This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed May 7, 2009.
Standard auto loss ratio for the Allstate brand increased 3.3 points in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008 due to higher loss frequencies and claim severities.  Gross frequencies increased in the physical damage and bodily injury coverages driven in part by winter weather experienced in the eastern part of the U.S. in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008.  Physical damage frequency in the eastern part of the U.S. increased in the first quarter of 2009 while we continued to see a decline in the western states compared to the first quarter of 2008.  Average loss costs or claims severity increased consistent with relevant Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) indices for the bodily injury coverages and were a component of the loss ratio deterioration.  Physical damage coverage severity primarily increased with relevant CPI indices.  Favorable prior year reserve reestimates also partially offset the loss ratio increase.  Standard auto loss ratio for the Encompass brand increased 23.0 points in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008 primarily driven by lower favorable prior year reserve reestimates.

 

This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2008.
Standard auto loss ratio for the Allstate brand increased 0.9 points in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2.1 points during the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007 due to increased catastrophe losses in both periods and reduced prior year reserve reestimates for the nine months of 2008.  Excluding catastrophes, the underlying inflationary increase in severity was largely offset by declines in frequency, in part driven by the slumping economy and higher gas price impact on miles driven.  Standard auto loss ratio for the Encompass brand increased 9.5 points in the three months ended September 30, 2008 due to unfavorable prior year reserve reestimates in 2008 compared to favorable reestimates in 2007 and 1.3 points during the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.

 

This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed Aug 6, 2008.
Standard auto loss ratio increased 3.6 points for the Allstate brand in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2.7 points during the first six months of 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007 due to lower favorable reserve reestimates related to prior years and increased catastrophe losses.  Standard auto loss ratio for the Encompass brand increased 8.6 points in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 due to reserve reestimates that were unfavorable in the current year and favorable in the prior years.  Standard auto loss ratio for the Encompass brand decreased 2.6 points during the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 due to higher favorable reserve reestimates.

Standard auto loss ratio increased 1.9 points for the Allstate brand in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 due to increased catastrophe losses and the absence of favorable prior year reserve reestimates.  Standard auto loss ratio for the Encompass brand decreased 13.7 points in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 due to higher favorable reserve reestimates related to prior years largely attributable to reclassified IBNR from standard auto to other personal lines to be consistent with the recording of excess liability policies’ premiums and losses.
