Allstate Protection pricing and risk management strategies Our pricing and underwriting strategies and decisions are designed to generate sustainable profitable growth.

A proprietary database of underwriting and loss experience enables sophisticated pricing algorithms and methodologies to accurately price risks while seeking to attract and retain customers in multiple risk segments.

For auto insurance, risk evaluation factors can include, but are not limited to: vehicle make, model and year; driver age and marital status; territory; years licensed; loss history; years insured with prior carrier; prior liability limits; prior lapse in

coverage; and insurance scoring utilizing telematics data and other consumer information.

For property insurance, risk evaluation factors can include, but are not limited to: geographic location of the property; loss history; age, condition and construction characteristics of the property; insurance scoring utilizing other consumer information; and the amount of insurance purchased.

The pricing strategy involves local marketplace pricing and underwriting decisions based on risk evaluation factors to the extent permissible by applicable law and an evaluation of competitors.

Pricing of property products is intended to generate risk-adjusted returns that are acceptable over a long-term period. Rate increases are pursued to keep pace with loss cost trends, including losses from catastrophic events and those that are weather-related (such as wind, hail, lightning and freeze not meeting our criteria to be declared a catastrophe). We also take into consideration potential customer disruption, the impact on our ability to market our products, regulatory limitations, our competitive position and profitability.

The Allstate Corporation 5

In any reporting period, loss experience from catastrophic events and weather-related losses may contribute to negative or positive underwriting performance relative to the expectations incorporated into product pricing.

Property catastrophe exposure is managed with the goal of providing shareholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed, managing variability of earnings, while providing protection to our customers. Catastrophe exposure management includes purchasing reinsurance to provide coverage for known exposure to hurricanes, earthquakes and fires following earthquakes, wildfires and other catastrophes.

Our current catastrophe reinsurance program utilizes the Company’s risk and return framework which incorporates our robust economic capital model and is informed by catastrophe risk models including hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires. We monitor risk both in aggregate and by peril, while also evaluating model performance relative to experience and our expectations of catastrophe risk trends. As of December 31, 2024, the modeled 1-in-100 probable maximum loss for hurricane, earthquake and wildfire perils is approximately $3.5 billion, net of reinsurance. We continually review our aggregate risk appetite and the cost and availability of reinsurance to optimize the risk and return profile of this exposure.

The use of different assumptions and updates to industry models and to our risk transfer program could materially change the projected loss. Growth strategies include areas where we believe diversification can be enhanced and an appropriate return can be earned for the risk. As a result, our modeled exposure may increase. In addition, we have exposure to other severe weather events, which impact catastrophe losses.

We are promoting measures to prevent and mitigate losses that are increasing due to climate change and increased severe weather including making homes and communities more resilient, enforcement of stronger building codes, adoption of sensible land use policies, expanded disaster response capabilities and creation of public risk sharing mechanisms.

Commercial lines strategy The commercial lines strategy is focused on growing the National General commercial auto product lines with strategic expansion as the organization shifts from the Allstate brand to the National General brand. The National General commercial auto product is replacing the Allstate Business Insurance product and is sold through exclusive agents and independent agents. The National General brand will continue to expand geographically and increase product lines that were previously sold through the Allstate brand.

In 2024, the commercial insurance strategy was further advanced through an equity investment and commercial partnership with NEXT Insurance, a high-growth, digital platform for small business insurance. This partnership expands the availability of our commercial lines offerings via the NEXT product portfolio, which complements the commercial auto

product offering, across a wider distribution network, and will expand to sell directly to consumers.

In 2023, we began exiting Allstate brand traditional commercial insurance and the run-off is expected to be complete by the end of 2025.

Answer Financial strategy Answer Financial is an insurance agency that sells Allstate and other insurance companies’ products directly to customers. Our strategy as a technology-enabled insurance agency is to provide comparison shopping and related services for consumers, offering choice, convenience and ease of use.
