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 2023, filed February 21, 2024.

Further analysis of our insurance segments is provided in the Property-Liability Operations and Segment Results sections, including Allstate Protection, 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

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, the Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas conflicts, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages.These factors should be considered when comparing the current period to prior periods. 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 2024 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 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 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.

Disposition

On August 13, 2024, we entered into a share purchase agreement with StanCorp Financial Group, Inc. to sell American Heritage Life Insurance Company and American Heritage Service Company, comprising our employer voluntary benefits business for approximately $2.0 billion in cash. The employer voluntary benefits business is reported in the Allstate Health and Benefits segment, and as of September 30, 2024, the assets and liabilities of the business are classified as held for sale. The transaction price less costs to sell exceeds the carrying value of net assets related to this transaction, resulting in an expected gain that will be recognized at closing of the transaction. The ultimate amount of the anticipated gain on the sale will be impacted by purchase price adjustments associated with certain pre-close transactions, changes in the carrying value of net assets, changes in accumulated other comprehensive income and the related tax effects.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We continue to pursue the sale of the group health and individual health businesses but have not completed the sale process. Once the criteria for these businesses to be classified as held for sale is met, the entire Health and Benefits segment will be reported in discontinued operations.

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. We use these measures in our evaluation of results of operations to analyze profitability.

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”).

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
