ZURICH, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb Limited (NYSE: CB) today reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 of $2.97 billion, or $7.35 per share, and core operating income of $2.48 billion, or $6.14 per share. Book value per share and tangible book value per share increased 6.1% and 8.0%, respectively, from March 31, 2025 and now stand at $174.07 and $112.64. Book value was favorably impacted by after-tax net realized and unrealized gains of $1.54 billion in Chubb's investment portfolio and $700 million of foreign currency gains. Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding AOCI increased 3.4% and 4.5%, from March 31, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $4.30 billion, or $10.63 per share, and core operating income was $3.97 billion, or $9.82 per share. Book value per share and tangible book value per share increased 9.0% and 12.2%, from December 31, 2024. Book value was favorably impacted by after-tax net realized and unrealized gains of $2.37 billion in Chubb's investment portfolio and $1.00 billion of foreign currency gains. Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding AOCI increased 4.4% and 6.1%, from December 31, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the tax expenses (benefits) related to the table above were $55 million and $(76) million, respectively, for adjusted net realized gains and losses and other; $(16) million and nil for market risk benefits gains and losses; and $937 million and $960 million for core operating income.

Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb Limited, commented: "We had a great second quarter. Most all of our businesses and regions of the world contributed to record quarterly results, illustrating the distinctive, diversified nature of our company. Our balance of business, geographically by customer segment and product, is a distinguishing feature of our company.

"We produced a record $2.5 billion in core operating income, up nearly 13% from a year ago, with operating EPS up 14%, driven by record underwriting and strong investment income, and double-digit growth in life income. In the quarter, tangible book value growth, our primary measure of shareholder wealth creation, was 23.7% per share from a year ago, while our annualized core operating return on tangible equity was 21% for the quarter.

"Record underwriting income on both a published and current accident year basis was supported by good premium growth and underwriting margin improvement. We produced underwriting income of $1.6 billion, up 15% from a year ago, leading to a combined ratio of 85.6%, more than a percentage point better than last year and supported by a 1.5-point improvement in the current accident year loss ratio. Adjusted investment income of nearly $1.7 billion was up almost 8%.

"Global P&C premiums grew 5.8%, or 6.4% in constant dollars. Premiums in North America were up 5.3%, excluding agriculture, with 9.1% growth in personal insurance and 4.1% growth in commercial. In our Overseas General division, premiums were up 10.2% in constant dollars, with commercial business up about 7% and consumer lines up more than 15%. Our international regions all performed well, with Asia up 12.7%, Latin America up 17.3% and Europe up 8.2%.

"The commercial P&C underwriting environment for large account retail and E&S property-related business has grown much more competitive with rates dropping though terms and conditions remain steady. On the other hand, in the middle market and small commercial P&C segment, where we are a market leader, property market conditions remain disciplined and orderly. Casualty continues to firm in all areas that require rate – retail and E&S, both large account and middle-market. We are disciplined underwriters, and our growth patterns reflect market conditions. As I observed at the beginning of the year, about 80% of our businesses globally have good growth prospects, and we are capitalizing on a wide range of opportunities. I have great confidence in our ability to grow revenue and operating income at a superior rate, CATs and FX notwithstanding."

• North America Commercial P&C Insurance: The combined ratio and the current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses increased 0.6 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points, respectively, with the underlying loss ratio flat and an increase in the expense ratio primarily reflecting one-off benefits in the prior year and a change in the mix of business.
• North America Personal P&C Insurance: The current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 6.4 percentage points, including loss ratio improvement (5.4 points) and expense ratio improvement (1.0 point).
• North America Agricultural Insurance: Net premiums written declined 3.3% due to lower commodity prices in the company's crop insurance business.
• Overseas General Insurance: The current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was relatively flat reflecting loss ratio improvement offset by changes in mix of business to higher consumer lines.

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 from certain acquisitions of $4 million in both Q2 2025 and Q2 2024, and including investment income of $115 million and $91 million in Q2 2025 and Q2 2024, from partially owned investment companies (private equity partnerships) where our ownership interest is in excess of 3% that are accounted for under the equity method. The amortization of the fair value adjustment on acquired invested assets was $6 million and $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the investment income from private equity partnerships was $222 million and $177 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The mark-to-market movement on these private equity partnerships are included in adjusted net realized gains (losses) as described below. 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) and other, 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 and realized gains and losses on underlying investments supporting the liabilities of certain participating policies related to the policyholders' share of gains and losses. The crop 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 realized gains and losses on underlying investments supporting the liabilities of certain participating policies have been reclassified from net realized gains (losses) to adjusted policy benefits. We believe this better reflects the economics of the liabilities and the underlying investments supporting those liabilities. Other includes integration expenses and the amortization of fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets and long-term debt related to certain acquisitions. See Core operating income, net of tax for further description of these items.

P&C underwriting income (loss) excludes the Life Insurance segment and is calculated by subtracting adjusted losses and loss expenses, adjusted policy benefits, policy acquisition costs and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting income (loss) and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including net investment income, other income (expense), interest expense, amortization expense of purchased intangibles, integration expenses, amortization of fair value of acquired invested assets and debt, income tax expense, adjusted net realized gains (losses), and market risk benefits gains (losses).

P&C current accident year underwriting income excluding catastrophe losses is P&C underwriting income adjusted to exclude P&C 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. References in this release to "current accident year" metrics exclude catastrophe losses and prior period development, unless stated otherwise.

Core operating income relates only to Chubb income, which excludes noncontrolling interests. It excludes from Chubb net income the after-tax impact of adjusted net realized gains (losses) and other, which include items described in this paragraph, and market risk benefits gains (losses). 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) and market risk benefits gains (losses) because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. In addition, we exclude the amortization of fair value adjustments on purchased invested assets and long-term debt related to certain acquisitions due to the size and complexity of these acquisitions. We also exclude integration expenses, which include legal and professional fees and all other costs directly related to acquisition integration activities. The costs are not related to the ongoing activities of the individual segments and are therefore included in Corporate and excluded from our definition of segment income. We believe these integration expenses are not indicative of our underlying profitability, and excluding these integration expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results. Additionally, we exclude the non-recurring tax benefit from the Bermuda Economic Transition Adjustment enacted in 2023 and adjusted in 2024 and subsequent years' amortization of the related deferred tax asset, which we believe provides investors with a better view of our operating performance, enhances the understanding of the trends in the underlying business, improves comparability between periods and provides increased transparency compared to the prior presentation of the non-recurring tax benefit. References to core operating income measures mean net of tax, whether or not noted.

Core operating return on equity (ROE) and Core operating return on tangible equity (ROTE) are annualized non-GAAP financial measures. The numerator includes core operating income (loss), net of tax. The denominator includes the average Chubb shareholders' equity for the period adjusted to exclude unrealized gains (losses) on investments, current discount rate on future policy benefits (FPB), and instrument-specific credit risk on market risk benefits (MRB), all net of tax and attributable to Chubb. For the ROTE calculation, the denominator is also adjusted to exclude Chubb goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax. These measures enhance the understanding of the return on shareholders' equity by highlighting the underlying profitability relative to shareholders' equity and tangible equity excluding the effect of these items as these are heavily influenced by changes in market conditions. We believe ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of our operations without the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets.

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 losses on the crop derivatives, as noted above. 

P&C current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses excludes the impact of P&C catastrophe losses and PPD from the P&C combined ratio. We believe this measure provides a useful evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our P&C 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 Chubb's Life Insurance and North America Agricultural Insurance segments. The agriculture insurance business is a different business in that it is a public sector and private sector partnership in which insurance rates, premium growth, and risk-sharing is not market-driven like the remainder of Chubb's P&C insurance business. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess Chubb'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.

Tangible book value per common share is Chubb shareholders' equity less Chubb 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.

Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), excludes AOCI from the numerator because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates and foreign currency movement, to highlight underlying growth in book and tangible book value.

Adjusted operating cash flow is Operating cash flow excluding the operating cash flow related to the net investing activities of Huatai's asset management companies as it relates to the Consolidated Investment Products as required under consolidation accounting. Because these entities are investment companies, we are required to retain the investment company presentation in our consolidated results, which means, we include the net investing activities of these entities in our operating cash flows. Chubb has elected to remove the impact of net investing activities of consolidated investment companies from our operating cash flow as they may distort a reader's analysis of our underlying operating cash flow related to the core insurance company operations. These net investing activities are more appropriately classified outside of operating cash flows, consistent with our consolidated investing activities. Accordingly, we believe that it is appropriate to adjust operating cash flow for the impact of consolidated investment products.

Life Insurance and International life insurance net premiums written and deposits collected 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 U.S. GAAP. However, we include life deposits in presenting growth in our life insurance business because life deposits are an important component of production and key to our efforts to grow our business.

See the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 27-33 in the Financial Supplement. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including premium, net income, book value, return on equity, and net investment income.
