FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chubb Reports Third Quarter Net Income per Share of $1.04;
Operating Income per Share Is $0.88;
Combined Ratio Is 102.6% including Catastrophe Impact of 14.4 Points
 
2011 Operating Income per Share Guidance Is Revised
To Range of $5.10 to $5.20
     WARREN, New Jersey, October 20, 2011 — The Chubb Corporation [NYSE: CB] today reported that net income in the third quarter of 2011 was $298 million compared to $572 million in the third quarter of 2010. Net income per share declined to $1.04 from $1.80.
     Operating income, which the company defines as net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses, was $252 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $537 million in the third quarter of 2010. Operating income per share declined to $0.88 from $1.69.
     The impact of catastrophes in the third quarter of 2011 was $420 million before tax, largely from Hurricane Irene as well as other storms in the U.S. In the third quarter of 2010, the impact of catastrophes was $58 million before tax. The impact of catastrophes on third quarter net income and operating income per share was $0.95 in 2011 and $0.12 in 2010.
     The third quarter combined loss and expense ratio was 102.6% in 2011 compared to 86.2% in 2010. The impact of catastrophes accounted for 14.4 percentage points of the combined ratio in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 2.1 percentage points in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the third quarter combined ratio was 88.2% in 2011 and 84.1% in 2010.
     The expense ratio for the third quarter was 32.4% in 2011 and 31.7% in 2010.

     Net written premiums increased 5% in the third quarter of 2011 to $2.9 billion. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, premiums were up approximately 4%. Premiums increased 2% in the U.S. and 17% outside the U.S. (10% in local currencies).
     Property and casualty investment income after taxes for the third quarter increased 1% to $321 million in 2011 from $317 million in 2010.
     Net income for the third quarter of 2011 reflected net realized investment gains of $71 million before tax ($0.16 per share after-tax), compared to $54 million before tax ($0.11 per share after-tax) in the third quarter of 2010.
     During the third quarter, Chubb repurchased 8.0 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $480 million (an average of $59.97 per share). As of September 30, 2011, there were 6.9 million shares of common stock remaining under the current repurchase authorization.
     Average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter were 287.8 million in 2011 and 317.3 million in 2010.
     “For the third consecutive quarter, results for Chubb and the industry were adversely affected by an unusually high level of catastrophe losses,” said John D. Finnegan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite these significant catastrophe losses, Chubb still produced net income for the quarter of $298 million, driven by a solid combined ratio of 88.2% excluding catastrophes, which reflects the strong underlying performance of all our business units in a challenging environment.
     “With regard to the insurance market, we were pleased to see continued incremental rate improvement in the third quarter, especially in our U.S. standard commercial book, where renewal rates were up 4% on average year over year,” said Mr. Finnegan. “However, rates will need to continue to increase to offset the negative impact on industry earnings attributable to the prolonged soft market, record level of catastrophe losses and significantly lower yields currently available on investments.”
Nine-Month Results
     For the first nine months of 2011, net income was $1.2 billion or $4.16 per share, compared with $1.6 billion or $4.76 per share for the first nine months of 2010. Operating income for the first nine months of 2011 totaled $1.0 billion or $3.50 per share, compared with $1.4 billion or $4.22 per share for the first nine months of 2010.

     The impact of catastrophes in the first nine months of 2011 was $1.0 billion before tax. In the first nine months of 2010, the impact of catastrophes was $595 million before tax. The impact of catastrophes on net income and operating income per share for the first nine months was $2.25 in 2011 and $1.19 in 2010.
     The combined ratio for the first nine months was 97.1% in 2011 compared to 90.1% in 2010. The impact of catastrophes in the first nine months accounted for 11.7 percentage points of the combined ratio in 2011 and 7.1 points in 2010. Excluding the impact of catastrophes, the combined ratio in the first nine months was 85.4% in 2011 and 83.0% in 2010.
     The expense ratio for the first nine months was 31.8% in 2011 and 31.3% in 2010.
     Net written premiums increased 5% in the first nine months of 2011 to $8.8 billion. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, premiums were up approximately 4% in the first nine months of 2011. Premiums increased 2% in the U.S. and 13% outside the U.S. (9% in local currencies).
     Property and casualty investment income after taxes for the first nine months increased 1% to $949 million in 2011 from $941 million in 2010.
     Net income for the first nine months of 2011 reflected net realized investment gains of $300 million before tax ($0.66 per share after-tax). Net income for the first nine months of 2010 reflected net realized investment gains of $271 million before tax ($0.54 per share after-tax).
     Average diluted shares outstanding for the first nine months were 294.4 million in 2011 and 326.3 million in 2010.
     During the first nine months of 2011, Chubb repurchased 21.6 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $1.3 billion (an average of $61.24 per share).
Outlook for 2011
     “Based on the high level of catastrophe losses in the third quarter and our outlook for the fourth quarter,” said Mr. Finnegan, “we are revising our 2011 full-year operating income per share guidance to a range of $5.10 to $5.20 from the previous guidance range of $5.55 to $5.85. This revised guidance is based on operating income per share of $3.50 in the first nine months and a range of $1.60 to $1.70 for the fourth quarter,” said Mr. Finnegan.


 

4

     The revised guidance for 2011 operating income per share assumes an impact from catastrophes of 2 percentage points in the fourth quarter, resulting in an assumed impact of catastrophes for the year of 9.3 points, compared to the assumption of 7.5 points in the previous guidance. The revised guidance assumes 291 million average diluted shares outstanding for the year.
     The impact of each percentage point of catastrophe losses on 2011 full-year operating income per share is approximately $0.26.
     Guidance and related assumptions are subject to the risks outlined in the company’s forward-looking information safe-harbor statements (see below).

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 (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of 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.
Net Written Premiums Growth (Decrease) Excluding the Impact of Currency Fluctuation: Management uses net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the trends in net written premiums, exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted. In net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation, the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rates is excluded as these rates may fluctuate significantly and could distort the analysis of trends. Net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation is determined by using the same exchange rate to translate each foreign currency denominated net written premium amount in both periods.

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 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 (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of 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.

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.
Return on Equity and Operating Return on Equity
Return on equity is the ratio of annualized net income divided by average shareholders’ equity. Average shareholders’ equity is the average of the beginning and all quarter-end balances within the period.
Operating return on equity, a non-GAAP measure, is the ratio of annualized operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding the after-tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities and equity securities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of available-for-sale fixed maturities and equity securities is subject to fluctuation and could distort the analysis of trends. Average shareholders’ equity excluding the after-tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments is the average of the beginning and all quarter-end balances within the period. Management uses operating return on equity, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the Corporation.
