Safeco (NYSE: SAF) today reported net income for third-quarter 2007 of $194.4 million, or $1.93 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $255.7 million, or $2.20 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. Third quarter results last year included $79.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in after-tax gains on the sales of real estate.

1

Operating earnings – which exclude the impact of after-tax net realized investment gains, after-tax gains on sales of real estate, the contributions to the Safeco Insurance Foundation and losses on debt repurchases—were $152.6 million for the quarter, compared with $170.3 million in the same prior year quarter – a decrease of 10.4 percent. Operating earnings per diluted share of $1.51 were up 2.7 percent from the $1.47 per diluted share reported a year ago. After-tax net realized investment gains for the quarter were $91.6 million, compared with net realized investment gains of $25.2 million in the same period of 2006. After-tax net realized investment gains for the third quarter include a gain of $57.9 million resulting from the contribution of equity securities to the Safeco Insurance Foundation, compared with a gain of $29.2 million in the prior year quarter resulting from a 2006 contribution to the foundation.

“Consistent performance is the keynote as we remain on plan for the year,” said Paula Rosput Reynolds, Safeco president and chief executive officer. “It’s a credit to our agents and employees that Safeco continues to post steady growth and profitability.”

Safeco’s overall property and casualty (P&C) combined ratio was 92.5 for the quarter versus 88.7 in the same quarter last year. (Combined ratio is the percentage of each premium dollar spent on claims and expenses — the lower the ratio, the better the performance.)

Pretax catastrophe losses for the third quarter were $42.0 million, compared with $22.5 million a year ago.

Safeco’s annualized return on equity (ROE) for the third quarter was 20.2 percent. Annualized operating ROE – measured using operating earnings and excluding from equity unrealized gains or losses on bonds – was 16.2 percent for the quarter.

Net written premiums were $1.45 billion for the third quarter, a 1.5 percent increase from the year-ago period. Net earned premiums were $1.41 billion for the quarter, a 2.0 percent increase compared with the prior year.

P&C pretax net investment income for the quarter was $111.4 million, a decrease of 7.9 percent compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the shift in portfolio strategy over the past year toward more tax-exempt municipal bonds. P&C after-tax net investment income was $89.9 million, a decrease of 3.4 percent compared with year-ago levels. The increased investment in tax-exempt municipal bonds improved the average after-tax yield on the investment portfolio.

Safeco Personal Insurance

Safeco Auto reported a quarterly pretax underwriting profit of $16.3 million, compared with $80.1 million in the same period last year. Auto’s combined ratio was 97.5 in the quarter, compared with 88.2 a year ago. Third-quarter 2007 results included nominal favorable prior-year reserve development, compared with $22.6 million of favorable prior-year reserve development due to lower-than-expected bodily injury severity in the year-ago quarter.

Auto net written premiums declined 3.1 percent in the quarter compared with third-quarter 2006. Policies in force (PIF) decreased 2.5 percent in the third quarter from year-ago levels, though Preferred Auto PIF was up 0.5 percent. Auto new-business policies issued were flat with the same quarter in 2006, and retention of 80.4 percent was 1.1 point higher than a year ago. Preferred Auto new-business policies issued increased 11.9 percent, and Preferred Auto retention improved slightly to 84.8 percent.

“We’ve taken steps to address Auto and anticipate better performance in the next 6-12 months,” said Mike Hughes, Safeco executive vice president of Insurance Operations. “Those steps include taking rates up to bring our combined ratio back in line with our long-term target of 96.”

Safeco Property, which includes homeowners, landlord protection and related coverages, produced a quarterly pretax underwriting profit of $19.8 million, compared with $53.1 million in the same period a year ago. Property’s combined ratio was 91.7 in the quarter, compared with 76.8 in the same quarter of 2006. The third-quarter 2007 results included $28.4 million in pretax catastrophe losses, primarily from Midwest hailstorms, compared with $17.2 million a year ago. Third-quarter 2006 results included $12.8 million of favorable prior-year reserve development.

Property net written premiums increased 5.1 percent in the quarter compared with a year ago, and PIF was up 7.6 percent from prior-year levels.

New-business policies increased 9.0 percent compared with the same period last year, and homeowners retention increased to 86.1 percent from 84.3 percent.

Safeco Business Insurance

Safeco Business Insurance (SBI) reported a pretax underwriting profit of $51.0 million in the third quarter, compared with $37.1 million for the same period in 2006. The third-quarter combined ratio was 87.2, compared with 90.1 a year ago.

3

SBI Regular – Safeco’s core commercial line serving small- to mid-sized businesses – reported a pretax underwriting profit of $38.1 million in the quarter, compared with $28.7 million for the same period last year. The SBI Regular combined ratio was 88.5 in the third quarter, compared with 90.8 in the same period last year. Third-quarter results included $3.5 million in pretax catastrophe losses, compared with $0.8 million in the prior-year period. Favorable prior-year reserve development of $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2007 was primarily the result of lower-than-expected loss experience in workers compensation compared with $3.0 million for lower-than-expected loss experience in general liability in the year-ago quarter.

SBI Regular net written premiums during the third quarter were up 6.9 percent compared with the same period last year. The increase reflected solid growth in the business of 4.8 percent, as well as a 2.1 percent impact of the revision to estimate audits of premium, which reduced net written premiums by $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. SBI Regular PIF was up 3.0 percent compared with year-ago levels. New-business policies issued for the quarter increased 3.7 percent compared with the same quarter last year, and the retention rate of existing customers increased to 81.9 percent, up from 79.0 percent a year ago.

“Our success in small commercial reflects the payback of our investment in a single platform, running fully automated underwriting models across all product lines. No matter where the office or the experience of the user, Safeco is the first choice for ease of use,” said Hughes.

Safeco’s Special Accounts Facility, which writes selected large-commercial accounts and three specialty commercial programs, reported a pretax underwriting profit of $12.9 million in the quarter. This compares with an $8.4 million pretax underwriting profit in last year’s third quarter. Special Accounts Facility’s combined ratio was 80.6 in the period, compared with 86.7 last year. Favorable prior-year reserve development was $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Surety

Safeco Surety reported a record pretax underwriting profit of $40.2 million in the quarter, compared with $19.4 million for the same period in 2006. Surety’s combined ratio was 55.5 for the third quarter, compared with 74.2 a year ago. Favorable prior-year reserve development was $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with unfavorable prior-year reserve development of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter net written premiums grew 16.4 percent compared with the same period last year. Safeco Surety is in its 27^th year of underwriting profitability and has crossed the $100 million profit threshold.

P&C Other

The P&C Other segment, which includes results from operations that Safeco has exited or placed in runoff, including SFIS, had a pretax underwriting loss of $16.5 million in the third quarter, due to a provision for a large liability, compared with a loss of $35.6 million, primarily from prior-year reserve development in the same quarter of 2006. Favorable prior-year reserve development was $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 versus $29.9 million of unfavorable prior-year reserve development in the prior-year quarter.

Corporate and Capital Management

On August 1, Safeco announced that its board of directors had approved the repurchase of up to $750.0 million of the company’s common stock.

During the third quarter, Safeco repurchased a total of 7.9 million shares (or 7.6 percent of its then outstanding common stock) at an average price of $58.89, for a total cost of $465.3 million, under the $750 million authorization and the previous $250 million program.

Through October 26, the company repurchased another 2.2 million shares at an average price of $59.66 (total cost of $130.6 million), leaving approximately $246.3 million remaining under the current repurchase authorization.

On July 16, Safeco called and redeemed $322.3 million of 8.072 percent Debentures at 104 percent of principal for $335.3 million, and retired its $26.3 million Capital Trust equity investment, which was reported as debt in Safeco’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, Safeco paid down $197.3 million of 6.875 percent senior notes that matured on July 15, 2007.

To enhance financial flexibility, Safeco requested and received approval from state regulators for special dividends totaling $700 million, which were paid by the insurance operating subsidiaries to the parent company on August 15, 2007.

On July 27, Safeco funded its Safeco Insurance Foundation with a tax-deductible donation of $60 million in highly appreciated equity securities.

Financial Measures Used by Safeco

(Amounts are in millions, except ratio and per share information.)

How We Report Our Results

Property & Casualty (P&C) businesses include the following segments:

Safeco Personal Insurance (SPI)

Auto

Property

Specialty

Safeco Business Insurance (SBI)

SBI Regular

SBI Special Accounts Facility

Surety

P&C Other

Corporate includes all other activities, primarily the financing of our business activities.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation.

In addition to financial measures presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also use certain non-GAAP financial measures to analyze and report our financial results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, can aid in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, and where these measures are described we provide tables that reconcile the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP measures reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to analyze the revenues of our operations. It excludes net realized investment gains, which can fluctuate significantly and distort a comparison between periods. It also excludes gains on real estate sales. The following table provides a reconciliation of operating revenues to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Total Revenues	$	1,638.2		$	1,659.8		$	4,684.4		$	4,757.2

Safeco Corporation – October 30, 2007 – Page SS-2

Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings per Share

Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use to assess the profitability of our operations. In the determination of Operating Earnings, we exclude net realized investment gains, gains on sales of real estate, contributions to Safeco Insurance Foundation and losses on debt repurchases from Net Income. Net realized investment gains can fluctuate significantly and distort a comparison between periods. The following table reconciles Operating Earnings to Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding—Diluted		100.8			116.3			104.6			119.4

Operating Return on Equity

Operating Return on Equity (see calculation below) is a ratio we calculate using non-GAAP measures. It is calculated by dividing the annualized operating earnings for the most recent quarter by the average shareholders’ equity for the quarter using a simple average of the beginning and ending balances for the quarter, excluding from equity after-tax unrealized investment gains on fixed maturities. This ratio provides management with an additional measure to evaluate our results excluding the unrealized changes in the valuation of our fixed maturities portfolio, which can fluctuate between periods. The following table reconciles operating return on equity to return on equity, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30
(ANNUALIZED)	2007			2006			2007			2006
Net Income	$	194.4		$	255.7		$	563.3		$	663.6

Safeco Corporation – October 30, 2007 – Page SS-3

Net Written Premiums

Net written premiums are a non-GAAP measure representing the amount of premium charged for policies issued with effective dates during the period. Premiums are reflected as revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income as they are earned over the underlying policy period. Net written premiums applicable to the unexpired term of a policy are recorded as unearned premiums on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We view net written premiums as a measure of business production for the period under review and as a leading indicator of net earned premiums. The following table reconciles net written premiums to net earned premiums, the most directly comparable GAAP measure on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Net Earned Premiums	$	1,411.0	$	1,383.4	$	4,172.0	$	4,220.1
Change in Unearned Premiums		36.5		42.3		131.0		83.5
Net Written Premiums	$	1,447.5	$	1,425.7	$	4,303.0	$	4,303.6

Underwriting Profit and Combined Ratios

Underwriting profit is our net earned premiums less our losses from claims, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses on a pretax basis. We view underwriting profit as a critical measure to assess the underwriting effectiveness of our operations and to evaluate the results of our business units. Our investment portfolio is managed separately from our underwriting activities and, therefore, net investment income and net realized investment gains are discussed separately. The following table reconciles underwriting profit to Income before Income Taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP measure on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Combined ratios are a standard industry measure of underwriting performance and are calculated as losses and expenses expressed as a percentage of net earned premiums.

	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30
	2007			2006			2007			2006

Catastrophes are events resulting in losses greater than $0.5 involving multiple claims and policyholders.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current-year presentation.
