Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending September 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
All comparisons in this discussion are to the corresponding prior year period unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts are rounded. However, percent changes and ratios are calculated using whole dollars. Accordingly, calculations using rounded dollars may differ.
Our results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of our results for the full year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 Form 10-K).
Effective for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets acquired through business combinations (primarily agency distribution relationships and renewal rights) are excluded from reportable segment results and included in Corporate amortization of purchased intangibles. We believe that this presentation better reflects the operating results of the segments as such expenses are a result of our corporate mergers and acquisitions strategy and not indicative of segment operating performance. Prior-period segment results have been recast to conform to the current presentation.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026
•Net income attributable to Chubb was $2.84 billion compared with $2.80 billion in the prior year period, reflecting higher net investment income and higher mark-to-market gains on private equity investments included in other income, partially offset by a decline in P&C underwriting income driven by higher catastrophe losses.
•Total pre-tax catastrophe losses were $705 million, compared with $285 million in the prior year.
•Consolidated net premiums written were $15.1 billion, up 1.9 percent.
•P&C net premiums written increased 1.9 percent, with consumer insurance up 6.2 percent and commercial insurance up 0.4 percent. Consumer insurance growth reflects strong new business and retention, including positive rate and exposure increases. Commercial lines net growth was unfavorably impacted from North America large account property including E&S and financial lines underwriting related exposure changes including additional reinsurance.
•Life Insurance segment net premiums written increased 1.4 percent, as growth in international life from both traditional regular premium products and savings-oriented single premium business was offset by the impact of a
one-time large transaction in New Zealand for $126 million in the third quarter of 2025. International life insurance deposits collected increased $341 million, up 68.7 percent. Additionally, net premiums written in our Chubb Benefits business increased $37 million, up 11.7 percent, primarily driven by worksite business.
•Pre-tax net investment income was $1.8 billion, compared with $1.6 billion in the prior year period, primarily due to higher average invested assets and higher interest rates.
•Operating cash flow was $6.1 billion.

Premiums
Net premiums written decreased $151 million, or 2.7 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, which includes declines in P&C lines of 1.5 percent and in financial lines of 8.4 percent. Middle market and small commercial grew 0.8 percent, with P&C lines up 2.6 percent and financial lines down 5.9 percent.

Net premiums written decreased $172 million, or 1.1 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which includes declines in P&C lines of 0.6 percent and in financial lines of 3.4 percent.

Major accounts retail and specialty declined 4.6 percent, with property and other short-tail lines down 26.0 percent, casualty up 7.0 percent, and financial lines down 1.8 percent.
The decrease in premiums is primarily due to the impact from large account property including E&S and financial lines underwriting related exposure changes including additional reinsurance, which reduced overall growth by 4.4 and 5.7 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. Within middle market and small commercial, P&C lines growth was impacted by workers' compensation payroll-related premium adjustments which reduced growth by 1.4 and 0.5 percentage points, and financial lines was impacted by underwriting related exposure changes including additional reinsurance, which reduced growth by 7.7 and 5.4 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. Within major accounts retail and specialty, growth was impacted by large account property including E&S and financial lines underwriting related exposure changes including additional reinsurance, which reduced growth by 6.2 and 8.6 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.
Net premiums earned increased $142 million, or 2.8 percent, and $339 million, or 2.2 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, reflecting the earning of premiums written in prior periods, which partially offset the decline in current quarter premiums written as described above.
Combined Ratio
The combined ratio increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflecting higher catastrophe losses and lower favorable prior period development.
The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily reflecting a change in the mix of business given the reduced property exposure.

Premiums
Net premiums written increased $95 million, or 5.3 percent, and $340 million, or 6.4 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, driven by strong new business and retention, including positive rate and broad exposure in most lines, including homeowners.
Net premiums earned increased $105 million, or 6.0 percent, and $413 million, or 8.3 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, reflecting the growth in net premiums written described above.
Combined Ratio
The combined ratio decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflecting higher favorable prior period development. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the decrease was partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the decrease also reflected lower catastrophe losses, including the unfavorable impact of the ceded reinstatement premiums on the expense ratio relating to prior year California wildfire losses, which are fully earned and carry no expenses.
The CAY combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, due to improvement in homeowners and personal excess from lower underlying losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the ratio also benefitted from a lower acquisition ratio resulting from a change in business mix, and a lower administrative ratio due to the impact of higher net premiums earned and expense management.

Premiums
Net premiums written decreased $17 million and $88 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, most notably in property lines from increased risk retention by clients, lower underlying rates, and less favorable reinsurance terms. The nine months ended September 30, 2026, also included the year-over-year unfavorable impact of higher catastrophe reinstatement premiums received in the prior year.
Net premiums earned decreased $28 million and $109 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflecting the changes in net premiums written described above. The nine months ended September 30, 2026, also included catastrophe reinstatement premiums in the prior year which were fully earned when written.
Combined Ratio
The combined ratio increased for the three months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to softer property reinsurance market conditions compared to the prior year. The combined ratio decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses.

For our international life operations, net premiums written were relatively flat and increased 13.4 percent, or 2.0 percent and 13.2 percent on a constant dollar basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, reflected growth in traditional regular premium products of 7.9 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively, primarily in North Asia, partially offset by the impact of a one-time large transaction in New Zealand in the prior year third quarter for $126 million, which reduced growth by 8.5 percentage points and 3.2 percentage points, respectively. Single premium business increased by 20.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Net premiums written in our Chubb Benefits business increased 11.7 percent and 13.8 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, due to 19.3 percent and 25.5 percent growth in worksite business.

Deposits collected on universal life and investment contracts (life deposits) are not reflected as revenues in our Consolidated statements of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, new life deposits are an important component of production, as we earn income from both net investment spreads on account balances and fees for management and administrative services. Life deposits collected increased $341 million and $532 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, due to higher savings-oriented single premium sales in Hong Kong and investment linked products in Taiwan. Life deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 also increased due to higher savings-oriented single premium sales in Huatai Life.
Life Insurance segment income
Life Insurance segment income increased $37 million and $87 million, or 11.4 percent and 9.3 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, reflecting growth in net investment income, higher fee and other income from growth in assets under management, and higher favorable loss reserve development related to our Chubb Benefits supplemental A&H business, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact.
Corporate
Corporate results primarily include the results of our non-insurance companies, income and expenses not attributable to reportable segments, loss and loss expenses of asbestos and environmental (A&E) liabilities, certain other non-A&E run-off exposures including molestation, and Huatai Group's non-insurance operations results, comprising real estate and holding company activity.

Losses and loss expenses primarily includes unfavorable prior period development for legacy environmental claims for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and molestation claims for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Integration expenses and severance principally comprised legal and professional fees and all other costs primarily related to acquisitions, as well as severance expenses incurred as part of transformation initiatives to enhance operational efficiency. These expenses are one-time in nature and are not related to the on-going business activities of the segments. The Chief Executive Officer does not manage segment results or allocate resources to segments when considering these costs and they are therefore excluded from our definition of segment income.
Refer to the respective sections that follow for a discussion of Net realized gains (losses), Net investment income (loss), and Income tax expense (benefit). Refer to Notes 10 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Market risk benefits gains (losses) and Other (income) expense, respectively.
Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
We take a long-term view with our investment strategy, and our investment managers manage our investment portfolio to maximize total return within specific guidelines designed to minimize risk. The majority of our investment portfolio is available-for-sale and reported at fair value.
The effect of market movements on our fixed maturities available-for-sale portfolio impacts Net income (through Net realized gains (losses)) when securities are sold, when we write down an asset, or when we record a change to the valuation allowance for expected credit losses. For a further discussion related to how we assess the valuation allowance for expected credit losses and the related impact on Net income, refer to Note 1 f) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K. For more information on the effect of market movements and their impact on Net income and Accumulated other comprehensive income, refer to Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) in Item 7 in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Pre-tax net unrealized losses of $4,836 million and losses of $6,305 million in our investment portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, were primarily driven by changes in interest rates.
Pre-tax net realized losses of $455 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were primarily driven by mark-to-market losses on equities, net realized losses on fixed maturities, and foreign exchange losses, partially offset by gains on derivatives. Pre-tax net realized losses of $700 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, were primarily driven by mark-to-market losses on public equities, net realized losses on fixed maturities, and foreign exchange losses, partially offset by gains on sales of equities.
Effective Income Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate (ETR) reflects a mix of income or losses in jurisdictions with a wide range of tax rates, permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and local tax laws, and the impact of discrete items. A change in the geographic mix of earnings could impact our ETR.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, our ETR was 19.6 percent and 20.5 percent, respectively, compared to an ETR of 20.2 percent and 19.7 percent, respectively, in the prior year. The ETR for each period was impacted by our mix of earnings among various jurisdictions and by discrete tax items.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation
In presenting our results, we included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
We provide financial measures, including net premiums written, net premiums earned, segment income, and underwriting income on a constant-dollar basis. We believe it is useful to evaluate the trends in our results exclusive of the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which our international business is transacted, as these exchange rates could fluctuate significantly between periods and distort the analysis of trends. The impact is determined by assuming constant foreign exchange rates between periods by translating prior period results using the same local currency exchange rates as the comparable current period.
P&C performance metrics comprise consolidated operating results (including Corporate) and exclude the operating results of the Life Insurance segment. We believe that these measures are useful and meaningful to investors as they are used by management to assess the company's P&C operations which are the most economically similar. We exclude the Life Insurance segment because the results of this business do not always correlate with the results of our P&C operations.
P&C combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss expense ratio, policy acquisition cost ratio and the administrative expense ratio excluding the life business and including the realized gains and losses on the crop derivatives. These derivatives were purchased to provide economic benefit, in a manner similar to reinsurance protection, in the event that a significant decline in commodity pricing impacts underwriting results. We view gains and losses on these derivatives as part of the results of our underwriting operations.
CAY P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses (CATs) excludes CATs and prior period development (PPD) from the P&C combined ratio. We exclude CATs as they are not predictable as to timing and amount and PPD as these unexpected loss developments on historical reserves are not indicative of our current underwriting performance. The combined ratio numerator is adjusted to exclude CATs, PPD, and expense adjustments on PPD, and the denominator is adjusted to exclude net premiums earned adjustments on PPD and reinstatement premiums on CATs and PPD. In periods where there are adjustments on loss sensitive policies, these adjustments are excluded from PPD and net premiums earned when calculating the ratios. We believe this measure provides a better evaluation of our underwriting performance and enhances the understanding of the trends in our P&C business that may be obscured by these items. This measure is commonly reported among our peer companies and allows for a better comparison.
Reinstatement premiums are additional premiums paid on certain reinsurance agreements in order to reinstate coverage that had been exhausted by loss occurrences. The reinstatement premium amount is typically a pro rata portion of the original ceded premium paid based on how much of the reinsurance limit had been exhausted.
Net premiums earned adjustments within PPD are adjustments to the initial premium earned on retrospectively rated policies based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The premium adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies and are fully earned in the period the adjustments are recorded.
Prior period expense adjustments typically relate to adjustable commission reserves or policyholder dividend reserves based on actual claim experience that develops after the policy period ends. The expense adjustments correlate to the prior period loss development on these same policies.
Total adjusted capitalization is the sum of the short-term debt, long-term debt, hybrid debt, and Chubb shareholders' equity less Chubb unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net of deferred tax. This measure is meaningful as it eliminates the effect of after-tax unrealized mark-to-market movements on our investment portfolio, which can fluctuate significantly from period to period, to better highlight our underlying total capital position.

Net investment income is influenced by a number of factors including the amounts and timing of inward and outward cash flows, the level of interest rates, and changes in overall asset allocation. Net investment income increased 8.6 percent and 10.1 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, primarily due to higher average invested assets and higher interest rates.
For private equities where we own less than three percent, investment income is included within Net investment income in the table above. For private equities where we own more than three percent, investment income is included within Other (income) expense in the Consolidated statements of operations. Excluded from Net investment income is the mark-to-market movement for private equities, which is recorded within either Other (income) expense or Net realized gains (losses) based on our percentage of ownership. The total mark-to-market movement for private equities excluded from Net investment income was as follows:

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $602 million. Based on projected variable expenses and our existing debt obligations, including recent issuances, we expect pre-tax interest expense to be approximately $206 million for the remainder of 2026, or $808 million for the full year. For more information on our debt obligations, refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein, and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, under Item 8 in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Non-U.S.
Chubb's local currency investment portfolios have strict contractual investment guidelines requiring managers to maintain a high quality and diversified portfolio to both sector and individual issuers. Investment portfolios are monitored daily to ensure investment manager compliance with portfolio guidelines.
Our non-U.S. investment grade fixed income portfolios are currency-matched with the insurance liabilities of our non-U.S. operations. The average credit quality of our non-U.S. fixed income securities is A/A and 40 percent of our holdings are rated AAA or guaranteed by governments or quasi-government agencies. Within the context of these investment portfolios, our government and corporate bond holdings are highly diversified across industries and geographies. Issuer limits are based on credit rating (AA- two percent, A-one percent, BBB-0.5 percent of the total portfolio) and are monitored daily via an internal compliance system. We manage our indirect exposure using the same credit rating-based investment approach. Accordingly, we do not believe our indirect exposure is material.

Below-investment grade corporate fixed income portfolio
Below-investment grade securities have different characteristics than investment grade corporate debt securities. Risk of loss from default by the borrower is greater with below-investment grade securities. Below-investment grade securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Also, issuers of below-investment grade securities usually have higher levels of debt and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than investment grade issuers. At September 30, 2026, our corporate fixed income investment portfolio included below-investment grade and non-rated securities which, in total, comprised approximately 12 percent of our fixed income portfolio. Our below-investment grade and non-rated portfolio includes over 1,700 issuers, with the greatest single exposure being $186 million.
We manage high-yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. The allocation to high-yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B. Sixteen external investment managers are responsible for high-yield security selection and portfolio construction. Our high-yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience. Holdings are highly diversified across industries and generally subject to a 1.5 percent issuer limit
as a percentage of high-yield allocation. We monitor position limits daily through an internal compliance system. Derivative and structured securities (e.g., credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations) are not permitted in the high-yield portfolio.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Refer to Item 7 in our 2025 Form 10-K for a description of our critical accounting estimates. Except as shown in the table below, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2025.
Unpaid losses and loss expenses
As an insurance and reinsurance company, we are required by applicable laws and regulations and U.S. GAAP to establish loss and loss expense reserves for the estimated unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses under the terms of our policies and agreements with our insured and reinsured customers. With the exception of certain structured settlements, for which the timing and amount of future claim payments are reliably determinable, and certain reserves for unsettled claims, our loss reserves are not discounted for the time value of money. The net undiscounted reserves related to structured settlements and certain reserves for unsettled claims are immaterial.
The following table presents a roll-forward of our unpaid losses and loss expenses:

Balance at September 30, 2026 $ 91,829 $ 18,919 $ 72,910
(1)Net of valuation allowance for uncollectible reinsurance.
The estimate of the liabilities includes provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date (case reserves) and for obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR) at the balance sheet date. IBNR may also include provisions to account for the possibility that reported claims may settle for amounts that differ from the established case reserves. Loss reserves also include an estimate of expenses associated with processing and settling unpaid claims (loss expenses).
Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on the changes in the loss reserves.
Catastrophe Management
We actively monitor and manage our catastrophe risk accumulation around the world from natural perils, which includes setting risk limits based on probable maximum loss (PML) and purchasing catastrophe reinsurance to ensure sufficient liquidity and capital to meet the expectations of regulators, rating agencies, and policyholders, and to provide shareholders with an appropriate risk-adjusted return. Chubb uses internal and external data together with sophisticated, analytical catastrophe loss and risk modeling techniques to ensure an appropriate understanding of risk, including diversification and correlation effects, across different product lines and territories. The table below presents our modeled pre-tax estimates of natural catastrophe PML, net of reinsurance, at September 30, 2026, and does not represent our expected catastrophe losses for any one year.

(1) Worldwide aggregate includes modeled losses arising from tropical cyclones, convective storms, earthquakes, wildfires, and inland floods, and excludes "non-modeled" perils such as man-made and other catastrophe risks including pandemic.
(2) U.S. hurricane modeled losses include losses from wind, storm-surge, and related precipitation-induced flooding.
(3) California earthquake modeled losses include the fire-following sub-peril.
The PML for worldwide and key U.S. peril regions are based on our in-force portfolio at July 1, 2026, and reflect the April 1, 2026, reinsurance program, as well as inuring reinsurance protection coverage. Refer to the Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance section for more information. These estimates assume that reinsurance recoverable is fully collectible.
According to the model, for the 1-in-100 return period scenario, there is a one percent chance that our pre-tax annual aggregate losses incurred in any year from U.S. hurricane events could be in excess of $3,601 million (or 4.9 percent of total Chubb shareholders' equity at September 30, 2026).
The above estimates of Chubb's loss profile are inherently uncertain for many reasons, including the following:
•While the use of third-party modeling packages to simulate potential catastrophe losses is prevalent within the insurance industry, the models are reliant upon significant meteorology, seismology, and engineering assumptions to estimate catastrophe losses. In particular, modeled catastrophe events are not always a representation of actual events and ensuing additional loss potential;
•There is no universal standard in the preparation of insured data for use in the models, the running of the modeling software, and interpretation of loss output. These loss estimates do not represent our potential maximum exposures and it is highly likely that our actual incurred losses would vary materially from the modeled estimates;
•The potential effects of climate change add to modeling complexity; and
•Changing climate conditions could impact our exposure to natural catastrophe risks. Published studies by leading government, academic, and professional organizations combined with extensive research by Chubb climate scientists reveal the potential for increases in the frequency and severity of key natural perils such as tropical cyclones, inland flood, and wildfire. To understand the potential impacts on the Chubb portfolio, we have conducted stress tests on our peak exposure zone, namely in the U.S., using parameters outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Climate Change 2021 report. These parameters consider the impacts of climate change and the resulting climate peril impacts over a timescale relevant to our business. The tests are conducted by adjusting our baseline view of risk for the perils of hurricane, inland flood, and wildfire in the U.S. to reflect increases in frequency and severity across the modeled domains for each of these perils. Based on these tests against the Chubb portfolio we do not expect material impacts to our baseline PMLs from climate change through December 31, 2026. These tests reflect current exposures only and exclude potentially mitigating factors such as changes to building codes, public or private risk mitigation, regulation, and public policy.
Refer to Item 7 in our 2025 Form 10-K for more information on man-made and other catastrophes.
Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program
Chubb's core property catastrophe reinsurance program provides protection against natural catastrophes impacting its primary property operations (i.e., excluding our Global Reinsurance and Life Insurance segments).
We regularly review our reinsurance protection and corresponding property catastrophe exposures. This may or may not lead to the purchase of additional reinsurance prior to a program's renewal date. In addition, prior to each renewal date, we consider how much, if any, coverage we intend to buy and we may make material changes to the current structure in light of various factors, including modeled PML assessment at various return periods, reinsurance pricing, our risk tolerance and exposures, and various other structuring considerations.
Chubb renewed its Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Program for our North American and International operations effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The program consists of three layers in excess of losses retained by Chubb on a per occurrence basis. Terrorism is covered in all three layers (excluding nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation coverage, with an inclusion of coverage for biological and chemical coverage for personal lines) in the United States on an aggregate basis above our retentions without a reinstatement.

Repurchase agreements are excluded from the table above and are disclosed separately from short-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets. The repurchase agreements are collateralized borrowings where we maintain the right and ability to redeem the collateral on short notice, unlike short-term debt which comprises the current maturities of our long-term debt instruments. In June 2026, the €575 million 0.875 percent senior unsecured notes due to mature in June 2027 were reclassified to short-term debt.
Chubb INA Holdings LLC (Chubb INA) completed the following debt transactions in 2026:
•March 2026: Issued CHF200 million (approximately $254 million at the time of issuance) aggregate principal amount of 1.02 percent senior unsecured notes due March 2032.
•May 2026: Repaid $1.5 billion of 3.35 percent senior unsecured notes upon maturity.
•May 2026: Issued $1.0 billion of 5.30 percent senior unsecured notes due May 2036.
•May 2026: Issued CNH4.0 billion senior unsecured notes (approximately $587 million at the time of issuance) in 5-year and 10-year tranches, at 2.40 percent and 2.85 percent, respectively.
•June 2026: Issued CAD800 million senior unsecured notes (approximately $572 million at the time of issuance) in 5-year and 7-year tranches, at 3.780 percent and 4.034 percent, respectively.
•August 2026: Issued CHF400 million senior unsecured notes (approximately $494 million at the time of issuance) in 3-year and 7-year tranches, at 0.86 percent and 1.22 percent, respectively.
Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased $3.3 billion of Common Shares in a series of open market transactions under the Board of Directors (Board) share repurchase authorization. At September 30, 2026, there were 17,590,778 Common Shares in treasury with a weighted-average cost of $251.22 per share. In May 2026, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $7.5 billion of Chubb's Common Shares, effective July 1, 2026 with no expiration date. For the period October 1, 2026, through October 27, 2026, we repurchased 876,400 Common Shares for a total of $305 million in a series of open market transactions under the share repurchase authorization. At October 27, 2026, $6.0 billion in share repurchase authorization remained.
We generally maintain the ability to issue certain classes of debt and equity securities via a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shelf registration statement which is renewed every three years. This allows us capital market access for refinancing as well as for unforeseen or opportunistic capital needs.
Dividends
We have paid dividends each quarter since we became a public company in 1993. Under Swiss law, dividends must be stated in Swiss francs though dividend payments are made by Chubb in U.S. dollars. Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our dividend methodology.
At our May 2026 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an annual dividend for the following year of up to $4.08 per share, or CHF 3.20 per share, calculated using the USD/CHF exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on May 21, 2026, expected to be paid in four quarterly installments of $1.02 per share after the general meeting by way of a distribution from capital contribution reserves, transferred to free reserves for payment. The Board determines the record and payment dates at which the annual dividend may be paid until the date of the 2027 annual general meeting and is authorized to abstain from distributing a dividend at its discretion. The annual dividend approved in May 2026 represented a $0.20 per share increase ($0.05 per quarter) over the prior year dividend.
The following table represents dividends paid per Common Share to shareholders of record on each of the following dates:
Shareholders of record as of: Dividends paid as of:
December 12, 2025 January 2, 2026 $0.97 (CHF 0.78)
March 13, 2026 April 6, 2026 $0.97 (CHF 0.75)
June 12, 2026 July 2, 2026 $1.02 (CHF 0.80)
September 11, 2026 October 2, 2026 $1.02 (CHF 0.83)
Liquidity
We anticipate that positive cash flows from operations (underwriting activities and investment income) should be sufficient to cover cash outflows under most loss scenarios for the near term. In addition to cash from operations, routine sales of investments, and financing arrangements, we have agreements with a third-party bank provider which implemented two international multi-currency notional cash pooling programs to enhance cash management efficiency during periods of short-term timing mismatches between expected inflows and outflows of cash by currency. The programs allow us to optimize investment income by avoiding portfolio disruption. Should the need arise, we generally have access to the long-term capital markets, credit facilities, and commercial paper.
Our group syndicated credit facility has capacity of $3.0 billion and expires in December 2030. Our total credit facility capacity is $4.3 billion, $3.0 billion of which can be used for revolving credit. At September 30, 2026, our letter of credit borrowings outstanding under these facilities were $980 million. Our access to credit under these facilities is dependent on the ability of the bank counterparties to meet their funding commitments. The facilities require that we maintain certain financial covenants, all of which we met at September 30, 2026. Should the existing credit providers on these facilities experience financial difficulty, we may be required to replace credit sources, possibly in a difficult market. If we cannot obtain adequate capital or sources of credit on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. To date, we have not experienced difficulty accessing our credit facility or establishing additional facilities when needed.
We have the ability to borrow a total of $2.0 billion in commercial paper, supported by the availability under our $3.0 billion group syndicated credit facility. At September 30, 2026, there were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding.
We use repurchase agreements as a low-cost alternative source of liquidity within our operating subsidiaries. At September 30, 2026, there were $3.2 billion in repurchase agreements outstanding with various maturities over the next two months.
The payment of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from our operating companies are subject to the laws and regulations applicable to each jurisdiction, as well as the need to maintain capital levels adequate to support the insurance and reinsurance operations, including financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we were able to meet all our obligations, including the payments of dividends on our Common Shares, with our net cash flows.
We assess which subsidiaries to draw dividends from based on a number of factors. Considerations such as regulatory and legal restrictions as well as the subsidiary's financial condition are paramount to the dividend decision. The U.S. insurance subsidiaries of Chubb INA may pay dividends, without prior regulatory approval, subject to restrictions set out in state law of the subsidiary's domicile (or, if applicable, commercial domicile). Chubb INA's international subsidiaries are also subject to insurance laws and regulations particular to the countries in which the subsidiaries operate. These laws and regulations sometimes include restrictions that limit the amount of dividends payable without prior approval of regulatory insurance authorities. The following table summarizes dividends paid to Chubb Limited and Chubb INA and redemptions of Chubb Limited's ownership interest in Chubb INA.

(in millions of U.S. dollars) 2026 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 13,748 $ 8,756
Net cash used for investing activities (9,895) (8,928)
Net cash used for financing activities (3,390) (189)
Our sources of liquidity include cash from operations, routine sales of investments, and financing arrangements.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5.0 billion primarily due to higher net premiums collected, lower net losses paid, and higher net investment income collected. The increase also reflects $919 million net proceeds from sales of consolidated investment products (CIP) in the current year, compared to $985 million in net purchases of CIP in the prior year.
Cash used in investing increased $1.0 billion, primarily due to higher net purchases of fixed maturities and short-term investments of $1.9 billion and higher net use of cash for derivative settlements of $307 million. This activity was partially offset by lower net private equity contributions of $1.3 billion.
Cash used in financing increased $3.2 billion. This increase reflects higher common shares repurchases of $753 million, higher net repayment of repurchase agreements of $835 million, and higher net repayment of debt of $215 million. Additionally, the current year net capital distributed by consolidated investment products was $589 million compared to a prior year net third party capital invested in consolidated investment products of $1.0 billion. This activity was partially offset by higher net policyholder deposits of $264 million.
Both internal and external forces influence our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Claim settlements, premium levels, and investment returns may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions. In many cases, significant periods of time, ranging up to several years or more, may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the reporting of the loss to us, and the settlement of the liability for that loss.
Information provided in connection with outstanding debt of subsidiaries
Chubb INA Holdings LLC (Chubb INA or Subsidiary Issuer) is an indirect 100 percent-owned and consolidated subsidiary of Chubb Limited (Parent Guarantor).
