INTRODUCTION

Portions of the information included in The Progressive Corporation’s Proxy Statement to be filed on or about March 8, 2004, for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 16, 2004 (the “Proxy Statement”) have been incorporated by reference herein and are identified under the appropriate items in this Form 10-K. The Progressive Corporation and subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company”) 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders (the “Annual Report”), which will be attached as an Appendix to the 2004 Proxy Statement, is included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. Cross references to relevant sections of the Annual Report are included under the appropriate items of this Form 10-K.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

          (a) General Development of Business

The Progressive insurance organization began business in 1937. The Progressive Corporation, an insurance holding company formed in 1965, has 68 subsidiaries, 1 mutual insurance company affiliate and 1 reciprocal insurance company affiliate. The Progressive Corporation’s insurance subsidiaries and affiliates provide personal automobile insurance and other specialty property-casualty insurance and related services throughout the United States. The Company’s property-casualty insurance products protect its customers against collision and physical damage to their motor vehicles, uninsured and underinsured bodily injury, and liability to others for personal injury or property damage arising out of the use of those vehicles. The Company’s non-insurance subsidiaries generally support the Company’s insurance and investment operations.

          (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

Incorporated by reference from Note 9, Segment Information, beginning on page App.-B-19 of the Annual Report, which is included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

          (c) Narrative Description of Business

The Company offers a number of personal and commercial property-casualty insurance products primarily related to motor vehicles. Net premiums written were $11.9 billion in 2003, compared to $9.5 billion in 2002 and $7.3 billion in 2001. The underwriting profit was 12.7% in 2003, 7.6% in 2002 and 4.8% in 2001.

Personal Lines

The Company’s Personal Lines segment writes insurance for private passenger automobiles and recreation and other vehicles. This business frequently offers more than one program in a single state, with each targeted to a specific market or customer group. Personal Lines accounted for 88% of total net premiums written in 2003 and 2002 and 89% in 2001. The Company’s strategy is to become the low-cost provider of a full line of auto insurance products and related services, distributed through whichever channel the customer prefers.

Of the approximately 300 United States insurance companies/groups with annual private passenger auto insurance premiums over $5 million annually, the Company ranked third in size for 2002 based on net premiums written, and believes that it held this position for 2003. For 2003, the estimated industry net premiums written, for personal auto insurance in the United States and Canada, were $149.5 billion, and the Company’s share of this market was approximately 7.0%, compared to $139.6 billion and 6.0%, respectively, in 2002, and $127.9 billion and 5.1% in 2001. Except as otherwise noted, all industry data and the Company’s market share or ranking in the industry either were derived directly from data reported by A.M. Best Company Inc. (“A.M. Best”) or were estimated using A.M. Best data as the primary source.

Private passenger automobile insurance is comprised of preferred, standard and nonstandard automobile risks and represents 93% of total Personal Lines net premiums written by the Company. The Company actively participates in the market for each of these risks, with the objective of offering an accurate rate for every risk. Volume potential is driven by the Company’s ability to price competitively, brand recognition and the actions of the Company’s competitors, among other factors. See “Competitive Factors” on page 10 of this report for further discussion.

The Company’s specialty Personal Lines products include insurance for motorcycles, recreation vehicles, mobile homes, watercraft, snowmobiles and similar items. These specialty products represent 7% of the Company’s total Personal Lines net premiums written and are primarily distributed by independent agents. Due to the nature of the products, the Company typically experiences higher losses during the warmer weather months. The Company’s competitors are specialty companies and large multi-line insurance carriers. Although industry figures are not available, based on the Company’s analysis of this market, the Company believes that it is one of the largest participants in the specialty personal lines market. The Company has been the market share leader for personal watercraft insurance since 2002, and has been the market share leader for the motorcycle product since 1998.

The Personal Lines business is generated either by an agent or broker, or written directly by the Company. The Agency channel includes business written by the Company’s network of more than 30,000 independent insurance agencies located throughout the United States, insurance brokers in several states and through strategic alliance business relationships. The independent insurance agents have the authority to bind the Company to specified insurance coverages within prescribed underwriting guidelines, subject to compliance with certain Company-mandated procedures. These guidelines prescribe the kinds and amounts of coverage that may be written and the premium rates that may be charged for specified categories of risk. The agencies and brokers do not have authority on behalf of the Company to settle or adjust claims, establish underwriting guidelines, develop rates or enter into other transactions or commitments. The Agency channel also writes business through alliances with other insurance companies, financial institutions, employers and national brokerage agencies. In 2003, the total net premiums written through the Agency channel represented 69% of the Personal Lines volume, compared to 70% in 2002 and 71% in 2001.

Direct business includes business written through 1-800-PROGRESSIVE, online at progressive.com and on behalf of affinity groups. Net premiums written in the Direct business were 31%, 30% and 29% of the Personal Lines volume in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company currently operates 19 vehicle claim service centers, including 12 new sites which were added during 2003. These sites, which are designed to provide end-to-end resolution for auto physical damage losses, are expected to improve efficiency, increase accuracy, reduce rework, improve repair cycle time and provide greater brand distinction. The Company continues to evaluate the operating performance and cost parameters of these sites to validate their effectiveness.

Auto insurance differs greatly by community because regulations and legal decisions vary by state and because traffic, law enforcement, cultural attitudes, insurance agents, medical services and auto repair services vary by community. The Company’s organization enables it to meet varied local conditions under a cohesive set of policies and procedures designed to provide consistency and control. The Company’s business is organized into business areas: Agency, Direct, Claims, and Sales and Service. The Agency, Direct and Claims business areas are managed at a local level and divided into six regions. Each business has a Group President and a process team, with local managers at the state level. Sales and Service (which includes customer service calls, direct sales calls and claims loss reporting, among other services) is performed at six regional sites in Austin, Texas; Cleveland, Ohio; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Sacramento, California; Tampa, Florida; and Phoenix, Arizona.

The Company’s executive management team sets policy and makes key strategic decisions, and includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Information Officer and Chief Human Resource Officer, as well as the Company’s four Group Presidents (Agency, Direct, Claims, and Sales and Service). The Group Presidents are challenged to develop and manage product offerings and customer service processes tailored to the unique requirements of customers who select Progressive as their auto insurance carrier and buy policies through the distribution mode of their choice.

Commercial Auto

The Commercial Auto business unit writes primary liability, physical damage and other auto-related insurance for automobiles and trucks owned by small businesses and represented 11% of the Company’s total net premiums written in both 2003 and 2002, compared to 9% in 2001. Although the Commercial Auto business differs from Personal Lines auto, both businesses require the same fundamental skills, including disciplined underwriting and pricing, as well as excellent claims service. The Company’s Commercial Auto business is primarily distributed through the independent agency channel. The Company competes for this business on a nationwide basis with approximately 200 other companies/groups (with net premiums written in excess of $5 million annually). The Company’s Commercial Auto Business ranked fourth in market share on a national basis in 2002, based on data reported by A.M. Best, and estimates that it moved into the third position for 2003.

Other Businesses

The Company’s other lines of business include the Professional Liability Group (PLG) and the Motor Carrier business unit. During 2003, the Company disbanded its Lender’s Collateral Protection Group (LCPG), since it ceased writing this business. These groups are organized by customer group, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio and accounted for approximately 1% of total revenue in 2003. The choice of distribution channel is driven by each customer group’s buying preference and service needs. Distribution channels include independent agents, financial institutions, vehicle dealers and Company-employed sales forces. Distribution arrangements are individually negotiated between such intermediaries and the Company and are tailored to the specific needs of the customer group and the nature of the related financial or purchase transactions.

PLG’s principal products are liability insurance for directors and officers and financial institution bonds, the main product of which is employee dishonesty insurance. Its principal customers are community banks. Progressive shares the risk and premium on these coverages with a small mutual reinsurer controlled by its bank customers and various other reinsurance entities. The program is sponsored by the American Bankers Association. The risk on these coverages is also reinsured by various entities. PLG represented less than one-fifth of one percent of the Company’s total 2003 net premiums written.

The Motor Carrier business unit primarily processes business for Commercial Auto Insurance Procedures (CAIP), which are state supervised plans serving the involuntary markets. The Motor Carrier business unit processes CAIP business in 25 states. As a CAIP servicing carrier, this business unit processes over 49% of the premiums in the CAIP market, which is growing in size. The business is written directly by the Company, but reinsured 100% through the CAIP plan; the Company monitors the CAIP plan for solvency. To the extent the Company fails to comply with contractual service standards, the Company would be restricted from ceding business to the CAIP plan. The Company competes with two other providers nationwide.

The Company ceased writing LCPG products during 2003. LCPG primarily provided physical damage insurance and related tracking services to protect the commercial or retail lender’s interest in collateral which was not otherwise insured against these risks. The principal product offered was collateral protection insurance for automobile lenders, which was sold to financial institutions and/or their customers. Commercial banks and finance companies were LCPG’s largest customer group for these services. This business also served savings and loan institutions and credit unions. During 2002, the Company lost some key accounts for these products and this business was unable to meet its profitability target. Management believes that exiting this line of business does not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. LCPG represented less than one-fourth of one percent of the Company’s total 2003 net premiums written.

Risk Factors

The Company’s business involves various risks and uncertainties, certain of which are discussed in this section. This information should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in this report and in the other reports and materials filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as news releases and other information publicly disseminated by the Company from time to time.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial may also adversely affect the Company’s business. If any of the following risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, this could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of the Company’s Common Shares could decline materially.

The Company competes in the automobile insurance and other property-casualty markets, which are highly competitive.

The Company faces vigorous competition from large, well-capitalized national companies and smaller regional insurers. Other large national and international insurance or financial services companies may also enter these markets in the future. Many of these companies may have greater financial, marketing and management resources than the Company. In addition, competitors may offer consumers combinations of auto policies and other insurance products or financial services which the Company does not offer. The Company could be adversely affected by a loss of business to competitors offering similar insurance products at lower prices or offering bundled products or services and by other competitor initiatives.

The Company from time to time undertakes strategic initiatives to maintain and improve its competitive position in auto insurance markets. Based on a culture that encourages innovation, these strategies at times involve significant departures from the Company’s and/or its competitors’ then-current or historical modes of doing business. As such, the Company’s innovations may entail a degree of risk and may not ultimately achieve anticipated business goals. In addition, these initiatives may be subject to challenge by regulators or private litigants and may disrupt the Company’s relationships with certain of its customers and business partners. If the Company is unable successfully to develop, plan and implement its strategic initiatives in these competitive, regulatory and legal environments, its business could be materially adversely affected.

Similarly, the Company undertakes distinctive advertising campaigns and other efforts to improve brand recognition and drive growth. If these campaigns or efforts are unsuccessful or are less effective than those of competitors, the Company’s business could be materially adversely affected.

The highly competitive nature of the markets in which the Company competes could also result in the failure of one or more major competitors. In the event of a failure of a major competitor, the Company could be adversely affected, as the Company and other insurance companies would be required under state-mandated plans to absorb the losses of the failed insurer, and as the Company would be faced with an unexpected surge in new business from the failed insurer’s former policyholders.

The ability of the Company to attract, develop and retain talented employees, managers and executives, and to maintain appropriate staffing levels, is critical to the Company’s success.

In a time of growth, the Company must hire and train new employees, and retain current employees, as necessary to handle the resulting increase in new inquiries, applications, policies, customers and claims. The failure of the Company to meet targeted employment goals could result in the Company having to slow growth in the business units or markets that are affected. In addition, the failure to staff appropriately in the Company’s claims organization could result in decreased quality of claims work, which could also lower the Company’s operating margins.

If growth slows or reverses, the Company would be required to forecast the changing business environments (for multiple business units and in various geographic markets across the country) with reasonable accuracy and adjust its hiring programs and/or employment levels accordingly. In some circumstances, a reduction in force in one or more businesses or markets could be required. If the Company failed to recognize such changing operating environments, or

5


 

was unable to reduce employment levels at the appropriate time, over-staffing could result, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

The Company’s success also depends on its ability to attract, develop and retain talented executives and other key managers. The Company’s loss of certain key officers and employees or the failure to attract and develop talented new executives and managers could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company further believes that its success depends, in large part, on its ability to maintain and improve its staffing models and employee culture that have been developed over the years. The Company’s ability to do so may be impaired as a result of litigation against the Company, legislation or regulations at the state or federal level or other factors in the employment marketplace. In such events, the productivity of certain of the Company’s workers could be adversely affected, which could lead to an erosion of the Company’s operating performance and margins.

The Company and its insurance subsidiaries are subject to a variety of complex federal and state laws and regulations.

The Company’s insurance businesses operate in a highly regulated environment. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by state insurance departments in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, each of which has a unique and complex set of laws and regulations. In addition, certain federal laws impose additional requirements on insurers. The subsidiaries’ ability to comply with these laws and regulations, and to obtain necessary regulatory action in a timely manner, is and will continue to be critical to the Company’s success.

Certain states impose restrictions on or require prior regulatory approval of various actions by regulated insurers, which may adversely affect the insurance subsidiaries’ ability to operate, innovate and obtain necessary rate adjustments in a timely manner. The Company’s compliance efforts are further complicated by changes in laws or regulations applicable to insurance companies (such as, in recent years, legislative and regulatory initiatives concerning the use of nonpublic consumer information and related privacy issues, the use of credit scoring in underwriting and efforts to freeze, set or roll back insurance premium rates). As such, insurance laws and regulations may limit the insurance subsidiaries’ ability to underwrite and price risks accurately, prevent the subsidiaries from obtaining timely rate increases necessary to cover increased costs, and restrict the subsidiaries’ ability to discontinue unprofitable business or exit unprofitable markets. In addition, compliance with insurance-related laws and regulations often will result in increased administrative costs to the Company’s insurance subsidiaries. These results, in turn, may adversely affect the Company’s profitability or its ability or desire to grow its business in the applicable jurisdictions.

The failure to comply with these laws and regulations could also result in actions by regulators, fines and penalties, and in extreme cases, revocation of a subsidiary’s ability to do business in one or more jurisdictions. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries can face individual and class action lawsuits by its insureds and other parties for alleged violations of certain of these laws or regulations.

Moreover, new legislation or regulations may be adopted in the future which could adversely affect the Company’s operations or its ability to write business profitably in one or more states. In addition, from time to time, the United States Congress and certain federal agencies investigate the current condition of the insurance industry to determine whether federal regulation is necessary. The Company is unable to predict whether any such laws will be enacted and how and to what extent such laws and regulations would affect the Company’s businesses.

State insurance regulation may create risk and uncertainties for the Company’s insurance subsidiaries in other ways as well. For further information on these risks and uncertainties, see the “Insurance Regulation” discussion beginning on page 11 of this report.

Lawsuits challenging business practices of the Company, its competitors and other companies are pending and more may be filed in the future.

The Progressive Corporation and/or its subsidiaries are named as defendants in a number of putative class action and other lawsuits challenging various aspects of the subsidiaries’ business operations. These lawsuits include cases alleging damages as a result of the use of after-market parts, total loss evaluation methodology, the use of alternative commissions, the use of credit in underwriting, the alleged “diminution in value” of vehicles which are involved in accidents, the methods used for evaluating and paying certain bodily injury, personal injury protection and medical

6


 

payment claims, policy implementation and renewal procedures, the classification of employees under federal and state wage and hour laws, among other matters. Other litigation may be filed against the Company and/or its subsidiaries in the future concerning these or other business practices. In addition, lawsuits have been filed, and other lawsuits may be filed in the future, against the Company’s competitors and other businesses, and the results of those cases may create additional risks for, and/or impose additional costs and/or limitations on, the subsidiaries’ business operations.

Litigation is unpredictable, and the outcome of these cases is uncertain. Lawsuits against the Company routinely seek significant monetary damages from the Company. Moreover, as courts resolve individual or class action litigation in the insurance arena, a new layer of court-imposed regulation could result in material increases in the Company’s costs of doing business. Except to the extent the Company has established loss reserves with respect to particular cases that are currently pending, the Company is unable to predict the effect, if any, that these pending or future cases may have on the business, operations, profitability or financial condition of the Company. For further information on pending litigation, see Note 11, Litigation, beginning on page App.-B-21 of the Annual Report, which is included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

The Company’s success depends on its ability to underwrite risks accurately and to charge adequate rates to policyholders.

The Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations depend on the Company’s ability to underwrite and set rates accurately for a full spectrum of risks. Rate adequacy is necessary to generate sufficient premium to offset losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses and to earn a profit.

In order to price accurately, the Company must collect and properly analyze a substantial volume of data; develop, test and apply appropriate rating formulae; closely monitor and timely recognize changes in trend; and project both severity and frequency of losses with reasonable accuracy. The Company’s ability to undertake these efforts successfully, and as a result price accurately, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation:

    availability of sufficient reliable data,
 
    incorrect or incomplete analysis of available data,
 
    uncertainties inherent in estimates and assumptions, generally,
 
    selection and application of appropriate rating formulae or other pricing methodologies,
 
    the Company’s ability to innovate with new pricing strategies, and the success of those innovations,
 
    the Company’s ability to predict retention (e.g., policy life expectancy) accurately,
 
    unanticipated court decisions, legislation or regulatory action,
 
    ongoing changes in the Company’s claim settlement practices,
 
    changing driving patterns,
 
    unexpected inflation in the medical sector of the economy, and
 
    unanticipated inflation in auto repair costs, auto parts prices and used car prices.

Such risks may result in the Company’s pricing being based on stale, inadequate or inaccurate data or inappropriate analyses, assumptions or methodologies, and may cause the Company to estimate incorrectly future changes in the frequency or severity of claims. As a result, the Company could underprice risks, which would negatively affect the Company’s margins, or it could overprice risks, which could reduce the Company’s volume and competitiveness. In either event, the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash flow could be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s financial performance may also be materially adversely affected by severe weather conditions or other catastrophic losses.

The Company continues to be exposed to the risk of severe weather conditions and other catastrophes. Catastrophes can be caused by natural events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, earthquakes, hailstorms, severe winter weather and fires, and other events, such as explosions, terrorist attacks, riots, hazardous material releases, utility outages or interruptions of communications facilities. The extent of insured losses from a catastrophe is a function of both the Company’s total insured exposure in the area affected by the event and the nature and severity of the event. In addition, the Company’s business could be further impaired if a significant portion of its business or systems were shut down by, or if the Company was unable to gain access to certain of its facilities as a result of, such an event. Most of the Company’s past catastrophe-related claims have resulted from severe storms. The incidence and severity of

7


 

catastrophes are inherently unpredictable. When they occur with enough severity, the Company’s financial performance, cash flows or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s success depends on its ability to establish accurate loss reserves and to adjust claims accurately.

The Company’s financial statements include loss reserves, which represent the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that the subsidiaries will ultimately pay on claims, and the related costs of adjusting those claims, as of the date of the financial statements. There is inherent uncertainty in the process of establishing property and casualty loss reserves, which arises from a number of factors, including:

    the lack of credible data,
 
    the difficulty in predicting the rate of inflation and the rate and direction of changes in trend in various markets,
 
    changes in medical and auto repair costs,
 
    changes in governing statutes and regulations,
 
    new or changing interpretations of insurance policy provisions by courts,
 
    inconsistent decisions in lawsuits regarding coverage and changing theories of liability,
 
    ongoing changes in the Company’s claim settlement practices,
 
    the accuracy of estimates by the Company of the number or severity of claims that have been incurred but not reported as of the date of the financial statement,
 
    the accuracy and adequacy of actuarial techniques and databases used in estimating loss reserves, and
 
    the accuracy of selected point estimates of total loss and loss adjustment expenses as determined by the Company’s employees for different categories of claims.

As a result of these and other risks and uncertainties, ultimate paid losses and loss adjustment expenses may deviate, perhaps substantially, from point-in-time estimates of such losses and expenses, as reflected in the loss reserves included in the Company’s financial statements. Consequently, ultimate losses paid could materially exceed loss reserves and have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position. Further information on the Company’s loss reserves can be found in the “Liability for Property-Casualty Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” discussion beginning on page 14 of this report, as well as the Company’s Report on Loss Reserving Practices, which was filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on June 27, 2003.

Likewise, the Company must accurately evaluate and pay claims that are made under its policies. Many factors affect the Company’s ability to pay claims accurately, including the training and experience of the Company’s claims representatives, the claims organization’s culture and the effectiveness of its management, the Company’s ability to develop or select and implement appropriate procedures and systems to support its claims functions, and other factors. The Company’s failure to pay claims accurately could result in unanticipated losses to the Company, lead to material litigation, undermine customer goodwill and the Company’s reputation in the marketplace and impair the Company’s brand image and, as a result, materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and liquidity.

The Company’s business depends on the uninterrupted operation of its facilities, systems and business functions, including its information technology and other business systems.

The Company’s business is highly dependent upon its employees’ ability to perform, in an efficient and uninterrupted fashion, necessary business functions, such as Internet support and 24-hour call centers, processing new and renewal business, and processing and paying claims. A shut-down of or inability to access one or more of the Company’s facilities, a power outage, or a failure of one or more of the Company’s information technology, telecommunications or other systems could significantly impair the Company’s ability to perform such functions on a timely basis. In addition, because the Company’s information technology and telecommunications systems interface with and depend on third party systems, the Company could experience service denials if demand for such service exceeds capacity or a third party system fails or experiences an interruption. If sustained or repeated, such a business interruption, systems failure or service denial could result in a deterioration of the Company’s ability to write and process new and renewal business, provide customer service, pay claims in a timely manner or perform other necessary corporate functions. This could result in a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business results and liquidity.

To help maintain functionality and reduce the risk of significant interruptions of its operations, the Company maintains back-up systems or facilities for certain of its principal systems and services; however, these measures may prove to be

8


 

unsuccessful or inadequate against severe, multiple or prolonged service interruptions or against interruptions of systems where no back-up currently exists. In addition, the Company has established emergency management teams comprised of senior managers from various corporate functions who are responsible for responding to business disruptions and other risk events. The emergency management teams’ ability to respond successfully to certain of these events may be limited, depending on the nature of the event, the completeness and effectiveness of the Company’s plans to maintain business continuity upon the occurrence of such an event, and other factors which may be beyond the Company’s control. The Company maintains insurance on its real property and other physical assets, which includes coverage for losses due to business interruptions caused by covered property damage. However, this insurance will not compensate the Company for losses that may occur due to disruptions in service as a result of a computer, data processing or telecommunications systems failure that is unrelated to covered property damage; nor will such business interruption insurance necessarily compensate the Company for all losses resulting from covered events.

A security breach of the Company’s computer systems could also interrupt or damage its operations or harm its reputation. In addition, the Company could be subject to liability if confidential customer information is misappropriated from its computer systems. Despite the implementation of security measures, including hiring an independent firm to perform intrusion vulnerability testing of the Company’s computer systems, these systems may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, computer viruses, programming errors, attacks by third parties or similar disruptive problems. Any well-publicized compromise of security could deter people from entering into transactions that involve transmitting confidential information to the Company’s systems, which could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The performance of the Company’s fixed-income and equity investment portfolios are subject to investment risks.

The Company’s fixed-income portfolio is subject to a number of risks, including:

    Interest rate risk – the risk of changes in the value of fixed-income securities as a result of movements in the underlying market rates of the securities held, which is the most significant risk to the fixed income portfolio,
 
    Credit risk – the risk that the value of instruments held would be impaired due to the deterioration in financial condition of one or more issuers of those instruments,
 
    Concentration risk – the risk that the portfolio could be too heavily concentrated in the securities of one or more issuers or sectors, resulting in a significant decrease in the value of the portfolio in the event of a deterioration of those issuers or their securities, and
 
    Prepayment risk (applicable to certain securities in the portfolio, such as residential mortgage-backed securities) – the risk that, as interests rates change, prepayment expectations of principal of such securities may change, adversely affecting the value of or income from such securities and the portfolio.

The common equity portfolio is managed to track the Russell 1000 index, and is generally subject to the risk of equity market volatility. A substantial decline in the value of the equities that make up the index would likely result in a substantial decline in the value of the Company’s equity portfolio.

In addition, both portfolios are subject to risks inherent in the nation’s and the world’s capital markets. The functioning of those markets, the values of the investments held by the Company and the Company’s ability to liquidate investments on short notice may be adversely affected if those markets are disrupted by national or international events including, without limitation, wars, terrorist attacks, recessions or depressions, a significant change in inflation expectations, a significant devaluation of governmental credit, currencies or financial markets, and other factors or events.

If the fixed-income or equity portfolios, or both, were to be impaired by market, sector or issuer-specific conditions to a substantial degree, the Company’s liquidity, financial position and financial results could be materially adversely affected. Under these circumstances, the Company’s income from these investments could be materially reduced, and write-downs of the value of certain securities could further reduce the Company’s reported earnings and capital levels. A decrease in value of the Company’s investment portfolio could also put the Company’s insurance subsidiaries at risk of failing to satisfy regulatory capital requirements. If the Company was not at that time able to supplement its subsidiaries’ capital from The Progressive Corporation’s other assets or by issuing debt or equity securities on acceptable terms, the Company’s business could be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries may be limited in the amount of dividends that they can pay to the Company, which in turn may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders, repay indebtedness or make capital contributions to subsidiaries or affiliates.

The Progressive Corporation is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Consequently, if the Company's subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends or make other distributions to The Progressive Corporation, or are able to pay only limited amounts, the holding company may be unable to pay dividends to shareholders, make payments on its indebtedness, meet its other obligations, or make capital contributions to or otherwise fund its subsidiaries or affiliates. Each subsidiary’s ability to pay dividends to the holding company may be limited by one or more of the following factors:

State insurance regulatory authorities require insurance companies to maintain specified minimum levels of statutory capital and surplus.
 
Competitive pressures require the Company’s insurance subsidiaries to maintain financial strength ratings.
 
In certain jurisdictions, prior approval must be obtained from state regulatory authorities for the insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to affiliated entities, including the Company.

Further information on state insurance laws and regulations which may limit the ability of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends can be found in Item 5(c), “Subsidiary Dividends,” on page 18 of this report.

The Company does not manage analysts’ or investors’ earnings expectations, and the Company announces its financial results on a monthly basis, which may result in stock price volatility.

The Company believes that shareholder value will be increased in the long run if the Company meets or exceeds certain financial goals and policies established by the Company. The Company does not manage its business to maximize short-term stock performance. The Company does not provide earnings estimates to the market and does not comment on earnings estimates by analysts. As a result, the Company’s reported results for a particular period may vary, perhaps significantly, from investors’ expectations, which could result in significant volatility in the Company’s stock price.

The Company publicly announces its financial results on a monthly basis, in addition to the quarterly and annual public filings required by law. The Company believes that this level of reporting provides more timely disclosure to shareholders and potential investors, enabling them to enhance their understanding of the Company’s performance. Such reports, however, may disclose variation of results that investors might not see in quarterly reports. Consequently, investor reaction to such variation could result in significant volatility in the Company’s stock price.

Similarly, under applicable accounting rules, the Company may be required to record a significant loss or other adjustment to income in a specific monthly or quarterly reporting period in the event of a significant reserve adjustment, catastrophic loss, development(s) in litigation against the Company, other-than-temporary impairment write down of one or more investments, or other extraordinary events. In addition, the change in market value of certain derivative instruments the Company holds may also affect reported income. Such events may make the Company’s reported results appear volatile and could adversely affect the market for the Company’s stock.

Competitive Factors

The automobile insurance and other property-casualty markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. Property-casualty insurers generally compete on the basis of price, consumer recognition, coverages offered, claims handling, financial stability, customer service and geographic coverage. Vigorous competition is provided by large, well-capitalized national companies, some of which have broad distribution networks of employed or captive agents, and by smaller regional insurers. The Company relies heavily on technology and extensive data gathering and analysis to segment markets and price according to risk potential. The Company has remained competitive by closely managing expenses and achieving operating efficiencies, and by refining its risk measurement and price segmentation skills. Superior customer service, claims adjusting and strong brand recognition are also important factors in the Company’s competitive strategy.

State Insurance Licenses

The Company’s insurance subsidiaries operate under licenses issued by various insurance authorities. These licenses may be of perpetual duration or renewable periodically, provided the holder continues to meet applicable regulatory requirements. The licenses govern the kinds of insurance coverages that may be written in the issuing state. Such licenses are normally issued only after the filing of an appropriate application and the satisfaction of prescribed criteria. All licenses that are material to the subsidiaries’ businesses are in good standing.

Insurance Regulation

The insurance subsidiaries are generally subject to regulation and supervision by insurance departments of the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled or licensed to transact business. At least one of the insurance subsidiaries is licensed and subject to regulation in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The nature and extent of such regulation and supervision varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Generally, an insurance company is subject to a higher degree of regulation and supervision in its state of domicile. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries and affiliates are domiciled in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. State insurance departments have broad administrative power relating to licensing insurers and agents, regulating premium rates and policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, prescribing statutory accounting methods and the form and content of statutory financial reports, and regulating the type and amount of investments permitted. Rate regulation varies from “use and file” to prior approval to mandated rates.

Insurance departments are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that insurance companies maintain adequate capital and surplus and comply with a variety of operational standards. Insurance companies are generally required to file detailed annual and other reports with the insurance department of each jurisdiction in which they conduct business. Insurance departments are authorized to make periodic and other examinations of regulated insurers’ financial condition and operations to monitor financial stability of the insurers and to ensure adherence to statutory accounting principles and compliance with state insurance laws and regulations.

Insurance holding company laws enacted in many jurisdictions grant to insurance authorities the power to regulate acquisitions of insurers and certain other transactions and to require periodic disclosure of certain information. These laws impose prior approval requirements for certain transactions between regulated insurers and their affiliates and generally regulate dividend and other distributions, including loans and cash advances, between regulated insurers and their affiliates. See the “Subsidiary Dividends” discussion in Item 5(c) for further information on these dividend limitations.

Under state insolvency and guaranty laws, regulated insurers can be assessed or required to contribute to state guaranty funds to cover policyholder losses resulting from the insolvency of other insurers. Insurers are also required by many states, as a condition of doing business in the state, to provide coverage to certain risks which are not insurable in the voluntary market. These “assigned risk” plans generally specify the types of insurance and the level of coverage which must be offered to such involuntary risks, as well as the allowable premium. Many states also have involuntary market plans which hire a limited number of servicing carriers to provide insurance to involuntary risks. These plans, through assessments, pass underwriting and administrative expenses on to insurers that write voluntary coverages in those states.

Insurance companies are generally required by insurance regulators to maintain sufficient surplus to support their writings. Although the ratio of writings to surplus that the regulators will allow is a function of a number of factors, including the type of business being written, the adequacy of the insurer’s reserves, the quality of the insurer’s assets and the identity of the regulator, the annual net premiums that an insurer may write are generally limited in relation to the insurer’s total policyholders’ surplus. Thus, the amount of an insurer’s surplus may, in certain cases, limit its ability to grow its business. The Company intends to begin a process to slowly increase operating leverage through a higher rate of net premiums to surplus in its agency, direct and commercial insurance subsidiaries where permitted. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners also has developed a risk-based capital (RBC) program to enable regulators to take appropriate and timely regulatory actions relating to insurers that show signs of weak or

11


 

deteriorating financial condition. RBC is a series of dynamic surplus-related formulas which contain a variety of factors that are applied to financial balances based on a degree of certain risks, such as asset, credit and underwriting risks.

Many states have laws and regulations that limit an insurer’s ability to exit a market. For example, certain states limit an automobile insurer’s ability to cancel or non-renew policies. Furthermore, certain states prohibit an insurer from withdrawing one or more lines of business from the state, except pursuant to a plan that is approved by the state insurance department. The state insurance department may disapprove a plan that may lead to market disruption. Laws and regulations that limit the cancellation or non-renewal of policies and that subject program withdrawals to prior approval requirements may restrict an insurer’s ability to exit unprofitable markets.

Regulation of insurance constantly changes as real or perceived issues and developments arise. Some changes may be due to economic developments, such as changes in investment laws made to recognize new investment vehicles; other changes result from such general pressures as consumer resistance to price increases and concerns relating to insurer solvency. In recent years, legislation and voter initiatives have been introduced, and in some cases adopted, which deal with use of non-public consumer information, use of financial responsibility and credit information in underwriting, insurance rate development, rate determination and the ability of insurers to cancel or non-renew insurance policies, reflecting concerns about consumer privacy, coverage, availability, prices and alleged discriminatory pricing. In addition, from time to time, the United States Congress and certain federal agencies investigate the current condition of the insurance industry to determine whether federal regulation is necessary.

In a number of states, the Company’s insurance subsidiaries use financial responsibility or credit information (credit) as part of the underwriting or rating process. This practice is expressly authorized by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Company’s data demonstrates that credit is an effective predictor of insurance risk. The use of credit in underwriting and rating is the subject of significant regulatory and legislative activity. Regulators and legislators have expressed a number of concerns related to the use of credit, including: questions regarding the accuracy of credit reports, perceptions that credit may have a disparate impact on the poor and certain minority groups, the perceived lack of a demonstrated causal relationship between credit and insurance risk, the treatment of persons with limited or no credit, the impact of extraordinary life events (i.e., catastrophic injury or death of a spouse), and concerns about the credit attributes applied in the credit scoring models used by insurers. A number of state insurance departments have issued bulletins, directives or regulations to regulate the use of credit by insurers. In addition, a number of states are considering or have passed legislation to regulate insurers’ use of credit. Also, Congress recently mandated that the federal government conduct a disparate impact study of the use of credit. It is possible that Congress may enact further legislation affecting the use of credit in underwriting and rating following completion of that study.

In some states, the automobile insurance industry has been under pressure in past years from regulators, legislators or special interest groups to reduce, freeze or set rates to or at levels that are not necessarily related to underlying costs, including initiatives to roll back automobile and other personal lines rates. This kind of activity has adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, the profitability and growth of the subsidiaries’ automobile insurance business in those jurisdictions, and may limit the subsidiaries’ ability to increase rates to compensate for increases in costs. Adverse legislative and regulatory activity limiting the subsidiaries’ ability to price automobile insurance adequately, or affecting the subsidiaries’ insurance operations adversely in other ways, may occur in the future. The impact of these regulatory changes on the subsidiaries’ businesses cannot be predicted.

Statutory Accounting Principles

The Company’s results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which differ from amounts reported under statutory accounting principles (SAP) prescribed by insurance regulatory authorities. Primarily, under GAAP:

1.   Commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with writing new and renewal business are capitalized and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period in which the related premiums are earned, rather than expensed as incurred, as required by SAP.
 
2.   Certain assets are included in the consolidated balance sheets, but are charged directly against statutory surplus under SAP. These assets consist primarily of premium receivables that are outstanding over 90 days, federal deferred tax assets in excess of statutory limitations, furniture, equipment, application computer software, leasehold improvements and prepaid expenses.
 
3.   Amounts related to ceded reinsurance, such as prepaid reinsurance premiums and reinsurance recoverables, are shown gross, rather than netted against unearned premium reserves and loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, respectively, as required by SAP.
 
4.   Fixed maturities securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, are reported at current market values, rather than at amortized cost, or the lower of amortized cost or market, depending on the specific type of security, as required by SAP. Equity securities are reported at quoted market values, which may differ from the NAIC market values as required by SAP.
 
5.   The differing treatment of income and expense items results in a corresponding difference in federal income tax expense. Both current and deferred taxes are recognized in the income statement for GAAP, while deferred taxes are posted directly to surplus for SAP.

Investments

The Company employs a conservative approach to investment and capital management intended to ensure that there is sufficient capital to support all of the insurance premium that can be profitably written. The Company’s portfolio is invested primarily in short-term and intermediate-term, investment-grade fixed-income securities. The Company’s investment portfolio, at market value, was $12.5 billion at December 31, 2003, compared to $10.3 billion at December 31, 2002. Investment income is affected by shifts in the type and quality of investments in the portfolio, changes in interest rates and other factors. Investment income, including net realized gains/losses on securities, before expenses and taxes, was $478.0 million in 2003, compared to $376.6 million in 2002 and $301.7 million in 2001. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, beginning on page App.-B-24 of the Annual Report, which is included as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

Employees

The number of employees, excluding temporary employees, at December 31, 2003, was 25,834.

Liability for Property-Casualty Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The consolidated financial statements include the estimated liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries. The Company’s objective is to ensure that total reserves (i.e. case and incurred but not reported reserves-IBNR) are adequate to cover all loss costs, while sustaining minimal variation from the time reserves are initially established until losses are fully developed. The liabilities for losses and LAE are determined using actuarial and statistical procedures and represent undiscounted estimates of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses and LAE incurred through December 31 of each year. These estimates are subject to the effect of future trends on claim settlement. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as experience develops and new information becomes known. Such adjustments, if any, are reflected in the current results of operations.

The accompanying tables present an analysis of property-casualty losses and LAE. The following table provides a reconciliation of beginning and ending estimated liability balances for 2003, 2002 and 2001 on a GAAP basis.

During 2003 and 2001, the Company experienced $56.1 million and $99.0 million, respectively, of favorable loss reserve development, compared to $3.5 million of unfavorable development in 2002. In addition to the favorable claims settlement during 2003, the Company benefited from a change in its estimate of the Company’s future operating losses due to business assigned from the New York Automobile Insurance Plan. During 2002, the Company made no significant change to the estimate of loss reserves recorded in prior years. The favorable development in 2001 is primarily attributable to the settlement of claims at less than amounts reserved and primarily relates to the 2000 accident year. The Company conducts extensive reviews each month on portions of its business to help ensure that the Company is meeting its objective of having reserves that are adequate, with minimal variation.

The anticipated effect of inflation is explicitly considered when estimating liabilities for losses and LAE. In addition, the Company takes into account the projected increase in average severities of claims, which is caused by a number of factors that vary with the individual type of policy written. Future average severities are projected based on historical trends adjusted for anticipated changes in underwriting standards, inflation, policy provisions and general economic trends. These anticipated trends are monitored based on actual development and are modified if necessary.

The Company has not entered into any loss reserve transfers or similar transactions having a material effect on earnings or reserves.

The above table presents the development of balance sheet liabilities for 1993 through 2002. The top line of the table shows the estimated liability for unpaid losses and LAE recorded at the balance sheet date for each of the indicated years for the property-casualty insurance subsidiaries only. This liability represents the estimated amount of losses and LAE for claims that are unpaid at the balance sheet date, including losses that had been incurred but not reported. The table also presents the re-estimated liability for unpaid losses and LAE on a gross basis, with separate disclosure of the re-estimated reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses.

The upper section of the table shows the cumulative amount paid with respect to the previously recorded liability as of the end of each succeeding year. The lower portion of the table shows the re-estimated amount of the previously recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year. The estimate is increased or decreased, as more information about the claims becomes known for individual years. For example, as of December 31, 2003, the companies had paid $922.6 million of the currently estimated $950.9 million of losses and LAE that had been incurred through the end of 1994; thus an estimated $28.3 million of losses incurred through 1994 remain unpaid as of the current financial statement date.

The cumulative development represents the aggregate change in the estimates over all prior years. For example, the 1993 liability has developed conservatively by $224.7 million over ten years. That amount has been reflected in income over the ten years and did not have a significant effect on the income of any one year. The effects on income during the past three years due to changes in estimates of the liabilities for losses and LAE are shown in the reconciliation table on page 14 as the “prior years” contribution to incurred losses and LAE.

In evaluating this information, note that each cumulative development amount includes the effects of all changes in amounts during the current year for prior periods. For example, the amount of the development related to losses settled in 1996, but incurred in 1993, will be included in the cumulative development amount for years 1993, 1994 and 1995. Conditions and trends that have affected development of the liability in the past may not necessarily occur in the future. Accordingly, it generally is not appropriate to extrapolate future development based on this table.

The Company experienced continually favorable reserve development through 1998 primarily due to the decreasing bodily injury severity. From the fourth quarter 1993 continuously through the third quarter 1998, the Company’s bodily injury severity decreased each quarter when compared to the same quarter the prior year. This period of decreasing severity for the Company was not only longer than that experienced by the industry but also longer than any time in Progressive’s history. The adverse development in 2000, primarily for the 1999 accident year, reflects the Company’s inability to fully recognize the increasing loss trends that were emerging. The reserves established as of the end of each year assumed the current accident year’s severity to increase over the prior accident year’s estimate. As the experience continued to be evaluated at later dates, the realization of the decreased severity resulted in favorable reserve development.

During 1994, based on a review of the adequacy of its total loss reserves, the Company eliminated its $71.0 million “supplemental reserve.” Prior to 1994, the Company established case and IBNR reserves by product with the objective of being accurate to within plus or minus two percent. Pricing had been based on these estimates of reserves by product. Because the Company desired a very high degree of comfort that aggregate reserves were adequate, aggregate reserves were established near the upper end of the reasonable range of reserves, and the difference between such aggregate reserves and the midpoint of the reasonable range of case and IBNR reserves was called the “supplemental reserve.” The Company concluded, after examining its historical aggregate reserves, that the practice of setting aggregate reserves at the upper end of the range of reasonable reserves provided an unnecessarily high level of comfort. Even without the high level of comfort provided by the “supplemental reserve,” the Company’s reserves had generally been adequate. The Company believes that this change in the carried level of its reserves placed the Company more in line with the practices of other companies in the industry.

The Analysis of Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses Development table on page 15 is constructed from Schedule P, Part-1, from the Consolidated Annual Statements, as filed with the state insurance departments. This development table differs from the development displayed in Schedule P, Part-2 due to the fact Schedule P, Part-2 excludes adjusting costs and reflects the change in the method of accounting for salvage and subrogation for 1994 and 1993.

The closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on January 31, 2004 was $82.65.

On March 19, 2002, the Board of Directors of The Progressive Corporation approved a 3-for-1 split of the Company’s Common Shares which was effected in the form of a stock dividend. In connection with the transaction, two additional Common Shares were issued on April 22, 2002, for each Common Share held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 1, 2002. The purpose of the stock split was to increase the supply of the Company’s Common Shares and to improve the liquidity of the stock. All of the information presented above has been adjusted for the stock split.

          (b) Holders

There were 4,101 shareholders of record on January 31, 2004.

          (c) Subsidiary Dividends

Statutory policyholders’ surplus was $4.5 billion and $3.4 billion at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2003, $492.7 million of consolidated statutory policyholders’ surplus represented net admitted assets of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries and affiliates that are required to meet minimum statutory surplus requirements in such entities’ states of domicile. The companies may be licensed in states other than their states of domicile, which may have higher minimum statutory surplus requirements. Generally, the net admitted assets of insurance companies that, subject to other applicable insurance laws and regulations, are available for transfer to the parent company cannot include the net admitted assets required to meet the minimum statutory surplus requirements of the states where the companies are licensed. Based on the dividend laws currently in effect, the insurance subsidiaries may pay aggregate dividends of $967.2 million in 2004 without prior approval from regulatory authorities.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS — For the purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash includes only bank demand deposits. The Registrant paid income taxes of $579.0 million in 2003, and $392.0 million and $127.3 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total interest paid was $98.9 million for 2003 and $64.2 million for 2002 and $51.3 million in 2001. Non-cash activity includes the liability for deferred restricted stock compensation, the contribution of restricted stock from the Registrant to its subsidiaries and a $17.3 million stock dividend received from a consolidated subsidiary.

On April 22, 2002, the Registrant effected a 3-for-1 split of its Common Shares, $1.00 par value, in the form of a dividend to shareholders. In connection with this transaction, the Registrant transferred $147.0 million from retained earnings to the Common Share account. All per share and share amounts and stock prices were adjusted to give effect to the split. Treasury shares were not split.

DEBT — Debt at December 31 consisted of:

Debt includes amounts the Registrant has borrowed and contributed to the capital of its insurance subsidiaries or borrowed for other long-term purposes. Market values are obtained from publicly quoted sources. Interest on all debt is payable semiannually and all principal is due at maturity. There are no restrictive financial covenants.

The 6.25% Senior Notes, the 6.375% Senior Notes and the 6 5/8% Senior Notes (collectively, “Senior Notes”) may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time, at the option of the Registrant, subject to a “make whole” provision. All other debt is noncallable.

In May 1990, the Registrant entered into a revolving credit arrangement with National City Bank, which is reviewed by the bank annually. Under this agreement, the Registrant has the right to borrow up to $10.0 million. By selecting from available credit options, the Registrant may elect to pay interest at rates related to the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR), the bank’s base rate or at a money market rate. A commitment fee is payable on any unused portion of the committed amount at the rate of .125% per annum. The Registrant had no borrowings under this arrangement at December 31, 2003 or 2002. This credit line was replaced by a new credit facility with National City Bank on January 27, 2004. The material terms of the new credit facility are the same as those of the prior arrangement, except that the Registrant may elect to pay interest at the prime rate or rates related to the LIBOR.

Aggregate principal payments on debt outstanding at December 31, 2003 are $200.0 for 2004, $0 million for 2005, $100.0 for 2006, $0 million for 2007, $0 in 2008 and $1.2 billion thereafter.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION ("BORROWER"), AN OHIO CORPORATION, whose mailing address is 6300 WILSON MILLS ROAD, MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OH 44143, hereby promises to pay to the order of National City Bank ("BANK"), a national banking association having a banking office at 1900 EAST 9TH STREET, CLEVELAND, OH 44114, Attention: Commercial Loan Division at the address specified on the bills received by Borrower from Bank (or at such other place as Bank may from time to time designate by written notice) in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of TEN MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS or such lesser amount as may appear on this Note, or as may be entered in a loan account on Bank's books and records, or both, together with interest, all as provided below. 1. COMMITMENT. This Note evidences an arrangement (the "SUBJECT COMMITMENT") whereby Borrower may, on the date of this Note and thereafter until (but not including) January 26, 2005 (the "EXPIRATION DATE") or such earlier date upon which the Subject Commitment is terminated or reduced to zero, obtain from Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, such loans (each a "SUBJECT LOAN") as Borrower may from time to time properly request. The amount of the Subject Commitment shall be equal to the face amount of this Note, provided, that Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to permanently reduce the amount of the Subject Commitment to any amount that is an integral multiple of ONE THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000.00) (the "MINIMUM BORROWING AMOUNT") by giving Bank not less than one (1) Banking Day's prior notice (which shall be irrevocable) of the effective date of the reduction, provided, that no reduction in the amount of the Subject Commitment shall be effective if, after giving effect to that reduction, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Subject Loans would exceed the amount of the Subject Commitment as so reduced. Regardless of any fee or other consideration received by Bank, the Subject Commitment may be terminated pursuant to section 10. 2. FEES. Borrower shall pay Bank a commitment fee (a) in arrears on APRIL 1, 2004 and quarterly thereafter and upon the termination of the Subject Commitment or the reduction thereof to zero, (b) based on the average daily difference between the amount of the Subject Commitment and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Subject Loans during the period from the due date of the last such fee (or, if none, the date of this Note) to the due date of the fee in question, and (c) computed at the rate of 0.125% per annum. 1 3. LOAN REQUESTS; DISBURSEMENT. A Subject Loan is properly requested if requested orally or in writing not later than 2:00 p. m., Banking-Office Time, of the Banking Day upon which that Subject Loan is to be made. Each request for a Subject Loan shall of itself constitute, both when made and when honored, a representation and warranty by Borrower to Bank that Borrower is entitled to obtain the requested Subject Loan. Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized to make an appropriate entry on this Note, in a loan account on Bank's books and records, or both, whenever Borrower obtains a Subject Loan. Each such entry shall be prima facie evidence of the data entered, but the making of such an entry shall not be a condition to Borrower's obligation to pay. Bank is hereby directed, absent notice from Borrower to the contrary, to disburse the proceeds of each Subject Loan to Borrower's general checking account with Bank. Bank shall have no duty to follow, nor any liability for, the application of any proceeds of any Subject Loan. 4. CONDITIONS: SUBJECT LOANS. Each Subject Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Minimum Borrowing Amount. Borrower shall not be entitled to obtain any Subject Loan (a) on or after the termination of the Subject Commitment or the reduction thereof to zero, (b) if either at the time of Borrower's request for that loan or when that request is honored there shall exist or would occur any Event of Default, (c) if any representation, warranty, or other statement (other than any expressly made as of a single date) made by any Person (other than Bank) in any Related Writing would, if made either as of the time of Borrower's request for that Subject Loan or as of the time when that request is honored, be untrue or incomplete in any respect, or (d) if after giving effect to that Subject Loan and all others for which requests are then pending, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Subject Loans would exceed the then amount of the Subject Commitment. 5. INTEREST. The unpaid principal balance of each Subject Loan shall at all times bear interest at the Contract Rate, provided, that so long as (a) any principal of any Subject Loan remains unpaid after Bank shall have given Borrower notice of demand for any such principal in accordance with the terms of this Note or after the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to Borrower, or (b) any accrued interest on any Subject Loan remains unpaid after the due date of that interest, then, and in each such case, all unpaid principal of this Note and all overdue interest on that principal shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum above the Prime Rate; provided further, that in no event shall any principal of or interest on any Subject Loan bear interest at any time after the giving of any such notice or the commencement of any such Proceeding, whichever shall first occur, at a lesser rate than the rate applicable thereto immediately after the giving of that notice or the commencement of that Proceeding, as the case may be. The "CONTRACT RATE" shall be a fluctuating rate EQUAL to the PRIME RATE provided, that Borrower shall have the right from time to time to irrevocably elect a fluctuating rate equal to 0.375% per annum plus One Month LIBOR, provided, that in the event One Month LIBOR is unavailable as a result of Bank's good faith determination of the occurrence of one of the events specified in section 6, the "CONTRACT RATE" shall be a fluctuating rate EQUAL to the PRIME RATE. Interest on each Subject Loan shall be payable in arrears on April 1, 2004, and on the first (1st) day of each QUARTER thereafter, at Maturity and on demand thereafter. The One 2 Month LIBOR rate shall be adjusted by Bank, as necessary, at the end of each Banking Day during the term hereof. Bank shall not be required to notify Borrower of any adjustment in the One Month LIBOR rate; however, Borrower may request a quote of the prevailing Contract Rate on any Banking Day. 6. LIBOR UNAVAILABLE. Notwithstanding any provision or inference to the contrary, the Contract Rate shall not be based on One Month LIBOR if Bank shall determine in good faith that (a) any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful for Bank to fund, make, or maintain loans bearing interest based on One Month LIBOR, or (b) circumstances affecting the market selected by Bank for the purpose of funding the Subject Loans make it impracticable for Bank to determine One Month LIBOR. Bank's books and records shall be conclusive (absent obvious error) as to whether Bank shall have determined that the Contract Rate is prohibited from being based on One Month LIBOR. If the Contract Rate is prohibited from being based on One Month LIBOR as a result of the occurrence of one of the events referenced in this section 6, then, and in each such case, notwithstanding any provision or inference to the contrary, the then outstanding principal balance of this Note shall, upon Bank giving Borrower notice of Bank's determination of the occurrence of such an event, bear interest at a Contract Rate based on the Prime Rate as contemplated in section 5. 7. REPAYMENT. Subject to section 10, each Subject Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Expiration Date. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal of the Subject Loans in whole or in part, provided, that each such prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Minimum Borrowing Amount. Each prepayment of a Subject Loan may be made without premium or penalty. If any payment is required to be made on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be due on the next immediately following Banking Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the applicable rate. 8.

EFFECTS OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default (other than the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to Borrower) shall occur, then, and in each such case, notwithstanding any provision or inference to the contrary, Bank shall have the right in its discretion, by giving written notice to Borrower, to (a) immediately terminate the Subject Commitment (if not already terminated or reduced to zero) and (b) declare each Subject Loan (if not already due) to be due, whereupon each Subject Loan shall immediately become due and payable in full. If any Proceeding shall be commenced with respect to Borrower, then, notwithstanding any provision or inference to the contrary, automatically, without presentment, protest, or notice of dishonor, all of which are waived by all makers and all indorsers of this Note, now or hereafter existing, (i) the Subject Commitment shall immediately terminate (if not already terminated or reduced to zero) and (ii) each Subject Loan (if not already due) shall immediately become due and payable in full. 11. LATE CHARGES. If any principal of or interest on any Subject Loan is not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, then, and in each such case, Bank shall have the right to assess a late charge, payable by Borrower on demand, in an amount equal to the greater of twenty dollars ($20.00) or five percent (5%) of the amount not timely paid. 12. NO SETOFF. Borrower hereby waives any and all now existing or hereafter arising rights to recoup or offset any obligation of Borrower under or in connection with this Note or any Related Writing against any claim or right of Borrower against Bank. 13. INDEMNITY: GOVERNMENTAL COSTS. If (a) there shall be enacted any law (including, without limitation, any change in any law or in its interpretation or administration and any request by any governmental authority) relating to any interest rate or any assessment, reserve, or special deposit requirement (except if and to the extent utilized in computation of the Reserve Percentage) against assets held by, deposits in, or loans by Bank or to any tax (other than any tax on Bank's overall net income) and (b) in Bank's sole opinion any such event increases the cost of funding or maintaining any LIBOR Unit or reduces the amount of any payment to be made to Bank in respect thereof, then, and in each such case, upon written notice from Bank to Borrower, Borrower shall pay Bank an amount equal to each such cost increase or reduced payment, as the case may be. In determining any such amount, Bank may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 14. INDEMNITY: CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If (a) at any time any governmental authority shall require National City Corporation, a Delaware corporation, its successors or assigns, or Bank, whether or not the requirement has the force of law, to maintain, as support for the Subject Commitment, capital in a specified minimum amount that either is not required or is greater than that required at the date of this Note, whether the requirement is implemented pursuant to the "risk-based capital guidelines" (published at 12 CFR 3 in respect of "national banking associations", 12 CFR 208 in respect of "state member banks", and 12 CFR 225 in respect of "bank holding companies") or otherwise, and (b) as a result thereof the rate of return on capital of National City Corporation, its successors or 6 assigns, or Bank or both (taking into account their then policies as to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of their capital) shall be directly or indirectly reduced by reason of any new or added capital thereby attributable to the Subject Commitment; then, and in each such case, Borrower shall, on Bank's demand, pay Bank as an additional fee such amounts as will in Bank's reasonable opinion reimburse National City Corporation, its successors and assigns, and Bank for any such reduced rate of return; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such additional fee if, within twenty (20) days after receipt of Bank's demand for such additional fee, Borrower terminates the Subject Commitment and pays all amounts owing under this Note in full. In determining the amount of any such fee, Bank may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Each determination by Bank shall be conclusive absent obvious error. 15. INDEMNITY: ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT. Borrower will reimburse Bank, on Bank's demand from time to time, for any and all fees, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred by Bank in protecting, enforcing, or attempting to protect or enforce its rights under this Note. If any amount (other than any principal of any Subject Loan and any interest and late charges) owing under this Note is not paid when due, then, and in each such case, Borrower shall pay, on Bank's demand, interest on that amount from the due date thereof until paid in full at a fluctuating rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum plus the Prime Rate. 16. WAIVERS; REMEDIES; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Bank may from time to time in its discretion grant waivers and consents in respect of this Note or any other Related Writing or assent to amendments thereof, but no such waiver, consent, or amendment shall be binding upon Bank unless set forth in a writing (which writing shall be narrowly construed) signed by Bank. No course of dealing in respect of, nor any omission or delay in the exercise of, any right, power, or privilege by Bank shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further or other exercise thereof or of any other, as each such right, power, or privilege may be exercised either independently or concurrently with others and as often and in such order as Bank may deem expedient. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Bank's acceptance of one or more late payments or charges nor Bank's acceptance of interest on overdue amounts at the respective rates applicable thereto shall constitute a waiver of any right of Bank. Each right, power, or privilege specified or referred to in this Note is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, powers, and privileges that Bank may otherwise have or acquire by operation of law, by other contract, or otherwise. Bank shall have the right to apply payments in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note with such allocation to the respective parts thereof as Bank in its sole discretion may from time to time deem advisable. 17. OTHER PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Note shall bind Borrower and Borrower's successors and assigns and benefit Bank and its successors and assigns, including each subsequent holder, if any, of this Note, provided, that no Person other than Borrower may obtain Subject Loans; provided further, that neither any such holder of this Note nor any 7 assignee of any Subject Loan, whether in whole or in part, shall thereby become obligated to grant Borrower any Subject Loan. Except for Borrower and Bank and their respective successors and assigns, there are no intended beneficiaries of this Note or the Subject Commitment. The provisions of sections 11 through 21, both inclusive, shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on this Note. The captions to the sections and subsections of this Note are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions thereof. Each reference to a section includes a reference to all subsections thereof (i.e., those having the same character or characters to the left of the decimal point) except where the context clearly does not so permit. If any provision in this Note shall be or become illegal or unenforceable in any case, then that provision shall be deemed modified in that case so as to be legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law while most nearly preserving its original intent, and in any case the illegality or unenforceability of that provision shall affect neither that provision in any other case nor any other provision. All fees, interest, and premiums for any given period shall accrue on the first day thereof but not on the last day thereof (unless the last day is the first day) and in each case shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the period. In no event shall interest accrue at a higher rate than the maximum rate, if any, permitted by law. Bank shall have the right to furnish to its Affiliates information concerning the business, financial condition, and property of Borrower, the amount of the Bank Debt of Borrower, and the terms, conditions, and other provisions applicable to the respective parts thereof. This Note shall be governed by the law (excluding conflict of laws rules) of the State of Ohio. 18. INTEGRATION. This Note and, to the extent consistent with this Note, the other Related Writings, set forth the entire agreement of Borrower and Bank as to the subject matter of this Note, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any agreement or statement unless made in a writing (which writing shall be narrowly construed) signed by Bank contemporaneously with or after the execution and delivery of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby acknowledges that Bank has not based, conditioned, or offered to base or condition the credit hereby evidenced or any charges, fees, interest rates, or premiums applicable thereto upon Borrower's agreement to obtain any other credit, property, or service other than any loan, discount, deposit, or trust service from Bank. In the event and to the extent of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any exhibit, schedule, addendum, allonge, modification, or amendment hereto, the terms of such exhibit, schedule, addendum, allonge, modification or amendment shall control. 19. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS. Each notice, demand, or other communication, whether or not received, shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower on the fourth (4th) Banking Day after Bank shall have mailed a writing to that effect by certified or registered mail to Borrower at Borrower's mailing address (or any other address of which Borrower shall have given Bank notice after the execution and delivery of this Note); however, no other method of giving actual notice to Borrower is hereby precluded. Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts Borrower's appointment as each Obligor's agent for the purpose of receiving any notice, demand, or other communication to be given by 8 Bank to each such Obligor pursuant to any Related Writing. Each communication to be given to Bank shall be in writing unless this Note expressly permits that communication to be made orally, and in any case shall be given to Bank at Bank's banking office (or any other address of which Bank shall have given notice to Borrower after the execution and delivery this Note). Borrower hereby assumes all risk arising out of or in connection with each oral communication given by Borrower and each communication given or attempted by Borrower in contravention of this section. Bank shall be entitled to rely on each communication believed in good faith by Bank to be genuine. 20. JURISDICTION AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Any action, claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, proceeding, or suit, whether at law or in equity, whether sounding in tort, contract, or otherwise at any time arising under or in connection with this Note or any other Related Writing, the administration, enforcement, or negotiation of this Note or any other Related Writing, or the performance of any obligation in respect of this Note or any other Related Writing (each such action, claim, counterclaim, crossclaim, proceeding, or suit, an "ACTION") may be brought in any federal or state court located in northeastern Ohio. Borrower hereby unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of any such court with respect to each such Action and hereby waives any objection Borrower may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Action brought in any such court. BORROWER HEREBY, AND EACH HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY TAKING POSSESSION THEREOF, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES JURY TRIAL IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION.

THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION [CORPORATE SEAL] By:_________________________________ W. Thomas Forrester Treasurer Attest:_____________________________ David M. Schneider Secretary Dated: _____________________ TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Securities, of the series designated herein, referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY AS TRUSTEE By:_________________________________ Authorized Signatory 2 (BACK OF SECURITY) THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION 6-5/8% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2029 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the "Securities") of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 15, 1993, as heretofore supplemented and amended (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 6-5/8% Senior Notes Due 2029 of the Issuer, limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000. In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the 6-5/8% Senior Notes Due 2029 shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or impair or affect the rights of any Holder to institute suit for the payment thereof, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of such series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences. The preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any Note which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Note. 3 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 at the office or agency of the Issuer at the office of the Trustee in Boston, Massachusetts, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations. The Notes of the series designated as the 6-5/8% Senior Notes due 2029 are subject to redemption upon not more than 60 or less than 30 days' notice by mail, at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer on any date (a "Redemption Date"), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) a "Make Whole Amount," calculated as described below, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date; provided that installments of interest on Notes which are due and payable on an interest payment date falling on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record date, according to the terms and the provisions of the Indenture. The "Make Whole Amount" means an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest that would be due on the Note being redeemed after the relevant Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is not a scheduled interest payment date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on such Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such Note to such Redemption Date. "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent 4 investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Issuer. "Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Trustee for such Redemption Date. "Reference Treasury Dealer" means: (i) Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and its successor; provided, however, that if the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Issuer will substitute therefore another nationally-recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other two Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Issuer. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Issuer at the office of the Trustee in Boston, Massachusetts, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof. Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. 5 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned hereby sell(s), assign(s) and transfer(s) unto PLEASE INSERT SOCIAL SECURITY OR OTHER IDENTIFYING NUMBER OF ASSIGNEE (PLEASE PRINT OR TYPEWRITE NAME AND ADDRESS INCLUDING POSTAL ZIP CODE OF ASSIGNEE) the within Note and all rights thereunder, hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing attorney to transfer said Note on the books of the Issuer, with full power of substitution in the premises.

The Progressive Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively "Progressive" or the "Company") have adopted The Progressive Corporation 2004 Gainsharing Plan (the "Plan") as part of their overall compensation program. The Plan is performance-based and is administered under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The Progressive Corporation (the "Committee"). 2. Plan participants for each Plan year shall be selected by the Committee from those officers and regular employees of Progressive who are assigned primarily to the Core Business (as defined below), another operating business unit or a corporate support function. The gainsharing opportunity, if any, for those executive officers who participate in The Progressive Corporation 2004 Executive Bonus Plan ("Executive Plan") will be provided by and be a component of that plan, although participants in the Executive Plan may also participate in this Plan if and to the extent determined by the Committee. Plan years will coincide with Progressive's fiscal years. 3. Annual Gainsharing Payments under the Plan will be determined by application of the following formula: Annual Gainsharing Payment = Paid Earnings x Target Percentage x Performance Factor 4. Paid Earnings for any Plan year means the following items paid to a participant during the Plan year: (a) regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday, funeral and overtime pay, and (b) retroactive payments of any of the foregoing items relating to the same Plan year. For purposes of the Plan, Paid Earnings shall not include any short-term or long-term disability payments made to the participant, the earnings replacement component of any worker's compensation award, any lump sum merit award, payments from the merit cash pool or any other bonus or incentive compensation awards and unused Earned Time Benefit. 1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sum of the regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday and funeral pay received by a participant for a Plan year exceeds his/her salary range maximum for the Plan year (determined on an individual pay period basis as of the end of the 24th pay period), then his/her Paid Earnings for that Plan year shall equal his/her salary range maximum, plus any of the following items received by such participant for that Plan year: (a) overtime pay, and (b) retroactive payments of regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday, overtime and funeral pay relating to that Plan year. 5. Target Percentages vary by position. Target Percentages for Plan participants typically are as follows:
POSITION TARGET % - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Senior Executives, Executive Level Managers and Business Leaders 60-135% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Directors of Large Functional Areas 45-60% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Senior Managers 35-45% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Middle Managers 15-35% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Senior Professionals and Entry Level Managers 9-15% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrative Support and Entry Level Professionals 0-8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Target Percentages will be established within the above ranges by, and may be changed with the approval of the following officers of The Progressive Corporation (collectively, the "Designated Executives"): (a) the Chief Executive Officer, and (b) either the Chief Human Resource Officer or the Chief Financial Officer. Target Percentages also may be changed from year to year by the Designated Executives. 6. The Performance Factor A. General 2 The Performance Factor shall consist of one or more Profitability and Growth Components, as described below ("Performance Components"). The Performance Components may be weighted to reflect the nature of the individual participant's assigned responsibilities. The weighting factors may differ among participants and will be determined, and may be changed from year to year, by or under the direction of the Committee. B. Profitability and Growth Components The Profitability and Growth Components measure the overall operating performance of Progressive's Core Business (including the Agency Business Segment, the Direct Business Segment and the Commercial Auto Business Segment, but excluding Midland Financial Group, Inc.), or a designated Business Segment or Sub-Unit thereof, for the Plan year for which an Annual Gainsharing Payment is to be made. For purposes of computing a Performance Score for these Components, operating performance results are measured by one or more Performance Matrices, as established by or under the direction of the Committee for the Plan year, which assign a Performance Score to various combinations of profitability and growth outcomes. Except as provided below, under the Performance Matrices, profitability is measured by the GAAP Combined Ratio and growth is based on the year-to-year change in Net Earned Premiums. For 2004, and for each Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the Committee, separate Performance Scores will be determined, and separate Gainsharing Matrices will be used, for the Agency Business Segment, the Direct Business Segment and the Commercial Auto Business Segment. For purposes hereof, the Agency Business Segment includes Agency Auto (including Strategic Alliances Agency Auto) and Agency Special Lines. The Direct Business Segment includes Auto Pro (including Strategic Alliances Direct Auto), Internet and Direct Special Lines. For purposes of this Plan, the Midland Financial Group, Inc.'s results are excluded from the Agency, Direct and Commercial Auto Business Segments and, thus, from Core Business results. Net operating gains/losses from other Core products, if any, will be apportioned among the Agency, Direct and Commercial Auto Business Segments in accordance with the respective amount(s) of Net Earned Premiums generated by such products in each such Business Segment and the apportioned gains/losses will be included in the calculation of the Combined Ratio. 3 The GAAP Combined Ratio will be separately determined for each of the Agency Business Segment, the Direct Business Segment and the Commercial Auto Business Segment, and for any designated Sub-Unit thereof (e.g., in the Agency Business Segment, performance may also be separately measured for each geographic region). The GAAP Combined Ratio of each such Business Segment or Sub-Unit will then be matched with growth in Net Earned Premiums for such Business Segment or Sub-Unit, using the applicable Gainsharing Matrix, to determine a Performance Score ("Standard Performance Computation"). For 2004 and for each Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the Committee, a portion of the Annual Gainsharing Payment earned by members of the Direct Business Leadership Group (as defined below) will be determined by measuring operating results achieved by the Direct Business Segment in terms of certain modified profitability and growth criteria (as described below) and by comparing the results against pre-established targets that are set forth in a performance matrix approved by the Committee ("Modified Performance Computation"). The Modified Performance Computation will apply only to members of the Direct Business Leadership Group and only as and to the extent set forth below. The Direct Business Leadership Group includes the Direct Business Leader, the IT Director for the Direct Business Segment and all other employees assigned primarily to the Direct Business Segment who are eligible to participate in the Company's equity incentive plans. For purposes of the Modified Performance Computation: (a) profitability is measured by the variance between (i) the GAAP Combined Ratio for premium earned during the Plan year with respect to new private passenger auto policies written by the Direct Business Segment, and (ii) a target Combined Ratio, which is adjusted quarterly to reflect the then current pricing targets established and business mix (i.e. the percentage of new business earned in each risk tier) for that product; and (b) growth is measured by the year-to-year change in Lifetime Earned Premium (as defined below) for private passenger auto business written by the Direct Business Segment. Lifetime Earned Premium is the amount of earned premium that the 4 Company expects to generate over time with respect to policies written during a given Plan year or the previous calendar year, as applicable (including any subsequent renewals thereof), which is determined by a combination of historical experience and statistical analysis. C. Component Weighting For most participants, the Performance Factor will be determined solely by the performance results for the Core Business, consisting of the Agency, Direct and Commercial Auto Business Segments. The Performance Score for each such Business Segment will be separately determined, as described above, by application of the Standard Performance Computation and the appropriate Gainsharing Matrix. The resulting Performance Scores for each of the Agency, Direct and Commercial Auto Business Segments will then be multiplied by a weighting factor (based on the percentage of Net Earned Premiums generated by each such Business Segment during the Plan year), the weighted Performance Scores will be combined and the sum of the weighted Performance Scores will be the Performance Score for the Core Business. As noted above, for most participants, the Performance Factor will be the Performance Score for the Core Business. For certain employees designated by or under the direction of the Committee, however, the Performance Factor will be based on the Performance Scores for both the Core Business, as a whole, and their assigned Business Segment. Generally, for these employees, the Performance Factor will be based 50% on the Core Business Performance Score and 50% on their assigned Business Segment's Performance Score. However, for those employees assigned principally to the Agency Business Segment who are designated by or under the direction of the Committee, the Performance Factor will be based 50% on the Core Business Performance Score, 25% on the Agency Business Segment Performance Score and 25% on the Performance Score for his or her assigned Sub-Unit of the Agency Business Segment. With respect to each of the IT Business Leaders selected by the Designated Executives, the Performance Factor will be based on both the Core Business Performance Score and the Business Segment Performance Score of his or her assigned Business Segment, in such ratio or otherwise weighted as shall be determined by or under the direction of the Committee. 5 Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, for members of the Direct Business Leadership Group, the Performance Factor will be based 50% on the Core Business Performance Score, 25% on the Direct Business Performance Score (Standard Performance Computation) and 25% on the Direct Business Performance Score (Modified Performance Computation). The Performance Score for each Performance Component will be multiplied by the assigned weighting factor to produce a Weighted Performance Score. The sum of the Weighted Performance Scores equals the Performance Factor. The final Performance Factor can vary from 0 to 2.0, based on actual performance versus the pre-established objectives. The Performance Factor cannot exceed 2.0, regardless of results. 7. Subject to Paragraph 8 below, no later than December 31 of each Plan year, each participant will receive an initial payment in respect of his or her Annual Gainsharing Payment for that Plan year equal to 75% of an amount calculated on the basis of Paid Earnings for the first 24 pay periods of the Plan year, estimated earnings for the remainder of the Plan year, performance data through the first 11 months of the Plan year (estimated, if necessary) and forecasted operating results for the remainder of the Plan year. No later than February 15 of the following year, each participant will receive the balance of his or her Annual Gainsharing Payment, if any, for such Plan year, based on his or her Paid Earnings and performance data for the entire Plan year. Any Plan participant who is then eligible to participate in The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferral Plan") may elect to defer all or a portion of the Annual Gainsharing Payment otherwise payable to him/her under this Plan, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Plan. 8. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and except as expressly provided herein, in order to be entitled to receive an Annual Gainsharing Payment for any Plan year, the participant must be assigned to the Core Business or a participating business unit or support function, and be an active employee of the Company, on November 30 of the Plan year ("Qualification Date"). Individuals who are hired on or after December 1 of any Plan year are not entitled to an Annual Gainsharing Payment for that Plan year. 6 Any participant who is on a leave of absence covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, personal leave of absence with the approval of the Company, military leave or short or long-term disability on the Qualification Date with respect to any Plan year will be entitled to receive an Annual Gainsharing Payment for such Plan year, calculated as provided in Paragraphs 3 through 6 above and based on the amount of Paid Earnings received by such participant during the Plan year. Annual Gainsharing will be net of any legally required deductions for federal, state and local taxes and other items. 9. The right to any Annual Gainsharing Payment hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned or encumbered by any participant. Nothing herein shall prevent any participant's interest hereunder from being subject to involuntary attachment, levy or other legal process. 10. The Plan shall be administered by or under the direction of the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, amend, revise and repeal such rules, guidelines, procedures and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion, deem advisable. The Committee shall have full authority to determine the manner in which the Plan will operate, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to make all determinations hereunder. All such interpretations and determinations shall be final and binding on Progressive, all Plan participants and all other parties. No such interpretation or determination shall be relied on as a precedent for any similar action or decision. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all of the authority of the Committee hereunder (including, without limitation, the authority to administer the Plan, select the persons entitled to participate herein, interpret the provisions thereof, waive any of the requirements specified herein and make determinations hereunder and to select, establish, change or modify Performance Components and their respective weighting factors, performance targets and Target Percentages) may be exercised by the Designated Executives. In the event of a dispute or conflict, the determination of the Committee will govern. 11. The Plan may be terminated, amended or revised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 7 12. The Plan will be unfunded and all payments due under the Plan shall be made from Progressive's general assets. 13. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any person the right to remain a participant in the Plan or to remain employed by Progressive, nor shall the Plan limit Progressive's right to discipline or discharge any of its officers or employees or change any of their job titles, duties or compensation. 14. Progressive shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out of any Annual Gainsharing Payment or other sums owed to any participant under the Plan any amounts owed by such participant to Progressive. 15. This Plan supersedes all prior plans, agreements, understandings and arrangements regarding bonuses or other cash incentive compensation payable to participants by or due from Progressive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Plan supersedes and replaces The Progressive Corporation 2003 Gainsharing Plan (the "Prior Plan"), which is and shall be deemed to be terminated as of December 27, 2003 (the "Termination Date"); provided, that any bonuses or other sums earned and payable under the Prior Plan with respect to any Plan year ended on or prior to the Termination Date shall be unaffected by such termination and shall be paid to the appropriate participants when and as provided thereunder. 16. This Plan is adopted, and is to be effective, as of December 28, 2003, which is the commencement of Progressive's 2004 Plan year. This Plan shall be effective for the 2004 Plan year (which coincides with Progressive's 2004 fiscal year) and for each Plan year thereafter unless and until terminated by the Committee. 17. This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 8
EX-10.H 7 l05942aexv10wh.txt EX-10(H) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN Exhibit No. 10(H) 2004 PROGRESSIVE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN 1. The Progressive Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively "Progressive" or "Company") have adopted the 2004 Progressive Capital Management Bonus Plan ("Plan") as part of their compensation program for investment professionals. The Plan is performance-based and is administered under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The Progressive Corporation ("Committee"). 2. Progressive employees who are assigned primarily to the Company's capital management function are eligible to be selected for participation in the Plan. Eligible employees may be selected by the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") to participate in the Plan for one or more Plan years. Participants may also participate in other gainsharing, bonus or incentive compensation plans maintained by Progressive, if so determined in the discretion of the CEO. Plan years shall coincide with Progressive's fiscal years. For 2004, and each Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the CEO, the following individuals will be entitled to participate in the Plan: William Cody, Steve Anderson, Evelyn Erb, David Benson, Anthony Grandolfo, Eleanora Crosby, Nhu Nguyen, Dominic Visco and Sandy Richards. Other eligible employees of the Company may be selected for participation in the Plan for or at any time during a Plan year by the CEO. 3. The Plan offers participants the opportunity to earn bonus compensation through two (2) separate components: the Portfolio Performance Component and the Discretionary Bonus Pool Component, as described in Sections 4 and 5 below ("Bonus Components"). The term "Annual Bonus," as used herein, shall mean the aggregate of all bonuses earned by or awarded to a participant under the two (2) Bonus Components. 4. The Portfolio Performance Component A. The amount of the Portfolio Performance Bonus earned by any participant under the Plan for any Plan year will be determined by application of the following formula: Portfolio Performance Bonus = Paid Earnings x Target Percentage x Portfolio Performance Factor B. For purposes of the Plan, "Paid Earnings" shall include (a) regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday and funeral pay received by the participant during the Plan year for work or services performed 1 by the participant as an officer or employee of Progressive, and (b) retroactive payments of any of the foregoing relating to the same Plan year. 2 For purposes of the Plan, Paid Earnings shall not include any (a) short-term or long-term disability payments, (b) lump sum merit awards, (c) payments from the merit cash pool, (d) discretionary or other bonus or incentive payments, (e) the earnings replacement component of any worker's compensation award or (f) any unused Earned Time Benefit. If additional participants are added during the course of a given Plan year, their Portfolio Performance Bonus will be based on the portion of their salary earned during the part of the Plan year during which they participated in the Plan. C. The Target Percentages for participants in the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but will not exceed 125% for any participant. Target Percentages may vary among Plan participants and may be changed from year to year by the Committee. For 2004, and each Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the Committee, the Target Percentages for the Plan participants shall be as follows:
Name Target Percentages ---- ------------------ William Cody 100% Steve Anderson 100% Evelyn Erb 100% David Benson 100% Anthony Grandolfo 100% Eleanora Crosby 18.75% Nhu Nguyen 11.25% Dominic Visco 11.25% Sandy Richards 6.0%
D. Portfolio Performance Factor The Portfolio Performance Factor is determined by comparing the actual performance of designated segments of Progressive's investment portfolio ("Portfolio Segments") against specified external benchmarks, which shall be risk-adjusted as provided herein ("Investment Benchmarks"). The applicable Portfolio Segments, the weighting of the applicable Portfolio Segments for any participant, the related Investment Benchmarks and the funds, collection of funds or indexes which comprise the Investment Benchmarks will be designated, and may be changed from year to year, by the Committee. 3 The Portfolio Performance Factor is based on Plan year performance of each designated Portfolio Segment of Progressive's investment portfolio. Investment results are marked to market in order to calculate total return, which is then compared against the designated risk-adjusted Investment Benchmark to produce a Performance Score for the applicable Portfolio Segment. For 2004, and for each Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the Committee, for purposes of the Plan, performance shall be measured on the basis of a single Portfolio Segment: the fixed income portfolio ("Fixed Income Portfolio"). Fixed Income Portfolio. At the conclusion of a Plan year, the investment funds which comprise the selected Investment Benchmark for the Fixed Income Portfolio will be risk-adjusted through application of the Modigliani formula for measuring risk-adjusted performance ("Modigliani Formula") in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit I hereto, and ranked according to their respective risk-adjusted returns for the Plan year. In applying the Modigliani Formula to the Investment Benchmark for the Fixed Income Portfolio, risk-adjusted returns are calculated using the standard deviation of three years of quarterly returns (i.e. 12 data points). The investment performance achieved by the Fixed Income Portfolio for the Plan year will then be compared against the risk-adjusted performance of the several investments which comprise the applicable Investment Benchmark to determine the decile in which such Portfolio's performance falls ("Decile Ranking"). The Performance Score of the Fixed Income Portfolio is determined by its Decile Ranking for the Plan year, as follows:
DECILE PERFORMANCE RANKING SCORE - ------------------------------- 1st 2.00 - ------------------------------- 2nd 1.78 - ------------------------------- 3rd 1.56 - ------------------------------- 4th 1.33 - ------------------------------- 5th 1.11 - ------------------------------- 6th .89 - ------------------------------- 7th .67
4 - ------------------------------- 8th .44 - ------------------------------- 9th .22 - ------------------------------- 10th 0 - -------------------------------
Performance of the Fixed Income Portfolio shall be measured by any one, or a combination of any two or more, of the following benchmarks, or such other benchmark or benchmarks, as shall be designated by the Committee, which will be risk-adjusted as described above: Rogers Casey Intermediate Fixed Income Funds Rogers Casey Limited Duration Fixed Income Funds Lehman Intermediate Corp./Gov. Index The applicable Investment Benchmark(s), or combination thereof, will be selected, and may be changed on an annual or quarterly basis, by or with the approval of the Committee. For 2004, and for all subsequent Plan years until otherwise determined by the Committee, the performance of the Fixed Income Portfolio will be measured by the Rogers Casey Intermediate Fixed Income Funds benchmark. In the event that different Investment Benchmarks are applicable to different quarterly periods within a given Plan year, the quarterly performance results will be combined and the arithmetic mean of such results will equal the Performance Score for the Plan year. The Portfolio Performance Factor for any participant can vary from 0 to 2.0, based on actual performance versus the pre-established Benchmarks. 5. Discretionary Bonus Pool Component A. A pool of bonus money will be objectively determined and made available to the CEO to distribute among designated participants at his or her sole discretion, subject to approval by either the Chief Human Resource Officer or Chief Financial Officer. The CEO shall designate the individuals, if any, who are eligible to participate in the Discretionary Bonus Pool Component for a given Plan year. For 2004, and each 5 Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the CEO, the eligible participants for the Discretionary Bonus Pool Component are Steve Anderson, Evelyn Erb, David Benson and Anthony Grandolfo. The CEO is not obligated to disburse all of the funds in the bonus pool, and may not disburse more than the value of the pool. Undisbursed funds will not be carried over to future years. B. The Discretionary Bonus Pool is based on the Fixed Income Portfolio performance and is calculated by adding the product of each participant's Paid Earnings multiplied by the target percentage designated by the CEO for the purpose of determining the amount of the Discretionary Bonus Pool (not to exceed 20%), multiplied by the performance score of the Fixed Income Portfolio, which can range from 0 to 2. The Discretionary Bonus Pool will be calculated using the amount of salary actually paid to eligible participants during the course of the Plan year. 6. After the end of each Plan year, and after the investment results and Benchmark data for such Plan year have become available, the bonuses earned by each participant pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Plan will be calculated and then aggregated to determine the Annual Bonus earned by each participant in the Plan. Subject to the following paragraph and Paragraph 7 below, the Annual Bonuses for a Plan year will be paid to Plan participants as soon as practicable after investment results and Benchmark data for such Plan year become available, but no later than March 15th of the following year. Any Plan participant who is eligible to participate in The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferral Plan") may elect to defer all or any portion of his or her annual Portfolio Performance Bonus otherwise payable under this Plan, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Plan. Bonuses based on the Discretionary Bonus Pool Component are not eligible for deferral under the Deferred Plan. 7. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and except as otherwise provided herein, in order to be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus for any Plan year, the participant must be an active employee of Progressive on the last day of such Plan year ("Qualification Date"). Any participant who is on a leave of absence covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, personal leave approved by the Company, military leave or short or long-term disability on the Qualification Date relating to any Plan year will be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus for the Plan year based on the 6 Paid Earnings received by the participant during the Plan year. Annual Bonus payments made to participants will be net of any legally required deductions for federal, state and local taxes and other items. 8. The right to any Annual Bonuses hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned or encumbered by any participant. Nothing herein shall prevent any participant's interest hereunder from being subject to involuntary attachment, levy or other legal process. 9. The Plan will be administered by or under the direction of the Committee. The Committee will have the authority to adopt, alter, amend, modify and repeal such rules, guidelines, procedures and practices governing the Plan as it, from time to time, in its sole discretion deems advisable. The Committee will have full authority to determine the manner in which the Plan will operate, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to make all determinations thereunder. All such interpretations and determinations will be final and binding on Progressive, all Plan participants and all other parties. No such interpretation or determination may be relied on as a precedent for any similar action or decision. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all of the authority of the Committee hereunder (including, without limitation, the authority to administer the Plan, select the persons entitled to participate herein or with respect to the various Bonus Components provided for herein, interpret the provisions hereof, waive any of the requirements specified herein and make determinations hereunder and to establish, change or modify Bonus Components, Component weightings, Investment Benchmarks, Performance Targets and Target Percentages) may be exercised by the CEO and Chief Human Resource Officer, acting jointly. If either of said officers is unavailable or unable to participate, or if either of such positions are vacant, the Chief Financial Officer may act instead of such officer. In the event of a dispute or conflict, the determination of the Committee will govern. 10. The Plan may be terminated, amended or revised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 11. The Plan will be unfunded and all payments due under the Plan will be made from Progressive's general assets. 7 12. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any person the right to remain a participant in the Plan or to remain employed by Progressive, nor shall the Plan limit Progressive's right to discipline or discharge any of its officers or employees or change any of their job titles, duties or compensation. 13. Progressive shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out of any bonuses or other sums owed to any participant under the Plan any amounts owed by such participant to Progressive. 14. This Plan supersedes all prior plans, agreements, understandings and arrangements regarding bonuses or other cash incentive compensation payable or due to any participant from Progressive with respect to the performance of Progressive's investment portfolio. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Plan supersedes and replaces the 2003 Progressive Capital Management Bonus Plan (the "Prior Plan"), which is and shall be deemed to be terminated as of December 27, 2003 (the "Termination Date"); provided, that any bonuses or other sums earned and payable under the Prior Plan with respect to any Plan year ended on or prior to the Termination Date shall be unaffected by such termination and shall be paid to the appropriate participants when and as provided thereunder. 15. This Plan is adopted and, is to be effective, as of December 28, 2003, which is the commencement of Progressive's 2004 fiscal year. This Plan shall be effective for the 2004 Plan year (which coincides with Progressive's 2004 fiscal year) and for each Plan year thereafter unless and until terminated by the Committee. 16. This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 8 METHOD USED TO CALCULATE THE BONUS COMPENSATION FOR PCM FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO The performance factor that determines the bonus component of PCM compensation depends on the decile ranking of the PCM Portfolio Segment's total return compared to the risk-adjusted total return of its peers from the Rogers-Casey survey of Intermediate Fixed Income fund managers. Because the R-C survey is only conducted quarterly, we must use quarterly data for both returns standard deviation. The annual returns are calculated from the 4 quarterly returns of the year, but the standard deviation calculation is derived from the most recent 12 quarters (3 years) and converted to annual terms. A fund must have return data for all 12 quarters to be included in the comparison sample. To calculate the decile ranking of PCM returns relative to the returns from the Rogers-Casey survey, we adjust the individual R-C fund managers' returns to match the risk of the PCM Portfolio Segment by applying the Modigliani & Modigliani (M2) formula. Thus, the raw PCM return and the risk-adjusted PCM return will be identical, while the individual fund manager returns will be adjusted according to how much risk each has relative to PCM. The formula and definitions are given below. RA Return (fund) = [STDpgr/STDfund] * [Raw Return (fund) - Rf] + Rf STDpgr = Sample Standard Deviation of Quarterly Returns (Annualized) for 3 Years (i.e., 12 data points) STDfund = Sample Standard Deviation of Quarterly Returns (Annualized) for 3 Years (i.e., 12 data points) Raw Return (fund) = Total Return of Individual R-C Fund Manager for 4 Quarters (Annual return) Rf = "Risk-free rate" 90-day LIBOR Rate at Beginning of Each Quarter for 4 Quarters (Annual return)
Example 1: Example 2: Fund had more risk than PCM Fund had less risk than PCM STDpgr = 15% STDpgr = 15% STDfund = 20% STDfund = 10% Raw Return (fund) = 8% Raw Return (fund) = 8% Rf = 4% Rf = 4% RA Return (fund) = [15% / 20%]*[8% - 4%] + 4% RA Return (fund) = [15% / 10%]*[8% - 4%] + 4%
9 RA Return (fund) = 7% RA Return (fund) = 10% Because the fund was riskier, its RA return is lower Because the fund was less risky, its RA return is higher

EX-10.J 8 l05942aexv10wj.txt EX-10(J) EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN Exhibit No. 10(J) THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION 2004 EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN 1. The Progressive Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Progressive") have designed an executive compensation program consisting of three components: salary, annual bonus and equity-based incentives. These components have been structured to reflect the market for executive compensation and to promote both the achievement of corporate goals and performance that is in the long-term interest of shareholders. The annual bonus component of this program is performance-based and focuses on current results. 2. The 2004 Executive Bonus Plan (the "Plan") provides, in whole or in part, the annual bonus component of Progressive's executive compensation program for Plan participants. The Plan shall be administered by or under the direction of the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of The Progressive Corporation. Executive officers of Progressive may be selected by the Committee to participate in the Plan for one or more Plan years. Plan participants may also be eligible to participate in other Progressive bonus or gainsharing plans, as determined by the Committee. Plan years shall coincide with Progressive's fiscal years. 3. Subject to the following sentence, the amount of the annual bonus earned by any participant under the Plan for any Plan year ("Annual Bonus") will be determined by application of the following formula: Annual Bonus = Paid Salary x Target Percentage x Performance Factor The Annual Bonus payable to any participant with respect to any Plan year shall not exceed $5,000,000.00. 4. The salary rate of each Plan participant for any Plan year shall be established by the Committee no later than ninety (90) days after commencement of such Plan year. For purposes of the Plan, "salary" and "Paid Salary" shall include regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday and funeral pay received by the participant during the Plan year for work or services performed by the participant as an officer or employee of Progressive, but shall not include any (a) short-term or long-term disability payments, (b) lump sum merit adjustments, (c) discretionary or other bonus or incentive payments, (d) unused Earned Time Benefit, or (e) the earnings replacement component of any worker's compensation award. 5. The Target Percentages for the participants in the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but will not exceed 200% for any participant. Target Percentages may vary among Plan participants and may be changed from year to year by the Committee. 1 6. The Performance Factor A. General The Performance Factor shall consist of one or more of the following components: a Core Business Profitability and Growth Component, one or more Business Segment Performance Components, a Cost Structure Improvement Component and an Investment Performance Component (the "Bonus Components" or "Components"). An appropriate combination of Bonus Components will be designated for each participant, and the designated Bonus Components will be weighted, based on such participant's assigned responsibilities, as determined by the Committee. The relative weighting of the Bonus Components may vary among Plan participants and may be changed from year to year by the Committee. For purposes of computing the amount of the Annual Bonus for any Plan year, a Performance Score will be calculated for each of the designated Bonus Components, based on the performance of the business(es), product(s) or function(s) being measured by that Component, as described below. The Performance Score will equal 1.0 if specified performance goals are met, and can vary from 0 to 2.0, based on actual performance versus the pre-established objectives. The Performance Score achieved for each of the designated Bonus Components will then be multiplied by the applicable weighting factor to produce a Weighted Performance Score for that Component. The sum of the Weighted Performance Scores for the applicable Bonus Components will equal the Performance Factor, which can likewise vary from 0 to 2.0. The Performance Factor cannot exceed 2.0, regardless of results. Actual performance results achieved for any Plan year, which will be used to calculate the Performance Score achieved for each of the applicable Bonus Components, must be certified by the Committee prior to payment of the Annual Bonus. B. Core Business Profitability and Growth Component The Core Business Profitability and Growth Component measures the overall operating performance of Progressive's Core Business for the Plan year for which an Annual Bonus payment is to be made. The Core Business will consist of the Agency Business Segment, the Direct Business Segment, the Commercial Auto Business Segment and/or such other Business Segment(s) (as defined below), if any, as shall be designated and defined by the Committee for the Plan year. The Performance Score for this Component is based on weighted operating performance results for each of the Business Segments included in the Core Business (the "Core Business Segments"). Each Plan year, a separate 2 Performance Matrix for each Core Business Segment will be established by or under the direction of the Committee. Each such Performance Matrix will assign a Performance Score to various combinations of profitability and growth outcomes for the applicable Business Segment, based on the following criteria: - profitability will be measured by one of the following, as designated by the Committee: combined ratio, weighted combined ratio, variation in combined ratio from a targeted combined ratio, return on equity or return on revenue; and - growth will be measured by changes in one of the following, as designated by the Committee: net earned premium, net written premium or lifetime earned premium (i.e., the amount of earned premium expected to be generated over time with respect to policies written during a Plan year, including any subsequent renewals thereof, as determined by a formula approved by the Committee). Profitability and growth will be separately determined for each of the Core Business Segments, using the performance criteria designated by the Committee for the Plan year, and will then be matched using the applicable Performance Matrix, to determine a Performance Score for each Core Business Segment. The resulting Performance Scores for each Core Business Segment will then be multiplied by a weighting factor (based on the percentage of net earned premiums generated by such Core Business Segment during the Plan year or such other factor(s) as shall be approved by the Committee), the weighted Performance Scores will be combined and the sum of the weighted Performance Scores will be the Performance Score for the Core Business Profitability and Growth Component. C. Business Segment Performance Component The Business Segment Performance Component measures the performance of one or more designated Business Segments (as defined below) in terms of any one or more of the following criteria selected by the Committee: - profitability -- measured by the combined ratio, weighted combined ratio, variation in combined ratio from a targeted combined ratio, return on equity or return on revenue; - growth -- measured by changes in net written premium, net earned premium or lifetime earned premium, as described above; or - operating effectiveness -- measured by systems availability or timeliness of response. A Business Segment may consist of a distribution channel, business unit, product, class or type of business (e.g., designated types of policies written in a distribution 3 channel or by a business unit), function, process or other business category, such as new or renewal business. The Committee may designate one or more Business Segment Performance Components for an individual Plan participant for any Plan year and, for each such Component, will determine the applicable criteria by which performance will be measured, the goals to be achieved and the Performance Scores that will result from various levels of performance, and the relative weighting thereof. The applicable performance criteria, related goals and resulting Performance Scores may be set forth in a Business Segment Performance Matrix or other format approved by the Committee. Business Segment Performance Components, performance criteria, goals, resulting Performance Scores and relative weightings may vary among participants and may be changed from year to year by the Committee. D. Cost Structure Improvement Component The Cost Structure Improvement Component measures success in achieving cost structure improvement for the Core Business, as a whole, or for an assigned Business Segment, if applicable. Results are reflected in a Cost Structure Improvement Score. For purposes of computing the Cost Structure Improvement Score, cost structure improvement is measured by comparing the sum of the GAAP Underwriting Expense Ratio ("Underwriting Expense Ratio") and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio ("LAE Ratio") achieved for the Plan year (collectively, "Actual Expense Ratio") against defined expense objectives for that year, as established by or under the direction of the Committee ("Target Expense Ratio"). The Target Expense Ratio, including its individual components, may vary by Business Segment and/or for the Core Business as a whole, and may be changed from year to year by or under the direction of the Committee. The Cost Structure Improvement Score will be computed in accordance with the following formula: Cost Structure Improvement = 1 + [Target Expense Ratio-Actual Expense Ratio] ----------------------------------------- Score 3 E. Investment Performance Component The Investment Performance Component compares the investment performance of individual segments of Progressive's investment portfolio ("Portfolio Segments") against the performance of selected groups of comparable investment funds, indexes or other benchmarks ("Investment Benchmarks") over such period or periods as shall be determined by the Committee. Such Investment Benchmarks may be risk-adjusted in accordance with such formula or other method as may be determined by the Committee. Investment results are marked 4 to market in order to calculate total return, which is then compared against the designated Investment Benchmarks to produce a Performance Score, pursuant to a formula or other criteria determined by the Committee, for each Portfolio Segment. The applicable Portfolio Segments will be identified, and the related Investment Benchmarks will be determined, by the Committee and may be changed from year to year by the Committee. In the event that any participant's Annual Bonus is to be determined by the performance of two or more Portfolio Segments, the Performance Scores for each of the Portfolio Segments will be weighted, based on the average amounts invested from time to time in each of such Portfolio Segments during the Plan year, and the weighted Performance Scores for the applicable Portfolio Segments will be then combined to produce the Investment Performance Score. Investment expense is not included in determining investment performance vs. benchmark. 7. The Annual Bonus for any Plan year will be paid to participants as soon as practicable after the Committee has certified performance results for the Plan year, but no later than March 15 of the immediately following year. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be subject to Paragraph 8 hereof. Any Plan participant who is eligible to participate in The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferral Plan") may elect to defer all or a portion of the Annual Bonus otherwise payable under this Plan, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Plan. 8. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in order to be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus for any Plan year, the participant must be employed by Progressive on the date designated for payment thereof ("Qualification Date"); provided, however, that if any participant who is employed by Progressive on the last day of any Plan year shall die at any time between the end of such Plan year and the Qualification Date, his or her estate shall be entitled to receive the Annual Bonus that would have been payable to such deceased participant had he or she lived until and been employed by Progressive on the Qualification Date. Any participant who is on a leave of absence covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, personal leave of absence with the approval of the Company, military leave or short or long-term disability on the Qualification Date with respect to any Plan year will be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus payment for such Plan year, calculated as provided in Paragraphs 3 through 6 above and based on the amount of Paid Earnings received by such participant during the Plan year. Annual Bonus payments made to participants will be net of any legally required deductions for federal, state and local taxes and other items. 5 9. The right to any of the Annual Bonuses hereunder may not be transferred, assigned or encumbered by any participant. Nothing herein shall prevent any participant's interest hereunder from being subject to involuntary attachment, levy or other legal process. 10. The Plan will be administered by or under the direction of the Committee. The Committee will have the authority to adopt, amend, revise and repeal such rules, guidelines, procedures and practices governing the Plan as it, from time to time, in its sole discretion deems advisable. The Committee will have full authority to determine the manner in which the Plan will operate, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to make all determinations hereunder. All such interpretations and determinations will be final and binding on Progressive, all Plan participants and all other parties. No such interpretation or determination may be relied on as a precedent for any similar action or decision. The Plan will be administered by the Committee in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code"). 11. The Plan is subject to approval by the holders of The Progressive Corporation's Common Shares, $1.00 par value ("shareholders") in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and no Annual Bonus will be paid hereunder unless the Plan has been so approved. 12. The Plan may be terminated, amended or revised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided that the Committee may not increase the amount of compensation payable hereunder to any participant above the amount that would otherwise be payable upon attainment of the applicable performance goals, or accelerate the payment of any portion of the Annual Bonus due to any participant under the Plan without discounting the amount of such payment in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, and further provided that any amendment or revision of the Plan required to be approved by shareholders pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code will not be effective until approved by The Progressive Corporation's shareholders in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m). 13. The Plan will be unfunded and all payments due under the Plan will be made from Progressive's general assets. 14. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any person the right to remain a participant in the Plan or to remain employed by Progressive, nor shall the Plan limit Progressive's right to discipline or discharge any of its officers or employees or change any of their job titles, positions, duties or compensation. 6 15. Progressive shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out of any bonuses or other sums owed to any participant under the Plan any amounts owed by such participant to Progressive. 16. This Plan supersedes all prior plans, agreements, understandings and arrangements regarding bonuses or other cash incentive compensation payable or due to any participant from Progressive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Plan supersedes and replaces The Progressive Corporation 1999 Executive Bonus Plan, as heretofore in effect (the "Prior Plan"), which is and shall be deemed to be terminated as of December 27, 2003 (the "Termination Date"); provided, that any bonuses or other sums earned under the Prior Plan with respect to any period ended on or prior to the Termination Date shall be unaffected by such termination and shall be paid to the appropriate participants when and as provided thereunder. 17. This Plan is adopted and, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 hereof, is to be effective, as of December 28, 2003, which is the commencement of Progressive's 2004 fiscal year. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11, this Plan shall be effective for the 2004 Plan year (which coincides with Progressive's 2004 fiscal year) and for each Plan year thereafter unless and until terminated by the Committee. 18. This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 7 EX-10.K 9 l05942aexv10wk.txt EX-10(K) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INCENTIVE PLAN Exhibit No. 10(K) THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION 2004 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INCENTIVE PLAN 1. The Progressive Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Progressive" or the "Company") have adopted The Progressive Corporation 2004 Information Technology Incentive Plan (the "Plan") as part of their overall compensation program for employees assigned to the Company's Information Technology Organization ("IT Organization"). 2. There is a strong correlation between computer systems availability and the economic performance of the Company. All 3 sales channels, customer service and claims handling are dependent on electronic systems. When systems are down, Progressive incurs lost productivity costs and, in some cases, may forfeit revenue opportunities. The Plan is designed to incent employees within the IT Organization to find creative ways to eliminate scheduled and unscheduled system downtime, and shift the risk associated with technology changes away from times when downtime is most costly to the business. 3. A significant aspect of the Plan is that it encourages continuous improvement. Each year, the complexity of the Progressive computing environment increases, as we introduce new applications and increasingly target systems to the end consumer. The target payout for the Plan will be set at the amount of "up time points" earned the previous year (adjusted proportionately for any change in the duration of the current Plan year). In order to receive a payout above the target, the performance achieved needs to exceed the previous year's performance level (as so adjusted) in a more complex environment. Plan years will coincide with Progressive's fiscal years. 4. All regular employees of Progressive (including managers) who are assigned primarily to the IT Organization are eligible to be selected for participation in the Plan. The Chief Executive Officer, after consulting with the Chief Human Resource Officer, ("Designated Officers") shall have the authority to select Plan participants for any given Plan year. 5. Annual payments under the Plan will be determined by application of the following formula: Annual IT Incentive Payment = Paid Earnings x Target Percentage x IT Performance Factor. The Annual IT Incentive Payment payable to any participant with respect to any given Plan year will not exceed $75,000.00. 6. Paid Earnings for any Plan year means the following items paid to a participant during 1 the Plan year: (a) regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday, funeral and overtime pay, and (b) retroactive payments of any of the foregoing items relating to the same Plan year. For purposes of the Plan, Paid Earnings shall not include any short-term or long-term disability payments made to the participant, the earnings replacement component of any worker's compensation award, any lump sum merit awards, payments from the merit cash pool, any bonus or incentive compensation awards or any unused Earned Time Benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sum of the regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday and funeral pay received by a participant for a Plan year exceeds his/her salary range maximum for that Plan year (determined as of the end of the 24th pay period), then his/her Paid Earnings for that Plan year shall equal his/her salary range maximum, plus any of the following items received by such participant for that Plan year: (a) overtime pay and (b) retroactive payments of regular, used Earned Time Benefit, sick, holiday, overtime and funeral pay. 7. Target Percentages vary by position and shall be determined on an annual basis by the Designated Officers. 8. In the discretion of the Designated Officers, participants in this Plan may also participate in The Progressive Corporation 2004 Gainsharing Plan, or any successors thereto. 9. The IT Performance Factor The IT Performance Factor is based on application availability and accuracy measured on a point system, and may vary from 0 to 2.0. Points are awarded for every day that production systems, both mainframe and client/server, are outage free. If there is an outage in any production system, all of the points relating to that application are lost for that day. Measured applications, measured hours, outage definitions, point values and administrative guidelines will be defined on an annual basis by or under the direction of the Designated Officers. A Performance Matrix approved by the Designated Officers will assign a Performance Score to various point levels that may be achieved. For 2004, and for each Plan year thereafter until otherwise determined by the Designated Officers, the applicable Plan rules shall be as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto. The best possible score in any given week is 10 points per application (or a total of 200 points). Attached hereto as Schedule II is the 2004 Performance Matrix with the breakdown of scores and related outcomes. For 2004, a target of 1.00 will be achieved by earning between 10,204 and 10,240 points out of a possible 10,600 points. The Designated Officers will establish the applicable performance targets, the performance 2 scores that will be awarded for various point levels achieved and the maximum potential points that may be earned and the resulting performance score, for subsequent Plan years. 10. Subject to Paragraph 11 below, no later than December 31 of each Plan year, each participant will receive an initial payment in respect of his or her Annual IT Incentive Payment for that Plan year equal to 75% of an amount calculated on the basis of Paid Earnings for the first 24 pay periods of the Plan year, estimated earnings for the remainder of the Plan year, performance data through the first 24 pay periods of the Plan year and forecasted performance results for the remainder of the Plan year. No later than February 15 of the following year, each participant shall receive the balance of his or her Annual IT Incentive Payment, if any, for such Plan year, based on his or her Paid Earnings and performance data for the entire Plan year. 11. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and except as expressly provided herein, in order to be entitled to receive an Annual IT Incentive Payment for any Plan year, the participant must be assigned to the IT Organization and be an active employee of the Company on November 30 of that Plan year ("Qualification Date"). Individuals who are hired on or after December 1 of any Plan year are not entitled to receive an Annual IT Incentive Payment for that Plan year. Any participant who is on a leave of absence covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, personal leave of absence approved by the Company, military leave or short or long-term disability on the Qualification Date with respect to any Plan year will be entitled to receive an Annual IT Incentive Payment for that Plan year, calculated as provided in Paragraphs 5 and 10 above and based on the amount of Paid Earnings received by such participant for the Plan year. Annual IT Incentive Payments will be net of any legally required deductions for federal, state and local taxes and other items. 12. The right to any Annual IT Incentive Payment hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned or encumbered by any participant. Nothing herein shall prevent any participant's interest hereunder from being subject to involuntary attachment, levy or other legal process. 13. The Plan shall be administered by or under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The Progressive Corporation ("Committee"). The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter, modify, amend and repeal such rules, guidelines, procedures and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion, deem advisable. The Committee shall have full authority to determine the manner in which the Plan will operate, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to make all determinations hereunder. All such interpretations and determinations shall be final and binding on Progressive, all Plan participants and all other parties. No such interpretation or determination shall be relied on as a precedent for any similar action or decision. 3 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all of the authority of the Committee hereunder (including, without limitation, the authority to administer the Plan, interpret the provisions hereof, waive any of the requirements specified herein and make determinations hereunder and to establish, change or modify performance targets and measures) may be exercised by the Designated Officers. In the event of a dispute or conflict, the determination of the Committee will govern. 14. The Plan may be terminated, amended or revised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 15. The Plan will be unfunded and all payments due under the Plan shall be made from Progressive's general assets. 16. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any person the right to remain a participant in the Plan or to remain employed by Progressive, nor shall the Plan limit Progressive's right to discipline or discharge any of its employees or change any of their job titles, duties or compensation. 17. Progressive shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out of any Annual IT Incentive Payment or other sums owed to any participant under the Plan any amounts owed by such participant to Progressive. 18. This Plan supersedes any and all prior plans, agreements, understandings and arrangements regarding bonuses or other cash incentive compensation payable to participants by or due from Progressive and relating to the availability of computer systems. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Plan supersedes and replaces The Progressive Corporation 2003 Information Technology Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan"), which is and shall be deemed to be terminated as of December 27, 2003 (the "Termination Date"); provided, that any bonuses or other sums earned and payable under the Prior Plan with respect to any Plan year ended on or prior to the Termination Date shall be unaffected by such termination and shall be paid to the appropriate participants when and as provided thereunder. 19. This Plan is adopted, and is to be effective, as of December 28, 2003, which is the commencement of Progressive's 2004 fiscal year. This Plan shall be effective for the 2004 Plan year (which coincides with Progressive's 2004 fiscal year) and for each Plan year thereafter unless and until terminated by the Committee. 20. This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 4 SCHEDULE I Information Technology Incentive Plan 2004 RULES 1. System Measurements The intent of this program is to ensure that incidents that have major business impact are counted as an outage. An outage is defined as an event (excluding a telecommunication failure) that prevents 100 or more customers from using the application for more than 15 minutes. We define a customer as an agent, policy holder or internal user. The measured hours are 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday. All day Sunday is measured with the exception of our weekly system maintenance window which is from 3:30am until 8:00am EST and, also, one(1) Sunday a quarter from Midnight to 8:00am EST. Individual application service level agreements (SLAs) will take precedent over these time frames. See chart below:
SYSTEM ADDITIONAL OUTAGE CLARIFICATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buy Button - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Disbursements An outage is defined for Monday through Friday. An (CDS) exception would be any requested Saturday or Sunday access requested by the system owner 24 hours in advance. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claims CARS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claims PACMan An outage for the start of day is defined as anytime PACMan is not available by 6:00am Monday through Saturday. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claims Web Tracker - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claims Workbench (CWB) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Auto (PRAT/WFC) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DirectPro An outage is defined as an event (excluding call routing licensing issues) preventing quoting and/or selling. An exception would be one (1) Sunday a month (Sunday before Month End) from 3:30am until 5:30am EST. We recognize at times, an individual state or states may not be available for quoting or selling. There is not a clear cut method to measure the business impact. In these cases, the business will be consulted to determine the impact. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAO - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Progressive Quote - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Quotes (E5) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Progressive - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPSS (Online Underwriting Guidelines) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ownership Work Bench (OWB) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLARIS Billing An outage for the start of day is defined as anytime the System POLARIS transactions are not available by 6:00am Monday through Friday. On Saturday, Agent Bank (S6) and Common EFT (S7) perform weekly file maintenance. An outage on Saturday will be defined as anytime either of these 2 transactions are not available by 8:00am. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Policy Services An outage is defined as anytime their scanning system is Work Flow (POWR) totally unavailable (both locations down) for more than 30 minutes excluding their daily batch window between midnight and 4:00am EST. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProRater Uploads - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROTEUS (Atlantic, An outage for start of day is defined as anytime the 30 Gulf, Midwest, minute back-up occurs after 6:00am, or causes the Pacific) application to be unavailable over 30 minutes. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Server Based Rating (SBR) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telecom - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* ProBill will be baselined in 2004 for inclusion in 2005. We may also baseline the General Ledger application. 2. Customer Retention An outage impacting 100 or more customers is defined as: [ ] E-mails are sent multiple times to the same person [ ] EFT (electronic fund transfers) incorrectly occur multiple times [ ] Bills are sent to the wrong person [ ] Billing is incorrect by more than $ 1.00 [ ] Documents are retransmitted (post office, fax or email) because print was incorrect, forms were missing or forms were sent in error. [ ] Policyholder personal information is compromised by sharing or sending forms with the wrong person or agent. 3. Telecommunications An outage is defined as anytime service (Data / Voice) is not available within 15 minutes of the failure. The measurement includes any outage at the offices listed 6 below: Direct (Strategic Alliance, DirectPro and Internet), Policy Services, Commercial Vehicle and Claims Call Centers at the following locations: Cleveland Campus I Colorado Springs, CO (Research Parkway) Cleveland Campus II Colorado Springs, CO (Chapel Hills) Brooklyn, OH Austin, TX Tampa, FL (Sable Park) Mentor, OH Tampa, FL (Riverview) Rancho Cordova, CA (Sacramento) Tempe, AZ In addition, a call routing outage is defined as anytime 100 unique customers calls are not successfully completed to Progressive (i.e., fast busy, non-working number recording) within a 15 minute period. 7 4. Availability of an Application There can be times when an application is available but a particular transaction could be out of service or malfunctioning. For our measurement purposes, this would typically be counted as an outage. We recognize there could be an occasion where the unavailable transaction represents insignificant lost functionality (less than 1% of the days transactions) to our customers. These transactions being unavailable would not be counted as an outage. 5. Vendor Service Outages Vendors are a critical component to our service delivery. We deal with 2 types of vendors, Transaction Service Vendors (Equifax, Choicepoint, Discover, State MVR Centers, etc.) and Infrastructure Vendors (IBM, MCI, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.). It is the responsibility of the appropriate I/T group to manage and evaluate the quality of service received from these vendors. For purposes of this program, service disruptions caused by a Transaction Service Vendor site not being available that is totally a vendor issue will not be counted as an outage. However, we have several arrangements for failover to an alternate vendor or alternate vendor site during an outage. If we are unable to do the failover because of a Progressive related issue, this would be counted as an outage. For purposes of this program, service disruptions caused by an Infrastructure Vendor will be counted as an outage. 6. Slow Response Time Occasionally an application is available but the response time is poor. Slow response time will not be counted as an outage. 7. Scheduled Maintenance Occasionally, system or facility work needs to be performed that can not be completed during our normal maintenance hours (see rule #1 for maintenance hours). In spite of this downtime being scheduled in advance with our customers, it will be counted as an outage. 8. IT Performance and Retention Point Values IT PERFORMANCE Any day without an outage will be awarded points. Point values are weighted to correspond with the value to the business based upon the volume of transactions. The maximum number of points earned per week is 10 points per application defined in Rule #1. The point value by workday is as follows: 8
DAY POINTS - ------------------------------------------ Monday 2.0 - ------------------------------------------ Tuesday 2.0 - ------------------------------------------ Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 1.5 - ------------------------------------------ Saturday 1.0 - ------------------------------------------ Sunday 0.5 - ------------------------------------------
9 Point values will not be adjusted for holidays. In other words, if a holiday is celebrated on a Monday it will be given a 2 point value. IT CUSTOMER RETENTION Outages that negatively affect customers will be assessed a .5 point loss per incident defined in Rule #2. 9. Communications of Status On a daily basis, we will communicate any outage in the Morning Status Report issued Monday through Friday by ETG. The outage will be highlighted in red. Each Monday, ETG will distribute to all IT staff, the "Weekly IT Performance Report", indicating the previous week's results as well as the annualized point factor. In addition, a monthly report with year-to-date information will be distributed to all IT staff by the first Friday of the fiscal month. 10. Appeal Process Anyone within the organization has the right to appeal an outage. All appeals should be made by a Lotus Note to Ed Locker. Ed will make sure the appeal is presented in the Post Mortem review of the incident. If the outage was misrepresented, a reversal will be carried in the Weekly IT Performance Report and all associated status reports. If the outage requires a judgment call, it will be reviewed by Jerry Winchell, Tom Cunningham and Scott McPherson, who will act as the Ruling Committee. All judgments made by the Ruling Committee are final. 11. 2004 Earned Points Chart The attached 2004 Earned Points Chart correlates annual points earned to the IT Performance Factor. 12. Scoring Rule Clarifications. With the conversion to the new points distribution system for the Information Technology Incentive Plan, we will be making some new decisions to support scoring. Often there is not a right or wrong answer. However, it is extremely important that we are consistent and wanted to publish our current assumptions. All changes must be approved by the Ruling Committee. [ ] Points will not be charged against an application if all offices are closed that use the application. For example, CA's system is down on a Sunday outside of their work hours. No points charged to CA. [ ] The total population using the system at the time of the outage will always be used 10 to determine if it is a performance loss. This is exactly what we do today. The point losses distributed amongst applications will be given no matter how many people are working on that application. In other words, we assess a point loss to the application even though there were less than 100 people using it. For example, we have 100 or more people down during a 20 minute production system outage. It is a point loss because it is over 15 minutes and impacted 100 people. If CA only had 1 person working, their system would still incur a point loss. 11 SCHEDULE II INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INCENTIVE PLAN 2004 EARNED POINTS CHART

The purpose of this plan, which shall be known as The Progressive Corporation Directors Restricted Stock Deferral Plan (the "Plan") is to provide directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries with an opportunity to defer the receipt of Common Shares with respect to Eligible Restricted Stock Awards.

"COMMITTEE" means the Compensation Committee of the Board. "COMPANY" means The Progressive Corporation, an Ohio corporation, and its successors. "COMPANY DIRECTORS EQUITY PLAN" means any equity compensation plan for directors who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries maintained by the Company -1- providing for the award of Restricted Stock, including but not limited to, The Progressive Corporation 2003 Directors Equity Incentive Plan. "DEFERRAL ELECTION" means an election, filed with the Committee, pursuant to which a Participant elects to have all or part of an Eligible Restricted Stock Award converted into Stock Units under this Plan, and to have such Stock Units credited to his or her Stock Account under the Plan pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. "DESIGNATED DEFERRAL PERIOD" shall mean the deferral period selected by the Participant with respect to an Eligible Restricted Stock Award, which deferral period shall specify the date on which distribution of Shares with respect to such Eligible Restricted Stock Award shall be made or begin. "DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS" means the amount of dividends or other distributions to shareholders of the Company that a Participant would have received had the Participant's Stock Units been actual Shares as of the date of a dividend or other distribution by the Company. "ELIGIBLE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD" means an award of Restricted Stock made, or to be made, under a Company Directors Equity Plan.

Each Stock Unit credited to a Participant's Stock Account shall represent the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, to receive one (1) Share at the end of the Participant's Designated Deferral Period or at such other time as this Plan may specify for distribution to be made or begin. ARTICLE III PARTICIPATION 3.1 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. Directors who shall be eligible to participate in this Plan shall be those directors who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. ARTICLE IV DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 4.1 DEFERRAL ELECTIONS. In the first Plan Year this Plan is in effect each director who is eligible to participate in this Plan may file a Deferral Election with the Committee at any time prior to the grant of Restricted Stock which is the subject of such Deferral Election; thereafter each eligible director who elects to participate in this Plan for any Plan Year shall file a Deferral Election with the Committee before the beginning of such Plan Year, provided that any director who was not a director during the previous Plan Year may file a Deferral Election with the Committee (i) within thirty (30) days after he/she is elected to the Board and (ii) prior to the grant of Restricted Stock which is the subject of such Deferral Election. The Deferral Election shall be in the form prescribed by the Committee, and in -3- accordance with such rules and procedures as may be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. Once made, a Participant's Deferral Election shall be irrevocable. A Deferral Election shall be deemed to have been made when the completed and executed election form is received and accepted by the Committee or its designated agent. A separate Deferral Election shall be made by a Participant with respect to all or part of each Eligible Restricted Stock Award to be subject to a Deferral Election during such Plan Year. If an eligible Participant fails to file an appropriate election form with respect to any Eligible Restricted Stock Award before the beginning of a Plan Year (or before the grant of Restricted Stock in the first year a director is eligible to participate in this Plan), he or she shall be deemed to have elected not to make a Deferral Election for such Plan Year. 4.2 EFFECT OF DEFERRAL ELECTION. If a Participant timely files a Deferral Election with the Committee with respect to an Eligible Restricted Stock Award, each share of Restricted Stock subject to a Deferral Election will be automatically cancelled immediately prior to vesting and will be replaced with a corresponding Stock Unit credited to the Participant's Stock Account in accordance with Section 4.3. A timely Deferral Election with respect to an Eligible Restricted Stock Award will defer the delivery to the Participant of the Shares subject thereto until the end of the Participant's Designated Deferral Period or such other time as this Plan may specify for distribution to be made or begin. 4.3 STOCK ACCOUNTS. The Committee shall establish and maintain a separate bookkeeping account in the name of each Participant who makes a Deferral Election during the course of his or her participation in the Plan. Each Participant's Stock Account shall consist of the sum of the Stock -4- Units credited to such Participant's Stock Account. Each Participant's Stock Account shall be adjusted as follows: (a) As of the date of vesting of an Eligible Restricted Stock Award to which a Participant's Deferral Election is applicable, the Participant's Stock Account shall be credited with that number of Stock Units equal to the number of Shares to which the Deferral Election relates; (b) As of the date on which a dividend is paid on (or any other distribution is made on account of) Shares, the Stock Account shall be credited with that number of Stock Units and fraction thereof equal to the number of Shares and fraction thereof that the Dividend Equivalent Amount would have purchased on that date based on the average of the high and low trading prices of the Shares on that date. (c) As of the date on which Shares are distributed to the Participant in accordance with Section 4.5, the Participant's Stock Account shall be reduced by an equal number of Stock Units, and fractions thereof, if applicable. In the event of any stock split, reverse split, combination or other changes that impact the Company's capital structure, or Share status, each Participant's Stock Account and the number of Stock Units credited thereto shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with the treatment of outstanding equity awards pursuant to the Company Directors Equity Plan. 4.4 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS. Dividend Equivalent Amounts with respect to the Participant's Stock Units shall result in the Participant's Stock Account being credited with an additional number of Stock Units and/or fraction thereof equal to the Dividend Equivalent Amount divided by the average of the high and low trading prices of Shares on the date specified in Section 4.3(b) and shall become subject to the Deferral Election applicable to the Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Amount relates. 4.5 DISTRIBUTION OF SHARES FROM STOCK ACCOUNTS. Subject to any limitation set forth in this Plan or any other limitations as may be established by the Committee in its sole -5- discretion, each Deferral Election shall specify the method of distribution with respect to the Eligible Restricted Stock Award which is subject to the Deferral Election. A Participant may elect to have his or her Stock Units with respect to any Eligible Restricted Stock Award which is subject to a Deferral Election distributed in any of the following number of installments following the expiration of the earlier of (i) the termination of the Participant's service as a director of the Company or (ii) the Participant's Designated Deferral Period with respect to such Eligible Restricted Stock Award: (1) a single lump sum; (2) 3 equal or substantially equal annual installments; (3) 5 equal or substantially equal annual installments; or (4) 10 equal or substantially equal annual installments. A Participant may elect a different method of distribution with respect to each Eligible Restricted Stock Award that is subject to a Deferral Election. Distributions will commence on the first business day of the month following the month specified in the Deferral Election or, in the event of termination of a Participant's service as a director, within thirty (30) days following such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs or a Participant dies, a distribution with respect to all the Stock Units then held in the Participant's Stock Account shall be made to him/her or his/her beneficiaries in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days following the Change in Control or the date the Committee receives written notice of his/her death. Distributions with respect to the Stock Units credited to a Participant's Stock Account under this Plan shall in all cases be satisfied by the delivery by the Company of a number of Shares equal to the number of Stock Units with respect to which such distribution is being made, except that any -6- fractional share shall be satisfied in cash, based on the average of the high and low trading prices of Shares on the business day immediately preceding such distribution. If a Participant is receiving a distribution in installments, Dividend Equivalent Amounts will continue to be credited with respect to the undistributed Stock Units remaining in such Participant's Stock Account until all such Stock Units have been distributed. ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS 5.1 BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant shall have the right to designate in writing one or more beneficiaries to receive distributions in the event of the Participant's death by filing with the Company a beneficiary designation on a form provided by the Committee. The designated beneficiary or beneficiaries may be changed by a Participant at any time prior to his or her death by the delivery to the Committee of a new beneficiary designation form. The change shall become effective only when the new beneficiary designation form is received and accepted by the Committee; provided, however, any beneficiary designation form received by the Committee after the designating Participant's death will be disregarded. If no beneficiary shall have been designated, or if no designated beneficiary shall survive the Participant, distribution pursuant to this provision shall be made to the Participant's estate. 5.2 ADMINISTRATION. Except for those powers and duties expressly reserved for the Board hereunder, the Committee will have full power to administer the Plan. Such power includes, but is not limited to, the following authority: (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of Plan; (b) To interpret the Plan and to decide all matters arising thereunder, including the right to resolve or remedy any ambiguities, errors, -7- inconsistencies or omissions. All such interpretations shall be final and binding on all parties; (c) To determine the amount of distributions to be made to each Participant and beneficiary or other person in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; (d) To authorize distributions under the Plan; (e) To keep such records and submit such filings, elections, applications, returns or other documents or forms as may be required under applicable law; (f) To appoint such agents, counsel, accountants and consultants as may be desirable in administering the Plan; (g) To exercise the other powers that are expressly granted to it herein, or that are impliedly necessary for it to carry out any of its responsibilities hereunder; and (h) By written instrument to delegate any of the foregoing powers to one or more designated officers or employees of the Company or other persons. All decisions of the Committee or its designees shall be binding upon all Participants and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns, and any and all persons claiming under or through any of them. No member of the Committee or any of its designees shall be liable to any Participant or to the Company for any determination made within the scope of the administrative and interpretive functions provided in this Plan. No member of the Committee shall participate in any discussion or determination involving his or her own rights, benefits or obligations under this Plan. 5.3 REPORTS. Until a Participant's entire Stock Account shall have been distributed in full, the Company will furnish or make available to the Participant a written or electronic report, at least annually, setting forth any changes in such Account and the amounts credited to such Account. -8- 5.4 ASSIGNMENT AND ALIENATION OF BENEFITS. The right of each Participant to any account, benefit, Stock Unit, right or distribution hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by law, be subject in any manner to attachment or other legal process for the debts of such Participant, and no account, benefit, Stock Unit, right or distribution shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, pledge, transfer, assignment or encumbrance; provided, however, the Company shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out of any distributions due a Participant, beneficiary or other person at the time such distributions would otherwise have been made hereunder, any amounts owed the Company or any subsidiary of the Company by such Participant, beneficiary or other person. 5.5 DIRECTOR AND SHAREHOLDER STATUS. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its shareholders to terminate any Participant's service as a director, at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as a director of the Company or to be nominated for election to the Board at any time. The Plan will not give any person any right or claim to any benefits under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Participation in the Plan shall not create any rights in a Participant (or any other person) as a shareholder of the Company until Shares are registered in the name of, and distributed to, the Participant (or such other person). 5.6 ASSETS. No assets shall be segregated or earmarked in respect of any Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Payments or Stock Accounts. The Plan and the crediting of Stock Accounts hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be structured solely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation. All amounts payable pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company and in no event shall any -9- Participant or beneficiary have any claims or rights to any payment hereunder that are superior to any claims or rights of any general creditor of the Company. 5.7 TAXES. The Company shall not be responsible for the tax consequences under federal, state or local law of any election made by any Participant under the Plan. The Company shall have the right to make required information reporting and/or to withhold or deduct from any distribution to be made pursuant to this Plan, or to otherwise require prior to the distribution of any amount hereunder, payment by the Participant of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any such distribution to the Participant. In addition, to the extent the Company shall be required, prior to the date on which distributions are to be made to a Participant under this Plan, to withhold any taxes in connection with any Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Amounts credited to a Participant's accounts under this Plan, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have the right to make such withholding or to require direct payment of such withholding taxes by the Participant to the Company. 5.8 AMENDMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may amend this Plan at any time for any reason without liability to any Participant, beneficiary or other person for any such amendment or for any other action taken pursuant to this Section 5.8, provided that no such amendment shall be made retroactively in a manner that would deprive any Participant of any rights or benefits which have accrued to his/her benefit under the Plan as of the date such amendment is proposed to be effective, unless such amendment is necessary to comply with applicable law. 5.9 TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may terminate this Plan at any time for any reason without any liability to any Participant, beneficiary or other person for any such termination or for any other action taken pursuant to this -10- Section 5.9. Following termination of this Plan, and notwithstanding the provisions of any Deferral Election entered into prior to such termination, no additional deferrals may be made hereunder, but all existing Stock Accounts shall be administered in accordance with the Plan, as in effect immediately prior to termination, and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the applicable Deferral Elections, unless and until the Board elects to accelerate distributions as provided below. At any time on or after the effective date of termination of this Plan, the Board, in its sole discretion, may elect to accelerate the distribution with respect to all Stock Units in all Stock Accounts. Such distributions shall be made in a lump sum. Upon completion of distributions to all Participants, or beneficiaries, as the case may be, no Participant, beneficiary or person claiming under or through them, will have any claims in respect of this Plan. 5.10 NOTICES TO COMMITTEE. The Committee shall designate one or more addresses to which notices and other communications to the Committee shall be sent with respect to this Plan. No notice or other communication shall be considered to have been given to or received by the Committee until it has been delivered to the Committee's attention at one of such designated addresses. 5.11 NO LIABILITY. Participation in the Plan is entirely at the risk of each Participant. Neither the Company, the Committee, the Board nor any other person associated with this Plan shall have any liability for any loss or diminution in the value of Stock Accounts, or for any failure of this Plan to effectively defer recognition of income or to achieve any Participant's desired tax treatment or financial results. 5.12 FACILITY OF PAYMENT. If the Committee determines that a Participant or beneficiary entitled to receive a payment under this Plan is (at the time such payment is to be -11- made) a minor or physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and that another person or any institution has legal custody of such minor or incompetent individual, the Committee may cause payment to be made to such person or institution having custody of such Participant or beneficiary. Such payment, to the extent made, shall operate as a complete discharge of obligation by the Committee, the Company and the Board. 5.13 SECURITIES LAW PROVISIONS. The issuance and distribution of Shares pursuant to this Plan will not be registered under the Federal or any state securities laws. The Shares will be "restricted securities" as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may not be sold or transferred absent registration under the Securities Act or in accordance with an applicable exemption. 5.14 EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan was adopted by the Board effective as of February 1, 2004 (the "Effective Date") and shall remain in effect until terminated pursuant to Section 5.9. 5.15 APPLICABLE LAW. This Plan shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Ohio.

THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001

- 1 - REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Progressive Corporation, an insurance holding company formed in 1965, owns 68 subsidiaries and has 1 mutual insurance company affiliate and 1 reciprocal insurance company affiliate (the Company) as of December 31, 2003. The insurance subsidiaries and affiliates provide personal automobile insurance and other specialty property-casualty insurance and related services throughout the United States. The Company’s Personal Lines segment writes insurance for private passenger automobiles and recreation vehicles through both an independent agency channel and a direct channel. The Company’s Commercial Auto segment writes insurance for automobiles and trucks owned by small businesses primarily through the independent agency channel.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND REPORTING The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Progressive Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates. All of the subsidiaries and the affiliates are wholly owned or controlled. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

ESTIMATES The Company is required to make estimates and assumptions when preparing its financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVESTMENTS Available-for-sale: fixed maturity securities are debt securities, which may have fixed or variable principal payment schedules, may be held for indefinite periods of time, and may be used as a part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy or sold in response to changes in interest rates, anticipated prepayments, risk/reward characteristics, liquidity needs or similar economic factors. These securities are carried at market value with the corresponding unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of deferred income taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Market values are obtained from a recognized pricing service or other quoted sources. The asset-backed portfolio is accounted for under the retrospective method; prepayment assumptions are based on market expectations. For interest only and non-investment-grade asset-backed securities, the prospective method is used in accordance with the guidance prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets.”

     Available-for-sale: equity securities include common equities and nonredeemable preferred stocks and are reported at quoted market values. Changes in the market values of these securities, net of deferred income taxes, are reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in accumulated other comprehensive income. Changes in value of foreign equities due to foreign currency exchange rates are limited by foreign currency hedges; unhedged amounts are not material and changes in value are recognized in income in the current period. The Company held no foreign equities or foreign currency hedges during 2003 or 2002.

     Trading securities are securities bought principally for the purpose of sale in the near term and, when not material to the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations, are reported at market value within the available-for-sale portfolio. The Company had no trading securities at December 31, 2003; derivatives used for trading are discussed below. In prior years, the net activity in trading securities was not material to the Company’s financial position or cash flows; the effect on results of operations is separately disclosed in Note 2 - Investments. To the extent the Company has trading securities, changes in market value would be recognized in income in the current period.

     Derivative instruments may include futures, options, forward positions, foreign currency forwards and interest rate swap agreements and may be used in the portfolio for risk management or trading purposes or to hedge the exposure to: changes in fair value of an asset or liability (fair value hedge); foreign currency of an investment in a foreign operation (foreign currency hedge); or variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). These derivative instruments would be recognized

- APP.-B-6 -

 


 

as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income in the period of change. Changes in the fair value of the hedged items would be recognized in income while the hedge was in effect.

     At December 31, 2003, the Company held two derivatives classified as trading securities. The Company sold default protection related to two issuers, using credit default swaps and matched the notional value of these positions with Treasury notes with an equivalent principal value and maturity to replicate a cash bond position. Changes in the fair value of the credit default swaps and the Treasury notes are recognized in income in the current period.

     During 2003, the Company held no derivatives classified as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of these hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently amortized into earnings over the life of the hedged transaction. Gains and losses on hedges on forecasted transactions are amortized over the life of the hedged item (see Note 4 – Debt). Hedges on forecasted transactions that no longer qualify for hedge accounting due to lack of correlation are considered derivatives used for risk management purposes.

     During 2003, the Company had no fair value or foreign currency hedges or derivative instruments held or issued for risk management purposes. To the extent the Company held fair value hedges, changes in the hedge, along with the hedged items would be recognized in income in the period of change while the hedge was in effect. Gains and losses on foreign currency hedges would offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the foreign investments. Derivatives held or issued for risk management purposes would be recognized in income during the period of change.

     Derivatives designated as hedges would also be evaluated on established criteria to determine the effectiveness of their correlation to, and ability to reduce risk of, specific securities or transactions; effectiveness would be reassessed regularly. If the effectiveness of a fair value hedge becomes non-compliant, the adjustment in the change in value of the hedged item would no longer be recognized in income during the current period.

     For all derivative positions, net cash requirements are limited to changes in market values, which may vary based upon changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and other factors. Exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying value; collateral may be required to limit credit risk.

     Short-term investments include Eurodollar deposits, commercial paper and other securities maturing within one year and are reported at amortized cost, which approximates market.

     Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Market values of securities fluctuate based on the magnitude of changing market conditions; significant changes in market conditions could materially affect portfolio value in the near term. The Company continually monitors its portfolio for pricing changes, which might indicate potential impairments and performs detailed reviews of securities with unrealized losses based on predetermined criteria. In such cases, changes in market value are evaluated to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer, such as financial conditions, business prospects or other factors or (ii) market-related factors, such as interest rates or equity market declines. When a security in the Company’s investment portfolio has an unrealized loss in market value that is deemed to be other than temporary, the Company reduces the book value of such security to its current market value, recognizing the decline as a realized loss in the income statement. Any future increases in the market value of securities written down are reflected as changes in unrealized gains as part of accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

     Realized gains and losses on securities are computed based on the first-in first-out method and include write-downs on available-for-sale securities considered to have other than temporary declines in market value.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using accelerated methods for computers and the straight-line method for all other fixed assets. The useful lives range from 3 to 4 years for computers, 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 5 to 6 years for all other property and equipment. Property and equipment includes software capitalized for internal use. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, land and buildings comprised 75% and 73%, respectively, of total property and equipment.

     Total interest capitalized was $1.5 million, $.5 million and $1.2 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relating to both the Company’s construction projects and capitalized computer software costs.

INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND RECEIVABLES Insurance premiums written are earned on a pro rata basis over the period of risk, using a mid-month convention. Insurance premiums written in 2004 and forward will be earned based on a daily earnings

- APP.-B-7 -

 


 

convention. The Company provides insurance and related services to individuals and small commercial accounts throughout the United States, and offers a variety of payment plans. Generally, premiums are collected prior to providing risk coverage, minimizing the Company’s exposure to credit risk. The Company performs a policy level evaluation to determine the extent the premiums receivable balance exceeds its unearned premiums balance. The Company then ages this exposure to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on prior experience.

INCOME TAXES The income tax provision is calculated under the balance sheet approach in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The principal assets and liabilities giving rise to such differences are net unrealized gains/losses on securities, loss reserves, unearned premiums reserves, deferred acquisition costs and non-deductible accruals. The Company reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability. At December 31, 2003, the Company is able to demonstrate that the benefit of its deferred tax assets is fully realizable and, therefore, no valuation allowance is recorded.

LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE RESERVES Loss reserves represent the estimated liability on claims reported to the Company, plus reserves for losses incurred but not yet reported (IBNR). These estimates are reported net of amounts recoverable from salvage and subrogation. Loss adjustment expense reserves represent the estimated expenses required to settle these claims and losses. The methods of making estimates and establishing these reserves are reviewed regularly, and resulting adjustments are reflected in income currently. Such loss and loss adjustment expense reserves could be susceptible to significant change in the near term.

REINSURANCE The Company’s reinsurance transactions include premiums written under state-mandated involuntary plans for commercial vehicles (Commercial Auto Insurance Procedures–CAIP), for which the Company retains no loss indemnity risk (see Note 6 – Reinsurance for further discussion). In addition, the Company cedes auto premiums to state-provided reinsurance facilities and premiums in its non-auto programs to limit its exposure in those particular markets. Prepaid reinsurance premiums were recognized on a pro rata basis over the period of risk, primarily using a mid-month convention and consistent with premiums written. Beginning in 2004, prepaid reinsurance premiums will be earned based on a daily earnings convention. Because the Company’s primary line of business, auto insurance, is written at relatively low limits of liability, the Company does not believe that it needs to mitigate its risk through voluntary reinsurance.

EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include common stock equivalents assumed outstanding during the period. The Company’s common stock equivalents include stock options and qualified restricted stock awards.

DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS Deferred acquisition costs include commissions, premium taxes and other variable underwriting and direct sales costs incurred in connection with writing business. These costs are deferred and amortized over the policy period in which the related premiums are earned. The Company considers anticipated investment income in determining the recoverability of these costs. Management believes that these costs will be fully recoverable in the near term. The Company does not defer advertising costs.

GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS The Company is subject to state guaranty fund assessments which provide for the payment of covered claims or other insurance obligations of insurance companies deemed insolvent. These assessments are accrued after a formal determination of insolvency has occurred and the Company has written the premiums on which the assessments will be based.

SERVICE REVENUES AND EXPENSES Service revenues consist primarily of fees generated from processing business for involuntary plans and are earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the related policies. Acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related revenues are earned.

- APP.-B-8 -

 


 

STOCK COMPENSATION The Company follows the provisions of SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to account for its stock compensation activity in the financial statements. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company followed the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for its stock option activity.

     The change to the fair value method of accounting was applied prospectively to all non-qualified stock option awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. No stock options were granted after December 31, 2002. As a result, there is no compensation cost for stock options included in net income for 2003; however, compensation expense would have been recognized if the fair value method had been used for all awards since the original effective date of SFAS 123 (January 1, 1995). Prior to 2003, the Company granted all options currently outstanding at an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of grant and, therefore, under APB 25, no compensation expense was recorded.

     Beginning in 2003, the Company began issuing restricted stock awards. Compensation expense for restricted stock awards is recognized over the vesting period. The current year expense is not representative of the effect on net income for future years since each subsequent year will reflect expense for additional awards.

     The following table is presented in accordance with SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” and shows the effects on net income and earnings per share had the fair value method been applied to all outstanding and unvested stock option awards for the periods presented. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the options awarded as of the date of grant.

The current year pro forma expense is not representative of the effect on net income for future years since the Company stopped issuing non-qualified stock option awards as of December 31, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash includes only bank demand deposits. The Company paid income taxes of $579.0 million, $392.0 million and $127.3 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total interest paid was $99.0 million during 2003, $64.4 million during 2002 and $51.3 million during 2001. Non-cash activity includes the liability for deferred restricted stock compensation and the changes in net unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

     The Company effected a 3-for-1 stock split in the form of a dividend to shareholders on April 22, 2002. The Company issued its Common Shares by transferring $147.0 million from retained earnings to the Common Share account. All share and per share amounts and stock prices were adjusted to give effect to the split. Treasury shares were not split.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The accounting standards recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Statements of Position and Practice Bulletins issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and consensus positions of the EITF, which are not reflected within this Annual Report, are currently not applicable to the Company, and therefore, would have no impact on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

For 2003, 2002 and 2001, net realized gains (losses) on securities include $50.3 million, $136.5 million and $36.0 million, respectively, of write downs in securities determined to have an other than temporary decline in market value for securities held at December 31.

The components of gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2003, in accordance with EITF Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” were:

The market value for securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater was $165.1 million.

None of these securities was deemed to have any fundamental issues that would lead the Company to believe that they were other than temporarily impaired. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the fixed-maturity securities and preferred stocks to maturity/redemption, and will do so, as long as their relative value is greater than comparable investment opportunities with similar investment risk characteristics. The Company will retain the common stocks to maintain correlation to the Russell 1000 index as long as the portfolio and index correlation remain similar. If the Company’s strategy were to change and these securities were impaired, the Company would recognize a write down in accordance with its stated policy.

Trading securities are accounted for separately in accordance with SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not hold any trading securities. Derivatives used for trading purposes are discussed below. Net realized gains (losses) on trading securities for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $.1 million, $0 and $(6.5) million, respectively. Trading securities are not material to the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations and are reported within the available-for-sale portfolio, rather than separately disclosed.

The composition of fixed maturities by maturity at December 31, 2003 was:

                 
            Market
(millions)   Cost   Value

 
 
Less than one year
  $ 629.3     $ 643.5  
One to five years
    4,540.8       4,645.4  
Five to ten years
    3,661.2       3,774.2  
Ten years or greater
    67.7       70.3  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 8,899.0     $ 9,133.4  
 
   
     
 

Asset-backed securities are reported based upon their projected cash flows. All other securities which do not have a single maturity date are reported at average maturity. Actual maturities may differ from expected maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

     The Company records derivative instruments at fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in value reflected in income during the current period. This accounting treatment did not change when SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” became effective January 1, 2001; therefore, no transition adjustment was required.

     Derivative instruments are generally used to manage the Company’s risks and enhance the yields of the available-for-sale portfolio. This is accomplished by modifying the basis, duration, interest rate or foreign currency characteristics of the portfolio, hedged securities or hedged cash flows. During 2003 and 2002, the Company did not hold any open risk management derivative positions; during 2001, the Company recognized net losses of $2.7 million.

     During 2002, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge in anticipation of its $400 million debt issuance, of which $150 million was originally expected to be a 10-year issuance and $250 million a 30-year issuance. The decision to issue all 30-year debt made the 10-year hedge a discontinued hedge and the loss recognized on closing the hedge of $1.5 million was realized in income in accordance with SFAS 133. The debt issuance hedges are described further in Note 4 – Debt.

     Derivative instruments may also be used for trading purposes. At December 31, 2003, the Company held two derivative instruments used for trading purposes, with a net market value of $5.7 million. During 2003, the Company sold credit default protection related to two issuers, using credit default swaps. The Company matched the notional value of the positions with Treasury notes with an equivalent principal value and maturity to replicate a cash bond position. The net market value of the derivatives and the Treasury notes was $103.2 million as of December 31, 2003. Net gains (losses) on the position were $4.9 million in 2003, including $(.8) million on the Treasury notes. Net gains (losses) on positions were $(.1) million in 2002 and $1.9 million in 2001 and are included in the available-for-sale portfolio.

The provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of income differed from the statutory rate as follows:

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, net income taxes payable were $15.3 million and $75.6 million, respectively.

In July 2003, the Company received notice from the Internal Revenue Service that the Joint Committee of Taxation of Congress had completed its review of a Federal income tax settlement agreed to by the Internal Revenue Service, primarily attributable to the amount of loss reserves deductible for tax purposes. As a result, the Company will receive an income tax refund of approximately $58 million, which is reflected as a tax recoverable as a component of the Company’s “Income Taxes” item on the balance sheet. In addition, as of December 31, 2003, the Company estimated that it will receive $31.2 million, or $.09 per share, of interest; interest will continue to accrue thereafter until payment is received.

Deferred income taxes reflect the effect for financial statement reporting purposes of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the components of the net deferred tax assets were as follows:

Debt includes amounts the Company has borrowed and contributed to the capital of its insurance subsidiaries or borrowed for other long-term purposes. Market values are obtained from publicly quoted sources. Interest on all debt is payable semiannually and all principal is due at maturity. There are no restrictive financial covenants.

     The 6.25% Senior Notes, the 6.375% Senior Notes and the 6 5/8% Senior Notes (collectively, “Senior Notes”) may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time, at the option of the Company, subject to a “make whole” provision. All other debt is noncallable.

     Prior to issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company entered into forecasted debt issuance hedges against possible rises in interest rates. Upon issuance of the applicable debt securities, the hedges were closed. Pursuant to SFAS 133, the Company recognized, as part of accumulated other comprehensive income, a $5.1 million unrealized gain associated with the 6.25% Senior Notes and an $18.4 million unrealized gain associated with the 6.375% Senior Notes. In addition, in 2001, the Company reclassified the remaining $4.2 million unrealized loss associated with the 6 5/8% Senior Notes from a deferred asset account, in accordance with SFAS 80, “Accounting for Futures Contracts,” accumulated other comprehensive income. The gain (loss) on these hedges is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the related debt issuances.

     In May 1990, the Company entered into a revolving credit arrangement with National City Bank, which is reviewed by the bank annually. Under this agreement, the Company has the right to borrow up to $10.0 million. By selecting from available credit options, the Company may elect to pay interest at rates related to the London interbank offered rate, the bank’s base rate or at a money market rate. A commitment fee is payable on any unused portion of the committed amount at the rate of .125% per annum. The Company had no borrowings under this arrangement at December 31, 2003 or 2002.

     Aggregate principal payments on debt outstanding at December 31, 2003, are $206.0 million for 2004, $0 for 2005, $100.0 million for 2006, $0 for 2007, $0 for 2008 and $1.2 billion thereafter.

The Company’s objective is to establish case and IBNR reserves that are adequate to cover all loss costs, while sustaining minimal variation from the date that the reserves are initially established until losses are fully developed. The Company’s reserves developed favorably in 2003 and 2001. In addition to favorable claims settlement during 2003, the Company benefited from a change in its estimate of the Company’s future operating losses due to business assigned from the New York Automobile Insurance Plan.

     Because the Company is primarily an insurer of motor vehicles, it has limited exposure to environmental, asbestos and general liability claims. The Company has established reserves for these exposures, in amounts which it believes to be adequate based on information currently known. The Company does not believe that these claims will have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

     The Company writes personal and commercial auto insurance in the coastal states, which could be exposed to natural catastrophes. Although the occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant affect on the Company’s monthly or quarterly results, the Company believes such an event would not be so material as to disrupt the overall normal operations of the Company. The Company is unable to predict if any such events will occur in the near term.

- 6 - REINSURANCE

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.

     As of December 31, 2003, almost 60% of the “prepaid reinsurance premiums” and approximately 55% of the “reinsurance recoverables” are comprised of CAIP, compared to approximately 55% for both items in 2002, for which the Company retains no loss indemnity risk.

The effect of reinsurance on premiums written and earned for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

Losses and loss adjustment expenses are net of reinsurance ceded of $185.8 million in 2003, $131.8 million in 2002 and $102.4 million in 2001.

- 7 - STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

At December 31, 2003, $492.7 million of consolidated statutory policyholders’ surplus represents net admitted assets of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries and affiliates that are required to meet minimum statutory surplus requirements in such entities’ states of domicile. The companies may be licensed in states other than their states of domicile, which may have higher minimum statutory surplus requirements. Generally, the net admitted assets of insurance companies that, subject to other applicable insurance laws and regulations, are available for transfer to the parent company cannot include the net admitted assets required to meet the minimum statutory surplus requirements of the states where the companies are licensed.

     During 2003, the insurance subsidiaries paid aggregate cash dividends of $516.2 million to the parent company. Based on the dividend laws currently in effect, the insurance subsidiaries may pay aggregate dividends of $967.2 million in 2004 without prior approval from regulatory authorities.

     Statutory policyholders’ surplus was $4,538.3 million and $3,370.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Statutory net income was $1,260.5 million, $557.4 million and $469.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

- 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has a two-tiered Retirement Security Program. The first tier is a defined contribution pension plan covering all employees who meet requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions vary from 1% to 5% of annual eligible compensation up to the Social Security wage base, based on years of eligible service. Company contributions were $15.4 million in 2003, $13.0 million in 2002 and $10.7 million in 2001.

     The second tier is a long-term savings plan under which the Company matches, up to a maximum of 3% of the employee’s eligible compensation, amounts contributed to the plan by an employee. Effective April 1, 2002, Company matching contributions may be invested by a participant in any of the investment funds available under the plan. Previously, such matching contributions were required to be invested in the Company stock fund until fully vested. Company matching contributions were $19.9 million in 2003, $16.9 million in 2002 and $14.4 million in 2001.

POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The Company provides various postemployment benefits to former or inactive employees who meet eligibility requirements, their beneficiaries and covered dependents. Postemployment benefits include salary continuation and disability-related benefits, including workers’ compensation, and, if elected, continuation of health-care benefits. The Company’s liability was $12.3 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $10.0 million in 2002.

- APP.-B-16 -

 


 

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company provides postretirement health and life insurance benefits to all employees who met requirements as to age and length of service at December 31, 1988. This group of employees represents less than one-half of one percent of the Company’s current workforce. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to services to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION The Company maintains The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (Deferral Plan), which permits eligible executives to defer receipt of some or all of their annual bonuses or restricted stock awards. These deferred amounts are deemed invested in one or more investment funds, including Common Shares of the Company, offered under the Deferral Plan. All distributions from the Deferral Plan will be made in cash. Prior to January 2004, distributions representing amounts deemed invested in Common Shares were made in Common Shares. The Company reserved 900,000 Common Shares for issuance under the Deferral Plan. Included in the Company’s balance sheets is an irrevocable grantor trust established to provide a source of funds to assist the Company in meeting its liabilities under the Deferral Plan. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the trust held assets of $41.3 million and $23.6 million, respectively, of which $7.1 million and $5.2 million were held in Common Shares, to cover its liabilities.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS The Company’s incentive compensation plans include executive cash bonus programs for key members of management, a cash gainsharing program for all other employees and other stock-based compensation plans for key members of management and the non-employee directors. The amounts charged to income for cash incentive compensation plans were $233.5 million in 2003, $169.4 million in 2002 and $128.3 million in 2001. The amount charged to income for time-based and performance-based restricted stock awards was $11.0 million in 2003.

     The Company’s 2003 Incentive Plan and the Company’s 1995 Incentive Plan, which provide for the granting of stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards, to key employees of the Company, has 5 million and 15 million shares authorized, respectively. The 1989 Incentive Plan has expired; however, awards made under the plan prior to expiration are still in effect.

     Beginning in 2003, the Company began issuing restricted stock awards in lieu of stock options. The restricted stock awards were issued as either time-based or performance-based awards. The time-based awards vest in equal installments upon the lapse of a period of time, typically over 3, 4 and 5 year periods. The restriction period must be a minimum of six months and one day. The performance-based awards vest upon the achievement of predetermined performance criteria. The restricted stock awards are expensed pro rata over the vesting period based on the market value of the non-deferred awards at the time of grant, while the deferred awards are based on the current market value at the end of the reporting period.

     Prior to 2003, the Company issued nonqualified stock options, which were granted for periods up to ten years, become exercisable at various dates not earlier than six months after the date of grant, and remain exercisable for specified periods thereafter. All options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the Common Shares on the date of grant. All option exercises are settled in Common Shares.

In addition to the employee incentive plans disclosed above, the Company registered 350,000 Common Shares for the 2003 Directors Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of equity-based incentive awards to non-employee directors of the Company, and 600,000 Common Shares under the 1998 Directors’ Stock Option Plan. During 2003, the Company granted 16,102 time-based restricted stock awards, which vest within one year from the date of grant. During 2002 and 2001, the Company granted options for 23,571 shares and 38,853 shares, respectively, to the non-employee directors. These awards have the same vesting, exercise and contract terms as the employee stock option awards. As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the directors stock options outstanding and exercisable were 311,061 shares, 343,044 shares and 385,473 shares, respectively.

Under SFAS 123, the Company uses the modified Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the options awarded as of the date of grant, including 62,424 options awarded to the non-employee directors during 2002 and 2001, using the following assumptions:

                 
    2002   2001
   
 
Option Term
  6 years   6 years
Annualized Volatility Rate
    39.5 %     37.7 %
Risk-Free Rate of Return
    4.66 %     5.24 %
Dividend Yield
    .25 %     .30 %
Black-Scholes Value
    44.6 %     44.5 %

The Company elected to account for terminations when they occur rather than include an attrition factor into its model.

     In 2002 and 2001, the Company granted options to certain senior managers, which in addition to having a fixed vesting date, contain a provision for accelerated vesting based on achieving predetermined objectives. To calculate the fair value of these options awarded, the Company used an eight-year option term, based on the exercise pattern of this group of employees, as well as the other assumptions listed above. These assumptions produced a Black-Scholes value of 51.5% and 51.1% for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

- 9 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company writes personal automobile and other specialty property-casualty insurance and provides related services throughout the United States. The Company’s Personal Lines segment writes insurance for private passenger automobiles and recreation vehicles, and is generated either by an agency or written directly by the Company. The Personal Lines-Agency channel includes business written by the Company’s network of more than 30,000 independent insurance agencies, brokers and strategic alliance business relationships (other insurance companies, financial institutions, employers and national brokerage agencies). The Personal Lines-Direct channel includes business written through 1-800-PROGRESSIVE, online at progressive.com and on behalf of affinity groups. The Personal Lines segment, which includes both the Agency and Direct channels, are managed at a local level and structured into six regions per channel. Each region has a business leader and a product team, with local product managers at the state level.

     The Company’s Commercial Auto segment writes primary liability, physical damage and other auto-related insurance for automobiles and trucks owned by small businesses. During 2002, the Company began separately reporting the Commercial Auto business from its other businesses and restated all prior periods discussed in this report.

     The Company’s other businesses primarily include directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and providing insurance-related services, primarily processing CAIP business. The other businesses are also managing the wind-down of the Company’s lender’s collateral protection program.

     All revenues are generated from external customers and the Company does not have a reliance on any major customer.

     The Company evaluates segment profitability based on pretax underwriting and service profit (loss). Expense allocations are based on certain assumptions and estimates; stated segment operating results would change if different methods were applied. The Company does not allocate assets, investment income, interest expense or income taxes to operating segments. In addition, the Company does not separately identify depreciation and amortization expense by segment and such disclosure would be impracticable. Companywide depreciation and amortization expense was $89.3 million in 2003, $83.9 million in 2002 and $81.0 million in 2001. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Reporting and Accounting Policies.

-11- LITIGATION

The Company is named as defendant in various lawsuits arising out of its insurance operations. All legal actions relating to claims made under insurance policies are considered by the Company in establishing its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

     In addition, the Company is named as defendant in a number of class action or individual lawsuits. Other insurance companies face many of these same issues. The lawsuits discussed below are in various stages of development. The Company plans to contest these suits vigorously, but may pursue settlement negotiations in appropriate cases. The outcomes of these cases are uncertain at this time. In accordance with GAAP, the Company is only permitted to establish loss reserves for lawsuits when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate its potential exposure (referred to as a loss that is both “probable and estimable” in the discussion below). As to lawsuits that do not satisfy both parts of this GAAP standard, the Company has not established reserves at this time. However, in the event that any one or more of these cases results in a judgment against or settlement by the Company, the resulting liability could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

     As required by the GAAP standard, the Company has established loss reserves for lawsuits as to which the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and estimable. Certain of these cases are mentioned in the discussion below. Based on currently available information, the Company believes that its reserves for these lawsuits are reasonable and that the amounts reserved did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. However, if any one or more of these cases results in a judgment against or settlement by the Company for an amount that is significantly greater than the amount so reserved, the resulting liability could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

     There are currently three putative class action lawsuits challenging the Company’s use of certain automated database vendors to assist in the adjustment of bodily injury claims. Plaintiffs allege that these databases systematically undervalue the claims. The Company does not consider a loss from these cases to be probable and estimable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     There are currently five putative class action lawsuits challenging the Company’s installment fee programs. The Company has successfully defended similar cases in the past and does not consider a loss to be probable and estimable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     There are currently four putative class action lawsuits challenging the Company’s practice of specifying aftermarket (non-original equipment manufacturer) replacement parts in the repair of insured or claimant vehicles. Plaintiffs in these cases generally allege that aftermarket parts are inferior to replacement parts manufactured by the vehicle’s original manufacturer and that the use of such parts fails to restore the damaged vehicle to its “pre-loss” condition, as required by their insurance policies. The Company does not consider a loss from these cases to be probable and estimable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     There are currently four putative class action lawsuits, and one individual bad faith case, pending against the Company in Florida, challenging the legality of the Company’s payment of preferred provider rates on personal injury protection (PIP) claims. The primary issue is whether the Company violated Florida law by paying PIP medical expense claims at preferred provider rates. The Company does not consider a loss to be probable and estimable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     There are currently three putative class action lawsuits, challenging the Company’s use of certain automated database vendors to assist in the evaluation of total loss claims. Plaintiffs allege that these databases systematically undervalue total loss claims to the detriment of insureds. The Company has been engaged in extensive settlement negotiations concerning these cases over a prolonged period of time and has established a loss reserve for these cases.

     There are currently six class action lawsuits challenging certain aspects of the Company’s use of credit information and notice requirements under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. One of these cases is a state-specific class action that was certified in December 2002. A loss reserve has been established for that case. The Company does not consider a loss from the other five cases to be probable and estimable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     The Company is defending four putative class action lawsuits, in various Texas state courts, alleging that the Company is obligated to reimburse insureds for the inherent diminished value of their vehicles under their auto policies. Plaintiffs define

- APP.-B-21 -

 


 

inherent diminished value as the difference between the market value of the insured automobile before an accident and the market value after proper repair. The Supreme Court of Texas has recently ruled that diminished value recovery is not available under the Texas automobile policy. The Company believes that the ruling should result in the termination of the four pending Texas cases, mentioned above. In February 2002, the Company reached an agreement to settle its Georgia diminution of value case for $19.8 million, plus administrative costs. The claims process was completed in early 2003. The Company believes that Georgia law on diminution of value is an anomaly and has successfully defended several of these cases in other jurisdictions.

     The Company is currently defending one federal collective action lawsuit and five state class action lawsuits involving worker classification issues. These lawsuits challenge the Company’s exempt employee classification under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and/or various state laws. In November 2002, the Company reached an agreement to settle its lawsuit relating to the classification of the Company’s California claims employees as exempt workers for purposes of state wage and hour laws for $10 million. The claims process for the California case was completed in early 2003. That class action lawsuit was based on California-specific law. The Company continues to believe that its classification of claim representatives as exempt workers is appropriate under federal and state laws. Accordingly, the Company does not consider a loss from the remaining cases to be probable and estimable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     In July 2002, the Company settled a nationwide class action lawsuit challenging one of the Company’s claim adjustment practices, known as the charging of “ betterment.” Specifically, it was alleged that the Company made improper adjustments for depreciation and physical condition in the adjustment of first party physical damage claims. This settlement has received trial court approval and the claims process was completed in early 2003.

     The Company is currently defending two groups of individual cases, one in Alabama and one in Mississippi, challenging the subsidiaries’ alternative commissions programs. Under these programs, the Company’s independent insurance agents were able to offer its insurance products at different commission levels. In July 2002, the Company reached a nationwide settlement of a class action lawsuit challenging the alternative commission programs. The settlement resulted in the payment of approximately $60 million, including the costs of settlement and attorneys’ fees. The claims process for that settlement was completed in early 2003. The two groups of cases mentioned above are comprised of individuals that opted out of the national class action settlement. The Company has established a loss reserve for these cases.

     The Company is defending one putative class action lawsuit alleging that the Company’s rating practices at renewal are improper. The Company does not consider a loss from this case to be probable and estimable, and is unable to establish a range of loss, if any, at this time.

     There is currently one national putative class action lawsuit brought on behalf of medical providers disputing the legality of the Company’s practice of paying first party medical benefits pursuant to a preferred provider agreement. The Company does not consider a loss to be probable and estimatable, and is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time.

THE PROGRESSIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The consolidated financial statements and the related notes, together with the supplemental information, should be read in conjunction with the following discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

OVERVIEW The Progressive Corporation is a holding company and does not have any revenue producing operations of its own. Its insurance subsidiaries and affiliates (together with The Progressive Corporation, the “Company”) provide personal automobile insurance and other specialty property-casualty insurance and related services throughout the United States. The Company’s Personal Lines segment writes insurance for private passenger automobiles and recreation vehicles through both the independent agency channel and the direct channel. The Company ranks third in the U.S. private passenger auto insurance market, based on net premiums written, with an estimated 7% market share. Although there are over 300 insurance companies/groups with annual premiums greater than $5 million competing in this $150 billion market, the top 10 insurance groups account for approximately 60% of the premiums written. The Company expects that the market will continue to consolidate with the top 15 or 20 companies growing at the expense of the smaller ones, which may not have sufficient resources to invest in the technologies and systems necessary to remain cost competitive. The Company is the number one writer of private passenger auto insurance through independent agencies and the number three writer in the direct channel, based on net premiums written in the United States. The Company also competes in the U.S. commercial auto insurance market where it is the third largest carrier with about 5% market share. The Company’s Commercial Auto segment writes insurance for automobiles and trucks owned by small businesses primarily through the independent agency channel.

     The holding company receives cash through borrowings, equity sales, subsidiary dividends and other transactions, and may use the proceeds to contribute to the capital of its insurance subsidiaries in order to support premium growth, to repurchase its Common Shares, to pay interest on or to retire its outstanding indebtedness, to pay dividends and for other business purposes. In addition, the Company has $1.4 billion of readily marketable securities in a non-insurance subsidiary that can be used to satisfy the holding company’s obligations. The Company did not issue any debt or equity securities during 2003, but repaid $200 million of notes in January 2004. On a consolidated basis, the Company generated positive cash flows of $2.4 billion in 2003, portions of which were used during the year to repurchase 5.0 million Common Shares (average cost of $64.00 per share) and to construct two call centers and an office building, as well as lease additional space to support our growing operations. The Company leased 12 additional Claims Service Center sites during the year. These sites, which are designed to provide end-to-end resolution for auto physical damage losses, are expected to improve efficiency, increase accuracy, reduce rework, improve repair cycle time and provide greater brand distinction. The Company continues to evaluate the operating performance and cost parameters of these sites to validate their effectiveness.

     The Company’s goal is to grow as fast as possible, constrained only by its objective to produce an aggregate calendar year 4% underwriting profit and its ability to provide high quality customer service. The Company had a successful 2003 with a 26% increase in net premiums written, an underwriting profit of 12.7% and net income of $1.26 billion. The Company continued to reap the benefits of the profitable growth phase of this insurance cycle and further benefited from the lowest level of automobile accident frequency experienced by the industry in recent history. Rate adequacy, improved customer retention and new business growth contributed to 2003’s growth. Policies in force grew 19%. The Company performed over 200 rate and program revisions, which were designed to maintain rate adequacy and reflect the most accurate estimate of prospective loss costs based on available information. The Company’s commitment to constrain growth if it is unable to maintain service quality was demonstrated during 2003, when the Company imposed constraints on growth in Texas. During the constraint period, the Company increased the number of employees in the Texas claims organization by approximately 16%, relocated claims managers to Texas, reduced turnover and responded to a sizeable weather-related catastrophe, allowing the Company to relax the constraints by mid-year. Although the Company expects the year-over-year percentage growth to decline in 2004, it believes it is still in a position to grow at a rate which is well in excess of the industry growth rate. Future growth will be constrained by the Company’s most current assessment of claims handling quality. The Company does not

- APP.-B-24 -

 


 

expect claims to hinder growth in 2004 since the Company is comfortable with its claims handling quality, as indicated by the Company’s internal audit of claims files, and increased staff during 2003 to enhance capacity.

     In 2003, the Company achieved underwriting profitability in all of the Personal Lines markets where it writes business, with only five states not meeting or exceeding its 4% underwriting profit objective (these states represented 8% of the Personal Lines premiums written). In Commercial Auto, five states, out of the 42 markets in which we conduct business, were unprofitable (these states represented less than 6% of the Commercial Auto premiums written). The Company will remain focused on maintaining rate stability and allow anticipated increases in trend to bring the Company’s underwriting margins closer to its 4% underwriting profit objective over time.

     The Company realized a modest increase in customer retention year-over-year. The Company continues to focus on retention, but expects external factors, such as the softening of the market, to play a role. Given its strong underwriting margins, the Company is in a position to focus on retaining customers and to introduce new product improvements faster.

     Loss reserves developed favorably during 2003, with 1.5% favorable prior period development. This level of reserving accuracy allows the Company to have solid pricing data, which helps ensure rate adequacy. The majority of the favorable reserve runoff was driven by the assigned risk development (discussed further in the “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” subsection). The Company’s loss ratio also benefited from continued favorable accident frequency. Frequency rates have declined over the past four quarters for all coverages, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of personal injury protection, although the magnitude and sequential direction have varied by coverage. These trends are similar to industry trends. The Company cannot predict if these recent trends will continue and, therefore, will consider past trend in its rate evaluation to ensure rates remain adequate.

     The investment environment in 2003 was more favorable than in 2002. The economy improved, resulting in stronger valuations for stocks, modestly higher U. S. Treasury yields and generally lower risk premiums for non-U. S. Treasury bonds. The Company maintained its asset allocation discipline of investing approximately 15% of the total portfolio in common equities and 85% in fixed-income securities. Both asset classes produced positive total returns, with stocks rebounding sharply. In the fixed-income portfolio, the Company kept its exposure to interest rate risk low and credit quality high. During the year, the fixed-income portfolio duration ranged from just under 3 years to 3.3 years at the end of 2003, and the weighted average credit rating ranged from AA to AA+. Substantial cash flows from operations and positive investment returns contributed to strong portfolio growth. With the interest rates low in all fixed-income sectors, the Company plans to maintain its strategy to hold short-duration, high-quality securities. The Company continues to believe that the underwriting business remains the most attractive place to invest its capital.

FINANCIAL CONDITION HOLDING COMPANY During 2003, the Company repurchased 4,950,362 of its Common Shares. The total cost to repurchase these shares was $316.8 million, with an average cost of $64.00 per share. During the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, the Company repurchased 9,490,694 of its Common Shares at a total cost of $651.4 million (average cost of $56.02, on a split-adjusted basis). The Company did not split its treasury shares when it effected a 3-for-1 stock split in April 2002. See the Incentive Compensation Plans, a supplemental disclosure provided in this Annual Report, for further discussion on the Company’s policy regarding share repurchases.

     During the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, The Progressive Corporation received $596.4 million of dividends from its subsidiaries, net of cash capital contributions made to subsidiaries. The regulatory restrictions on subsidiary dividends are described in Note 7 – Statutory Information, to the financial statements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Company has substantial capital resources and is unaware of any trends, events or circumstances not disclosed herein that are reasonably likely to affect its capital resources in a material way. The Company has the ability to issue $250 million of additional debt securities under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in October 2002 (see discussion below). In addition, the Company is seeking to arrange an emergency liquidity facility by securing an uncommitted line of credit through one or more banks in the amount of approximately $100 million. This credit line is part of a contingency plan to help the Company maintain liquidity in the unlikely event that it will experience simultaneous situations that would affect the Company’s ability to transfer or receive funds.

- APP.-B-25 -

 


 

     During the last three years, the Company issued $750.0 million and repaid $1.3 million of debt securities, excluding the $200 million repaid in January 2004. See Note 4 – Debt for further discussion on the Company’s current outstanding debt. The Company’s debt to total capital (debt plus equity) ratio at December 31, 2003, was 22.8% and decreased to approximately 20% after the January debt repayment.

     In October 2002, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the issuance of up to $650 million of debt securities, which included $150 million of unissued debt securities from a shelf registration filed in November 2001. The registration statement was declared effective in October 2002, and, in November 2002, the Company issued $400.0 million of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2032 under the shelf. The net proceeds of $398.6 million, which included $5.1 million received under a hedge on forecasted transactions that the Company entered into in anticipation of the debt issuance, were used, in part, to retire at their January 2004 maturity, the Company’s outstanding 6.60% Notes in the principal amount of $200 million. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

     In November 2001, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the issuance of up to $500 million of debt securities. The registration statement was declared effective in November 2001, and, in December 2001, the Company issued $350.0 million of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2012 under the shelf. The net proceeds of $365.4 million, which included $18.4 million received under a related hedge transaction, were used for general corporate purposes. The $150 million remaining under the shelf was rolled into the shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in October 2002.

     The Company’s insurance operations create liquidity by collecting and investing premiums from new and renewal business in advance of paying claims. For the three years ended December 31, 2003, operations generated positive cash flows of $5.6 billion, and cash flows are expected to be positive in both the short-term and reasonably foreseeable future. The Company’s investment portfolio is highly liquid and consists substantially of readily marketable, investment-grade securities.

     The Company’s company wide premiums-to-surplus ratio was 2.6 to 1 at December 31, 2003. The Company intends over time to slowly increase operating leverage through a higher rate of net premiums to surplus in its agency, direct and commercial insurance subsidiaries where permitted. The Company believes the trade off between lower financial leverage and increased operating leverage will lead to more efficient capital usage with less risk.

     Based on the information reported above, the Company has substantial capital resources and management believes it has sufficient borrowing capacity and other capital resources to support current and anticipated growth and scheduled debt payments. The Company’s existing debt covenants do not include any rating or credit triggers.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is currently constructing call centers in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Tampa, Florida and an office building in Mayfield Village, Ohio. These three projects are each expected to be completed in 2004 at an estimated total cost of $128 million. These projects will be funded through operating cash flows.

     The Company currently has a total of 19 Claims Service Center sites opened, including the addition of 12 leased sites during the year. During 2003, the Company decided to slow down the pace of the rollout of its Claims Service Center sites to evaluate the operating performance and cost parameters of these sites. The Company plans to add additional sites at the appropriate times and locations.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements Other than the items disclosed in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies regarding open investment funding commitments and operating leases and service agreements, respectively, the Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS UNDERWRITING OPERATIONS Growth The Company’s premiums written, on both a direct and net basis, increased 26% in 2003, as compared to last year. Direct premiums written were $12.2 billion in 2003, $9.7 billion in 2002 and $7.4 billion in 2001. For 2003, 2002 and 2001, net premiums written were $11.9 billion, $9.5 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively. The primary difference between direct and net premiums written is attributable to premiums written under state-mandated involuntary Commercial Auto Insurance Procedures (CAIP), for which the Company retains no loss indemnity risk, and premiums ceded to state-provided reinsurance facilities.

     Net premiums earned, which are a function of the premiums written in the current and prior periods, were recognized into income over the policy term using a mid-month convention. Insurance premiums written in 2004 and forward are being earned using a daily earnings convention. This change to a daily earnings method will improve the precision of the Company’s premium recognition on a monthly basis. For 2003, 2002 and 2001, premiums earned increased 28%, 24% and 13%, respectively.

     Rate adequacy, improved customer retention and new business growth drove the increase in premium growth. On a company wide basis, policies in force increased 19% during 2003 and 16% compounded annually over the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. During 2003, the Company implemented 87 auto rate revisions in various states, with aggregate filed rate changes of approximately a 4% net increase. Despite the strong underwriting margins the Company earned in 2003 (discussed below), the Company does not plan to reduce rates as a primary strategy in 2004, although selective rate reductions may occur in some markets.

     Another important element affecting growth is customer retention. One measure of improvement in customer retention is policy life expectancy, which is an estimate of the average length of time that a policy will remain in force before cancellation or non-renewal. The Company experienced a modest increase in retention in its Personal Lines segment, in both the Agency channel and the Direct channel, during the first half of 2003. During the second half of the year, retention declined slightly, leaving retention levels at year end slightly above those of the prior year. Beginning late in 2003 and into 2004, the Company is seeing retention flattening. Multiple factors affect retention, such as market conditions, competitors achieving rate adequacy and the Company’s mix of business, as well as improvements in processes and customer service. The Company’s primary approach to increasing retention is to drive down the cost of auto insurance to consumers and to improve consumers’ experience with the Company.

Profitability For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company generated net income of $1,255.4 million ($5.69 per share), $667.3 million ($2.99 per share) and $411.4 million ($1.83 per share), respectively. The 88% increase in net income for 2003 was generated by several factors. During 2003, the Company’s underwriting margin improved 5.1 points to 12.7%, compared to 7.6% in 2002 and 4.8% in 2001. For 2003, 2002 and 2001, investment income, on a pretax basis net of investment and interest expenses, was $358.3 million, $369.1 million and $348.7 million, respectively, excluding net realized gains (losses) on securities of $12.7 million, $(78.6) million and $(111.9) million. In addition, during 2003, the Company recognized $31.2 million of interest income earned on an expected tax refund of approximately $58 million. This income tax refund reflects the fact that the Joint Committee of Taxation of Congress had completed its review of a Federal income tax settlement agreed to by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Company, primarily attributable to the amount of loss reserves deductible for tax purposes. In February 2004, the Company received $88.5 million, representing the refund and interest from the IRS.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves Claims costs, the Company’s most significant expense, represent payments made and estimated future payments to be made to or on behalf of its policyholders for incurred losses, including adjusting expenses needed to settle claims. These costs include a loss estimate for future involuntary market assignments, based on current business, under state-mandated automobile insurance programs. Claims costs are defined by loss severity and frequency, and influenced by the rate of inflation. Anticipated changes in these factors are taken into account when the Company establishes premium rates and loss reserves.

     The Company has seen a decline in frequency rates throughout 2003, similar to what has been experienced by the rest of the industry. The Company’s experience may differ from that of the industry due to changes in its mix of business. For example, during 2003, the Company had a shift in the policies in force in its Direct business from nonstandard auto and mid-market to standard and preferred. As a result, the Company analyzes trends to distinguish changes in its experience from external factors versus shifts in the mix of its business.

     The Company’s pure premium (i.e. frequency times severity) trend was notably lower than the industry’s, driven by the Company’s paid severity. Bodily injury severity is highly variable, but changes in severity over the last several quarters were better than the Company had expected. The Company continues to monitor physical damage trend in evaluating its claims handling performance and capacity. The Company is comfortable with its claims handling quality, as indicated by the Company’s internal audit of claims files, and has increased its claims staff to enhance capacity. During the year, the Company hired and trained 3,300 new claims resolution representatives. The Company plans to be diligent in its efforts to recognize changes in trend and costs when setting rates and establishing loss reserves.

     During 2003, the Company experienced $56.1 million of favorable loss reserve development, compared to $3.5 million of unfavorable development in 2002 and $99.0 million of favorable development in 2001. The favorable prior year development recognized in 2003 was primarily attributable to the Company’s assigned risk reserves. The favorable assigned risk development reflects a change in the Company’s estimate of its future operating losses due to business assigned from the New York Automobile Insurance Plan for 2003. Starting in the second half of 2002, the Company began participating in the expanded take-out program as designed by the governing committee of the plan and has managed its writings to maximize the assigned risk credits. The realization of these changes, combined with a lower than expected overall plan size, has resulted in a much lower than expected number of future assignments to the Company from the plan. The Company will continue to study the environment in New York.

     The remaining development for 2003, along with 2002 and 2001, was primarily attributable to the settlement of claims at amounts that differed from the established reserves. The Company continues to increase the analysis intensity of its loss reserves to improve accuracy and further enhance the Company’s understanding of its loss costs. The Company conducts extensive reviews on a monthly basis on portions of its business to help ensure that the Company is meeting its objective of always having reserves that are adequate, with minimal variation. Results would differ if different assumptions were made. See the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the effect of changing estimates. A detailed discussion of the Company’s loss reserving practices can be found in its Report on Loss Reserving Practices, which was released via Form 8-K in June 2003.

     Because the Company is primarily an insurer of motor vehicles, it has limited exposure as an insurer of environmental, asbestos and general liability claims. The Company has established reserves for these exposures in amounts that it believes to be adequate based on information currently known. These exposures are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Underwriting Expenses Policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses as a percentage of premiums earned were 19.9% in 2003, 21.5% in 2002 and 21.7% in 2001. Policy acquisition costs are amortized over the policy period in which the related premiums are earned (see Note 1– Reporting and Accounting Policies). The increase in “other underwriting expenses,” as shown in the 2003 income statement, primarily reflects increases in salaries and other infrastructure costs driven by the growth in the business; 2002 results also included the cost of settling certain class action lawsuits (see Note 11– Litigation).

     During 2003, the Company incurred $12.2 million of guaranty fund assessments, compared to $21.2 million in 2002 and $14.6 million in 2001. The 2003 expense was spread across numerous states and was not attributable to any one particular insolvency, while the 2002 expense was primarily related to the Reliance Insurance Company and Aries Insurance Company insolvencies, and the 2001 expense primarily related to Reliance. The Company believes that any assessment for known insolvencies in excess of its current reserves will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Personal Lines The Company’s Personal Lines business units write insurance for private passenger automobiles and recreation vehicles, and represented 88% of the Company’s total 2003 net premiums written. Personal Lines net premiums written grew 26% in 2003, 29% in 2002 and 15% in 2001; net premiums earned grew 27% in 2003, 22% in 2002 and 11% in 2001. The Personal Lines business is generated either by an agency or written directly by the Company. The Agency channel includes business written by the Company’s network of 30,000 independent insurance agencies, insurance brokers in several states and through strategic alliance business relationships (other insurance companies, financial institutions, employers and national brokerage agencies). Direct business includes business written through 1-800-PROGRESSIVE, online at progressive.com and on behalf of affinity groups.

Net premiums earned

    17 %     22 %     (1 )%

As discussed above, the increase in premiums for both 2003 and 2002 was a result of an increase in new applications, rate increases and strong renewals, while 2001 results reflected a decrease in policies in force offset by rate increases. In general, during 2003, the Agency channel continued to experience strong quoting demand, but saw a slight decline in the conversion rate (i.e. converting a quote to a sale). The Company is currently seeing many competitors in the independent agency channel being more aggressive, as evidenced by their marketing programs. This type of activity is expected as the industry is entering a softer market. The Company remains confident in its strategies of reducing costs to improve its competitive position and creating the most easy to use business model for agents and customers. In addition, the Company continues to test new product designs in both the Agency and Direct channels directed at incremental auto growth.

1Growth rates for 2002 and 2001 were adjusted to exclude the effect of $37.7 million of previously ceded written premiums that were assumed by the Company upon the commutation of a reinsurance agreement that was part of a strategic alliance relationship that was terminated in the first quarter 2001. This strategic alliance relationship was terminated by mutual agreement of the Company and the other party because the business interests of the parties were no longer aligned. In addition, the Company did not envision that this relationship would help the Company in meeting its long-term profitability objectives. The commutation of the reinsurance agreement was the necessary result of terminating the relationship.

The Company believes that continued growth in the Direct business is dependent on (among other factors) price and customer retention, as well as the success of the Company’s advertising and other marketing efforts. Despite an increase in the amount that the Company spent on advertising during 2003, it appears as if some competitors have increased their advertising at a faster pace. As a result, the Company’s quote volume has fallen; however, the Company has experienced an offsetting increase in the conversion rate. In addition, the Company has seen a greater proportion of its business generated via the Internet, as expected, given its advertising approach. The Company is advertising on a national basis and supplements its coverage by local market media campaigns in over 100 designated marketing areas. The Company’s Direct business expense ratio benefited from business mix changes (i.e. a higher percentage of its business came from renewals).

The Company’s Commercial Auto Business unit writes primary liability, physical damage and other auto-related insurance for automobiles and trucks owned by small businesses. In 2003, the Commercial Auto Business represented 11% of the Company’s total net premiums written. Although the Commercial Auto Business differs from Personal Lines auto, both businesses require the same fundamental skills, including disciplined underwriting and pricing, as well as excellent claims service. The Company’s Commercial Auto Business is primarily distributed through the independent agency channel. The Company’s Commercial Auto Business ranked fourth in market share on a national basis based on data reported by A.M. Best Company Inc. in 2002 and estimates that it moved into the third position for 2003.

     The Company is still benefiting from actions taken in 2002, when competitors raised rates and restricted the business they wrote. Commercial Auto also benefited from favorable loss frequency trends during 2003. The Company continues to focus on writing insurance for small business autos and trucks, with the majority of its customers insuring three or fewer vehicles. Approximately 52% of the Company’s 2003 Commercial Auto net premiums written were generated in the light and local commercial auto markets, which includes autos, vans and pick-up trucks used by contractors, such as artisans, landscapers, plumbers, etc., and a variety of other small businesses. The remainder of the business was written in the specialty commercial auto market, which includes dump trucks, logging trucks and other short-haul commercial vehicles. There are many similarities between the Company’s commercial and personal auto business; however, since the commercial auto policies have higher limits (up to $1 million) than personal auto, the Company monitors this segment closely.

Other Businesses The Company’s other businesses, which represented less than 1% of the 2003 net premiums written, principally include writing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and providing insurance-related services, primarily processing CAIP business. The other businesses are also managing the wind-down of the Company’s lender’s collateral protection program, which the Company decided to cease writing as of September 30, 2003. During 2002, the Company lost some key accounts for the lender’s collateral protection products and determined that this business was unable to meet its profitability target. Management believes that exiting this line of business will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The remaining ongoing indemnity products in the Company’s other businesses are continuing to grow profitably.

     The Company processes business for the CAIP plans, which are state-supervised plans serving the involuntary market, in 25 states. The Company processes over 49% of the premiums in the CAIP market and competes with two other providers nationwide. As a service provider, the Company collects fee revenue that is earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the related policies. The Company cedes 100% of the losses to the CAIP plan. To the extent the Company fails to comply with contractual service standards, the Company would be restricted from ceding business to the CAIP plan. The Company has maintained, and plans to continue to maintain, compliance with these standards. Any changes in the Company’s participation as a CAIP service provider would not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Litigation The Company is named as a defendant in a number of putative class action lawsuits, such as those alleging damages as a result of the Company’s use of after-market parts, total loss evaluation methodology, use of credit in underwriting, installment fee programs, using preferred provider rates for payment of personal injury protection claims or for paying first party medical benefits, worker classification issues, use of third-party vendors to analyze the propriety of payment of medical bills, offering alternative commission programs, rating practices at renewal or the alleged diminution of value to vehicles which are involved in accidents, and cases challenging other aspects of the Company’s claims and marketing practices and business operations. Other insurance companies face many of these same issues. During 2002, the Company settled several long-standing class action lawsuits relating to diminution of value, handling of betterment in claim settlements, use of alternative agent commissions programs and a California-specific labor classification claim. See Note 11 – Litigation for a more detailed discussion.

3The Company had net unsettled security acquisitions of $75.1 million and $112.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. December 31, 2003 and 2002 totals include $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of securities in the portfolio of a consolidated, non-insurance subsidiary of the holding company; composition is similar to the consolidated portfolio.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s portfolio had $643.4 million in net unrealized gains, compared to $249.9 million at year-end 2002. The increase was the result of significant equity market returns during 2003.

Fixed-Income Securities The fixed-maturity and short-term securities, as reported on the balance sheets, were comprised of the following:

1Includes securities with maturities of 10 years or greater. Asset-backed securities are reported at their weighted average maturity based upon their projected cash flows. All other securities that do not have a single maturity date are reported at average maturity. See Note 2 – Investments.

2Non-investment-grade fixed-maturity securities offer the Company higher returns and added diversification but may involve greater risks, often related to creditworthiness, solvency and relative liquidity of the secondary trading market.

- APP.-B-32 -


 

     The fixed-income portfolio includes fixed-maturity securities, preferred stocks, and short-term investments. A primary exposure of the fixed-income portfolio is interest rate risk, which is managed by restricting the portfolio’s duration to between 1.8 to 5 years. The distribution of maturities and convexity (i.e. a measure of the change in duration due to the change in interest rates) are monitored on a regular basis. Interest rate risk includes the change in value resulting from movements in the underlying market rates of debt securities held. The fixed-income portfolio had a duration of 3.3 years at December 31, 2003, compared to 3.2 years at December 31, 2002. Excluding the unsettled securities transactions, the allocation to fixed-income securities at December 31, 2003, was 84.2% of the portfolio, within the Company’s normal range of variation; at December 31, 2002, the allocation was 86.8%.

     Also included in fixed-income securities are $3,042.6 million of asset-backed securities. These asset-backed securities are comprised of residential mortgage-backed ($775.7 million), commercial mortgage-backed ($1,175.2 million) and other asset-backed ($1,091.7 million) securities, with a total duration of 2.6 years and a weighted average credit quality of AA+. The largest components of the other asset-backed securities are automobile receivable loans ($488.0 million) and home equity loans ($364.4 million). Substantially all of the asset-backed securities are liquid with available market quotes and contain no residual interest.

     Another exposure related to the fixed-income portfolio is credit risk, which is managed by maintaining a minimum average portfolio credit quality rating of A+, as defined by nationally recognized rating agencies, and limiting non-investment-grade securities to a maximum of 5% of the fixed-income portfolio. Concentration in a single issuer’s bonds and preferred stocks is limited to no more than 6% of the Company’s shareholders’ equity, except for U.S. Treasury and agency bonds; any state’s general obligation bonds cannot exceed 12% of shareholders’ equity.

The quality distribution of the fixed-income portfolio was as follows:

     Common equities, which generally have greater risk and volatility of market value than fixed-maturity securities, have a target allocation of 15% and may range from 0 to 25% of the investment portfolio. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, excluding the net unsettled security transactions, these securities comprised 15.8% and 13.2%, respectively, of the total portfolio. Common stocks are managed externally to the Russell 1000 index with an anticipated annual tracking error of +/- 50 basis points. The results of the common stock portfolio relative to the benchmark index are noted in the table below:

1Includes gross dividends reinvested and price appreciation/depreciation.

2The market value at December 31, 2003, includes appreciation/depreciation in the value of the underlying securities as well as dividend income received and net cash infusions/withdrawals made during the year needed to maintain the Company’s 85%/15% fixed income to equity allocation.

3This broad-based index, which is used for comparative benchmarking, incepted December 31, 1986, with a base valuation of $130. Market values exclude dividends reinvested.

The Company’s common equity allocation is intended to enhance the return of and provide diversification for the total portfolio. To maintain high correlation with the Russell 1000, the Company holds approximately 700 of the common stocks comprising the index. Individual holdings are measured based on their contribution to the correlation with the index. For 2003, the equity-indexed portfolio returns were outside the anticipated annual tracking error. The variance was partially due to rebalancing the portfolio in response to tax initiated strategies during the year.

     Other risk investments include private equity investments and limited partnership interests in private equity and mezzanine investment funds which have no off-balance-sheet exposure or contingent obligations, except for the $28.4 million open funding commitments discussed in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies. The Company is no longer initiating investments in these types of securities and expects to continue reducing its current holdings over time.

     The Company monitors the value at risk of the fixed-income and equity portfolios, as well as the total portfolio, to evaluate the potential maximum expected loss. For further information, see the Quantitative Market Risk Disclosures, a supplemental schedule provided in this Annual Report.

Trading Securities Trading securities are entered into for the purpose of near-term profit generation. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not hold any trading securities. Net realized gains on trading securities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $.1 million, compared to $0 in 2002 and net realized losses of $6.5 million in 2001. Trading securities are not material to the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations and are reported within the available-for-sale portfolio rather than separately disclosed.

Derivative Instruments From time to time, the Company invests in derivative instruments, which are primarily used to manage the risks and enhance the returns of the available-for-sale portfolio. This is accomplished by modifying the basis, duration, interest rate, credit or foreign currency characteristics of the portfolio, hedged securities or hedged cash flows. The Company had no risk management derivatives in 2003 and 2002, and recognized net losses of $2.7 million in 2001. During 2002 and 2001, the Company entered into hedges on forecasted transactions in anticipation of its debt issuances. See Note 2 – Investments and Note 4 – Debt for further discussion of these hedges. The Company had no open positions at December 31, 2003.

     Derivative instruments may also be used for trading purposes or classified as trading derivatives due to the characteristics of the transaction. At December 31, 2003, the Company had two derivatives classified as trading, which are not included in the trading securities discussed above. The Company sold default protection on two credit issuers using credit default swaps and matched the notional value of these positions with Treasury securities with an equivalent principal value and maturity to replicate a cash bond position. These derivatives generated net realized gains of $4.9 million in 2003. See Note 2 – Investments for further discussion.

     The Company had no derivatives at December 31, 2002 and one credit default protection instrument used for trading purposes at December 31, 2001. These derivatives used for trading purposes generated net realized gains (losses) of $(.1) million in 2002 and $1.9 million in 2001, and were included in the available-for-sale portfolio. For all derivative positions, net cash requirements are limited to changes in market values that may vary based upon changes in interest rates and other factors. Exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying value; collateral may be required to limit credit risk.

Investment Income Recurring investment income (interest and dividends) increased 2% in 2003, 10% in 2002 and 7% in 2001. The Company is reporting total returns to reflect more accurately the management philosophy of the portfolio and evaluation of the investment results. The fully taxable equivalent (FTE) total return includes recurring investment income, net realized gains (losses) on securities and changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities. The Company reported the following investment results:

                           
      2003   2002   2001
     
 
 
Pretax recurring investment book yield
    4.2 %     5.1 %     5.6 %

    8.7 %     5.5 %     5.9 %

Realized Gains/Losses Gross realized gains of $134.9 million and $206.7 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, were primarily the result of the Company’s sales of fixed-maturity securities with favorable yield, sector or interest rate movements. The gross realized losses of $122.2 million and $285.3 million during 2003 and 2002, respectively, were primarily the result of write-downs in securities determined to have an other-than-temporary decline in market value and rebalancing of the common stock portfolio to the Russell 1000 index during the year. During 2001, both the gross realized gains of $187.0 million and the gross realized losses of $298.9 million, primarily related to the Company’s sales of common stocks, reflecting management’s decision to index the entire equity portfolio to the Russell 1000 rather than the Russell 3000 index.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment — Included in the net realized gains (losses) on securities for the years ended 2003, 2002 and 2001, are write-downs on securities determined to have an other-than-temporary decline in market value. The Company continually monitors its portfolio for pricing changes which might indicate potential impairments and, on a quarterly basis, performs a detailed review of securities with unrealized losses based on predetermined criteria. In such cases, changes in market value are evaluated to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer, such as financial conditions, business prospects or other factors or (ii) market-related factors, such as interest rate increases or equity market declines.

     Fixed-income and equity securities with declines attributable to issuer-specific fundamentals are reviewed to identify all available evidence, circumstances and influences to estimate the potential for and timing of recovery of the investment’s impairment. An other-than-temporary impairment loss is deemed to have occurred when the potential for, and timing of, recovery does not satisfy the conditions set forth in the current accounting guidance (see Critical Accounting Policies, Other-than-Temporary Impairment for further discussion).

     For fixed-income investments with unrealized losses due to market or industry-related declines where the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investment for the period of time necessary to recover a significant portion of the investment’s original principal and interest obligation, declines are not deemed to qualify as other than temporary. The Company’s policy for equity securities with market-related declines is to recognize impairment losses on individual securities with losses that are not reasonably expected to be recovered under historical market conditions when the security has been in such loss position for three consecutive quarters.

     When a security in the Company’s investment portfolio has an unrealized loss in market value that is deemed to be other than temporary, the Company reduces the book value of such security to its current market value, recognizing the decline as a realized loss in the income statement. All other unrealized gains or losses are reflected in shareholders’ equity. The write-down activity for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

Repurchase Transactions During 2003, the Company entered into repurchase commitment transactions, whereby the Company loans Treasury or U.S. Government agency securities to accredited brokerage firms in exchange for cash equal to the fair market value of the securities. These internally managed transactions are typically overnight arrangements. The cash proceeds are invested in AA or higher financial institution paper with yields that exceed the Company’s interest obligation on the borrowed cash. The Company is able to borrow the cash at low rates since the securities loaned are in short supply. The Company’s interest rate exposure does not increase or decrease since the borrowing and investing periods match. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company’s largest single outstanding balance of repurchase commitments was $1,169.0 million, which was open for one business day, with an average daily balance of $524.3 million for the year. During 2002, the largest single outstanding balance of repurchase commitments was $1,271.6 million, which was open for one business day, with an average daily balance of $549.8 million for the year. The Company had no open repurchase commitments at December 31, 2003 and 2002. The Company earned income of $2.1 million, $2.8 million and $4.1 million on repurchase commitments during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions when preparing its financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates in a variety of areas. The two areas that the Company views as most critical with respect to the application of estimates and assumptions are the establishment of its loss reserves and its method of determining impairments in its investment portfolio.

LOSS AND LAE RESERVES Loss and loss adjustment expense (LAE) reserves represent the Company’s best estimate of its ultimate liability for losses and LAE that occurred prior to the end of any given accounting period but have not yet been paid. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $4.6 billion of gross loss and LAE reserves, which represents management’s best estimate of ultimate loss. As a result of the detailed product review processes the Company performs (discussed below), the Company does not develop aggregate countrywide ranges for its loss reserves. The Company’s carried reserve balance assumes an increase in the loss and LAE severity for both personal auto liability and commercial auto liability, which represent over 97% of the Company’s total reserves. These estimates are influenced by many variables that are difficult to quantify, such as medical costs, jury awards, etc., which will influence the final amount of the claim settlement. That, coupled with changes to internal claims practices, changes in the legal environment and state regulatory requirements, requires significant judgment in the reserve setting process.

     The Company reviews its reserves at a combined state, product and line coverage level (the “products”) on an annual, semiannual or quarterly time frame, depending on size of the products or emerging issues relating to the products. By reviewing the reserves at such a detailed level, the Company has the ability to identify and measure variances in trend by state, product and line coverage that would not otherwise be seen on a consolidated basis. The Company’s actuarial department completes six different estimates of needed reserves, three based on paid data and three based on incurred data, to determine if a reserve change is required. In the event of a wide variation between results generated by the different projections, the actuarial group will further analyze the data using additional techniques.

     In analyzing the ultimate accident year loss experience, the Company’s actuarial staff reviews in detail the frequency (number of losses per earned car year), severity (dollars of loss per each claim), and the average premium (dollars of premium per earned car year). The loss ratio, a primary measure of loss experience, is equal to the product of frequency times severity divided by the average premium. The average premium for personal and commercial auto businesses are known and therefore are not estimated. The projection of frequency for these lines of business is generally very stable because injured parties generally report their claims within a reasonably short time period after the accident. The actual frequency experienced will vary depending on the change in mix by class of drivers written by the Company, but the accuracy of the projected level is generally reliable. The severity experienced by the Company, which is much more difficult to estimate, is affected by changes in underlying costs, such as medical costs, jury verdicts, etc. In addition, severity will change relative to the change in the Company’s mix of business by limit.

     During 2003, the Company experienced exceptional growth, which creates additional uncertainty in estimating the ultimate loss costs. Contributing to this uncertainty are changes in the Company’s limit mix and mix of business by state or jurisdiction. To address this risk of uncertainty, the Company’s actuarial staff expanded their scope of reserve reviews significantly in 2002 and by approximately another 10% in 2003 to accommodate reviews for high and low policy limits within the reserving product level. Although this increased focus on needed reserves by policy limit was already part of the process for the personal auto business, even more attention is now given to studies regarding losses by policy limit for the commercial auto business, as the average limit of this business is much higher than personal auto.

     The Company’s goal is to ensure that total reserves are adequate to cover all loss costs while sustaining minimal variation from the time reserves are initially established until losses are fully developed. During 2003, the Company made no significant change to the estimate of loss reserves recorded in prior years. The following table shows how the Company has performed against this goal over the last ten years.

The chart represents the development of the property-casualty loss and LAE reserves for 1993 through 2002. The reserves are re-estimated based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year and are increased or decreased as more information becomes known about the frequency and severity of claims for individual years. The cumulative development represents the aggregate change in the estimates over all prior years. Since the characteristics of the loss reserves for both personal auto and commercial auto are similar, the Company reports development in the aggregate rather than by segment.

1Represents loss and LAE reserves net of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses at the balance sheet date.

2Cumulative development ÷ loss and LAE reserves.

3In 1994, based on a review of its total loss reserves, the Company eliminated its $71.0 million “supplemental reserve.”

     The Company experienced continually favorable reserve development from 1993 through 1998, primarily due to the decreasing bodily injury severity. During this period, the Company’s bodily injury severity decreased each quarter when compared to the same quarter the prior year. This period of decreasing severity for the Company was not only longer than that generally experienced by the industry, but also longer than any time in the Company’s history. The reserves established as of the end of each year assumed the current accident year’s severity to increase over the prior accident year’s estimate. As the experience continued to be evaluated at later dates, the realization of the decreased severity resulted in favorable reserve development.

     The Company believes that the assumption with the highest likelihood of change that would materially affect the carried loss and LAE reserves is the estimated severity for the 2003 accident year. If the Company were to change its estimate of severity by 1% for the current accident year, the 2003 required reserves for personal auto liability and commercial auto liability would change by approximately $35 million and $6 million, respectively.

     Because the Company is primarily an insurer of motor vehicles, it has minimal exposure as an insurer of environmental, asbestos and general liability claims.

     For a more detailed discussion on the Company’s loss reserving practices and how loss reserves affect the Company’s financial results, see the Company’s Report on Loss Reserving Practices, which was filed in June 2003 via Form 8-K and is available on the Company’s Web site at progressive.com/investors.

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and Staff Accounting Bulletin 59, “Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities,” require companies to perform periodic reviews of individual securities in their investment portfolios to determine whether a decline in the value of a security is other than temporary. A review for other-than-temporary impairment (OTI) requires companies to make certain forward-looking judgments regarding the materiality of the decline, its effect on the financial statements, and the probability, extent and timing of a valuation recovery, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security. The scope of this review is broad and requires a forward-looking assessment of the fundamental characteristics of a security, as well as market-related prospects of the issuer and its industry.

     Pursuant to these requirements, the Company assesses valuation declines to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer, such as financial conditions, business prospects or other factors or (ii) market-related factors, such as interest rates or equity market declines. This evaluation reflects the Company’s assessments of current conditions, as well as predictions of uncertain future events, that may have a material impact on the financial statements related to security valuation.

     For fixed-income investments with unrealized losses due to market- or industry-related declines, the declines are not deemed to qualify as other than temporary where the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investment for the period of time necessary to recover a significant portion of the investment’s original principal and interest obligation. The Company’s policy for equity securities with market-related declines is to recognize impairment losses on individual securities with losses that are not reasonably expected to be recovered under historical market conditions when the security has been in a loss position for three consecutive quarters.

     When persuasive evidence exists that causes the Company to evaluate a decline in market value to be other than temporary, the Company reduces the book value of such security to its current market value, recognizing the decline as a realized loss in the income statement. All other unrealized gains (losses) are reflected in shareholders’ equity.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s total portfolio had $41.7 million in gross unrealized losses, compared to $160.5 million in gross unrealized losses in 2002. The decrease in the gross unrealized losses was the result of the positive returns in the equity portfolio of 28.6% in 2003, compared to negative returns of 21.5% in 2002.

     The following table stratifies the gross unrealized losses in the Company’s portfolio at December 31, 2003, by duration in a loss position and magnitude of the loss as a percentage of book value. The individual amounts represent the additional OTI the Company could have recognized in the income statement if its policy for market-related declines was different than that stated above.

1Amounts represent unrealized loss positions in the Company’s other risk investments. Due to the nature of these investments, the Company employs a fundamental review to impairment analysis. At this time, there is no evidence of OTI as it relates to these investments.

- APP.-B-40 -


 

     For example, if the Company decided to write down all securities in an unrealized loss position for one year or longer where the securities decline in value exceeded 15%, the Company would recognize an additional $4.8 million of OTI losses in the income statement. These OTI losses would be $3.5 million if the threshold for market decline was greater than 25%.

     The $14.4 million of gross unrealized losses that have been impaired for one year or longer are split almost evenly between the fixed-income and common equity portfolios. None of these securities are deemed to have any fundamental issues that would lead the Company to believe that they were other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the fixed-income securities to maturity, and will do so, as long as their relative value is greater than comparable investment opportunities with similar investment risk characteristics. The Company will retain the common stocks to maintain correlation to the Russell 1000 index as long as the portfolio and index correlation remain similar. If the Company’s strategy were to change and these securities were impaired, the Company would recognize a write down in accordance with its stated policy.

     Since total unrealized losses are already a component of the Company’s shareholders’ equity, any recognition of additional OTI losses would have no effect on the Company’s comprehensive income or book value.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements in this Annual Report that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those discussed herein. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, uncertainties related to estimates, assumptions and projections generally; inflation and changes in economic conditions (including changes in interest rates and financial markets); the accuracy and adequacy of the Company’s pricing and loss reserving methodologies; pricing competition and other initiatives by competitors; the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for requested rate changes and the timing thereof; the effectiveness of the Company’s advertising campaigns; legislative and regulatory developments; the outcome of litigation pending or that may be filed against the Company; weather conditions (including the severity and frequency of storms, hurricanes, snowfalls, hail and winter conditions); changes in driving patterns and loss trends; acts of war and terrorist activities; court decisions and trends in litigation and health care and auto repair costs; and other matters described from time to time by the Company in releases and publications, and in periodic reports and other documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results may therefore appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods.

QUANTITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

(unaudited — not covered by report of independent auditors)

Quantitative market risk disclosures are only presented for market risk categories when risk is considered material. Materiality is determined based on the fair value of the financial instruments at December 31, 2003, and the potential for near-term losses from reasonably possible near-term changes in market rates or prices.

Exposure to risk is represented in terms of changes in fair value due to selected hypothetical movements in market rates. Bonds and preferred stocks are individually priced to yield to the worst case scenario. State and local government obligations, including lease deals and super sinkers, are assumed to hold their prepayment patterns. Asset-backed securities are priced assuming deal specific prepayment scenarios, considering the deal structure, prepayment penalties, yield maintenance agreements and the underlying collateral. Over 95% of the preferred stocks have mechanisms that are expected to provide an opportunity to liquidate at par.

The model represents the estimated value of the Company’s common equity portfolio given a +/- 10% change in the market, based on the common stock portfolio’s weighted average beta of .95. The beta is derived from recent historical experience, using the S&P 500 as the market surrogate. The historical relationship of the common stock portfolio’s beta to the S&P 500 is not necessarily indicative of future correlation, as individual company or industry factors may affect price movement. Betas are not available for all securities. In such cases, the change in market value reflects a direct +/- 10% change; the number of securities without betas is less than 3%, and the remaining 97% of the equity portfolio is indexed to the Russell 1000.

As an additional supplement to the sensitivity analysis, the Company presents summarized estimates of the Value-at-Risk (VaR) of the fixed-income and equity portfolios for the following quarterly periods:

% of portfolio
    (1.3 )%     (1.7 )%     (1.6 )%     (1.0 )%     (1.0 )%

     The model results represent the maximum expected loss in a one month period at a 95% confidence level. The results are based on 10,000 paths generated using Monte Carlo methodology. Fixed-income securities are priced off simulated term structures, capturing the path-dependency of instruments with embedded options. Equities are priced off a 10 factor model; risk factors include both macroeconomics and industry segment exposures. The variance/covariance matrix is estimated using the last two years (rolling) of market data and is exponentially-weighted, making the model especially sensitive to recent volatility. The VaR of the total investment portfolio is less than the sum of the two components (fixed income and equity) due to the benefit of diversification.

     The VaR exposure of the total investment portfolio increased 30 basis points from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003, primarily reflecting a higher correlation among the securities, thereby reducing the diversification benefit.

TRADING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company did not have any trading securities. During 2003 and 2002, net activity of trading securities was not material to the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. For 2003, the Company realized $.1 million of net gains on trading securities, compared to $0 in 2002.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

(unaudited — not covered by report of independent auditors)

The Company believes that equity compensation awards align management interests with those of shareholders. In 1989, the Company began awarding non-qualified stock options (NQSO) annually to key employees and to directors of the Company as the equity component of total compensation. In 2003, the Company discontinued NQSO awards in favor of annual restricted stock (RS) grants. The Company believes that restricted stock, which provides voting rights, dividend payments, an indefinite life and unleveraged returns, represents a superior tool in aligning interests.

     The Company recognizes investor concerns about the dilutive effects of equity-based compensation. Beginning January 1, 2001, the Company initiated a policy of share repurchases to neutralize the effect of dilution. Management’s goal is to keep the outstanding share count relatively stable.

     The following table shows the Common Share activity since this policy was established (all amounts are presented on a post-split basis):

                                           
                              Common

    220.6       .6       6.6       (11.4 )     216.4  
 
           
     
     
         

As of January 1, 2004, there were 9.0 million options outstanding with 6.3 million options currently eligible for exercise, including .3 million options for directors. On January 1, 2004, 2.2 million options became exercisable. The final expiration date for these outstanding options is December 31, 2011, with the exception of the directors’ options, which expire April 2012.

     The Company anticipates that approximately 8.6 million of the currently outstanding options will have been exercised by the expiration date. The difference between options currently outstanding and total projected exercises represents an estimate of the Company’s historical experience of option cancellations. Actual exercises can and will vary based on a number of factors, including variation in the market price of Progressive stock. Forecasted exercises are based on management assumptions derived from historical experience.

    565,750     $ 65.80  
 
 
   
     
 

1Includes 152,593 shares deferred pursuant to The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

The employee time-based awards typically vest in equal installments over three, four and five year periods. The performance-based awards vest upon the attainment of preestablished profitability and growth objectives. The directors’ awards vest within a one-year period. As of December 31, 2003, the remaining weighted average vesting period for our total unvested awards is 2.49 years.

     The Company recognizes compensation expense on a pro rata basis over the vesting period for all non-deferred awards based on the market value at the date of grant. The compensation expense on the deferred awards is based on the current market value at the end of each period. During 2003, the Company recognized $11.0 million of compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards.
