* Operating income is defined as income before dividends on preferred securities and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, after-tax, excluding the after-tax effects of realized capital gains and losses and gains or losses on disposition of operations. Realized capital gains and losses, after-tax, are presented net of the effects of Allstate Financial’s deferred policy acquisition cost amortization to the extent that such effects resulted from the recognition of realized capital gains and losses. Operating income is provided to allow for a more complete analysis of results. Operating income should not be considered as a substitute for any generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) measure of performance.
