     WARREN, New Jersey, January 30, 2007 — The Chubb Corporation [NYSE: CB] today reported that net income in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $654 million or $1.56 per share, compared to $615 million or $1.46 per share in the fourth quarter
of 2005.
     Operating income, which the company defines as net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses, increased to $614 million from $493 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating income per share increased 25% to a record $1.46 from $1.17.
     Net written premiums for the fourth quarter declined 4% to $3.0 billion. Premiums for the insurance business were flat; they declined 2% in the U.S. and grew 6% outside the U.S. (1% in local currencies). Premiums for the reinsurance assumed business declined 67%, reflecting the impact of the Chubb Re-Harbor Point transaction completed in December 2005.
     The fourth quarter combined loss and expense ratio improved to 83.1% in 2006 from 89.3% in 2005. The impact of catastrophes in the fourth quarter of 2006 accounted for 0.9 percentage points of the combined ratio, compared to 4.0 points in the fourth quarter of 2005. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the combined ratio improved 3.1 percentage points to 82.2% from 85.3%. The expense ratio for the fourth quarter was 29.9% in 2006 and 27.5% in 2005.
     Property and casualty investment income after taxes for the fourth quarter increased 10% to $304 million in 2006 from $276 million in 2005.

     During the fourth quarter of 2006, Chubb repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $82 million.
     “Our continuing focus on underwriting discipline enabled Chubb to achieve the best quarter in our history,” said John D. Finnegan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The fourth quarter capped an outstanding year, and thanks to significant contributions from all three business units throughout 2006, Chubb attained its fourth consecutive year of record income.”
Full Year Results
     For the year ended December 31, 2006, net income was $2.5 billion or $5.98 per share, compared to $1.8 billion or $4.47 per share for the year ended December 31, 2005. Operating income for 2006 totaled $2.4 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in 2005. Operating income per share increased 45% to a record $5.60 in 2006 from $3.87 in 2005.
     Net written premiums in 2006 declined 3% to $12.0 billion. Premiums for the insurance business grew 2%: 1% in the U.S. and 4% outside the U.S. (3% in local currencies). Premiums for the reinsurance assumed business declined 57%.
     The combined ratio in 2006 was 84.2%, compared to 92.3% in 2005. The impact of catastrophes accounted for 1.4 percentage points of the combined ratio in 2006 and 5.6 points in 2005. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the combined ratio improved 3.9 percentage points to 82.8% from 86.7%. The expense ratio for the year was 29.0% in 2006 and 28.0% in 2005.
     Property and casualty investment income after taxes increased 10% to $1.2 billion in 2006 from $1.1 billion in 2005.

     The Homeowners line grew 8%, and the combined ratio was 75.7%. The Personal Automobile line had flat net written premiums and a combined ratio of 92.6%. Other Personal lines grew 12% and had a combined ratio of 107.7%.

     Professional Liability (PL) net written premiums declined 8% due largely to reinsurance adjustments which increased net written premiums in the year-ago fourth quarter.

     Surety had premium growth of 23% and a combined ratio of 44.2%.
2007 Operating Income Guidance
     “Based on our current outlook,” said Mr. Finnegan, “we believe we can achieve 2007 operating income per share in the range of $5.00 to $5.40.” This guidance assumes a 4 percentage point impact of catastrophe losses on the 2007 combined ratio. For comparison purposes, the impact of catastrophe losses on the 2006 combined ratio was 1.4 points. The impact of each percentage point of catastrophe losses on annual operating income per share is approximately $0.19.
     “The $0.40 reduction in operating income per share that is implied in the midpoint of our guidance for 2007 ($5.20 guidance midpoint for 2007 vs. $5.60 actual in 2006) is more than accounted for by our assumption of higher catastrophe losses in 2007,” said Mr. Finnegan. “Specifically, the $0.76 per share impact of our 4 point catastrophe assumption for 2007 is $0.52 more than the actual $0.24 per share impact of catastrophe losses in 2006.”
     Mr. Finnegan said the operating income guidance for 2007 also assumes:
    Flat net written premiums for the insurance business, based on a low-to-mid-single-digit increase for CPI, flat premiums for CCI and a modest decline for CSI.
 
    A combined ratio between 87% and 89% for the year, based on a combined ratio of 86% to 89% for CPI, 88% to 91% for CCI and 85% to 88% for CSI.
 
    Growth of property and casualty investment income after taxes of 7% to 9%.

Definitions of Key Terms
Operating Income
Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses. Management uses operating income, among other measures, to evaluate its performance because the realization of investment gains and losses in any given period is largely discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends.
Underwriting Income (Loss)
Management evaluates underwriting results separately from investment results. The underwriting operations consist of four separate business units: personal insurance, commercial insurance, specialty insurance and reinsurance assumed. Performance of the business units is measured based on statutory underwriting results. Statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Under statutory accounting principles, policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses are recognized immediately, not at the time premiums are earned. Statutory underwriting income (loss) is arrived at by reducing premiums earned by losses and loss expenses incurred and statutory underwriting expenses incurred.
Management uses underwriting results determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the underwriting operations. To convert statutory underwriting results to a GAAP basis, policy acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Underwriting income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP is defined as premiums earned less losses and loss expenses incurred and GAAP underwriting expenses incurred.
Property and Casualty Investment Income After Income Tax
Management uses property and casualty investment income after income tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its investment performance because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of the investment portfolio invested in tax-exempt securities and is therefore more meaningful for analysis purposes than investment income before income tax.
Book Value per Common Share with Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturities at Amortized Cost
Book value per common share represents the portion of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to one share of common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income, the after-tax appreciation or depreciation on the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at market value. The appreciation or depreciation on available-for-sale fixed maturities is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and therefore could distort the analysis of trends. Management believes that book value per common share with available-for-sale fixed maturities at amortized cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important measure of the underlying equity attributable to one share of common stock.
Combined Loss and Expense Ratio or Combined Ratio
The combined loss and expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the key measure of underwriting profitability. Management uses the combined loss and expense ratio calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies to evaluate the performance of the underwriting operations. It is the sum of the ratio of losses and loss expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of statutory underwriting expenses to premiums written (expense ratio) after reducing both premium amounts by dividends to policyholders.

THE CHUBB CORPORATION
Definitions of Key Terms
Underwriting Income (Loss)
Management evaluates underwriting results separately from investment results. The underwriting operations consist of four separate business units: personal insurance, commercial insurance, specialty insurance and reinsurance assumed. Performance of the business units is measured based on statutory underwriting results. Statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Under statutory accounting principles, policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses are recognized immediately, not at the time premiums are earned. Statutory underwriting income (loss) is arrived at by reducing premiums earned by losses and loss expenses incurred and statutory underwriting expenses incurred.
Management uses underwriting results determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the underwriting operations. To convert statutory underwriting results to a GAAP basis, policy acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Underwriting income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP is defined as premiums earned less losses and loss expenses incurred and GAAP underwriting expenses incurred.
Property and Casualty Investment Income After Income Tax
Management uses property and casualty investment income after income tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its investment performance because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of the investment portfolio invested in tax-exempt securities and is therefore more meaningful for analysis purposes than investment income before income taxes.

Book value per common share represents the portion of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to one share of common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income, the after-tax appreciation or depreciation on the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at market value. The appreciation or depreciation on available-for-sale fixed maturities is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and therefore could distort the analysis of trends. Management believes that book value per common share with available-for-sale fixed maturities at amortized cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important measure of the underlying equity attributable to one share of common stock.
Combined Ratio or Combined Loss and Expense Ratio
The combined loss and expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the key measure of underwriting profitability. Management uses the combined loss and expense ratio calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies to evaluate the performance of the underwriting operations. It is the sum of the ratio of losses and loss expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of statutory underwriting expenses to premiums written (expense ratio) after reducing both premium amounts by dividends to policyholders.
