WARREN, New Jersey, July 23, 2009 — The Chubb Corporation [NYSE: CB] today reported that net income in the second quarter of 2009 was $551 million or $1.54 per share, compared to $469 million or $1.27 per share in the second quarter of 2008.
Operating income, which the company defines as net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses, increased to $533 million from $518 million in the second quarter of 2008. Operating income per share increased 6% to $1.49 from $1.40.
Total net written premiums for the second quarter of 2009 were $2.8 billion, a decline of 7% from premiums of $3.0 billion in the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, premiums were down approximately 3% in the second quarter of 2009. Premiums were down 5% in the U.S. and down 12% outside the U.S. (up 3% in local currencies).
The second quarter combined loss and expense ratio was 85.9% in 2009, compared to 88.5% in 2008. Catastrophe losses for the second quarter of 2009 accounted for 1.5 percentage points of the combined ratio. In the second quarter of 2008, catastrophe losses accounted for 5.4 points of the combined ratio. The expense ratio for the second quarter was 30.2% in 2009 and 29.8% in 2008.
Property and casualty investment income after taxes for the second quarter declined 5% to $312 million in 2009 from $327 million in 2008.
During the second quarter, Chubb repurchased 2,310,029 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $90 million. As of June 30, 2009, there were 15,669,371 shares of common stock remaining under the current repurchase authorization.

“Chubb’s excellent results in the second quarter demonstrate our ability to deliver superior performance to our customers and shareholders in a very challenging economic environment,” said John D. Finnegan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Chubb performed very well across the board in underwriting, investments and earnings, and this is reflected in our strong return on equity and in the significant increase in our book value per share. These results were achieved through our focus on underwriting discipline, our conservative investment philosophy and our strong capital position, all of which continue to differentiate Chubb in the marketplace. We also saw a continuation of the positive momentum in commercial and specialty premium rate increases that we have seen in recent quarters.
“In light of Chubb’s earnings in the first half and our outlook for the rest of the year,” said Mr. Finnegan, “we are increasing our 2009 guidance for operating income per share to a range of $5.20 to $5.50. Given our strong capital position and the improved capital market environment, we also intend to accelerate the timing of our share repurchases. We now expect to repurchase by the end of this year all of the 15.7 million shares remaining as of June 30, 2009 under our current share repurchase authorization.”
Mr. Finnegan also said that John J. Degnan, Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, will defer his expected retirement until December 31, 2010 and that the company would announce a decision about filling his responsibilities later next year.
Six-Month Results
For the first six months of 2009, net income was $892 million or $2.49 per share, compared with $1.1 billion or $3.04 per share for the first half of 2008. Operating income for the first half of 2009 totaled $1.0 billion or $2.92 per share, compared with $1.1 billion or $3.05 per share for the first half of 2008.
Total net written premiums for the first six months declined 7% to $5.6 billion. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, premiums were down approximately 3% in the first half of 2009. Premiums declined 5% in the U.S. and declined 12% outside the U.S. (increased 4% in local currencies).
The combined loss and expense ratio for the first six months was 87.0% in 2009, compared to 86.2% in 2008.

During the first six months, Chubb repurchased 4,114,529 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $164 million.
Outlook for 2009
The new 2009 operating income per share guidance of $5.20 to $5.50 replaces the guidance of $4.80 to $5.20 that was provided last January. The updated operating income guidance assumes:
| • | | Net written premiums that are down 5% to 6% for the full year (or down approximately 2% to 3% excluding the effect of foreign currency translation). Net written premiums for the first six months of 2009 were down 7% (or down approximately 3% excluding currency). Our revised guidance assumes a decrease in net written premiums in the second half of 2009 of approximately 4% to 5% (or a decrease of approximately 3% to 4% excluding currency). Our January 2009 guidance assumed a 1% to 4% decline in net written premiums, including a 3-to-4 percentage point negative impact of currency. |
|
| • | | A combined ratio between 88% and 90% for the year, compared to the assumption in the January 2009 guidance of a range of 90% to 92%. The revised guidance is based on combined ratio assumptions of 89% to 91% for Chubb Personal Insurance, 91% to 93% for Chubb Commercial Insurance and 85% to 87% for Chubb Specialty Insurance. |
|
| • | | Catastrophe losses for 2009 of 3 percentage points, compared to the assumption of 3-to-4 points in the January 2009 guidance. The impact of each point of catastrophe losses on operating income per share for the year is approximately $0.21. |
|
| • | | A decline in property and casualty investment income after taxes of 4% to 6% for the year, unchanged from the assumption in the January 2009 guidance. |
|
| • | | Average diluted shares outstanding of 354 million for the year, compared to the assumption of 358 million shares in the January 2009 guidance. |
Guidance and related assumptions are subject to the risks outlined in the company’s forward-looking information safe-harbor statement below.

Definitions of Key Terms
Operating Income: Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income excluding after-tax realized investment gains and losses. Management uses operating income, among other measures, to evaluate its performance because the realization of investment gains and losses in any given period is largely discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends.
Underwriting Income (Loss): Management evaluates underwriting results separately from investment results. The underwriting operations consist of four separate business units: personal insurance, commercial insurance, specialty insurance and reinsurance assumed. Performance of the business units is measured based on statutory underwriting results. Statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Under statutory accounting principles, policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses are recognized immediately, not at the time premiums are earned. Statutory underwriting income (loss) is arrived at by reducing premiums earned by losses and loss expenses incurred and statutory underwriting expenses incurred.
Management uses underwriting results determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, to assess the overall performance of the underwriting operations. To convert statutory underwriting results to a GAAP basis, policy acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Underwriting income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP is defined as premiums earned less losses and loss expenses incurred and GAAP underwriting expenses incurred.
Property and Casualty Investment Income After Income Tax: Management uses property and casualty investment income after income tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate its investment performance because it reflects the impact of any change in the proportion of the investment portfolio invested in tax exempt securities and is therefore more meaningful for analysis purposes than investment income before income tax.
Book Value per Common Share with Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturities at Amortized Cost: Book value per common share represents the portion of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to one share of common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date. Consolidated shareholders’ equity includes, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the after-tax appreciation or depreciation, including unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses, of the Corporation’s available-for-sale fixed maturities, which are carried at fair value. The appreciation or depreciation of available-for-sale fixed maturities is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and therefore could distort the analysis of trends. Management believes that book value per common share with available-for-sale fixed maturities at amortized cost, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an important measure of the underlying equity attributable to one share of common stock.
Combined Loss and Expense Ratio or Combined Ratio: The combined loss and expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the key measure of underwriting profitability. Management uses the combined loss and expense ratio calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles applicable to property and casualty insurance companies to evaluate the performance of the underwriting operations. It is the sum of the ratio of losses and loss expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio) plus the ratio of statutory underwriting expenses to premiums written (expense ratio) after reducing both premium amounts by dividends to policyholders.
Net Written Premiums Growth (Decrease) Excluding the Impact of Currency Fluctuation: Management uses net written premiums growth (decrease) excluding the impact of currency fluctuation, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the trends in net written premiums, exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted.
