Auditor's conclusion

We have conducted a comparative analysis of the balance sheet and the income statement of Loews Corporation (hereafter – the "Company") for the year 2019 submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The primary business activity of the company is Fire, Marine, and Casualty Insurance (SIC code 6331). During the analysis we have compared the key financial ratios of the company with the average (median) values of those ratios calculated for the specific industry sector and for all industries. The averages are calculated using the data from financial statements for the year 2019 submitted to the SEC through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR). By comparing each of the eleven key metrics with the median value, we have made a generalized conclusion about the quality of the financial condition of the company. Calculations and summary conclusions are made in a computerized way using software and methods developed by Consulting financial and analytical company Ankon.

As a result of the analysis of the key financial ratios of the company, we have established the following. The financial condition of Loews Corporation in 2019 is worse than the financial condition of half of all companies engaged in the activity "Fire, Marine, and Casualty Insurance"

When compared with the averages for all U.S. industry sectors, the Company shows much better results. This is due to the relatively high performance of businesses engaged in this type of activity relative to the average for all industries. The financial position of Loews Corporation is better than that of most listed companies that submit financial statements to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Financial data source and analysis principles

The above is a comparative analysis of the financial position and performance of the company. The comparison is based on official financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) (about 10,000 largest publicly traded companies). The comparison is performed using the eleven key financial ratios (see table above). Company's financial ratios are compared with the median values of ratios of all companies and of companies within the same industry, and also with the quartiles of those ratios. Each ratio value is given a score ranging from -2 and +2 depending on its position relative to the quartiles (-2 – below the first quartile; -1 – between the first and the second quartile; +1 – between the second and the third quartile; +2 – above the third quartile; 0 – the ratio value deviates from the median by no more than 5% of the difference between the median and the quartile closest to the ratio value). To draw a conclusion from the analysis the individual scores are weighted equally to get an overall score ranging from -2 and +2.

	much better (+1 - +2incl)
	better (from 0.11 to +1incl)
	about the same (from -0.11incl to +0.11incl)
	worse (from -1incl to -0.11)
	much worse (from -2incl to -1)
