Allstate Corporation revealed that for the month of June, it has estimated catastrophe losses of US$204 million, pre-tax (US$161 million, after tax).

The insurer said that for last month, catastrophe losses comprised 10 events with an estimated cost of US$181 million, pre-tax (US$143 million, after tax), plus unfavourable prior period reserve re-estimates.

Allstate noted that three severe wind and hail weather events – which primarily impacted the Canadian province of Alberta and the US states of Texas and Pennsylvania – accounted for about 50% of June’s estimated catastrophe losses.

The hailstorm event that rocked parts of Alberta – particularly the city of Calgary – on June 13 has been estimated to have caused nearly $1.2 billion in insured losses. The event has been declared Canada’s fourth costliest natural disaster.
