01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed October 16, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Allstate (NYSE: ALL) filed an 8-K on October 16, 2025 furnishing its September 2025 monthly release under Regulation FD (Item 7.01, Exhibit 99, furnished rather than filed).
The release reports estimated catastrophe losses of $161 milliona pre-tax ($128 million after-tax) for September 2025, driven by eight wind and hail events. Third-quarter 2025 catastrophe losses totaled $558 million pre-tax ($441 million after-tax), which investors will weigh against the company's reserves and full-year loss ratio expectations. Policy count trends were steady.
Total Allstate Protection policies in force reached 38.056 million at September 30, 2025, up 0.1%b from August 31, 2025 and 1.2% year over year. Homeowners grew 2.1% year over year to 7.642 million, auto grew 1.3% to 25.332 million, and other personal lines grew 0.6% to 4.908 million. Commercial lines fell 26.9% year over year to 174 thousand, which suggests a deliberate reduction or runoff in that segment rather than organic growth.
The filing is primarily an informational monthly disclosure with no new financial guidance, earnings results, or material corporate events. Its main signals for investors are the catastrophe loss trend, which is seasonal and tied to weather, and continued modest growth in the core personal lines book.
