Allstate Corp. reported impressive financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025, with net income applicable to common shareholders reaching approximately $3.8 billion. This figure represents a significant increase, doubling the $1.9 billion recorded in the same quarter the previous year.

The company’s Property-Liability segment demonstrated strong performance, achieving a combined ratio of 72.9 for Q4, which is 14 points better than the same period in 2024. Catastrophe losses for the quarter were notably reduced to $209 million, down from $410 million in the prior year.

For the entire year, the Property-Liability division saw net income soar by over 123%, totaling approximately $10.2 billion compared to 2024. Catastrophe losses remained relatively stable at around $5 billion for the year, while the combined ratio improved by 9.1 points to 85.2.

In Q4, Property-Liability reported underwriting income of $4.0 billion, a substantial increase from $1.8 billion during the same quarter the previous year. Additionally, net premiums written rose by 5.9%, amounting to about $14.6 billion.

Allstate’s auto insurance segment also performed well, generating Q4 underwriting income of approximately $1.8 billion, compared to $603 million in Q4 2024. The combined ratio for this segment improved by 12.7 points to 80.8. Notably, prior year reserve reestimates of $719 million from favorable severity developments in personal auto injury and physical damage contributed a 7.5-point benefit to the ratio.

In the homeowners insurance sector, Q4 premiums written increased by 13.4%. A significant 46% reduction in catastrophe losses to $170 million allowed this line to achieve underwriting income of about $1.8 billion, up from approximately $1.1 billion in Q4 2024. The combined ratio for homeowners in Q4 stood at 55.3, while the full-year combined ratio improved to 84.4 from 90.1 in 2024.

CEO Tom Wilson highlighted that in 2025, Allstate proactively reduced premiums for 7.8 million auto and homeowners insurance customers by an average of 17%. This was achieved through tailored coverage reviews aimed at offsetting cost inflation. Wilson noted that the company ended the year with a 3% increase in policies in force, totaling nearly 211 million, driven by broad distribution and affordable, simple, connected products.
