"CNA produced record core income in the quarter resulting from improvement in the underlying combined ratio, very strong investment results and a lower level of catastrophe losses. We recorded a rate increase of +10%, the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit rate increase. Earned rate is now just shy of +12% and well above our long run loss cost trend. In the first part of the quarter transactional limitations resulting from the cyber incident had an impact on production. But we were able to quickly regain momentum and finish the quarter with a very strong June. This enabled us to grow our gross written premium by 8% and new business by 10% for the quarter. We are well positioned to continue capitalizing on the favorable market conditions we anticipate in the latter half of 2021," said Dino E. Robusto, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation.
