion, pre-tax, for the year, up 3.5% and 6.1%, respectively.

 

    Operating cash flow was $1.1 billion for the quarter and $4.5 billion for the year.

 

    Book value per share is up 1.5% from the prior quarter and 6.5% for the year. Tangible book value per share is up 1.2% from the prior quarter and 8.6% for the year.

 

    Core operating effective tax rate for 2018 is expected to be within a range of 13% to 15%.

 

  (1) Effective Q4 2017, in consideration of the SEC guidance on non-GAAP financial measures, the company relabeled operating income, operating return on equity (ROE) and operating effective tax rate to “core operating income,” “core operating ROE,” and “core operating effective tax rate,” respectively. This is a change in terminology only and the method of calculation and definition of these measures is consistent with prior periods. References to core operating income mean net of tax, whether or not noted.
  (2) Merger-related actions include the cancellation of certain portfolios or lines of business that do not meet company underwriting standards, the purchase of additional reinsurance, as well as a prior year accounting policy alignment adjustment. For the year there is also a one-time unearned premium reserve (UPR) transfer in 2016.

ZURICH – January 30, 2018 – Chubb Limited (NYSE: CB) today reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 of $1,533 million, or $3.27 per share, compared with net income of $1,610 million, or $3.41 per share, for the same quarter last year. Core operating income was $1,489 million, or $3.17 per share, compared with $1,283 million, or $2.72 per share, for the same quarter last year. The property and casualty (P&C) combined ratio was 90.7% for the quarter. Book value per share increased 1.5% and tangible book value per share increased 1.2% from September 30, 2017 and now stand at $110.32 and $65.87, respectively. The 2017 Tax Reform increased book value by $450 million and decreased tangible book value by $293 million, primarily due to the impact of the reduced U.S. corporate tax rate on deferred tax balances and excess foreign tax credits created by the deemed repatriation of foreign subsidiary earnings. Foreign currency movement in the quarter unfavorably impacted book value by $390 million and tangible book value by $190 million.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the tax expenses (benefits) related to the table above were $(93) million and $(143) million, respectively, for Chubb one-time integration and merger-related expenses; $(85) million and $(101) million, respectively, for amortization of fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets and long-term debt; $5 million and $68 million, respectively, for adjusted net realized gains and losses; and $34 million and $991 million, respectively, for core operating income.

Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb Limited, commented: “Our fourth quarter results were highlighted by core operating income per share, up 16.5%, which was aided by a one-time benefit from tax reform, excellent ex-CAT underwriting performance from every division, a core operating ROE of 12% and improving commercial P&C pricing in a number of our businesses globally. On the other hand, the quarter was impacted by the two largest wildfires in California history. Net P&C premiums excluding merger-related actions were up 3.7% for the quarter and contributed to growth of 6.3% for the year. With merger-related underwriting actions and their impact on revenue growth largely behind us, a strong economy, both domestic and global, and positive momentum continuing to build for commercial P&C pricing in a number of classes, we are quite optimistic about our prospects for improved premium revenue growth in the year ahead.

“For the year, we produced $3.8 billion in core operating income, down 20% from what we would have earned with a normalized level of annual catastrophe losses and without the benefit from tax reform. Pre-tax, current accident year underwriting income excluding CATs was $3.3 billion, up 14%, while investment income was a record $3.5 billion, up 6%. Our published results led to a core operating ROE of nearly 8% and reasonably strong book and tangible book value per share growth of 6.5% and 8.6%, respectively.

“In the quarter, the P&C combined ratio was 90.7%, and for the year it was 94.7%, which includes $2.7 billion in net catastrophe losses. Those combined ratios, given what was likely a record or near-record year for worldwide insured natural catastrophe losses, demonstrate the quality of our underwriting and our

Chubb Limited News Release

 

balanced book of business. On a current accident year basis excluding the CATs, the combined ratio for the year was 87.6%, compared with 89% in 2016.

“In terms of the current rate environment, positive commercial P&C rate movement accelerated in the quarter month by month, with prices firming in a number of important classes, both property and casualty-related. We achieved some of the best rate change in a number of years and the positive trend has continued into January with momentum appearing to build in certain classes. Renewal retentions remained steady overall across the company and are quite good, but they varied by line of business during the quarter with some areas paying a price in terms of a modestly lower renewal retention level in order to maintain pricing discipline. The same goes with new business – some areas of our company were up while others suffered in terms of new business. These conditions, in my judgment, speak to an insurance market in transition, and rates should continue to firm as the year goes along, although not in all classes or all territories.

“Lastly, tax reform is good for our economy, and Chubb will benefit from both a lower corporate rate and additional insurance exposure growth as the economy continues to expand. We are honored to share a portion of the benefit from tax reform to make a difference in society with a contribution to the Chubb Charitable Foundation of $50 million.”

    For the year, total pre-tax and after-tax catastrophe losses were $2,746 million (10.2 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $2,171 million, respectively, compared with $1,060 million (4.0 percentage points of the combined ratio) and $844 million, respectively, last year.

Chubb Limited News Release

 

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Throughout this document there are various measures presented on a constant-dollar basis (i.e., excludes the impact of foreign exchange). We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in our results exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.

Adjusted net investment income is net investment income excluding the amortization of the fair value adjustment on acquired invested assets of $76 million in Q4 2017 and $332 million for full year 2017. We believe this measure is meaningful as it highlights the underlying performance of our invested assets and portfolio management in support of our lines of business.

Adjusted net realized gains (losses), net of tax includes net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) recorded in other income (expense) related to unconsolidated subsidiaries, and excludes realized gains and losses on crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing impacts underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations, and therefore realized gains (losses) from these derivatives are reclassified to adjusted losses and loss expenses. The P&C combined ratio includes adjusted losses and loss expenses in the ratio numerator.

Underwriting income, P&C underwriting income and Global P&C underwriting income are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. P&C underwriting income also includes gains (losses) on crop derivatives. We use underwriting income and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including net investment income, other income (expense), interest and income tax expense and adjusted net realized gains (losses). Current accident year underwriting income excluding catastrophe losses is underwriting income adjusted to exclude catastrophe losses and prior period development (PPD). We believe it is useful to exclude catastrophe losses, as they are not predictable as to timing and amount, and PPD as these unexpected loss developments on historical reserves are not indicative of our current underwriting performance. We believe the use of these measures enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business.

Segment income (loss) includes underwriting income, adjusted net investment income, other income (expense) – operating, and amortization expense of purchased intangibles.

Core operating income, net of tax, excludes adjusted realized gains and losses, Chubb integration and related expenses, and the amortization of the fair value adjustments of acquired debt and invested assets related to the Chubb Corp acquisition. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude adjusted net realized gains (losses) because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by the availability of market opportunities. We also exclude Chubb integration and related expenses related to the acquisition due to the size, complexity, and volume of this acquisition, which may not

Chubb Limited News Release

 

be indicative of such future costs. We believe that excluding the Chubb integration and related expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results. References to core operating income mean net of tax, whether or not noted. Core operating effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure which provides the effective tax rate on our Core operating income.

P&C combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss expense ratio, acquisition cost ratio and the administrative expense ratio excluding the life business and including the realized gains and loss on the crop derivatives.

Current accident year P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses excludes the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD. We believe this measure provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property and casualty business that may be obscured by these items.

Global P&C performance metrics comprise consolidated operating results (including corporate) and exclude the operating results of the company’s Life Insurance and North America Agricultural Insurance segments. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess the company’s global P&C operations which are the most economically similar. We exclude the North America Agricultural Insurance and Life Insurance segments because the results of these businesses do not always correlate with the results of our global P&C operations.

International life gross and net premiums written and deposits collected and certain Life Insurance gross and net premiums written measures presented in this release includes deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits). Life deposits are not reflected as revenues in our consolidated statements of operations in accordance with GAAP. However, we include life deposits in presenting growth in our life insurance business because new life deposits are an important component of production and key to our efforts to grow our business.

Core operating return on equity (ROE) or ROE calculated using core operating income are annualized financial measures. The ROE numerator includes income adjusted to exclude after-tax adjusted net realized gains (losses), Chubb integration and related expenses, and the amortization of the fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets and long-term debt. The ROE denominator includes the average shareholders’ equity for the period adjusted to exclude unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of tax. In addition, for 2016, the denominator was adjusted to account for the weighted-average impact of the $15,527 million issuance of common shares and equity awards related to the Chubb Corp acquisition on January 14, 2016. Core operating ROE is a useful measure as it enhances the understanding of the return on shareholders’ equity by highlighting the underlying profitability relative to shareholders’ equity excluding the effect of unrealized gains and losses on our investments.

Net premiums written excluding merger-related actions is a non-GAAP performance measure. Since the acquisition of the Chubb Corp, we have entered into new reinsurance agreements with third-party reinsurers for the Chubb Corp businesses and have taken other merger-related underwriting actions, including exiting certain types of business that do not meet our underwriting standards or adhere to our risk diversification strategy. We exclude the impact of accounting policy alignment to conform the timing of premium recognition of certain Chubb Corp foreign subsidiaries to be on the same basis as Chubb Limited. We also excluded the net premiums written related to a one-time UPR transfer in 2016 that reduced premiums in the prior year. We believe that this measure is meaningful to evaluate trends in our underlying business on a comparable basis.

Tangible book value per common share, net of tax is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets divided by the shares outstanding. The intangibles related to the Chubb Corp acquisition are excluded from the tangible

Chubb Limited News Release

 

book value per share calculation net of tax. We believe that goodwill and other intangible assets are not indicative of our underlying insurance results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. In addition, we disclose per share measures for book value and tangible book value that exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in order to adjust for the distortive effects of fluctuations in exchange rates.

Other income (expense) – operating excludes from consolidated Other income (expense) the portion of net realized gains and losses related to unconsolidated entities and gains and losses from fair value changes in separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP. Net realized gains (losses) related to unconsolidated entities is excluded from core operating income in order to enhance the understanding of our results of underwriting operations as they are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, market conditions.

Chubb integration and related expenses include all internal and external costs directly related to the integration activities of the Chubb Corp acquisition, consisting primarily of personnel-related expenses, including severance and employee retention and relocation; consulting fees; and advisor fees. Chubb integration and related expenses also include interest expense related to the $5.3 billion senior notes issued in November 2015 in order to finance a portion of the Chubb Corp acquisition. We exclude this pre-acquisition interest expense from core operating income because the operations for which the debt was issued were not part of our operating activities prior to the completion of the acquisition. Effective with the close of the Chubb Corp acquisition (January 14, 2016), the interest on this debt was considered a cost of our operations and is included within core operating income.

See reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 31-37 in the Financial Supplement. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including premium, net income, return on equity, net investment income, and effective tax rate.

Note: The results herein are presented on an as-reported basis unless otherwise indicated.

Effective Q4 2017, in consideration of the SEC guidance on non-GAAP financial measures, the company relabeled operating income, operating return on equity (ROE) and operating effective tax rate to “core operating income”, “core operating ROE”, and “core operating effective tax rate,” respectively. This is a change in terminology only and the method of calculation and definition of these measures is consistent with prior periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

We provide financial measures such as gross premiums written, net premiums written, net premiums earned, and core operating income (loss) on a constant-dollar basis. We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in these measures exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.

Adjusted losses and loss expenses and adjusted administrative expenses are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the one-time curtailment benefit related to the harmonization of the company’s U.S. pension plans. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the company harmonized and amended several U.S. retirement programs to create a unified retirement savings program which resulted in the one-time pension curtailment benefit. The portion of the benefit related to claims staff is excluded from adjusted losses and loss expenses with the remainder excluded from adjusted administrative expenses. We believe that excluding the impact of the one-time pension curtailment benefit provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by this item. Adjusted losses and loss expenses also includes realized gains and losses on crop derivatives. The crop derivatives are purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing will impact underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations and therefore realized gains and losses from these derivatives are reclassified from adjusted net realized gains (losses), also a non-GAAP financial measure.

In presenting our segment income results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting adjusted losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and adjusted administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and adjusted operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and adjusted net realized gains (losses). P&C underwriting income is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the Life Insurance segment. P&C loss and loss expense ratio and P&C combined ratio (both non-GAAP financial measures) include adjusted losses and loss expenses in the ratio numerator. P&C expense ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) and P&C combined ratio include policy acquisition costs and adjusted administrative expenses in the ratio numerator. A reconciliation of combined ratio to P&C combined ratio is provided on page 34.

P&C combined ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and prior period development (PPD) and the P&C loss and loss expense ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD are non-GAAP financial measures. The loss ratio numerator includes adjusted losses and loss expenses and excludes catastrophe losses and PPD. The combined ratio numerator includes adjusted losses and loss expenses, policy acquisition costs, and adjusted administrative expenses. The denominator for both ratios includes net premiums earned adjusted to exclude the amount of reinstatement premiums (expensed) collected. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net earned premiums when calculating the ratios. We believe that excluding the impact of catastrophe losses and PPD provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by these items.

P&C expense ratio excluding accident and health (A&H) is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the impact of our A&H business from our P&C expense ratio. The expense ratio for the A&H business is typically higher than our traditional P&C business, and we believe that this measure provides better comparison to our peer companies that may not have a significant A&H block of business.

Global P&C performance metrics are non-GAAP financial measures and comprise consolidated adjusted operating results (including corporate) and exclude the adjusted operating results of the company’s Life Insurance and North America Agricultural Insurance segments. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess the company’s global P&C operations which are the most economically similar. We exclude the North America Agricultural Insurance and Life Insurance segments because the results of these businesses do not always correlate with the results of our global P&C operations.

Adjusted net investment income is net investment income excluding the amortization of the fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets. Adjusted interest expense is interest expense excluding the amortization of the fair value adjustment of acquired debt and the interest expense on the $5.3 billion senior notes issued in November 2015 until the closing of the Chubb Corp acquisition on January 14, 2016. We believe that excluding these items are meaningful in order to present the underlying economics of the company’s business.

Other income (expense) – operating is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the portion of net realized gains and losses related to unconsolidated entities from other income (expense). These gains and losses are reported as net realized gains (losses) and represent the non-operating activities of entities where we hold more than an insignificant percentage of the investee’s shares. We exclude these gains and losses from other income (expense) to enhance the understanding of our segments’ operations as they are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to market conditions. Other income (expense) – operating and net realized gains and losses related to unconsolidated entities are recorded to Other income (expense) in our income statement on a GAAP basis.

Core operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the after-tax impact of adjusted net realized gains (losses), net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities, Chubb integration and related expenses, and the amortization of the fair value adjustments related to purchased invested assets and long-term debt from the Chubb Corp acquisition. We exclude realized gains and losses because the amount of these gains (losses) are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to the availability of market opportunities. We exclude Chubb integration and related expenses due to the size and complexity of this acquisition. These integration and related expenses are distortive to our results and are not indicative of our underlying profitability. We believe that excluding these integration and related expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results. Chubb integration expenses are incurred by the overall company and are therefore included in Corporate. The costs are not related to the on-going activities of the individual segments and are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income, as well. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. Core operating income (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP.

Core operating effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The numerator excludes tax on adjusted net realized gains (losses), tax on net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities, tax on Chubb integration and related expenses, and tax on the amortization of the fair value adjustments related to purchased invested assets and long-term debt from the Chubb Corp acquisition. The denominator excludes these same items, before tax. Core operating effective tax rate should not be viewed as a substitute for effective tax rate determined in accordance with GAAP.

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure and is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax, divided by the shares outstanding. We believe that goodwill and other intangible assets are not indicative of our underlying insurance results or trends and make book value comparisons to less acquisitive peer companies less meaningful. A reconciliation of tangible book value per share is provided on page 30. In addition, we disclose per share measures that exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations during 2016 in order to adjust for the distortive effects of fluctuations in exchange rates.

International life insurance net premiums written and deposits collected, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits) are not reflected as revenues in our consolidated statements of operations in accordance with GAAP. However, we include life deposits in presenting growth in our life insurance business because new life deposits are an important component of production and key to our efforts to grow our business.

2016 “As If” company measures presented throughout this section are prepared inclusive of the first 14 days of January 2016 prior to the acquisition close and exclusive of the impact of the unearned premium reserves intangible amortization and the elimination of the historical policy acquisition costs as a result of purchase accounting in order to present the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide visibility into our results and trends in our business by allowing for a better assessment and comparability to our historical results. These measures are consistent with how management evaluates results.

Net premiums written excluding merger-related actions is a non-GAAP performance measure. Since the acquisition of The Chubb Corporation, we have entered into new reinsurance agreements with third-party reinsurers for the Chubb Corp businesses and have taken other merger-related underwriting actions, including exiting certain types of business that do not meet our underwriting standards or adhere to our risk diversification strategy. We also exclude a merger-related accounting policy alignment adjustment and a one-time unearned premium reserve (UPR) transfer in 2016. We believe that these measures are meaningful to evaluate trends in our underlying business on a comparable basis.

Core operating ROE

Core operating return on equity (ROE) or ROE calculated using core operating income (loss): The ROE numerator includes income adjusted to exclude after-tax adjusted net realized gains (losses), Chubb integration and related expenses, and the amortization of the fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets and long-term debt. The ROE denominator includes the average shareholders’ equity for the period adjusted to exclude unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of tax. In addition, for 2016, the denominator was adjusted to account for the weighted-average impact of the $15,527 million issuance of common shares and equity awards related to The Chubb Corp acquisition on January 14, 2016. Core operating ROE is a useful measure as it enhances the understanding of the return on shareholders’ equity by highlighting the underlying profitability relative to shareholders’ equity excluding the effect of unrealized gains and losses on our investments.

Chubb integration and related expenses, net of tax

Chubb integration and related expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes all internal and external costs directly related to the integration activities of The Chubb Corp acquisition, consisting primarily of personnel-related expenses, including severance and employee retention and relocation; consulting fees; and advisor fees. Chubb integration and related expenses also include interest expense on the $5.3 billion senior notes issued in November 2015. We exclude Chubb integration expenses related to The Chubb Corp acquisition from core operating income (loss) due to the size and complexity of this acquisition. We exclude the pre-acquisition interest expense from core operating income (loss) because the operations for which the debt was issued were not part of our operating activities prior to the completion of the acquisition. Effective with the close of The Chubb Corp acquisition (January 14, 2016), the interest on this debt was considered a cost of our operations and is included within core operating income (loss). These integration and related expenses are distortive to our results and are not indicative of our underlying profitability. We believe that excluding these integration and related expenses facilitate the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results. The following table presents the reconciliation of Chubb integration expenses on a GAAP basis to Chubb integration and related expenses.

P&C combined ratio

The following table presents the reconciliation of combined ratio to P&C combined ratio. The P&C combined ratio includes the impact of realized gains and losses on crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing will impact underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations. The P&C combined ratio also excludes the one-time pension curtailment benefit of $113 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2016. We believe that excluding the impact of the one-time pension curtailment provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property & casualty business that may be obscured by this item.

References to Core operating income excluding normalized Catastrophe losses (Cats) and one-time tax reform benefit, are prepared excluding any impact of the catastrophe losses above normal level due to the significant size and number of these events in the third quarter of 2017 which could obscure the underlying operating results, as well as excluding the one-time 2017 tax reform transition benefit. We believe that these measures provide a better evaluation of our operating performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our property and casualty business.

Chubb Limited

Glossary

Chubb Limited Consolidated comprises all segments including Corporate.

Book value per common share: Shareholders’ equity divided by the shares outstanding.

P&C combined ratio: The sum of the loss and loss expense ratio, acquisition cost ratio and the administrative expense ratio excluding both the life business and the one-time pension curtailment benefit in Q4 2016 and including realized gains and losses on crop derivatives.

Core operating effective tax rate: Income tax expense excluding tax expense (benefit) on adjusted net realized gains (losses), tax benefit on amortization of fair value of acquired invested assets and debt, and tax benefit on Chubb integration and related expenses, divided by income excluding adjusted net realized gains (losses) before tax, amortization of fair value of acquired invested assets and debt before tax, and Chubb integration and related expenses before tax.

Tangible book value per common share: Shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax, divided by the shares outstanding.

Average market yield of fixed maturities: Weighted average yield to maturity of our fixed income portfolio based on the market prices of the holdings as of that date.

Average yield on invested assets: Net investment income divided by average cost of fixed maturities and other investments, and average market value of equity securities.

Tangible capital: Total capitalization less goodwill and other intangible assets.

Total capitalization: Short-term debt, long-term debt, trust preferreds, and shareholders’ equity.

NM: Not meaningful.

Chubb integration and related expenses: Chubb integration expenses comprise legal and professional fees and all other costs directly related to the integration activities of the Chubb Corp acquisition including the pre-acquisition interest expense on the $5.3 billion senior notes issued in November 2015. The pre-acquisition interest expense is included in core operating income subsequent to January 14th, 2016, the date of the acquisition close. Chubb integration expenses are incurred by the overall company and are therefore included in Corporate.
