• CNA's earnings decreased primarily due to a charge of $216 million ($151 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) resulting from the recognition of an active life reserve premium deficiency in long term care. Absent this charge, earnings decreased mainly due to unfavorable net prior year development in the Property & Casualty business as compared to favorable net prior year development in 2018, partially offset by lower catastrophe losses in 2019.
