Allstate Q3 2021 Earnings Report
Key Takeaways
Allstate reported total revenues of $12.5 billion and net income of $508 million. Adjusted net income per share was $0.73. The company faced challenges in auto insurance due to supply chain disruptions and increased used car and parts prices, but strategic initiatives like Transformative Growth and catastrophe risk management benefited results.
Total revenues increased 16.9% to $12.5 billion, driven by higher earned premiums and increased net investment income.
Net income applicable to common shareholders decreased to $508 million, primarily due to lower underwriting income.
Adjusted net income decreased to $217 million, reflecting higher non-catastrophe losses in auto and homeowners insurance and increased catastrophe losses.
Transformative Growth strategy and National General acquisition contributed to cost reductions and market share growth.
