NEWS RELEASE
LOEWS CORPORATION REPORTS NET INCOME OF $457 MILLION
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024

New York, NY, May 6, 2024: Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) today released its first quarter 2024 financial results.

First Quarter 2024 highlights:
Loews Corporation reported net income of $457 million, or $2.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2024, which represents a 22% increase over $375 million, or $1.61 per share, in the first quarter of 2023. The following are the highlights:

•CNA Financial Corporation’s (NYSE: CNA) net income attributable to Loews improved year-over-year due to higher net investment income and favorable net prior year loss reserve development, partially offset by higher net catastrophe losses.
•Boardwalk Pipelines’ results improved year-over-year due to higher revenues from re-contracting at higher rates and recently completed growth projects.
•Parent company investment returns improved year-over-year driven by higher returns on equity securities.
•Book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased to $83.68 as of March 31, 2024, from $81.92 as of December 31, 2023 due to strong operating results in the first quarter 2024.
•As of March 31, 2024, the parent company had $3.2 billion of cash and investments and $1.8 billion of debt.
•Loews Corporation repurchased 0.9 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $67 million since December 31, 2023.

CEO commentary:
“Loews had an exceptional quarter driven by stellar results at CNA and Boardwalk. CNA continues to experience strong profitable growth, reporting its highest ever first quarter core income.”
–James S. Tisch, President and CEO, Loews Corporation

CNA:
•Net income attributable to Loews Corporation improved 16% to $310 million from $268 million.
•Core income increased 9% to $355 million from $325 million.
•Net investment income increased due to favorable returns from limited partnerships and common stock as well as higher income from fixed income securities as a result of favorable reinvestment rates.
•Net written premiums grew by 6% driven by strong retention and new business. Net earned premiums grew by 9%.
•Property and Casualty underwriting income decreased slightly due to higher net catastrophe losses, partially offset by favorable net prior year loss reserve development.
•Property and Casualty combined ratio was 94.6% compared to 93.9% in the first quarter of 2023 due to a 1.4 point increase in catastrophe losses, partially offset by favorable prior period development. The Property and Casualty underlying combined ratio was 91.0% compared to 90.8% in the first quarter of 2023.
•Net income was positively impacted by lower investment losses driven by the favorable change in fair value of non-redeemable preferred stock.

Boardwalk:
•Net income increased 41% to $121 million compared to $86 million.
•EBITDA increased 20% to $307 million compared to $256 million.
•Net income and EBITDA improved due to higher transportation revenues from re-contracting at higher rates and recently completed growth projects, increased storage and parking and lending revenues, and the impact of the Bayou Ethane acquisition.

Loews Hotels:
•Net income of $16 million compared to $24 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $80 million compared to $86 million.
•Lower equity income from joint ventures was driven by decreased occupancy rates in Orlando.
•Net income was also impacted by higher depreciation and pre-opening expenses due to the opening of the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center.

Corporate & Other:
•Net income of $10 million compared to a net loss of $3 million.
•The increase in results is primarily due to higher investment income from parent company equity securities.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures:

CNA Financial Corporation

Core income is calculated by excluding from CNA’s net income attributable to Loews Corporation the after-tax effects of investment gains (losses) and the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income excludes investment gains (losses) because these are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of CNA’s primary operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income:

Loews Hotels & Co

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding from Loews Hotels & Co’s EBITDA, the noncontrolling interest share of EBITDA adjustments, state and local government development grants, gains or losses on asset acquisitions and dispositions, asset impairments, and equity method income, and including Loews Hotels & Co’s pro rata Adjusted EBITDA of equity method investments. Pro rata Adjusted EBITDA of equity method investments is calculated by applying Loews Hotels & Co’s ownership percentage to the underlying equity method investment’s components of EBITDA and excluding distributions in excess of basis.

Exhibit 99.2

Loews Corporation First Quarter 2024 Earnings Remarks

James Tisch, President & CEO:

Good morning and welcome to our first quarter 2024 earnings report. Loews had an exceptional quarter, reporting net income of $457 million or $2.05 per share compared to net income of $375 million or $1.61 per share in the first quarter of 2023. The more-than-20% year-over-year increase in net income is due to strong results at CNA and Boardwalk, as well as higher net investment income at the parent company.
While Jane will provide more details about our results in her remarks, I wanted to highlight CNA’s stellar first quarter. We were pleased to see that the company reported underlying underwriting income in excess of $200 million for the fourth quarter in a row. CNA’s results also included a 16% year-over-year increase in net investment income due to higher reinvestment rates and improved LP and common stock results. While the LP and common stock portfolios are subject to yearly fluctuations, we expect higher yields in the fixed income portfolio to be a tailwind for the foreseeable future.
For the remainder of my remarks, I’d like to review three headlines: executive changes at Boardwalk Pipelines, new developments at Loews Hotels and share repurchases.
A few weeks ago, Boardwalk announced that Stan Horton will retire as CEO in June and will be succeeded by Scott Hallam, who is currently the company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Stan will retain his position on Boardwalk’s Board of Directors and Scott will also join Boardwalk’s Board.
Stan joined Boardwalk in 2011 and has been instrumental in guiding the company through significant growth and transformation, establishing it as a key player in the midstream industry. We are deeply grateful for Stan’s leadership and expertise, which—in conjunction with the contributions of Boardwalk’s talented management team and employees—have transformed Boardwalk into the operationally and financially strong business that it is today. Stan led a team that invested in significant growth projects and new acquisitions. These projects resulted in substantial growth and significantly improved the quality of the company. In particular, Stan was responsible for identifying the natural gas liquids market as an attractive growth area and successfully building a large NGL transportation and storage business. More recently, Stan also enhanced the quality and stability of Boardwalk’s revenues by converting its customer base from mostly gas marketers and producers to mostly end users—primarily power generators, LNG exporters and industrial companies.
Finally, Stan achieved these remarkable results at Boardwalk while operating with the highest level of integrity. Loews could not have asked for a better or more collaborative partner. Stan has established a solid foundation for future success and is leaving Boardwalk with a deep bench of talent and a strong balance sheet.
Boardwalk’s next leader, Scott Hallam, joined the company in September of 2023, bringing with him over two decades of upstream, midstream, and downstream experience in the natural gas and NGL industries. Prior to joining Boardwalk, Scott was a Senior Vice President at the Williams Companies and had held leadership roles in numerous areas such as Operations, Commercial, Engineering, Construction, Environmental and Safety. Over the past seven months, we have been impressed with Scott’s leadership and knowledge of the pipeline industry. We are excited to work with Scott in his new role and are confident that Boardwalk will continue to excel under his leadership. Of course, it goes without saying that a business’s performance is not solely dependent on the CEO. Boardwalk has a fantastic management team that will continue to operate the business in partnership with Scott.

Loews Hotels opened its much-anticipated 888-room property in Arlington, Texas this quarter. The Loews Arlington Hotel began welcoming customers on February 13th, and has already attracted substantial group business due to its prime location next to three professional sports stadiums and the National Medal of Honor Museum, scheduled to open in April of 2025. The Loews Arlington contains about 250,000 square feet of best-in-class meeting and event space, including the largest ballroom in North Texas. In Orlando, construction continues on three new hotels with a combined total of 2,000 rooms in conjunction with the opening of Universal theme park’s new “Epic Universe” campus. We are excited to announce the opening dates for the first two of those hotels, each of which will have 750 rooms. The Universal Stella Nova Resort is expected to open in January of 2025, and the Universal Terra Luna Resort is expected to open in February of 2025. The third property under development, the Universal Grand Helios, will have 500 rooms and is expected to open later in 2025. We look forward to providing more details in the coming months. By the end of 2025, we anticipate Loews Hotels will manage and have a 50% interest in 11 properties in Orlando, with a combined total of 11,000 rooms.
Next, I want to give you an update on our recent share repurchases. Since the end of 2023 we spent $67 million to repurchase almost 900,000 shares, including just over 200,000 shares in the first quarter and just under 700,000 shares since the end of the first quarter. We slowed down the rate of share repurchases in the first quarter given that Loews’s share price was at or near all-time highs. For context, Loews shares are now trading about 25% higher than the average price of approximately $60 per share that we paid last year to repurchase 14 million shares. Share repurchases remain integral to our capital allocation strategy and we continue to believe that our stock trades at a discount to its intrinsic value.
Before I turn it over to Jane to discuss our first quarter results in greater detail, I am sad to report that Joe Rosenberg, Loews’s long-time Chief Investment Strategist, passed away last Monday. When I arrived at Loews in June of 1977, my father said to Joe, “Take an hour and teach Jim the business.” Forty-seven years later I was still learning from him.
Joe was the consummate investor, proficient in investing in commodities, fixed income, currencies and stocks. He was a global thinker with a nose for value – and, much more often than not, that nose led to great investments. He loved talking about markets to anyone who had thoughts and insights to offer, and his Rolodex included the best in the investment business. Over the course of his 45-year tenure at Loews Corporation, Joe was a beloved mentor to many of us, and respected by all. He will be sorely missed.
Jane Wang, CFO:
For the first quarter of 2024, Loews reported net income of $457 million or $2.05 per share, compared with net income of $375 million or $1.61 per share in last year’s first quarter. This year-over-year increase was driven by higher income at CNA and Boardwalk, as well as higher investment income at the parent company.
Book value per share increased from $70.69 at the end of 2023 to $72.87 at the end of 2024’s first quarter, and book value per share excluding AOCI increased from $81.92 at the end of 2023 to $83.68 at the end of the first quarter. These increases were driven by strong earnings in the first quarter.
CNA had an excellent first quarter, contributing net income of $310 million to Loews, which represents an increase of $42 million compared to $268 million in the first quarter of last year. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher net investment income and higher underlying underwriting income, offset by greater catastrophe losses.
CNA’s net investment income increased 16% compared to the first quarter of 2023 as a result of improved LP and common stock returns as well as favorable reinvestment rates on fixed income securities. LP and common stock income increased by $40 million over last year’s first quarter. Fixed income results benefited from a more than 10-basis point increase in pre-tax yields to 4.7%.
Page 2 of 6

As Jim mentioned, CNA produced another quarter of robust underlying underwriting income, which was driven by continued profitable growth. Net earned and net written Property & Casualty premiums increased by 9% and 6%, respectively, compared with the first quarter of 2023. Written premium growth was driven by four points of rate, two points of exposure growth and strong retention at 85%.
CNA’s combined ratio increased by 0.7 points to 94.6% in the first quarter of 2024 versus 93.9% in the first quarter of last year. That increase was driven by a 1.4-point increase in catastrophe losses, partially offset by favorable prior period development. CNA’s catastrophe losses of 3.8 points were more in line with typical first quarter losses compared to benign losses in last year’s first quarter. The underlying combined ratio increased 0.2 points to 91.0%.
During the first quarter of 2024 CNA also issued $500 million of ten-year notes at 5.125% to prefund the company’s $550 million maturity in May of this year.
Please refer to CNA’s Investor Relations website for more details on their results.
Turning to our natural gas pipeline business, Boardwalk’s EBITDA increased by $51 million to $307 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $256 million in the first quarter of 2023. The 20% increase in EBITDA was driven by higher recontracting rates for natural gas transportation and storage as well as greater product sales. The acquisition of Bayou Ethane and recently completed growth projects also contributed to the year-over-year increase.
Boardwalk contributed $121 million of net income to Loews in 2024’s first quarter, which represents an increase of $35 million from $86 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in net income was smaller than the change in EBITDA due to higher depreciation expense from the company’s acquisition of Bayou Ethane as well as recently completed growth projects.
During the first quarter of 2024, Boardwalk also issued $600 million of notes at 5.625% in order to prefund an upcoming $600 million maturity in December of this year.
Loews Hotels reported Adjusted EBITDA of $80 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $86 million in the first quarter of 2023. The hotel company contributed $16 million of net income to Loews in the first quarter of 2024 versus $24 million in the prior year’s first quarter. The main driver of the year-over-year decline was lower occupancy in Orlando due in part to ongoing renovations, partially offset by higher occupancy at city-center hotels as a result of the continued recovery in group travel. Results were impacted by greater depreciation and pre-opening expenses from the company’s new property in Arlington.
Finally, at the parent company, Loews recorded after-tax investment income of $43 million in the first quarter of 2024, which represents an increase of $10 million compared to $33 million in last year’s first quarter. The improvement was driven by higher returns on our common stock portfolio.
From a cash flow perspective, Loews received $606 million in dividends from CNA and $50 million of distributions from Boardwalk in the first quarter of 2024. Since the end of 2023, we repurchased about 900,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $67 million. Loews ended 2024’s first quarter with $3.2 billion in cash and short-term investments.

Investor Q&A
Every quarter, we encourage shareholders to send us questions in advance of earnings that they would like us to answer in our remarks. Please see below for the questions we have received, along with some additional questions we found relevant.
Jim, how will data centers impact natural gas demand and Boardwalk?
Growth in artificial intelligence has driven and should continue to drive a proliferation of data centers, creating a substantial uptick in U.S. electricity demand. Incremental demand from data centers also coincides with pressure on the grid from the adoption of electric cars and the onshoring of certain manufacturing facilities. Therefore, after more than a decade of stagnation, electricity demand may grow as much as 20% by the end of this decade. The increase in power demand cannot be met by renewables alone given issues with intermittency, land use and permitting new transmission lines. Therefore, new natural gas-fired power plants will need to be constructed. Boardwalk is already seeing attractive growth projects from new power plants that are being built near its pipeline system.
Jane, how has the higher interest rate environment impacted Loews Hotels?
The higher interest rate environment has not materially impacted Loews Hotels’ ability to refinance its properties, due in large part to its staggered maturities. That being said, the hotel company anticipates that higher rates may impact interest expense as loans mature. However, as the company replaces construction loans with permanent financing, it will likely benefit from lower spreads.
It is important to keep in mind that while higher interest rates are a headwind for Loews Hotels, they are actually a tailwind for Loews Corp overall. As a 92% owner of CNA, Loews benefits from the higher rates that CNA earns on its $47 billion investment portfolio.
Jim, are there any updates on the Boardwalk litigation?
In December of 2022 the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling in favor of the former Boardwalk minority unitholders. The Delaware Court of Chancery held oral arguments on April 12th regarding unresolved issues that the Delaware Supreme Court remanded back to the lower court. We expect a decision from the Chancery Court later this year. Loews has the ability to appeal any unfavorable decision back to the Delaware Supreme Court.
