Though the market turmoil forced many companies to take immense write-downs, the worst of the crisis appears to be now behind us. The soft market conditions, along with legislative changes, remain the chief causes for concern for the overall industry at this point. The industry continues to be challenged by the regulatory uncertainties and massive health care restructuring. Though there are signs of economic recovery, its sluggish pace is expected to continue at least through the first half of 2011. Also, structural economies of scale have pushed the industry toward consolidation. Moving forward, maintaining profitability after complying with the regulatory requirements is not expected to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Auto insurer Progressive Corporation’s (PGR) income for October fell to 16 cents per share compared with 22 cents in the year-ago period. Though the company has posted a growth in premium writings, realized gains were lower in the quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. The company, which reports earnings on a monthly basis, disclosed an income of $106.7 million, down from $145.0 million in the prior-year period. Progressive’s net premiums written increased 3% year-over-year to $1.3 billion. The company recorded a pre-tax investment gain of $20.0 million, compared with $88.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Progressive Corp.’s (PGR) third quarter earnings of 40 cents per share were 7 pennies ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents. Investment gains coupled with increase in premiums written have contributed to this result. Also, provisions for income taxes were reduced by $18.0 million in September 2009. As with the improvement in investment market conditions, the company reversed the remaining valuation on its deferred tax asset. Progressive’s net premiums written increased 1% year-over-year to $3.55 billion. The company recorded a pre-tax investment gain of $38.8 million, compared to a loss of $1.4 billion in the year-ago quarter. Combined ratio, which reflects the percentage of premiums paid out as claims and expenses, improved to 92.7% from 95.1% recorded in the year-ago period.

The company, which reports earnings on a monthly basis, posted a profit of $55 million, or 8 cents per share, compared to a loss of $135.2 million, or 20 cents, a year ago. However, the Commercial Auto segment still remained a drag.
