Hartford profit tops estimates

Hartford Financial Services reported better than expected third-quarter earnings late Thursday after the insurer avoided big hurricane losses.

Tempering the good news, Hartford said almost $350 million flowed out of its variable-annuity business as competition took its toll.

Net income came in at $539 million, or $1.76 a share, vs. $494 million or $1.66 a share a year earlier, the company said.
