The Allstate Corporation has estimated catastrophe losses for May 2025 of $777 million or $614 million, after-tax.
These losses stemmed from 11 separate events, with roughly 70% attributable to three widespread wind and hailstorms.
By comparison, May 2024 saw catastrophe losses of $1.4 billion, approximately 70% of which resulted from five major wind and hail events, primarily impacting Texas, Colorado, and Illinois.
Including the $594 million in catastrophe losses from April 2025, the combined total for April and May 2025 amounts to $1.37 billion, or $1.08 billion after tax.
In its Q1 2025 results, Allstate reported solid underwriting and disciplined risk management, even in the face of severe weather events.
The company led with robust performance in underwriting, reporting a Property-Liability underlying combined ratio of 83.1%, which was an improvement of 3.8 points over Q1 2024.
However, gross catastrophe losses hit a record $3.3 billion for the insurer in Q1 2025, although $1.1 billion in reinsurance recoveries pushed net cat losses down to $2.2 billion in the quarter, which is still far higher than the $731 million of net cat losses recorded in Q1 2024.
