The company, which says it sells more vehicle insurance through independent agents than any other carrier, reported $1.29 billion in net premiums written, up 13 percent from a year ago. Progressive also saw its net premiums earned rise 9 percent to $1.29 billion.
However, the company reported a combined ratio of 85, two points higher than a year ago. This may have contributed to the company’s lower profit falling by 8 percent to 149.8 million, compared to 162.3 million in January 2004.
