ALLSTATE BRAND STATISTICS (1)
Three months ended
Statistics presented for Allstate brand exclude excess and surplus lines.
New Issued Applications: Item counts of automobiles or homeowners 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: 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, which is 6 months for auto and 12 months for homeowners.
Average Premium - Net Earned: Earned premium divided by average policies in force for the period. Earned premium includes the impacts from mid-term premium adjustments and ceded reinsurance, but does not include
impacts of premium refund accruals. Average premiums represent the appropriate policy term for each line, which is 6 months for auto and 12 months for homeowners.
Renewal ratio: Renewal policies issued during the period, based on contract effective dates, divided by the total policies issued 6 months prior for auto or 12 months prior for homeowners.
Approximately 60% of states, including 4 of our 10 largest states, experienced increases in new issued applications in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Quote volume increased in the first quarter
of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, with approximately 70% of our states increasing, including 7 of our largest 10, above prior year.
Of our largest 10 states, 4 experienced increases in new issued applications in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Although in total quote volume decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2017
compared to the first quarter of 2016, over half of our states, including 4 of our largest 10, experienced increases in quote volume in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.
Approximately 80% of individual states experienced a year over year decrease in property damage paid claim frequency in first quarter 2017 when compared to first quarter 2016. These declines were observed mainly in
January and February, as the country broadly experienced milder than normal winter weather.
The paid claim frequency is calculated as annualized notice counts closed with payment in the period divided by the average of policies in force with the applicable coverage during the period. The gross claim frequency is
calculated as annualized notice counts received in the period divided by the average of policies in force 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). Frequency statistics exclude counts associated with catastrophe events. The percent change in paid or
gross claim frequency is calculated as the amount of increase or decrease in the paid or gross claim frequency in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year; divided by the prior year paid or gross claim
frequency.
Decreases in bodily injury paid claim frequency and the related increase in severity reflect payment mix and claim closure patterns that were impacted by changes in bodily injury claim processes in the second half of 2016
related to enhanced documentation of injuries and related medical treatments. Paid claim severity was impacted by a reduced number of claims opened and a change in the mix of paid claims toward a higher proportion of
larger severity payments and increases in medical inflationary trends that were offset by improvements in loss cost management.
With the increase in auto frequency experienced in recent quarters, claim handling processes were modified to more completely identify instances of liability at first notice of loss. Changes in property damage claim opening
practices can impact gross claim frequency comparisons to prior year. This resulted in an increase in the number of counted claims as well as an increase in claims closed without payment, as in many instances, we were
ultimately not required to provide indemnification.

BODILY INJURY % CHANGE IN GROSS AND PAID CLAIM FREQUENCY RATE
The paid claim frequency is calculated as annualized notice counts closed with payment in the period divided by the average of policies in force with the applicable coverage during the period. The gross claim frequency is calculated as
annualized notice counts received in the period divided by the average of policies in force 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). Frequency statistics exclude counts associated with catastrophe events. The percent change in paid or gross claim frequency is calculated as the amount
of increase or decrease in the paid or gross claim frequency in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year; divided by the prior year paid or gross claim frequency.
Decreases in bodily injury paid claim frequency and the related increase in severity as depicted on page 16 reflect payment mix and claim closure patterns that were impacted by changes in bodily injury claim processes in the second half of
2016 related to enhanced documentation of injuries and related medical treatments. Paid claim severity was impacted by a reduced number of claims opened and a change in the mix of paid claims toward a higher proportion of larger severity
payments and increases in medical inflationary trends that were offset by improvements in loss cost management.

(3) Esurance’s renewal ratios exclude the impact of risk related cancellations. Customers can enter into a policy without a physical inspection. During the underwriting review period, a number of policies
may be canceled if upon inspection the condition is unsatisfactory, causing the renewal ratio to appear lower.
Auto underwriting income includes an underwriting loss related to Esurance expansion into Canada of $2 million or 0.5 points on the combined ratio and underlying combined ratio in both the first
quarter of 2017 and 2016.
Advertising expenses for US Auto and Homeowners were $34 million and $2 million in first quarter 2017 compared to $42 million and $5 million in first quarter 2016, respectively. The effect of
Esurance brand US Auto and Homeowners advertising expenses on the Esurance combined ratio and underlying combined ratio was 8.1 points and 0.5 points in first quarter 2017 compared to 10.4
points and 1.2 points in first quarter 2016, respectively. Our advertising actions were impacted due to strategic reductions in marketing spending as a result of profitability actions.

HOMEOWNERS SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
($ in millions)
Represents the impact in the locations where rate changes were approved during the year as a percentage of total prior year-end premiums written in those locations.
This homeowners supplemental information schedule displays financial results for the homeowners business (defined to include standard homeowners, scheduled personal property and other than primary residence lines).
Each state in which the Company writes business has been categorized into one of two exposure groupings (Hurricane or Other). Hurricane exposure states are comprised of those states in which hurricanes are the primary
catastrophe exposure. However, the catastrophe losses for these states include losses due to other kinds of catastrophes. A catastrophe is defined by Allstate 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.
Premium rate changes (3)
Hurricane exposure states include the following coastal locations: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Annuities and institutional products:

Operating income return on attributed equity (%)
Structured settlement annuities for annuitants with severe injuries or other health impairments which significantly reduced their life expectancy at the time the annuity was issued and group annuity contracts issued to sponsors of terminated pension plans.
Of the total immediate annuities, $8,594 are reported in reserve for life-contingent contract benefits and $2,973 are reported in contractholder funds.
Product line operating income includes allocation of income on investments supporting capital. Operating income reflects a trailing twelve-month period.
Life-contingent structured settlement annuities for annuitants with standard life expectancy, period certain structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities with and without life contingencies.
Total Allstate Financial attributed equity is the sum of equity for Allstate Life Insurance Company and the applicable equity for Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation, excluding unrealized capital gains and losses.
Attributed equity is allocated to each product line based on statutory capital adjusted for GAAP reporting differences and the amount of capital held in Allstate Financial may vary from economic capital. The calculation of statutory capital by product incorporates internal factors
for invested asset risk, insurance risk (mortality and morbidity), interest rate risk and business risk. Due to the unavailability of final statutory financial statements at the time we release our GAAP financial results, the allocation is derived from prior quarter statutory capital.
Statutory capital is adjusted for appropriate GAAP accounting differences. Changes in internal capital factors, investment portfolio mix and risk as well as changes in GAAP and statutory reporting differences will result in changes to the allocation of attributed equity to
products.

(4) 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.
The comparison of percentages from period to period may be distorted by investment transactions such as sales, purchases and impairment write-downs.
Unrealized net capital gains and losses for limited partnership interests represent the Company's share of EMA limited partnerships' other comprehensive income. Fair value and amortized cost are not applicable.
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 current lower interest rates, resulting
in a premium deficiency. Although we evaluate premium deficiencies on the combined performance of our life insurance and immediate annuities with life contingencies, the adjustment primarily relates to structured settlement annuities
with life contingencies, in addition to annuity buy-outs and certain payout annuities with life contingencies.

Comprise limited partnership interests and other alternative investments, including real estate, timber and agriculture-related investments classified as other investments.
Quarterly pre-tax yield is calculated as annualized quarterly investment income, before investment expense divided by the average of the current and prior quarter investment
balances. Year-to-date pre-tax yield is calculated as annualized year-to-date investment income, before investment expense divided by the average of investment balances at
the beginning of the year and the end of each quarter during the year. For the purposes of the pre-tax yield calculation, income for directly held real estate, timber and other
consolidated investments is net of investee level expenses (depreciation and asset level operating expenses reported in investment expense). For investments carried at fair
value, investment balances exclude unrealized capital gains and losses.
Total return on investment portfolio is calculated from GAAP results including the total of net investment income, realized capital gains and losses, the change in unrealized net
capital gains and losses, and the change in the difference between fair value and carrying value of mortgage loans, cost method limited partnerships, bank loans and agent
loans divided by the average fair value balances.
Average investment balances for the quarter are calculated as the average of the current and prior quarter investment balances. Year-to-date average investment balances are
calculated as the average of investment balances at the beginning of the year and the end of each quarter during the year. For purposes of the average investment balances
calculation, unrealized capital gains and losses are excluded.

(4) The internal rate of return ("IRR") for our performance-based investments is one of the measures we use to evaluate the strategy's performance. The IRR represents the rate of
return on the investments considering the cash flows and the estimated value of investment holdings. Until an investment is fully liquidated, through final distribution or disposal, the
IRR is an interim estimated return. Our IRR calculation method may differ from those used by other investors. Our perfomance-based portfolio is diversified by asset type and
vintage year. The IRR calculation includes cash flows paid or received related to PB investments during the measurement period, and valuation of investment holdings at the
beginning and end of the measurement period. The timing and amount of cash flows and changes in estimated values could have a significant impact on the IRR. The timing of the
recognition of income in the financial statements may differ significantly from the cash distributions and changes in the value of these investments.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that investors’ understanding of Allstate’s performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the following non-GAAP measures. Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Net income applicable to common shareholders is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to operating income. We use operating income as an important measure to evaluate our results of operations. We believe that the measure provides investors with a valuable measure
of the Company's ongoing performance because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services business that may be obscured by the net effect of realized capital gains and losses, valuation changes on embedded derivatives that are not hedged, business combination expenses
and the amortization of purchased intangible assets, gain (loss) on disposition of operations and adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items. Realized capital gains and losses, valuation changes on embedded derivatives that are not hedged and gain (loss)
on disposition of operations may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Consistent with our intent to
protect results or earn additional income, operating income includes periodic settlements and accruals on certain derivative instruments that are reported in realized capital gains and losses because they do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges for accounting
purposes. These instruments are used for economic hedges and to replicate fixed income securities, and by including them in operating income, we are appropriately reflecting their trends in our performance and in a manner consistent with the economically hedged investments, product
attributes (e.g. net investment income and interest credited to contractholder funds) or replicated investments. Business combination expenses are excluded because they are non-recurring in nature and the amortization of purchased intangible assets is excluded because it relates to the
acquisition purchase price and is not indicative of our underlying insurance business results or trends. Non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of our business or economic trends. Accordingly, operating income excludes the effect of items that tend
to be highly variable from period to period and highlights the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. A byproduct of excluding these items to determine operating income is the transparency and understanding of their significance to net income
variability and profitability while recognizing these or similar items may recur in subsequent periods. Operating income is used by management along with the other components of net income applicable to common shareholders to assess our performance. We use adjusted measures of
operating income in incentive compensation. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to evaluate net income applicable to common shareholders, operating income and their components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing and evaluating our performance. We note that
investors, financial analysts, financial and business media organizations and rating agencies utilize operating income results in their evaluation of our and our industry's financial performance and in their investment decisions, recommendations and communications as it represents a
reliable, representative and consistent measurement of the industry and the Company and management's performance. We note that the price to earnings multiple commonly used by insurance investors as a forward-looking valuation technique uses operating income as the denominator.
Operating income should not be considered a substitute for net income applicable to common shareholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. A reconciliation of operating income to net income applicable to common shareholders is provided in the schedule,
"Contribution to Income".
Average underlying loss (incurred pure premium) and expense is calculated as the underlying combined ratio (a non-GAAP measure) multiplied by the GAAP quarterly earned premium, which is annualized (multiplied by 4) (“average premium”). We believe that this measure is useful to
investors and it is used by management for the same reasons noted above for the underlying combined ratio. A reconciliation of average underlying loss and expense is provided in the schedule, "Allstate Brand Auto and Homeowners Underlying Loss and Expense".
Underlying loss ratio is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between three GAAP operating ratios: the loss ratio, the effect of catastrophes on the combined ratio and the effect of prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates on the combined ratio. We believe that
this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by management to reveal the trends that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year reserve reestimates. Catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and
magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year reserve reestimates are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our
underwriting performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the loss ratio. The underlying loss ratio should not be considered a substitute for the loss ratio and does not reflect the overall loss ratio of our business. A reconciliation of underlying loss ratio is provided in the
schedules "Property Liability Results", "Allstate Brand Profitability Measures", "Esurance Brand Profitability Measures and Statistics" and "Encompass Brand Profitability Measures and Statistics".
Combined ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes, prior year reserve reestimates and the amortization of purchased intangible assets ("underlying combined ratio") is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between four GAAP operating ratios: the combined
ratio, the effect of catastrophes on the combined ratio, the effect of prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates on the combined ratio, the effect of amortization of purchased intangible assets on the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors and it is used by
management to reveal the trends in our Property-Liability business that may be obscured by catastrophe losses, prior year reserve reestimates, amortization of purchased intangible assets. Catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their
incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year reserve reestimates are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Amortization of purchased intangible assets relates to the acquisition purchase price and is
not indicative of our underlying insurance business results or trends. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our underwriting performance. We also provide it to facilitate a comparison to our outlook on the
underlying combined ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of our business. A reconciliation of the
underlying combined ratio to combined ratio is provided in the schedules "Property Liability Results", "Allstate Brand Profitability Measures", "Esurance Brand Profitability Measures and Statistics", "Encompass Brand Profitability Measures and Statistics", "SquareTrade Profitability Measures"
and "Auto, Homeowners and Other Personal Lines Underlying Combined Ratios".
Operating income return on common shareholders' equity is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing the rolling 12-month operating income by the average of common shareholders’ equity at the beginning and at the end of the 12-months, after excluding the
effect of unrealized net capital gains and losses. Return on common shareholders' equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use operating income as the numerator for the same reasons we use operating income, as discussed above. We use average common
shareholders' equity excluding the effect of unrealized net capital gains and losses for the denominator as a representation of common shareholders’ equity primarily attributable to the Company’s earned and realized business operations because it eliminates the effect of items that are
unrealized and vary significantly between periods due to external economic developments such as capital market conditions like changes in equity prices and interest rates, the amount and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. We use it to supplement our
evaluation of net income applicable to common shareholders and return on common shareholders' equity because it excludes the effect of items that tend to be highly variable from period to period. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and that it provides a valuable tool for
investors when considered along with return on common shareholders' equity because it eliminates the after-tax effects of realized and unrealized net capital gains and losses that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and that are driven by economic developments, the magnitude
and timing of which are generally not influenced by management. In addition, it eliminates non-recurring items that are not indicative of our ongoing business or economic trends. A byproduct of excluding the items noted above to determine operating income return on common
shareholders' equity from return on common shareholders' equity is the transparency and understanding of their significance to return on common shareholders' equity variability and profitability while recognizing these or similar items may recur in subsequent periods. We use adjusted
measures of operating income return on common shareholders' equity in incentive compensation. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to have operating income return on common shareholders' equity and return on common shareholders' equity when evaluating our performance.
We note that investors, financial analysts, financial and business media organizations and rating agencies utilize operating income return on common shareholders' equity results in their evaluation of our and our industry’s financial performance and in their investment decisions,
recommendations and communications as it represents a reliable, representative and consistent measurement of the industry and the company and management’s utilization of capital. Operating income return on common shareholders' equity should not be considered a substitute for
return on common shareholders' equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. A reconciliation of return on common shareholders' equity and operating income return on common shareholders' equity can be found in the schedule, "Return on Common Shareholders'
Equity".
Book value per common share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities, is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing common shareholders’ equity after excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains
and losses on fixed income securities and related DAC, DSI and life insurance reserves by total common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. We use the trend in book value per common share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and
losses on fixed income securities, in conjunction with book value per common share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. We believe the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can
fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management, and we believe it enhances understanding and comparability of performance
by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. We note that book value per common share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities, is a measure commonly used by insurance investors as a valuation technique. Book
value per common share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Book value per common share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities, should not be considered a substitute for book value per common share, and does not
reflect the recorded net worth of our business. A reconciliation of book value per common share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains on fixed income securities, and book value per common share can be found in the schedule, "Book Value per Common Share".
Operating 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 operating income,
- valuation changes on embedded derivatives that are not hedged, after-tax,
- amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and deferred sales inducements (“DSI”), to the extent they resulted from the recognition of certain realized capital gains and losses or valuation changes on embedded derivatives that are not hedged, after-tax,
