ZURICH, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb Limited (NYSE: CB) today reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of $812 million, or $1.94 per share, and core operating income of $1.33 billion, or $3.17 per share. Net income in the quarter was adversely impacted by realized losses of $502 million after tax, principally due to the mark-to-market impact on derivatives and private equities as well as from sales in fixed income securities. The P&C combined ratio was 93.1% compared to 93.4% prior year, and the current accident year P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was 84.0% compared to 84.8% prior year. Book value per share and tangible book value per share decreased 7.0% and 15.2%, respectively, from June 30, 2022. Book value was unfavorably impacted by after-tax net realized and unrealized losses of $3.59 billion in the company's investment portfolio, principally due to the mark-to-market impact from rising interest rates in the fixed income portfolio. After-tax foreign currency movement further reduced book value and tangible book value by $823 million and $466 million, respectively. In addition, tangible book value included the impact of $1.48 billion for goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisition of Cigna's business in Asia. Book value per share and tangible book value per share now stand at $114.79 and $65.91, respectively. Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding net unrealized investment losses decreased 1.2% and 5.2%, respectively, from June 30, 2022. Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding AOCI increased 0.6% and decreased 3.3%, respectively, from June 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the tax expenses (benefits) related to the table above were $(6) million and nil, respectively, for Cigna integration expenses; $(7) million and $(11) million for amortization of fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets and long-term debt; $(109) million and $176 million, respectively, for adjusted net realized gains and losses; and $1.03 billion and $708 million, respectively, for core operating income.

Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb Limited, commented: "The broad-based strength of the company globally was clearly evident in the quarter, with core operating income up 15% and per share earnings of $3.17 up 20%. All major areas of our business contributed. We produced simply excellent underwriting results despite an active catastrophe quarter. We had record investment income, which is and will be a growing source of earnings; double-digit P&C premium revenue growth in constant dollars, which was well balanced between commercial and consumer lines; and life insurance premiums that more than doubled with the closing of our acquisition of Cigna's business in Asia.

"P&C underwriting income of $710 million was up 15% and led to a combined ratio of 93.1%, which included pre-tax catastrophe losses of $1.2 billion, with $975 million from Hurricane Ian. For the year, record underwriting income of $3.4 billion was up more than 40% or over $1 billion, with an 87.5% combined ratio, an improvement of nearly three points over prior.

"We continued to capitalize on rising interest rates, deploying cash at an average reinvestment rate of 5.8% versus a portfolio yield of 3.4%. Adjusted net investment income was a record $1.1 billion, up over 12% and topping $1 billion for the first time.

"Consolidated net premiums written, which include P&C and life insurance, grew over 17% in constant dollars. We are a global company and published growth was impacted by the strength of the dollar, which is at a 20-year high. P&C grew 11%, with commercial lines up 11.5% and consumer lines up 9.5% in constant dollars. Life premiums grew 117% with the consolidation of Cigna's business in Asia.

"Commercial P&C pricing remained strong and continued to exceed our loss costs. We are focused on inflation and staying on top of it in terms of both pricing and reserving. Commercial pricing, which includes rate and exposure, increased 8.5% in North America and about 11% in our international operations in constant dollars.

"While we are operating in a challenging economic and geopolitical environment, we are optimistic about our prospects given the strengths and momentum of our businesses. With the combination of growth and underwriting margins in our P&C businesses; our growth in investment income; and the future revenue and earnings contributions from our life insurance businesses in Asia, we expect EPS to continue to grow at a healthy rate into the future."

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 the acquisition of The Chubb Corporation (Chubb Corp) and Cigna business of $6 million and $19 million in Q3 2022 and Q3 2021, respectively, and including investment income of $69 million and $55 million in Q3 2022 and Q3 2021, respectively, 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 $36 million and $67 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the investment income from private equity partnerships was $180 million and $135 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 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), 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.

P&C underwriting income is calculated by subtracting adjusted losses and loss expenses, policy acquisition costs and administrative expenses from net premiums earned by our P&C operations. 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, income tax expense and adjusted net realized gains (losses).

P&C current accident year underwriting income excluding catastrophe losses is P&C 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.

Core operating income, net of tax, excludes from net income the after-tax impact of adjusted net realized gains (losses), Cigna integration expenses, and the amortization of fair value adjustment of acquired invested assets and long-term debt related to the Chubb Corp acquisition and Cigna business. 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) are heavily influenced by, and fluctuate in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. We exclude the amortization of the fair value adjustments related of purchased invested assets and long-term debt related to the Chubb Corp acquisition and Cigna business due to the size and complexity of these acquisitions. We also exclude Cigna integration expenses due to the size and complexity of this acquisition. Cigna integration expenses are incurred by the overall company and are included in Corporate. These expenses include legal and professional fees and all other costs directly related to the integration activities of the Cigna acquisition. The costs are not related to the on-going activities of the individual segments and are therefore also excluded from our definition of segment income. We believe these integration expenses are distortive to our results and are not indicative of our underlying profitability, and excluding these integration expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results. 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 shareholders' equity for the period adjusted to exclude unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of tax. For the ROTE calculation, the denominator is also adjusted to exclude 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 unrealized gains and losses on our investments that are heavily influenced by available market opportunities. 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 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. 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 the company's P&C insurance business. 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.

Tangible book value per common share 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.

Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding unrealized investment gains (losses), excludes the mark-to-market on the company's fixed maturities portfolio. We believe that excluding these net unrealized gains (losses) would highlight the underlying growth in book value and tangible book value without the impact of interest rate volatility. 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.

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 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.

See the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 29-35 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.
