Loews reported a higher profit in its latest quarter despite a weaker performance in its insurance business.
The New York-based operator of insurance, energy and hotel businesses on Monday said it logged net income of $391 million, or $1.87 a share, for the second quarter, up from $369 million, or $1.67 a share, in the prior-year period.
Revenue rose to $4.56 billion from $4.27 billion.
Earnings from the company's CNA Financial insurance business, its largest by revenue, edged down to $274 million from $291 million a year earlier. Loews said unfavorable net prior-year loss-reserve development, related to legacy mass-tort abuse reserves and higher investment losses, weighed on CNA's net income.
The company said its Boardwalk Pipelines saw higher net income from a year earlier due to higher recontracting rates and recently completed growth projects.
The company's hotels business meanwhile recorded weaker results as it brought in less equity income from joint ventures.
