The Progressive Corporation reported a sharp rise in profit for the second quarter of 2025, supported by growth in written premiums, improved underwriting margins and positive investment results.
Net income for the quarter reached $3.18 billion, up from $1.46 billion in the same period last year. Earnings per share rose to $5.40 from $2.48. For June alone, the company reported $1.12 billion in net income, a 40% year-over-year increase, with EPS at $1.91.
The second-quarter combined ratio improved to 86.2 from 91.9 a year earlier, reflecting stronger underwriting performance. The June combined ratio was 86.6, slightly higher than the prior-year month’s 86.2.
Premium volumes also continued to grow. Net premiums written rose 12% year over year to $20.08 billion for the quarter, while net premiums earned increased 18% to $20.31 billion. In June, written premiums totaled $6.61 billion, up 15%, while earned premiums rose 20% to $6.95 billion.
The insurer also saw a rebound in investment performance. Progressive reported $387 million in pretax net realized gains on securities during the second quarter, compared to a $127 million loss in the same period last year.
