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 2025.
Further analysis of our insurance segments Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability, together Property-Liability Operations, and Protection Services, is provided in 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.
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 and Corporate segments. We use these measures in our evaluation of results of operations to analyze profitability.
Underwriting income (loss) 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 GAAP.
Adjusted net income (loss) 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
Macroeconomic impacts
Macroeconomic factors have and may continue to impact the results of our operations, financial condition and liquidity, such as U.S. government fiscal and monetary policies, major combat operations in Iran, the Russia/Ukraine conflict, supply chain disruptions, volatility in global energy markets and labor shortages. Increased oil prices may contribute to higher transportation, manufacturing and repair costs. If
sustained, these conditions may change claims frequency in auto coverages and may increase severity in auto and homeowners coverages and place additional pressure on operating costs and consumer affordability. We continue to monitor these conditions and reflect our current expectations in pricing and reserving; however, uncertainty remains regarding the extent and duration of these impacts.
Tariffs The U.S. implemented and continues to modify tariff measures and pursue additional trade actions, contributing to uncertainty in global trade policy, inflation and supply chains. These costs are embedded within overall claims severity and are influenced by energy and commodity input costs, supply chain conditions, labor availability and broader economic trends. We evaluate scenarios to understand the potential impact of tariffs on our businesses and incorporate estimates of the impact into our development of reserves for claims. The evolving and uncertain global trade environment makes it difficult to predict the full effect on our business, and it may take time for the impact of inflation to become evident. Adverse effects could include:
• Higher new and used vehicle pricing and replacement parts, increasing claims costs in Allstate Protection and Dealer Services
• Increases in building material costs, driving increases in homeowners claim costs
• Lack of availability of replacement parts from disruption in global trade broadly impacting all businesses
• Fewer auto new issued applications due to lower new and used vehicle sales
• Reduced demand in Dealer Services due to lower new vehicle sales
• Lower premiums written from reduced U.S. retail sales in Protection Plans
• Higher claims costs at Protection Plans
• Increased bad debt expense and credit allowance exposure as consumer financial conditions deteriorate
• Unfavorable impacts on investment valuations, liquidity and returns due to volatility in broader financial markets, interest rates and energy prices
This is not inclusive of all potential impacts and should not be treated as such.
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 a comprehensive plan to improve Allstate’s competitive position by providing affordable, simple and connected protection through multiple distribution methods. The ultimate objective is to enhance customer value to drive 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
• Deploying new technology ecosystems
• Driving organizational transformation
We are expanding Protection Services businesses internationally and by leveraging the Allstate brand, customer base and capabilities.
Financial Highlights
($ in millions)
Consolidated net income applicable to common shareholders increased $1.86 billion to $2.43 billion in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher underwriting income.
Total revenue increased 3.0% to $16.94 billion in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher auto and homeowners insurance policies in force and to a lesser extent homeowners premium rate increases.
Net investment income increased $84 million to $938 million in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher market-based investment results.
Financial highlights
Investments totaled $85.16 billion as of March 31, 2026, increasing from $83.24 billion as of December 31, 2025.
Allstate shareholders’ equity was $31.61 billion as of March 31, 2026, increasing from $30.61 billion as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to net income, partially offset by common share repurchases, unrealized net capital losses and dividends to shareholders.
Book value per diluted common share (ratio of Allstate common shareholders’ equity to total common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding) was $113.52 as of March 31, 2026, an increase of 52.2% from $74.61 as of March 31, 2025, and an increase of 4.7% from $108.45 as of December 31, 2025.
Return on average Allstate common shareholders’ equity for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, was 48.4%, an increase of 27.0 points from 21.4% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher net income applicable to common shareholders for the trailing twelve-month period ending March 31, 2026.

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.
For segment results, services provided by Protection Services to Allstate Protection are not eliminated as management considers those transactions in assessing the results of the respective segments. The effects of inter-segment transactions are eliminated in the consolidated results.
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 restructuring and related charges on combined ratio
• Effect of amortization of purchased intangibles 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. Lender-placed policies are excluded from policy counts.
• 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, typically six months for an auto policy and twelve months for a homeowners policy.
• 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 prior year-end premiums written.

(2) The ten-year average effect of first quarter homeowners catastrophe losses on the total homeowners combined ratio was 28.3 points.
Auto loss ratio decreased 8.7 points in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, driven by the benefit of prior year reserve releases, excluding catastrophes, and increased earned premiums. Estimated report year 2026 incurred claim severity for Allstate brand increased compared to report year 2025 for major coverages due to higher repair costs, mix of total loss frequency, medical inflation and attorney representation.
Homeowners loss ratio decreased 30.3 points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses and increased premiums earned. Gross claim frequency, excluding catastrophes, decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 while paid claim severity, excluding catastrophes, increased primarily due to fire perils. Homeowners 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 decreased 27.3 points in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to the benefit of prior year reserve releases, excluding catastrophes, lower catastrophe losses and increased premiums earned.
Commercial lines loss ratio decreased 2.0 points in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower losses, partially offset by a decrease in premiums earned.
Other business lines loss ratio decreased 13.8 points in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower catastrophe losses.
Catastrophe losses decreased $962 million to $1.24 billion in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Results in the first quarter of 2025 included $1.07 billion of losses related to the California wildfire events.
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 managing coverage, number of policies in force, utilizing reinsurance and participating in various state facilities.

Catastrophe reinsurance The catastrophe reinsurance program is part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide shareholders with long-term returns on the risks assumed in our property business, reduce earnings volatility, and provide protection to our customers. The current catastrophe reinsurance program supports our risk and return framework which incorporates robust economic capital modeling and is informed by catastrophe risk models including hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires. As of December 31, 2025, the modeled 1-in-100 annual aggregate probable maximum loss for hurricane, earthquake and wildfire perils was approximately $3.1 billion, net of reinsurance. We continually review our aggregate risk appetite and the cost and availability of reinsurance to optimize the risk and return profile of this exposure.
Similar to our 2025 program, our 2026 program includes coverage for losses to personal lines property, personal lines automobile, commercial lines property or commercial lines automobile arising out of multiple perils, in addition to hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires.
The total cost of our property catastrophe reinsurance programs, excluding reinstatement premiums, during the first quarter of 2026 was $308 million, compared to $257 million in the first quarter of 2025. Catastrophe placement premiums reduce net written and earned premium with approximately 83% of the reduction related to homeowners premium.

Prior year reserve reestimates Reserve reestimates, including catastrophes, decreased reserves by $1.00 billion in the first quarter of 2026.
Favorable auto severity, excluding catastrophes, emergence continued during the quarter, reflecting improved prior period loss development and better than expected claim outcomes. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, auto reserve releases included $675 million related to auto injury coverages and $163 million of other auto coverages.
Approximately 70% of the auto injury reserve releases relate to accident years 2023 and 2024. Approximately 90% of other auto reserve releases relate to physical damage coverage from accident years 2024 and 2025, with 97% of estimated ultimate losses paid as of March 31, 2026.

(2) Fixed income securities are carried at fair value. Amortized cost, net for these securities was $49.88 billion, $1.77 billion, $7.69 billion and $59.34 billion for Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability, Protection Services, Corporate and all other, and in total, respectively.
(3) Equity securities are carried at fair value. The fair value of equity securities held as of March 31, 2026, was $77 million in excess of cost. Equity securities include $2.21 billion of funds with underlying investments in fixed income and short-term securities as of March 31, 2026.
(4) Short-term investments are carried at fair value.
Investments totaled $85.16 billion as of March 31, 2026, increasing from $83.24 billion as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to operating cash flows.
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.
Macroeconomic impacts Strategic actions continued to focus on optimizing portfolio yield, risk and return amid evolving market and macroeconomic conditions. During the first quarter of 2026, the fixed income portfolio duration was extended to 5.7 years, inclusive of interest rate derivatives and security‑specific call features, compared to 5.1 years as of December 31, 2025, and equity securities increased by $2.03 billion.
Private credit exposure We define private credit as investments in asset-based financing arrangements, corporate credit excluding SEC Rule 144a and similar exposures, and certain consumer lending exposures. Our private credit investments are primarily originated by third-party asset managers with global credit platforms and are generally secured by collateral, with 89% rated investment grade. Mortgage loans primarily consist of residential loans, which are secured by collateral and have recourse to the borrower.
The following table reflects investments as of March 31, 2026 in private credit by investment type.

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 provider list, including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings 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 March 31, 2026, 92.2% 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
First Quarter 2026 Form 10-Q 55
Investments
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.
The following table presents total fixed income securities by the applicable NAIC designation and comparable S&P rating.

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.
MBS includes residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). RMBS is subject to interest rate risk, but unlike other fixed income securities, is additionally subject to prepayment risk from the
underlying residential mortgage loans. RMBS primarily consists of a U.S. Agency portfolio having collateral issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. CMBS investments are primarily traditional conduit transactions collateralized by commercial mortgage loans, broadly diversified across property types and geographical area.
Equity securities of $10.43 billion primarily include common stocks, exchange traded and mutual funds, non-redeemable preferred stocks and real estate investment trust (“REITs”) equity investments. Exchange traded and mutual funds that have fixed income and short-term securities as their underlying investments total $2.21 billion as of March 31, 2026.
Mortgage loans of $868 million comprise loans secured by first mortgages on developed commercial real estate of $603 million and residential mortgage loans of $265 million. 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 $7.23 billion of interests in private equity funds, $1.54 billion of interests in real estate funds and $183 million of interests in other funds as of March 31, 2026. We have
commitments to invest additional amounts in limited partnership interests totaling $3.20 billion as of March 31, 2026.
Other investments include $622 million of direct investments in real estate and $520 million of bank loans, net as of March 31, 2026.

In general, gross unrealized losses are related to an increase in market yields, which may include increased risk-free interest rates and wider credit spreads since the time of initial purchase. Similarly, gross unrealized gains reflect a decrease in market yields since the time of initial purchase.

(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 increased 5.6% or $11 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 primarily due to private equity valuation increases and higher real estate investment results.
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. As a result, performance-based income in the first quarter of 2026 is primarily comprised of operating and market performance and results of our investments for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and may not reflect all economic conditions, including the effects of recent and ongoing trade policy developments.

Common share repurchases In February 2026, the $1.50 billion common share repurchase program was completed. On February 4, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a new $4.00 billion common share repurchase program through February 2028, which commenced after the $1.50 billion program was completed.
During the first three months of 2026, we repurchased 3 million common shares, or 1.2% of total common shares outstanding at December 31, 2025, for $620 million.
Common shareholder dividends On January 2, 2026, we paid a common shareholder dividend of $1.00. On February 4, 2026, we declared a common shareholder dividend of $1.08 payable on April 1, 2026.
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.
There have been no changes to any of our ratings from A.M. Best, S&P or Moody’s since December 31, 2025.
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. As of March 31, 2026, we held $27.09 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.
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 Allstate Insurance Company (“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
First Quarter 2026 Form 10-Q 61
Capital Resources and Liquidity
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 comprised of cash and short-term, fixed income and equity securities that are generally saleable within one quarter. The earnings capacity of the operating subsidiaries is the primary source of capital generation for the Corporation.
Based on the greater of 2025 statutory net income or 10% of actual December 31, 2025 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 2027, is $7.98 billion, less dividends paid during the preceding twelve months measured at that point in time. During the first three months of 2026, $3.00 billion of 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 three months of 2026, 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 14.6% as of March 31, 2026. 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 2026.
• To cover short-term cash needs, the Corporation has access to a commercial paper facility with a borrowing capacity limited to any undrawn credit facility balance up to $750 million. As of March 31, 2026, 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 was filed on April 30, 2024 and expires in 2027. We can use this shelf registration to issue an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock (including 642 million shares of treasury stock as of March 31, 2026), preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. The specific terms of any securities we issue under this registration statement will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplements.
