NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2025.
'Allstate had strong operating and financial performance in the second quarter while executing our growth strategies,' said Tom Wilson, who leads The Allstate Corporation. 'Revenues increased to $16.6 billion and net income was $2.1 billion for the quarter. Adjusted net income* was $1.6 billion, $5.94 per diluted share, which excludes a $643 million gain from the Employer Voluntary Benefits business divestiture.'
'In addition to strong financial results, we are creating shareholder value by increasing growth and proactively managing investments and capital. Total policies in force increased to 208 million, 4% higher than last year, led by Protection Plans. Personal property-liability policies have begun to grow due to expanded distribution, new products and increased marketing. Protection Plans continued to expand with international revenues up 30% above the prior year. The $77.4 billion investment portfolio generated $754 million of income in the quarter while lowering overall portfolio risk. Redeployment of capital out of the health businesses was completed on July 1 with the sale of Group Health, bringing total divestiture proceeds to $3.25 billion for this segment,' concluded Wilson.

Property-Liability earned premiums of $14.3 billion increased 7.5% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher average premiums and modest policy in force growth. Underwriting income was $1.3 billion compared to a loss of $145 million in the prior year quarter.
Premiums written increased 5.4% compared to the prior year quarter driven mainly by higher average premiums.
Policies in force increased by 0.6% as a 31.3% decline in commercial policies partially offset growth in personal property-liability.
Property-Liability combined ratio was 91.1 for the quarter which was an improvement of 10.0 points versus the prior year quarter due to improved underlying margins and favorable prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates.
Allstate Protection auto insurance generated strong margins while accelerating new business growth, which increased policies in force compared to the prior year quarter.
Written and earned premiums grew 2.7% and 4.9% compared to the prior year quarter, respectively, primarily due to higher average premiums.
Auto insurance rate increases result in an annualized premium impact of 0.4% in the second quarter, reflecting continued moderation in loss cost trends.
Auto insurance policies in force have begun to grow due to expanded distribution, increased marketing, new products and sophisticated rating plans. Policies grew by 0.5% as a 24.8% increase in new business was negatively impacted by reductions in New York and New Jersey and lower customer retention. Policy growth was 1.9% over the prior year, excluding New York and New Jersey, which have pending regulatory requests which would open these markets.
The recorded auto insurance combined ratio of 86.0 in the second quarter of 2025 was a 9.9 point improvement from the prior year quarter, reflecting higher average earned premiums, moderating loss costs and favorable prior year non-catastrophe reserve releases.
Prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates were favorable $415 million in the second quarter, a 4.3 point combined ratio impact, reflecting improvement in loss trends.
The underlying auto insurance combined ratio* of 87.8 in the second quarter of 2025 was a 5.7 point improvement from the prior year quarter, as higher average earned premiums continued to outpace loss and expense trends.
Allstate Protection homeowners insurance generated an underwriting loss of $76 million compared to a loss of $375 million in the prior year. Underlying margins improved and policies in force increased.
Written premiums and earned premiums increased by 14.3% and 15.9% compared to the prior year quarter, respectively, due to higher average premium and policies in force growth of 2.3%.
A 13.7% increase in Allstate brand homeowners insurance average gross written premium compared to the prior year quarter reflects continued rate increases and higher insured home replacement costs.
Catastrophe losses of $1.6 billion in the quarter were in line with the prior year quarter.
The recorded homeowners insurance combined ratio of 102.0 was 9.5 points below the second quarter of 2024, due to higher average premiums and favorable underlying trends.
The underlying combined ratio* of 58.6 improved by 4.9 points compared to the prior year quarter primarily driven by higher average premiums and favorable non-catastrophe claim frequency.

Protection Services continues to broaden protection to customers through five businesses that include embedded Allstate branded offerings in non-insurance purchases. Revenues increased to $867 million in the second quarter of 2025, 12.2% higher than the prior year quarter, primarily due to Allstate Protection Plans.

Allstate Investments uses a proactive approach to balance risk and return for the $77.4 billion portfolio. Net investment income of $754 million in the second quarter of 2025, increased by $42 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to market-based portfolio growth, partially offset by lower performance-based income.

Investment expenses are not allocated between market-based and performance-based portfolios with the exception of investee level expenses.
(2)
Includes investments held for sale.
Expand
Market-based investment income was $733 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $66 million, or 9.9%, compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting increased asset balances and slightly higher fixed income yields in the $67.1 billion market-based portfolio.
Performance-based investment income totaled $79 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $28 million compared to the prior year quarter reflecting lower private equity valuation increases. The overall portfolio allocation to performance-based assets provides a diversifying source of higher long-term returns; volatility in reported results is expected.
Net losses on investments and derivatives were $144 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to losses of $103 million in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2025 losses were driven by sales of fixed income securities partially offset by valuation increases on equity instruments.
Unrealized net capital gains improved by $492 million to the prior quarter as lower interest rates resulted in higher fixed income valuations and prior unrealized loss balances were converted to realized through fixed income sales.
Total return on the investment portfolio was 1.4% for the second quarter of 2025 and 5.4% for the latest twelve months.
Macroeconomic impacts are regularly monitored through our integrated Enterprise Risk and Return Management framework. In the second quarter of 2025, investment risks were lowered by reducing public equity and high yield bond allocations and shortening the fixed income portfolio duration.
Proactive Capital Management
'Allstate's results support our growth strategy creating shareholder value,' said Jess Merten, Chief Financial Officer. 'Adjusted net income return on equity* was 28.6% for the latest 12 months. Divestiture of the Employer Voluntary Benefits and Group Health businesses positions those businesses for success and reallocates capital to Allstate's strategic growth opportunities. Shareholders also benefited from a 9% increase in the quarterly dividend to $1.00 per common share, and we repurchased $341 million of common stock.'

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that investors' understanding of Allstate's performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Adjusted net income (loss) is net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, excluding:
Net gains and losses on investments and derivatives
Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses
Amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles
Gain or loss on disposition
Adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items, when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, or (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years
Related income tax expense or benefit of these items
Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to adjusted net income.
We use adjusted net income as an important measure to evaluate our results of operations. We believe that the measure provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company's ongoing performance because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services business that may be obscured by the net effect of net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles, gain or loss on disposition and adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items and the related tax expense or benefit of these items. Net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, and pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Gain or loss on disposition is excluded because it is non-recurring in nature and the amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles is excluded because it relates to the acquisition purchase price and is not indicative of our underlying business results or trends. Non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of our business or economic trends. Accordingly, adjusted net income excludes the effect of items that tend to be highly variable from period to period and highlights the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. A byproduct of excluding these items to determine adjusted net income is the transparency and understanding of their significance to net income variability and profitability while recognizing these or similar items may recur in subsequent periods. Adjusted net income is used by management along with the other components of net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders to assess our performance. We use adjusted measures of adjusted net income in incentive compensation. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, adjusted net income and their components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing and evaluating our performance. We note that investors, financial analysts, financial and business media organizations and rating agencies utilize adjusted net income results in their evaluation of our and our industry's financial performance and in their investment decisions, recommendations and communications as it represents a reliable, representative and consistent measurement of the industry and the Company and management's performance. We note that the price to earnings multiple commonly used by insurance investors as a forward-looking valuation technique uses adjusted net income as the denominator. Adjusted net income should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
The following tables reconcile net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and adjusted net income (loss). Taxes on adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and adjusted net income (loss) generally use a 21% effective tax rate.
Adjusted net income (loss) return on Allstate common shareholders' equity is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing the rolling 12-month adjusted net income by the average of Allstate common shareholders' equity at the beginning and at the end of the 12-months, after excluding the effect of unrealized net capital gains and losses. Return on Allstate common shareholders' equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use adjusted net income as the numerator for the same reasons we use adjusted net income, as discussed previously. We use average Allstate common shareholders' equity excluding the effect of unrealized net capital gains and losses for the denominator as a representation of common shareholders' equity primarily applicable to Allstate's earned and realized business operations because it eliminates the effect of items that are unrealized and vary significantly between periods due to external economic developments such as capital market conditions like changes in interest rates, the amount and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. We use it to supplement our evaluation of net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and return on Allstate common shareholders' equity because it excludes the effect of items that tend to be highly variable from period to period. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and that it provides a valuable tool for investors when considered along with return on Allstate common shareholders' equity because it eliminates the after-tax effects of realized and unrealized net capital gains and losses that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and that are driven by economic developments, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management. In addition, it eliminates non-recurring items that are not indicative of our ongoing business or economic trends. A byproduct of excluding the items noted above to determine adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity from return on Allstate common shareholders' equity is the transparency and understanding of their significance to return on common shareholders' equity variability and profitability while recognizing these or similar items may recur in subsequent periods. We use adjusted measures of adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity in incentive compensation. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to have adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity and return on Allstate common shareholders' equity when evaluating our performance. We note that investors, financial analysts, financial and business media organizations and rating agencies utilize adjusted net income return on common shareholders' equity results in their evaluation of our and our industry's financial performance and in their investment decisions, recommendations and communications as it represents a reliable, representative and consistent measurement of the industry and the company and management's utilization of capital. We also provide it to facilitate a comparison to our long-term adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity goal. Adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity should not be considered a substitute for return on Allstate common shareholders' equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.

Combined ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes, prior year reserve reestimates and amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles ('underlying combined ratio') is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between four GAAP operating ratios: the combined ratio, the effect of catastrophes on the combined ratio, the effect of prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates on the combined ratio, and the effect of amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles on the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to reveal the trends in our Property-Liability business that may be obscured by catastrophe losses, prior year reserve reestimates and amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles. Catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year reserve reestimates are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves, which could increase or decrease current year net income. Amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles relates to the acquisition purchase price and is not indicative of our underlying insurance business results or trends. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our underwriting performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of our business.
The following tables reconcile the respective combined ratio to the underlying combined ratio. Underwriting margin is calculated as 100% minus the combined ratio.
