The nation’s largest publicly-held personal lines insurer, Allstate Corp., announced estimated catastrophe losses of $820 million, pre-tax, for the second quarter 2012, which includes $440 million for June. Last July, Allstate reported estimated catastrophe losses for the second quarter 2011 of approximately $2.3 billion, pre-tax.
The catastrophe losses in the second quarter stemmed from 30 events at an actual estimated cost of $960 million, but this was partially offset by favorable re-estimates of prior reported catastrophes. Four events accounted for more than half of the estimated loss for the quarter.
Allstate releases monthly catastrophe losses when a monthly estimate exceeds $150 million.
Other insurers have been reporting their second quarter catastrophe experience as well.
Travelers said after-tax catastrophe losses had fallen to $357 million in the second quarter from $1.09 billion a year earlier
