Business Outlook & Financial Sufficiency

Allstate Protection's strategy is to increase personal lines market share through Transformative Growth, which involves creating a business model, capabilities, and culture that continually transform to better serve customers. This is achieved through a multi-channel distribution strategy leveraging exclusive agency, independent agency, and direct channels. The Affordable, Simple and Connected auto and homeowners insurance products are available in 43 and 31 states, respectively, with rollout completion targeted for 2026 . Custom360 middle market standard and preferred auto and homeowners insurance products were rolled out to 36 states at the end of 2025 . The company is expanding National General by expanding product offerings and independent agency relationships and leveraging Allstate pricing and product capabilities.

Protection Services' strategy is to better serve and connect to customers by innovating new products and services, expanding distribution, and providing affordable, simple, and connected protection solutions.

Arity provides industry-leading telematics and mobility insights to insurance companies, retailers, mapping and traffic companies, public sector, and consumer mobile apps.

The expense ratio for Allstate Protection decreased 0.3 points in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher earned premium growth relative to costs, partially offset by an increase in advertising costs. The total expense ratio was 21.4% in 2025 compared to 21.7% in 2024 . Advertising expense was $2.100 billion in 2025 compared to $1.863 billion in 2024 . The company is seeking to be a low cost provider through cost reductions and new products, identifying savings opportunities for customers through proactive protection reviews and increasing pricing sophistication.

Allstate is deploying an advanced technology ecosystem to deliver affordable, simple, and connected experiences and products at a lower cost, using generative and agentic artificial intelligence to improve customer value. The company is driving organizational transformation to improve effectiveness and efficiency by empowering talent with decision clarity, agile business processes, measurement science, and advanced technology. As of December 31, 2025, Allstate had approximately 53,000 full-time employees and 300 part-time employees .

The total cost of Allstate's property catastrophe reinsurance programs, excluding reinstatement premiums, during 2025 was $1.23 billion compared to $1.11 billion during 2024 . On February 26, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for $1.50 billion which must be completed by September 30, 2026 .

Macroeconomic factors including tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages have and may continue to impact operations. Beginning on April 2, 2025, the U.S. government announced additional tariffs on goods imported to the U.S., which may impact claims costs in Allstate Protection and Dealer Services, building material costs driving increases in homeowners claim costs, and other areas. The evolving and uncertain global trade environment makes it difficult to predict the full effect on the business. The company is also subject to regulatory limitations on rate increases, with 21 locations for auto and 20 locations for home requiring prior approval of rates before use.

Catastrophe losses and severe weather events continue to be a significant factor, with the modeled 1-in-100 probable maximum loss for hurricane, earthquake, and wildfire perils being approximately $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2025 , net of reinsurance. The company has taken actions to manage catastrophe exposure, including limiting or not offering new homeowners business in certain coastal geographies, reducing exposure in California and Florida, and purchasing reinsurance.
