Chubb Limited reported net income of $3.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease from $4.5 billion in 2019, primarily due to a significant increase in catastrophe losses, including a $1.2 billion after-tax impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenging environment, net premiums written grew 4.8% to $33.8 billion, driven by a 9.5% increase in North America Commercial P&C Insurance and strong performance in Overseas General Insurance. The company's P&C combined ratio deteriorated to 96.1% from 90.6% in the prior year, largely due to higher catastrophe losses and lower favorable prior period development. However, the current accident year loss ratio, excluding catastrophes, improved, indicating underlying underwriting strength.
