Q1 2024 Allstate Corp Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Allstate Corp (ALL) reported a net income of $1.2 billion in the first quarter, indicating a broad-based profit improvement.
- Net investment income increased by almost 33%, benefiting from strategic repositioning into longer duration, higher fixed income yields.
- Property-Liability earned premium rose by 10.9% due to rate increases in auto and homeowners insurance.
- The auto insurance combined ratio improved by 8.4 points compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting the success of the profit improvement plan.
- Homeowners insurance profitability was strong, with a combined ratio of 82.1, translating to $564 million of underwriting income.
- Despite overall growth, Allstate brand policies in force decreased compared to the prior year, affected by profit improvement actions in auto insurance.
- The sale of the Health and Benefits business is expected to have a short-term negative impact on return on equity.

- Customer retention could be challenged by the large rate increases implemented in 2022 and 2023.
- There are ongoing needs for rate increases in key states like New York and New Jersey to achieve target profitability levels.
