Definitions and Presentation


•	Collectively, CNA Financial Corporation (CNAF) and its subsidiaries are referred to as CNA or the Company.


•	P&C Operations includes Specialty, Commercial and International.


•	Life & Group Non-Core segment primarily includes the results of long term care businesses 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. Intersegment eliminations are also included in this segment.


•	Management uses the net operating income (loss) financial measure to monitor the Company’s operations. Please refer to Note P to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within the December 31, 2014 Form 10-K for further discussion of this measure.


•	Management uses underwriting results to monitor insurance operations. Underwriting results are pretax and are calculated as net earned premiums less total insurance expenses, which includes insurance claims and policyholders' benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and other insurance related expenses.

•

In the evaluation of the results of Specialty, Commercial and International, management uses the loss ratio, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio and the combined 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.


•	Pretax net prior year development and other includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance and deductible amounts.

•

The majority of our limited partnership investments employ hedge fund strategies that generate returns primarily through investing in marketable securities in the 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
