Allstate says new rates to boost annualized written premiums by $1B

“Allstate continued to make progress on our comprehensive plan to improve profitability. Since the beginning of the year, rate increases for Allstate brand auto insurance have resulted in a premium impact of 11.4%, which are expected to raise annualized written premiums by approximately $2.97B, and rate increases for Allstate brand homeowners insurance have resulted in a premium impact of 10.1%, which are expected to raise annualized written premiums by approximately $1.03B. Implemented rate increases and inflation in insured home replacement costs resulted in a 12.6% increase in homeowners insurance average gross written premium in November 2023 compared to the prior year,” said Jess Merten, Chief Financial Officer of The Allstate Corporation. “In addition, we recently received approval from Departments of Insurance in California, New York and New Jersey for Allstate brand auto insurance rate increases of 30.0%, 14.6% and 20.0%, respectively, as we work with the regulators to enable us to offer protection to customers. We expect to implement these rates in December with effective dates through February 2024. The rates are expected to raise annualized written premiums by approximately $1B.”
