CNA’s net income attributable to Loews improved year-over-year due to higher net investment income partially offset by higher catastrophe losses.

Boardwalk Pipelines segment's revenues rose to $483 million from $363 million in the year-ago quarter, and net income rose to $77 million from $49 million the prior year.

Boardwalk Pipelines' results improved year-over-year due to higher re-contracting rates and newly completed growth projects.

Loews Hotels’ revenues increased to $226 million from $196 million a year ago, and net income stood at $(8) million vs. $17 million a year ago. The result reflects an impairment charge recorded by a joint venture property.

As of September 30, 2024, the company had $3.3 billion in cash and investments and $1.8 billion in debt.

Loews repurchased 0.8 million shares for $64 million in the quarter and an additional 1.2 million shares for $92 million so far in the fourth quarter.

“Loews had another good quarter. Boardwalk continues to benefit from favorable industry tailwinds that have led to higher re-contracting rates and robust pipeline flows. CNA performed well despite elevated industry catastrophe losses,” said James S. Tisch, President and CEO, Loews Corporation.
