Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed November 3, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Loews Corporation reported net income attributable to Loews Corporation of $504 milliona, or $2.43 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $401 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, in the comparable 2024 period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $1,265 millionb, or $6.03 per diluted share, versus $1,227 million, or $5.54 per share, a year earlier. The company attributed the quarterly increase primarily to higher results at CNA Financial and Boardwalk Pipelines and improved results at Loews Hotels & Co, partly offset by lower investment income at the parent company. At CNA, lower catastrophe losses ($41 million versus $143 million in the prior-year quarter) and improved underlying underwriting results in its commercial property and casualty operations drove the improvement.
Total revenues were $4.67 billionc for the quarter and $13.72 billion for the nine months, and total assets were $85.94 billion at September 30, 2025. Total shareholders' equity rose to $18.29 billion from $17.07 billion at December 31, 2024, supported by earnings and other comprehensive income, partly offset by $690 million of treasury stock purchases in the nine months. Short-term debt increased to $1.01 billion from $5 million, while long-term debt decreased to $8.44 billion from $8.94 billion.
Parent Company cash and investments, net of receivables and payables, totaled $3.6 billiond. During the nine months, the parent received $1.1 billion in cash dividends and distributions from subsidiaries, including a $497 million special dividend from CNA. Boardwalk Pipelines disclosed growth projects under executed precedent agreements expected to add an aggregate 4.2 Bcf/d of capacity at a cost of approximately $3.0 billion, scheduled through 2029, subject to regulatory approvals.
In October 2025, Boardwalk executed an additional precedent agreement for the Texas Gateway Project, which the filing says will add an anticipated $3.8 billion of revenues to its outstanding performance obligations. The filing also notes a pending antitrust class action against Loews Hotels & Co and a longstanding Boardwalk Pipelines litigation matter, with the company stating that it does not believe pending litigation will materially affect results of operations or equity.
