Allstate Insurance Corp., reversing last year's loss for the period, reported a profitable third quarter with results driven by the lower than expected catastrophe losses and increases in its flagship auto product.

The Northbrook Ill.-based company reported third-quarter net income of $1.1 billion compared with a loss of $1.5 billion in the 2005 period.

Even more dramatically, the company posted property-casualty underwriting income of $1.08 billion, compared with a loss of $3.36 billion in the quarter marked by record losses from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
