Monthly Commentary
     •   Since the Company writes six-month policies, there were several days in August that did not have renewal activity
            (i.e. February has 28 days). The written premium growth rate for the month primarily reflects timing differences
            related to the Company’s recognition of the days without renewal activity due to the Company’s use of a fiscal
            calendar. As a consequence, the Company may experience consecutive months, such as August and September,
            where comparisons to the prior year months are under or overstated. As a result, it may be more prudent to
            analyze written premium growth on a quarterly basis. For the month, net premiums earned and policies in force
            growth may be more representative measures than written premium growth.
       •    Through September 14, 2005, approximately 19,000 claims were incurred by the Company based on the two
            landfalls of Hurricane Katrina. The Company has evaluated and reserved for this catastrophe using its knowledge
            of severity and reporting patterns from many past storms in addition to several assumptions specific to this
            disaster. The current recognition of $119.5 million for reported, and incurred but not reported, claims best reflects
            this evaluation at this time. The Company notes that reporting patterns and salvage assumptions could differ from
            its expectations over the coming weeks and the Company will be continuously reviewing its estimate and
            assumptions. Storm claim settlements range from about 70% in Florida to about 5% in Louisiana. The Company
            continues to be proactive in the affected areas with the establishment of 7 drive-in claims sites and the deployment
            of over 300 additional claim representatives from all 50 states. Due to the nature of this catastrophe, the Company
            expects the settlement of the losses to take longer than those experienced in the past.

   fact are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to
   differ materially from those discussed herein. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, uncertainties related to
   estimates, assumptions and projections generally; inflation and changes in economic conditions (including changes in interest rates
   and financial markets); the accuracy and adequacy of the Company’s pricing and loss reserving methodologies; pricing competition
   and other initiatives by competitors; the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for requested rate changes and the timing
   thereof; the effectiveness of the Company’s advertising campaigns; legislative and regulatory developments; disputes relating to
   intellectual property rights; the outcome of litigation pending or that may be filed against the Company; weather conditions
   (including the severity and frequency of storms, hurricanes, snowfalls, hail and winter conditions); changes in driving patterns and
   loss trends; acts of war and terrorist activities; the Company’s ability to maintain the uninterrupted operation of its facilities, systems
   (including information technology systems) and business functions; court decisions and trends in litigation and health care and auto
   repair costs; and other matters described from time to time by the Company in releases and publications, and in periodic reports and
   other documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, investors should be aware that
   generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures.
   Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for one or more
   contingencies. Reported results, therefore, may appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods.

                                                                     -7-

  • 7. Monthly Commentary • Since the Company writes six-month policies, there were several days in August that did not have renewal activity (i.e. February has 28 days). The written premium growth rate for the month primarily reflects timing differences related to the Company’s recognition of the days without renewal activity due to the Company’s use of a fiscal calendar. As a consequence, the Company may experience consecutive months, such as August and September, where comparisons to the prior year months are under or overstated. As a result, it may be more prudent to analyze written premium growth on a quarterly basis. For the month, net premiums earned and policies in force growth may be more representative measures than written premium growth. • Through September 14, 2005, approximately 19,000 claims were incurred by the Company based on the two landfalls of Hurricane Katrina. The Company has evaluated and reserved for this catastrophe using its knowledge of severity and reporting patterns from many past storms in addition to several assumptions specific to this disaster. The current recognition of $119.5 million for reported, and incurred but not reported, claims best reflects this evaluation at this time. The Company notes that reporting patterns and salvage assumptions could differ from its expectations over the coming weeks and the Company will be continuously reviewing its estimate and assumptions. Storm claim settlements range from about 70% in Florida to about 5% in Louisiana. The Company continues to be proactive in the affected areas with the establishment of 7 drive-in claims sites and the deployment of over 300 additional claim representatives from all 50 states. Due to the nature of this catastrophe, the Company expects the settlement of the losses to take longer than those experienced in the past. The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies, in business since 1937, ranks third in the nation for auto insurance based on premiums written and provides drivers with competitive rates and 24/7, in-person and online service. The companies that offer insurance directly (by phone at 1-800-PROGRESSIVE and online at progressivedirect.com) market their products and services under the Progressive DirectSM brand, while the companies that offer insurance through more than 30,000 independent insurance agencies market their products and services under the Drive® Insurance from Progressive brand. The Common Shares of The Progressive Corporation, the Mayfield Village, Ohio-based holding company, are publicly traded at NYSE:PGR. More information can be found at progressive.com, including a guide to interpreting the monthly reporting package. Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements in this release that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those discussed herein. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, uncertainties related to estimates, assumptions and projections generally; inflation and changes in economic conditions (including changes in interest rates and financial markets); the accuracy and adequacy of the Company’s pricing and loss reserving methodologies; pricing competition and other initiatives by competitors; the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for requested rate changes and the timing thereof; the effectiveness of the Company’s advertising campaigns; legislative and regulatory developments; disputes relating to intellectual property rights; the outcome of litigation pending or that may be filed against the Company; weather conditions (including the severity and frequency of storms, hurricanes, snowfalls, hail and winter conditions); changes in driving patterns and loss trends; acts of war and terrorist activities; the Company’s ability to maintain the uninterrupted operation of its facilities, systems (including information technology systems) and business functions; court decisions and trends in litigation and health care and auto repair costs; and other matters described from time to time by the Company in releases and publications, and in periodic reports and other documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, investors should be aware that generally accepted accounting principles prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for one or more contingencies. Reported results, therefore, may appear to be volatile in certain accounting periods. -7-
