−Removed: We experienced profitable growth during the second quarter 2025, with a strong underwriting profit margin of 13.8%.
−Removed: Our Personal Lines segment experienced strong year-over-year growth for the second quarter 2025, with net premiums written increasing 15% and policies in force up 16%, over the significant growth we experienced in the second quarter 2024.
−Removed: This growth was primarily driven by our personal auto products and reflects new and renewal application growth, which we believe is mainly attributable to increased advertising spend, competitively priced products, and our agency incentive compensation programs.
−Removed: In Commercial Lines, we experienced a decrease in net premiums written of 6% during the second quarter 2025, compared to the same period last year, despite experiencing policies in force growth of 6%.
−Removed: The decline in net premiums written during the quarter was primarily driven by changes in the length of policy terms and related renewal timing for certain transportation network company (TNC) business policies.
−Removed: These policies were renewed for a 6-month term in the second quarter 2024 and subsequently renewed for a 12-month term in the fourth quarter 2024.
−Removed: In addition, our contractor and business auto business market targets (BMT) experienced a shift to a greater mix of policies with 6-month terms, compared to the second quarter 2024.
−Removed: As 12-month policies have about twice the amount of net premiums written compared to 6-month policies, the shift negatively impacted average premiums.
−Removed: During the second quarter 2025, on a countrywide basis, we decreased personal auto rates less than 1% and increased our personal property rates about 4%, in the aggregate.
−Removed: In our core commercial auto businesses (which excludes our TNC business, our Progressive Fleet & Specialty Programs (Fleet & Specialty) products, and our business owners’ policy (BOP) product), we increased
−Removed: rates in the aggregate about 3% during the second quarter 2025.
−Removed: While we currently believe we are adequately priced in our personal auto products in most states, starting in the first quarter 2025, the U.S.
+Added: The Progressive Corporation’s insurance subsidiaries recognized strong year-over-year growth in both premiums and policies in force during the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period last year, while maintaining an underwriting profit better than our 4% companywide calendar-year underwriting profit goal.

+Added: Policies in force increased 12%, or by 4.2 million policies, compared to September 30, 2024;
+Added: with policies in force increasing by 0.8 million in the third quarter 2025.
+Added: While experiencing this strong growth during the third quarter 2025, we also maintained strong profitability, with an underwriting profit margin of 10.5%.
+Added: Our Personal Lines segment experienced year-over-year growth for the third quarter 2025, with net premiums written increasing 12% and policies in force up 13%, over the significant growth of 28% in net premiums written and 15% in policies in force we experienced in the third quarter last year.
+Added: This growth was primarily driven by our personal auto products and reflects renewal application growth, driven by new applications gained over the last year renewing during the quarter.
+Added: In Commercial Lines, we experienced a decrease in net premiums written of 6% for the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period last year, despite experiencing policies in force growth of 6%.
+Added: The decline in net premiums written was primarily driven by a decrease in transportation network company (TNC) premiums, due to decreases in projected mileage, which is the basis for computing premiums, during the third quarter 2025, compared to increases in projected mileage during the third quarter 2024.
+Added: To a lesser extent, the net premiums written decline was due to a shift to a greater mix of policies with 6-month terms in our contractor and business auto business market targets (BMT), which have about half the amount of net premiums written as 12-month policies, and to a mix shift to lower average written premium BMTs in our core commercial auto business (which excludes our TNC business, our Progressive Fleet & Specialty Programs (Fleet & Specialty) products, and our business owners’ policy (BOP) product).
+Added: On a year-to-date basis for the period ended September 30, 2025, net premiums written in our TNC business were flat compared to the same period last year.
+Added: Excluding TNC, Commercial Lines net premiums written would have decreased 2% for the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period last year.
+Added: During the third quarter 2025, on a countrywide basis, we increased personal auto rates less than 1% and increased our personal property rates about 2%, in the aggregate.
+Added: In our core commercial auto business, we increased rates about 2% in the aggregate during the third quarter 2025.
+Added: While we currently continue to believe we are adequately priced in our personal auto products in most states, starting in the first quarter 2025, the U.S.

While we expect to continue increasing rates in our personal property and core commercial auto products through the remainder of 2025, we will continue to monitor the impact from tariffs and other potential changes in the regulatory environment as we evaluate the possible need for additional rate increases.
−Removed: For the second quarter 2025, the $1.7 billion year-over-year increase in net income reflected an increase in both underwriting income and total net investment income, with the change in net unrealized losses on our fixed-maturity securities also contributing positively to our growth in comprehensive income.
−Removed: At June 30, 2025, total capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) was $39.5 billion, which was an increase of $7.0 billion from year-end 2024, primarily driven by the $7.1 billion of comprehensive income earned in the first half of 2025.
+Added: For the third quarter 2025, the $281 million year-over-year increase in net income primarily reflected an almost even increase in both underwriting income and total net investment income, while total comprehensive income decreased $996 million, primarily related to lower net unrealized gains on our fixed-maturity securities in the third quarter 2025.
+Added: Included in underwriting income for the third quarter 2025 was a $950 million policyholder credit expense related to excess profits earned in Florida.
+Added: Since Florida insurance reform was enacted in early 2023, we have seen lower loss costs on certain types of personal auto accident claims and favorable reserve development, and we have experienced strong profitability in our Florida personal auto business.
+Added: Despite actions to lower rates in the last year, it is probable that our personal auto profit in Florida for the 2023 to 2025 period will exceed the statutory profit limit that a Florida statute imposes on the profit that any insurance group can earn on personal auto insurance over any three-calendar-year period.
+Added: In such event, we would need to credit any profit above the limit to all Florida personal auto policyholders active at December 31, 2025.
+Added: As a result, in September 2025, we recorded a $950 million policyholder credit expense, which represents our current estimate of the profit we will earn on the three-calendar-year period ending December 31, 2025, in excess
+Added: of the permitted profit limit.
+Added: This liability will continue to be refined through the fourth quarter 2025.
+Added: See Financial Condition for further information.
+Added: At September 30, 2025, total capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) was $42.3 billion, which was an increase of $9.9 billion from year-end 2024, primarily driven by the $10.0 billion of comprehensive income earned in the first nine months of 2025.

+Added: For the third quarter 2025, our loss and loss adjustment expense (LAE) ratio decreased 3.7 points, and our underwriting expense ratio increased 4.2 points, compared to the same period last year.
+Added: The decrease in the loss and LAE ratio was primarily driven by a decrease in catastrophe losses and by favorable prior accident years reserve development in both Personal Lines and Commercial Lines.
+Added: The increase in the underwriting expense ratio was primarily driven by the Florida personal auto excess profit policyholder credit, previously discussed, adding 4.6 points to the companywide ratio.
+Added: Our Personal Lines and Commercial Lines operating segments both generated strong profitability for the third quarter 2025, with margins of 10.5% and 10.8%, respectively.
+Added: Excluding the Florida personal auto excess profit policyholder credit, the Personal Lines underwriting margin would have been 15.8%.
We closely manage our expenses, monitoring both acquisition expenses and non-acquisition expenses, which we view as an important measure of operational efficiency as we seek to deliver our most competitive rates to consumers.
We will continue to advertise to maximize growth as long as the advertising spend is efficient and we remain on track to achieve our calendar-year profitability goal.
−Removed: During the second quarter 2025, our advertising spend was $1.2 billion, which was 35%, or 0.7 points, greater than the second quarter last year.
−Removed: The expense ratio impact from increased advertising spend was partially offset by a decrease in certain general expenses.
+Added: During the third quarter 2025, our advertising spend was $1.3 billion, which was 10% greater than the third quarter last year, although, due to the growth in net premiums earned, advertising spend contributed 0.2 less points to the underwriting expense ratio in the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period last year.
Our Personal Lines segment is comprised of our personal vehicle and property products.
Personal Lines vehicles include both personal auto and special lines products, with the latter typically having higher losses during the warmer weather months, due to the seasonal nature of these products (e.g., recreational vehicles, such as motorcycles, RVs, and watercraft).

+Added: Our Personal Lines underwriting margin for the third quarter 2025 was 10.5%, with personal vehicle and property products reporting 9.3% and 36.5%, respectively, with Florida excess profit credits reducing the personal vehicles margin by 5.5%.
+Added: Profitability in our special lines products had minimal impact to our personal vehicle combined ratio during the third quarter 2025.
+Added: The substantially high underwriting profit margin in our personal property products was primarily driven by
+Added: favorable development on prior accident year losses and the low level of incurred catastrophe losses during the period.

+Added: Commercial Lines net premiums written decreased 6% year over year.
Changes in net premiums written are a function of new business applications (i.e., policies sold), business mix, premium per policy, and retention.
−Removed: During the second quarter 2025, we experienced an increase in both total Personal Lines new and renewal business applications, primarily driven by significant increases in our personal vehicle products, due to continued increased advertising spend, our continued efforts to get back into independent agents’ quote flows, and our competitiveness in the marketplace.

+Added: Total Personal Lines renewal business applications increased substantially, primarily driven by the significant new business application growth experienced in our personal vehicle products in prior periods.
+Added: New and renewal personal auto applications decreased 2% and increased 20%, respectively, for the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year.
+Added: In our personal property business, the strong growth in new applications in our renters policies was offset by declines in our homeowners product, which we define as our total personal property business excluding renters and umbrella products.

+Added: During the third quarter 2025, we began to take actions in several markets
+Added: to generate new business growth at the state level based on our concentration risks, product segmentation, rate adequacy, cost sharing execution, and regulatory and market conditions.

+Added: The total Commercial Lines net premiums written decreased 6% for the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by our TNC business, reflecting decreases in projected mileage, which is the basis for computing premiums, during the third quarter 2025, compared to increases in projected mileage during the third quarter 2024.
+Added: In addition, our contractor and business auto BMTs experienced a shift to a greater mix of policies with 6-month terms, compared to the third quarter 2024.
+Added: As 12-month policies have about twice the amount of net premiums written compared to 6-month policies, the shift negatively impacted average premiums.
+Added: A mix shift to lower average written premium BMTs also contributed to the decline.
+Added: Excluding the TNC business, total Commercial Lines net premiums written was down 2% for the third quarter 2025, on a year-over-year basis.
+Added: New and renewal business applications in our core commercial auto products decreased 1% and increased 6%, respectively, for the third quarter 2025, compared to the same period last year.

−Removed: During the first six months of 2025, we returned capital to shareholders primarily through common share dividends and common share repurchases.
−Removed: Our Board of Directors declared a $0.10 per common share dividend in both the first and second quarters of 2025.
−Removed: These dividends, which were $59 million and $58 million, respectively, in the aggregate, were paid in April 2025 and July 2025.

+Added: provide additional capital to the insurance subsidiaries to fund potential future growth and other opportunities.
+Added: As of September 30, 2025, our estimated consolidated statutory surplus was $33.7 billion.
+Added: Insurance departments establish and monitor compliance with capital and surplus requirements.
+Added: One prominent ratio monitored by regulators is the amount of net premiums written as a ratio of surplus.
+Added: Although the ratio of written premiums to surplus that the regulators will allow is a function of a number of factors (including applicable laws, the type of business being written, the adequacy of the insurer’s reserves, and the quality of the insurer’s assets), the annual net premiums that an insurer may write historically have been perceived to be limited to a specified multiple of the insurer’s total surplus, generally 3 to 1 for property and casualty insurance, which is generally the maximum target for our vehicle businesses;
+Added: however, two states have permitted us to target a premiums-to-surplus ratio for our vehicle businesses to a maximum ratio of 3.5 to 1 based on our strong financial condition.
+Added: This approval reduces the amount of capital we may need to hold at our applicable insurance subsidiaries relative to premium, subject to the other factors previously mentioned.
+Added: For 2024, these subsidiaries represented 90% of our companywide total net premiums written.
+Added: The pace and extent to which we move to this ratio is yet to be determined.
+Added: We have previously announced our intention to pay a dividend on our common shares on a quarterly basis and to consider paying a variable dividend on at least an annual basis.
+Added: The Board of Directors declares any applicable dividend and may consider, among other factors, changes in our performance or available capital, or other potential uses for our capital as part of this action.

Since Florida insurance reform was enacted in early 2023, we have seen lower loss costs on certain types of personal auto accident claims and favorable reserve development, and we have experienced strong profitability in our Florida personal auto business.
In response to these trends, we have lowered Florida personal auto rates twice in the last year.
−Removed: Despite these actions, it is possible that our profit for personal auto in Florida for the 2023 to 2025 period will exceed the statutory profit limit that a Florida statute imposes on the profit that any insurance group can earn on personal auto insurance over any three-calendar-year period and that we will need to pay any profit above
−Removed: the limit to all Florida personal auto policyholders active at December 31, 2025.
−Removed: We are not currently able to determine whether we will exceed the permitted profit limit because several factors can impact the determination.
−Removed: The Atlantic hurricane season continues through late November 2025, and the risk of hurricanes impacting Florida through that time is relatively high.
−Removed: In addition, any reserve development through the first quarter 2026 on losses for accident years 2023 through 2025 will impact the statutory calculations.
−Removed: Finally, other factors described in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2024 Form 10-K that may impact our ability to establish accurate loss reserves could impact these determinations.
−Removed: We expect to be able to reasonably estimate any potential exposure by the end of the fourth quarter 2025, and to pay amounts owed, if any, during late 2025 or 2026.
+Added: Despite these actions, it is probable that our personal auto profit in Florida for the 2023 to 2025 period will exceed the statutory profit limit that a Florida statute
+Added: imposes on the profit that any insurance group can earn on personal auto insurance over any three-calendar-year period.
+Added: In such event, we would need to credit any profit above the limit to all Florida personal auto policyholders active at December 31, 2025.
+Added: As a result, in September 2025, we recorded a $950 million policyholder credit expense, which represents our current estimate of the profit we will earn on the three-calendar-year period ending December 31, 2025, in excess of the permitted profit limit.
+Added: The estimated liability will continue to be refined through the end of the fourth quarter 2025, given the continuing exposure to potential significant storm activity through the Atlantic hurricane season, which continues into late November 2025, and the other factors that impact reserve development through the first quarter 2026 on losses for applicable accident years.
+Added: See Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2024 Form 10-K, for a description of other factors that may impact our ability to establish accurate loss reserves.
+Added: In early 2026, we expect to provide credits to policyholders active at December 31, 2025.
+Added: As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately 2.7 million personal auto policyholders active in Florida.
Based upon our capital planning and forecasting efforts, we believe we have sufficient capital resources and cash flows from operations to support our current business, scheduled principal and interest payments on our debt, anticipated quarterly dividends on our common shares, our contractual obligations, and other expected capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
