Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed August 4, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Loews Corporation reported net income of $391 milliona, or $1.87 per share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $369 million, or $1.67 per share, in the second quarter of 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $761 millionb, or $3.61 per share, versus $826 million, or $3.72 per share, a year earlier. Results were mixed across segments: Boardwalk Pipelines drove growth with net income rising to $88 million from $70 million and EBITDA rising to $274 million from $240 million, while CNA Financial's contribution fell to $274 million from $291 million due to an $81 million after-tax charge tied to legacy mass tort abuse reserves and higher investment losses. Loews Hotels' net income declined to $28 million from $35 million, mainly from expenses at three new Universal Orlando hotels.

Book value per share rose to $84.42c at June 30, 2025, from $79.49 at December 31, 2024, and book value per share excluding AOCI rose to $91.66 from $88.18. The parent company held $3.4 billion of cash and investments and $1.8 billion of debt at June 30, 2025. Loews repurchased 2.9 million shares for $251 million during the quarter, and per the earnings remarks, about 7.5 million shares for $636 million since the end of 2024.

CEO Ben Tisch described the quarter as decent and pointed to Boardwalk's reach of final investment decisions on growth projects totaling $1.7 billiond of capital expenditures. Loews Hotels management targets Adjusted EBITDA of $400 million to $450 million over the next several years. The results and remarks are furnished under Item 2.02 and are not deemed filed for Section 18 purposes.

03—Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What drove the change in Loews' second-quarter 2025 net income?

    Net income attributable to Loews rose to $391 million from $369 million, led by Boardwalk Pipelines and higher parent company investment income of $40 million versus $7 million. These gains were partly offset by lower CNA results, which were hit by mass tort reserve development and higher investment losses, and by lower Loews Hotels net income.

  2. What caused the mass tort charge at CNA?

    CNA recorded an $81 million after-tax charge at the Loews level, net of noncontrolling interest, tied to unfavorable development from its annual review of legacy mass tort reserves. It also reflects the anticipated settlement of abuse claims related to the Diocese of Rochester.

  3. What growth plans did Boardwalk outline?

    CEO Ben Tisch said Boardwalk reached final investment decisions on several growth projects totaling $1.7 billion of capital expenditures to be spent over coming years. The projects are modeled to have double-digit return on assets and are predominantly backed by investment-grade utility customers with average contract lengths of 15-plus years. Boardwalk also added $400 million to its revenue backlog in the quarter, bringing it to $14.7 billion.

  4. What are Loews Hotels' expectations for future earnings?

    Loews Hotels management expects Adjusted EBITDA to grow to between $400 million and $450 million over the next several years, nearly double pre-COVID levels. Recently opened properties in Arlington and Orlando have yet to fully ramp up operations.

  5. How much has Loews returned to shareholders through buybacks?

    Loews repurchased 2.9 million shares for $251 million in the second quarter of 2025 and an additional 0.1 million shares for $9 million between July 1 and August 1, 2025. Shares outstanding were 207.5 million at June 30, 2025, down from 214.7 million at December 31, 2024.
