Summary

Progressive disclosed its 2026-2027 catastrophe reinsurance structure alongside a routine quarterly dividend declaration. The reinsurance program provides substantial protection against severe weather events, with up to $2.19 billion in coverage for a first Florida hurricane after a $75 million retention, and $1.85 billion for events outside Florida after a $300 million retention.

The lower Florida retention reflects the state's elevated hurricane risk. An additional aggregate program covers $300 million in cumulative losses from multiple smaller events throughout the year. The disclosure matters because catastrophe reinsurance is a critical capital management tool for property insurers.

Progressive's modeling estimates a 1-in-100-year event at $1.325 billion in gross losses, well within the per-occurrence coverage limits. The company also added a new $150 million reinsurance layer for its boat insurance product. The $0.10 quarterly dividend continues Progressive's regular capital return to shareholders, payable in October to shareholders of record October 1.
