Property and casualty property combined ratio measures underwriting losses and expenses relative to earned premium for Progressive's property business.

Progressive reported a 65.6 property combined ratio for June 2026.

One-time actuarial effects matter

Progressive said its property Loss/LAE and combined ratios included a favorable 11.7-point impact from an actuarial methodology process change.

That makes the reported ratio unsuitable for a simple run-rate comparison without the adjustment context.

Catastrophe losses are another separate driver

Property underwriting is particularly exposed to catastrophe volatility.

Read it with net catastrophe loss ratio, Commercial Lines combined ratio, and the generic combined ratio.

Primary source: Progressive June 2026 results filed with the SEC.
