CNA Financial Corporation
Definitions and Presentation


Collectively, CNA Financial Corporation (CNAF) and its controlled subsidiaries are referred to as CNA or the Company.
P&C Operations includes CNA Specialty and CNA Commercial.
Life & Group Non-Core segment primarily includes the results of the life and group lines of business that are in run-off.
Corporate & Other Non-Core segment primarily includes certain corporate expenses including interest on corporate debt and the results of certain property and casualty business in run-off, including CNA Re and asbestos and environmental pollution (A&EP). Intersegment eliminations are also included in this segment.
Management utilizes the net operating income financial measure to monitor the Company’s operations. Please refer to Note N to the Consolidated Financial Statements within the 2011 Form 10-K for further discussion of this measure.
In evaluating the results of CNA Specialty and CNA Commercial, management utilizes the combined ratio, the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders' dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss, expense and dividend ratios. The statutory expense ratio reported on page 14 is the percentage of acquisition and underwriting expenses to net written premiums in accordance with statutory accounting practices.
Limited partnerships are a relatively small portion of CNA's overall investment portfolio. The majority of our limited partnership investments employ hedge fund strategies that generate returns through investing in securities that are marketable while engaging in various management techniques primarily in public fixed income and equity markets. While the Company generally does not invest in highly leveraged partnerships, there are risks which may result in losses due to short-selling, derivatives or other speculative investment practices. The use of leverage increases volatility generated by the underlying investment strategies.
Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.
N/M = Not Meaningful
FY = Full Year

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts
The Company has adjusted its previously reported financial information to reflect a retrospective change in accounting guidance for deferred acquisition costs. Financial information included herein gives effect to this adjustment. Total CNA stockholders' equity at December 31, 2011 was reduced by $69 million and Book value per common share decreased $0.26. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the impacts of adopting the new accounting standard were a $0.01 decrease in earnings per share, and a 0.1% decrease in Net operating income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to CNA return on equity.

(1) The ratings presented are based on a ratings methodology that takes into account ratings from two major providers, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Services, Inc., in that order of preference. If a security is not rated by these providers, an internal rating is formulated. For securities with credit support from third party guarantees, the rating reflects the greater of the underlying rating of the issuer or the insured rating.

The reserve amounts above are net of $1,354 million of ceded reserves and exclude $106 million of claim and claim adjustment expenses and $668 million of future policy benefits relating to Shadow Adjustments. To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities supporting long term care products and payout annuity contracts would result in a premium deficiency if those gains were realized, a related decrease in Deferred acquisition costs and/or increase in Insurance reserves are recorded, net of tax, as a reduction of net unrealized gains through Other comprehensive income (Shadow Adjustments).
