Operating income is a measure used by Allstate management, which is not based on generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”), to supplement its evaluation of Net income. Operating income is “Income before dividends on preferred securities and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, after-tax”, excluding the effects of Realized capital gains and losses, after-tax, and Gain (loss) on disposition of operations, after-tax. In this computation Realized capital gains and losses, after-tax is presented net of the effects of Allstate Financial’s deferred policy acquisition cost amortization and additional future policy benefits, to the extent that such effects resulted from the recognition of Realized capital gains and losses. Further information and a reconciliation of Operating income to Net income appear in the Definitions of Non-GAAP and Operating Measures section of Appendix D of the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, beginning on page D-3.


This annual report contains forward-looking statements about Allstate, including statements about its profitability and the impact of Strategic Risk Management. These statements are subject to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on management’s estimates, assumptions and projections. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons. For example, profitability could be affected by loss costs in our Property-Liability business, including losses due to catastrophes such as hurricanes and earthquakes in excess of management’s projections. Also, the number of customers priced through SRM could be less than projected by management if competitive pressures lead to sales of private passenger auto and homeowners insurance that are lower than projected by management. Readers are encouraged to review the other risk factors facing Allstate that we disclose in our annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements.”
