Third Quarter 2026 Form 10-Q 51

Auto loss ratio increased 1.0 point in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, driven by higher losses, partially offset by the benefit of prior year reserve releases. The third quarter of 2026 benefited from 1.6 points of favorable development for claims reported in the first half of 2026. Auto loss ratio decreased 3.7 points in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025, driven by the benefit of prior year reserve releases, excluding catastrophes. Estimated report year 2026 incurred claim severity for Allstate brand increased compared to report year 2025 for major coverages, reflecting ongoing inflationary pressures, including rising medical costs and continued increases in attorney representation.

Homeowners loss ratio increased 18.7 points in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by an increase in premiums earned. The third quarter of 2026 benefited from 1.8 points of favorable development for claims reported in the first half of 2026. Homeowners loss ratio decreased 6.3 points in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses and increased premiums earned. Gross claim frequency, excluding catastrophes, increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 compared to the same periods of 2025. Paid claim severity, excluding catastrophes, increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 compared to the same periods of 2025, 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.

Specialty lines loss ratio decreased 6.6 points in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower reserve strengthening partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. Specialty lines loss ratio decreased 16.9 points in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to the benefit of prior year reserve releases, excluding catastrophes, and increased premiums earned.

Commercial lines loss ratio increased 51.9 points and increased 10.3 points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2025, primarily due to lower prior year reserve releases.

Brokered solutions and collateral protection loss ratio increased 10.1 points in the third quarter of 2026, compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and lower premiums earned. Brokered solutions and collateral protection loss ratio increased 0.8 points in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in premiums earned and lower prior year reserve releases, partially offset by lower non-catastrophe losses.

Catastrophe losses increased $1.09 billion to $1.65 billion in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, driven by two large wind/hail events and more frequent smaller events. Catastrophe losses decreased $138 million to $4.61 billion in the first nine months of 2026 compared to the first nine months of 2025. Results in 2025 included $1.11 billion of losses related to 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 wildfires, terrorism, civil unrest, 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.

(1)Includes reinsurance recoveries.

(2)Gross losses before reinsurance recoverables and reinstatement premiums were $6.01 billion.

The Company is pursuing subrogation recoveries related to the January 2025 California wildfires. No amounts have been recognized for these potential recoveries. Any ultimate recovery is expected to primarily benefit the Company's reinsurers, with the Company's direct benefit principally related to reinsurance reinstatement premiums.

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 September 30, 2026, the modeled 1-in-100 annual aggregate probable maximum loss for hurricane, earthquake and wildfire perils was approximately $3.3 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.

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. Additional information regarding our 2026 catastrophe reinsurance program is included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026 in the Allstate Protection Segment section of MD&A.

The total cost of our property catastrophe reinsurance programs, excluding reinstatement premiums, during the third quarter and first nine

months of 2026 was $350 million and $1.04 billion, respectively, compared to $352 million and $914 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025. Catastrophe placement premiums reduce net written and earned premium with approximately 83% of the reduction related to homeowners premium.

Prior year reserve reestimates, including catastrophes, decreased reserves by $969 million in the third quarter of 2026 and $2.61 billion in the first nine months of 2026.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, favorable auto severity, excluding catastrophes, reflected improved prior period loss development and better than expected claim outcomes.

Auto reserve releases for the third quarter of 2026 included $802 million related to auto injury coverages and $74 million related to other auto reserves. Approximately 28% of auto injury coverage reserve releases related to accident year 2025 and approximately 55% to 2023 and 2024.

Auto reserve releases during the first nine months of 2026 included $2.07 billion related to auto injury coverages and $279 million related to other auto reserves. Approximately 29% of auto injury coverage reserve releases related to accident year 2025 and approximately 52% to 2023 and 2024.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, reserve releases in homeowners were primarily driven by favorable severity assumptions, offset by catastrophe reserve increases. Reserve releases in commercial lines were primarily driven by improved commercial auto injury severity.

For a more detailed discussion on reinsurance and reserve reestimates, see Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
