Item2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Loews Corporation (the Company) is furnishing this Current Report
on Form 8-K/A as Amendment No.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K
originally furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) on February6, 2017. The purpose of this Amendment No.1
is to announce revised financial results for the quarter and year
ended December31, 2016.

On February13, 2017, Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. (Diamond
Offshore), a 53% owned subsidiary of the Company announced it has
revised its previously announced preliminary earnings for the
quarter and year ended December31, 2016. The revision resulted
from Diamond Offshores discovery during the process of completing
its year-end financial reporting process that its liability for
uncertain tax positions, in certain foreign jurisdictions, did
not appropriately reflect changes in foreign exchange rates. The
majority of the impact was related to the devaluation of the
Egyptian Pound which occurred primarily in the fourth quarter of
2016. As a result of that revision, the Companys previously
reported net income and book value per share have also been
revised as follows:
