Book value was unfavorably impacted by after-tax net realized and unrealized losses of $1.94 billion in Chubb's investment portfolio, principally due to the mark-to-market impact in the public fixed-income portfolio, partially offset by $346 million of foreign currency gains. Book value per share and tangible book value per share excluding AOCI increased 12.1% and 16.5%, from March 31, 2025.

Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb Limited, commented: "We had an excellent quarter and start to the year, which speaks to the strength and resilience of our company in a period of elevated uncertainty. Our globally diversified business, underwriting discipline and strong balance sheet contribute to our returns while creating continued opportunities for growth.

"Strong growth in P&C underwriting income, investment income and life income led to core operating earnings of $2.7 billion, or $6.82 per share, both up more than 80% over the prior year first quarter, which was impacted by the California wildfires. Excluding CATs, core operating income was up 10.7% and EPS was up 13.5%. Tangible book value per share grew 21.5%.

"Our underwriting performance in the quarter was excellent. P&C underwriting income was $1.8 billion, with a combined ratio of 84%. On a current accident year basis excluding CATs, underwriting income grew 9.8%, with a combined ratio of 82.1%. And on the investment side of our business, adjusted net investment income of $1.8 billion was up more than 10%.

"Both property and financial lines insurance market conditions are soft or softening, with portions of the property market softening at a rapid pace. Given inadequate price levels, we moved during the quarter to reduce exposures in our Major Accounts and E&S divisions by non-renewing a substantial percentage of our shared and layered property business that was up for renewal while purchasing additional reinsurance. Given our diversification and balance of opportunities, we produced good growth, with consolidated net premiums up 10.7% to $14 billion, including 21% growth in our global consumer businesses, both P&C and Life. Total P&C net premiums grew 7.2% and Life increased 33.1%. In North America, P&C increased 4.1%, while Overseas General grew 14.4%, or 6.1% in constant dollars. Our published growth in Latin America, Europe and Asia was 17.8%, 15.8% and 12.1%, respectively. Excluding large account property, admitted and E&S, North America grew 7.8%.

"War in the Middle East raises the specter globally of higher inflation and slower economic growth, while adding pressure to certain financial, fiscal and economic conditions already present. Chubb's diversification, market-leading presence and capabilities, and operating discipline provide us with greater resilience. We have many sources of opportunity, and from what I see I remain confident in our ability to continue generating strong growth in operating earnings, and double-digit growth in EPS and tangible book value."

Operating highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

  • North America Commercial P&C Insurance: Net premiums written increased 2.3%, or 7.3% excluding large account property, both admitted and E&S. Middle market and small commercial were up 3.3%, with P&C lines up 5.4% and financial lines down 5.7%, impacted by the increased use of reinsurance. Major accounts retail and specialty were up 1.5%, or 10.9% excluding large account property, which was down 55.0% due to market conditions. The current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses increased 0.5 percentage points, driven by an increase in the underlying loss ratio, primarily due to the reduction in property business.
  • North America Personal P&C Insurance: Net premiums written increased 8.3%. The current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 3.7 percentage points, including a 2.7 percentage point decrease in the loss ratio and a 1.0 percentage point decrease in the expense ratio.
  • North America Agricultural Insurance: The combined ratio decreased 30.0 percentage points, including a 22.2 percentage point decrease from higher favorable prior period development and a 6.5 percentage point decrease from lower catastrophe losses.
  • Overseas General Insurance: The current accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased 0.1 percentage point, reflecting a 0.5 percentage point decrease in the loss ratio, partially offset by a 0.4 percentage point increase in the expense ratio, both due to a shift in the mix of business.
  • Life Insurance: Net premiums written were $2.29 billion, up 33.1%, with International Life of $1.94 billion, up 36.8%, or 15.7% excluding savings-oriented single premium business, and Chubb Benefits up 15.8%. Life Segment income was $316 million, up 8.5%, reflecting growth in International Life of 14.5%, partially offset by non-recurring items that were favorable to the prior year within the North America Chubb Benefits and Life reinsurance businesses.

All comparisons are with the same period last year unless otherwise specifically stated.
