Allstate shareholders’ equity increased in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to net income and unrealized net capital gains, partially offset by dividends to shareholders. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid dividends of $719 million and $88 million related to our common and preferred shares, respectively.

The Senior Notes are redeemable at any time at the applicable redemption price prior to the maturity date. The net proceeds of this issuance were used for general corporate purposes.

Common shareholder dividends On January 2, 2024, April 1, 2024, and July 1, 2024, we paid a common shareholder dividend of $0.89, $0.92 and $0.92, respectively. On July 17, 2024, we declared a common shareholder dividend of $0.92 payable on October 1, 2024.
Financial ratings and strength Our ratings are influenced by many factors including our operating and financial performance, asset quality, liquidity, overall portfolio mix, financial leverage (i.e., debt), exposure to risks such as catastrophes and the current level of
operating leverage. The preferred stock and subordinated debentures are viewed as having a common equity component by certain rating agencies and are given equity credit up to a pre-determined limit in our capital structure as determined by their respective methodologies. These respective methodologies consider the existence of certain terms and features in the instruments such as the noncumulative dividend feature in the preferred stock.
In May 2024, S&P affirmed The Allstate Corporation’s (the “Corporation”) senior debt and short-term issuer ratings of BBB+ and A-2, respectively, and Allstate Insurance Company’s (“AIC”) insurance financial strength rating of A+. The outlook for the ratings is stable.
In August 2024, A.M. Best affirmed the Corporation’s senior debt and short-term issuer ratings of a- and AMB-1, respectively, and AIC’s insurance financial strength rating of A+. The outlook for the ratings is stable.
In October 2024, Moody’s affirmed the Corporation’s senior debt and short-term issuer ratings of A3 and P-2, respectively, and AIC’s insurance financial strength rating of Aa3. The outlook for the ratings is negative.
Liquidity sources and uses We actively manage our financial position and liquidity levels in light of changing market, economic and business conditions. Liquidity is managed at both the entity and enterprise level across the Company and is assessed on both base and stressed level liquidity needs. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet these needs. Additionally, we have existing intercompany agreements in place that facilitate liquidity management across the Company to enhance flexibility.
The Corporation is party to an Amended and Restated Intercompany Liquidity Agreement (“Liquidity Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries, which includes, but is not limited to Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”). The Liquidity Agreement allows for short-term advances of funds to be made between parties for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. The Liquidity Agreement does not establish a commitment to advance funds on the part of any party. AIC serves as a lender and borrower, certain other subsidiaries
Third Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q 73 serve only as borrowers, and the Corporation serves only as a lender. The maximum amount of potential funding under each of these agreements is $1.00 billion.
In addition to the Liquidity Agreement, the Corporation also has an intercompany loan agreement with certain of its subsidiaries, which includes, but is not limited to, AIC. The amount of intercompany loans available to the Corporation’s subsidiaries is at the discretion of the Corporation. The maximum amount of loans the Corporation will have outstanding to all its eligible subsidiaries at any given point in time is limited to $1.00 billion. The Corporation may use commercial paper borrowings, bank lines of credit and securities lending to fund intercompany borrowings.
Parent company capital capacity At the parent holding company level, we have deployable assets totaling $2.95 billion as of September 30, 2024, primarily comprised of cash and short-term, fixed income and equity securities that are generally saleable within one quarter. The earnings capacity of the operating subsidiaries is the primary source of capital generation for the Corporation.
As of September 30, 2024, we held $10.60 billion of cash, U.S. government and agencies fixed income securities, public equity securities, and short-term investments, which we would expect to be able to liquidate within one week.
Intercompany dividends were paid in the first nine months of 2024 between the following companies: American Heritage Life (“AHL”), Allstate Financial Insurance Holdings Corporation (“AFIHC”), the Corporation, North Light Specialty Insurance Company (“NLSIC”) and AIC.
| Intercompany dividends | |
|---|---|
| ($ in millions) | |
| AHL to AFIHC | $130 |
| AFIHC to the Corporation | 130 |
| NLSIC to AIC | 18 |
Based on the greater of 2023 statutory net income or 10% of statutory surplus, the maximum amount of dividends that AIC will be able to pay, without prior Illinois Department of Insurance approval, at a given point in time through February 2025, is estimated at $1.20 billion, less dividends paid during the preceding twelve months measured at that point in time. In the first nine months of 2024, no dividends have been paid.
Dividends may not be paid or declared on our common stock and shares of common stock may not be repurchased unless the full dividends for the latest completed dividend period on our preferred stock have been declared and paid or provided for.
The terms of our outstanding subordinated debentures also prohibit us from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on our common or preferred stock or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring, or making liquidation payments on our common stock or preferred stock if we have elected to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures, subject to certain limited exceptions. In the first nine months of
2024, we did not defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures.
Additional resources to support liquidity are as follows:
The Corporation and AIC have access to a $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for short-term liquidity requirements. The maturity date of this facility is November 2027. The facility is fully subscribed among 11 lenders with the largest commitment being $95 million. The commitments of the lenders are several and no lender is responsible for any other lender’s commitment if such lender fails to make a loan under the facility. This facility contains an increase provision that would allow up to an additional $500 million of borrowing, subject to the lenders’ commitment. This facility has a financial covenant requiring that we not exceed a 37.5% debt to capitalization ratio as defined in the agreement. This ratio was 22.0% as of September 30, 2024. Although the right to borrow under the facility is not subject to a minimum rating requirement, the costs of maintaining the facility and borrowing under it are based on the ratings of our senior unsecured, unguaranteed long-term debt. There were no borrowings under the credit facility during 2024.
To cover short-term cash needs, the Corporation has access to a commercial paper facility with a borrowing capacity limited to any undrawn credit facility balance up to $750 million.
As of September 30, 2024, there were no balances outstanding for the credit facility or the commercial paper facility and therefore the remaining borrowing capacity was $750 million.
The Corporation has access to a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was filed on April 30, 2024 and expires in 2027. We can use this shelf registration to issue an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock (including 635 million shares of treasury stock as of September 30, 2024), preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. The specific terms of any securities we issue under this registration statement will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplements.
