(1)The ten-year average effect of first quarter catastrophe losses on the total combined ratio was 8.4 points.

(2)The ten-year average effect of first quarter homeowners catastrophe losses on the total homeowners combined ratio was 28.3 points.

Auto loss ratio decreased 8.7 points in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, driven by the benefit of prior year reserve releases, excluding catastrophes, and increased earned premiums. Estimated report year 2026 incurred claim severity for Allstate brand increased compared to report year 2025 for major coverages due to higher repair costs, mix of total loss frequency, medical inflation and attorney representation.

Homeowners loss ratio decreased 30.3 points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses and increased premiums earned. Gross claim frequency, excluding catastrophes, decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 while paid claim severity, excluding catastrophes, increased primarily due to fire perils. Homeowners paid claim severity can be impacted by both the mix of perils and the magnitude of specific losses paid during the quarter.

Other personal lines loss ratio decreased 27.3 points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to the benefit of prior year reserve releases, excluding catastrophes, lower catastrophe losses and increased premiums earned.

Commercial lines loss ratio decreased 2.0 points in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower losses, partially offset by a decrease in premiums earned.

Other business lines loss ratio decreased 13.8 points in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses.

Catastrophe losses decreased $962 million to $1.24 billion in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Results in the first quarter of 2025 included $1.07 billion of losses related to the California wildfire events.

We define a “catastrophe” as an event that produces pre-tax losses before reinsurance in excess of $1 million and involves multiple first party

policyholders, or a winter weather event that produces a number of claims in excess of a preset, per-event threshold of average claims in a specific area, occurring within a certain amount of time following the event. Catastrophes are caused by various natural events including high winds, winter storms and freezes, tornadoes, hailstorms, wildfires, tropical storms, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes.

We are also exposed to man-made catastrophic events, such as certain types of terrorism, civil unrest, wildfires or industrial accidents. The nature and level of catastrophes in any period cannot be reliably predicted.

Loss estimates are generally based on claim adjuster inspections and the application of historical loss development factors. Our loss estimates are calculated in accordance with the coverage provided by our policies. The establishment of appropriate reserves, including reserves for catastrophe losses, is an inherently uncertain and complex process. Reserving for hurricane losses is complicated by the inability of insureds to promptly report losses, limitations placed on claims adjusting staff affecting their ability to inspect losses, determining whether losses are covered by our homeowners policy (generally for damage caused by wind or wind driven rain) or specifically excluded coverage caused by flood, exposure to mold damage, and the effects of numerous other considerations, including the timing of a catastrophe in relation to other events, such as at or near the end of a financial reporting period, which can affect the availability of information needed to estimate reserves for that reporting period. In these situations, we may need to adapt our practices to accommodate these circumstances in order to determine a best estimate of our losses from a catastrophe.

Over time, we have limited our aggregate insurance exposure to catastrophe losses in certain regions of the country that are subject to high levels of natural catastrophes by managing coverage, number of policies in force, utilizing reinsurance and participating in various state facilities.

Catastrophe reinsurance The catastrophe reinsurance program is part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide shareholders with long-term returns on the risks assumed in our property business, reduce earnings volatility, and provide protection to our customers. The current catastrophe reinsurance program supports our risk and return framework which incorporates robust economic capital modeling and is informed by catastrophe risk models including hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires. As of December 31, 2025, the modeled 1-in-100 annual aggregate probable maximum loss for hurricane, earthquake and wildfire perils was approximately $3.1 billion, net of reinsurance. We continually review our aggregate risk appetite and the cost and availability of reinsurance to optimize the risk and return profile of this exposure.

Similar to our 2025 program, our 2026 program includes coverage for losses to personal lines property, personal lines automobile, commercial lines property or commercial lines automobile arising out of multiple perils, in addition to hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires.

The total cost of our property catastrophe reinsurance programs, excluding reinstatement premiums, during the first quarter of 2026 was $308 million, compared to $257 million in the first quarter of 2025. Catastrophe placement premiums reduce net written and earned premium with approximately 83% of the reduction related to homeowners premium.

Approximately 70% of the auto injury reserve releases relate to accident years 2023 and 2024. Approximately 90% of other auto reserve releases relate to physical damage coverage from accident years 2024 and 2025, with 97% of estimated ultimate losses paid as of March 31, 2026.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the reserve releases from homeowners, other personal lines and commercial lines relate to better than expected severity developments in homeowners and consumer household property damage and injury coverages.
