PROGRESSIVE CORP/OH/ Earnings Summary — Q2 FY2026

• Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, fell 31% year-over-year to $779 million, primarily driven by a swing to net realized losses on securities.
• The company's combined ratio deteriorated to 90.0 from 86.6 in the prior year period, indicating narrowed underwriting margins.
• Policies in Force (PIF) showed strong growth across the board, led by a 10% increase in Direct Auto and an 8% increase in Agency Auto.
• Total Personal Lines policies grew by 8% to 38.86 million, while Commercial Lines grew by 3% to 1.23 million.
• Net premiums written increased a modest 3% to $6.77 billion for the quarter, reflecting steady but slowing top-line expansion.
• A one-time favorable 11.7 point impact on the Property combined ratio was recorded due to an actuarial methodology process change.

• Shareholder equity stood at $34.33 billion at quarter-end, with a book value per share of $59.05.

Management did not provide specific quantitative guidance in the release, but scheduled an upcoming investor presentation for August 4, 2026, focused on the 'Robinsons' consumer segment.

Deteriorating

While policy growth remains robust, the significant drop in net income and the rising combined ratio suggest near-term pressure on underwriting profitability and investment sensitivity.

The outlook remains focused on balancing premium growth with underwriting profitability as the combined ratio nears the company's 96 goal. Expansion in the Robinsons segment (multi-product households) appears to be a key strategic priority for the next quarter.
