The bounceback in net income was mainly attributed to the improved property-liability underwriting numbers in the period.
Commenting on the insurer’s quarterly performance, chair, president, and chief executive Tom Wilson (pictured) said: “Allstate’s broad-based profitability reflects the benefits of strong operating capabilities, decisive actions to improve shareholder value, and lower catastrophe losses.
“Auto profitability was enhanced as a growing number of states achieved targeted margin levels in the quarter. Industry-leading home insurance capabilities, when combined with lower catastrophe losses, further improved profitability.
“Investment income increased primarily due to higher yields and extension of fixed-income maturities over the last 18 months. Revenues reached $15.3 billion for the quarter, increasing 10.7% compared to the prior year. Net income was $1.2 billion with adjusted net income of $5.13 per diluted common share.”
The CEO added: “Allstate’s strategy, operational expertise, people, and financial strength will enable us to continue creating value for customers and shareholders.”
