Allstate Reports 2002 Second Quarter Results

    NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) today reported net income of $344 million
($0.48 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2002 compared to
$168 million ($0.23 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2001.
Operating income was $453 million ($0.64 per diluted share), for the second
quarter of 2002, compared to $230 million ($0.31 per diluted share) for the
second quarter of 2001.  Excluding restructuring charges for the second
quarter of 2002, operating income was $476 million ($0.67 per diluted share)
compared to $233 million ($0.32 per diluted share) for the same period in
2001. Operating income is defined as net income before the after-tax effects
of realized capital gains and losses, gain (loss) on disposition of
operations, dividends on preferred securities of subsidiary trust and the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.
    "We had a very solid quarter and our performance improvement strategies
are working," said Chairman, President and CEO Edward M. Liddy.  "With two
quarters behind us, we now anticipate that operating income per diluted share
for 2002 will be in the range of $2.70 to $2.90 (excluding restructuring
charges and assuming normal catastrophes) -- $.20 higher than the estimate we
issued at the beginning of the year.
    "The rate increases we have taken in our auto and homeowners lines
continue to push premium written growth over prior year levels. We also
continue to see improvements in loss frequencies in the auto and homeowners
lines. Our underwriting strategies in targeted areas are proving successful.
And expense control efforts are also favorably impacting margins.
    "Catastrophe losses in the quarter were $288 million, an amount that is
within the normal experience for a second quarter, and includes the impact of
the early season fires in Colorado and Arizona. In the second quarter of 2001
we experienced  $537 million in catastrophe losses.
    "We saw an encouraging 6.3% growth rate in written premium for the
Allstate brand standard auto line in the quarter over the prior year second
quarter. In this line, the loss ratio for the quarter was 75.4 and we expect
this ratio to improve in the second half of 2002.
    "We strengthened our reserve position by $68 million after tax ($0.10 per
diluted share) for upward development of prior year claims, primarily in the
homeowners line. Texas water and mold claims remain a challenge, playing a
prominent role in our reserve actions this quarter. However, we remain on
track to return the Allstate branded homeowners line to acceptable levels of
profitability by mid-2003.
    "We are making good progress on controlling expenses. Excluding
restructuring charges, our expense ratio for the second quarter of 2002 was
22.4, a 1.2 point decline from the second quarter of 2001 as expenses were
flat with the prior year.
    "Allstate Financial's operating income of $143 million for the second
quarter of 2002 was up 20.2% over the second quarter of 2001 due to increased
investment and mortality margins.  Statutory premium and deposits, including
Allstate Bank deposits, were up 13.2% over the second quarter of 2001.
    "In the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001,
Allstate Financial saw sales of fixed annuities rise 47% while variable
annuity sales were down 22% reflecting a change in investing attitudes among
consumers.  It is clear that there is considerable consumer interest in
products that offer greater stability and guaranteed returns and Allstate
Financial's broad product portfolio has allowed it to capitalize on those
changing consumer attitudes.
    "We continue to be encouraged with the progress that our exclusive agents
are making in helping transform the company to a personal financial services
company. Through the first six months of 2002 our exclusive agents have more
than doubled their sales of Allstate Financial products compared to the same
period in the prior year.
    "Overall, Allstate Financial continues to perform well in the very
difficult market conditions in which we are operating."

    -- The increase in second quarter 2002 consolidated revenues was due to
       increased Property-Liability premiums earned, partially offset by
       higher realized capital losses as compared to the same quarter in the
       prior year.
    -- The consolidated operating income increase in the second quarter of
       2002 when compared to the prior year quarter was due to:
         -- increased Property-Liability premiums earned
         -- lower catastrophe losses
         -- improved auto and homeowners loss frequencies
         -- increased Allstate Financial operating income

       These factors were partly offset by:
         -- increased reserves for prior accident years in Property-Liability
         -- increased restructuring expenses

    -- Restructuring expenses incurred during the second quarter of 2002
       totaled $35 million, or $23 million after-tax and $0.03 per diluted
       share.  Restructuring expenses for the first six months of 2002 totaled
       $55 million, or $36 million after-tax and $0.05 per diluted share.
       These expenses related to the previously announced realignment of the
       company's claim offices, Customer Information Centers and other back-
       office operations.
    -- During the second quarter of 2002, Allstate purchased 4.1 million
       shares of its stock at an average cost per share of $38.61 for an
       overall cost of $156 million. The total cost of shares repurchased
       under its current $500 million repurchase program through June 30, 2002
       is $296 million. The company intends to complete this repurchase
       program by December 31, 2002.

    -- As of January 1, 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible
       Assets."  As required by this statement, the company ceased amortizing
       goodwill in the first quarter of 2002, and completed its adoption of a
       fair value appraisal method for goodwill in the second quarter of 2002.

       Goodwill amortization recognized in the second quarter of 2001 totaled
       $13 million and $26 million for the first six months of 2001.

       The fair value appraisal of goodwill completed in the second quarter of
       2002 resulted in an impairment totaling $331 million after-tax.  The
       impairment relates to goodwill arising from the company's purchases of
       American Heritage Life Investment Corporation ("AHL") in 1999 and
       Pembridge Inc. in 1998 and is a result of adopting the fair value
       appraisal method required by SFAS No. 142.

       As required by SFAS No. 142, the impairment is recorded as the
       cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1,
       2002 and therefore impacts the previously released net income per
       diluted share for the first quarter of 2002 and net income per diluted
       share for the six months ended June 30, 2002, by $0.46.  The previously
       released first quarter 2002 net income per diluted share was $0.60. The
       revised first quarter 2002 net income per diluted share including the
       impact of this impairment is $0.14. This impairment decreased the
       March 31, 2002 book value per diluted share by $0.46. There is no
       impact of this impairment on operating income or net income per diluted
       share for the second quarter of 2002.

                          Total impairment       $ 331

    -- The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 includes a
       negative $9 million after-tax effect related to the adoption of SFAS
       Nos. 133 and 138.  These statements comprise a single, integrated
       accounting framework for derivative instruments and hedging activities,
       including specific methodologies for the valuation of derivative
       securities.

          *Prior year strengthening in 2001 included $90 million for the
           Northridge catastrophe.

          These factors were partially offset by:
          -- improved auto and homeowners frequency
          -- decreased catastrophe losses

          Incurred losses related to mold claims in Texas in the second
          quarter of 2002 were $103 million compared to $25 million in the
          second quarter of 2001. Strengthening of prior year reserves noted
          above that was related to mold losses in Texas totaled $30 million.

    *Statutory premiums and deposits is a measure used by Allstate management
to analyze sales trends.  Statutory premiums and deposits includes premiums on
insurance policies and premiums and deposits on annuities determined in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
insurance regulatory authorities of the states in which the Company's
insurance subsidiaries are domiciled, and all other funds received from
customers on deposit type products which are treated as liabilities, including
the deposits of Allstate Bank.
    -- Factors contributing to the increase in Allstate Financial statutory
       premiums and deposits during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to
       the same quarter in the prior year included:
       -- an increase in the retail sales of fixed annuities
       -- growth in deposits of Allstate Bank

       This increase was partly offset by:
       -- a decrease in variable annuity sales

    -- Factors contributing to the growth in Allstate Financial operating
       income in the second quarter of 2002 when compared to the same quarter
       in the prior year included:
       -- an increase in investment and mortality margins
       -- a change in accounting eliminating the amortization of goodwill
          which totaled $7 million in the second quarter of 2001 and
          $15 million for the first six months of 2001.

    This press release contains forward-looking statements about the
profitability of Allstate's homeowners line of business, our loss ratio for
Allstate standard auto, our operating income for 2002 and rate changes in our
Property-Liability business.  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.  Projected weighted average rate changes in our Property-Liability
business may be lower than projected due to a decrease in the number of
policies in force. Loss costs in our Property-Liability business, including
losses due to catastrophes such as hurricanes and earthquakes, may exceed
management's projections.  Competitive pressures could lead to sales of
Property-Liability products, including private passenger auto and homeowners
insurance, that are lower than projected by management, as we increase prices
and modify our underwriting practices.  Investment income may not meet
management's projections due to poor stock market performance or lower returns
on the fixed income portfolio due to worsening credit conditions. Readers are
encouraged to review the other risk factors facing Allstate that we disclose
in our current, quarterly and annual reports to the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K.  We undertake no obligation to
publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements. This press release
contains unaudited financial information.

    The supplemental operating information included in the tables above allows
for additional analysis of results of operations. The net effects of realized
capital gains and losses have been excluded due to the volatility between
periods and because such data is often excluded when evaluating the overall
financial performance of insurers. After-tax realized capital gains and losses
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 should
not be considered as a substitute for any generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") measure of performance. The method of calculating
operating income may be different from the method used by other companies and
therefore comparability may be limited.
