Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.
Note 1General
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-liabilityproperty and casualty insurance company with various property-liability and life and investment subsidiaries, including Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Allstate”). and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is considered a primary beneficiary. 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 September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and for the three-month and nine-monththree month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 20162022 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 Reportannual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2022. 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 reflect the application of the new guidance to all in-scope long-duration insurance contracts, certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes for 2022 have been recast.
Macroeconomic impacts
The Novel Coronavirus Pandemic or COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”) and subsequent U.S. government fiscal and monetary policies have and may continue to effect economic activity through longer-term impacts such as supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and other macroeconomic factors that have increased inflation and affected our operations. These factors may continue to significantly affect results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The impact from the pandemic and the ongoing effects should be considered when comparing the current period to prior periods.

Adopted accounting standardsstandard
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
for Long-Duration Insurance ContractsEffective January 1, 2017,2023, the Company adopted newthe Financial Accounting Standards Board (“(”FASB”) guidance that amends the accounting for share-based payments on a prospective basis. Under the new guidance, reporting entities are required to recognize all tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement or expiration through the income statement and the requirement to delay recognition of certain tax benefits until they reduce current taxes payable is eliminated. The new guidance also permits employers to withhold shares issued in connection with an employee’s exercise of options or the settlement of stock awards, up to the employee’s maximum individual statutory tax rate, to meet tax withholding requirements without causing liability classification of the award. In addition, all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments are reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows whereas cash payments made to taxing authorities on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares are presented as financing activities. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position on the date of adoption.
Transition to Equity Method Accounting
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted new FASB guidance amending the accounting requirements for transitioning to the equity method of accounting (“EMA”), including a transition from the cost method. The guidance requires the cost of acquiring an additional interest in an investee to be added to the existing carrying value to establish the initial basis of the EMA investment. Under the new guidance, no retroactive adjustment is required when an investment initially qualifies for EMA treatment. The guidance is applied prospectively to investments that qualify for EMA after application of the cost method of accounting. Accordingly, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Pending accounting standards
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance which revises the criteria for revenue recognition. Insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of the new guidance. Under the guidance, the transaction price is attributed to underlying performance obligations in the contract and revenue is recognized as the entity satisfies the performance obligations and transfers control of a good or service to the customer. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract may be capitalized to the extent the entity expects to recover those costs. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company’s principal activities impacted by the standard are those related to the issuance of protection plans for consumer products and automobiles and service contracts that provide roadside assistance. The impacts include an increase in deferred revenue with a corresponding increase in deferred costs for protection plans that are sold directly to retailers for which Allstate is deemed to be the principal in the transaction. The anticipated impacts of this adjustment offset and will not impact net income, but result in an increase in unearned premiums and deferred policy acquisition costs of approximately $145 million to $175 million, pre-tax. The Company also anticipates impacts related to recognizing revenue for SquareTrade based on expected losses, accounting for variable consideration and the deferral of certain costs associated with acquiring service contracts that provide roadside

assistance, the net impact of which is not expected to materially reduce shareholders’ equity at the date of adoption. Based on the Company’s assessment, the total impact of adoption will not be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring equity investments, including equity securities and limited partnership interests, that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting or result in consolidation to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values may be measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. When a qualitative assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values indicates that impairment exists, the carrying value is required to be adjusted to fair value, if lower. The guidance clarifies that an entity should evaluate the realizability of a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale fixed income securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained income which results in no impact to the Company’s results of operations at the date of adoption. The new guidance related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values is applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. The most significant anticipated impacts, using values as of September 30, 2017, relate to the change in accounting for equity securities, where $966 million of pre-tax unrealized net capital gains would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained income, and cost method limited partnership interests (excluding limited partnership interests accounted for on a cost recovery basis), where the carrying value of these investments would increase by approximately $200 million, pre-tax, with the offsetting after-tax adjustment recognized in retained income. The after-tax change in accounting for equity securities will not affect the Company’s shareholders’ equity and the unrealized net capital gains reclassified to retained income will never be recognized in net income. The after-tax change in accounting for cost method limited partnerships, if adopted at the end of this reporting period, would increase the Company’s shareholders’ equity, while also decreasing net income return on shareholders’ equity. The amount by which the fair value of cost method limited partnerships exceeds their carrying value will never be recognized in net income.
Accounting for Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance revising the accounting for leases. certain long-duration insurance contracts using the modified retrospective approach to the transition date of January 1, 2021.
Under the new guidance, lesseesmeasurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy lapses, are required to be reviewed at least annually, and updated as appropriate. In addition, reserves under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield that is updated through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) at each reporting date. Additionally, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) for all long-duration products will be requiredamortized on a simplified basis. Also, the Company’s reserve for future policy benefits and DAC will be subject to recognizenew disclosure guidance.
In addition, the Company met the conditions included in Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-05, Transition for Sold Contracts, and elected to not apply the new guidance for contracts that were part of the 2021 sales of Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (“ALNY”).
After-tax cumulative effect of change in accounting principle on transition date
($ in millions)January 1, 2021
Decrease in retained income$21 
Decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”)277 
Total decrease in equity$298
The decrease in AOCI is primarily attributable to a right-of-use assetchange in the discount rate used in measuring the reserve for future policy benefits for traditional life contracts and lease liability for all leases other than those that meetlong-term products with guaranteed terms from a portfolio-based rate at contract issuance to an upper-medium grade fixed income-based rate at the definitionreporting date. The decrease in retained income primarily relates to certain cohorts of long-term contracts whose expected net premiums exceeded expected gross premiums which resulted in an increase in reserves and a short-term lease. The lease liability will bedecrease in retained income equal to the present value of lease payments. A right-of-use asset will beexpected future benefits less the present value of expected future premiums at the transition date.

Reserve for future policy benefits
Long-duration voluntary accident and health insurance and traditional life insurance contracts The reserve for future policy benefits (“RFPB”) is calculated using the net premium reserving model, which uses the present value of insurance contract benefits less the present value of net premiums. Under the net premium reserving model, the Company computes a net premium ratio which is the present value of insurance contract benefits divided by the present value of gross premiums. The present value of contract benefits and gross premiums are determined using the discount rate at contract inception. The net premium ratio is applied to premiums due on a periodic basis to compute the RFPB. The net premium ratio is recomputed at least annually using both actual historical cash flows and future cash flows anticipated over the life of cohort of contracts subject to measurement. Assumptions including mortality, morbidity, and lapses affect the timing and amount of estimated cash flows used to calculate the RFPB.
The Company has grouped contracts into cohorts based on product type and issue year. Examples of insurance product types include whole life, term life, critical illness and disability. Issue year is based on the leaseissuance date of the contract to the policyholder,
except in the case of contracts acquired in a business combination, where the issue date is based on the acquisition date of the business combination. The RFPB is calculated for contracts in force at the end of each period, which results in the Company recognizing the effects of actual experience in the period it occurs.
Annually, in the third quarter, the Company obtains historical premiums and benefits information and evaluates future cash flow assumptions that include mortality, morbidity, and terminations, and updates cash flow assumptions as necessary. The Company has elected to not update the expense assumption when annually reviewing and updating future cash flow assumptions. Actual premiums and benefits and any updates to future cash flow assumptions are incorporated into the calculation of an updated net premium ratio. Updates for actual premiums and benefits and changes to future cash flow assumptions will result in a liability adjusted for qualifying initial direct costs. The expense of operating leases under the new guidance will beremeasurement gain or loss that is recognized in net income. The first step to determining the liability remeasurement gain or loss is to calculate the RFPB using revised net premiums discounted at the locked-in discount rate set at contract issuance. The result of the first step is then compared to the carrying amount of the RFPB before the updates for actual experience and changes to future cash flow assumptions. The decrease (gain) or increase (loss) in the RFPB is reported as liability

The updated net premium ratio is used in future quarters to measure the RFPB until the next annual update or an earlier date if the Company determines it is necessary to revise future cash flow assumptions based on available evidence, including actual experience.
The discount rate assumption is determined using a yield curve approach. The yield curve consists of U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured fixed-income securities issued by U.S. companies that have an A credit rating based on the ratings provided by nationally recognized rating agencies that include Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and amortizationFitch. For points on the yield curve that do not have observable yields, the Company uses linear interpolation which calculates the unobservable yield based on the two nearest observable yields, except for any points beyond the last observable yield at 30 years, where interest rates are held constant with the last observable point on the yield curve. The Company updates the current discount rate quarterly and the change in the RFPB resulting from the updated current discount rate is recognized in OCI.
Deferred policy acquisition costs
Deferred policy acquisition costs are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and are deferred and recognized as an expense over the life of the right-of-use asset) overrelated contracts. These costs are principally agent and broker remuneration, premium taxes and certain underwriting expenses. All other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and included in operating costs and expenses.


Long-duration voluntary accident and health insurance, traditional life insurance contracts, and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts Voluntary accident and health insurance and traditional life insurance contracts are grouped by product and issue year into cohorts consistent with the term ofcohorts used to calculate the lease. For finance leases, the expense componentsRFPB. Interest-sensitive life insurance contracts are computed separately and produce greater up-front expense compared to operating leases as interest expense on the lease liability is higher in early yearsgrouped into cohorts by issue year, and the right-of-use assetissue year is determined based on contract issue date. DAC is amortized on a straight-line basis. Lease classificationconstant level basis over the expected contract term and is included in Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The constant level basis used for all cohorts is based on policies-in-force. The expected contract term and mortality, morbidity, and termination assumptions are used to calculate both DAC amortization and the RFPB. If actual contract terminations are greater than expected terminations for any cohort, each affected cohort’s DAC balance will be reduced in the current period based on criteria similarthe difference between the actual and expected terminations. No adjustments to those currently applied. DAC amortization are recorded if actual contract terminations are less than expected terminations for any cohort. If the Company makes an update to any of its mortality, morbidity, or termination assumptions, the Company will use the assumptions prospectively to amortize any cohort’s remaining DAC over the remaining expected contract term.

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, including reinsurance recoverables. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss recognition model with an expected loss recognition model. The objectivelives of the expected credit loss model is forcontracts acquired. The Company amortizes the reporting entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets in a valuation allowance deducted from the amortized cost basis of the related financial assets that results in presenting the net carryingpresent value of future profits using the financial assets at the amount expected to be collected. The reporting entity must consider all available relevant information when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions,same methodology 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 and not as a direct write-down. The guidance is effective for interim and annual 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 is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption.
Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment which removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test that requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the new guidance, goodwill

The revised guidance does not affect a reporting entity’s ability to first assess qualitative factors by reporting unit to determine whether to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, with the effects, if any, recognized in net income in the period of adoption. The impact to the Company upon adoption is dependent upon the excess, if any, of carryingpresent value of the Company’s reporting units, including goodwill, over their respective fair values, a measure thatfuture profits is not currently determinable.subject to premium deficiency testing.
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefits Costs
10www.allstate.com
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance

Notes to improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits costs that requires the service cost component to be reported in operating expenses together with other employee compensation costs and all other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits costs reported in non-operating expenses. If the reporting entity does not separately report operating and non-operating expenses on the statement of operations it is required to identify, on the statement of operations or in disclosures, the line items in which the components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits costs are presented. The new guidance permits only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization where applicable. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for capitalization of service costs where applicable and on a retrospective basis for the presentation of the service cost and other components of net periodic pension benefit costs in the statements of operations or in disclosures. The impact of adoption is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Accounting for Hedging Activities
In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments intended to better align hedge accounting with an organization’s risk management activities. The amendments expand hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and revise the measurement methodologies to better align with an organization’s risk management activities. Separate presentation of hedge ineffectiveness is eliminated to provide greater transparency of 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 reduce complexity by simplifying the manner in which assessments of hedge effectiveness may be performed. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those annual periods. The presentation and disclosure guidance is effective on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Note 2Earnings per Common Share
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 measure of segment profit or loss used in evaluating performance is underwriting income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017Allstate Protection and 2016, respectively, but were notRun-off Property-Liability segments and adjusted net income for the Protection Services, Allstate Health and Benefits and Corporate and Other segments.
Underwriting income is calculated as premiums earned and other revenue, less claims and claims expenses (“losses”), amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges as determined using GAAP.

Adjusted net income is net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, excluding:
Net gains and losses on investments and derivatives
Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses
Amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles
Gain or loss on disposition
Adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items, when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, or (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years
Income tax expense or benefit on reconciling items
A reconciliation of these measures to net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders is provided below.

3.    Acquisition
On January 3, 2017, the Company acquired SquareTrade Holding Company, Inc. (“SquareTrade”), a consumer product protection plan provider that distributes through many of America’s major retailers and Europe’s mobile operators, for $1.4 billion in cash. SquareTrade provides protection plans primarily covering consumer appliances and electronics, such as TVs, smartphones and computers. This acquisition broadens Allstate’s unique product offerings to better meet consumers’ needs.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $1.08 billion, commissions paid to retailers (reported in deferred policy acquisition costs) of $70 million, other intangible assets (reported in other assets) of $555 million, contractual liability insurance policy premium expenses (reported in other assets) of $201 million, unearned premiums of $373 million and net deferred income tax liability of $140 million. The Company increased goodwill by $14 million through third quarter 2017 related to an adjustment to the fair value of the opening balance sheet liabilities.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company has $30 million of restricted cash related to an escrow account in connection with the acquisition that is recorded in other assets.

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, 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 other-than-temporary impairment 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 accumulated other comprehensive income. 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.

Portfolio monitoring
Fixed income securitiesThe Company has a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income and equity security whose carrying valuethat may be other-than-temporarily impairedrequire a credit loss allowance.
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, any existing credit loss allowance would be written-off against the security’s decline in fair value is considered other than temporary and isamortized cost basis of the asset along with any remaining unrealized losses, with incremental losses 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 discountingbased on the best estimate of future cash flows considering past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The estimated future cash flows are discounted at the security’s original or current effective rate as appropriate, and compares thisis compared to the amortized cost of the security.
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 is 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, the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer, expected defaults, expected recoveries, the value of underlying collateral, origination vintage year, 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, 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 Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, thea credit loss component of the impairmentallowance is recorded in earnings withfor the remaining amountshortfall in expected cash flows; however, the amortized cost, net of the credit loss allowance, may not be lower than the fair value of the security. The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other factors recognizedthan credit remains classified in other comprehensive income.
For equity securities,AOCI. If the Company considers various factors, including whether it hasdetermines that the intent and abilityfixed income security does not have sufficient cash flow or other information to holdestimate a recovery value for the equity security, for a period of time sufficient to recover its cost basis. Where the Company lacksmay conclude that the intent and ability to hold to recovery, or believes the recovery period is extended, the equity security’sentire decline in fair value is considered other than temporarydeemed to be credit related and the loss is recorded in earnings.
ForWhen a security is sold or otherwise disposed or when the security is deemed uncollectible and written off, the Company removes amounts previously recognized in the credit loss allowance. Recoveries after write-offs are recognized when received. Accrued interest excluded from the amortized cost of fixed income securities totaled $400 million and equity securities managed by third parties, either$389 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is reported within the Company has contractually retained its decision making authority as it pertains to selling securities that are in an unrealized loss position or it recognizes any unrealized loss at the endaccrued investment income line of the period through a chargeCondensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company monitors accrued interest and writes off amounts when they are not expected to earnings.be received.
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 (for fixed income securities) or cost (for equity securities) is below internally established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of other impairmentcredit loss 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 other-than-temporary impairmentcredit losses using all reasonably available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security. Inherent in the Company’s evaluation of other-than-temporary impairmentcredit losses for these fixed income and equity 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

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 or cost.

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. Unrealized losses on equity securities are primarily related to temporary equity market fluctuations of securities that are expected to recover.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, 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. As
Loans The Company establishes a credit loss allowance for mortgage loans and bank loans when they are originated or purchased, and for unfunded commitments unless they are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Company uses a probability of September 30, 2017,default and loss given default model for mortgage loans and bank loans to estimate current expected credit losses that considers all relevant
information available including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts over the life of an asset. The Company also considers such factors as historical losses, expected prepayments and various economic factors. For mortgage loans the Company hadconsiders origination vintage year and property level information such as debt service coverage, property type, property location and collateral value. For bank loans, the intentCompany considers the credit rating of the borrower, credit spreads and abilitytype of loan. After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company’s model reverts to hold equity securities with unrealized losses forhistorical loss trends.
Loans are evaluated on a period of time sufficient for them to recover.
Limited partnerships
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of equity method limited partnerships totaled $5.26 billion and $4.53 billion, respectively.pooled basis when they share similar risk characteristics. The Company recognizes an impairment loss for equity method limited partnerships when evidence demonstrates that the loss is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value that is other than temporary may include the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain a level of earnings that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value for cost method limited partnerships was $1.34 billion and $1.28 billion, respectively. To determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the Company evaluates whether an impairment indicator has occurred in the period that may have a significant adverse effect on the carrying value of the investment. Impairment indicators may include: significantly reduced valuations of the investments held by the limited partnerships; actual recent cash flows received being significantly less than expected cash flows; reduced valuations based on financing completed at a lower value; completed sale of a material underlying investment at a price significantly lower than expected; or any other adverse events since the last financial statements received that might affect the fair value of the investee’s capital. Additionally, the Company’s portfolio monitoring process includes a quarterly review of all cost method limited partnerships to identify instances where the net asset value is below established thresholds for certain periods of time, as well as investments that are performing below expectations, for further impairment consideration. If a cost method limited partnership is other-than-temporarily impaired, the carrying value is written down to fair value, generally estimated to be equivalent to the reported net asset value.
Mortgagemonitors loans
Mortgage loans are evaluated for impairment on a specific loan basis through a quarterly credit monitoring process to determine when they no longer share similar risk characteristics and review of keyare to be evaluated individually when estimating credit quality indicators. Mortgage loanslosses.
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.

Mortgage loans When it is determined a mortgage loan shall be evaluated individually, the Company uses various methods to estimate credit losses on individual loans such as using collateral value less estimated costs to sell where applicable, including when foreclosure is probable or when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. When collateral value is used, the mortgage loans may not have a credit loss allowance when the fair value of the collateral exceeds the loan’s amortized cost. An alternative approach may be utilized to estimate credit losses using the present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows discounted at the loan’s current effective interest rate. Individual loan credit loss allowances are adjusted
for subsequent changes in the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, when applicable, or present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows.
Debt service coverage ratio is considered a key credit quality indicator when mortgage loansloan credit loss allowances are evaluated for impairment.estimated. Debt service coverage ratio represents the amount of estimated cash flowsflow 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.

Bank loans When it is determined a bank loan shall be evaluated individually, the Company uses various methods to estimate credit losses on individual loans such as the present value of the loan’s expected future repayment cash flows discounted at the loan’s current effective interest rate.

Credit ratings of the borrower are considered a key credit quality indicator when bank loan credit loss allowances are estimated. The ratings are either received from the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC based on availability of applicable ratings from rating agencies on the NAIC credit rating provider list or a comparable internal rating. The year of origination is determined to be the year in which the asset is acquired.

Note 5Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
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.
(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.

20 allstatelogohands03.jpgwww.allstate.com


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
First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 21

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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 partythird-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 specifichierarchy:
(1)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(2)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, cost method limited partnership interests, bank loans, agent loans and policy loans. Accordingly, such investmentsloans and are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the individual investment is subject to remeasurementreported at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting remeasurement is reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.value.
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 inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Level 12 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 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.

Derivatives embedded in life and annuity contracts – Equity-indexed and forward starting options$(247) Stochastic cash flow model Projected option cost 1.0 - 2.2% 1.75%
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 September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, Level 3 fair value measurements of fixed income securities total $572$122 million and $558$173 million, respectively, and include $304$30 million and $307$70 million, respectively, of securities valued based on non-binding broker quotes where the inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable and $62$16 million and $80$21 million, respectively, of municipal fixed income securities that are not rated by third partythird-party credit rating agencies. TheAs the Company does not develop the Level 3 fair value
unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value; therefore,for these fixed income securities, they are not included in the table above. However, an

24 allstatelogohands03.jpgwww.allstate.com


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 partythird-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. For example, in situations where a fair value quote is not provided by the Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider and as a result the price is stale or has been replaced with a broker quote whose inputs have not been corroborated to be market observable, the security is transferred into Level 3. Transfers in and out of level categorizations are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the quarter in which the

28 allstatelogohands03.jpgwww.allstate.com


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.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.
Transfers into Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 included situations where a fair value 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.March 31, 2023. Transfers out of Level 3 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016March 31, 2022 included situations where a broker quote was used in the prior period and a fair value 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.

The fair value of mortgage loans is based on discounted contractual cash flows or, if the loans are impaired due to credit reasons, the fair value of collateral less costs to sell. Risk adjusted discount rates are selected using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar characteristics, using similar types of properties as collateral. The fair value of cost method limited partnerships is determined using reported net asset values. The fair value of bank loans, which are reported in other investments, is based on broker quotes from brokers familiar with the loans and current market conditions. The fair value of agent loans, which are reported in other investments, is based on discounted cash flow calculations. Risk adjusted discount rates are selected using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar characteristics. The fair value measurements for mortgage loans, cost method limited partnerships, bank loans and agent loans are categorized as Level 3.

The fair value of contractholder funds on investment contracts is based on the termsCondensed Consolidated Statements of the underlying contracts incorporating current market-based crediting rates for similar contracts that reflect the Company’s own credit risk. Deferred annuities classified in contractholder funds are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate current market based margins and reflect the Company’s own credit risk. Immediate annuities without life contingencies are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate current market-based implied interest rates and reflect the Company’s own credit risk. The fair value measurement for contractholder funds on investment contracts is categorized as Level 3.Financial Position.
The fair value of long-term debt is based on market observable data (such as the fair value of the debt when traded as an asset) or is determined using discounted cash flow calculations based on current interest rates for instruments with comparable terms and considers the Company’s own credit risk. The liability for collateral is valued at carrying value due to its short-term nature. The fair value measurements for long-term debt and liability for collateral are categorized as Level 2.
Note 6Derivative Financial Instruments
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, options, futures, 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.

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.
Allstate Financial utilizes several derivative strategies to manage risk. Asset-liability management is a risk management strategy that is principally employed by Allstate Financial to balanceIn 2022, 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. Credit default swaps are typically used to mitigate the credit risk within the Allstate Financial fixed income portfolio. Futures and options are used for hedging the equity exposure contained in Allstate Financial’s equity indexed life and annuity product contracts that offer equity returns to contractholders. In addition, Allstate Financial uses equity index futures and options to offset valuation losses in the equity portfolio during periods of declining equity market values. Foreign currency swaps and forwards are primarily used by Allstate Financial to reduce the foreign currency risk associated with holding foreign currency denominated investments.

The Company also hashad derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that arewere 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 equity returns 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. Allstate Financial 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. Allstate Financial designates certain of its foreign currency swap contracts as cash flow hedges when the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting the exposure of variations in cash flows for the hedged risk that could affect net income. Amounts are reclassified to net investment income or realized capital gains and losses as the hedged item affects net income.
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 certain exchange traded and cleared derivatives, margin deposits are required as well as daily cash settlements of margin accounts. As of September 30, 2017, the Company pledged $35 million in the form of margin deposits.
For those derivatives which qualify forand have been designated as fair value hedge accounting hedges, net income includes the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged risk, and therefore reflects any hedging ineffectiveness.risk. For cash flow hedges, gains and losses are amortized from accumulated other comprehensive incomeAOCI and are reported in net income in the same period the forecasted transactions being hedged impact net income.
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 accounting hedge or non-hedge derivative financial instruments on at least a quarterly basis.

In connection with the sale of ALIC and certain affiliates in 2021, the sale agreement included a provision related to contingent consideration that may be earned over a ten-year period with the first potential payment date commencing on January 1, 2026 and a final potential payment date of January 1, 2035. The contingent consideration is determined annually based on the average 10-year Treasury rate over the preceding 3-year period compared to a designated rate. The contingent consideration meets the definition of a derivative and is accounted for on a fair value basis with periodic changes in fair value reflected in earnings. There are no collateral requirements related to the contingent consideration.

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 September 30, 2017, counterparties pledged $3 million in cash to the Company, and the Company pledged $18 million in cash and securities to counterparties which includes $7

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.

Only OTC derivatives with a net positive fair value are included for each counterparty.— 
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 instrumentstransactions contain credit-risk-contingent termination events and cross-default provisions and credit support annex agreements.provisions. 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 derivatives - selling protection
A credit default swap (“CDS”) is a derivative instrument, representing an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities), or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities (all commonly referred to as the “reference entity” or a portfolio of “reference entities”), in return for a periodic premium. In selling protection, CDS are used to replicate fixed income securities and to complement the cash market when credit exposure to certain issuers is not available or when the derivative alternative is less expensive than the cash market alternative. CDS typically have a five-year term.

In selling protection with CDS,which the Company sells credit protection on an identified single name,is the primary beneficiary, primarily include Adirondack Insurance Exchange, a basket of names inNew York reciprocal insurer, and New Jersey Skylands Insurance Association, a first-to-default (“FTD”New Jersey reciprocal insurer (together “Reciprocal Exchanges”) structure or credit derivative index (“CDX”) that is generally investment grade, and in return receives periodic premiums through expiration or termination. The Reciprocal Exchanges are insurance carriers organized as unincorporated associations. The Company does not own the equity of the agreement. With single name CDS, this premium or credit spread generally corresponds to the difference between the yield on the reference entity’s public fixed maturity cash instruments and swap rates at the time the agreementReciprocal Exchanges, which is executed. With a FTD basket, because of the additional credit risk inherent in a basket of named reference entities, the premium generally corresponds to a high proportion of the sum of the credit spreads of the names in the basket and the correlation between the names. CDX is utilized to take a position on multiple (generally 125) reference entities. Credit events are typically defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring, depending on the nature of the reference entities. If a credit event occurs, the Company settles with the counterparty, either through physical settlement or cash settlement. In a physical settlement, a reference asset is deliveredowned by the buyer of protection to the Company, in exchange for cash payment at par, whereas in a cash settlement, the Company pays the difference between par and the prescribed value of the reference asset. When a credit event occurs in a single name or FTD basket (for FTD, the first credit event occurring for any one name in the basket), the contract terminates at the time of settlement. For CDX, the reference entity’s name incurring the credit event is removed from the index while the contract continues until expiration. The maximum payout on a CDS is the contract notional amount. A physical settlement may afford the Company with recovery rights as the new owner of the asset.their respective policyholders.

Note 8Reserve 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
When the normal courseCompany experiences changes in the mix or type of claims or changing claim settlement patterns or data, it applies actuarial judgment in the determination and selection of development factors to develop reserve liabilities. Supply chain disruptions and inflation have resulted in higher part costs, used car values and longer time to claim resolution, which have combined with labor shortages to increase physical damage loss costs. Medical inflation, treatment trends, attorney representation, litigation costs and more severe accidents have contributed to higher third-party bodily injury loss costs. The Company has also digitized and modified claim processes to increase effectiveness and efficiency. These factors may lead to historical development trends being less predictive of future loss development, potentially creating additional reserve variability.
Generally, the initial reserves for a new accident year are established based on claim frequency and severity assumptions for different business segments, lines and coverages based on historical relationships to relevant inflation indicators. Reserves for prior accident years are statistically determined using several different actuarial estimation methods. Changes in auto claim frequency may result from changes in mix of business, driving behaviors, miles driven or other factors. Changes in auto current year claim severity are generally influenced by inflation in the medical and auto repair sectors, the effectiveness and efficiency of claim practices and changes in mix of claim types. The Company mitigates these effects through various loss management programs. When such changes in claim data occur, actuarial judgment is used to determine appropriate development factors to establish reserves. The Company’s reserving process incorporates changes in loss patterns, operational statistics and changes in claims reporting processes to determine its best estimate of recorded reserves.
As part of the reserving process, the Company may also supplement its claims processes by utilizing third partythird-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”)IBNR losses, the establishment of appropriate reserves, including reserves for catastrophes, and reservesRun-off Property-Liability and reinsurance recoverables for the Discontinued Lines and Coverages,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 currentinitial reporting period as it contains the greatest proportion of losses that have not been reported or settled. settled as well as heightened uncertainty for claims that involve litigation or take longer to settle during periods of rapidly increasing loss costs. The Company also has uncertainty in the Run-off Property-Liability reserves that are based on events long since passed and are complicated by lack of historical data, legal interpretations, unresolved legal issues and legislative intent based on establishment of facts.
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-liabilityproperty and casualty insurance claims and claims expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period such changes are determined.

Note 14Guarantees 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.operations in the last two years. 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
The Company provides residual value guarantees on Company leased automobiles. If all outstanding leases were terminated effective September 30, 2017, the Company’s maximum obligation pursuant to these guarantees, assuming the automobiles have no residual value, would be $32 million as of September 30, 2017. The remaining term of each residual value guarantee is equal to the term of the underlying lease that ranges from less than one year to four years. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these guarantees.
Related to the sale of LBL 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 Allstate Financial’s 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 partythird-party lawsuits.

The Allstate Corporation allstatelogohands03.jpg39


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.
Related to the sale of ALNY on October 1, 2021, AIC agreed to indemnify Wilton Reassurance Company in connection with certain representations, warranties and covenants of AIC, and certain liabilities specifically

excluded from the transaction, subject to specific contractual limitations regarding AIC’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 sale of ALIC and Allstate Assurance Company on November 1, 2021, AIC and Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation (collectively, the “Sellers”) agreed to indemnify Everlake US Holdings Company in connection with certain representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers, and certain liabilities specifically excluded from the transaction, subject to specific contractual limitations regarding the Sellers’ 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.
The aggregate liability balance related to all guarantees was not material as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023.
Regulation and Compliancecompliance
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 agentagency 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 Department of Labor, 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

40 allstatelogohands03.jpgwww.allstate.com


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 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 $300$148 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 litigating two class action casesmanaging various disputes in California in whichFlorida that raise challenges to the plaintiffs allege off-the-clock wageCompany’s practices, processes, and hour claims. Plaintiffs in both cases seek recovery of unpaid compensation, liquidated damages,procedures relating to claims for personal injury protection benefits under Florida auto policies.

The first case11th Circuit is Christopher Williams,holding determination on plaintiff’s class certification appeal pending the outcome of the Florida Supreme Court certification. The oral argument before the Florida Supreme Court was on March 8, 2023. The Company is also defending litigation involving individual plaintiffs.
The Company is defending putative class actions in various courts that raise challenges to the Company’s depreciation practices in homeowner property claims. In these lawsuits, plaintiffs generally allege that, when calculating actual cash value, the costs of “non-materials” such as labor, general contractor’s overhead and profit, and sales tax should not be subject to depreciation. The Company is currently defending the following lawsuits on this issue: Clark v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (Circuit Court of Independence Co., Ark. filed February 2016); Sims, et al. v. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company, et al. (W.D. Tex. filed June 2022); Thompson, et al. v. Allstate Insurance Company (Circuit Court of Cole Co., Mo. filed June 2022); Hill v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (Circuit Court of Cole Co., Mo. filed October 2022); Tabuga v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (D. Md. filed April 2023); and Shumway, et al. v Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company (D. Ariz. filed April 2023). No classes have been certified in any of these matters. The Williams case is pending in Los Angeles Superior Court and was filed in December 2007. The case involves two classes. The first class includes auto field physical damage adjusters employedcourt granted preliminary approval of a class-wide settlement in the state of California from January 1, 2005 to the date of final judgment, to the extent thefollowing cases: Perry v.

Oral argument occurred on October 26, 2017.
The second case is Jack Jimenez,March 2020); Ferguson-Luke, et al. v. Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company. Jimenez was (N.D. Ohio filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in September 2010. The plaintiffs allege that they worked off-the-clock; they also allege other California Labor Code violations resulting from purported unpaid overtime. In April 2012, 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 appealed the court’s decision to certify the class, first to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and then to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 15, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Allstate’s petition for a writ of certiorari. The case was scheduled for trial on September 27, 2016. On May 4, 2016, the court vacated that trial date in part because the court had not approved a trial plan. No trial date has been scheduled because the parties continue to wait for the court’s approval of a trial plan.
In addition to the California class actions, the case of Maria Victoria Perez and Kaela Brown,2020); Mitchell, et al. v. Allstate Vehicle and Property Insurance Company, was et al. (S.D.

TheThaxton v. Allstate Indemnity Company has been involved in litigation challenging whether the Company’s personal injury protection policies include sufficient language providing notice of the Company’s election to apply the fee schedules. The Florida personal injury protection statute permits insurers to pay personal injury protection benefits for reasonable medical expenses based on certain benefit reimbursement limitations which are authorized by the personal injury protection statute (generally referred to as “fee schedules”) resulting from automobile accidents.
On January 26, 2017, the Florida Supreme Court issued its decision in Allstate Insurance Company v. Orthopedic Specialists, et al. (Madison Co., holding that Allstate’s language was clear and unambiguous and provided adequate notice of its intent to use the fee schedules. On February 7, 2017, Orthopedic SpecialistsIll. filed a motion for rehearing, which the Florida Supreme Court denied on March 27, 2017. Thus, the Florida Supreme Court’s decision is final.
In light of this ruling, the fee schedule issue is expected to be resolved favorably to Allstate in other pending cases. ThereJuly 2020) were three other cases with petitions for leave to appealadded to the Florida Supreme Court pending. In those cases, three District Courts of Appeal had previously ruled in favor of Allstate. The Florida Supreme Court issued “show cause” orders in each of those appeals directing the providers to file a response explaining why the Orthopedic Specialists decision is not controlling and why the Florida Supreme Court should not decline to exercise jurisdiction. In one appeal, the provider acknowledged that Orthopedic Specialists governs and the court declined jurisdiction in that appeal. In the other two appeals, the providers asserted that their petitions to appeal should be granted because Orthopedic Specialists was wrongly decided, repeating the arguments previously asserted. Allstate’s responses were filed on May 8, 2017. On August 4, 2017, the Florida Supreme Court issued orders in both of those cases stating that the court was declining to exercise jurisdiction in those appeals. Accordingly, all proceedings on the fee schedule issue in the Florida Supreme Court have been concluded in Allstate’s favor.Hester complaint).
This fee schedule issue has also been the subject of thousands of individual lawsuits filed against Allstate in Florida. The decision by the Florida Supreme Courthas established Florida law on the sufficiency of Allstate’s fee schedule policy language that is binding on all Florida courts. Allstate intends to seek final resolution in its favor of all fee schedule claims currently in litigation as well as those not in litigation. Allstate may seek restitution from some plaintiffs for attorneys’ fees and costs.
Providers continue to pursue individual suits under various theories challenging the amounts paid when Allstate pays personal injury protection benefits under the fee schedule limitations. Allstate is vigorously asserting both procedural and substantive defenses to these suits.

This matter hasInre The Allstate Corp. Securities Litigation is a long and complex history, only relevant portions of which are summarized here. The case began in 2001 as two separate putativecertified class actions filed by approximately 32 former employee agents. In one case, plaintiffs challenged the reorganization alleging claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), interference with benefits under ERISA, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs also challenged the release of claims on various grounds

42 allstatelogohands03.jpgwww.allstate.com


including alleging that the release was retaliatory under the ADEA and ERISA. In the other case, plaintiffs challenged certain amendments to the Agents Pension Plan and sought to have service as Exclusive Agent independent contractors count toward eligibility for benefits. Plaintiffs sought various relief, including back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, liquidated damages, lost investment capital, loss of benefits, repeal of the challenged plan amendments and attorneys’ fees.
In February, 2014, the court addressed the validity and enforceability of the release and determined that the question of whether the releases were voluntarily signed raised disputed issues of fact to be resolved at trial. The court also held that the release, if valid, would bar all claims. In late 2014, the courtdenied plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class for purposes of determining whether the releases were signed voluntarily and ordered that all statutes of limitations would resume running, after which approximately 460 additional individual plaintiffs filed separate similar lawsuits or sought to intervene.
A jury trial was held in June, 2015, to determine whether the releases of ten plaintiffs were knowingly and voluntarily signed. The jury found that two plaintiffs signed their releases voluntarily and eight plaintiffs did not.
On May 2, 2016, a consolidated amended complaint wasaction filed on behalf of 498 plaintiffs, most of whom had previously filed separate lawsuits or intervened. On July 6,November 11, 2016 the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ state law breach of contract and fiduciary duty claims but granted dismissal of plaintiffs’ retaliation claims under the ADEA and ERISA challenging the release of claims.
The court then separated the case into phases to address “common issues” in plaintiffs’ claims, beginning with: (a) “Phase I” addressing claims by 118 plaintiffs alleging that certain plan amendments violated ERISA’s anti-cutback provision by eliminating an accrued benefit and (b) “Phase II” addressing all plaintiffs’ claims for alleged interference with employee benefits under ERISA and disparate impact under the ADEA.
A bench trial on Phase I claims was held in December, 2016. The court ruled that (i) the Company’s 1991 amendments to the Plan did not violate ERISA by improperly cutting back on plaintiffs’ benefits, and (ii) the Company’s interpretation of the Plan’s definition of “retire” violated ERISA’s anti-cutback rule. The court required the parties to provide further information, in the form of an accounting, to determine whether any plaintiffs suffered a loss based on any such cutback. Plaintiffs have asserted that only two of the 118 plaintiffs suffered a loss as a result of the court’s order. The Company contends that no plaintiff suffered a compensable loss and that judgment should be entered in favor of the Company. We await a final ruling by the court.
In Phase II, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on both the ADEA disparate impact and ERISA interference with benefits claims.  This ruling resolved these claims in the trial court as to all plaintiffs.
In June, 2017, the court entered an order establishing Phases III and IV of the litigation. In Phase III, the remaining claims of the eight individual plaintiffs who reside in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania were to be litigated, possibly culminating in two separate jury trials in early 2018. The Company filed several motions for summary judgment on the Phase III claims. The court granted the Company’s motion as to the Phase III plaintiffs’ ADEA disparate treatment claims and as to a retaliation claim that had been asserted by one of the Phase III plaintiffs. The court denied the Company’s motion on the Phase III plaintiffs’ breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims.
The Company and 82 individual plaintiffs, including all eight of the Phase III plaintiffs whose remaining claims were set for trial in early 2018, recently reached agreements in principle to settle all claims of those plaintiffs on a confidential basis, subject to negotiating and executing appropriate written settlement agreements. Three other plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims leaving 413 plaintiffs in this litigation.
The parties are currently engaging in further written discovery relating to the claims of the remaining plaintiffs (Phase IV of the litigation) pending the court’s determination of the proper venue for depositions, dispositive motions, and trials of those claims.
The final resolution of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and complexities including how trials, post-trial motions, possible appeals with respect to the validity of the release, and any rulings on the merits will be resolved.
The below shareholder derivative action is disclosed pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements for these types of matters, and the putative class action has been disclosed because both matters involve similar allegations. On August 3, 2017, a plaintiff alleging to be a stockholder in the Company filed a shareholder derivative complaint in the Circuit Court for Cook County, Chancery Division. The action is styled Biefeldt v. Wilson, et al., Case No. 2017 CH 10676 (Cook County, Ill.). In the complaint, plaintiff purports to assert claims on behalf of the Company for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty based on allegations that are similar to those asserted in the securities action described below. The complaint names as defendants the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, its president, its chief financial officer and the members of the board of directors during the period of the alleged misstatements or omissions regarding auto claims frequency. By agreement, the time to respond to the complaint has been extended through and including November 13, 2017. The complaint seeks, on behalf of the Company, an unspecified amount of damages and various forms of equitable relief.

On December 21, 2020, the district court again 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. Defendants’ petition for permission to appeal this ruling was denied on January 28, 2021. Following the close of discovery, defendants moved for summary judgment on March 23, 2022. On July 26, 2022, the court deems appropriate.
Asbestosentered its order granting summary judgment in part (as to plaintiffs’ claims relating to certain statements made in October 2014) and environmental
Allstate’s reserves for asbestos claims were $908 million and $912 million, net of reinsurance recoverables of $428 million and $444 million, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Reserves for environmental claims were $175 million and $179 million, net of reinsurance recoverables of $35 million and $40 million, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Management believes its net loss reserves for asbestos, environmental and other discontinued lines exposures are appropriately established based on available facts, technology, laws and regulations. However, establishing net loss reserves for asbestos, environmental and other discontinued lines claims is subject to uncertainties that are much greater than those presented by other types of claims. The ultimate cost of losses may vary materially from recorded amounts, which are based on management’s best estimate. Among the complications are lack of historical data, long reporting delays, uncertaintydenying it as to the numberremainder of plaintiffs’ claims. On January 10, 2023, the parties filed a joint pre-trial order. There is no date currently set for a pre-trial conference.

There has been no ruling on plaintiff’s motion for class certification in Hewitt. In these cases, plaintiffs generally allege that the defendants failed to comply with potential exposurecertain California statutes which address contractual grace periods and unresolved legal issues regarding policy coverage; unresolved legal issues regardinglapse notice requirements for certain life insurance policies.

In August 2021, the California Supreme Court in McHugh v.

Differences between expected and actual returns on plan assets affect remeasurement (gains) losses.

Pension and other asbestos defendants;postretirement service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and other uncertainties. Thereamortization of prior service credit are also complex legal issues concerning the interpretation of variousreported in property and casualty insurance policy provisions and whether those losses are covered, or were ever intended to be covered, and could be recoverable through retrospectively determined premium, reinsurance or other contractual agreements. Courts have reached different and sometimes inconsistent conclusions as to when losses are deemed to have occurred and which policies provide coverage; what types of losses are covered; whether there is an insurer obligation to defend; how policy limits are determined; how policy exclusions and conditions are applied and interpreted; and whether clean-up costs represent insured property damage. Further, insurersclaims and claims administrators acting on behalf of insurers are increasingly pursuing evolving and expanding theories of reinsurance coverage for asbestos and environmental losses. Adjudication of reinsurance coverage is predominately decided in confidential arbitration proceedings which may have limited precedential or predictive value further complicating management’s ability to estimate probable loss for reinsured asbestos and environmental claims. Management believes these issues are not likely to be resolved in the near future, and the ultimate costs may vary materially from the amounts currently recorded resulting in material changes in loss reserves. In addition, while the Company believes that improved actuarial techniques and databases have assisted in its ability to estimate asbestos, environmental, and other discontinued lines net loss reserves, these refinements may subsequently prove to be inadequate indicators of the extent of probable losses. Due to the uncertainties and factors described above, management believes it is not practicable to develop a meaningful range for any such additional net loss reserves that may be required.

15. Subsequent Events
Effective October 2017, the Company changed from four to seven reportable segments: Allstate Protection, Discontinued Lines and Coverages, Service Businesses, Allstate Life, Allstate Benefits, Allstate Annuities and Corporate and Other. These segments align with the Company’s key product and service offerings, including the acquisitionReport of SquareTrade and the strategic focus and expansion of Arity and other emerging businesses. These new segments reflect the manner in which the Company’s chief operating decision maker will review performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources.
Goodwill
Upon adoption of the new segments in the fourth quarter 2017, the Company is required to evaluate goodwill, including the allocation of goodwill to any new reporting units on a relative fair value basis. The Company allocated the $1.09 billion of goodwill recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of SquareTrade to the Service Businesses reporting unit along with an immaterial amount of goodwill from the Allstate Protection segment related to other businesses included in this segment. The Allstate Financial segment had goodwill that will be reallocated between the new Allstate Life, Allstate Benefits, and Allstate Annuities segments. While substantially all of Allstate Financial goodwill related to the acquisition of Allstate Benefits, the Company is required to allocate a portion of the goodwill to the Allstate Life and Allstate Annuities segments. The estimated allocation is $170 million to Allstate Life, $100 million to Allstate Benefits and $125 million to Allstate Annuities.
The reallocation was computed using fair values for the goodwill reporting units determined using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) calculations and market to book multiples derived from a peer company analysis. The DCF analysis utilizes long term assumptions for revenues, investment income, benefits, claims, other operating expenses and income taxes to produce projections of both income and cash flows available for dividends that are present valued using weighted average cost of capital. Market to book multiples represent the mean market to book multiple for selected peer companies with operations similar to the Company’s goodwill reporting units to which the multiple is applied. The outputs from these methods are weighted based on the nature of the business and the relative amount of market observable assumptions supporting the estimates. The computed values were then weighted to reflect the fair value estimate based on the specific attributes of each goodwill reporting unit.
A goodwill impairment assessment is required to be completed in conjunction with the segment changes. The Company estimates it will recognize an impairment of approximately $125 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the goodwill allocated to the Allstate Annuities reporting unit reflecting a market-based valuation.
Reserve for life-contingent contract benefits
Prior to fourth quarter 2017, the Company evaluated the adequacy of reserves and recoverability of DAC for traditional life insurance products and immediate annuities with life contingencies on an aggregate basis. The Company also evaluated these policies on an aggregate basis for circumstances where projected profits would be recognized in early years followed by projected losses in later years. As of September 30, 2017, both traditional life insurance and immediate annuities with life contingencies had projected profit as measured using actual and expected investment holdings and returns; however, the aggregate sufficiency substantially related to traditional life insurance with a marginal sufficiency related to immediate annuities with life contingencies. In conjunction with the segment change in fourth quarter 2017, the Company will review traditional life insurance products and immediate annuities with life contingencies separately.
The Company records an adjustment to the reserve for life-contingent contract benefits that represents the amount by which the reserve balance would increase if the net unrealized gains in the applicable product investment portfolios were realized and reinvested at current lower interest rates, resulting in a premium deficiency. The offset to this liability is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized net capital gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2017, no adjustment was recorded. In conjunction with the segment change in fourth quarter 2017, the Company will evaluate the need for a reserve adjustment separately for traditional life insurance and immediate annuities with life contingencies. The estimated impact, using values as of September 30, 2017, is approximately a $550 million increase to the reserve for life-contingent contract benefits, and a $350 million decrease to unrealized net capital gains, after-tax, included in shareholders’ equity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
Overview
Allstate is focused on the following priorities:
better serve our customers;
achieve target economic returns on capital;
grow customer base;
proactively manage investments; and
build long-term growth platforms.Overview
The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing the consolidated financial position and results of operations of The Allstate Corporation (referred to in this document as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “Allstate”). It should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto found under Part I. Item 1. contained herein, and with the discussion, analysis, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part I. Item 1. and Part II. Item 7. and Item 8. of The Allstate Corporation Annual Reportannual report on Form 10-K for 2016. 2022, filed February 16, 2023. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Further analysis of our insurance segments is provided in the Property-Liability Operations (which includes theand Segment Results sections, including Allstate Protection and the Discontinued LinesRun-off Property-Liability, Protection Services and Coverages segments)Allstate Health and in the Allstate Financial Segment sectionsBenefits, of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). The segments are consistent with the way in which we use financial information to evaluate business performance and to determine the allocation of resources. Resources are allocated by the chief operating decision maker and performance is assessed for Allstate Protection, Discontinued Lines and Coverages and Allstate Financial. Allstate Protection and Allstate Financialreviews financial performance and resources are managed by committees of senior officers of the respective segments. The Allstate Protection segment also includes SquareTrade and Arity.
Effective October 2017, we changed from four to seven reportable segments: Allstate Protection, Discontinued Lines and Coverages, Service Businesses, Allstate Life, Allstate Benefits, Allstate Annuities and Corporate and Other. These segments align with our key product and service offerings, including the acquisition of SquareTrade and the strategic focus and expansion of Arity and other emerging businesses. These new segments also reflect the manner in which our chief operating decision maker will review performance and makemakes decisions about the allocation of resources.
Macroeconomic Impacts
The changeNovel Coronavirus Pandemic or COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”) and subsequent U.S. government fiscal and monetary policies have and may continue to effect economic activity through longer-term impacts such as supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and other macroeconomic factors that have increased inflation and affected our operations. These factors may continue to significantly affect results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The impact from the pandemic and the ongoing effects should be considered when comparing the current period to prior periods.
Over the past several quarters, inflation continued to remain elevated, which led to increases in reporting segmentsinterest rates by the Federal Reserve and a widening of credit spreads reflecting ongoing recession concerns. Many foreign governmental authorities and central banks have also responded to inflationary pressure, generally through more restrictive monetary policy, such as increasing target interest rates. These actions and other ongoing impacts goodwillfrom the pandemic could create significant economic uncertainty. Market volatility resulting from these factors and reserves for life-contingent contract benefits. For additional detail see Note 15 “Subsequent Events”from disruptions in the banking industry have and may continue to impact our investment valuations and returns.
This is not inclusive of all potential impacts and should not be treated as such. Within the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.MD&A we have included further disclosures related to macroeconomic impacts on our 2023 results.

Russia/Ukraine Conflict
The Russia-Ukraine war and related sanctions imposed as a result of this Form 10-Q.conflict have increased global economic and political uncertainty, including inflationary pressures and an increased risk of cybersecurity incidents. Allstate does not have operations or direct investments in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, but we could experience significant indirect impacts on the investment portfolio, financial position, or results of operations.

Corporate Strategy

Property-Liability

Property-Liability Operations
Overview Our Property-Liability operations consist of two reporting segments: Allstate Protection and Discontinued Lines and Coverages. Allstate Protection comprises three brands where we accept underwriting risk: Allstate, Esurance and Encompass. Allstate Protection is principally engaged in the sale of personal property and casualty insurance, primarily private passenger auto and homeowners insurance, to individuals in the United States and Canada. Allstate Protection also includes service businesses Allstate Roadside Services, Allstate Dealer Services and Arity, which are included in Allstate brand, and SquareTrade. These businesses have a higher service component to the business model than our traditional property and casualty products such as auto or homeowners insurance. Discontinued Lines and Coverages includes results from property-liability insurance coverage that we no longer write. Our exposure to asbestos, environmental and other discontinued lines claims arises principally from direct excess insurance, assumed reinsurance coverage, direct primary commercial insurance and other businesses in run-off. These segments are consistent with the groupings of financial information that management uses to evaluate performance and to determine the allocation of resources. In fourth quarter 2017, we are changing our reportable segments. See Note 15 “Subsequent Events” of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Underwriting income is calculated as premiums earned and other revenue, less claims and claims expense (“losses”), amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), operating costs and expenses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles and restructuring and related charges, as determined using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use this measure in our evaluation of results of operations to analyze profitability.
Adjusted net income is net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, excluding:
Net gains and losses on investments and derivatives
Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses
Amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles
Gain or loss on disposition
Adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items, when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, or (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years
Income tax expense or benefit on reconciling items

Consolidated net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders
($ in millions)
6435
Consolidated net loss applicable to common shareholders was $346 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to income of $634 million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher losses driven by severity and frequency and higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by increased Property-Liability premiums earned.

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, return on Allstate common shareholders’ equity was (13.0)%, a decrease of 28.6 points from 15.6% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022.
Total revenue
($ in millions)
6441


Total revenue increased 11.8% to $13.79 billion in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to an increase of 10.9% in property and casualty insurance premiums earned in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 and net gains on investments and derivatives in 2023 compared to net losses in 2022.
Net investment income
($ in millions)
6449


Net investment income decreased $19 million to $575 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower performance-based investment results, mainly from limited partnerships, largely offset by higher market-based income. Market-based reflects higher fixed income portfolio yields and balance.

Segment highlights
Allstate Protection underwriting loss was $998 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to underwriting income of $282 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to higher non-catastrophe losses, primarily for auto insurance, and higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by increased premiums. We are executing a comprehensive plan to improve auto insurance profitability, including broadly raising rates, reducing operating expenses and advertising, implementing underwriting restrictions in underperforming states and executing claims operating actions to manage loss costs.
Catastrophe losses were $1.69 billion in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $462 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Premiums written increased 9.5% to $11.78 billion in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, reflecting higher premiums in both Allstate and National General brands.
Protection Services adjusted net income was $34 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $53 million in the first quarter of 2022, due to Allstate Protection Plans higher appliance and furniture claim severity, a shift in business mix and lower third-party advertising sales by Arity. The decrease was partially offset by growth in new business at Allstate Protection Plans.
First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q 49


Premiums and other revenue increased 7.8% or $45 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, primarily due to Allstate Protection Plans.
Allstate Health and Benefits adjusted net income was $56 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $57 million in the first quarter 2022, primarily due to a decline in employer voluntary benefits, partially offset by growth in group health.
Premiums and contract charges decreased 1.1% to $463 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, primarily due to a decline in individual health and employer voluntary benefits, partially offset by growth in group health.
Adopted accounting standard
Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) guidance revising the accounting for certain long-duration insurance contracts using the modified retrospective approach to the transition date of January 1, 2021.
Under the new guidance, measurement assumptions, including those for mortality, morbidity and policy lapses, are required to be reviewed at least annually, and updated as appropriate. In addition, reserves under the new guidance are required to be discounted using an upper-medium grade fixed income instrument yield that is updated through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) at each reporting date. Additionally, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) for all long-duration products will be amortized on a simplified basis. Our reserve for future policy benefits and DAC will be subject to new disclosure guidance.

In addition, the Company met the conditions included in Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-05, Transition for Sold Contracts, and elected to not apply the new guidance for contracts that were part of the 2021 sales of Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) and Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (“ALNY”).
After-tax cumulative effect of change in accounting principle on transition date
($ in millions)January 1, 2021
Decrease in retained income$21 
Decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”)277 
Total decrease in equity$298
The table below includes decrease in AOCI is primarily attributable to a change in the discount rate used in measuring the reserve for future policy benefits for traditional life contracts and other long-term products with guaranteed terms from a portfolio-based rate at contract issuance to an upper-medium grade fixed income-based rate at the reporting date. The decrease in retained income primarily relates to certain cohorts of long-term contracts whose expected net premiums exceeded expected gross premiums which resulted in an increase in reserves and a decrease in retained income equal to the present value of expected future benefits less the present value of expected future premiums at the transition date.
See Note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the impact of the adopted accounting standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Property-Liability Operations


Property-Liability Operations
Overview Property-Liability operations consist of two reportable segments: Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability. 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, net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, or assets to the Allstate Protection and Run-off Property-Liability segments. Management reviews assets at the Property-Liability level for decision-making purposes.
GAAP operating ratios we use are used to measure our profitability. We believe that theyprofitability to enhance an investor’s understanding of our profitability. Theyfinancial results and are calculated as follows:
Claims and claims expense (“loss”) ratio - Loss ratio: the ratio of claims and claims expense (loss adjustment expenses), to premiums earned. Loss ratios include the impact of catastrophe losses.losses and prior year reserve reestimates.
Expense ratio - ratio: the ratio of amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses, amortization or impairment 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, and restructuring and related charges to premiums earned. The combined ratio isratio: 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. The impacts are calculated by taking the specific items noted below divided by Property-Liability premiums earned:
Effect of catastrophe losses on combined ratio - the percentageratio: includes catastrophe losses and prior year reserve reestimates 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 percentage 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 intangible assetsintangibles on combined ratio - the percentage of amortization of purchased intangible assets to premiums earned. Amortization of purchased intangible assets is reported in operating costs and expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Effect of restructuring and related charges on combined ratio - the percentage
Effect of Run-off Property-Liability business on combined ratio: includes claims and claims expense, 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 LinesRun-off Property-Liability segment
Premium measures and Coverages segmentstatistics are used to analyze our premium trends and are calculated as follows:
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 counts for shared economy agreements typically reflect contracts that cover multiple rather than individual drivers. Lender-placed policies are excluded from policy counts because relationships are with the lenders.
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 brand.
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.
Renewal ratio: renewal policy item counts issued during the period, based on contract effective dates, divided by the total policy item counts issued generally 6 months prior for auto or 12 months prior for homeowners.
Implemented rate changes: represents the impact in the locations (U.S. states, the District of Columbia or Canadian provinces) where rate changes were implemented during the period as a percentage of total brand prior year-end premiums written.
Frequency and severity statistics, which are influenced by driving patterns, inflation and other factors, are provided to describe the trends in loss costs. 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:
Gross claim frequency is calculated as annualized notice counts, excluding counts associated with catastrophe events, 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).

Report year incurred claim severityis calculated by dividing the sum of recorded estimated incurred losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses, excluding catastrophes, by the effectreported notice counts during that report year. Report year incurred claim severity does not include incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses or benefits from subrogation and salvage.
Paid claim severityis calculated by dividing the sum of Discontinued Linespaid losses and Coverages onloss expenses by claims closed with a payment during the combined ratio andperiod.

Auto insurance premiums written to premiums earned is shownincreased 10.4% or $787 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to the following table.factors:
Increased average premiums driven by rate increases. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, rate increases of 8.4% were taken for Allstate brand in 28 locations, resulting in total Allstate brand insurance premium impact of 1.7%
Rate increases of 5.6% were taken for National General brand in 28 locations, resulting in total National General brand insurance premium impact of 1.9%
We expect to continue to pursue rate increases for both Allstate and National General brands
throughout 2023 to improve auto insurance profitability
PIF decreased 1.3% or 338 thousand to 25,733 thousand as of March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022
Renewal ratio decreased 1.8 points
Decreased new issued applications driven by the direct and exclusive agency channels, partially offset by growth in the independent agency channel
The impact of the ongoing rate increases and temporary reductions in advertising have and may continue to have an adverse effect on the renewal ratio and future PIF growth

Homeowners insurance premiums writtenincreased 11.1% or $253 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to the following factors:
Higher Allstate brand average premiums from inflation in insured home replacement costs and implemented rate increases, combined with policies in force growth. National General policy growth is expected to be negatively impacted in future quarters as we improve underwriting margins to targeted levels through underwriting and rate actions
Increased new issued applications driven by growth in the independent agency channel
Policy growth is being reduced in states and lines of business that are underperforming. We are no longer writing new homeowners business in California and Florida, and we may take further actions, which have and will continue to negatively impact premiums

Commercial lines premiums written decreased 22.8% or $67 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, due to profitability actions taken to no longer offer coverage to transportation network companies unless the

Labor and part cost increases
Changes in commuting activity
Driving behavior (e.g., speed, time of day) impacting severity and mix of claim types
Organizational and process changes impacting claim opening and closing practices and shifts in timing, if any, can impact comparisons to prior periods
The quarterly auto loss ratio has been more variable due to these and additional factors discussed below.
Auto loss ratio increased 5.8 points in the first quarter compared to the same period of 2022. Estimated report year 2023 incurred claim severity for Allstate brand, excluding Esurance and Canada, increased 9% to 11% for all major coverages compared to the prior year due to higher part costs and labor rates for repairable vehicles, a higher mix of total losses, an increase in claims with attorney representation and higher medical consumption and inflation. Gross claim frequency increased in all coverages, but remains below pre-pandemic levels.
Homeowners loss ratio increased 36.7 points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses and severity, partially offset by increased premiums earned.

Underwriting income totaled $517 millionOther personal lines loss ratioincreased 21.7 points in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023, compared to $455 millionthe same period of 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophes losses, partially offset by increased premiums earned.
Commercial lines loss ratioincreased 14.9 points in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162023 compared to the same period of 2022, primarily due to premiums earned decreasing as a result of profitability actions and $1.26continued elevated frequency and severity.
Other business lines loss ratio increased 12.1 points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, primarily due to higher catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses.
Catastrophe lossesincreased $1.23 billion to $1.69 billion in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $518 million in the first nine months of 2016. The increases in both periods were primarily due to increased premiums earned, lower claim frequency and favorable prior year reserve reestimates, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses.

Catastrophe losses were $861 million and $2.64 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to $481 million and $2.27 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively. Catastrophe losses included $507 million and $134 million related to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, respectively, in the third quarter of 2017, with over 100 thousand auto and homeowners reported claims, excluding flood related homeowners claims. Over 85% of the reported claims have been closed.
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. We voluntarily participate as a Write Your Own carrier in the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”). The NFIP is administered and regulated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. We write the policy for the NFIP, which assumes 100% of the flood risk, while we retain a commission for our service. We operate in a fiduciary capacity as a fiscal agent of the federal government in the issuing and administering of the Standard Flood Insurance Policy. The federal government is obligated to pay all claims and certain allocated loss adjustment expenses in accordance with the arrangement. Congress is considering reforms to the program that would be incorporated in legislation to reauthorize the NFIP as well as evaluating the funding of the program.
Hurricane Irma property losses are covered by our Florida Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance Agreement which is comprised of five contracts and provides $658 million of coverage for personal lines property excess catastrophe losses caused by multiple perils in Florida subject to a $20 million retention. We ceded approximately $90 million of claims and claims expense related to these reinsurance agreements. Hurricane Harvey catastrophe losses were $507 million. These losses were subject to our personal lines property and auto nationwide reinsurance agreement. However, the losses qualifying under this agreement did not exceed the program’s $500 million retention. For details of our catastrophe reinsurance program see Note 10 on our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2016 and Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis on our Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
We are subject to assessments from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation in the state of Florida (“FL Citizens”). FL Citizens, at the discretion and direction of its Board of Governors, can levy a regular assessment on assessable insurers and assessable insureds for a deficit in any calendar year up to a specified amount with the insurer having the ability to recoup a regular assessment through a surcharge to policyholders. Based on initial estimates by the Board of Governors, FL Citizens has sufficient resources to cover the losses from Hurricane Irma, and the impact of the storm will not put the program in a deficit position.  See Note 14 on our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2016 for additional information.
We also participate as a member of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (“TWIA”) which provides wind and hail coverage to coastal risks unable to procure coverage in the voluntary market. Wind and hail coverage is written on a TWIA-issued policy. The TWIA board has the ability to assess insurers operating in the state, but has not indicated any assessments to insurers at this time. See Note 14 on our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2016 for additional information.
The first nine months of 2017 and 2016 have been impacted by higher than normal historical year-to-date catastrophe losses2023 compared to the pastfirst quarter of 2022, primarily related to five years. For additional information on the impacts of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma see the brand discussions below.wind events in March.
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, civil unrest, wildfires 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. The establishment of appropriate reserves, including reserves for catastrophe losses, is an inherently uncertain and complex process. Reserving for hurricane losses is complicated by the inability of insureds to promptly report losses, limitations placed on claims adjusting staff affecting their ability to inspect losses, determining whether losses are covered by our homeowners policy (generally for damage caused by wind or wind driven rain) or specifically excluded coverage caused by flood, exposure to mold damage, and the effects of numerous other considerations, including the timing of a catastrophe in relation to other events, such as at or near the end of a financial reporting period, which can affect the availability of information needed to estimate reserves for that reporting period. In these situations, we may need to adapt our practices to accommodate these circumstances in order to determine a best estimate of our losses from a catastrophe.
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 by our participation in various state facilities.

Ratios are calculated using Property-Liability premiums earned.
(3)
Prior year reserve reestimates included in catastrophe losses totaled $7 million and $10 million favorable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $3 million and $13 million unfavorable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
Favorable reserve reestimates in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 primarily relate to severity development for auto injury coverages that was better than expected. Severity development for auto injury coverages was due in part to claims process improvements.

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.
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 (“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 brands policy terms are 6 months for auto and 12 months for homeowners. Encompass brand policy terms are 12 months for auto and 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 (12 months prior for Encompass brand) or 12 months prior for homeowners.

Auto loss ratio decreased 5.5 points and 6.8 points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to increased premiums earned, lower claim frequency and higher favorable prior year reserve reestimates, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses.
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.
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. 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.
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 little differences as timing between opening and settlement is minimal. 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.
Paid claim severity is calculated by dividing the sum of paid losses and loss expenses by claims closed with a payment during the period. The percent change in paid claim severity is calculated as the amount of increase or decrease in paid claim severity in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year; divided by the prior year paid claims severity.
Claims is operating in a continuous improvement environment, actively focusing on effective loss cost management, process efficiency and leveraging emerging technologies to enhance the customer experience. The aim is to ensure a fast, fair and easy claims experience. We have been simplifying and streamliningcompleted the claim handling process using leading technology, self-servicing capabilities and electronic payments.
We have opened several Digital Operating Centers to handle auto claims countrywide utilizingplacement of our virtual estimation capabilities, which includes estimating damage through photos with2023-2024 Nationwide Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance Program (the “Nationwide Program”), the use of QuickFoto Claim® and Virtual AssistSM (video chat technology used to review supplemental damage with auto body shops). We are assessing wind and hail property claims throughNational General Reciprocal Excess Catastrophe Program, the use of drones, piloted airplanes and satellite imagery. We are continuing to aggressively seek new technology and process solutions to provide continued loss cost accuracy, efficient processes and customer experiences that are simple, fast and produce high degrees of satisfaction. While these claims organizational and process changes are occurring, frequency and severity statistics may be impacted as changes in claim opening and closing practices, if any, can impact comparisons to prior periods.
Property damage paid claim frequency decreased 9.0% and 5.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. 47 states experienced a year over year decrease in property damage paid claim frequency in third quarter 2017 when compared to third quarter 2016.Property damage paid claim severities increased 4.9% and 3.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. Property damage paid claim severity trend is being impacted by claims process changes involving QuickFoto Claim and Virtual Assist, which impacts the timing of claim payments. 
Bodily injury gross claim frequency decreased 5.6% and 5.5% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. Bodily injury paid claim frequency decreased 9.1% and 18.5% while bodily injury paid claim severity increased 15.0% and 23.3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. Claim process changes in the second half of 2016 related to enhanced documentation of injuries and related medical treatments are having a related impact on paid claim frequency and severity due to payment mix and claim closure patterns.  These process changes normalized during the first half of 2017Kentucky Earthquake Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance Contract, and the related impacts on the percent change in paid claim frequency and severity have begun to moderate in third quarter 2017.
Homeowners loss ratio increased 4.8 points and 1.7 points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by higher favorable prior year reserve reestimates and increased premiums earned. Paid claim frequency excluding catastrophe losses decreased 5.4% and increased 1.0% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. Paid claim severity excluding catastrophe losses increased 8.1% and 4.1% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. Homeowner paid claim severity can be impacted by both the mix of perilsCanada Catastrophe Excess Reinsurance Contract. The Florida Excess Catastrophe Reinsurance Program and the magnitude of specific losses paid during the quarter.
Other personal lines loss ratio increased 16.1 points and 4.6 points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to higher catastrophe losses, unfavorable prior year reserve reestimates and higher claim severity, partially offset by increased premiums earned.
Commercial lines loss ratio decreased 5.1 points in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower unfavorable prior year reserve reestimates and lower claim frequency, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses. Commercial lines loss ratio decreased 18.0 points in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to lower unfavorable prior year reserve reestimates, lower catastrophe losses and claim frequency.

Underwriting loss totaled $19 million in the third quarter of 2017, an improvement from $41 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $55 million in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $103 million in the first nine months of 2016. The improvements in both periods were primarily due to increased premiums earned, decreased homeowners marketing and lower amortization of purchased intangible assets, partially offset by higher catastrophe losses and lower favorable prior year reserve reestimates.
We are focused on improving our results through profit improvement actions that include rate increases, a shift to lower risk customers, and decreased homeowners marketing while enhancing processes and operations to improve the customer experience.

Expense ratio decreased 5.4 points and 6.0 points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016. Esurance uses a direct distribution model, therefore its primary acquisition-related costs are advertising as opposed to commissions. Esurance advertising expense ratio decreased 2.4 points and 3.1 points in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to reductions in homeowners marketing spending.
Other costs and expenses, including salaries of telephone sales personnel and other underwriting costs related to customer acquisition, were lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016. Expense ratio includes amortization of purchased intangible assets from the original acquisition in 2011. Starting in 2017, the portion of the remaining purchased intangible asset related to the Esurance brand name was classified as an infinite-lived intangible and is no longer being amortized, but instead tested for impairment on an annual basis.

Underwriting income totaled $29 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $5 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to the improvement in auto and homeowner underwriting income resulting from decreased loss costs, including lower catastrophe losses. Underwriting loss totaled $16 million in the first nine months of 2017, an improvement from $28 million in the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to improved auto loss costs, partially offset by higher homeowners catastrophe losses.
We continue to implement actions to improve profitability in states with inadequate returns, including announcing exiting operations in MassachusettsNational General Lender Services Program will be completed in the second quarter of 2017.  These actions have led2023.

$105 million of placed limits in excess of a $4.75 billion retention and $131 million of placed limits in excess of a $5.54 billion retention, both with a 5% co-participation and
one reinstatement of limits over each contract’s eight-year term.
$375 million of placed limits in single-year placements filling capacity around the multi-year and ILS placements:
One contract providing $95 million of placed limits in excess of a $4.75 billion retention, with two limits available in any one contract year.
One contract providing $260 million of placed limits in excess of a $4.75 billion retention, with no annual reinstatement.
One contract providing $20 million of placed limits in excess of a $6.82 billion retention, with no annual reinstatement. 
ILS placements provide $1.78 billion of placed limits, with no reinstatement of limits, and are comprised of the following:
Six contracts providing occurrence coverage of $1.05 billion of placed limits, reinsuring losses in all states except Florida caused by named storms, earthquakes and fire following earthquakes, severe weather, wildfires, and other naturally occurring or man-made events determined to be a catastrophe by the Company.
Three contracts providing occurrence and aggregate coverage of $405 million of placed limits, also provide that for each annual period beginning April 1, Allstate declared catastrophes to personal lines property and automobile business can be aggregated to erode the aggregate retention and qualify for coverage under the aggregate limits.

The total cost of our property catastrophe reinsurance programs, excluding reinstatement premiums, during the first quarter of 2023 was $219 million, compared to prior year for both auto and homeowners. Targeted growth plans have been tailored and focused on eight states that are growing or have improved trends. New issued applications in these eight states increased approximately 20% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. PIF decreased approximately 5% in these same eight states compared to an approximate 15% decrease in all states. Our growth plan includes leveraging competitive rates, enhancing pricing and underwriting sophistication, implementing best in class underwriting and claim processes, enhancing product analytics, and focusing on geographic diversification.

SquareTrade was acquired on January 3, 2017(1)Approximately 65% and provides protection plans covering a wide range64% of consumer appliance and electronic products through retail distribution and mobile operator channels.  Under these protection plans, SquareTrade agrees to repair, replace or indemnify the customer for the cost to repair or replace such products from mechanical or electrical failure due to normal wear and tear. Protection plans also provide additional coverages beyond the manufacturer’s warranty, and in certain cases, accidental damage from handling. Premium revenue and claims and claims expense are recognized over the term of the protection plans. SquareTrade purchases contractual liability insurance from third party insurance companies to support claims settlements in the event SquareTrade is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. The arrangement results in SquareTrade recognizing the claims settlement costs. The insurer would recognize claims settlement costs only in the event SquareTrade is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation or if claims costs are in excess of pre-determined thresholds. SquareTrade is generally required to deposit amounts expected to cover losses into a trust held for paying claims. Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”) reinsures certain of the third party insurers, including SquareTrade’s largest third party insurer. SquareTrade’s results include the effects of this reinsurance.
Underwriting loss totaled $29 million and $86 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, primarily due to $23 million and $69 million, respectively, of amortization of purchased intangible assets. In conjunction with the acquisition, we recognized $555 million of intangible assets for which we anticipate recognizing pre-tax amortization expense of approximately $90 million in 2017. Intangible assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis, with approximately 75% of the balance expected to be amortized by 2021. The SquareTrade brand name was classified as an infinite-lived intangible and will be tested for impairment on an annual basis.
Premiums written increased 22.4% or $19 million to $104 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $85 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to continued growth through our US retail channel. PIF increased by 2.8 million to 34.1 milliongross case reserves as of September 30, 2017 compared to 31.3 million as of June 30, 2017.
Claims and claims expense totaled $40 million and $105 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, and the third quarter of 2017 increased compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to business growth.
Other costs and expenses primarily include employee-related costs and professional service fees.

Discontinued

Discontinued Lines and Coverages Segment
Overview The Discontinued Lines and Coverages segment includes results from property-liability insurance coverage that primarily relates to polices written during the 1960's through the mid-1980's. Our exposure to asbestos, environmental and other discontinued lines claims arises principally from direct excess insurance, assumed reinsurance coverage, direct primary commercial insurance and other businesses in run-off. We have assigned management of this segment to a designated group of professionals with expertise in claims handling, policy coverage interpretation, exposure identification and reinsurance collection. As part of its responsibilities, this group may at times be engaged in policy buybacks, settlements and reinsurance assumed and ceded commutations.

Our 2017 annual reserve review, using established industry and actuarial best practices, resulted in unfavorable reestimates of $85 million, including $61 million for asbestos exposures, primarily related to new reported information and settlement agreements, including bankruptcy proceedings; $10 million for environmental exposures; $27 million for other exposures, partially offset by a $13 million decrease in the allowance for future uncollectible reinsurance. Our 2016 annual reserve review resulted in unfavorable reestimates of $96 million, including $67 million of asbestos reserves, $23 million of environmental reserves and a $6 million increase in the allowance for future uncollectible reinsurance with other exposure reserves essentially unchanged.
The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables was $70 million and $84 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The allowance represents 11.7%2022, respectively, are subject to settlement agreements.

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.

Premiums and contract charges increased 1.9% or $6 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 2.6% or $24 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016. The increase in both periods primarily relates to higher traditional life insurance renewal premiums as well as lower levels of reinsurance premiums ceded.
Contract benefitsAdjusted net income decreased 12.2% or $24 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to more favorable life insurance mortality experience.

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.
Amortization of DAC decreased 6.5% or $2 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher amortization deceleration for changes in assumptions. Amortization of DAC increased 6.1% or $6 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to higher gross profits and net realized capital gains on interest-sensitive life insurance, partially offset by higher amortization deceleration for changes in assumptions.
Our annual comprehensive review of assumptions underlying estimated future gross profits for our interest-sensitive life contracts covers assumptions for mortality, persistency, expenses, investment returns, including capital gains and losses, interest crediting rates to policyholders, and the effect of any hedges. In the third quarter of 2017, the review resulted in a deceleration of DAC amortization (increase to income) of $14 million. In the third quarter of 2016, the review resulted in a deceleration of DAC amortization of $6 million.
The following table provides the effect on DAC amortization of changes in assumptions relating to the gross profit components of investment margin, benefit margin and expense margin for the nine months ended September 30.

In 2017, DAC amortization acceleration for changes in the investment margin component of estimated gross profits was due to continued low interest rates and lower projected investment returns. The deceleration related to benefit margin was due to a decrease in projected mortality.

Operating costs and expenses decreased 5.1% or $3 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower non-deferrable commissions and regulatory compliance costs. Operating costs and expenses increased 2.4% or $4 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to higher employee related costs and higher net distribution expenses reflecting increased regulatory compliance costs and lower fees from sales of third party financial products, partially offset by lower non-deferrable commissions.

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $29 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $25 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher premiums and contract charges, partially offset by higher contract benefits. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $76 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $74 million in the first nine months of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher premiums and contract charges, partially offset by higher contract benefits and operating costs and expenses.

Contract charges related to the cost of insurance totaled $15 million and $14 million for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $45 million and $44 million for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Premiums and contract charges increased 6.2% or $16 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 6.9% or $52 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016. Thean increase in both periods primarily relates to growth in critical illness, disability, hospital indemnitygroup health administrative fees.
Accident, health and accident products. Policies in force increased 8.1% as of September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016.
Contractother policy benefits increased 8.4% or $11 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 10.8% or $41 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to growth and higher claim experience.
Benefit spread increased 6.4% to $117 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 3.9% to $350 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $110 million and $337 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, primarily due to growth in business in force, partially offset by higher claim experience.
Amortization of DAC decreased 16.2% or $6 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 3.7% or $4 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to lower amortization associated with our annual comprehensive review of assumptions and more favorable persistency. Our annual comprehensive review of assumptions underlying estimated future gross profits for our interest-sensitive life contracts resulted in an acceleration of DAC amortization (decrease to income) of $1 million in third quarter 2017 compared to $4 million in third quarter 2016.

We discontinued the sale of annuities over an eight year period from 2006 to 2014, reflecting our expectations of declining returns. Policies in force as of September 30, 2017 were 145 thousand and 91 thousand for deferred annuities and immediate annuities, respectively.
Net income applicable to common shareholders was $66 million and $156 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to $12 million and $29 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher net investment income, net realized capital gains in 2017 compared to net realized capital losses in 2016, lower interest credited to contractholder funds and lower contract benefits.
Net investment income increased 12.1% or $35 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 11.3% or $98 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to higher limited partnership income, reflecting growth of our performance-based portfolio and including private equity value appreciation and distributions related to the sales of underlying investments. The investment portfolio supporting our immediate annuities is managed to ensure the assets match the characteristics of the liabilities and provide the long-term returns needed to support this business. To better match the long-term nature of our immediate annuities, we continue to increase performance-based investments in which we have ownership interests and a greater proportion of return is derived from idiosyncratic asset or operating performance. Economic conditions and equity market performance are reflected in performance-based investment results and income could vary significantly between periods.
Net realized capital gains in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017 primarily related to net gains on sales in connection with ongoing portfolio management, partially offset by impairment write-downs.
Contract benefits decreased 9.6% or $15 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 4.1% or $19 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016, primarily due to immediate annuity mortality experience.
We analyze 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 (“benefit spread”). This implied interest totaled $124 million and $376 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to $126 million and $383 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively. Benefit spread improved 50.0% to $(14) million in the third quarter of 2017 and 17.1% to $(58) million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $(28) million and $(70) million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively.
Interest credited to contractholder funds decreased 6.9% or $7 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 10.1% or $32 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same periods of 2016, 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 $2 million and $3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to increases of zero and $12 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively.
In order to analyze the impact of net investment income and interest credited to contractholders on net income, we monitor 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 (“investment spread”).
The investment spread by product group is shown in the following table.

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 limited partnerships.

Fixed income securities are rated by third partythird-party credit rating agencies and/or are internally rated. The Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the fixed income securities of insurers for regulatory reporting and capital assessment purposes. The NAIC assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories defined as “NAIC designations”. In general, securities with NAIC designations of 1 and 2 are considered investment grade and securities with NAIC designations of 3 through 6 are considered below investment grade. The rating is either received from the SVO based on availability of applicable ratings from rating agencies on the NAIC Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO”) provider list, including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or a comparable internal rating.
As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents, and the completion of the SVO filing process, the portfolio includes certain securities that have not yet been designated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date and the categorization of these securities is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.
As of September 30, 2017, 86.3%March 31, 2023, 91.0% of the consolidated fixed income securities portfolio was rated investment grade. Credit ratings below these designations are considered lower credit quality or below 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 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. includes high yield bonds.
Market prices for certain securities may have credit spreads which imply higher or lower credit quality than the current third partythird-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.issuer.
Fixed income portfolio monitoring is a comprehensive process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security that may require a credit loss allowance. The 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 internally established thresholds. For further detail on our fixed income portfolio monitoring process, see Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The consumer goods, utilities and capital goods sectors comprise 31%, 13% and 11%, respectively, of the carrying value of our corporate fixed income securities portfolio as of September 30, 2017. The consumer goods, utilities and banking sectors had the highest concentration of gross unrealized losses in our corporate fixed income securities portfolio as of September 30, 2017. In general, the gross unrealized losses are related to an increase in market yields which may include increased risk-free interest rates and/orand 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.

Includes $763 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 6.0% and 6.4% in the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Allstate Financial strives to promptly pay customers who request cash surrenders; however, statutory regulations generally provide up to six months in most states to fulfill surrender requests.

The following updates the regulation disclosures included in Part I Regulation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2016 and Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
Department of Labor. In August 2017, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) filed a proposed amendment to its Fiduciary Rule which would extend the Rule’s transition period until July 1, 2019. It is yet to be determined whether the proposed 18-month delay will occur or whether any other action, including changes to the Rule’s requirements, will result from the DOL’s continued examination of the Rule. In addition, the new Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman has pledged to work with the DOL Secretary on a fiduciary rule.
Dodd-Frank. The Secretary of the Treasury (operating through Federal Insurance Office (“FIO”)) and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) are jointly authorized, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”), to negotiate a Covered Agreement with one or more foreign governments, authorities, or regulatory entities. A Covered Agreement is a written bilateral or multilateral agreement that “relates to the recognition of prudential measures with respect to the business of insurance or reinsurance that achieves a level of protection for insurance or reinsurance consumers that is substantially equivalent to the level of protection achieved under State insurance or reinsurance regulation.” As provided in Dodd-Frank, a Covered Agreement cannot supersede state insurance measures that govern an insurer’s rates, premiums, underwriting or sales practices; any state insurance coverage requirements; the application of antitrust laws of any state to the business of insurance; or any state insurance measure governing insurer capital or solvency, except where a state insurance measure results in less favorable treatment of a non-U.S. insurer than a U.S. insurer.
In November 2015, Treasury and USTR notified Congress that they were formally initiating negotiations on a Covered Agreement with the EU (the “Covered Agreement”) addressing: permanent equivalence treatment of the U.S. regulatory system by the EU; the confidential sharing of information by regulators across jurisdictions, and elimination of reinsurance collateral requirements for EU-based foreign reinsurers in all states that meet certain conditions. On January 13, 2017, the Secretary of the Treasury and USTR jointly submitted a Covered Agreement consistent with their November 2015 notification to Congress. In accordance with authorities provided in Dodd-Frank, the Covered Agreement may supersede state laws after 60 months from its effective date if then existing State insurance measures affected by the Covered Agreement result in less favorable treatment of an EU insurer or reinsurer subject to the Covered Agreement than a U.S. insurer domiciled, licensed, or otherwise admitted in a U.S. State. On September 22, 2017, the U.S. and EU signed the Covered Agreement, the text of which was identical to the text submitted to Congress on January 13, 2017. In addition to signing the Covered Agreement, Treasury and the USTR jointly issued a policy on September 22, 2017 clarifying how the U.S. views implementation of certain provisions of the Covered Agreement. The policy statement addresses key provisions of the Covered Agreement for which constituents sought clarity, including: application of the Covered Agreement’s collateral requirements (the policy statement clarifies that the Covered Agreement shall not be applied to reinsurance agreements, incurred losses, or posted reserves entered into or recognized before the date of the Covered Agreement), group capital assessment (the policy statement affirms that the Covered Agreement does not require development of a group capital standard or group capital requirement in the U.S.), and establishment of a Joint Committee, composed of representatives of the U.S. and EU as a forum for administration and implementation of the Covered Agreement (the policy statement clarifies that because state insurance regulators are largely responsible for implementing the Covered Agreement, the U.S. is committed to the direct involvement of state insurance regulators in the work of the Joint Committee).
Federal Reserve Board. On April 21, 2017, the President signed an Executive Order directing the Secretary of the Treasury to conduct a review of the systemically important financial institutions (“SIFI”) designation process and provide a written report within 180 days of the date of the Executive Order. The Executive Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to consider, among other attributes, whether the designation process is sufficiently transparent, provides entities with adequate due process, is supported by quantified risk assessments, and whether the designated entity is provided an opportunity to reduce identified risks to avoid SIFI designation. The Executive Order also directs the Secretary of the Treasury to evaluate the activities of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) related to its authority to make SIFI designations and determine whether that authority is consistent with the Presidential Executive Order on Core Principles for Regulating the U.S. Financial System. Lastly, the Executive Order temporarily suspends SIFI determinations and designations pending submission and review of the Secretary of the Treasury’s report. The Company has not been designated a SIFI under existing criteria nor does it anticipate a future SIFI designation if the activities and authorities of the FSOC are modified. On September 29, 2017, FSOC announced that in connection with its annual review of SIFI status required by Dodd-Frank, it rescinded the SIFI designation of a large insurance company due to actions taken by the company subsequent to its original designation that reduced the risk it posed to financial stability.
U.S. Treasury Department. On February 3, 2017, the President signed an Executive Order establishing Core Principles for financial regulation. These principles include empowering Americans to make independent financial decisions, save for retirement, and build wealth; preventing taxpayer-funded bailouts; promoting American competitiveness both at home and abroad; and making regulation efficient, effective and appropriately tailored. The Executing Order calls for the Secretary of the Treasury to evaluate the existing U.S. financial regulatory system to determine the extent to which existing regulation promotes the Core Principles

and to identify laws, regulations, and other regulatory actions that inhibit regulation in a manner consistent with the Core Principles. The first in a series of reports examining the U.S. financial regulatory system focused on depository institutions and was released on June 12, 2017. A second report on capital markets was released October 6, 2017. A report that addresses the asset management and insurance industries was released on October 26, 2017. We are assessing the impact on the Company and the industry.
