Loews (NYSE: L) reported Q4 2024 net income of $187 million ($0.86 per share), compared to $446 million ($1.99 per share) in Q4 2023. The results include a previously reported $265 million pension settlement charge for CNA. Full-year 2024 net income was $1,414 million ($6.41 per share).

Key highlights: CNA Financial's results decreased due to higher catastrophe losses and investment losses. Boardwalk Pipelines improved due to increased revenues from higher re-contracting rates. Loews Hotels saw decreased results primarily from higher depreciation and interest expenses related to the Arlington Hotel opening.

The company's book value per share excluding AOCI increased to $88.18 as of December 31, 2024. During 2024, Loews repurchased 7.7 million common shares for $611 million, with 4.2 million shares ($349 million) repurchased in Q4. The parent company held $3.3 billion in cash and investments with $1.8 billion in debt at year-end.

Loews (NYSE: L) ha registrato un reddito netto nel quarto trimestre del 2024 di 187 milioni di dollari (0,86 dollari per azione), rispetto a 446 milioni di dollari (1,99 dollari per azione) nel quarto trimestre del 2023. I risultati includono un onere di 265 milioni di dollari per una risoluzione pensionistica di CNA già comunicata. Il reddito netto dell'intero anno 2024 è stato di 1.414 milioni di dollari (6,41 dollari per azione).

Le principali evidenze: i risultati di CNA Financial sono diminuiti a causa di maggiori perdite per catastrofi e perdite sugli investimenti. Boardwalk Pipelines è migliorato grazie all'aumento dei ricavi provenienti da tassi di ri-contrattazione più elevati. Loews Hotels ha registrato risultati in calo principalmente a causa dell'aumento dell'ammortamento e delle spese per interessi legate all'apertura dell'Arlington Hotel.

Il valore contabile per azione dell'azienda, escluso l'AOCI, è aumentato a 88,18 dollari al 31 dicembre 2024. Durante il 2024, Loews ha riacquistato 7,7 milioni di azioni ordinarie per 611 milioni di dollari, con 4,2 milioni di azioni (349 milioni di dollari) riacquistate nel quarto trimestre. La società madre deteneva 3,3 miliardi di dollari in contante e investimenti con 1,8 miliardi di dollari in debito a fine anno.

Loews (NYSE: L) reportó un ingreso neto del cuarto trimestre de 2024 de 187 millones de dólares (0,86 dólares por acción), en comparación con 446 millones de dólares (1,99 dólares por acción) en el cuarto trimestre de 2023. Los resultados incluyen un cargo de 265 millones de dólares por un acuerdo de pensión de CNA ya informado. El ingreso neto del año completo de 2024 fue de 1,414 millones de dólares (6,41 dólares por acción).

Aspectos destacados: los resultados de CNA Financial disminuyeron debido a mayores pérdidas por catástrofes y pérdidas de inversiones. Boardwalk Pipelines mejoró debido al aumento de los ingresos por tasas de recontratación más altas. Loews Hotels vio resultados disminuidos principalmente por mayores gastos de depreciación e intereses relacionados con la apertura del Arlington Hotel.

El valor contable por acción de la compañía, excluyendo AOCI, aumentó a 88,18 dólares a partir del 31 de diciembre de 2024. Durante 2024, Loews recompró 7,7 millones de acciones ordinarias por 611 millones de dólares, con 4,2 millones de acciones (349 millones de dólares) recompradas en el cuarto trimestre. La empresa madre tenía 3,3 mil millones de dólares en efectivo e inversiones con 1,8 mil millones de dólares en deuda al final del año.

로우스 (NYSE: L)는 2024년 4분기 순이익이 1억 8700만 달러(주당 0.86 달러)로 2023년 4분기의 4억 4600만 달러(주당 1.99 달러)와 비교되었다고 보고했습니다. 이 결과에는 CNA의 연금 합의에 대한 2억 6500만 달러의 비용이 포함되어 있습니다. 2024년 전체 연간 순이익은 14억 1400만 달러(주당 6.41 달러)였습니다.

주요 하이라이트: CNA 파이낸셜의 결과는 더 높은 재난 손실과 투자 손실로 인해 감소했습니다. Boardwalk 파이프라인은 재계약 요금 인상으로 인해 수익이 증가하면서 개선되었습니다. Loews 호텔은 Arlington 호텔 개장과 관련된 더 높은 감가상각 및 이자 비용으로 인해 결과가 감소했습니다.

회사의 AOCI를 제외한 주당 장부 가치는 2024년 12월 31일 기준으로 88.18 달러로 증가했습니다. 2024년 동안 Loews는 6억 1100만 달러에 770만 주의 일반주를 재매입했으며, 4분기에는 420만 주(3억 4900만 달러)를 재매입했습니다. 모회사는 연말 기준으로 현금 및 투자로 33억 달러, 부채는 18억 달러를 보유하고 있었습니다.

Loews (NYSE: L) a annoncé un revenu net de 187 millions de dollars (0,86 dollar par action) pour le quatrième trimestre de 2024, contre 446 millions de dollars (1,99 dollar par action) au quatrième trimestre de 2023. Les résultats incluent une charge de 265 millions de dollars liée à un règlement de pension de la CNA déjà rapportée. Le revenu net pour l'exercice 2024 s'élevait à 1,414 milliard de dollars (6,41 dollars par action).

Principales faits saillants : les résultats de CNA Financial ont diminué en raison de pertes plus élevées liées aux catastrophes et de pertes d'investissement. Boardwalk Pipelines s'est amélioré grâce à l'augmentation des revenus provenant de taux de recontractation plus élevés. Loews Hotels a constaté une baisse de ses résultats, principalement en raison d'une augmentation des amortissements et des charges d'intérêts liés à l'ouverture de l'hôtel Arlington.

La valeur comptable par action de l'entreprise, excluant l'AOCI, a augmenté à 88,18 dollars au 31 décembre 2024. Au cours de l'année 2024, Loews a racheté 7,7 millions d'actions ordinaires pour 611 millions de dollars, dont 4,2 millions d'actions (349 millions de dollars) rachetées au 4e trimestre. La société mère détenait 3,3 milliards de dollars en liquidités et en investissements, avec 1,8 milliard de dollars de dettes à la fin de l'année.

Loews (NYSE: L) berichtete für das 4. Quartal 2024 ein Nettoergebnis von 187 Millionen Dollar (0,86 Dollar pro Aktie), verglichen mit 446 Millionen Dollar (1,99 Dollar pro Aktie) im 4. Quartal 2023. Die Ergebnisse enthalten bereits gemeldete Kosten in Höhe von 265 Millionen Dollar für eine Pensionsregelung von CNA. Das Nettoergebnis für das Gesamtjahr 2024 betrug 1,414 Millionen Dollar (6,41 Dollar pro Aktie).

Wesentliche Höhepunkte: Die Ergebnisse von CNA Financial sanken aufgrund höherer Katastrophenverluste und Investitionsverluste. Boardwalk Pipelines verbesserte sich aufgrund gestiegener Einnahmen aus höheren Neukontraktsätzen. Loews Hotels verzeichnete einen Rückgang der Ergebnisse, hauptsächlich bedingt durch höhere Abschreibungs- und Zinsaufwendungen im Zusammenhang mit der Eröffnung des Arlington Hotels.

Der Buchwert pro Aktie des Unternehmens ohne AOCI stieg zum 31. Dezember 2024 auf 88,18 Dollar. Im Jahr 2024 kaufte Loews 7,7 Millionen Stammaktien für 611 Millionen Dollar zurück, davon 4,2 Millionen Aktien (349 Millionen Dollar) im 4. Quartal. Das Mutterunternehmen hielt zum Jahresende 3,3 Milliarden Dollar in bar und Investitionen bei 1,8 Milliarden Dollar Schulden.

Insights

Loews 's Q4 2024 results reveal a nuanced picture of operational resilience despite headline pressure. The core business segments demonstrate robust fundamentals, even as reported earnings faced a one-time pension charge impact:

The standout performer was Boardwalk Pipelines, with net income surging to $145 million from $92 million, driven by higher re-contracting rates and successful growth projects. This reflects strong pricing power and strategic expansion in the energy infrastructure sector.

Capital allocation remains shareholder-friendly, with 7.7 million shares repurchased for $611 million in 2024, continuing into 2025 with an additional $164 million in buybacks. The company's book value per share excluding AOCI increased to $88.18, representing a 7.6% year-over-year growth.

CNA Financial's underlying performance remains solid with a 91.4% combined ratio, though catastrophe losses impacted results. Loews Hotels' slight earnings decline reflects investment in growth via the Arlington property, suggesting potential future upside as the asset matures.

The parent company's strong liquidity position of $3.3 billion in cash and investments, against $1.8 billion in debt, provides substantial flexibility for future capital deployment and strategic opportunities.

7.7 MILLION COMMON SHARES REPURCHASED IN 2024 FOR $611 MILLION

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) today released its fourth quarter 2024 financial results.

Fourth Quarter 2024 highlights:
Loews Corporation reported net income of $187 million, or $0.86 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $446 million, or $1.99 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. This year's fourth quarter results include a pension settlement charge for CNA of $265 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interests), which was previously reported in October 2024. The following are key highlights:

  • CNA Financial Corporation's (NYSE: CNA) net income attributable to Loews excluding the pension charge decreased year-over-year due to higher catastrophe losses and investment losses in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to investment gains in the prior year period, partially offset by higher net investment income.
  • Boardwalk Pipelines' results improved year-over-year mainly due to increased revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024 from re-contracting at higher rates and recently completed growth projects.
  • Loews Hotels' fourth quarter 2024 results decreased primarily due to higher depreciation and interest expense related to the opening of the Arlington Hotel and Convention Center in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Parent company fourth quarter investment income improved year-over-year due to higher returns on equity securities. 
  • Book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased to $88.18 as of December 31, 2024, from $81.92 as of December 31, 2023 due to strong operating results and repurchases of common shares during the year. 
  • The pension settlement charge had a de minimis impact on total book value per share as the unrealized loss was previously included in AOCI. 
  • On December 31, 2024, the parent company had $3.3 billion of cash and investments and $1.8 billion of debt. 
  • Loews Corporation repurchased 4.2 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $349 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

CNA:

  • Net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $19 million compared to $336 million.
  • Net income for 2024 includes a pension settlement charge of $265 million. Excluding this pension charge, net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $284 million compared to $336 million.
  • Core income was $342 million compared to $362 million.
  • Net investment income growth was primarily driven by higher returns from limited partnership and common stock investments. Income from fixed income securities also increased as a result of favorable reinvestment rates and a larger invested asset base.
  • Net written premiums grew by 10% driven by strong retention and new business. Net earned premiums grew by 9%.
  • Property and Casualty underwriting income decreased due to higher catastrophe losses, including Hurricane Milton.
  • Property and Casualty combined ratio increased by one point to 93.1% compared to 92.1% as a result of higher catastrophe losses. Property and Casualty underlying combined ratio was 91.4% for both periods.
  • Investment losses were driven by impairment losses on fixed income securities and an unfavorable change in the fair value of non-redeemable preferred stock.

Boardwalk:

  • Net income increased to $145 million compared to $92 million.
  • Net income for 2024 includes a $36 million income tax benefit from an adjustment to deferred state income taxes for a rate reduction effective in 2025.
  • EBITDA increased 12% to $290 million compared to $260 million.
  • Net income and EBITDA improved due to increased transportation revenues from higher re-contracting rates and recently completed growth projects and increased storage and parking and lending revenues.

Loews Hotels:

  • Net income of $27 million compared to $32 million.
  • Results decreased primarily due to higher depreciation and interest expense related to the opening of the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased to $84 million compared to $83 million.

Corporate & Other:

  • Net loss of $4 million compared to $14 million.
  • Results improved primarily due to higher investment income from parent company equity securities.

Year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023

Loews Corporation reported net income of $1,414 million, or $6.41 per share in 2024, compared to $1,434 million, or $6.29 per share, in 2023. Net income for 2024 includes a pension settlement charge for CNA of $265 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interests). Excluding this charge, net income grew 17% year-over-year driven by the following:

  • CNA's net investment income increased due to higher returns from limited partnership and common stock investments, and higher income from fixed income securities as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates. Property and Casualty underwriting income decreased due to higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by strong underlying underwriting results.
  • Boardwalk Pipelines' results improved due to increased transportation revenues from higher re-contracting rates and recently completed growth projects, increased storage and parking and lending revenues, and contribution from the Bayou Ethane acquisition.
  • Corporate & Other's results improved due to higher investment income at the parent company due to higher returns on equity securities.
  • These positives were partially offset by lower net income at Loews Hotels primarily due to higher depreciation and interest expense related to the opening of the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center in the first quarter of 2024 and lower equity income from joint ventures. In addition, Loews Hotels' results for 2023 also included a gain of $36 million related to the acquisition of an additional equity interest in, and the consolidation of, a previously unconsolidated joint venture property.

Share Purchases:

  • On December 31, 2024, there were 214.7 million shares of Loews common stock outstanding.
  • For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, Loews Corporation repurchased 4.2 million and 7.7 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $349 million and $611 million, respectively.
  • Loews Corporation has repurchased an additional 1.9 million shares for $164 million so far in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Depending on market conditions, Loews may from time to time purchase shares of its and its subsidiaries' outstanding common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

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 or losses and gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions. In addition, core income excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income excludes investment gains or losses because they are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of CNA's primary insurance operations. The calculation of core income excludes gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions as they result from decisions regarding CNA's defined benefit pension plans which are unrelated to its primary insurance operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income:

In evaluating the results of Property & Casualty operations, CNA utilizes the loss ratio, the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio, the combined ratio and the underlying combined ratio. These ratios are calculated using GAAP financial results. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The underlying loss ratio excludes the impact of catastrophe losses and development-related items from the loss ratio. Development-related items represent net prior year loss reserve and premium development, and includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance and deductible amounts. The expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders' dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying combined ratio is the sum of the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying loss ratio and the underlying combined ratio are non-GAAP financial measures, and management believes some investors may find these ratios useful to evaluate CNA's underwriting performance since they remove the impact of catastrophe losses which are unpredictable as to timing and amount, and development-related items as they are not indicative of current year underwriting performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA's loss ratio to underlying loss ratio and CNA's combined ratio to underlying combined ratio:
