Investing.com -- Allstate Corporation (NYSE:ALL) reported lower first quarter earnings compared to the prior year, despite higher revenues, as catastrophe losses weighed on results. The insurance giant’s shares dipped 2.5% following the announcement.
Allstate posted adjusted earnings per share of $3.53 for Q1 2025, down from $5.13 in Q1 2024. Revenue rose 7.8% year-over-year to $16.45 billion from $15.26 billion.
The company’s net income fell to $566 million from $1.19 billion a year earlier, primarily due to record catastrophe losses of $3.3 billion in the quarter. However, this was partially offset by $1.1 billion in reinsurance recoveries.
"Allstate’s strategy, operational excellence and risk management practices generated strong first quarter results, despite unprecedented severe weather," said Tom Wilson, Chair, President and CEO of Allstate.
Property-Liability premiums earned increased 8.7% to $14.03 billion, driven by higher average premiums. However, the segment’s underwriting income declined to $360 million from $898 million last year due to higher catastrophe losses.
The auto insurance business showed improvement, with its combined ratio falling to 91.3 from 96.0 a year ago. Homeowners insurance, however, swung to an underwriting loss of $451 million compared to a $564 million profit last year.
Allstate’s total policies in force grew 6.7% YoY to 210.6 million. The company’s book value per share rose 19.8% to $74.61.
"Closing the sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business on April 1 for $2.0 billion further strengthens capital," Wilson added, highlighting the company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its business portfolio.
