Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



Note 1	General

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Allstate Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, primarily Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”), a property and casualty insurance company with various property and casualty and life and investment subsidiaries, including Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Allstate”). These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of June 30, 2019 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed February 15, 2019, and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 16, 2019, Exhibit 99.1, reflecting the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K with adjustments to Part II. Item 6., Item 7. and Item 8. for the Company’s change in accounting principle for pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

To conform to the current year presentation, certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified.

Impairment of purchased intangibles

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made the decision to phase-out the use of the SquareTrade trade name in the United States and sell consumer protection plans under the Allstate Protection Plan name. The SquareTrade trade name will continue to be used outside of the United States. The change in the second quarter of 2019 required an impairment evaluation of the indefinite-lived intangible asset recognized in the Service Businesses segment for SquareTrade’s trade name that was recorded when SquareTrade was acquired in 2017.

As a result, the Company recognized an impairment of $55 million pre-tax during the second quarter of 2019.

Adopted accounting standards

Accounting for Leases Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted new Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance related to accounting for leases. Upon adoption of the guidance under the optional transition method that allows application of the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of the earliest period presented, the Company recorded a $585 million lease liability equal to the present value of lease payments and a $488 million right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is the corresponding lease liability adjusted for qualifying accrued lease payments. The lease liability and ROU asset were reported as part of other liabilities and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The impact of these changes at adoption had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity. Prior periods were not restated under the new standard. The Company utilized practical expedients which do not require reassessment of existing contracts for the existence of a lease or reassessment of existing lease classifications.

Upon adoption, the new guidance required sellers in a sale-leaseback transaction to recognize the entire gain from the sale of an underlying asset at the time the sale is recognized rather than over the leaseback term. The carrying value of unrecognized gains on sale-leaseback transactions executed prior to January 1, 2019 was $21 million, after-tax, and was recorded as an increase to retained income at the date of adoption.

Accounting for Hedging Activities Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted new FASB guidance intended to better align hedge accounting with an organization’s risk management activities. The new guidance expands hedge accounting to nonfinancial and financial risk components and revises the measurement methodologies to better align with an organization’s risk management activities. Separate presentation of hedge ineffectiveness is eliminated with the intention to provide greater transparency to the full impact of hedging by requiring presentation of the results of the hedged item and hedging instrument in a single financial statement line item. In addition, the amendments were designed to reduce complexity by simplifying hedge effectiveness testing. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Changes to significant accounting policies

Leases The Company has certain operating leases for office facilities, computer and office equipment, and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 11 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 60 days.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term less than one year are not recorded on the balance sheet and the lease costs for these leases are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with terms greater than one year result in a lease liability recorded in other liabilities with a corresponding ROU asset recorded in other assets. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $558 million in lease liabilities and $461 million in ROU assets.

Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are recognized based on the corresponding lease liabilities adjusted for qualifying initial direct costs, prepaid or accrued lease payments and unamortized lease incentives. As most of the Company’s leases do not disclose the implicit interest rate, the Company uses collateralized incremental borrowing rates based on information available at lease commencement when determining the present value of future lease payments. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are incorporated into the Company’s measurements when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.

Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and include interest expense on the lease liability and amortization of the ROU asset. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and include maintenance costs and real estate taxes. Lease costs are reported in operating costs and expenses and totaled $42 million and $83 million, including $8 million and $15 million of variable lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Pending accounting standards

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which revises the credit loss recognition criteria for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost and includes reinsurance recoverables. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss recognition model with an expected loss recognition model. The objective of the expected credit loss model is for a reporting entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets in a valuation allowance that when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the related financial assets results in a net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The reporting entity must consider all relevant information available when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts over the life of an asset. Financial assets may be evaluated individually or on a pooled basis when they share similar risk characteristics. The measurement of credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities measured at fair value is not affected except that credit losses recognized are limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost and the carrying value adjustment is recognized through a valuation allowance which may change over time but once recorded cannot subsequently be reduced to an amount below zero. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for most affected instruments must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained income.

The Company’s implementation activities, which remain in process, include review and validation of models, methodologies, data inputs and assumptions to be used to estimate expected credit losses. The implementation impacts relate primarily to the Company’s mortgage loans, bank loans and reinsurance recoverables and will depend on economic conditions and judgments at the date of adoption as well as the size and composition of the loan portfolios and reinsurance balances. The impact of adoption is

not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans

In August 2018, the FASB issued amendments to modify certain disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. Disclosure additions relate to the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with interest crediting rates and explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation during the reporting period. Disclosures to be removed include those that identify amounts that are expected to be reclassified out of AOCI and into the income statement in the coming year and the anticipated impact of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rate on service and interest cost and on the accumulated benefit obligation. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The impacts of adoption are to the Company’s disclosures only.

Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance revising the accounting for certain long-duration insurance contracts. The new guidance introduces material changes to the measurement of the Company’s reserves for traditional life, life-contingent immediate annuities and certain voluntary accident and health insurance products.

Under the new guidance, measurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy terminations, will be required to be reviewed and updated at least annually. The effect of updating measurement assumptions other than the discount rate are required to be measured on a retrospective basis and reported in net income. In addition, cash flows under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield required to be updated through OCI at each reporting date. Current GAAP requires reserves to utilize assumptions set at policy issuance unless updated current assumptions would result in reserves that are deficient compared to the reserves recorded.

The new guidance requires deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and other capitalized balances currently amortized in proportion to premiums or gross profits to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term for all long-duration insurance contracts. DAC will not be subject to loss recognition testing but will be reduced when actual experience exceeds expected experience. The new guidance will no longer require adjustments to DAC and deferred sales inducement costs (“DSI”) related to unrealized gains and losses on investment securities supporting the related business.

Market risk benefit product features are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income with the exception of changes in the fair value attributable to changes in the reporting entity’s own credit risk, which are required to

be recognized in OCI. Substantially all of the Company’s market risk benefits are reinsured and therefore these impacts are not expected to be material to the Company.

The new guidance is to be included in the comparable financial statements issued in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, thereby requiring restatement of prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied to affected contracts and DAC on the basis of existing carrying amounts at the earliest period presented or retrospectively using actual historical experience as of contract inception. The new guidance for market risk benefits is required to be adopted retrospectively. In July 2019, the FASB voted to expose a proposal for a thirty-day comment period to delay the effective date of the new guidance for public business entities that are SEC filers to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. If adopted, the proposal would extend the effective date of the new guidance for public business entities that are SEC filers by one year.

The Company is evaluating the anticipated impacts of applying the new guidance to both retained income and AOCI. The requirements of the new guidance represent a material change from existing GAAP, however, the underlying economics of the business and related cash flows are unchanged. The Company is evaluating the specific impacts of adopting the new guidance and anticipates the financial statement impact of adopting the new guidance to be material, largely attributed to the impact of transitioning to a discount rate based on an upper-medium grade fixed income investment yield and updates to mortality assumptions. The Company expects the most significant impacts will occur in the run-off annuity segment. The revised accounting for DAC will be applied prospectively using the new model and any DAC effects existing in AOCI as a result of applying existing GAAP at the date of adoption will be reversed.

Change in accounting principle

The Company changed its accounting principle for recognizing actuarial gains and losses and expected return on plan assets for its pension and other postretirement plans to a more preferable policy under U.S. GAAP. Under the new principle, remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets are immediately recognized in earnings and are referred to as pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Previously, actuarial gains and losses and differences between the expected and actual returns on plan assets were recognized as a component of AOCI and were subject to amortization into earnings in future periods. This change has been applied on a retrospective basis. The Company’s policy is to remeasure its pension and postretirement plans on a quarterly basis.

Differences between expected and actual returns and changes in assumptions affect our pension and other postretirement obligations, plan assets and

www.allstate.com

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

expenses. The primary factors contributing to pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses are 1) changes in the discount rate used to value pension and postretirement obligations as of the measurement date, 2) differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets, 3) changes in demographic assumptions, including mortality, and 4) participant experience different from demographic assumptions.

The Company also changed its policy for recognizing expected returns on plan assets by eliminating the permitted accounting practice allowing the five-year smoothing of equity returns and moving to an unadjusted fair value method.

The Company believes that immediately recognizing remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets in earnings is preferable as it provides greater transparency of the Company’s economic obligations in accounting results and better

aligns with fair value accounting principles by recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate changes on pension and other postretirement plan assets and liabilities in the year in which the gains and losses are incurred. These changes have been applied on a retrospective basis and as of January 1, 2018 resulted in a cumulative effect decrease to retained income of $1.58 billion, with a corresponding offset to AOCI and had no impact on total shareholders’ equity.

Pension and other postretirement service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of prior service credits are allocated to the Company’s reportable segments. The pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses are now reported in the Corporate and Other segment.

The impacts of the adjustments on the financial statements are summarized in the following tables.

⁽¹⁾ The Company merged two of its pension plans, which had no impact on our financial statements as we remeasure pension plan assets and projected benefit obligations immediately in earnings on a quarterly basis. However, the plan merger increased the impact of change by $18 million for both the second quarter and first six months of 2019, reflecting the shorter amortization period for losses deferred in AOCI from one of the merged plans that was required as part of the merger.

Note 2	Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including vested unissued participating restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding.

For the Company, dilutive potential common shares consist of outstanding stock options and

unvested non-participating restricted stock units and contingently issuable performance stock awards. The effect of dilutive potential common shares does not include the effect of options with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share because their exercise prices exceed the average market price of Allstate common shares during the period or for which the unrecognized compensation cost would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Note 4	Reportable Segments

Change in accounting principle

As discussed in Note 1, the Company changed its accounting principle for recognizing actuarial gains and losses and expected return on plan assets for its pension and other postretirement plans to a more preferable policy under U.S. GAAP. Under the new principle, remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets are immediately recognized through earnings and are referred to as pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This change has been applied on a retrospective basis. See Note 1 for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Measuring segment profit or loss

The measure of segment profit or loss used in evaluating performance is underwriting income for the Allstate Protection and Discontinued Lines and Coverages segments and adjusted net income for the Service Businesses, Allstate Life, Allstate Benefits, Allstate Annuities, and Corporate and Other segments. A reconciliation of these measures to net income applicable to common shareholders is provided below.

Underwriting income is calculated as premiums earned and other revenue, less claims and claims expenses (“losses”), amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges as determined using GAAP.

Adjusted net income is net income applicable to common shareholders, excluding:

• Realized capital gains and losses, after-tax, except for periodic settlements and accruals on non-hedge derivative instruments, which are reported with realized capital gains and losses but included in adjusted net income

• Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses, after-tax

• Valuation changes on embedded derivatives not hedged, after-tax

• Amortization of DAC and DSI, to the extent they resulted from the recognition of certain realized capital gains and losses or valuation changes on embedded derivatives not hedged, after-tax

• Business combination expenses and the amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles, after-tax

• Gain (loss) on disposition of operations, after-tax

• 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

The Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed income security, discounted at the security’s original or current effective rate, as appropriate, to calculate a recovery value and determine whether a credit loss exists. The

determination of cash flow estimates is inherently subjective and methodologies may vary depending on facts and circumstances specific to the security. All reasonably available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events,

www.allstate.com

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

current conditions, and reasonable and supportable assumptions and forecasts, are considered when developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. That information generally includes, but is not limited to, the remaining payment terms of the security, prepayment speeds, foreign exchange rates, the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer, expected defaults, expected recoveries, the value of underlying collateral, vintage, geographic concentration of underlying collateral, available reserves or escrows, current subordination levels, third-party guarantees and other credit enhancements. Other information, such as industry analyst reports and forecasts, sector credit ratings, financial condition of the bond insurer for insured fixed income securities, and other market data relevant to the realizability of contractual cash flows, may also be

considered. The estimated fair value of collateral will be used to estimate recovery value if the Company determines that the security is dependent on the liquidation of collateral for ultimate settlement. If the estimated recovery value is less than the amortized cost of the security, a credit loss exists and an OTTI for the difference between the estimated recovery value and amortized cost is recorded in earnings. The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other than credit remains classified in AOCI. If the Company determines that the fixed income security does not have sufficient cash flow or other information to estimate a recovery value for the security, the Company may conclude that the entire decline in fair value is deemed to be credit related and the loss is recorded in earnings.

⁽¹⁾	Unrealized net capital gains and losses for limited partnership interests represent the Company’s share of EMA limited partnerships’ OCI. Fair value and gross unrealized gains and losses are not applicable.


⁽²⁾	The insurance reserves adjustment represents the amount by which the reserve balance would increase if the net unrealized gains in the applicable product portfolios were realized and reinvested at lower interest rates, resulting in a premium deficiency. This adjustment primarily relates to structured settlement annuities with life contingencies (a type of immediate fixed annuities).


⁽³⁾	The DAC and DSI adjustment balance represents the amount by which the amortization of DAC and DSI would increase or decrease if the unrealized gains or losses in the respective product portfolios were realized.

Portfolio monitoring

The Company has a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security whose carrying value may be other-than-temporarily impaired.

For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate authority has made the decision to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets either of these criteria, the security’s decline in fair value is considered other than temporary and is recorded in earnings.

If the Company has not made the decision to sell the fixed income security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether it expects to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The Company calculates the estimated recovery value by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows at the security’s original or current effective rate, as appropriate, and compares this to the amortized cost of the security. If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, the credit loss component of the impairment is recorded in earnings, with the

remaining amount of the unrealized loss related to other factors recognized in OCI.

The Company’s portfolio monitoring 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 established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of other impairment indicators such as ratings, ratings downgrades and payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which the Company may have a concern, are evaluated for potential OTTI using all reasonably available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security. Inherent in the Company’s evaluation of OTTI for these securities are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer. Some of the factors that may be considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary are: 1) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic location and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; 2) the specific reasons that a security is in an unrealized loss position, including overall market conditions which could affect liquidity; and 3) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost.

Investment grade is defined as a security having a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s, a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), a comparable rating from another nationally recognized rating agency, or a comparable internal rating if an externally provided rating is not available. Market prices for certain securities may have credit spreads

which imply higher or lower credit quality than the current third-party rating. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities are principally related to an increase in market yields which may include increased risk-free interest rates and/or wider credit spreads since the time of initial purchase.

unrealized losses are expected to reverse as the securities approach maturity.

ABS, RMBS and CMBS in an unrealized loss position were evaluated based on actual and projected collateral losses relative to the securities’ positions in the respective securitization trusts, security specific expectations of cash flows, and credit ratings. This evaluation also takes into consideration credit enhancement, measured in terms of (i) subordination from other classes of securities in the trust that are contractually obligated to absorb losses before the class of security the Company owns, and (ii) the expected impact of other structural features embedded in the securitization trust beneficial to the class of securities the Company owns, such as overcollateralization and excess spread. Municipal bonds in an unrealized loss position were evaluated based on the underlying credit quality of the primary obligor, obligation type and quality of the underlying assets.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell fixed income securities with unrealized losses before recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Limited partnerships

Investments in limited partnership interests include interests in private equity funds, real estate funds and other funds. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of EMA limited partnerships totaled $6.03 billion and $5.73 billion, respectively, and limited partnerships carried at fair value totaled $1.79 billion and $1.78 billion, respectively.

Mortgage loans

Mortgage loans are evaluated for impairment on a specific loan basis through a quarterly credit

monitoring process and review of key credit quality indicators. Mortgage loans are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will not collect the contractual principal and interest. Valuation allowances are established for impaired loans to reduce the carrying value to the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Impaired mortgage loans may not have a valuation allowance when the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell is higher than the carrying value. Valuation allowances are adjusted for subsequent changes in the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows. Mortgage loans are charged off against their corresponding valuation allowances when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The impairment evaluation is non-statistical in respect to the aggregate portfolio but considers facts and circumstances attributable to each loan. It is not considered probable that additional impairment losses, beyond those identified on a specific loan basis, have been incurred as of June 30, 2019.

Accrual of income is suspended for mortgage loans that are in default or when full and timely collection of principal and interest payments is not probable. Cash receipts on mortgage loans on non-accrual status are generally recorded as a reduction of carrying value.

Debt service coverage ratio is considered a key credit quality indicator when mortgage loans are evaluated for impairment. Debt service coverage ratio represents the amount of estimated cash flows from the property available to the borrower to meet principal and interest payment obligations. Debt service coverage ratio estimates are updated annually or more frequently if conditions are warranted based on the Company’s credit monitoring process.

Mortgage loans with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.0 that are not considered impaired primarily relate to instances where the borrower has the financial capacity to fund the revenue shortfalls from the properties for the foreseeable term, the decrease

in cash flows from the properties is considered temporary, or there are other risk mitigating circumstances such as additional collateral, escrow balances or borrower guarantees.

The valuation allowance on impaired loans had no activity for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The average balance of impaired loans was $4 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Payments on all mortgage loans were current as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments, including commercial paper, money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills and other short-term investments, are carried at fair value. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of short-term investments totaled $3.74 billion and $3.03 billion, respectively.

Other investments

Other investments primarily consist of bank loans, policy loans, real estate, agent loans and derivatives. Bank loans are primarily senior secured corporate loans and are carried at amortized cost. Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Agent loans are loans issued to exclusive Allstate agents and are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of valuation allowances and unamortized deferred fees or costs. Derivatives are carried at fair value.

Note 6	Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company can access.

Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:


(a)	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;


(b)	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or


(c)	Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.

The availability of observable inputs varies by instrument. In situations where fair value is based on internally developed pricing models or inputs that are unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is typically greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In many instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments.

The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company gains assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued through the execution of various processes and controls designed to ensure the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies, including inputs and assumptions, and compliance

with accounting standards. For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company’s processes and controls are designed to ensure that the valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistently applied, the inputs and assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded. For example, on a continuing basis, the Company assesses the reasonableness of individual fair values that have stale security prices or that exceed certain thresholds as compared to previous fair values received from valuation service providers or brokers or derived from internal models. The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies, processes and controls of valuation service providers. In addition, the Company may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. The Company performs ongoing price validation procedures such as back-testing of actual sales, which corroborate the various inputs used in internal models to market observable data. When fair value determinations are expected to be more variable, the Company validates them through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investment transactions.

The Company has two types of situations where investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The first is where specific inputs significant to the fair value estimation models are not market observable. This primarily occurs in the Company’s use of broker quotes to value certain securities where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable, and the use of valuation models that use significant non-market observable inputs. The second situation where the Company classifies securities in Level 3 is where quotes continue to be received from independent third-party valuation service providers and all significant inputs are market observable; however, there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset when compared to normal market activity such that the degree of market observability has declined to a point where categorization as a Level 3 measurement is considered appropriate. The indicators considered in determining whether a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for a specific asset has occurred include the level of new issuances in the primary market, trading volume in the secondary market, the level of credit spreads over historical levels, applicable bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants and other pricing sources.

Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, bank loans, agent loans and policy loans. Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to remeasurement at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

remeasurement is reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In determining fair value, the Company principally uses the market approach which generally utilizes market transaction data for the same or similar instruments. To a lesser extent, the Company uses the income approach which involves determining fair values from discounted cash flow methodologies. For the majority of Level 2 and Level 3 valuations, a combination of the market and income approaches is used.

Summary of significant valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Level 1 measurements


•	Fixed income securities: Comprise certain U.S. Treasury fixed income securities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.


•	Equity securities: Comprise actively traded, exchange-listed equity securities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.


•	Short-term: Comprise U.S. Treasury bills valued based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access and actively traded money market funds that have daily quoted net asset values for identical assets that the Company can access.


•	Separate account assets: Comprise actively traded mutual funds that have daily quoted net asset values that are readily determinable for identical assets that the Company can access. Net asset values for the actively traded mutual funds in which the separate account assets are invested are obtained daily from the fund managers.


•	Other assets: Comprise free-standing exchange-listed derivatives that are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

Level 2 measurements


•	Fixed income securities:

U.S. government and agencies: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

Municipal: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

Corporate - public: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

Corporate - privately placed: Valued using a discounted cash flow model that is widely accepted in the financial services industry and uses market observable inputs and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow model include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets in markets that are not active that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.

Foreign government: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

ABS - collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) and ABS - consumer and other: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, collateral performance and credit spreads. Certain ABS - CDO and ABS - consumer and other are valued based on non-binding broker quotes whose inputs have been corroborated to be market observable.

RMBS: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, collateral performance and credit spreads.

CMBS: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, collateral performance and credit spreads.

Redeemable preferred stock: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, underlying stock prices and credit spreads.


•	Equity securities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.


•	Short-term: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.


•	Other investments: Free-standing exchange listed derivatives that are not actively traded are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in markets that are not active.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, total return swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, certain options and certain credit default swaps, are valued using models that rely on inputs such as interest rate yield curves, implied volatilities, index price levels, currency rates, and credit

Second Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q 27

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

spreads that are observable for substantially the full term of the contract. The valuation techniques underlying the models are widely accepted in the financial services industry and do not involve significant judgment.

Level 3 measurements


•	Fixed income securities:

Municipal: Comprise municipal bonds that are not rated by third-party credit rating agencies. The primary inputs to the valuation of these municipal bonds include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Also included are municipal bonds valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable and municipal bonds in default valued based on the present value of expected cash flows.

Corporate - public and Corporate - privately placed: Primarily valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable. Other inputs include an interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar assets that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.

ABS - CDO, ABS - consumer and other, RMBS and CMBS: Valued based on non-binding broker quotes received from brokers who are familiar with the investments and where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable.


•	Equity securities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements.


•	Short-term: For certain short-term investments, amortized cost is used as the best estimate of fair value.


•	Other investments: Certain OTC derivatives, such as interest rate caps, certain credit default swaps

and certain options (including swaptions), are valued using models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry. These are categorized as Level 3 as a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs such as volatility. Other primary inputs include interest rate yield curves and credit spreads.

•

Contractholder funds: Derivatives embedded in certain life and annuity contracts are valued internally using models widely accepted in the financial services industry that determine a single best estimate of fair value for the embedded derivatives within a block of contractholder liabilities. The models primarily use stochastically determined cash flows based on the contractual elements of embedded derivatives, projected option cost and applicable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and equity index volatility assumptions. These are categorized as Level 3 as a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

Mortgage loans written-down to fair value in connection with recognizing impairments are valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Bank loans written-down to fair value are valued based on broker quotes from brokers familiar with the loans and current market conditions or based on internal valuation models.

Investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy

Limited partnerships carried at fair value, which do not have readily determinable fair values, use NAV provided by the investees and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. These investments are generally not redeemable by the investees and generally cannot be sold without approval of the general partner. The Company receives distributions of income and proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying assets of the investees, which usually takes place in years 4-9 of the typical contractual life of 10-12 years. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has commitments to invest $592 million in these limited partnership interests.

December 31, 2018
Derivatives embedded in life and annuity contracts – Equity-indexed and forward starting options	$	(185	)	Stochastic cash flow model	Projected option cost	1.0 - 2.2%	1.74%

The embedded derivatives are equity-indexed and forward starting options in certain life and annuity products that provide customers with interest crediting rates based on the performance of the S&P 500. If the projected option cost increased (decreased), it would result in a higher (lower) liability fair value.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Level 3 fair value measurements of fixed income securities total $286 million and $325 million, respectively, and include $68 million and $105 million, respectively, of securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be

market observable and $37 million and $44 million, respectively, of municipal fixed income securities that are not rated by third-party credit rating agencies. The Company does not develop the unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value; therefore, these are not included in the table above. However, an increase (decrease) in credit spreads for fixed income securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes would result in a lower (higher) fair value, and an increase (decrease) in the credit rating of municipal bonds that are not rated by third-party credit rating agencies would result in a higher (lower) fair value.

Transfers between level categorizations may occur due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs, which generally are caused by changes in market conditions such as liquidity, trading volume or bid-ask spreads. Transfers between level categorizations may also occur due to changes in the valuation source, including situations where a fair value quote is not provided by the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider resulting in the price becoming stale or replaced with a broker quote whose inputs have not been corroborated to be

market observable. This situation will result in the transfer of a security into Level 3.

Transfers in and out of level categorizations are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. Therefore, for all transfers into Level 3, all realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses in the quarter of transfer are reflected in the Level 3 rollforward table.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

Transfers into Level 3 during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 included situations where a quote was not provided by the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider and as a result the price was stale or had been replaced with a broker quote where the inputs had not been corroborated to be market observable resulting in the security being classified as Level 3. Transfers into Level 3 during 2019 also included derivatives embedded in equity-indexed universal life contracts due to refinements in the valuation modeling resulting in an increase in significance of non-market observable inputs.

Transfers out of Level 3 during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 included situations where a broker quote was used in the prior period and a quote became available from the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider in the current period. A quote utilizing the new pricing source was not available as of the prior period, and any gains or losses related to the change in valuation source for individual securities were not significant.

Note 7	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivatives for risk reduction and to increase investment portfolio returns through asset replication. Risk reduction activity is focused on managing the risks with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impacts from changes in risk-free interest rates, changes in equity market valuations, increases in credit spreads and foreign currency fluctuations.

Asset replication refers to the “synthetic” creation of assets through the use of derivatives. The Company replicates fixed income securities using a combination of a credit default swap, index total return swap, or a foreign currency forward contract and one or more highly rated fixed income securities, primarily investment grade host bonds, to synthetically replicate the economic characteristics of one or more cash market securities. The Company replicates equity securities using futures, index total return swaps, and options to increase equity exposure.

Property-Liability may use interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures and options to manage the interest rate risks of existing investments. These instruments are utilized to change the duration of the portfolio in order to offset the economic effect that interest rates would otherwise have on the fair value of its fixed income securities. Fixed income index total return swaps are used to offset valuation losses in the fixed income portfolio during periods of declining market values. Credit default swaps are typically used to mitigate the credit risk within the Property-Liability fixed income portfolio. Equity index total return swaps, futures and options are used by Property-Liability to offset valuation losses in the equity portfolio during periods of declining equity market values. In addition, equity futures are used to hedge the market risk related to deferred compensation liability contracts. Forward contracts are primarily used by Property-Liability to hedge foreign currency risk associated with holding foreign currency denominated investments and foreign operations.

Asset-liability management is a risk management strategy that is principally employed by Allstate Life and Allstate Annuities to balance the respective interest-rate sensitivities of its assets and liabilities. Depending upon the attributes of the assets acquired and liabilities issued, derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, swaptions and futures are utilized to change the interest rate characteristics of existing assets and liabilities to ensure the relationship is maintained within specified ranges and to reduce exposure to rising or falling interest rates. Fixed income index total return swaps are used to offset valuation losses in the portfolio during periods of declining market values. Credit default swaps are typically used to mitigate the credit risk within the Allstate Life and Allstate Annuities fixed income portfolios. Futures and options are used for hedging the equity exposure contained in equity indexed life and annuity product contracts that offer equity returns to contractholders. In addition, the Company uses equity index total return swaps, options and futures to

offset valuation losses in the equity portfolio during periods of declining equity market values. Foreign currency swaps and forwards are primarily used to reduce the foreign currency risk associated with holding foreign currency denominated investments.

The Company also has derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of embedded derivatives reported in net income. The Company’s primary embedded derivatives are equity options in life and annuity product contracts, which provide returns linked to equity indices to contractholders.

When derivatives meet specific criteria, they may be designated as accounting hedges and accounted for as fair value, cash flow, foreign currency fair value or foreign currency cash flow hedges. The Company designates certain investment risk transfer reinsurance agreements as fair value hedges when the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged item. The fair value of hedged liability is reported in contractholder funds in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The impact from results of the fair value hedge is reported in interest credited to contractholder funds in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The notional amounts specified in the contracts are used to calculate the exchange of contractual payments under the agreements and are generally not representative of the potential for gain or loss on these agreements. However, the notional amounts specified in credit default swaps where the Company has sold credit protection represent the maximum amount of potential loss, assuming no recoveries.

Fair value, which is equal to the carrying value, is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the derivative contracts at the reporting date. The carrying value amounts for OTC derivatives are further adjusted for the effects, if any, of enforceable master netting agreements and are presented on a net basis, by counterparty agreement, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

For those derivatives which qualify for fair value hedge accounting, net income includes the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged risk, and therefore reflects any hedging ineffectiveness. Non-hedge accounting is generally used for “portfolio” level hedging strategies where the terms of the individual hedged items do not meet the strict homogeneity requirements to permit the application of hedge accounting. For non-hedge derivatives, net income includes changes in fair value and accrued periodic settlements, when applicable. With the exception of non-hedge derivatives used for asset replication and non-hedge embedded derivatives, all of the Company’s derivatives are evaluated for their ongoing effectiveness as either

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by utilizing highly rated counterparties, establishing risk control limits, executing legally enforceable master netting agreements (“MNAs”) and obtaining collateral where appropriate. The Company uses MNAs for OTC derivative transactions that permit either party to net payments due for transactions and collateral is either pledged or obtained when certain predetermined exposure limits are exceeded. As of June 30, 2019, counterparties pledged $32 million in collateral to the Company, and the Company pledged $2 million in collateral to counterparties under MNAs for contracts containing credit-risk-contingent provisions that are in a liability position. The Company has not incurred any losses on derivative financial instruments due to counterparty nonperformance. Other derivatives, including futures and certain option contracts, are traded on organized exchanges which require margin

deposits and guarantee the execution of trades, thereby mitigating any potential credit risk.

Counterparty credit exposure represents the Company’s potential loss if all of the counterparties concurrently fail to perform under the contractual terms of the contracts and all collateral, if any, becomes worthless. This exposure is measured by the fair value of OTC derivative contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date reduced by the effect, if any, of legally enforceable master netting agreements.

For certain exchange traded and cleared derivatives, margin deposits are required as well as daily cash settlements of margin accounts. As of June 30, 2019, the Company pledged $46 million in the form of margin deposits.

Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk exists for all of the derivative financial instruments the Company currently holds, as these instruments may become less valuable due to adverse changes in market conditions. To limit this risk, the Company’s senior management has established risk control limits. In addition, changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments that the Company uses for risk management purposes are generally offset by the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged risk component of the related assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent termination events, cross-default provisions and credit support annex agreements. Credit-risk-contingent termination events allow the counterparties to terminate the derivative agreement or a specific trade on certain dates if AIC’s, ALIC’s or Allstate Life Insurance

Company of New York’s (“ALNY”) financial strength credit ratings by Moody’s or S&P fall below a certain level. Credit-risk-contingent cross-default provisions allow the counterparties to terminate the derivative agreement if the Company defaults by pre-determined threshold amounts on certain debt instruments. Credit-risk-contingent credit support annex agreements specify the amount of collateral the Company must post to counterparties based on AIC’s, ALIC’s or ALNY’s financial strength credit ratings by Moody’s or S&P, or in the event AIC, ALIC or ALNY are no longer rated by either Moody’s or S&P.

Note 8	Reserve for Property and Casualty Insurance Claims and Claims Expense

The Company establishes reserves for claims and claims expense on reported and unreported claims of insured losses. The Company’s reserving process takes into account known facts and interpretations of circumstances and factors including the Company’s experience with similar cases, actual claims paid, historical trends involving claim payment patterns and pending levels of unpaid claims, loss management programs, product mix and contractual terms, changes in law and regulation, judicial decisions, and economic conditions. In the normal course of business, the Company may also supplement its claims processes by utilizing third-party adjusters, appraisers, engineers, inspectors, and other professionals and information sources to assess and settle catastrophe and non-catastrophe related claims. The effects of inflation are implicitly considered in the reserving process.

Because reserves are estimates of unpaid portions of losses that have occurred, including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses, the establishment of appropriate reserves, including reserves for catastrophes, Discontinued Lines and Coverages and reinsurance and indemnification recoverables, is an inherently uncertain and complex process. The ultimate cost of losses may vary materially from recorded amounts, which are based on management’s best estimates. The highest degree of uncertainty is associated with reserves for losses incurred in the

current reporting period as it contains the greatest proportion of losses that have not been reported or settled. The Company regularly updates its reserve estimates as new information becomes available and as events unfold that may affect the resolution of unsettled claims. Changes in prior year reserve estimates, which may be material, are reported in property and casualty insurance claims and claims expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period such changes are determined.

Management believes that the reserve for property and casualty insurance claims and claims expense, net of recoverables, is appropriately established in the aggregate and adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of reported and unreported claims arising from losses which had occurred by the date of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position based on available facts, technology, laws and regulations.

Allstate’s reserves for asbestos claims were $826 million and $866 million, net of recoverables of $381 million and $400 million, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Reserves for environmental claims were $155 million and $170 million, net of recoverables of $36 million and $39 million, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

⁽¹⁾Recoverables comprises reinsurance and indemnification recoverables.

Incurred claims and claims expense represents the sum of paid losses and reserve changes in the period. This expense included losses from catastrophes of $1.75 billion and $1.27 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, net of recoverables. Catastrophes are an inherent risk of the property and casualty insurance business that have contributed to, and will continue to contribute to, material year-to-year fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, incurred claims and claims expense included $74 million of favorable prior year reserve reestimates, increasing net income. This $74 million favorable prior year reserve reestimates included favorable prior year reserve reestimates excluding catastrophes of $130 million, partially offset by $56 million of unfavorable prior year reserve reestimates related to catastrophes.

Second Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q 41

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Favorable prior year reserve reestimates excluding catastrophes is comprised of net decreases in reserves of $154 million, primarily due to continued favorable personal lines auto injury coverage development, offset by net increases of $24 million, related to commercial lines, Discontinued Lines and Coverages and other personal lines of $17 million, $5 million and $2 million, respectively. Unfavorable catastrophe loss reestimates of $56 million, net of recoverables, included $57 million of unfavorable reestimates related

to homeowners and $6 million of unfavorable reestimates related to other personal lines, partially offset by $7 million of favorable reestimates, primarily related to auto. The unfavorable catastrophe reestimates included $20 million of reinstatement reinsurance premiums incurred during the period related to the 2018 Camp Fire, which primarily impacted homeowners reestimates.

Reinsurance Recoverables As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $9.29 billion of reinsurance and indemnification recoverables, including $796 million of reinsurance recoverables for its life insurance business. Of the $796 million, the Company had $64 million of reinsurance recoverables, net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts, related to Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. On December 14, 2018, the Delaware Insurance Commissioner placed Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. under regulatory supervision. On March 6, 2019, the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware entered a Rehabilitation and Injunction Order (the “Rehabilitation Order”) in response to a petition filed by the Insurance Commissioner (the “Petition”). Pursuant to the Petition, it is expected that Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. will

submit a Plan of Rehabilitation and will not make payments relating to the claims or losses of ceding insurers. Allstate joined in a joint motion filed on behalf of several affected parties asking the court to allow a specified amount of offsetting claim payments and losses against premiums remitted to Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. Allstate also filed a separate motion related to the reimbursement of claim payments where Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. is also acting as administrator. The Court has not yet ruled on either of these motions.

The Company continues to monitor Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. for future developments and will reevaluate its allowance for uncollectible amounts as new information becomes available.



Note 10	Capital Structure

Issuance of debt On June 10, 2019, the Company issued $500 million of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2049. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 10 and August 10 of each year, beginning on February 10, 2020. The Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the applicable redemption price prior to the maturity date. The proceeds of this issuance will be used for general corporate purposes.

Note 11	Company Restructuring

The Company undertakes various programs to reduce expenses. These programs generally involve a reduction in staffing levels, and in certain cases, office closures. Restructuring and related charges primarily include the following costs related to these programs:


•	Employee - severance and relocation benefits


•	Exit - contract termination penalties

The expenses related to these activities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as restructuring and related charges, and totaled $9 million and $23 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $27 million and $42 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Restructuring expenses in 2019 primarily related to realignment of certain employees to centralized talent centers.

Note 12	Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

Shared markets and state facility assessments

The Company is required to participate in assigned risk plans, reinsurance facilities and joint underwriting associations in various states that provide insurance coverage to individuals or entities that otherwise are unable to purchase such coverage from private insurers.

The Company routinely reviews its exposure to assessments from these plans, facilities and government programs. Underwriting results related to these arrangements, which tend to be adverse, have been immaterial to the Company’s results of operations. Because of the Company’s participation, it may be exposed to losses that surpass the capitalization of these facilities and/or assessments from these facilities.

Guarantees

Related to the sale of Lincoln Benefit Life Company on April 1, 2014, ALIC agreed to indemnify Resolution Life Holdings, Inc. in connection with certain representations, warranties and covenants of ALIC, and certain liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction, subject to specific contractual limitations regarding ALIC’s maximum obligation. Management does not believe these indemnifications will have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

Related to the disposal through reinsurance of substantially all of its variable annuity business to Prudential in 2006, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, ALIC and ALNY, have agreed to indemnify Prudential for certain pre-closing contingent liabilities (including extra-contractual liabilities of ALIC and ALNY and liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction) that ALIC and ALNY have agreed to retain.

In addition, the Company, ALIC and ALNY will each indemnify Prudential for certain post-closing liabilities that may arise from the acts of ALIC, ALNY and their agents, including certain liabilities arising from ALIC’s and ALNY’s provision of transition services. The reinsurance agreements contain no limitations or indemnifications with regard to insurance risk transfer and transferred all of the future risks and responsibilities for performance on the underlying variable annuity contracts to Prudential, including those related to benefit guarantees. Management does not believe this agreement will have a material effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard indemnifications to contractual counterparties in connection with numerous transactions, including acquisitions and divestitures. The types of indemnifications typically provided include indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties, taxes and certain other liabilities, such as third-party lawsuits. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration and nature. In many cases, the maximum obligation is not explicitly stated and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. Consequently, the maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications is not determinable. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these obligations.

Second Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q 43

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The aggregate liability balance related to all guarantees was not material as of June 30, 2019.

Regulation and compliance

The Company is subject to extensive laws, regulations, administrative directives, and regulatory actions. From time to time, regulatory authorities or legislative bodies seek to influence and restrict premium rates, require premium refunds to policyholders, require reinstatement of terminated policies, prescribe rules or guidelines on how affiliates compete in the marketplace, restrict the ability of insurers to cancel or non-renew policies, require insurers to continue to write new policies or limit their ability to write new policies, limit insurers’ ability to change coverage terms or to impose underwriting standards, impose additional regulations regarding agency and broker compensation, regulate the nature of and amount of investments, impose fines and penalties for unintended errors or mistakes, impose additional regulations regarding cybersecurity and privacy, and otherwise expand overall regulation of insurance products and the insurance industry. In addition, the Company is subject to laws and regulations administered and enforced by federal agencies, international agencies, and other organizations, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the U.S. Department of Justice. The Company has established procedures and policies to facilitate compliance with laws and regulations, to foster prudent business operations, and to support financial reporting. The Company routinely reviews its practices to validate compliance with laws and regulations and with internal procedures and policies. As a result of these reviews, from time to time the Company may decide to modify some of its procedures and policies. Such modifications, and the reviews that led to them, may be accompanied by payments being made and costs being incurred. The ultimate changes and eventual effects of these actions on the Company’s business, if any, are uncertain.

Legal and regulatory proceedings and inquiries

The Company and certain subsidiaries are involved in a number of lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings arising out of various aspects of its business.

Background These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including the underlying facts of each matter; novel legal issues; variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, heard, or investigated; changes in assigned judges; differences or developments in applicable laws and judicial interpretations; judges reconsidering prior rulings; the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement, through litigation, or otherwise; adjustments with respect to anticipated trial schedules and other proceedings; developments in similar actions against other companies; the fact that some of

the lawsuits are putative class actions in which a class has not been certified and in which the purported class may not be clearly defined; the fact that some of the lawsuits involve multi-state class actions in which the applicable law(s) for the claims at issue is in dispute and therefore unclear; and the challenging legal environment faced by corporations and insurance companies.

The outcome of these matters may be affected by decisions, verdicts, and settlements, and the timing of such decisions, verdicts, and settlements, in other individual and class action lawsuits that involve the Company, other insurers, or other entities and by other legal, governmental, and regulatory actions that involve the Company, other insurers, or other entities. The outcome may also be affected by future state or federal legislation, the timing or substance of which cannot be predicted.

In the lawsuits, plaintiffs seek a variety of remedies which may include equitable relief in the form of injunctive and other remedies and monetary relief in the form of contractual and extra-contractual damages. In some cases, the monetary damages sought may include punitive or treble damages. Often specific information about the relief sought, such as the amount of damages, is not available because plaintiffs have not requested specific relief in their pleadings. When specific monetary demands are made, they are often set just below a state court jurisdictional limit in order to seek the maximum amount available in state court, regardless of the specifics of the case, while still avoiding the risk of removal to federal court. In Allstate’s experience, monetary demands in pleadings bear little relation to the ultimate loss, if any, to the Company.

In connection with regulatory examinations and proceedings, government authorities may seek various forms of relief, including penalties, restitution, and changes in business practices. The Company may not be advised of the nature and extent of relief sought until the final stages of the examination or proceeding.

Accrual and disclosure policy The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for such matters at management’s best estimate when the Company assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not establish accruals for such matters when the Company does not believe both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s assessment of whether a loss is reasonably possible, or probable, is based on its assessment of the ultimate outcome of the matter following all appeals. The Company does not include potential recoveries in its estimates of reasonably possible or probable losses. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

The Company continues to monitor its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings for

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

further developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and estimable, and accordingly accruable, or that could affect the amount of accruals that have been previously established. There may continue to be exposure to loss in excess of any amount accrued. Disclosure of the nature and amount of an accrual is made when there have been sufficient legal and factual developments such that the Company’s ability to resolve the matter would not be impaired by the disclosure of the amount of accrual.

When the Company assesses it is reasonably possible or probable that a loss has been incurred, it discloses the matter. When it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any, for the matters disclosed, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed. Disclosure is not required when an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made.

For certain of the matters described below in the “Claims related proceedings” and “Other proceedings” subsections, the Company is able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any. In determining whether it is possible to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, the Company reviews and evaluates the disclosed matters, in conjunction with counsel, in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments.

These developments may include information learned through the discovery process, rulings on dispositive motions, settlement discussions, information obtained from other sources, experience from managing these and other matters, and other rulings by courts, arbitrators or others. When the Company possesses sufficient appropriate information to develop an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed below. There may be other disclosed matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, but such an estimate is not possible. Disclosure of the estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss above the amount accrued, if any, for any individual matter would only be considered when there have been sufficient legal and factual developments such that the Company’s ability to resolve the matter would not be impaired by the disclosure of the individual estimate.

The Company currently estimates that the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if any, for the disclosed matters where such an estimate is possible is zero to $115 million, pre-tax. This disclosure is not an indication of expected loss, if any. Under accounting guidance, an event is “reasonably possible” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely” and an event is “remote” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.” This estimate is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimate will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. The estimate does not include matters or losses for which an

estimate is not possible. Therefore, this estimate represents an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company’s maximum possible loss exposure. Information is provided below regarding the nature of all of the disclosed matters and, where specified, the amount, if any, of plaintiff claims associated with these loss contingencies.

Due to the complexity and scope of the matters disclosed in the “Claims related proceedings” and “Other proceedings” subsections below and the many uncertainties that exist, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted and in the Company’s judgment, a loss, in excess of amounts accrued, if any, is not probable. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in one or more of these matters, the ultimate liability may be in excess of amounts currently accrued, if any, and may be material to the Company’s operating results or cash flows for a particular quarterly or annual period. However, based on information currently known to it, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all matters described below, as they are resolved over time, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Claims related proceedings The Company is managing various disputes in Florida that raise challenges to the Company’s practices, processes, and procedures relating to claims for personal injury protection benefits under Florida auto policies. Medical providers continue to pursue litigation under various theories that challenge the amounts that the Company pays under the personal injury protection benefits. There are pending putative class actions and litigation involving individual plaintiffs. The Company is vigorously asserting both procedural and substantive defenses to these lawsuits.

Other proceedings The case of Jack Jimenez, et al. v. Allstate Insurance Company was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on September 30, 2010. Plaintiffs allege off-the-clock wage and hour claims and other California Labor Code violations resulting from purported unpaid overtime. Plaintiffs seek recovery of unpaid compensation, liquidated damages, penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The court certified a class that includes all adjusters in the state of California, except auto field adjusters, from September 29, 2006 to final judgment. Allstate’s appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and then to the U.S. Supreme Court did not result in decertification. No trial date is calendared.

The stockholder derivative actions described below are disclosed pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements for these types of matters. The putative class action alleging violations of the federal securities laws is disclosed because it involves similar allegations to those made in the stockholder derivative actions.

Biefeldt / IBEW Consolidated Action. Two separately filed stockholder derivative actions have been consolidated into a single proceeding that is pending in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division. The original complaint in the first-

Second Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q 45

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

filed of those actions, Biefeldt v. Wilson, et al., was filed on August 3, 2017, in that court by a plaintiff alleging that she is a stockholder of the Company. On June 29, 2018, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss that complaint for failure to make a pre-suit demand on the Allstate board before instituting the suit, but granted the plaintiff permission to file an amended complaint. The original complaint in IBEW Local No. 98 Pension Fund v. Wilson, et al., was filed on April 12, 2018, in the same court by another plaintiff alleging to be a stockholder of the Company. After the court issued its dismissal decision in the Biefeldt action, the plaintiffs agreed to consolidate the two actions and filed a consolidated amended complaint naming the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, its former president, and certain present or former members of the board of directors. In that complaint, the plaintiffs allege that the directors and officer defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with allegedly material misstatements or omissions concerning the Company’s automobile insurance claim frequency statistics and the reasons for a claim frequency increase for Allstate brand auto insurance between October 2014 and August 3, 2015. The factual allegations are substantially similar to those at issue in In re The Allstate Corp. Securities Litigation. The plaintiffs further allege that a senior officer and several outside directors engaged in stock option exercises allegedly while in possession of material nonpublic information. The plaintiffs seek, on behalf of the Company, an unspecified amount of damages and various forms of equitable relief. Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint on September 24, 2018 for failure to make a demand on the Allstate board. On May 14, 2019, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, but allowed the plaintiffs leave to file a second consolidated amended complaint by June 11, 2019. On June 3, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion to stay the action, or in the alternative defer the filing of the second consolidated amended complaint, to allow the plaintiffs to conduct an inspection of the Company’s books and records.

In Sundquist v. Wilson, et al., another plaintiff alleging to be a stockholder of the Company filed a stockholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on May 21, 2018. The plaintiff seeks, on behalf of the Company, an unspecified amount of damages and various forms of equitable relief. The complaint names as defendants the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, its former president, its former chief financial officer, who is now the Company’s vice chairman, and certain present or former members of the board of directors.

The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty based on allegations similar to those asserted in In re The Allstate Corp. Securities Litigation as well as state law “misappropriation” claims based on stock option transactions by the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, its former chief financial officer, who is now the Company’s vice chairman, and certain members of the board of directors. Defendants moved to dismiss and/or stay the complaint on August 7, 2018. On December 4, 2018, the court granted the defendants’ motion and stayed the case pending the resolution of the consolidated Biefeldt/IBEW matter.

In re The Allstate Corp. Securities Litigation is a putative class action filed on November 11, 2016 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company and two of its officers asserting claims under the federal securities laws. Plaintiffs allege that they purchased Allstate common stock during the putative class period and suffered damages as the result of the conduct alleged. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages, costs, attorney’s fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. Plaintiffs allege that the Company and certain senior officers made allegedly material misstatements or omissions concerning claim frequency statistics and the reasons for a claim frequency increase for Allstate brand auto insurance between October 2014 and August 3, 2015.

Plaintiffs’ further allege that a senior officer engaged in stock option exercises during that time allegedly while in possession of material nonpublic information about Allstate brand auto insurance claim frequency. The Company, its chairman, president and chief executive officer, and its former president are the named defendants. After the court denied their motion to dismiss on February 27, 2018, defendants answered the complaint, denying plaintiffs’ allegations that there was any misstatement or omission or other misconduct. On June 22, 2018, plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification, which was fully briefed as of January 11, 2019. On September 12, 2018, the court allowed the lead plaintiffs to amend their complaint to add the City of Providence Employee Retirement System as a proposed class representative. The amended complaint was filed the same day. On March 26, 2019, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and certified a class consisting of all persons who purchased Allstate common stock between October 29, 2014 and August 3, 2015. On April 9, 2019, defendants filed with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals a petition for permission to appeal this ruling pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 (f) and the Court of Appeals granted that petition on April 25, 2019. On June 10, 2019, defendants filed their appellate brief in support of their appeal of the district court order granting class certification.

Differences between expected and actual returns and changes in assumptions affect our pension and other postretirement obligations, plan assets and expenses. Pension and other postretirement remeasurement losses were $125 million and $140 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to remeasurement gains of $7 million and remeasurement losses of $7 million for the same periods of 2018.

The increased loss in both periods was primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to value the liabilities, partially offset by favorable asset performance compared to the expected return on plan assets.

The weighted average discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation decreased to 3.53% at June 30, 2019 compared to 3.87% at March 31, 2019 and 4.30% at December 31, 2018. Pension and other postretirement remeasurement losses due to declines in the weighted average discount rate were $308 million and $714 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2019, we recognized participant experience different from our demographic assumptions for mortality, terminations and retirements and the percentage of employees taking lump sum distributions which resulted in remeasurement losses of $42 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2019 compared to $75 million for the same periods of 2018.

For the second quarter and first six months of 2019, the actual return on plan assets was higher than our expected return by $225 million and $616 million, respectively, due to strong equity market performance and declines in interest rates which increased the fair value of our fixed income investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Allstate Corporation

Northbrook, Illinois 60062

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Allstate Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated statement of financial position of The Allstate Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, 2019 (May 16, 2019, as to the effects of the retrospective adoption of the change in principles of accounting for recognizing pension and other postretirement benefit plan costs), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements (which report expresses an unmodified opinion and includes an emphasis of a matter paragraph relating to a change in accounting principle for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities). In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2018 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of the condensed consolidated financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Emphasis of a Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company elected to change its principles of accounting for recognizing pension and other postretirement benefit plan costs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Overview

To achieve its goals in 2019, Allstate is focused on the following priorities:

• Better serve customers

• Achieve target economic returns on capital

• Grow customer base

• Proactively manage investments

• Build long-term growth platforms

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 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 2018, filed February 15, 2019, and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 16, 2019, Exhibit 99.1, reflecting the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K with adjustments to Part II. Item 6., Item 7. and Item 8. for the Company’s change in accounting principle for pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Further analysis of our insurance segments is provided in the Property-Liability Operations and Segment Results sections, including Allstate Protection, Discontinued Lines and Coverages, Service Businesses, Allstate Life, Allstate Benefits, and Allstate Annuities, 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.

Measuring segment profit or loss

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 of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges, as determined using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use this measure in our evaluation of results of operations to analyze the profitability of the Property-Liability insurance operations separately from investment results. Underwriting income is reconciled to net income applicable to common shareholders in the Property-Liability Operations section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Adjusted net income is net income applicable to common shareholders, excluding:

• Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses, after-tax

• Valuation changes on embedded derivatives not hedged, after-tax

• Amortization of DAC and deferred sales inducement costs (“DSI”), to the extent they resulted from the recognition of certain realized capital gains and losses or valuation changes on embedded derivatives not hedged, after-tax

• Business combination expenses and the amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles, after-tax

• Gain (loss) on disposition of operations, after-tax

Adjusted net income is reconciled to net income applicable to common shareholders in the Service Businesses, Allstate Life, Allstate Benefits and Allstate Annuities Segment sections of MD&A.

Highlights



Consolidated net income
($ in millions)

Consolidated net income applicable to common shareholders increased 21.1% and 25.8% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by net realized capital gains in 2019 compared to net realized capital losses in 2018 and higher premiums earned, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses.

The Property-Liability combined ratios were 95.8 and 93.8 in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to 94.4 and 91.0 in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively.



Total revenue
($ in millions)

Total revenue increased 10.3% and 11.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, driven by net realized capital gains in 2019 compared to net realized capital losses in 2018 and a 5.9% increase in insurance premiums and contract charges in both the second quarter and first six months of 2019. Insurance premiums increased in the following segments: Allstate Protection (Allstate and Esurance brands), Service Businesses (SquareTrade and Allstate Dealer Services), Allstate Life and Allstate Benefits.



Net investment income
($ in millions)

Net investment income decreased 1.2% or $20 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnerships, partially offset by higher income from market-based portfolios.

Segment highlights

Allstate Protection underwriting income totaled $370 million in the second quarter of 2019, a 19.2% decrease from $458 million in the second quarter of 2018. Underwriting income totaled $1.07 billion in the first six months of 2019, a 26.8% decrease from $1.47 billion in the first six months of 2018. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, claim severity and policy acquisition costs, partially offset by increased premiums earned, improved auto claim frequency and lower other costs and expenses.

Catastrophe losses were $1.07 billion and $1.75 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to $906 million and $1.27 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively.

Premiums written increased 5.9% to $9.04 billion in the second quarter of 2019 and 6.0% to $17.37 billion in the first six months of 2019, compared to the same periods of 2018.

Service Businesses adjusted net income was $16 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income was $27 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to an adjusted net loss of $1 million in the first six months of 2018. The improvements in both periods were primarily due to growth and improved loss experience at SquareTrade and favorable loss experience at Allstate Dealer Services, partially offset by higher operating expenses related to investing in

growth at SquareTrade and InfoArmor and integrating the InfoArmor business.

Total revenues increased 26.6% to $405 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 25.9% to $797 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to SquareTrade’s growth through its U.S. retail and international distribution partners and the acquisitions of InfoArmor, PlumChoice and iCracked.

Allstate Life adjusted net income was $68 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $80 million in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income was $141 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $151 million in the first six months of 2018. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to higher contract benefits and operating costs and expenses, partially offset by higher premiums, lower amortization of DAC and increased other revenue.

Premiums and contract charges increased 2.1% to $333 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2.6% to $670 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to the same periods of 2018.

Allstate Benefits adjusted net income was $37 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $36 million in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income was $68 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $65 million in the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower contract benefits and higher premiums, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses.

www.allstate.com

Premiums and contract charges increased 0.4% to $284 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 0.5% to $572 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to the same periods of 2018.

Allstate Annuities adjusted net income was $52 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $44 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower interest credited to contractholder funds and higher net investment income, partially offset by higher contract benefits. Adjusted net income was $27 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $79 million in the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower net investment income, partially offset by lower interest credited to contractholder funds.

Net investment income increased 1.0% to $296 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, due to higher performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnership interests, partially offset by lower average investment balances. Net investment income decreased 16.6% to $486 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, due to lower performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnership interests, and lower average investment balances.

Financial highlights

Investments totaled $86.49 billion as of June 30, 2019, increasing from $81.26 billion as of December 31, 2018. Unrealized net capital gains totaled $2.47 billion as of June 30, 2019 compared to $33 million as of December 31, 2018.

Shareholders’ equity As of June 30, 2019, shareholders’ equity was $24.48 billion. This total included $2.82 billion in deployable assets at the parent holding company level comprising cash and investments that are generally saleable within one quarter.

Book value per diluted common share (ratio of common shareholders’ equity to total common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding) was $67.28, an increase of 13.7% from $59.16 as of June 30, 2018, and an increase of 16.9% from $57.56 as of December 31, 2018.

Return on average common shareholders’ equity For the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, net

income applicable to common shareholders’ return on the average of beginning and ending period common shareholders’ equity of 11.2% decreased by 7.3 points from 18.5% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to lower net income applicable to common shareholders for the trailing twelve-month period ended June 30, 2019, and an increase in average common shareholders’ equity. The June 30, 2018 trailing twelve-month calculation includes a one-time $509 million Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 benefit, which contributed 2.5 points to the June 30, 2018 return on average common shareholders’ equity.

Change in accounting principle

We changed our accounting principle for recognizing actuarial gains and losses and expected return on plan assets for our pension and other postretirement plans to a more preferable policy under U.S. GAAP. Under the new principle, remeasurement of projected benefit obligation and plan assets are immediately recognized through earnings and are referred to as pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This change has been applied on a retrospective basis. The following table provides a summary of the impacts of this change. See Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pension and other postretirement measurement gains and losses In the second quarter of 2019, pension and other postretirement measurement losses increased to $125 million compared to a gain of $7 million in the same period of 2018. Pension and other postretirement measurement losses increased to $140 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $7 million in the same period of 2018. The increase in losses in both periods was primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to value the liabilities, partially offset by favorable asset performance compared to the expected return on plan assets. See Note 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Property-Liability Operations

Overview Our Property-Liability operations consist of two reportable segments: Allstate Protection and Discontinued Lines and Coverages. 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, realized capital gains and losses, or assets to the Allstate Protection and Discontinued Lines and Coverages segments. Management reviews assets at the Property-Liability level for decision-making purposes.

The table below includes GAAP operating ratios we use to measure our profitability. We believe that they enhance an investor’s understanding of our profitability. They are calculated as follows:


•	Loss ratio: the ratio of claims and claims expense to premiums earned. Loss ratios include the impact of catastrophe losses.


•	Expense ratio: the ratio of amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges, less other revenue to premiums earned.

•

Combined ratio: the ratio of claims and claims expense, amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges, less other revenue to premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The difference between 100% and the combined ratio represents underwriting income as a percentage of premiums earned, or underwriting margin.

We have also calculated the following impacts of specific items on the GAAP operating ratios because of the volatility of these items between fiscal periods.


•	Effect of catastrophe losses on combined ratio: the ratio of catastrophe losses included in claims and claims expense to premiums earned. This ratio includes prior year reserve reestimates of catastrophe losses.


•	Effect of prior year reserve reestimates on combined ratio: the ratio of prior year reserve reestimates included in claims and claims expense to premiums earned. This ratio includes prior year reserve reestimates of catastrophe losses.


•	Effect of amortization of purchased intangibles on combined ratio: the ratio of amortization of purchased intangibles to premiums earned.


•	Effect of restructuring and related charges on combined ratio: the ratio of restructuring and related charges to premiums earned.


•	Effect of Discontinued Lines and Coverages on combined ratio: the ratio of claims and claims expense and operating costs and expenses in the Discontinued Lines and Coverages segment to Property-Liability premiums earned. The sum of the effect of Discontinued Lines and Coverages on the combined ratio and the Allstate Protection combined ratio is equal to the Property-Liability combined ratio.

Property-Liability Operations

Net investment income increased 33.4% or $118 million to $471 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $353 million in the second quarter of 2018, due to higher performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnerships, and higher income from market-based portfolios. Performance-based investment results in the second quarter of 2019 reflect higher asset appreciation and gains on sales of underlying investments. Net investment income increased 10.4% or $72 million to $762 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $690 million in the first six months of 2018, due to higher income from market-based portfolios.

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 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. Auto policyholders generally have coverage for physical damage due to flood if they have purchased optional auto comprehensive coverage. Our homeowners policies specifically exclude coverage for losses caused by flood.

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, limited by our participation in various state facilities.

Catastrophe reinsurance Our current catastrophe reinsurance program supports our risk tolerance framework that targets less than a 1% likelihood of annual aggregate catastrophe losses from hurricanes and earthquakes, net of reinsurance, exceeding $2 billion. Our program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes resulting from multiple perils, including hurricanes, windstorms, hail, tornadoes, fires following earthquakes, earthquakes and wildfires. These reinsurance agreements are part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide our shareholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in our property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to our customers.

During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the Florida component of the program that is designed to address the distinct needs of our separately

capitalized companies in that state. Our 2019 Florida program provides coverage for losses up to $639 million, subject to a $20 million retention. The Florida program includes reinsurance agreements placed with the traditional market, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), and the Insurance Linked Securities (“ILS”) market as follows:

• The traditional market placement comprises $283 million of reinsurance limits for losses to personal lines property in Florida arising out of multiple perils. The Excess contract, which forms a part of the traditional market placement, with $249 million of limits, subject to a $20 million retention, provides coverage for perils not covered by the FHCF contracts, which only cover hurricanes.

• The FHCF contracts provide 90% of $151 million of reinsurance limits or approximately $136 million of limits for qualifying losses to personal lines

Second Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q 61

Segment Results Allstate Protection

property in Florida caused by storms the National Hurricane Center declares to be hurricanes.

• The ILS placement provides $200 million of reinsurance limits for qualifying losses to personal lines property in Florida caused by a named storm event, a severe thunderstorm event, an earthquake event, a wildfire event, a volcanic eruption event, or a meteorite impact event.

In addition, a Florida and Southeast Auto Aggregate Excess Catastrophe Contract was placed. This contract provides a single reinsurance limit at 80% of $250 million subject to a $250 million aggregate retention for catastrophe losses to personal lines and commercial lines automobile business (physical damage only) with a qualifying loss in the state of Florida. For these qualifying catastrophe events, coverage is also provided for losses to personal lines and commercial lines automobile business (physical damage only) occurring in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and/or South Carolina. The contract is a one-year term, effective June 1, 2019, covering all qualifying catastrophe events commencing before the May 31, 2020 expiration.

For a complete summary of the 2019 reinsurance placement, please read this in conjunction with the discussion and analysis in Part I. Item 2. Management Discussion Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Allstate Protection Segment Results, Catastrophe Reinsurance of The Allstate Corporation Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019.

The total cost of our catastrophe reinsurance programs during the second quarter and first six months of 2019 was $100 million and $188 million, respectively, compared to $91 million and $176 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively. The increases were due to increases in Nationwide Program costs due to growth in policies, modest rate increases and program expansion for aggregate losses.

Expense ratio decreased 1.5 points and 0.8 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018.

When analyzing premium measures and statistics for all three brands the following calculations are used as described below.


•	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. Commercial lines PIF for the agreement with a transportation network company reflects corporate contracts as opposed to individual driver 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 Protection brand. Allstate brand includes automobiles added by existing customers when they exceed the number allowed (currently 10) on a policy.

•

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. Allstate and Esurance brand policy terms are 6 months for auto and 12 months for homeowners. Encompass brand policy terms are generally 12 months for auto and homeowners.


•	Renewal ratio: Renewal policy item counts issued during the period, based on contract effective dates, divided by the total policy item counts issued 6 months prior for auto (generally 12 months prior for Encompass brand) or 12 months prior for homeowners.

•	5.6% and 5.2% increase in average premium in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to rate increases and inflationary increases in insured home valuations.


•	$4 million increase in the cost of our catastrophe reinsurance program to $73 million in the second

quarter of 2019 from $69 million in the second quarter of 2018, and $2 million increase to $136 million in the first six months of 2019 from $134 million in the first six months of 2018. Catastrophe placement premiums are recorded primarily in the Allstate brand and are a reduction of premium.

Other personal lines premiums written totaled $478 million in the second quarter of 2019, a 0.6% increase from $475 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $877 million in the first six months of 2019, a 3.2% increase from $850 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to increases in personal umbrella, condominium and landlord insurance premiums.

Commercial lines premiums written totaled $236 million in the second quarter of 2019, a 37.2% increase from $172 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $421 million in the six months of 2019, a 36.2% increase from $309 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to an agreement with a transportation network company to provide commercial auto insurance coverage. Effective March 1, 2019, we expanded this coverage to 15 states from 4 states in 2018. Growth in premiums written is not reflected in growth in policies in force as the agreement with a transportation network company reflect contracts as opposed to individual driver counts.

Frequency and severity statistics, which are influenced by driving patterns, inflation and other factors, are provided to describe the trends in loss costs of the business. Our reserving process incorporates changes in loss patterns, operational statistics and changes in claims reporting processes to determine our best estimate of recorded reserves. We use the following statistics to evaluate losses:

• Paid claim frequency ⁽¹⁾ is calculated as annualized notice counts closed with payment in the period divided by the average of PIF with the applicable coverage during the period.

• Gross claim frequency ⁽¹⁾ is calculated as annualized notice counts received in the period divided by the average of PIF with the applicable coverage during the period. Gross claim frequency includes all actual notice counts, regardless of their current status (open or closed) or their ultimate disposition (closed with a payment or closed without payment).

• Paid claim severity is calculated by dividing the sum of paid losses and loss expenses by claims closed with a payment during the period.

• Percent change in frequency or severity statistic is calculated as the amount of increase or decrease in the paid or gross claim frequency or severity in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year divided by the prior year paid or gross claim frequency or severity.


⁽¹⁾	Frequency statistics exclude counts associated with catastrophe events.

Paid claim frequency trends will often differ from gross claim frequency trends due to differences in the timing of when notices are received and when claims are settled. For property damage claims, paid frequency trends reflect smaller differences as timing between opening and settlement is generally less. For bodily injury, gross frequency trends reflect emerging trends since the difference in timing between opening and settlement is much greater and gross frequency does not experience the same volatility in quarterly fluctuations seen in paid frequency. In evaluating frequency, we typically rely upon paid frequency trends for physical damage coverages such as property damage and gross frequency for casualty coverages such as bodily injury to provide an indicator of

emerging trends in overall claim frequency while also providing insights for our analysis of severity.

We are continuing to implement new technology and process improvements that provide continued loss cost accuracy, efficient processing and enhanced customer experiences that are simple, fast and produce high degrees of satisfaction. We have opened several Digital Operating Centers to handle auto physical damage claims countrywide utilizing our virtual estimation capabilities, which includes estimating damage through photos and video with the use of QuickFoto Claim^®and Virtual Assist^®. We are also leveraging virtual capabilities to handle property claims by estimating damage through video with Virtual Assist and aerial imagery using satellites, airplanes and drones. These organizational and process changes impact frequency and severity statistics as changes in claim opening and closing practices and shifts in timing, if any, can impact comparisons to prior periods.

Auto loss ratio increased 1.7 points and 2.0 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to higher claim severity, lower favorable non-catastrophe prior year reserve estimates and higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by increased premiums earned and improved claim frequency.

Property damage paid claim frequency decreased 1.5% and 2.5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018. 38 states experienced a year over year decrease in property damage paid claim frequency in the first six months of 2019 when compared to the same period of 2018. Property damage paid claim severities increased 8.8% and 7.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018 due to the impact of higher costs to repair more sophisticated newer model vehicles, higher third-party subrogation demands and increased number of total losses.

Bodily injury gross claim frequency decreased 2.1% and 1.6% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018. Bodily injury severity trends have been increasing generally less than medical care inflation indices.

Homeowners loss ratio increased 7.2 points and 9.4 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by increased premiums earned. Paid claim frequency excluding catastrophe losses decreased 6.7% and 3.1% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018. Paid claim severity excluding catastrophe losses increased 11.7% and 6.2% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, as we experienced elevated results in fire, water and wind/hail perils. Homeowner 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 increased 3.7 points and 4.6 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by increased premiums earned.

Commercial lines loss ratio decreased 13.9 points and 8.8 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to increased premiums earned and lower unfavorable non-catastrophe prior year reserve reestimates, partially offset by higher severity. Commercial lines recorded losses related to an agreement with a transportation network company are primarily based on original pricing expectations given limited loss experience.

⁽²⁾	SquareTrade acquired PlumChoice on November 30, 2018 and iCracked on February 12, 2019.


⁽³⁾	InfoArmor was acquired on October 5, 2018.

Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $46 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $15 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $52 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $37 million in the first six months of 2018, including a $55 million intangible asset impairment related to the SquareTrade trade name in the second quarter of 2019.

Adjusted net income was $16 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income was $27 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to an adjusted

net loss of $1 million in the first six months of 2018. The improvement in both periods was primarily due to growth and improved loss experience at SquareTrade and favorable loss experience at Allstate Dealer Services, partially offset by higher operating expenses related to investing in growth at SquareTrade and InfoArmor and integrating the InfoArmor business.

Total revenues increased 26.6% to $405 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $320 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 25.9% to $797 million in the first six months of 2019 from $633 million in the first six

months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to SquareTrade’s growth through its U.S. retail and international distribution partners and the acquisitions of InfoArmor, PlumChoice and iCracked.

Premiums written increased 17.8% or $53 million to $350 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $297 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 22.9% or $134 million to $718 million in the first six months of 2019 from $584 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to continued growth at SquareTrade and increased premiums written by Allstate Dealer Services.

PIF of 89.7 million as of June 30, 2019, increased by 82.8% compared to 49.1 million as of June 30, 2018, due to continued growth at SquareTrade.

Intersegment premiums and service fees increased by 13.8% or $4 million to $33 million in second quarter 2019 from $29 million in second quarter 2018 and 13.8% or $8 million to $66 million in the first six months of 2019 from $58 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to increased auto connections through Arity’s device and mobile data collection services and analytic solutions.

Other revenue increased by $32 million to $48 million in second quarter 2019 from $16 million in second quarter 2018 and $63 million to $95 million in the first six months of 2019 from $32 million in the first six months of 2018, due to the acquisition of InfoArmor and SquareTrade’s acquisitions of PlumChoice and iCracked. All of the revenue from these acquired businesses is reported as other revenue. See Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Claims and claims expense decreased 3.4% to $86 million in second quarter 2019 compared to $89 million in second quarter 2018 and 2.2% to $178 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $182 million in the first six months of 2018. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to improved loss experience at SquareTrade and Allstate Dealer Services.

Amortization of DAC increased 18.6% or $21 million to $134 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $113 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 17.0% or $38 million to $261 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $223 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in both periods is in line with the growth experienced at SquareTrade and Allstate Dealer Services.

Operating costs and expenses increased 36.2% or $42 million to $158 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $116 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 32.6% or $76 million to $309 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $233 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to the acquisitions of InfoArmor, PlumChoice and iCracked, product development costs, investments in growing the business at SquareTrade and InfoArmor and integrating the InfoArmor business.

Amortization and impairment of purchased intangibles relates to the acquisitions of SquareTrade in 2017 and InfoArmor in 2018. We recognized $486 million and $257 million of intangible assets subject to amortization for SquareTrade and InfoArmor, respectively. We recorded amortization expense of $31 million and $62 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to $20 million and $41 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2019, we made the decision to phase-out the use of the SquareTrade trade name in the United States and sell consumer protection plans under the Allstate Protection Plan name. The SquareTrade trade name will continue to be used outside of the United States. This change in the second quarter of 2019 required an impairment evaluation of the intangible asset recognized for SquareTrade’s trade name that was recorded when SquareTrade was acquired in 2017. As a result, the Company recognized impairment of $55 million during the second quarter of 2019.

Other revenue increased 17.9% or $5 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 11.1% or $6 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same periods

of 2018, primarily due to higher gross dealer concessions earned on Allstate agencies’ sales of non-proprietary fixed and variable annuities.

Contract benefits increased 10.8% or $21 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 7.5% or $30 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to higher claim experience on both traditional and interest-sensitive life insurance.

Benefit spread reflects our mortality and morbidity results using the difference between premiums and contract charges earned for the cost of insurance and contract benefits (“benefit spread”). Benefit spread decreased 14.7% to $64 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $75 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 6.3% to $133 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $142 million in the first six months of 2018, primarily due to higher claim experience on both traditional and interest-sensitive life insurance, partially offset by growth in traditional life premiums.

Investment spread reflects the difference between net investment income and interest credited to contractholder funds (“investment spread”) and is used to analyze the impact of net investment income and interest credited to contractholder funds on net income. Investment spread decreased 6.8% to $55 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $59 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower net investment income. Investment spread decreased 0.9% to $110 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $111 million in the first six months of 2018.

Amortization of DAC decreased 17.1% or $6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 16.2% or $11 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to lower gross profits on interest-sensitive life insurance.

⁽¹⁾	The impact of realized capital gains and losses on amortization of DAC is dependent upon the relationship between the assets that give rise to the gain or loss and the product liability supported by the assets. Fluctuations result from changes in the impact of realized capital gains and losses on actual and expected gross profits.

Operating costs and expenses increased 5.8% or $5 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 7.7% or $13 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to loss contingency expense related to reinsurance as well as higher commissions on non-proprietary product sales.

Contract benefits in the second quarter of 2019 were comparable to the second quarter of 2018. Contract benefits decreased 1.4% or $4 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily due to favorable mortality experience in life products.

Benefit ratio decreased to 50.4 and 50.3 in the second quarter and the first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to 50.5 and 51.3 in the same periods of 2018, primarily due to favorable mortality experience in life products, partially offset by higher claims experience in disability products.

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $88 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $50 million in the second quarter of 2018 and was $185 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $67 million in the first six months of 2018.

Adjusted net income was $52 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $44 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower interest credited to contractholder funds and higher net investment income, partially offset by higher contract benefits. Adjusted net income was $27 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $79 million in the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower net investment income, partially offset by lower interest credited to contractholder funds.

Net investment income increased 1.0% or $3 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, due to higher performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnership interests, partially offset by lower average investment balances. Performance-based investment results in the second quarter of 2019 reflect higher asset appreciation and gains on sales of underlying investments. Net investment income decreased 16.6% or $97 million in the first six months of 2019 compared

to the first six months of 2018, due to lower performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnership interests, and lower average investment balances.

Net realized capital gains in both the second quarter of 2019 and the first six months of 2019 primarily related to increased valuation of equity investments and gains on sales of fixed income securities.

Contract benefits increased 4.8% or $7 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to worse immediate annuity mortality experience. Contract benefits decreased 1.7% or $5 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower implied interest on immediate annuities with life contingencies.

Benefit spread reflects our mortality results using the difference between contract charges earned and contract benefits excluding the portion related to the implied interest on immediate annuities with life contingencies. This implied interest totaled $119 million and $240 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to $123 million and $247 million in the second quarter and first

six months of 2018, respectively. Total benefit spread was $(31) million in second quarter 2019 compared to $(21) million in second quarter 2018 and $(46) million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $(45) million in the first six months of 2018.

Interest credited to contractholder funds decreased 8.2% or $7 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 5.4% or $9 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018, primarily due to lower average contractholder funds. Valuation changes on derivatives embedded in equity-indexed annuity contracts that are not hedged increased interest credited to contractholder funds by $3 million

and $6 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, compared to decreases of $2 million and $6 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively.

Investment spread reflects the difference between net investment income and the sum of interest credited to contractholder funds and the implied interest on immediate annuities with life contingencies, which is included as a component of contract benefits and is used to analyze the impact of net investment income and interest credited to contractholders on net income.

Investment spread before valuation changes on embedded derivatives not hedged increased by $19 million to $102 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $83 million in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to lower interest credited to contractholder funds as well as higher investment income, mainly from limited partnership interests. Investment spread before valuation changes on embedded derivatives not hedged decreased by $69 million to $93 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $162 million in the first six months of 2018 primarily due to lower investment income, mainly from

limited partnership interests, partially offset by lower interest credited to contractholder funds.

To further analyze investment spreads, the following table summarizes the weighted average investment yield on assets supporting product liabilities, interest crediting rates and investment spreads. Investment spreads may vary significantly between periods due to the variability in investment income, particularly for immediate fixed annuities where the investment portfolio includes performance-based investments.

Contractholder funds represent interest-bearing liabilities arising from the sale of products such as fixed annuities. The balance of contractholder funds is equal to the cumulative deposits received and interest credited to the contractholder less cumulative contract benefits, surrenders, withdrawals and contract charges for mortality or administrative expenses. The following table shows the changes in contractholder funds.

⁽¹⁾

Contractholder funds decreased 2.3% and 4.8% in the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively, primarily due to the continued runoff of our deferred fixed annuity business. We discontinued the sale of annuities but still accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

Surrenders and partial withdrawals decreased 33.9% to $150 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $227 million in the second quarter of 2018. Surrenders and partial withdrawals decreased 22.7% to $331 million in the first six months of 2019 from $428 million in the first six months of 2018.

The annualized surrender and partial withdrawal rate on deferred fixed annuities, based on the beginning of year contractholder funds, was 10.1% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 11.4% in the first six months of 2018.

⁽⁴⁾	Short-term investments are carried at fair value.

Investments totaled $86.49 billion as of June 30, 2019, increasing from $81.26 billion as of December 31, 2018, primarily due to higher fixed income and equity valuations, positive operating cash flows and issuance of senior debt, partially offset by common share repurchases, dividends paid to shareholders, net reductions in contractholder funds and repayment of senior debt.

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 or assets may be moved between strategies.

Market-based strategies include investments primarily in public fixed income and equity securities. Market-based core seeks to deliver predictable earnings aligned to business needs and returns consistent with the markets in which we invest. Private fixed income assets, such as commercial mortgages, bank loans and privately placed debt that provide liquidity premiums are also included in this category. Market-based active seeks to outperform within the public markets through tactical positioning and by taking advantage of short-term opportunities. This category may generate results that meaningfully deviate from those achieved by market indices, both favorably and unfavorably.

Performance-based strategy seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns and supplement market risk with idiosyncratic risk primarily through investments in private equity and real estate.

Fixed income securities are rated by third-party credit rating agencies and/or are internally rated. As of June 30, 2019, 87.7% of the consolidated fixed income securities portfolio was rated investment grade, which is defined as a security having a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s, a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from S&P, a comparable rating from another nationally recognized rating agency, or a comparable internal rating if an externally provided rating is not available. Credit ratings below these designations are considered

low 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 thorough due diligence process which includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of the credit quality, sector, structure, and liquidity risks of each issue.

⁽¹⁾	Total Consumer and other ABS consists of $136 million of consumer auto, $127 million of credit card and $242 million of other ABS with unrealized net capital gains of $1 million, $1 million and $4 million, respectively.

Municipal bonds include general obligations of state and local issuers and revenue bonds (including pre-refunded bonds, which are bonds for which an irrevocable trust has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest).

Corporate bonds include publicly traded and privately placed securities. Privately placed securities primarily consist of corporate issued senior debt securities that are directly negotiated with the borrower or are in unregistered form.

ABS includes CDO and 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 and/or insurance.

CDO consist of obligations collateralized by cash flow CDO, which are structures collateralized primarily by below investment grade senior secured corporate loans.

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 consists of a U.S. Agency portfolio having collateral issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and a non-agency portfolio consisting of securities collateralized by Prime, Alt-A and Subprime loans.

CMBS investments are primarily traditional conduit transactions collateralized by commercial mortgage loans, broadly diversified across property types and geographical area.

Equity securities totaled $7.91 billion as of June 30, 2019 and primarily include common stocks, exchange traded and mutual funds, non-redeemable preferred stocks and real estate investment trust equity investments. Exchange traded and mutual funds that have fixed income securities as their underlying investments totaled $1.98 billion as of June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.58 billion compared to December 31, 2018.

Mortgage loans, which are primarily held in the life and annuity portfolios, totaled $4.69 billion as of June 30, 2019, and primarily comprise loans secured by first mortgages on developed commercial real estate.

The consumer goods, utilities and capital goods sectors comprise 29%, 13% and 12%, respectively, of the carrying value of our corporate fixed income securities portfolio as of June 30, 2019. The consumer goods, banking and utilities sectors had the highest concentration of gross unrealized losses in our corporate fixed income securities portfolio as of June 30, 2019.

In general, the gross unrealized losses are related to an increase in market yields which may include increased risk-free interest rates and/or 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.

Net investment income increased 14.3% or $118 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnership interests, and higher income from market-based portfolios. Net investment income decreased 1.2% or $20 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnership interests, partially offset by higher income from market-based portfolios.

Performance-based investment income increased 44.6% or $86 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher asset appreciation and gains on sales of underlying investments. Performance-based investment income decreased 22.3% or $87 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily due to lower asset appreciation related to private equity investments. The five highest contributing performance-based investments in each period generated investment

income of $80 million and $92 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Capital resources consist of shareholders’ equity and debt, representing funds deployed or available to be deployed to support business operations or for general corporate purposes.



Capital resources

Preferred stock, common stock, treasury stock, retained income and other shareholders’ equity items	$	22,716		$	21,194

Ratio of debt to shareholders’ equity	27.1		%	30.3		%
Ratio of debt to capital resources	21.3		%	23.2		%

Shareholders’ equity increased in the first six months of 2019, primarily due to increased unrealized capital gains on investments and net income. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid dividends of $324 million and $61 million related to our common and preferred shares, respectively.

Common share repurchases As of June 30, 2019, there was $1.57 billion remaining on the $3.00 billion common share repurchase program that is expected to be completed by April 2020. Funding for the repurchase program may include potential preferred stock issuances of up to $1.00 billion. In December 2018, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), to purchase $1.00 billion of our outstanding common stock. This ASR agreement was completed on May 3, 2019. Under the ASR agreement, we paid $1.00 billion and acquired 11.1 million shares of which 417 thousand were delivered in 2019.

During the first six months of 2019, we repurchased 4.0 million common shares for $498 million.

Common shareholder dividends On January 2, 2019 and April 1, 2019, we paid common shareholder dividends of $0.46 and $0.50, respectively. On May 21, 2019 and July 17, 2019, we declared common shareholder dividends of $0.50 and $0.50 payable on July 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019, respectively.

Issuance of debt On June 10, 2019, we issued $500 million of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2049. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 10 and August 10 of each year, beginning on February 10, 2020. The Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the applicable redemption price prior to the maturity date. The proceeds of this issuance will be used for general corporate purposes.

Repayment of debt On May 16, 2019 we repaid $317 million of 7.450% Senior Notes, Series B, at maturity.

Financial ratings and strength Our ratings are influenced by many factors including our operating and financial performance, asset quality, liquidity, asset/liability management, 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.

In May 2019, A.M. Best affirmed The Allstate Corporation’s debt and short-term issuer ratings of a and AMB-1+, respectively, and the insurer financial strength ratings of A+ for Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”), Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”), and Allstate Assurance Company (“AAC”). The outlook for the ratings is stable.

In June 2019, S&P Global affirmed The Allstate Corporation’s debt and short-term issuer ratings of A- and A-2, respectively, and the insurance financial strength ratings of AA- for AIC and A+ for ALIC. The outlook for the ratings is stable.

In July 2019, Moody’s affirmed The Allstate Corporation’s debt and short-term issuer ratings of A3 and P-2, respectively, and the insurance financial strength rating of Aa3 for AIC. Moody’s downgraded ALIC and AAC insurance financial strength ratings to A2 from A1 reflecting Moody’s shift to a more standard single rating level positive adjustment for subsidiary company ratings. The outlook for the ratings is stable.

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. Additionally, we have existing intercompany agreements in place that facilitate liquidity management across the Company to enhance flexibility.

The Allstate Corporation is party to an Amended and Restated Intercompany Liquidity Agreement (“Liquidity Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries, which include, but are not limited to ALIC and AIC. The

Second Quarter 2019 Form 10-Q 97

Capital Resources and Liquidity

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. ALIC and AIC each serve as a lender and borrower, certain other subsidiaries serve only as borrowers, and the Corporation serves only as a lender. AIC also has a capital support agreement with ALIC. Under the capital support agreement, AIC is committed to providing capital to ALIC to maintain an adequate capital level. 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 include, but are not limited to, AIC and ALIC. The amount of intercompany loans available to the Corporation’s subsidiaries is at the discretion of the Corporation. The maximum amount of 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 Parent holding company deployable assets totaled $2.82 billion as of June 30, 2019, comprised of cash and investments that are generally saleable within one quarter. The substantial earnings capacity of the operating subsidiaries is the primary source of capital generation for the Corporation.

Intercompany dividends were paid in the first six months of 2019 between the following companies: AIC, Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC (“AIH”), the Corporation and ALIC.



Intercompany dividends
($ in millions)	June 30, 2019
AIC to AIH	$	1,878
AIH to the Corporation	1,878
ALIC to AIC	75

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. We are prohibited from declaring or paying dividends on our preferred stock if we fail to meet specified capital adequacy, net income or shareholders’ equity levels, except out of the net proceeds of common stock issued during the 90 days prior to the date of declaration. As of June 30, 2019, we satisfied all of the tests with no current restrictions on the payment of preferred stock dividends.

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 six months of 2019, we did not defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures.

Additional resources to support liquidity are as follows:


•	The Corporation has access to a commercial paper facility with a borrowing limit of $1.00 billion to cover short-term cash needs. As of June 30, 2019, there were no balances outstanding and therefore the remaining borrowing capacity was $1.00 billion; however, the outstanding balance can fluctuate daily.

•

The Corporation, AIC and ALIC have access to a $1.00 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for short-term liquidity requirements. The maturity date of this facility is April 2021. The facility is fully subscribed among 11 lenders with the largest commitment being $115 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. 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 16.6% as of June 30, 2019. 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 2019.

•

The Corporation has access to a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that expires in 2021. We can use this shelf registration to issue an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock (including 570 million shares of treasury stock as of June 30, 2019), preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units and securities of trust subsidiaries. The specific terms of any securities we issue under this registration statement will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplements.

⁽²⁾	$430 million of the contracts with market value adjusted surrenders have a 30-45 day period at the end of their initial and subsequent interest rate guarantee periods (which are typically 1, 5, 7 or 10 years) during which there is no surrender charge or market value adjustment.


⁽³⁾	89% of these contracts have a minimum interest crediting rate guarantee of 3% or higher.


⁽⁴⁾	Includes $693 million of contractholder funds on variable annuities reinsured to The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a subsidiary of Prudential Financial Inc., in 2006.

Retail life and annuity products may be surrendered by customers for a variety of reasons. Reasons unique to individual customers include a current or unexpected need for cash or a change in life insurance coverage needs. Other key factors that may impact the likelihood of customer surrender include the level of the contract surrender charge, the length of time the contract has been in force, distribution channel, market interest rates, equity market conditions and potential tax implications.

In addition, the propensity for retail life insurance policies to lapse is lower than it is for fixed annuities because of the need for the insured to be re-underwritten upon policy replacement.

The annualized surrender and partial withdrawal rate on deferred fixed annuities and interest-sensitive life insurance products, based on the beginning of year contractholder funds, was 6.4% and 7.3% in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. We strive to promptly pay customers who request cash surrenders; however, statutory regulations generally provide up to six months in most states to fulfill surrender requests.

Our asset-liability management practices enable us to manage the differences between the cash flows generated by our investment portfolio and the expected cash flow requirements of our life insurance and annuity product obligations.

Recent Developments

The following updates the regulation disclosures included in Part I, Item 1. Regulation in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018.

On May 30, 2019, the Governor of Michigan signed Senate Bill 1, which was passed by the legislature to reform Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance system. Following passage, technical corrections were made in House Bill 4397, and both bills were enacted into law on June 11, 2019. The bills generally provide for the following changes:

•

Allowing insureds to choose levels of personal injury protection coverage ranging from a complete opt-out of personal injury protection coverage in certain circumstances where the insured already has coverage; or a coverage limit of $50,000, subject to certain qualifying conditions; coverage limits of $250,000 to $500,000; or continuing to choose unlimited lifetime coverage. For claims arising under the unlimited personal injury protection coverage, the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (“MCCA”), a state-mandated indemnification mechanism, will still exist and provide reimbursement above the retention threshold for covered losses, just as it currently does.

•

Implementing mandated rate reductions that correspond to the level of personal injury protection coverage chosen by insureds, which go into effect July 2, 2020. All rate filings between July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2028 are subject to prior approval by the Michigan Department of Financial Services. The coverage level chosen by insureds will determine the impact these rate rollbacks will have on premiums written.


•	Setting fee schedules for personal injury protection claims at 200% of Medicare rates in 2021, declining to 195% in 2022 and 190% in 2023, for any providers other than certain unique categories of providers and applying to treatment on existing and new claims beginning after July 1, 2021. The fee schedules will result in more consistent and capped levels of claim payments.

•

Implementing a process of utilization review for existing and new claims for medical treatment, creating a managed care option that provides for allowable expenses for reasonably necessary products, services and accommodations, setting limits on family provided attendant care, creating a fraud authority, and setting limits on the availability of attorney fees associated with personal injury protection coverage claims.

Allstate has advocated for personal injury protection reform for many years in Michigan. We are evaluating the impact of the changes associated with these bills. We anticipate a reduction in our claims and claims expense reserves related to Michigan unlimited personal injury protection and the corresponding MCCA indemnification recoverables.
