Cincinnati Financial Q4 net income falls 66% to $405 million; full-year rises 24%
Cincinnati Financial reported fourth-quarter 2024 net income of $405 million, down 66% from a year earlier, mainly because the fair value of equity securities it still holds declined. For the full year, net income rose 24% to $2.292 billion and non-GAAP operating income rose 26% to $1.197 billion, helped by higher property casualty underwriting profit. The company said its first-quarter 2025 results will be affected by the California wildfires.
