Note 7			Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, primarily include Adirondack Insurance Exchange, a New York reciprocal insurer, and New Jersey Skylands Insurance Association, a New Jersey reciprocal insurer (together “Reciprocal Exchanges”). The Reciprocal Exchanges are insurance carriers organized as unincorporated associations. The Company does not own the equity of the Reciprocal Exchanges, which is owned by their respective policyholders.

The Company manages the business operations of the Reciprocal Exchanges and has the power to direct their activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. The Company receives a management fee for the services provided to the Reciprocal Exchanges. In addition, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company holds interests of $123 million in the form of surplus notes included in other liabilities and expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Reciprocal Exchanges that

provide capital to the Reciprocal Exchanges and would absorb any expected losses. The Company is therefore the primary beneficiary. In addition, the Company provides quota share reinsurance on the property business of the Reciprocal Exchanges.

In the event of dissolution, policyholders would share any residual unassigned surplus but are not subject to assessment for any deficit in unassigned surplus of the Reciprocal Exchanges. The assets of the Reciprocal Exchanges can be used only to settle the obligations of the Reciprocal Exchanges and general creditors have no recourse to the Company.

The results of operations of the Reciprocal Exchanges are included in the Company’s Allstate Protection segment and generated $57 million and $114 million of earned premiums for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $41 million and $83 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Total costs and expenses were $85 million and $144 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $55 million and $113 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
