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

Consolidated net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders
($ in millions)
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 losses We 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 $916 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022, primarily due to a decline in individual health and employer voluntary benefits, partially offset by growth in group health.
Adopted accounting standard
Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) guidance revising the accounting for certain long-duration insurance contracts using the modified retrospective approach to the transition date of January 1, 2021.
Under the new guidance, measurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy lapses, are required to be reviewed at least annually, and updated as appropriate. In addition, reserves under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield that is updated through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) at each reporting date. Additionally, DAC for all long-duration products are amortized on a simplified basis. Our reserve for future policy benefits and DAC are subject to new disclosure guidance.
In addition, the Company met the conditions included in Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-05, Transition for Sold Contracts , and elected to not apply the new guidance for contracts that were part of the 2021 sales of Allstate Life Insurance Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York.
After-tax cumulative effect of change in accounting principle on transition date
($ in millions) January 1, 2021
Decrease in retained income $ 21
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.
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.

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).
54 www.allstate.com
Property-Liability Operations
• Report year incurred claim severity is 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 severity is 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.

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

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 ratio increased 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 ratio decreased 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 losses increased $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.

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.

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.

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-based strategy 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-based strategy 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.

Municipal bonds , including tax-exempt and taxable securities, include general obligations of state and local issuers and revenue bonds.
Corporate bonds include publicly traded and privately placed securities. Privately placed securities primarily consist of corporate issued senior debt securities that are negotiated with the borrower or are issued by public entities in unregistered form.
ABS includes collateralized debt obligations, consumer and other ABS. Credit risk is managed by monitoring the performance of the underlying collateral. Many of the securities in the ABS portfolio have credit enhancement with features such as overcollateralization, subordinated structures, reserve funds, guarantees or insurance. ABS also includes residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage back securities.
Equity securities of $2.29 billion primarily include common stocks, exchange traded and mutual funds, non-redeemable preferred stocks and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) equity investments. Certain exchange traded and mutual funds have fixed income securities as their underlying investments.
Mortgage loans of $823 million mainly comprise loans secured by first mortgages on developed commercial real estate. Key considerations used to manage our exposure include property type and geographic diversification. For further detail on our mortgage loan portfolio, see Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Limited partnership interests include $6.92 billion of interests in private equity funds, $1.06 billion of interests in real estate funds and $164 million of interests in other funds as of June 30, 2023. We have commitments to invest additional amounts in limited partnership interests totaling $2.74 billion as of June 30, 2023.
Other investments include $667 million of bank loans, net, and $825 million of direct investments in real estate as of June 30, 2023.

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.

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.

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

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.
