NEWS RELEASE

LOEWS CORPORATION REPORTS NET INCOME OF $337 MILLION

FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2026

New York, NY, May 4, 2026: Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) today released its first quarter 2026 financial results.

First Quarter 2026 highlights:

Loews Corporation reported net income of $337 million, or $1.63 per share, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $370 million, or $1.74 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. The following are key highlights of our first quarter results:

•CNA Financial Corporation’s (NYSE: CNA) net income attributable to Loews Corporation decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower underlying underwriting results and unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development, partially offset by higher net investment income.

•Boardwalk Pipelines’ net income increased year-over-year primarily due to higher contracting rates and utilization-based revenues on gas transportation, as well as higher rates on storage, parking and lending.

•Loews Hotels’ net income increased year-over-year primarily due to higher equity income from joint ventures, driven mainly by the Universal Orlando Resort joint ventures.

•Corporate segment results decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio and higher interest expense.

•Book value per share increased to $90.90 as of March 31, 2026, from $90.71 as of December 31, 2025.

•Book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased to $97.20 as of March 31, 2026, from $95.89 as of December 31, 2025.

•On March 31, 2026, the parent company had $4.5 billion of cash and investments and $1.8 billion of debt.

•Loews Corporation repurchased 0.3 million shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2026 for a total cost of $31 million.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025

CNA:

•Net income attributable to Loews Corporation was $194 million compared to $252 million.

•Core income decreased to $225 million compared to $281 million, driven by lower underlying underwriting results and unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development, partially offset by higher net investment income.

•Net earned premiums grew by 3% and net written premiums grew by 1%.

•Property and Casualty’s combined ratio increased by 3.8 points to 102.2% compared to 98.4% largely due to a higher underlying loss ratio and unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development. Property and Casualty’s underlying combined ratio increased to 94.5% from 92.1%.

•Property and Casualty’s underlying loss ratio increased by 2.6 points, mainly driven by higher loss cost trends and lower than expected rate in certain lines in recent quarters.

•Property and Casualty’s unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development increased from $61 million to $100 million mainly driven by professional errors & omissions and excess casualty in recent accident years.

•Net investment income increased due to higher income from fixed income securities, as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates, partially offset by lower common stock returns.

Boardwalk:

•Net income increased to $159 million compared to $152 million.

•EBITDA increased to $360 million compared to $346 million.

•Net income and EBITDA improved due to higher contracting rates and utilization-based revenues on gas transportation as well as higher rates on storage, parking and lending, partially offset by lower product sales and higher operating expenses.

Loews Hotels:

•Net income increased to $26 million compared to less than $1 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 53% to $124 million compared to $81 million.

•Net income and adjusted EBITDA improved primarily due to higher equity income from joint ventures driven by growth in the overall average daily rate and an increase in both the number of available and the number of occupied room nights at the Universal Orlando Resort, including the addition of the three new hotels that opened in 2025.

Corporate:

•Net loss of $42 million compared to a net loss of $34 million.

•Results decreased primarily due to lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio and higher interest expense related to recent debt refinancing.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures:

CNA Financial Corporation

Core income is calculated by excluding from CNA’s net income attributable to Loews Corporation the after-tax effects of investment gains or losses and gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions. In addition, core income excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income excludes investment gains or losses because they are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of CNA’s primary insurance operations. The calculation of core income excludes gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions as they result from decisions regarding CNA’s defined benefit pension plans which are unrelated to its primary insurance operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income:

CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation $ 194 $ 252

Investment losses 14 7

Noncontrolling interests 17 22

Core income $ 225 $ 281

In evaluating the results of Property & Casualty operations, CNA utilizes the loss ratio, the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio, the combined ratio and the underlying combined ratio. These ratios are calculated using GAAP financial results. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The underlying loss ratio excludes the impact of catastrophe-related reinstatement premiums, catastrophe losses and development-related items from the loss ratio. Development-related items represent net prior year loss reserve and premium development, and includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. 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 ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying combined ratio is the sum of the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying loss ratio and the underlying combined ratio are deemed to be non-GAAP financial measures, and management believes some investors may find these ratios useful to evaluate CNA’s underwriting performance since they remove the impact of catastrophe losses which are unpredictable as to timing and amount, and development-related items as they are not indicative of current year underwriting performance.

Exhibit 99.2

Loews Corporation First Quarter 2026 Earnings Remarks

Ben Tisch, CEO:

Loews reported net income of $337 million in the first quarter compared to $370 million a year ago. It was a tale of two cities type of quarter, with Boardwalk and Loews Hotels posting tremendous results, while CNA took a step back following a period of strong performance.

At CNA, there were two notable components to the quarter: a $106 million reserve charge and a 2.6-point increase in the underlying loss ratio. We view these as two sides of the same coin.

In several casualty lines, more recent accident years developed adversely, which led us to reassess our prior estimates and strengthen reserves. At the same time, that experience informed a more conservative view of the current accident year, resulting in higher loss picks. Of the 2.6-point increase in the underlying loss ratio, a portion reflects CNA’s reassessment of prior year loss picks, with the remainder driven by the realization that rate in certain casualty classes is no longer outpacing underlying loss cost trends.

While we aim to be conservative in our initial estimates, in this instance our assumptions—particularly around loss cost inflation and claim frequency—proved not conservative enough. In response, we acted decisively to strengthen reserves and reset our expectations for the current accident year.

We believe these actions position us appropriately to contain the issue going forward. Given the more conservative loss assumptions embedded in the business today, along with moderating rate trends, we would not expect growth to reaccelerate meaningfully in the near term as we remain focused on maintaining underwriting discipline and protecting the balance sheet.

At Boardwalk, underlying fundamentals remain very strong. The business delivered another quarter of growth, benefiting from higher re-contracting rates, increased utilization across the system, and robust demand for natural gas transportation and storage. Just last week, Boardwalk completed the acquisition of Spire Marketing for $215 million, now operating as Continuum, a transaction that was self-funded and enhances the company’s commercial

Page 1 of 9

capabilities. We view this as a natural extension of Boardwalk’s platform and another example of its ability to deploy capital in a disciplined, value-accretive manner.

At Loews Hotels, the quarter was exceptional. Adjusted EBITDA increased more than 50% year over year, driven by strong performance across our Orlando portfolio, including contributions from the three new hotels adjacent to Epic Universe, as well as higher occupancy and average room rates across the campus. We are now seeing the earnings power of our recent investments come through in a meaningful way. While there is still ramp ahead, the trajectory is clear, and we are very optimistic about what lies ahead.

Lastly, I want to touch on capital allocation. As you can see, our cash balance has grown over the past year ($4.5 billion), and share repurchase activity has been relatively muted, particularly in the most recent quarter.

There are a few factors driving that. First, while we continue to believe the stock trades at a discount to intrinsic value, it has appreciated meaningfully over the past two years. All else equal, I’m more comfortable deploying capital at lower prices than higher ones.

Second, our capex backlog at Boardwalk has grown to approximately $3.2 billion. While the business should be able to largely self-fund this investment, it is prudent for us to maintain a larger-than-normal cash balance at the parent as we enter a period of elevated capital spending. As I’ve mentioned previously, we expect that backlog to grow before it begins to decline.

Third, I remain mindful of the cyclical nature of our businesses. We’ve had a strong run, but cycles do turn—as we were reminded this quarter at CNA—and I would prefer to see how conditions evolve, particularly in our insurance and hotel segments, before becoming more aggressive.

Finally, the Boardwalk litigation remains an outstanding risk. While I am confident in our position, recent experience has reinforced the importance of maintaining a margin of safety, particularly given the potential magnitude of the exposure.

None of this changes my core view that Loews continues to trade at a meaningful discount to intrinsic value, nor my view that over time we will continue to shrink the share count

Page 2 of 9

meaningfully, but with all these balls in the air, some incremental cash certainly won’t burn a hole in my pocket.

Jane Wang, CFO:

For the first quarter of 2026, Loews reported net income of $337 million or $1.63 per share, compared with $370 million or $1.74 per share in the prior-year quarter. The 9% year-over-year decline in net income was driven by lower contributions from CNA and the parent company, partially offset by stronger earnings from Boardwalk Pipelines and Loews Hotels.

Book value per share excluding AOCI rose from $95.89 at year-end 2025 to $97.20 at the end of the first quarter of 2026. Including AOCI, book value per share grew more modestly from $90.71 to $90.90, as higher interest rates widened unrealized losses in CNA’s fixed income portfolio.

CNA contributed net income of $194 million to Loews in the first quarter of 2026 compared with $252 million in the first quarter of 2025. The 23% year-over-year decline was driven by lower P&C underwriting income as a result of a higher underlying loss ratio and unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development, partially offset by higher net investment income.

CNA’s combined ratio increased by 3.8 points to 102.2% compared with 98.4% in the first quarter of 2025. The higher underlying loss ratio accounted for 2.6 points of that increase, driven by aggregate loss cost trends exceeding rate in recent quarters. The higher loss picks are primarily related to certain longer-tail lines, including excess casualty and workers’ compensation. CNA’s management is also taking an increased level of conservatism in response to industry dynamics. Unfavorable net prior-year development added 4.1 points to the combined ratio, compared with 2.5 points in the prior-year quarter. The prior year loss development in the current quarter was driven by excess casualty and affinity professional errors & omissions businesses in recent accident years.

Growth in net written premiums in the quarter slowed to 1%, which reflects rate increases of 2%, exposure growth of 1%, and retention of 83%. Management continues to exercise underwriting discipline as the insurance industry continues to face a softer rate environment.

Page 3 of 9

CNA’s net investment income was higher year-over-year as fixed income returns more than offset declines in common stock returns. Fixed income benefited from a $1.1 billion increase in the invested asset base, along with an approximately 10 basis-point increase in pre-tax yields to 4.9%. Investment losses were $7 million higher year-over-year due to impairment losses and mark-to-market losses on non-redeemable preferred stock.

Please refer to CNA’s Investor Relations website for more details on its results.

Boardwalk Pipelines continues to benefit from strong natural gas demand. EBITDA increased 4% to $360 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared with $346 million in the first quarter of 2025. Boardwalk contributed net income of $159 million in the first quarter of 2026, a 5% increase over $152 million in the prior-year quarter. The growth was driven by higher contracting rates and utilization on natural gas pipelines as well as higher rates on storage and park and loan services. This was partially offset by lower product sales and higher operating expenses.

As Ben mentioned in his remarks, Boardwalk signed an agreement to acquire Spire Marketing for $215 million during the first quarter. This transaction closed last Thursday, April 30th, and was self-financed by Boardwalk from cash on hand.

In our hospitality business, Loews Hotels reported adjusted EBITDA of $124 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 53% compared to $81 million in the first quarter of 2025. On a net income basis, Loews Hotels contributed $26 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with break-even results in the prior-year quarter. Overall occupancy increased 7 points year over year to 81% in the first quarter of 2026. This significant growth was primarily driven by the performance of the Orlando joint venture properties. In addition to the three new properties in Orlando which were not open for the full first quarter last year, the company’s existing Orlando hotels benefited from higher average daily rates and occupancy.

Finally, at the parent company, Loews recorded an investment loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with break-even results in the prior-year quarter. Results in both periods reflected the impact of weak equity market performance. The increase in corporate expenses was driven by the refinancing of maturing bonds during the first quarter.

Page 4 of 9

From a cash flow perspective, Loews received $616 million in dividends from CNA and $75 million of distributions from Boardwalk in the first quarter of 2026. Since the end of 2025, we repurchased almost 300,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $31 million. Loews ended 2026’s first quarter with $4.5 billion in cash and investments and $1.8 billion of holding company debt.
