CNA’s cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The cash provided by operating activities was driven by an increase in premiums collected and higher cash from investment earnings, offset by an increase in net claim payments and higher operating expenses. 

CNA paid cash dividends of $3.38 per share on its common stock, including a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. On October 31, 2025, CNA’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.46 per share, payable December 4, 2025 to shareholders of record on November 17, 2025. CNA’s declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend on many factors, including CNA’s earnings, financial condition, business needs and regulatory constraints. CNA believes that its present cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are sufficient to fund its current and expected working capital and debt obligation needs and does not expect this to change in the near term.

Dividends to CNA from Continental Casualty Company (“CCC”), a subsidiary of CNA, are subject to the insurance holding company laws of the State of Illinois, the domiciliary state of CCC. Under these laws, ordinary dividends, or dividends that do not require prior approval by the Illinois Department of Insurance, are determined based on the greater of the prior year’s statutory net income or 10% of statutory surplus as of the end of the prior year, as well as the timing and amount of dividends paid in the preceding 12 months. Additionally, ordinary dividends may only be paid from earned surplus, which is calculated by removing unrealized gains from unassigned surplus. As of September 30, 2025, CCC was in a positive earned surplus position. CCC paid dividends of $755 million and $635 million
