Allstate Q3 2024 Earnings Report
Allstate demonstrated strong financial performance driven by revenue growth and improved underwriting results.
Key Takeaways
Allstate reported strong third-quarter results with a significant increase in net income and adjusted net income, driven by improved Property-Liability underwriting results and revenue growth. The company's focus on near-term performance and long-term growth strategies contributed to these positive outcomes.
Total revenues increased by 14.7% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by increased Property-Liability earned premium.
Net income applicable to common shareholders was $1.2 billion, a significant improvement from the prior year quarter's net loss.
The Property-Liability combined ratio improved to 96.4, reflecting higher average earned premiums and improved underlying loss experience.
Allstate Protection auto insurance results showed improved profitability due to successful execution of a comprehensive plan to restore margins.
Forward Guidance
Allstate is focused on increasing market share in personal Property-Liability and expanding protection solutions. The divestiture of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business is expected in the first half of 2025.
Positive Outlook
- Allstate Protection auto insurance new business sales increased 26% with increased advertising and expanded distribution.
- Homeowners insurance margins improved and policies in force are 2.5% higher than the prior year.
- Protection Plans expanded internationally and acquired Kingfisher to enhance mobile device protection capabilities.
- Operational excellence and implementation of the growth strategy will continue to create shareholder value.

Challenges Ahead
- Retention losses reflecting the impact of significant price increases over the last several years offset this growth resulting in a decline in auto policies in force.
