Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed August 4, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Loews Corporation reported net income attributable to Loews Corporation of $391 milliona, or $1.87 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $369 million, or $1.67 per share, in the prior-year period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $761 millionb, or $3.61 per share, versus $826 million, or $3.72 per share, a year earlier. Total revenues were $9.05 billion for the six months, up from $8.50 billion. The decline in six-month earnings was driven primarily by CNA, where unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development, including a $106 million after-tax charge tied to legacy mass tort abuse reserves, and higher investment losses offset higher net investment income and improved underlying underwriting results.
Boardwalk Pipelines was the main contributor to growth, with six-month net income rising to $240 millionc from $191 million on re-contracting at higher rates and recently completed growth projects. At June 30, 2025, total assets were $84.67 billion and total shareholders' equity was $17.51 billion, compared with $81.94 billion and $17.07 billion at December 31, 2024. Long-term debt declined to $7.94 billion from $8.94 billion, while short-term debt rose to $1.01 billion from $5 million.
During the six months, the company repurchased 7.4 million shares of its common stock for $633 milliond on the statement of equity, and it reported that shares outstanding were 207,426,395 as of August 1, 2025. Parent Company cash and investments, net of receivables and payables, totaled $3.4 billion at June 30, 2025. The filing also notes that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted on July 4, 2025, and management does not expect it to have a material impact on results or financial condition.
Boardwalk Pipelines has growth projects with executed precedent or long-term firm transportation agreements expected to add an aggregate 2.6 Bcf/d of capacity at an aggregate cost of approximately $1.7 billion, scheduled for completion through 2029, subject to regulatory approvals. The filing also discloses a 2010 loss portfolio transfer with National Indemnity Company covering CNA's legacy asbestos and environmental pollution liabilities, and a pending Boardwalk Pipelines Delaware litigation matter for which a hearing on the appeal occurred in June 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Loews' year-to-date earnings decline despite growth at Boardwalk Pipelines?
