NEW YORK, Jan. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL
UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR
CHOICE.
According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or
failed to disclose that the reason for the sudden spike in its auto claims frequency, which defendants claimed was due to external
events beyond the Allstate’s control, was actually the result of Allstate’s growth in its auto policy business through higher risk
drivers. On August 3, 2015, Allstate reported disappointing second quarter 2015 financial results, including a third consecutive
quarter of increased auto claims frequency, a 57% decline in operating income, and operating earnings per share that were $0.34
below analysts’ consensus estimate. On that same day, Allstate’s CEO stated that the lower quarterly profit was “driven by a
deterioration in auto insurance margins” and explained that “[a]uto insurance margins decreased as higher claim frequency and
severity more than offset average auto insurance price increases.” On this news, shares of Allstate fell $7.04 per share to close
at $62.34 per share on August 4, 2015.
