Allstate Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

The Allstate Corporation (NYSE:ALL) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2025.

"Allstate's strategy, operational excellence and risk management practices generated strong first quarter results, despite unprecedented severe weather," said Tom Wilson, Chair, President and CEO of The Allstate Corporation. "Revenues increased to $16.5 billion, a 7.8% increase over the prior year, with growth in policies in force of 6.7% to 211 million. Net income was $566 million, lower than last year, as a record $3.3 billion of gross catastrophe losses were partially offset by $1.1 billion of reinsurance recoveries in the quarter. Adjusted net income* was $949 million, or $3.53 per diluted share."

"Transformative Growth gained momentum with strong underlying insurance profitability and sequential growth in auto and homeowners insurance policies in force. Proactive investment management supported enterprise risk and return objectives including the generation of $854 million of net investment income for the quarter. Protection Plans continues to grow in the U.S and internationally with revenues up 16.4% over the prior year. Closing the sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business on April 1 for $2.0 billion further strengthens capital. Allstate has the capabilities, brand, distribution and resources to increase Property-Liability market share and expand protection provided to customers," concluded Wilson.

• Allstate Health and Benefits
  • The sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business closed on April 1, 2025, generating a financial book gain of approximately $625 million that will be recorded in the second quarter of 2025. Operating results were reported in the Health and Benefits segment, and the assets and liabilities of the business are classified as held for sale for the first quarter.
  • The assets and liabilities of the Group Health business are classified as held for sale. The financial operating results of the Group Health business will continue to be reported as part of net income until the transaction closes.
  • Premiums and contract charges for health and benefits increased 1.9%, or $9 million, compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to growth in Individual Health and Group Health, partially offset by a decline in Employer Voluntary Benefits.

• Allstate Investments uses a proactive approach to balancing risk and returns for the $74.1 billion portfolio. Net investment income of $854 million in the first quarter of 2025, increased by $90 million from the prior year quarter due to portfolio growth and repositioning into higher yielding fixed income securities.

• Market-based investment income was $719 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $93 million, or 14.9%, compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting increased asset balances and higher yields in the $63.5 billion market-based portfolio. Public common equity holdings, excluding funds with underlying investments in fixed income securities, were $3.2 billion on March 31, below strategic asset allocation targets.

• Performance-based investment income totaled $196 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $5 million compared to the prior year quarter reflecting lower private equity valuation increases, offset by higher real estate investment results. The portfolio allocation to performance-based assets provides a diversifying source of higher long-term returns, and volatility in reported results is expected.

• Net losses on investments and derivatives were $349 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to losses of $164 million in the prior year quarter. Net losses in the first quarter of 2025 were driven by losses on the sales of fixed income securities, valuation declines on equity investments and credit losses, including $67 million related to the Reciprocal Exchanges.

• Unrealized net capital losses totaled $443 million (pre-tax) as of March 31, a $540 million improvement to the prior year end as lower interest rates resulted in higher fixed income valuations.

• Total return on the investment portfolio was 1.4% for the first quarter of 2025 and 4.7% for the latest twelve months.

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.

The following tables reconcile return on Allstate common shareholders' equity and adjusted net income (loss) return on Allstate common shareholders' equity.

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.
