Chubb Limited chair and chief executive Evan G. Greenberg (pictured) is happy with the insurer’s performance in the three months ended June 30, calling the period “another great quarter” for the company.

Here’s how Chubb performed in the second quarter:




Metric



Q2 2024



Q2 2023







Property and casualty underwriting income



US$1.418 billion



US$1.425 billion





Global P&C (excludes agriculture) underwriting income



US$1.383 billion



US$1.337 billion





Life insurance segment income



US$276 million



US$254 million





Net income



US$2.230 billion



US$1.793 billion





Core operating income, net of tax



US$2.196 billion



US$2.044 billion




 

Commenting on the numbers, the CEO said: “We had another great quarter which contributed to record six-month results. Per-share core operating income in the quarter was up 9.3% while record year-to-date operating income was up 15.7%. Our P&C underwriting results in the quarter were simply excellent in spite of a higher level of catastrophe losses, highlighted by a published combined ratio of 86.8%, and supported by record ex-CAT current accident year underwriting income of $1.8 billion and a combined ratio of 83.2%.

“Adjusted investment income topped US$1.5 billion, up nearly 26% and a record, and we grew life segment income about 11.5% in constant dollars with international life up over 15%. We produced double-digit premium revenue growth across the globe with strong results in our North America P&C, international P&C, and life insurance divisions.”

Greenberg went on to say: “In summary, we had a great quarter, and our results reflect the strength, breadth, and depth globally of the company. We are confident in our ability to continue growing our operating earnings at a superior rate through P&C revenue growth and underwriting margins, investment income, and life income.”

In the first half, Chubb’s net income grew 18.7% to US$4.373 billion.
