Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Allstate Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1
General
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Allstate Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, primarily Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”), a property and casualty insurance company (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Allstate”) and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is considered a primary beneficiary. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.
These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
To reflect the application of the new guidance to all in-scope long-duration insurance contracts, certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes for 2022 have been recast.
Adopted accounting standard
Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) guidance revising the accounting for certain long-duration insurance contracts using the modified retrospective approach to the transition date of January 1, 2021.
Under the new guidance, measurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy lapses, are required to be reviewed at least annually, and updated as appropriate. In addition, reserves under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield that is updated through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) at each reporting date. Additionally, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) for all long-duration products are amortized on a simplified basis. Also, the Company’s reserve for future policy benefits and DAC are subject to new disclosure guidance.
In addition, the Company met the conditions included in Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-05, Transition for Sold Contracts, and elected to not apply the new guidance for contracts that were part of the 2021 sales of Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (“ALNY”).

Decrease in retained income

Decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”)
277
Total decrease in equity
$
298
The decrease in AOCI was primarily attributable to a change in the discount rate used in measuring the reserve for future policy benefits for traditional life contracts and other long-term products with guaranteed terms from a portfolio-based rate at contract issuance to an upper-medium grade fixed income-based rate at the transition date. The decrease in retained income primarily related to certain cohorts of long-term contracts whose expected net premiums exceeded expected gross premiums which resulted in an increase in reserves and a decrease in retained income equal to the present value of expected future benefits less the present value of expected future premiums at the transition date.

Reserve for future policy benefits
Long-duration voluntary accident and health insurance and traditional life insurance contracts The reserve for future policy benefits (“RFPB”) is calculated using the net premium reserving model, which uses the present value of insurance contract benefits less the present value of net premiums. Under the net premium reserving model, the Company computes a net premium ratio which is the present value of insurance contract benefits divided by the present value of gross premiums. The present value of contract benefits and
gross premiums are determined using the discount rate at contract inception. The net premium ratio is applied to premiums due on a periodic basis to compute the RFPB. The net premium ratio is recomputed at least annually using both actual historical cash flows and future cash flows anticipated over the life of cohort of contracts subject to measurement. Assumptions including mortality, morbidity, and lapses affect the timing and amount of estimated cash flows used to calculate the RFPB.
The Company has grouped contracts into cohorts based on product type and issue year. Examples of insurance product types include whole life, term life,
10www.allstate.com
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
critical illness and disability. Issue year is based on the issuance date of the contract to the policyholder, except in the case of contracts acquired in a business combination, where the issue date is based on the acquisition date of the business combination. The RFPB is calculated for contracts in force at the end of each period, which results in the Company recognizing the effects of actual experience in the period it occurs.
Annually, in the third quarter, the Company obtains historical premiums and benefits information and evaluates future cash flow assumptions that include mortality, morbidity, and terminations, and updates cash flow assumptions as necessary. The Company has elected to not update the expense assumption when annually reviewing and updating future cash flow assumptions. Actual premiums and benefits and any updates to future cash flow assumptions are incorporated into the calculation of an updated net premium ratio. Updates for actual premiums and benefits and changes to future cash flow assumptions will result in a liability remeasurement gain or loss that is recognized in net income. The first step to determining the liability remeasurement gain or loss is to calculate the RFPB using revised net premiums discounted at the locked-in discount rate set at contract issuance. The result of the first step is then compared to the carrying amount of the RFPB before the updates for actual experience and changes to future cash flow assumptions. The decrease (gain) or increase (loss) in the RFPB is reported as liability remeasurement gain or loss in net income and presented parenthetically as part of Accident, health and other policy benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The updated net premium ratio is used in future quarters to measure the RFPB until the next annual update or an earlier date if the Company determines it is necessary to revise future cash flow assumptions based on available evidence, including actual experience.
The discount rate assumption is determined using a yield curve approach. The yield curve consists of U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured fixed-income securities issued by U.S. companies that have an A credit rating based on the ratings provided by nationally recognized rating agencies that include Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch. For points on the yield curve that do not have observable yields, the Company uses linear interpolation which calculates the unobservable yield based on the two nearest observable yields, except for any points beyond the last observable yield at 30 years, where interest rates are held constant with the last observable point on the yield curve. The Company updates the current discount rate quarterly and the change in the RFPB resulting from the updated current discount rate is recognized in OCI.
Deferred policy acquisition costs
Deferred policy acquisition costs are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and are deferred and recognized as an expense over the life of the related contracts. These costs are principally agent and broker remuneration, premium taxes and certain underwriting expenses. All other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and included in operating costs and expenses.
Long-duration voluntary accident and health insurance, traditional life insurance contracts, and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts Voluntary accident and health insurance and traditional life insurance contracts are grouped by product and issue year into cohorts consistent with the cohorts used to calculate the RFPB. Interest-sensitive life insurance contracts are grouped into cohorts by issue year, and the issue year is determined based on contract issue date. DAC is amortized on a constant level basis over the expected contract term and is included in Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The constant level basis used for all cohorts is based on policies-in-force. The expected contract term and mortality, morbidity, and termination assumptions are used to calculate both DAC amortization and the RFPB. If actual contract terminations are greater than expected terminations for any cohort, each affected cohort’s DAC balance will be reduced in the current period based on the difference between the actual and expected terminations. No adjustments to DAC amortization are recorded if actual contract terminations are less than expected terminations for any cohort. If the Company makes an update to any of its mortality, morbidity, or termination assumptions, the Company will use the assumptions prospectively to amortize any cohort’s remaining DAC over the remaining expected contract term.
The costs assigned to the right to receive future cash flows from certain business purchased from other insurers are also classified as DAC in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The costs capitalized represent the present value of future profits expected to be earned over the lives of the contracts acquired. The Company amortizes the present value of future profits using the same methodology and assumptions as the amortization of DAC. The present value of future profits is subject to premium deficiency testing.

Note 2
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including vested unissued participating restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding.
For the Company, dilutive potential common shares consist of outstanding stock options, unvested
non-participating restricted stock units and contingently issuable performance stock awards. The effect of dilutive potential common shares does not include the effect of options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share because their exercise prices exceed the average market price of Allstate common shares during the period or for which the unrecognized compensation cost would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Note 3
Reportable Segments
Measuring segment profit or loss
The measure of segment profit or loss used in evaluating performance is underwriting income for the Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability segments and adjusted net income for the Protection Services, Allstate Health and Benefits and Corporate and Other segments.
Allstate Protection and Run-off Property Liability segments comprise Property-Liability. The Company does not allocate investment income, net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, or assets to the Allstate Protection and Run-off Property Liability segments. Management reviews assets at the Property-Liability, Protection Services, Allstate Health and Benefits, and Corporate and Other levels for decision-making purposes.
Underwriting income is calculated as premiums earned and other revenue, less claims and claims expenses (“losses”), amortization of DAC, operating
costs and expenses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges as determined using GAAP.
Adjusted net income 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
•
Income tax expense or benefit on reconciling items
A reconciliation of these measures to net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders is provided below.

Portfolio monitoring and credit losses
Fixed income securitiesThe Company has a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security that may require a credit loss allowance.
For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate authority has made the decision to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets either of these criteria, any existing credit loss allowance would be written-off against the amortized cost basis of the asset along with any remaining unrealized losses, with incremental losses recorded in earnings.
If the Company has not made the decision to sell the fixed income security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether it expects to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The Company calculates the estimated recovery value based on the best estimate of future cash flows considering past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The estimated future cash flows are discounted at the security’s current effective rate and is compared to the amortized cost of the security.
The determination of cash flow estimates is inherently subjective, and methodologies may vary depending on facts and circumstances specific to the security. All reasonably available information relevant to the collectability of the security is considered when developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. That information generally includes, but is not limited to, the remaining payment terms of the security, prepayment speeds, the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer, expected defaults, expected recoveries, the value of underlying collateral, origination vintage year, geographic concentration of underlying collateral, available reserves or escrows, current subordination levels, third-party guarantees and other credit enhancements. Other information, such as industry analyst reports and forecasts, credit ratings, financial condition of the bond insurer for insured fixed income
securities, and other market data relevant to the realizability of contractual cash flows, may also be considered. The estimated fair value of collateral will be used to estimate recovery value if the Company determines that the security is dependent on the liquidation of collateral for ultimate settlement.
If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, a credit loss allowance is recorded in earnings for the shortfall in expected cash flows; however, the amortized cost, net of the credit loss allowance, may not be lower than the fair value of the security. The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other than credit remains classified in AOCI. If the Company determines that the fixed income security does not have sufficient cash flow or other information to estimate a recovery value for the security, the Company may conclude that the entire decline in fair value is deemed to be credit related and the loss is recorded in earnings.
When a security is sold or otherwise disposed or when the security is deemed uncollectible and written off, the Company removes amounts previously recognized in the credit loss allowance. Recoveries after write-offs are recognized when received. Accrued interest excluded from the amortized cost of fixed income securities totaled $435 million and $389 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is reported within the accrued investment income line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company monitors accrued interest and writes off amounts when they are not expected to be received.
The Company’s portfolio monitoring process includes a quarterly review of all securities to identify instances where the fair value of a security compared to its amortized cost is below internally established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of other credit loss indicators such as ratings, ratings downgrades and payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which the Company may have a concern, are evaluated for potential credit losses using all reasonably available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security. Inherent in the Company’s evaluation of credit losses for these securities are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer. Some of the factors that may be considered in evaluating whether a
18www.allstate.com
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
decline in fair value requires a credit loss allowance are: 1) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic location and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; 2) the specific reasons that
a security is in an unrealized loss position, including overall market conditions which could affect liquidity; and 3) the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost.

(3)Below investment grade fixed income securities include $90 million that have been in an unrealized loss position for a period of twelve or more consecutive months.
(4)Evaluated based on factors such as discounted cash flows and the financial condition and near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer and were determined to have adequate resources to fulfill contractual obligations.
Investment grade is defined as a security having a National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) designation of 1 or 2, which is comparable to a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s or AAA, AA, A or BBB from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), or a comparable internal rating if an externally provided rating is not available. Market prices for certain securities may have credit spreads which imply higher or lower credit quality than the current third-party rating. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities are principally related to an increase in market yields which may include increased risk-free interest rates or wider credit spreads since the time of initial purchase. The unrealized losses are expected to reverse as the securities approach maturity.
ABS in an unrealized loss position were evaluated based on actual and projected collateral losses relative to the securities’ positions in the respective securitization trusts, security specific expectations of cash flows, and credit ratings. This evaluation also takes into consideration credit enhancement, measured in terms of (i) subordination from other classes of securities in the trust that are contractually obligated to absorb losses before the class of security the Company owns, and (ii) the expected impact of other structural features embedded in the securitization trust beneficial to the class of securities the Company owns, such as overcollateralization and excess spread. Municipal bonds in an unrealized loss position were evaluated based on the underlying credit quality of the primary obligor, obligation type and quality of the underlying assets.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell fixed income securities with unrealized losses before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
Loans The Company establishes a credit loss allowance for mortgage loans and bank loans when they are originated or purchased, and for unfunded commitments unless they are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default model for mortgage loans and bank loans to estimate current expected credit losses that considers all relevant
information available including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts over the life of an asset. The Company also considers such factors as historical losses, expected prepayments and various economic factors. For mortgage loans the Company considers origination vintage year and property level information such as debt service coverage, property type, property location and collateral value. For bank loans, the Company considers the credit rating of the borrower, credit spreads and type of loan. After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company’s model reverts to historical loss trends.
Loans are evaluated on a pooled basis when they share similar risk characteristics. The Company monitors loans through a quarterly credit monitoring process to determine when they no longer share similar risk characteristics and are to be evaluated individually when estimating credit losses.
Loans are written off against their corresponding allowances when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. If a loan recovers after a write-off, the estimate of expected credit losses includes the expected recovery.
Accrual of income is suspended for loans that are in default or when full and timely collection of principal and interest payments is not probable. Accrued income receivable is monitored for recoverability and when not expected to be collected is written off through net investment income. Cash receipts on loans on non-accrual status are generally recorded as a reduction of amortized cost.
Accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost of loans and is reported within the accrued investment income line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Mortgage loans When it is determined a mortgage loan shall be evaluated individually, the Company uses various methods to estimate credit losses on individual loans such as using collateral value less estimated costs to sell where applicable, including when foreclosure is probable or when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. When collateral value is used, the mortgage loans may not have a credit loss allowance when the fair value of the collateral exceeds the loan’s amortized cost. An alternative approach may be utilized to estimate credit losses using the present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows discounted at the loan’s current effective interest rate. Individual loan credit loss allowances are adjusted
for subsequent changes in the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, when applicable, or present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows.
Debt service coverage ratio is considered a key credit quality indicator when mortgage loan credit loss allowances are estimated. Debt service coverage ratio represents the amount of estimated cash flow from the property available to the borrower to meet principal and interest payment obligations. Debt service coverage ratio estimates are updated annually or more frequently if conditions are warranted based on the Company’s credit monitoring process.

Mortgage loans with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.0 that are not considered impaired primarily relate to situations where the borrower has the financial capacity to fund the revenue shortfalls from the properties for the foreseeable term, the decrease in cash flows from the properties is considered
temporary, or there are other risk mitigating factors such as additional collateral, escrow balances or borrower guarantees. Payments on all mortgage loans were current as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Credit ratings of the borrower are considered a key credit quality indicator when bank loan credit loss allowances are estimated. The ratings are either received from the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC based on availability of applicable ratings from rating agencies on the NAIC credit rating provider list or a comparable internal rating. The year of origination is determined to be the year in which the asset is acquired.

Note 5
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company can access.
Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
(a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
(b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
(c)Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.
The availability of observable inputs varies by instrument. In situations where fair value is based on internally developed pricing models or inputs that are unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is typically greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In many instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments.
The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company gains assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued through the execution of various processes and controls designed to ensure the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies, including inputs and assumptions, and compliance with accounting standards. For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company’s processes and controls are designed to ensure that the valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistently applied, the inputs and assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded. For example, on a continuing basis, the Company assesses the reasonableness of individual fair values that have stale security prices or that exceed certain thresholds as compared to
22www.allstate.com
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
previous fair values received from valuation service providers or brokers or derived from internal models. The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies, processes and controls of valuation service providers.
In addition, the Company may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. The Company performs ongoing price validation procedures such as back-testing of actual sales, which corroborate the various inputs used in internal models to market observable data. When fair value determinations are expected to be more variable, the Company validates them through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investment transactions.
The Company has two types of situations where investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:
(1)Specific inputs significant to the fair value estimation models are not market observable. This primarily occurs in the Company’s use of broker quotes to value certain securities where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable, and the use of valuation models that use significant non-market observable inputs.
(2)Quotes continue to be received from independent third-party valuation service providers and all significant inputs are market observable; however, there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset when compared to normal market activity such that the degree of market observability has declined to a point where categorization as a Level 3 measurement is considered appropriate. The indicators considered in determining whether a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for a specific asset has occurred include the level of new issuances in the primary market, trading volume in the secondary market, the level of credit spreads over historical levels, applicable bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants and other pricing sources.
Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including mortgage loans, bank loans and policy loans and are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the individual investment is reported at fair value.
In determining fair value, the Company principally uses the market approach which generally utilizes market transaction data for the same or similar instruments. To a lesser extent, the Company uses the income approach which involves determining fair values from discounted cash flow methodologies. For the majority of Level 2 and Level 3 valuations, a combination of the market and income approaches is used.
Summary of significant inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Level 2 measurements
•Fixed income securities:
U.S. government and agencies, municipal, corporate - public and foreign government: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
Corporate - privately placed:Privately placed are valued using a discounted cash flow model that is widely accepted in the financial services industry and uses market observable inputs and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow model include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets in markets that are not active that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.
Corporate - privately placed also includes redeemable preferred stock that are valued using quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, underlying stock prices and credit spreads.
ABS:The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, collateral performance and credit spreads. Certain ABS are valued based on non-binding broker quotes whose inputs have been corroborated to be market observable. Residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), included in ABS, use prepayment speeds as a primary input for valuation.
•Equity securities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.
•Short-term: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.
•Other investments: Free-standing exchange listed derivatives that are not actively traded are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in markets that are not active.
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, total return swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, certain options and certain credit default swaps, are valued using models that rely on inputs such as interest rate yield curves, implied volatilities, index price levels, currency rates, and credit spreads that are observable for substantially the full term of the contract. The valuation techniques underlying the models are widely accepted in the financial

services industry and do not involve significant judgment.
Level 3 measurements
•Fixed income securities:
Municipal:Comprise municipal bonds that are not rated by third-party credit rating agencies. The primary inputs to the valuation of these municipal bonds include quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not market observable, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Also included are municipal bonds valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable and municipal bonds in default valued based on the present value of expected cash flows.
Corporate - public and privately placed and ABS: Primarily valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable. Other inputs for corporate fixed income securities include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.
•Equity securities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets that are not market observable.
•Short-term: For certain short-term investments, amortized cost is used as the best estimate of fair value.
•Other investments: Certain OTC derivatives, such as interest rate caps, certain credit default swaps and certain options (including swaptions), are valued using models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry. These are categorized as Level 3 as a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs such as volatility. Other primary inputs include interest rate yield curves and credit spreads, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements.
•Other assets: Includes the contingent consideration provision in the sale agreement for ALIC which meets the definition of a derivative. This derivative is valued internally using a model that includes stochastically determined cash flows and inputs that include spot and forward interest rates, volatility, corporate credit spreads and a liquidity discount. This derivative is categorized as Level 3 due to the significance of non-market observable inputs.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Comprise long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including real estate, that are written down to fair value less costs to sell and bank loans written down to fair value in connection with recognizing other-than-temporary impairments.
Investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy
Limited partnerships carried at fair value, which do not have readily determinable fair values, use NAV provided by the investees and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not redeemable by the investees and generally cannot be sold without approval of the general partner. The Company receives distributions of income and proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying assets of the investees, which usually takes place in years 4-9 of the typical contractual life of 10-12 years. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has commitments to invest $197 million in these limited partnership interests.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Level 3 fair value measurements of fixed income securities total $132 million and $173 million, respectively, and include $27 million and $70 million, respectively, of securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable and $11 million and $21 million, respectively, of municipal fixed income securities that are not rated by third-party credit rating agencies. As the Company does not develop the Level 3 fair value
unobservable inputs for these fixed income securities, they are not included in the table above. However, an increase (decrease) in credit spreads for fixed income securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes would result in a lower (higher) fair value, and an increase (decrease) in the credit rating of municipal bonds that are not rated by third-party credit rating agencies would result in a higher (lower) fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivatives for risk reduction and to increase investment portfolio returns through asset replication. Risk reduction activity is focused on managing the risks with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impacts from changes in risk-free interest rates, changes in equity market valuations, increases in credit spreads and foreign currency fluctuations.
Asset replication refers to the “synthetic” creation of assets through the use of derivatives. The Company replicates fixed income securities using a combination of a credit default swap, index total return swap, options, futures, or a foreign currency forward contract and one or more highly rated fixed income securities, primarily investment grade host bonds, to synthetically replicate the economic characteristics of one or more cash market securities. The Company replicates equity securities using futures, index total return swaps, and options to increase equity exposure.
Property-Liability may use interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures and options to manage the interest rate risks of existing investments. These instruments are utilized to change the duration of the portfolio in order to offset the economic effect that interest rates would otherwise have on the fair value of its fixed income securities. Fixed income index total return swaps are used to offset valuation losses in the fixed income portfolio during periods of declining market values. Credit default swaps are typically used to mitigate the credit risk within the Property-Liability fixed income portfolio. Equity index total return swaps, futures and options are used by Property-Liability to offset valuation losses in the equity portfolio during periods of declining equity market values. In addition, equity futures are used to hedge the market risk related to deferred compensation liability contracts. Forward contracts are primarily used by Property-Liability to hedge foreign currency risk associated with

holding foreign currency denominated investments and foreign operations.
In 2022, the Company also had derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that were required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of embedded derivatives reported in net income.
When derivatives meet specific criteria, they may be designated as accounting hedges and accounted for as fair value, cash flow, foreign currency fair value or foreign currency cash flow hedges.
The notional amounts specified in the contracts are used to calculate the exchange of contractual payments under the agreements and are generally not representative of the potential for gain or loss on these agreements. However, the notional amounts specified in credit default swaps where the Company has sold credit protection represent the maximum amount of potential loss, assuming no recoveries.
Fair value, which is equal to the carrying value, is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the derivative contracts at the reporting date. The carrying value amounts for OTC derivatives are further adjusted for the effects, if any, of enforceable master netting agreements and are presented on a net basis, by counterparty agreement, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
For those derivatives which qualify and have been designated as fair value accounting hedges, net income includes the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged risk. For cash flow hedges, gains and losses are amortized from AOCI and are reported in net income in the same period the forecasted transactions being hedged impact net income.
Non-hedge accounting is generally used for “portfolio” level hedging strategies where the terms of the individual hedged items do not meet the strict homogeneity requirements to permit the application of hedge accounting. For non-hedge derivatives, net income includes changes in fair value and accrued periodic settlements, when applicable. With the exception of non-hedge derivatives used for asset replication and non-hedge embedded derivatives, all of the Company’s derivatives are evaluated for their ongoing effectiveness as either accounting hedge or non-hedge derivative financial instruments on at least a quarterly basis.
In connection with the sale of ALIC and certain affiliates in 2021, the sale agreement included a provision related to contingent consideration that may be earned over a ten-year period with the first potential payment date commencing on January 1, 2026 and a final potential payment date of January 1, 2035. The contingent consideration is determined annually based on the average 10-year Treasury rate over the preceding 3-year period compared to a designated rate. The contingent consideration meets the definition of a derivative and is accounted for on a fair value basis with periodic changes in fair value reflected in earnings. There are no collateral requirements related to the contingent consideration.

The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by utilizing highly rated counterparties, establishing risk control limits, executing legally enforceable master netting agreements (“MNAs”) and obtaining collateral where appropriate. The Company uses MNAs for OTC derivative transactions that permit either party to net payments due for transactions and collateral is either pledged or obtained when certain predetermined exposure limits are exceeded.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has not incurred any losses on derivative financial instruments due to counterparty nonperformance. Other derivatives, including futures and certain option contracts, are traded on organized exchanges which require margin deposits and guarantee the execution of trades, thereby mitigating any potential credit risk.
Counterparty credit exposure represents the Company’s potential loss if all of the counterparties concurrently fail to perform under the contractual terms of the contracts and all collateral, if any, becomes worthless. This exposure is measured by the fair value of OTC derivative contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date reduced by the effect, if any, of legally enforceable master netting agreements.

Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk exists for all of the derivative financial instruments the Company currently holds, as these instruments may become less valuable due to adverse changes in market conditions. To limit this risk, the Company’s senior management has established risk control limits. In addition, changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments that the Company uses for risk management purposes are generally offset by the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged risk component of the related assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.
Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions contain credit-risk-contingent termination events and cross-default provisions. Credit-risk-contingent termination events allow the counterparties to terminate the derivative agreement or a specific trade on certain dates if AIC’s financial strength credit ratings by Moody’s or S&P fall below a certain level. Credit-risk-contingent cross-default provisions allow the counterparties to terminate the derivative agreement if the Company defaults by pre-determined threshold amounts on certain debt instruments.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments with termination, cross-default or collateral credit-risk-contingent features that are in a liability position, as well as the fair value of assets and collateral that are netted against the liability in accordance with provisions within legally enforceable MNAs.

Note 7
Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated VIEs, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, primarily include Adirondack Insurance Exchange, a New York reciprocal insurer, and New Jersey Skylands Insurance Association, a New Jersey reciprocal insurer (together “Reciprocal Exchanges”). The Reciprocal Exchanges are insurance carriers organized as unincorporated associations. The Company does not own the equity of the Reciprocal Exchanges, which is owned by their respective policyholders.
The Company manages the business operations of the Reciprocal Exchanges and has the power to direct their activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. The Company receives a management fee for the services provided to the Reciprocal Exchanges. In addition, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company holds interests of $123 million in the form of surplus notes included in other liabilities and expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Reciprocal Exchanges that
Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 33
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
provide capital to the Reciprocal Exchanges and would absorb any expected losses. The Company is therefore the primary beneficiary. In addition, the Company provides quota share reinsurance on the property business of the Reciprocal Exchanges.
In the event of dissolution, policyholders would share any residual unassigned surplus but are not subject to assessment for any deficit in unassigned surplus of the Reciprocal Exchanges. The assets of the Reciprocal Exchanges can be used only to settle the obligations of the Reciprocal Exchanges and general creditors have no recourse to the Company.
The results of operations of the Reciprocal Exchanges are included in the Company’s Allstate Protection segment and generated $57 million and $114 million of earned premiums for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $41 million and $83 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Total costs and expenses were $85 million and $144 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $55 million and $113 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 8
Reserve for Property and Casualty Insurance Claims and Claims Expense
The Company establishes reserves for claims and claims expense on reported and unreported claims of insured losses. The Company’s reserving process takes into account known facts and interpretations of circumstances and factors including the Company’s experience with similar cases, actual claims paid, historical trends involving claim payment patterns and pending levels of unpaid claims, loss management programs, product mix and contractual terms, changes in law and regulation, judicial decisions, and economic conditions.
When the Company experiences changes in the mix or type of claims or changing claim settlement patterns or data, it applies actuarial judgment in the determination and selection of development factors to develop reserve liabilities. Supply chain disruptions and inflation have resulted in higher part costs, used car values and longer time to claim resolution, which have combined with labor shortages to increase physical damage loss costs. Medical inflation, treatment trends, attorney representation, litigation costs and more severe accidents have contributed to higher third-party bodily injury loss costs. The Company has also digitized and modified claim processes to increase effectiveness and efficiency. These factors may lead to historical development trends being less predictive of future loss development, potentially creating additional reserve variability.
Generally, the initial reserves for a new accident year are established based on claim frequency and severity assumptions for different business segments,
lines and coverages based on historical relationships to relevant inflation indicators. Reserves for prior accident years are statistically determined using different actuarial estimation methods. Changes in auto claim frequency may result from changes in mix of business, driving behaviors, miles driven or other factors. Changes in auto current year claim severity are generally influenced by inflation in the medical and auto repair sectors, the effectiveness and efficiency of claim settlements and changes in mix of claim types. When changes in claim data occur, actuarial judgment is used to determine appropriate development factors to establish reserves. The Company’s reserving process incorporates changes in loss patterns, operational statistics and changes in claims reporting processes to determine its best estimate of recorded reserves.
As part of the reserving process, the Company may also supplement its claims processes by utilizing third-party adjusters, appraisers, engineers, inspectors, and other professionals and information sources to assess and settle catastrophe and non-catastrophe related claims. The effects of inflation are implicitly considered in the reserving process.
Because reserves are estimates of unpaid portions of losses that have occurred, including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses, the establishment of appropriate reserves, including reserves for catastrophes, Run-off Property-Liability and reinsurance and indemnification recoverables, is an inherently uncertain and complex process. The
34www.allstate.com
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
ultimate cost of losses may vary materially from recorded amounts, which are based on management’s best estimates.
The highest degree of uncertainty is associated with reserves for losses incurred in the initial reporting period as it contains the greatest proportion of losses that have not been reported or settled as well as heightened uncertainty for claims that involve litigation or take longer to settle during periods of rapidly increasing loss costs. The Company also has uncertainty in the Run-off Property-Liability reserves that are based on events long since passed and are complicated by lack of historical data, legal interpretations, unresolved legal issues and legislative intent based on establishment of facts.
The Company regularly updates its reserve estimates as new information becomes available and as events unfold that may affect the resolution of unsettled claims. Changes in reserve estimates, which may be material, are reported in property and casualty insurance claims and claims expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period such changes are determined.
Management believes that the reserve for property and casualty insurance claims and claims expense, net of recoverables, is appropriately established in the aggregate and adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of reported and unreported claims arising from losses which had occurred by the date of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position based on available facts, laws and regulations.

(1)Recoverables comprises reinsurance and indemnification recoverables.
Incurred claims and claims expense represents the sum of paid losses, claim adjustment expenses and reserve changes in the period. This expense included losses from catastrophes of $4.39 billion and $1.57 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, net of recoverables.
Catastrophes are an inherent risk of the property and casualty insurance business that have contributed to, and will continue to contribute to, material year-to-year fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Significant assumptions To determine mortality and morbidity assumptions, the Company uses a combination of Company historical experience and industry data. Mortality and morbidity are monitored throughout the year. Historical experience is obtained through annual Company experience studies in the third quarter that consider the Company’s historical claim patterns. The lapse assumption is determined based on historical lapses of the Company’s insurance contracts.

Capital Structure
Repayment of debt On March 29, 2023, the Company repaid, at maturity, $250 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes that bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.63% per year. On June 15, 2023, the Company repaid, at maturity, $500 million of 3.15% Senior Notes.
Issuance of debt On March 31, 2023, the Company issued $750 million of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2033. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2023. The Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the applicable redemption price prior to the maturity date. The net proceeds of this issuance were used to repay the $500 million senior debt maturity and for general corporate purposes.
Redemption of preferred stock On April 17, 2023, the Company redeemed all 23,000 shares of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series G, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share, and the corresponding depositary shares for a total redemption payment of $575 million. The Company recognized $18 million of original issuance costs in preferred stock dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity.
Issuance of preferred stock On May 18, 2023, the Company issued 24,000 shares of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series J, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share, and the corresponding depositary shares for gross proceeds of $600 million. The preferred stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. The preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option in whole or in part, on or after July 15, 2028 at a redemption price of $25,000 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends. Prior to July 15, 2028, the preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the occurrence of certain rating agency events at a redemption price equal to $25,500 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends, or in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the occurrence of a regulatory capital event, at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends.
LIBOR-linked debt Interest on the 5.100% Subordinated Debentures is payable quarterly at the stated fixed annual rate to January 14, 2023, or any earlier redemption date, and then at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.165%. Interest on the 5.750% Subordinated Debentures is payable semi-annually at the stated fixed annual rate to August 14, 2023, or any earlier redemption date, and then quarterly at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.938%. The Company may elect to defer payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures for one or more consecutive interest periods that do not exceed five years. During a deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the
Subordinated Debentures at the then-applicable rate and deferred interest will compound on each interest payment date. If all deferred interest on the Subordinated Debentures is paid, the Company can again defer interest payments.
The administrator of LIBOR ceased the publication of the one week and two month U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR settings since December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings ceased following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The Subordinated Debentures allow for the use of an alternative methodology to determine the interest rate if LIBOR is no longer available. The Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that implemented the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act on December 16, 2022. This guidance impacts the alternative rate methodology utilized by the Subordinated Debentures.
Both Subordinated Debentures will replace the three-month LIBOR with the CME Term SOFR Reference Rate published for a three-month tenor plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161% effective for interest paid under the terms of each of the Subordinated Debentures after June 30, 2023, as shown in the table below.

Company Restructuring
The Company undertakes various programs to reduce expenses. These programs generally involve a reduction in staffing levels, and in certain cases, office closures. Restructuring and related charges primarily include the following costs related to these programs:
•Employee- severance and relocation benefits
•Exit - contract termination penalties and real estate costs primarily related to accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and related leasehold improvements at facilities to be vacated
The expenses related to these activities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as restructuring and related charges and
totaled $27 million and $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $54 million and $13 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Restructuring expenses during the second quarter and first six months of 2023 are primarily due to real estate costs related to facilities being vacated and employee costs related to global workforce enablement, including outsourcing various elements of operations. The Company continues to identify ways to improve operating efficiency and reduce cost which may result in additional restructuring charges in the future.

Note 14
Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities
Shared markets and state facility assessments
The Company is required to participate in assigned risk plans, reinsurance facilities and joint underwriting associations in various states that provide insurance coverage to individuals or entities that otherwise are unable to purchase such coverage from private insurers.
The Company routinely reviews its exposure to assessments from these plans, facilities and government programs. Underwriting results related to these arrangements, which tend to be adverse, have been immaterial to the Company’s results of operations in the last two years. Because of the Company’s participation, it may be exposed to losses that surpass the capitalization of these facilities or assessments from these facilities.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard indemnifications to contractual counterparties in connection with numerous transactions, including acquisitions and divestitures. The types of indemnifications typically provided include indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties, taxes and certain other liabilities, such as third-party lawsuits. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration and nature. In many cases, the maximum obligation is not explicitly stated and the
contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. Consequently, the maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications is not determinable. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these obligations.
Related to the sale of ALNY on October 1, 2021, AIC agreed to indemnify Wilton Reassurance Company in connection with certain representations, warranties and covenants of AIC, and certain liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction, subject to specific contractual limitations regarding AIC’s maximum obligation. Management does not believe these indemnifications will have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
Related to the sale of ALIC and Allstate Assurance Company on November 1, 2021, AIC and Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation (collectively, the “Sellers”) agreed to indemnify Everlake US Holdings Company in connection with certain representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers, and certain liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction, subject to specific contractual limitations regarding the Sellers’ maximum obligation. Management does not believe these indemnifications will have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
The aggregate liability balance related to all guarantees was not material as of June 30, 2023.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Regulation and compliance
The Company is subject to extensive laws, regulations, administrative directives, and regulatory actions. From time to time, regulatory authorities or legislative bodies seek to influence and restrict premium rates, require premium refunds to policyholders, require reinstatement of terminated policies, prescribe rules or guidelines on how affiliates compete in the marketplace, restrict the ability of insurers to cancel or non-renew policies, require insurers to continue to write new policies or limit their ability to write new policies, limit insurers’ ability to change coverage terms or to impose underwriting standards, impose additional regulations regarding agency and broker compensation, regulate the nature of and amount of investments, impose fines and penalties for unintended errors or mistakes, impose additional regulations regarding cybersecurity and privacy, and otherwise expand overall regulation of insurance products and the insurance industry. In addition, the Company is subject to laws and regulations administered and enforced by federal agencies, international agencies, and other organizations, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the U.S. Department of Justice. The Company has established procedures and policies to facilitate compliance with laws and regulations, to foster prudent business operations, and to support financial reporting. The Company routinely reviews its practices to validate compliance with laws and regulations and with internal procedures and policies. As a result of these reviews, from time to time the Company may decide to modify some of its procedures and policies. Such modifications, and the reviews that led to them, may be accompanied by payments being made and costs being incurred. The ultimate changes and eventual effects of these actions on the Company’s business, if any, are uncertain.
Legal and regulatory proceedings and inquiries
The Company and certain subsidiaries are involved in a number of lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings arising out of various aspects of its business.
Background These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including the underlying facts of each matter; novel legal issues; variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, heard, or investigated; changes in assigned judges; differences or developments in applicable laws and judicial interpretations; judges reconsidering prior rulings; the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement, through litigation, or otherwise; adjustments with respect to anticipated trial schedules and other proceedings; developments in similar actions against other companies; the fact that some of the lawsuits are putative class actions in which a class has not been certified and in which the purported class may not be clearly defined; the fact that some of the
lawsuits involve multi-state class actions in which the applicable law(s) for the claims at issue is in dispute and therefore unclear; and the challenging legal environment faced by corporations and insurance companies.
The outcome of these matters may be affected by decisions, verdicts, and settlements, and the timing of such decisions, verdicts, and settlements, in other individual and class action lawsuits that involve the Company, other insurers, or other entities and by other legal, governmental, and regulatory actions that involve the Company, other insurers, or other entities. The outcome may also be affected by future state or federal legislation, the timing or substance of which cannot be predicted.
In the lawsuits, plaintiffs seek a variety of remedies which may include equitable relief in the form of injunctive and other remedies and monetary relief in the form of contractual and extra-contractual damages. In some cases, the monetary damages sought may include punitive or treble damages. Often specific information about the relief sought, such as the amount of damages, is not available because plaintiffs have not requested specific relief in their pleadings. When specific monetary demands are made, they are often set just below a state court jurisdictional limit in order to seek the maximum amount available in state court, regardless of the specifics of the case, while still avoiding the risk of removal to federal court. In Allstate’s experience, monetary demands in pleadings bear little relation to the ultimate loss, if any, to the Company.
In connection with regulatory examinations and proceedings, government authorities may seek various forms of relief, including penalties, restitution, and changes in business practices. The Company may not be advised of the nature and extent of relief sought until the final stages of the examination or proceeding.
Accrual and disclosure policy The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for such matters at management’s best estimate when the Company assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not establish accruals for such matters when the Company does not believe both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s assessment of whether a loss is reasonably possible or probable is based on its assessment of the ultimate outcome of the matter following all appeals. The Company does not include potential recoveries in its estimates of reasonably possible or probable losses. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
The Company continues to monitor its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings for further developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and estimable, and accordingly accruable, or that could affect the amount
Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 43
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
of accruals that have been previously established. There may continue to be exposure to loss in excess of any amount accrued. Disclosure of the nature and amount of an accrual is made when there have been sufficient legal and factual developments such that the Company’s ability to resolve the matter would not be impaired by the disclosure of the amount of accrual.
When the Company assesses it is reasonably possible or probable that a loss has been incurred, it discloses the matter. When it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any, for the matters disclosed, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed. Disclosure is not required when an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made.
For certain of the matters described below in the “Claims related proceedings” and “Other proceedings” subsections, the Company is able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any. In determining whether it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, the Company reviews and evaluates the disclosed matters, in conjunction with counsel, in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments.
These developments may include information learned through the discovery process, rulings on dispositive motions, settlement discussions, information obtained from other sources, experience from managing these and other matters, and other rulings by courts, arbitrators or others. When the Company possesses sufficient appropriate information to develop an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed below. There may be other disclosed matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, but such an estimate is not possible. Disclosure of the estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any, for any individual matter would only be considered when there have been sufficient legal and factual developments such that the Company’s ability to resolve the matter would not be impaired by the disclosure of the individual estimate.
The Company currently estimates that the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if any, for the disclosed matters where such an estimate is possible is zero to $70 million, pre-tax. This disclosure is not an indication of expected loss, if any. Under accounting guidance, an event is “reasonably possible” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely” and an event is “remote” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.” This estimate is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimate will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. The estimate does not include matters or losses for which an estimate is not possible. Therefore, this estimate represents an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent
the Company’s maximum possible loss exposure. Information is provided below regarding the nature of all of the disclosed matters and, where specified, the amount, if any, of plaintiff claims associated with these loss contingencies.
Due to the complexity and scope of the matters disclosed in the “Claims related proceedings” and “Other proceedings” subsections below and the many uncertainties that exist, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted and in the Company’s judgment, a loss, in excess of amounts accrued, if any, is not probable. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in one or more of these matters, the ultimate liability may be in excess of amounts currently accrued, if any, and may be material to the Company’s operating results or cash flows for a particular quarterly or annual period. However, based on information currently known to it, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all matters described below, as they are resolved over time, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
Claims related proceedings The Company is managing various disputes in Florida that raise challenges to the Company’s practices, processes, and procedures relating to claims for personal injury protection benefits under Florida auto policies. Medical providers continue to pursue litigation under various theories that challenge the amounts that the Company pays under the personal injury protection coverage, seeking additional benefit payments, as well as applicable interest, penalties and fees. There is a pending lawsuit, Revival Chiropractic v. Allstate Insurance Company, et al. (M.D. Fla. filed January 2019; appeal pending, 11th Circuit Court of Appeals), where the federal district court denied class certification and plaintiff’s request to file a renewed motion for class certification. In Revival, on June 2, 2022, the 11th Circuit certified to the Florida Supreme Court Allstate’s appeal of the federal district court’s interpretation of the state personal injury protection statute. The 11th Circuit is holding determination on plaintiff’s class certification appeal pending the outcome of the Florida Supreme Court certification. The oral argument before the Florida Supreme Court was on March 8, 2023. The Company is also defending litigation involving individual plaintiffs.
The Company is defending putative class actions in various courts that raise challenges to the Company’s depreciation practices in homeowner property claims. In these lawsuits, plaintiffs generally allege that, when calculating actual cash value, the costs of “non-materials” such as labor, general contractor’s overhead and profit, and sales tax should not be subject to depreciation. The Company is currently defending the following lawsuits on this issue: Sims, et al. v. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company, et al. (W.D. Tex. filed June 2022); Thompson, et al. v. Allstate Insurance Company (Circuit Court of Cole Co., Mo. filed June 2022); Hill v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (Circuit Court of Cole Co., Mo. filed October 2022); Tabuga v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (D. Md. filed April 2023); and Shumway, et al. v. Allstate Vehicle and

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Property Insurance Company (D. Ariz. filed April 2023). No classes have been certified in any of these matters. The court granted preliminary approval of a class-wide settlement in the following cases: Perry v. Allstate Indemnity Company, et al. (N.D. Ohio filed May 2016); Lado v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (S.D. Ohio filed March 2020); Maniaci v. Allstate Insurance Company (N.D. Ohio filed March 2020); Ferguson-Luke, et al. v. Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company (N.D. Ohio filed April 2020); Mitchell, et al. v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company, et al. (S.D. Ala. filed August 2021). The court granted final approval of a class-wide settlement in Hester, et al. v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company, et al. (St. Clair Co., Ill. filed June 2020) (as part of the class-wide settlement, the plaintiff and defendant in Thaxton v. Allstate Indemnity Company (Madison Co., Ill. filed July 2020) were added to the Hester complaint).
The Company is defending putative class actions pending in multiple states alleging that the Company underpays total loss vehicle physical damage claims on auto policies. The alleged systematic underpayments result from the following theories: (a) the third party valuation tool used by the Company as part of a comprehensive adjustment process is allegedly flawed, biased, or contrary to applicable law; and/or (b) the Company allegedly does not pay sales tax, title fees, registration fees, and/or other specified fees that are allegedly mandatory under policy language or state legal authority.
The following cases are currently pending against the Company: Kronenberg v. Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (E.D.N.Y. filed December 2018); Durgin v. Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company (W.D. La. filed June 2019); Cotton v. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (Cir. Ct. of Cook Co. Ill., Chancery Div. filed October 2020); Bass v. Imperial Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (W.D. La. filed February 2022); Cummings v. Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company (M.D. La. filed April 2022); Slaughter v. Esurance Property and Casualty Insurance Company (Cir. Ct. of Cook Co, Ill., Chancery Div. filed September 2022); Kanak v. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (Cir. Ct. of Cook Co., Ill., Chancery Div. filed September 2022); Golla v. Allstate Insurance Company (Ct. of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio filed June 2023); and Moore v. Esurance Property and Casualty Insurance Company (E.D. Mich. filed July 2023).
None of the courts in any of the pending matters has ruled on class certification.
Other proceedings The Company has pending an investigatory hearing before the California Insurance Commissioner concerning the private passenger automobile insurance rating practices of Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Indemnity Company in California. The investigatory hearing is captioned: In the Matter of the Rating Practices of Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Indemnity Company. Pursuant to the Notice of Hearing issued by the California Insurance Commissioner, the California Insurance
Commissioner is investigating: (1) whether Allstate has potentially violated California insurance law by using illegal price optimization; (2) how Allstate implemented any such potentially illegal price optimization in its private passenger auto insurance rates and/or class plans; and (3) how such potentially illegal price optimization impacted Allstate’s private passenger auto insurance policyholders. Fact discovery was completed in the investigatory hearing. Allstate and the California Department of Insurance have reached an agreement in principle to resolve the investigatory hearing. The May 22, 2023 hearing was continued. A new hearing date has not been set.
Inre The Allstate Corp. Securities Litigation is a certified class action filed on November 11, 2016 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company and two of its officers asserting claims under the federal securities laws. Plaintiffs allege that they purchased Allstate common stock during the class period and suffered damages as the result of the conduct alleged. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages, costs, attorney’s fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. Plaintiffs allege that the Company and certain senior officers made allegedly material misstatements or omissions concerning claim frequency statistics and the reasons for a claim frequency increase for Allstate brand auto insurance between October 2014 and August 3, 2015.
Plaintiffs further allege that a senior officer engaged in stock option exercises during that time allegedly while in possession of material nonpublic information about Allstate brand auto insurance claim frequency. The Company, its chairman, president and chief executive officer, and its former president are the named defendants. After the court denied their motion to dismiss on February 27, 2018, defendants answered the complaint, denying plaintiffs’ allegations that there was any misstatement or omission or other misconduct. On June 22, 2018, plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification. The court allowed the lead plaintiffs to amend their complaint to add the City of Providence Employee Retirement System as a proposed class representative and on September 12, 2018, the amended complaint was filed. A class was certified on March 26, 2019, vacated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on July 16, 2020 and remanded for further consideration by the district court. On December 21, 2020, the district court again granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and certified a class consisting of all persons who purchased Allstate common stock between October 29, 2014 and August 3, 2015. Defendants’ petition for permission to appeal this ruling was denied on January 28, 2021. Following the close of discovery, defendants moved for summary judgment on March 23, 2022. On July 26, 2022, the court entered its order granting summary judgment in part (as to plaintiffs’ claims relating to certain statements made in October 2014) and denying it as to the remainder of plaintiffs’ claims. On January 10, 2023, the parties filed a joint pre-trial order. A pre-trial conference has not occurred. Subsequently, on June 28, 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the action, without
Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 45
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
any admission of liability or wrongdoing. The settlement is subject to final approval by the District Court and any appeals therefrom.
The Company is continuing to defend two putative class actions in California federal court, Holland Hewitt v. Allstate Life Insurance Company (E.D. Cal. filed May 2020) and Farley v. Lincoln Benefit Life Company (E.D. Cal. filed Dec. 2020), following the sale of ALIC. On April 19, 2023, the court certified a class in Farley. This ruling is currently being challenged by the Company. There has been no ruling on plaintiff’s motion for class certification in Hewitt. In these cases, plaintiffs generally allege that the defendants failed to comply with certain California statutes which address
contractual grace periods and lapse notice requirements for certain life insurance policies. Plaintiffs claim that these statutes apply to life insurance policies that existed before the statutes’ effective date. The plaintiffs seek damages and injunctive relief. Similar litigation is pending against other insurance carriers. In August 2021, the California Supreme Court in McHugh v. Protective Life, a matter involving another insurer, determined that the statutory notice requirements apply to life insurance policies issued before the statutes’ effective date. The Company asserts various defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and to class certification.

Remeasurement gains for the second quarter of 2023 are primarily related to an increase in the liability discount rate, partially offset by unfavorable asset performance compared to expected return on plan assets. Remeasurement gains in the first six months of 2023 are primarily related to favorable asset performance compared to expected return on plan assets, partially offset by a decrease in the liability discount rate.
The weighted average discount rate used to measure the pension benefit obligation increased to 5.50% at June 30, 2023 compared to 5.33% at March 31,
2023 and decreased compared to 5.64% at December 31, 2022 resulting in gains for the second quarter and losses for the first six months of 2023.
For the second quarter of 2023, the actual return on plan assets was lower than the expected return due to lower fixed income valuations from higher market yields during the quarter partially offset by higher equity returns. For the first six months of 2023, the actual return on plan assets was higher than the expected return due to higher fixed income valuations from lower market yields and positive equity returns.

The Allstate Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Allstate Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and shareholders’ equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended prior to the retrospective adjustment for a change in the Company’s method of accounting for reserve for future policy benefits and deferred policy acquisition costs for long-duration insurance contracts (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 16, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 1 that were applied to retrospectively adjust the December 31, 2022, consolidated statement of financial position of the Company (not presented herein). In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated statement of financial position in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of the interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing the consolidated financial position and results of operations of The Allstate Corporation (referred to in this document as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “Allstate”). It should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto found under Part I. Item 1. contained herein, and with the discussion, analysis, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part I. Item 1. and Part II. Item 7. and Item 8. of The Allstate Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for 2022, filed February 16, 2023. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Further analysis of our insurance segments is provided in the Property-Liability Operations and Segment Results sections, including Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability, Protection Services and Allstate Health and Benefits, of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). The segments are consistent with the way in which the chief operating decision maker reviews financial performance and makes decisions about the allocation of resources.
Macroeconomic Impacts
The Novel Coronavirus Pandemic or COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”) and subsequent U.S. government fiscal and monetary policies, banking system instability and the Russia/Ukraine conflict have and may continue to affect economic activity through longer-term impacts such as supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and other macroeconomic factors that have increased inflation and affected our operations. These factors may continue to significantly affect results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The impact from the pandemic and the ongoing effects should be considered when comparing the current period to prior periods.
Over the past several quarters, inflation continued to remain elevated, which led to increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve and a widening of credit spreads reflecting ongoing recession concerns. Many foreign governmental authorities and central banks have also responded to inflationary pressure, generally through more restrictive monetary policy, such as increasing target interest rates. These actions and other ongoing impacts from the pandemic could create significant economic uncertainty. Market volatility resulting from these factors and from disruptions in the banking industry have and may continue to impact our investment valuations and returns.
This is not inclusive of all potential impacts and should not be treated as such. Within the MD&A, we have included further disclosures related to macroeconomic impacts on our 2023 results.
Corporate Strategy
Our strategy has two components: increase personal property-liability market share and expand protection offerings by leveraging the Allstate brand, customer base and capabilities.
Transformative Growth is about creating a business model, capabilities and culture that continually transform to better serve customers. This is done by providing affordable, simple and connected protection through multiple distribution methods. The ultimate objective is to create continuous transformative growth in all businesses.
In the personal property-liability businesses this has five key components:
•Improving customer value
•Expanding customer access
•Increasing sophistication and investment in customer acquisition
•Modernizing the technology ecosystem
•Driving organizational transformation
We are expanding protection services businesses utilizing enterprise capabilities and resources such as the Allstate brand, distribution, analytics, claims, investment expertise, talent and capital.
Measuring segment profit or loss
The measure of segment profit or loss used in evaluating performance is underwriting income for the Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability segments and adjusted net income for the Protection Services, Allstate Health and Benefits and Corporate and Other segments.
Underwriting income is calculated as premiums earned and other revenue, less claims and claims expense (“losses”), amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), operating costs and expenses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges, as determined using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use this measure in our evaluation of results of operations to analyze profitability.
Adjusted net income 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
•
Income tax expense or benefit on reconciling items

Q1
Q2
Consolidated net loss applicable to common shareholders was $1.39 billion and $1.74 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to a loss of $1.04 billion and $406 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and higher incurred losses driven by severity and frequency, partially offset by increased Property-Liability premiums earned and gains on equity valuations in 2023 compared to losses in 2022.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, return on Allstate common shareholders’ equity was (17.2)%.
Total revenue
($ in millions)
Total revenues increased 14.4% to $13.98 billion and increased 13.1% to $27.77 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022 due to an increase of 9.8% and 10.3% in property and casualty insurance premiums earned in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2022 and net gains on equity valuations in 2023 compared to losses in 2022.
Net investment income
($ in millions)
Net investment income increased $48 million to $610 million in the second quarter of 2023 and increased $29 million to $1.19 billion in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to higher market-based income reflecting higher fixed income portfolio yields and investment balances, partially offset by lower performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnerships.
Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 51
Financial highlights
Investments totaled $63.67 billion as of June 30, 2023, increasing from $61.83 billion as of December 31, 2022.
Allstate shareholders’ equity was $15.52 billion as of June 30, 2023, decreasing from $17.49 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to a net loss, dividends paid to shareholders and common share repurchases, partially offset by lower unrealized net capital losses on investments.
Book value per diluted common share (ratio of Allstate common shareholders’ equity to total common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding) was $51.29, a decrease of 22.2% from $65.96 as of June 30, 2022, and a decrease of 11.8% from $58.12 as of December 31, 2022.
Return on average Allstate common shareholders’ equity For the twelve months ended June 30, 2023, return on Allstate common shareholders’ equity was (17.2)%, a decrease of 21.4 points from 4.2% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a net loss applicable to common shareholders for the trailing twelve-month period ending June 30, 2023 and a decrease in average Allstate common shareholders’ equity.
Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and lossesWe recorded pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains of $40 million in the second quarter primarily related to an increase in the liability discount rate, partially offset by unfavorable asset performance compared to expected return on plan assets. We recorded gains of $93 million in the first six months of 2023 primarily related to favorable asset performance compared to expected return on plan assets, partially offset by a decrease in the liability discount rate.

Segment highlights
Allstate Protection underwriting loss was $2.09 billion in the second quarter of 2023 compared to underwriting loss of $861 million in the second quarter of 2022. Underwriting loss totaled $3.09 billion in the first six months of 2023 compared to underwriting loss of $579 million in the first six months of 2022. The higher losses in both periods was primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe losses primarily for auto insurance, partially offset by
increased premiums. We are executing a comprehensive plan to improve auto insurance profitability, by raising rates, reducing operating expenses and advertising, implementing underwriting restrictions in underperforming states and enhancing claims processes to manage loss costs.
Catastrophe losses were $2.70 billion and $4.39 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to $1.11 billion and $1.57

billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively.
Premiums written increased 9.7% to $12.62 billion and 9.6% to $24.40 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, reflecting higher premiums in both Allstate and National General brands.
Protection Services adjusted net income was $41 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $43 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income was $75 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to $96 million in the first six months of 2022. The decrease in both periods was due to Allstate Protection Plans higher appliance and furniture claim severity, a shift in business mix and lower third-party advertising sales by Arity, partially offset by improved margins at Allstate Roadside.
Premiums and other revenue increased 9.3% or $54 million and 8.6% or $99 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to Allstate Protection Plans and Allstate Dealer Services.
Allstate Health and Benefits adjusted net income was $57 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $67 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income was $113 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to $124 million in the first six months of 2022. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to a decline in employer voluntary benefits and individual health, partially offset by growth in group health.
Premiums and contract charges decreased 2.6% to $453 million in the second quarter of 2023 and decreased 1.8% to $916 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to a decline in individual health and employer voluntary benefits, partially offset by growth in group health.
Adopted accounting standard
Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) guidance revising the accounting for certain long-duration insurance contracts using the modified retrospective approach to the transition date of January 1, 2021.
Under the new guidance, measurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy lapses, are required to be reviewed at least annually, and updated as appropriate. In addition, reserves under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield that is updated through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) at each reporting date. Additionally, DAC for all long-duration products are amortized on a simplified basis. Our reserve for future policy benefits and DAC are subject to new disclosure guidance.
In addition, the Company met the conditions included in Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-05, Transition for Sold Contracts, and elected to not apply the new guidance for contracts that were part of the 2021 sales of Allstate Life Insurance Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York.

The decrease in AOCI was primarily attributable to a change in the discount rate used in measuring the reserve for future policy benefits for traditional life contracts and other long-term products with guaranteed terms from a portfolio-based rate at contract issuance to an upper-medium grade fixed income-based rate at the transition date. The decrease in retained income primarily related to certain cohorts of long-term contracts whose expected net premiums exceeded expected gross premiums which resulted in an increase in reserves and a decrease in retained income equal to the present value of expected future benefits less the present value of expected future premiums at the transition date.
See Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the impact of the adopted accounting standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 53
Property-Liability Operations
Property-Liability Operations
Overview Property-Liability operations consist of two reportable segments: Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability. These segments are consistent with the groupings of financial information that management uses to evaluate performance and to determine the allocation of resources.
We do not allocate Property-Liability investment income, net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, or assets to the Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability segments. Management reviews assets at the Property-Liability level for decision-making purposes.
GAAP operating ratios are used to measure our profitability to enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial results and are calculated as follows:
•Loss ratio: the ratio of claims and claims expense (loss adjustment expenses), to premiums earned. Loss ratios include the impact of catastrophe losses and prior year reserve reestimates.
•Expense ratio: the ratio of amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges, less other revenue to premiums earned.
•Combined ratio: the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio.
We have also calculated the following impacts of specific items on the GAAP operating ratios because of the volatility of these items between periods. The impacts are calculated by taking the specific items noted below divided by Property-Liability premiums earned:
•Effect of catastrophe losses on combined ratio: includes catastrophe losses and prior year reserve reestimates of catastrophe losses included in claims and claims expense
•Effect of prior year reserve reestimates on combined ratio
•Effect of amortization of purchased intangibles on combined ratio
•Effect of restructuring and related charges on combined ratio
•Effect of Run-off Property-Liability business on combined ratio: includes claims and claims expense, restructuring and related charges and operating costs and expenses in the Run-off Property-Liability segment
Premium measures and statistics are used to analyze our premium trends and are calculated as follows:
•PIF: policy counts are based on items rather than customers. A multi-car customer would generate multiple item (policy) counts, even if all cars were insured under one policy. Commercial lines PIF counts for shared economy agreements typically reflect contracts that cover multiple rather than individual drivers. Lender-placed policies are excluded from policy counts because relationships are with the lenders.
•New issued applications: item counts of automobile or homeowner insurance applications for insurance policies that were issued during the period, regardless of whether the customer was previously insured by another Allstate brand.
•Average premium-gross written (“average premium”): gross premiums written divided by issued item count. Gross premiums written include the impacts from discounts, surcharges and ceded reinsurance premiums and exclude the impacts from mid-term premium adjustments and premium refund accruals. Average premiums represent the appropriate policy term for each line.
•Renewal ratio: renewal policy item counts issued during the period, based on contract effective dates, divided by the total policy item counts issued generally 6 months prior for auto or 12 months prior for homeowners.
•Implemented rate changes: represents the impact in the locations (U.S. states, the District of Columbia or Canadian provinces) where rate changes were implemented during the period as a percentage of total brand prior year-end premiums written.
Frequency and severity statistics, which are influenced by driving patterns, inflation and other factors, are provided to describe the trends in loss costs. Our reserving process incorporates changes in loss patterns, operational statistics and changes in claims reporting processes to determine our best estimate of recorded reserves. We use the following statistics to evaluate losses:
•Gross claim frequency is calculated as annualized notice counts, excluding counts associated with catastrophe events, received in the period divided by the average of PIF with the applicable coverage during the period. Gross claim frequency includes all actual notice counts, regardless of their current status (open or closed) or their ultimate disposition (closed with a payment or closed without payment).

Property-Liability Operations
•Report year incurred claim severityis calculated by dividing the sum of recorded estimated incurred losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses, excluding catastrophes, by the reported notice counts during that report year. Report year incurred claim severity does not include incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses or benefits from subrogation and salvage.
•Paid claim severityis calculated by dividing the sum of paid losses and loss expenses by claims closed with a payment during the period.
•Percent change in frequency or paid claim severity statistics are calculated as the amount of increase or decrease in gross claim frequency or paid claim severity in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year, divided by the prior year gross claim frequency or paid claim severity.
•Percent change in report year incurred claim severity statistic is calculated as the amount of increase or decrease in report year incurred claim severity recorded in the year-to-date period divided by the current estimate of the prior report year incurred claim severity.

Underwriting loss was $2.09 billion and $3.09 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to underwriting loss of $861 million and $579 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, due to higher catastrophe losses and non-catastrophe losses primarily for auto insurance, partially offset by increased premiums. We are executing a comprehensive plan to improve auto insurance profitability, by raising rates, reducing operating expenses and advertising, implementing underwriting restrictions in underperforming states and enhancing claims processes to manage loss costs.

Premium measures and statistics include PIF, new issued applications, average premiums and renewal ratio to analyze our premium trends. Premiums writtenis the amount of premiums charged for policies issued during a reporting period. Premiums are considered earned and are included in the financial results on a pro-rata basis over the policy period. The portion of premiums written applicable to the unexpired term of the policies is recorded as unearned premiums on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Auto insurance premiums written increased 10.7% or $799 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and 10.6% or $1.59 billion in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022, primarily due to the following factors:
•Increased average premiums driven by rate increases primarily taken in 2022. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2023:
–Rate increases of 9.7% were taken for Allstate brand in 47 locations, resulting in total Allstate brand insurance premium impact of 7.5%
–Rate increases of 9.8% were taken for National General brand in 38 locations, resulting in total National General brand insurance premium impact of 5.5%
•We expect to continue to pursue rate increases for both Allstate and National General brands throughout 2023 to improve auto insurance profitability
•PIF decreased 2.6% or 672 thousand to 25,520 thousand as of June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022
•Renewal ratio decreased 2.0 and 1.9 points in the second quarter and the first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2022
•Decreased new issued applications driven by the direct and exclusive agency channels, partially offset by growth in the independent agency channel
•The impact of the ongoing rate increases and temporary reductions in advertising have and may continue to have an adverse effect on the renewal ratio, premiums and future PIF growth

Homeowners insurance premiums writtenincreased 12.4% or $373 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased 11.8% or $626 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022, primarily due to the following factors:
•Higher Allstate brand average premiums from implemented rate increases primarily taken in 2022 and inflation in insured home replacement costs, combined with policies in force growth
•In the six months ended June 30, 2023, rate increases of 13.4% were taken for Allstate brand in 34 locations, resulting in total Allstate brand insurance premium impact of 7.4%
•National General policy growth is expected to be negatively impacted in future quarters as we improve underwriting margins to targeted levels through underwriting and rate actions. In the six
months ended June 30, 2023, rate increases of 20.0% were taken for National General brand in 15 locations, resulting in total National General brand insurance premium impact of 5.3%
•Decreased new issued applications in the direct and exclusive agency channels, partially offset by growth in the independent agency channel
•Policy growth is being reduced in states and lines of business that are underperforming. We are no longer writing new homeowners business in California and Florida, and we may take further actions to reduce our exposure, which have and will continue to negatively impact premiums
•The impact of the ongoing rate increases and temporary reductions in advertising have and may continue to have an adverse effect on the renewal ratio, premiums and future PIF growth

Segment Results Allstate Protection
Other personal lines premiums written increased 10.8% or $66 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased 9.9% or $110 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022, primarily due to increases in landlords and condominiums for Allstate brand. We are no longer writing condominium new business in California and Florida, we are non-renewing certain policies in Florida, and we may take further actions to reduce exposure in Florida, which will continue to negatively impact premiums.
Commercial lines premiums written decreased 32.7% or $97 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and decreased 27.7% or $164 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022, due to profitability actions taken to no longer offer
coverage to transportation network companies unless the contracts utilize telematics-based pricing and the Allstate brand exiting traditional commercial insurance in five states, with non-renewals for those states beginning in 2023.
Other business lines premiums written decreased 24.0% or $30 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and decreased 10.2% or $25 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022.

Frequency and severity are influenced by:
•Supply chain disruptions and labor shortages
•Value of total losses due to higher used car prices
•Labor and part cost increases
•Changes in commuting activity
•Driving behavior (e.g., speed, time of day) impacting severity and mix of claim types
•Organizational and process changes impacting claim opening and closing practices and shifts in timing, if any, can impact comparisons to prior periods
The quarterly auto loss ratio has been more variable due to these and additional factors discussed below.
Auto loss ratio increased 3.0 and 4.4 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022. Estimated report year 2023 incurred claim severity for Allstate brand, excluding Esurance and Canada, had a weighted average increase of 11% compared to report year 2022 for major coverages due to higher part costs and labor rates for repairable vehicles, a higher mix of total losses, an increase in claims with attorney representation, higher medical consumption, and inflation. Gross claim frequency increased but remains below pre-pandemic levels. We are enhancing our
claims practices to manage loss costs by increasing resources and expanding re-inspections, accelerating resolution of bodily injury claims, and negotiating improved vendor services and parts agreements.
Homeowners loss ratio increased 40.5 and 38.5 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and severity, partially offset by increased premiums earned.

due to inflationary loss cost pressure driven by increases in labor and materials costs. Homeowner 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 ratioincreased 18.6 and 20.1 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and increased severity, partially offset by increased premiums earned.
Commercial lines loss ratiodecreased 21.7 and 3.9 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to the result of profitability actions taken and less unfavorable reserve reestimates, partially offset by continued elevated frequency and severity.
Other business lines loss ratio increased 16.6 and 14.3 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses.
Catastrophe lossesincreased $1.59 billion to $2.70 billion in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased $2.82 billion to $4.39 billion in the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022, primarily related to an increased number of wind/hail events and larger losses per event. The catastrophe losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2023 represent the highest and second highest level for the respective periods in the Company’s history.
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 our participation in various state facilities.

Catastrophe reinsurance
Our current catastrophe reinsurance program supports the Company’s risk tolerance framework which utilizes a modeled 1-in-100 annual aggregate limit for catastrophe losses from hurricanes,
earthquakes and wildfires of $2.5 billion, net of reinsurance.
These reinsurance agreements are part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide our shareholders with an acceptable return on the risks assumed in our property business, and to

reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to our customers.
During the second quarter of 2023, we completed the placement of our 2023-2024 Florida Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance Program (“Florida program”) and the National General Lender Services Standalone Program. Additionally, we placed four single-year term contracts as part of our 2023-2024 Nationwide Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance Program, which provide $120 million of coverage.
Florida program updates Our 2023 Florida program provides coverage for property policies of Castle Key Insurance Company and certain affiliate companies for Florida catastrophe events up to $1.29 billion of loss less a $40 million retention. The Florida program includes reinsurance agreements placed in the traditional market, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), the Florida Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders Program (“RAP”) and the insurance-linked securities (“ILS”) market as follows:
•Traditional market placements comprise reinsurance limits for losses to personal lines property in Florida arising out of multiple perils. These contracts provide a combined $695 million of limits, with a portion of the traditional market placements providing coverage for perils not covered by the FHCF and RAP contracts, which only cover hurricanes.
•Three FHCF contracts provide $330 million of limits for qualifying losses to personal lines property in Florida caused by storms the National Hurricane Center declares to be hurricanes. The three contracts are 90% placed.
•Three RAP contracts provide $49 million of limits for qualifying losses to personal lines property in Florida caused by storms the National Hurricane Center declares to be hurricanes. The three contracts are 90% placed.
•ILS placements provide $620 million of reinsurance limits for qualifying losses to personal lines property in Florida caused by a named storm event, a severe weather event, an earthquake event, a fire event, a volcanic eruption event, or a meteorite impact event.
National General Lender Services Standalone Program is placed in the traditional market and provides $255 million of coverage, subject to a $60 million retention, with one reinstatement of limits. Inuring contracts include the National General Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund contract providing $64 million of limits in excess of a $33 million retention, 90% placed, and the National General RAP Contract providing $10 million of limits in excess of a $24 million retention, 90% placed.
For a complete summary of the 2023 reinsurance placement, please read this in conjunction with the discussion and analysis in Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Allstate Protection Segment Results, Catastrophe Reinsurance of The Allstate Corporation Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023.
The total cost of our property catastrophe reinsurance programs, excluding reinstatement premiums, during the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was $242 million and $461 million, respectively, compared to $173 million and $317 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively. Catastrophe placement premiums reduce net written and earned premium with approximately 75% of the reduction related to homeowners premium.
Prior year reserve reestimates Unfavorable reserve reestimates were $212 million and $195 million in the second quarter and the first six months of 2023, respectively, primarily due to National General personal auto lines, primarily injury coverages, and unfavorable reserve reestimates in homeowners lines.
For a more detailed discussion on reinsurance and reserve reestimates, see Note 8 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Results Allstate Protection
Expense ratio decreased 2.5 and 2.7 points in the second quarter and the first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the second quarter and the first six months of 2022, primarily due to higher earned premium growth relative to fixed costs, and lower advertising, agent and employee-related costs.

Total net reserves as of June 30, 2023, included $700 million or 50% of estimated IBNR reserves compared to $765 million or 53% of estimated IBNR reserves as of December 31, 2022.
Total gross payments were $24 million and $53 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to $16 million and $41 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively. Payments for both periods primarily related to settlement agreements reached with several insureds on large claims, mainly asbestos related losses, where the scope of coverages has been agreed upon. The claims associated with these settlement agreements are expected to be substantially paid out over the next several years as qualified claims are submitted by these insureds. Reinsurance collections were $9 million and $24 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to $11 million and $21 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively.

Adjusted net income decreased 4.7% or $2 million in the second quarter of 2023 and decreased 21.9% or $21 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, due to Allstate Protection Plans higher appliance and furniture claim severity, a shift in business mix and lower third-party advertising sales by Arity, partially offset by improved margins at Allstate Roadside.
Premiums written decreased 1.8% or $12 million in the second quarter of 2023 and decreased 1.8% or $23 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in sales at Allstate Dealer Services and lower rescue volumes at Allstate Roadside, partially offset by growth at Allstate Protection Plans.
PIF increased 0.7% or 1 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 due to an increase in Allstate Protection Plans.
Other revenue decreased 7.7% or $7 million in the second quarter of 2023 and decreased 9.2% or $17 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to lower revenue from reductions in customer advertising at Arity.
Intersegment premiums and service fees decreased 7.9% or $3 million in the second quarter of 2023 and decreased 13.9% or $11 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, driven by decreased device sales for the Drivewise® offering at Arity due to a shift from devices to a mobile phone program.
Claims and claims expense increased 19.5% or $25 million in the second quarter 2023 and increased 21.9% or $55 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily driven by growth in the business and higher severity at both Allstate Protection Plans and Allstate Dealer Services, partially offset by lower frequency at Allstate Protection Plans.

(1) Balances reflect the elimination of related party investments between segments.
(2) Fixed income securities are carried at fair value. Amortized cost, net for these securities was $42.05 billion, $1.90 billion, $1.73 billion, $2.23 billion and $47.90 billion for Property-Liability, Protection Services, Allstate Health and Benefits, Corporate and Other, and in total, respectively.
(3) Equity securities are carried at fair value. The fair value of equity securities held as of June 30, 2023, was $59 million in excess of cost. These net gains were primarily concentrated in the technology, banking and consumer goods sectors. Equity securities include $1.09 billion of funds with underlying investments in fixed income securities as of June 30, 2023.
(4) Short-term investments are carried at fair value.
Investments totaled $63.67 billion as of June 30, 2023, increasing from $61.83 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to higher fixed income and equity valuations and positive operating cash flows, partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders and common share repurchases.
Portfolio composition by investment strategy We utilize two primary strategies to manage risks and returns and to position our portfolio to take advantage of market opportunities while attempting to mitigate adverse effects. As strategies and market conditions evolve, the asset allocation may change.
Market-basedstrategy seeks to deliver predictable earnings aligned to business needs and provide
flexibility to adjust investment risk profile based on enterprise objectives and market opportunities primarily through public and private fixed income investments and public equity securities.
Performance-basedstrategy seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns and supplement market risk with idiosyncratic risk primarily through investments in private equity, including infrastructure investments, and real estate with a majority being limited partnerships. These investments include investee level expenses, reflecting asset level operating expenses on directly held real estate and other consolidated investments.

Fixed income securities are rated by third-party credit rating agencies or are internally rated. The Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the fixed income securities of insurers for regulatory reporting and capital assessment purposes. The NAIC assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories defined as “NAIC designations”. In general, securities with NAIC designations of 1 and 2 are considered investment grade and securities with NAIC designations of 3 through 6 are considered below investment grade. The rating is either received from the SVO based on availability of applicable ratings from rating agencies on the NAIC Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO”) provider list, including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or a comparable internal rating.
As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents, and the completion of the SVO filing process, the portfolio includes certain securities that have not yet been designated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date and the categorization of these securities is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.
As of June 30, 2023, 91.2% of the consolidated fixed income securities portfolio was rated investment grade. Credit ratings below these designations are considered lower credit quality or below investment grade, which includes high yield bonds.
Market prices for certain securities may have credit spreads which imply higher or lower credit quality than the current third-party rating. Our initial investment decisions and ongoing monitoring procedures for fixed income securities are based on a due diligence process which includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of the credit quality, sector, structure, and liquidity risks of each issuer.
Fixed income portfolio monitoring is a comprehensive process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security that may require a credit loss allowance. The process includes a quarterly review of all securities to identify instances where the fair value of a security compared to its amortized cost is below internally established thresholds. For further detail on our fixed income portfolio monitoring process, see Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net investment income increased $48 million and $29 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to higher market-based results driven by reinvesting into fixed income securities with higher yields and to a lesser extent, the reinvestment of proceeds from sales of equity securities into fixed income securities, partially offset by lower performance-based results, mainly from limited partnerships.

(1)Investee level expenses include asset level operating expenses on directly held real estate and other consolidated investments reported in investment expense.
Performance-based investment income decreased $109 million and $289 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to lower valuation increases and lower net gains on the sales of underlying investments.
Performance-based investment results and income can vary significantly between periods and are
influenced by economic conditions, equity market performance, comparable public company earnings multiples, capitalization rates, operating performance of the underlying investments and the timing of asset sales. The Company typically employs a lag in recording and recognizing changes in valuations of limited partnership interests due to the availability of investee financial statements.

(1)Relates to limited partnerships where the underlying assets are predominately public equity securities.
Net losses on investments and derivatives in the second quarter of 2023 related primarily to losses on sales and credit losses, partially offset by higher valuation on equity investments. Net losses in the first six months of 2023 related primarily to losses on sales and valuation change and settlements of derivatives, partially offset by higher valuation on equity investments.
Net losses on sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 related primarily to sales of fixed income securities in connection with ongoing portfolio management.
Net losses on valuation change and settlements of derivatives were $7 million and $59 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively. Losses in the second quarter of 2023 primarily related to net losses on equity futures used to mitigate impacts to equity exposure, partially offset by net gains on rate futures used to manage duration. Losses in the first six months of 2023 primarily related to losses on credit default swaps used to reduce credit risk, net losses on equity futures used to mitigate impacts to equity exposure and losses on interest rate futures used to manage duration.

Allstate shareholders’ equity decreased in the first six months of 2023, primarily due to a net loss, dividends paid to shareholders and common share repurchases, partially offset by lower unrealized net capital losses on investments. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid dividends of $459 million and $53 million related to our common and preferred shares, respectively.
Repayment of debt On March 29, 2023, the Company repaid, at maturity, $250 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes that bear interest at a floating rate equal to three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.63% per year. On June 15, 2023, the Company repaid, at maturity, $500 million of 3.15% Senior Notes.
Issuance of debt On March 31, 2023, the Company issued $750 million of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2033. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2023. The Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the applicable redemption price prior to the maturity date. The net proceeds of this issuance were used to repay the $500 million senior debt maturity and for general corporate purposes.

Redemption of preferred stock On April 17, 2023, the Company redeemed all 23,000 shares of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series G, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation preference $25,000 per share, and the corresponding depositary shares for a total redemption payment of $575 million. The Company recognized $18 million of original issuance costs in preferred stock dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity.
Issuance of preferred stockOn May 18, 2023, the Company issued 24,000 shares of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series J, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share, and the corresponding depositary shares for gross proceeds of $600 million. The preferred stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. The preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option in whole or in part, on or after July 15, 2028 at a redemption price of $25,000 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends. Prior to July 15, 2028, the preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole but not in part, within 90 days of the occurrence of certain rating agency events at a redemption price equal to $25,500 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends, or in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the occurrence of a regulatory capital event, at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends.
Common share repurchases As of June 30, 2023, there was $495 million remaining in the $5.00 billion common share repurchase program. In July, we suspended repurchasing shares under the current authorization. The authorization for the share repurchase program expires in March 2024.
During the first six months of 2023, we repurchased 2.6 million common shares, or 1.0% of total common shares outstanding at December 31, 2022, for $307 million.
Common shareholder dividends On January 3, 2023 and April 3, 2023, we paid a common shareholder dividend of $0.85 and $0.89, respectively. On May 22, 2023, we declared a common shareholder dividend of $0.89 payable on July 3, 2023.
Financial ratings and strength Our ratings are influenced by many factors including our operating and financial performance, asset quality, liquidity, overall portfolio mix, financial leverage (i.e., debt), exposure to risks such as catastrophes and the current level of operating leverage. The preferred stock and subordinated debentures are viewed as having a common equity component by certain rating agencies and are given equity credit up to a pre-determined limit in our capital structure as determined by their
78www.allstate.com
Capital Resources and Liquidity
respective methodologies. These respective methodologies consider the existence of certain terms and features in the instruments such as the noncumulative dividend feature in the preferred stock.
In March 2023, Moody’s affirmed the A3 and P-2 senior debt and short-term issuer ratings of The Allstate Corporation (the “Corporation”) and the Aa3 insurance financial strength ratings of Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”). The rating outlook for Allstate was changed from stable to negative.
In March 2023, A.M. Best placed under review with negative implications the B+ insurance financial strength rating of the members of Castle Key Group (Castle Key Insurance Company, Castle Key Indemnity Company, Encompass Floridian Insurance Company, Encompass Floridian Indemnity Company).
In May 2023, S&P affirmed the Corporation’s debt and short-term issuer ratings of A- and A-2, respectively, and the insurance financial strength rating of AA- for AIC. The outlook for the ratings is negative.
Liquidity sources and uses We actively manage our financial position and liquidity levels in light of changing market, economic and business conditions. Liquidity is managed at both the entity and enterprise level across the Company and is assessed on both base and stressed level liquidity needs. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet these needs. Additionally, we have existing intercompany agreements in place that facilitate liquidity management across the Company to enhance flexibility.
The Corporation is party to an Amended and Restated Intercompany Liquidity Agreement (“Liquidity Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries, which includes, but is not limited to AIC. The Liquidity Agreement allows for short-term advances of funds to be made between parties for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. The Liquidity Agreement does not establish a commitment to advance funds on the part of any party. AIC serves as a lender and borrower, certain other subsidiaries serve only as borrowers, and the Corporation serves only as a lender. The maximum amount of potential funding under each of these agreements is $1.00 billion.
In addition to the Liquidity Agreement, the Corporation also has an intercompany loan agreement with certain of its subsidiaries, which includes, but is not limited to, AIC. The amount of intercompany loans available to the Corporation’s subsidiaries is at the discretion of the Corporation. The maximum amount of loans the Corporation will have outstanding to all its eligible subsidiaries at any given point in time is limited to $1.00 billion. The Corporation may use commercial paper borrowings, bank lines of credit and securities lending to fund intercompany borrowings.
Parent company capital capacity At the parent holding company level, we have deployable assets totaling $3.28 billion as of June 30, 2023, primarily comprised of cash and investments that are generally saleable within one quarter. The earnings capacity of
the operating subsidiaries is the primary source of capital generation for the Corporation.
As of June 30, 2023, we held $15.32 billion of cash, U.S. government and agencies fixed income securities, public equity securities, and short-term investments, which we would expect to be able to liquidate within one week.
Intercompany dividends of $40 million were paid from American Heritage Life Insurance Company to Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation in the first six months of 2023.
Based on the greater of 2022 statutory net income or 10% of statutory surplus, the maximum amount of dividends that AIC will be able to pay, without prior Illinois Department of Insurance approval, at a given point in time through February 2024, is estimated at $1.22 billion, less dividends paid during the preceding twelve months measured at that point in time. As of June 30, 2023, no dividends have been paid.
Dividends may not be paid or declared on our common stock and shares of common stock may not be repurchased unless the full dividends for the latest completed dividend period on our preferred stock have been declared and paid or provided for.
The terms of our outstanding subordinated debentures also prohibit us from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on our common or preferred stock or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring, or making liquidation payments on our common stock or preferred stock if we have elected to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures, subject to certain limited exceptions. In the first six months of 2023, we did not defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures.
Additional resources to support liquidity are as follows:
•The Corporation and AIC have access to a $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for short-term liquidity requirements. The maturity date of this facility is November 2027. The facility is fully subscribed among 11 lenders with the largest commitment being $95 million. The commitments of the lenders are several and no lender is responsible for any other lender’s commitment if such lender fails to make a loan under the facility. This facility contains an increase provision that would allow up to an additional $500 million of borrowing, subject to the lenders’ commitment. This facility has a financial covenant requiring that we not exceed a 37.5% debt to capitalization ratio as defined in the agreement. This ratio was 24.4% as of June 30, 2023. Although the right to borrow under the facility is not subject to a minimum rating requirement, the costs of maintaining the facility and borrowing under it are based on the ratings of our senior unsecured, unguaranteed long-term debt. There were no borrowings under the credit facility during 2023.
•To cover short-term cash needs, the Corporation has access to a commercial paper facility with a
Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 79
Capital Resources and Liquidity
borrowing capacity limited to any undrawn credit facility balance up to $750 million.
•As of June 30, 2023, there were no balances outstanding for the credit facility or the commercial paper facility and therefore the remaining borrowing capacity was $750 million.
•The Corporation has access to a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that expires in 2024. We can use this shelf registration to issue an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock (including 638 million shares of treasury stock as of June 30, 2023), preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units and securities of trust subsidiaries. The specific terms of any securities we issue under this registration statement will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplements.
