REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
The Progressive Corporation
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the three years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Progressive Corporation
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
December 31, 2013
| 1 | Description of the Plan |
The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) became effective January 1, 1995, and is maintained pursuant to a 2010 Amendment and Restatement and First Amendment thereto. The Plan permits eligible executives of The Progressive Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries to defer all, or a portion, of their bonuses, restricted stock unit awards and incentive awards payable under certain bonus and incentive plans of the Company. Eligible executives include those with bonus targets of at least 35% and other employees designated by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Plan participation is voluntary.
Eligible executives who wish to participate in the Plan must sign an irrevocable deferral agreement specifying the portion of the bonus to be deferred. Participants must sign a different deferral agreement for each bonus or other incentive award prior to the year in which the bonus or incentive award is earned. Deferral agreements relating to Stock Awards must be signed before the year in which the award is granted. Participants may transfer their fund balances on a daily basis, limited to two transfers per quarter.
The Plan is intended to be an unfunded Plan providing benefits for a select group of management and highly compensated employees for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and is, therefore, exempt from certain ERISA requirements.
A deferral account is established for all deferrals that relate to the same payout date. The account is credited with an amount equal to the initial amounts deferred as of the date such amounts otherwise would have been paid to the participant in cash. All amounts initially credited to each account will be deemed to be invested in the investment fund selected by the participant. However, deferrals of Stock Awards shall be deemed to be invested in Common Shares of the Company for six months and one day, following vesting of such awards. Any Deferral of a Stock Award granted on or after March 17, 2005, shall be deemed to be invested in the Company Stock Fund until the Deferral Account has been distributed or withdrawn. The gains or losses of each investment fund are allocated among the appropriate accounts based on the proportion each participant’s account balance bears to the total account balances for all participants. Each participant’s benefit at any date is equal to the value of his/her account as of that date.
All deferrals credited to a deferral account will be deemed to be invested in one or more of the investment funds available under the Plan, based on the participant’s investment election. Investment funds include Common Shares of the Company, a money market fund, and several stock and bond mutual funds. Income from each fund is deemed to be reinvested in the fund that produced the income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Progressive Corporation
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
December 31, 2013
| 1 | Description of the Plan, Continued |
The investment funds available under the Plan are merely devices used to calculate gains and losses on the amounts deferred by Plan participants. No participant has any rights or interests in any particular funds, securities or property of the Company or the Trust described in Note 6, or in any investment vehicle in which deferrals are deemed to be invested, by virtue of any investment election. Each deferral account, however, shall be credited or charged in accordance with the Plan with gains and losses as if the participant in fact had made a corresponding actual investment.
The balance of each deferral account will be distributed to the participant upon the earlier of death, termination of employment, change in control of the Company or the date on which any fixed deferral period elected by the participant expires. Distribution may also be made with the consent of the Plan committee, if the participant becomes disabled or experiences an unforeseeable emergency. Participants desiring to elect a fixed deferral period must do so irrevocably at the time the deferral agreement is signed.
Distributions made on account of the participant’s death, disability, unforeseeable emergency or change in control of the Company will be paid in a lump sum. Distributions made on account of the participant’s termination of employment or expiration of a fixed deferral period will be paid in either a lump sum or in three, five or ten annual installments, as elected by the participant. Distributions of deferred Stock Awards granted in 2005 and later years will be made in Common Shares; all other Plan distributions will be made in cash.
The above description is provided for informational purposes. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
| 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
General:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Investment Valuation:
At the close of business on June 3, 2013, the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund Institutional Shares were moved to the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares.
At the close of business on June 14, 2011, the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Investor Shares were moved to the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Institutional Shares.
The investment in Common Shares of the Company is valued at the last reported trade price on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the year. Investments in the stock, bond and money market funds are valued at market. Market values for these mutual funds were determined by quoted prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Market values of securities fluctuate based on the magnitude of changing market conditions; significant changes in market conditions could materially affect Plan investments.
Fair Value:
As defined in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
The plan has categorized our financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, into a fair value hierarchy of three levels, as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments at the measurement date (e.g. active exchange-traded equity securities).
Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly. This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments, and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s subjective evaluation about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument.
During 2013, the Plan transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 the Fidelity Money Market Trust Retirement Money Market Portfolio based on additional information obtained. The Plan recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

| 6 | Trust |
The Company maintains a Trust to provide a source of funds to assist the Company in meeting its obligations under the Plan. The Trust is irrevocable. The Company is required to make annual deposits to the Trust to the extent necessary to insure that the value of all Trust assets is sufficient to pay all Plan obligations as of the close of each Plan year. The rights of participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan are merely unsecured contractual rights against the Company and its participating subsidiaries. Participants and beneficiaries have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. All assets of the Trust are subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company and its participating subsidiaries under Federal and state law, should the Company and its participating subsidiaries become unable to pay their debts as they become due or become subject to Federal bankruptcy proceedings.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Progressive Corporation
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
December 31, 2013
| 7 | Related Party |
Certain Plan investment choices are Fidelity mutual funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR Co.). Fidelity Management Trust Company (FMTC) is the current trustee of the Trust and along with FMR Co. is a subsidiary of FMR Corp. These transactions, therefore, qualify as related party transactions. The Plan paid no fees in 2013, 2012 or 2011 for investment management or Trust services.
| 8 | Administration of the Plan |
The Plan is administered by a Committee consisting of not less than three members of the Company’s Board of Directors, all of whom serve on the Committee at the pleasure of the Board. The Committee has full power to administer the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to make and enforce rules and regulations, to interpret the Plan’s provisions, to compute amounts payable under the Plan and to authorize disbursements from the Plan and the Trust.
Certain administrative functions are performed by employees of the Company, or its subsidiaries. No such employees receive compensation from the Plan.
| 9 | Tax Status |
The Plan is not, and is not intended to be, qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, an application for a favorable determination has not been filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken uncertain tax positions that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by applicable taxing authorities. The Plan administrator has analyzed tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability or that would require disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. However, currently no audits for any tax periods are in progress. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to December 31, 2010.
| 10 | Right to Terminate |
The Company may terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. Following termination of the Plan, no additional deferrals may be made, but all existing participant accounts will continue to be administered in accordance with the Plan, unless the Company elects to accelerate distribution of all Plan accounts in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
