Glossary of Selected Terms
The following measures are used by the Company’s management to evaluate performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated basis. A number of these measures are components of net income or the balance sheet but, in some cases, are not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (non-GAAP) under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheets or are not required to be disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements or, in some cases, there is inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of these measures provides investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and other financial statement users with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company’s periodic results of operations and how management evaluates the Company's financial performance. Internally, the Company's management uses the measures to evaluate performance against historical results, to establish financial targets on a consolidated basis and for other reasons.
Some of these measures exclude net investment gains (losses), net of tax, and/or net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities, net of tax, which can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Also, some of these measures exclude goodwill and intangible asset impairments, net of tax, deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) unlocking, net of tax, and intangible asset amortization, net of tax.
Other companies may calculate these measures differently, and, therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by the Company’s management.
Adjusted book value per share - The result of dividing (1) total shareholders’ equity excluding after tax net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities (including the related effect from DAC) by (2) ending shares outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes it is useful to consider the trend in book value per share excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth. Management also believes the non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily financial market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by the Company’s underlying insurance operations.
Tangible book value per share - The result of dividing (1) total shareholders’ equity excluding after tax net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities (including the related effect from DAC), goodwill and other intangible assets (including the related impact of deferred taxes) by (2) ending shares outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Debt to total capitalization ratio, excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities - The result of dividing (1) total debt by (2) total debt plus common shareholders' equity excluding after tax net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities (including the related effect from DAC) from common shareholders' equity. The debt to total capitalization ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Catastrophe costs - The sum of catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and before income tax benefits that includes allocated loss adjustment expenses and reinsurance reinstatement premiums, excluding unallocated loss adjustment expenses.
Catastrophe losses - In categorizing property and casualty claims as being from a catastrophe, the Company utilizes the designations of the Property Claim Services, a subsidiary of Insurance Services Office, Inc., and additionally beginning in 2007, includes losses from all such events that meet the definition of covered loss in the Company’s primary catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contract, and reports claims and claim expense amounts net of reinsurance recoverables. A catastrophe is a severe loss resulting from natural and man-made events within a particular territory, including risks such as hurricane, fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and other similar events, that causes $25 million or more in insured property and casualty losses for the industry and affects a significant number of property and casualty insurers and policyholders. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics. Catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount of loss in
advance. Their effects are not included in earnings or claim and claim expense reserves prior to occurrence. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability in periodic earnings.
Core earnings (loss) - Consolidated net income (loss) excluding the after-tax impact of net investment gains (losses), discontinued operations, the after-tax impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairments, the effect of changes in tax laws and tax rates at enactment date, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles when applicable. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•Pretax core earnings (loss) - Pretax net income (loss) excluding the pretax impact of net investment gains (losses), discontinued operations, the pretax impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairments and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles when applicable. Income before income taxes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•Segment core earnings - Determined in the same manner as core earnings (loss) on a consolidated basis. Management uses segment core earnings to analyze each segment's performance and as a tool in making business decisions. Financial statement users also consider core earnings when analyzing the results and trends of insurance companies.
Core earnings (loss) per share - Core earnings on a per common share basis. Earnings per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted core earnings (loss) – Determined in the same manner as core earnings (loss) but this measure is further adjusted to exclude DAC unlocking and intangible asset amortization to calculate adjusted core earnings (loss). Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•Pretax adjusted core earnings (loss) – Determined in the same manner as pretax core earnings (loss) but this measure is further adjusted to exclude pretax DAC unlocking and pretax intangible asset amortization to calculate pretax adjusted core earnings (loss). Income before income taxes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Net premiums written and contract deposits – Management utilizes this non-GAAP measure, which is based on statutory accounting principles, in analyzing and evaluating business growth. Premiums and contract charges earned is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Net premiums written and contract deposits for the Company’s operating segments are as follows:
Property & Casualty
Net premiums written: Reflects the direct and assumed contractually determined amounts charged to policyholders for the effective period of the contract based on the terms and conditions of the contract and reflect gross premiums written less premiums ceded to reinsurers. The difference between premiums written and premiums earned is premiums unearned.
Life & Retirement
Life Insurance Product Lines:
•Net premiums written and contract deposits: Reflects (1) the direct and assumed contractually determined amounts charged to policyholders for the effective period of the contract based on the terms and conditions of the contract and reflect gross premiums written less premiums ceded to reinsurers, and (2) the amount charged for policies in force during a fiscal period for traditional life business. Contract deposits include amounts received from customers on deposit-type contracts.
Retirement Product Lines:
•Net annuity contract deposits: Reflects total recurring deposits and single deposits/rollovers – net of contract deposits ceded to reinsurers.
Supplemental & Group Benefits
Voluntary Product Lines:
•Net premiums written and contract deposits: Reflects (1) the direct and assumed contractually determined amounts charged to policyholders/certificate holders for the effective period of the contract based on the terms and conditions of the contract and reflect gross premiums written less premiums ceded to reinsurers, and (2) the amount charged for policies in force during a fiscal period for traditional life business. Contract deposits include amounts received from customers on deposit-type contracts.
Employer-Sponsored Product Lines:
•Net premiums written: Reflects (1) the direct and assumed contractually determined amounts charged to policyholders for the effective period of the contract based on the terms and conditions of the contract and reflect gross premiums written less premiums ceded to reinsurers, and (2) the amount charged for policies in force during a fiscal period for traditional life business.
Investment yield, excluding limited partnership interests, pretax and after tax - For the three month periods presented, investment yields are calculated by annualizing the result of year-to-date net investment income (adjusted to exclude net investment income from limited partnership interests for the corresponding period) divided by the average quarter-end and beginning of quarter carrying amount of invested assets as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets adjusted to exclude FHLB funding agreements, the carrying amount of limited partnership interests, and gross unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities. For full year periods presented, investment yields are calculated by (i) summing the investment yields for each respective three-month period applicable to the year and (ii) dividing that sum per the calculation in (i) by four. Net investment income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Net income return on equity - LTM: The ratio of (1) trailing 12 month net income to (2) the average of ending shareholders’ equity for the current quarter end and the preceding four quarter ends - referred to as the 5 quarter average of shareholder's equity.
•Net income return on equity - Annualized: The ratio of (1) annualized net income to (2) the 2 quarter average of shareholders' equity.
•Core return on equity - LTM: The ratio of (1) trailing 12 month core earnings to (2) the 5 quarter average of shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities and the effect of changes in tax laws and tax rates at enactment date. Net income return on equity - LTM is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•Core return on equity - Annualized: The ratio of (1) annualized core earnings to (2) the 2 quarter average of shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities and the effect of changes in tax laws and tax rates at enactment date. Net income return on equity - Annualized is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•Adjusted core return on equity - LTM: The ratio of (1) trailing 12 month adjusted core earnings to (2) the 5 quarter average of shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities and the effect of changes in tax laws and tax rates at enactment date. Net income return on equity - LTM is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
•Adjusted core return on equity - Annualized: The ratio of (1) annualized adjusted core earnings to (2) the 2 quarter average of shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities and the effect of changes in tax laws and tax rates at enactment date. Net income return on equity - Annualized is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Net reserves - Property and casualty unpaid claim and claim expense reserves net of anticipated reinsurance recoverables.
Prior years’ reserve development - A measure which the Company reports for its Property & Casualty segment which identifies the increase or decrease in net incurred claim and claim expense reserves at successive valuation dates for claims which occurred in previous calendar years. In the opinion of management, a discussion of prior years’ loss reserve development is useful to investors as it allows them to assess the impact
on current period earnings of incurred claims experience from the current calendar year and previous calendar years.
Property & Casualty operating statistics - Operating measures utilized by the Company and the insurance industry regarding the relative profitability of property and casualty underwriting results.
•Loss ratio - The ratio of (1) the sum of net incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to (2) net earned premiums.
•Underlying loss ratio - The sum of the loss ratio adjusted to remove the effect of catastrophe losses and prior years' reserve development. The loss ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes this ratio provides a valuable measure of the Company's underlying underwriting performance that may be obscured by the effects of catastrophe losses and prior years' reserve development, the amounts of which may be significant and may vary significantly between periods.
•Expense ratio - The ratio of (1) the sum of operating expenses and the amortization of policy acquisition costs to (2) net earned premiums.
•Combined ratio - The sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. A combined ratio less than 100% generally indicates profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of net investment income.
•Underlying combined ratio or combined ratio excluding catastrophe costs and prior years’ reserve development - The sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio adjusted to remove the effect of catastrophe losses and prior years’ reserve development. The combined ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes this ratio provides a valuable measure of the Company’s underlying underwriting performance that may be obscured by the effects of catastrophe losses and prior years’ reserve development, the amounts of which may be significant and may vary significantly between periods.
Sales – Sales data pertains to Horace Mann products and excludes authorized products sold by exclusive agents that are underwritten by third-party vendors. Sales should not be viewed as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including "sales" as it relates to non-insurance companies, and the Company’s definition of sales, sales deposits or new annualized sales might differ from that used by other companies. The Company utilizes sales information as a performance measure that indicates the productivity of its agency force. Sales are also a leading indicator of future revenue trends.
Sales for the Company’s operating segments are as follows:
Property & Casualty
•Sales: Sales are measured as premiums to be collected over the 12 months following the sale of new automobile and property policies.
Life & Retirement
Life Insurance Product Lines:
•Annualized sales: Annualized sales are based on the total yearly premium that the Company would expect to receive if all first year recurring premium policies would remain in-force, plus 10% of single and indexed universal life excess premiums. Annualized sales measure activity associated with gaining new insurance business in the current period, and includes deposits received related to universal-life-type products.
Supplemental & Group Benefits
Voluntary Product Lines:
•Sales: Based on application received date on the submitted policy and measured as the submitted annual premium.
Employer-Sponsored Product Lines:
•Sales: Sales are measured based on the first year annualized premium on the effective date of sale.

“In the first quarter of 2022, we officially welcomed about 340,000 educator households and 80 employees to Horace Mann with the completion of our acquisition of Madison National Life Insurance Company,” said Horace Mann President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “Horace Mann can now reach educators through employer-sponsored benefits at the district level, as well as through our direct channels and local, trusted advisors with insurance and financial services solutions.
“In the first quarter, our Supplemental & Group Benefits segment continued its sales momentum with Madison National meeting management’s expectations. We continue to be optimistic about the long-term growth potential of employer-sponsored and voluntary offerings sold through the worksite,” Zuraitis said. “In addition, we saw consistent growth in our Retirement offerings, with annuity contract deposits up 6% over prior year. In fact, April was the strongest sales month we've had for P&C products since the beginning of the pandemic and voluntary supplemental sales were double last April.
“While we see continued top-line sales progress that supports our long-term outlook, first-quarter Property & Casualty segment results were lower than a year ago, which was due to several factors,” Zuraitis continued. “First, as expected, frequency is nearing pre-pandemic levels. Second, in line with the broader industry, we are seeing inflation driving higher Property & Casualty loss costs. The impact of inflation was most evident in March, but the effect in April appeared more similar to January and February. As our marketing strategy emphasizes customer cross-sell and retention, we have long focused on offering a fair auto price over the life of a customer relationship. However, to address accelerating inflation, the auto rate plan for 2022 now includes rate increases in the high-single to low-double-digit range in states representing almost 80% of our premiums. Finally, for this segment, net investment income was impacted by a lower return on limited partnerships.
“As we continue to leverage our education market focus, we remain confident that we will increase our share of the education market as we grow through all channels over the course of the next several years,” Zuraitis said. “Due to the impact of inflation on our nearer-term auto results as well as the potential impact of market volatility on DAC unlocking, we now believe our 2022 core EPS is more likely to be at the lower end of the guidance range of $3.45-$3.65 we provided when we announced year-end 2021 results. We continue to assume a full-year limited partnerships portfolio contribution in line with our average historical returns and full-year catastrophe losses in line with our 10-year average.
“Beginning in 2023, we are targeting 10% average annual EPS growth and sustained double-digit ROEs, driven by our profitable growth,” Zuraitis added. “We expect the stronger and more diverse company that Horace Mann has become continues to pay more than $50 million in cash dividends each year while generating an additional $50 million in excess capital. Going forward, we expect to continue to prioritize growth in our capital plans. At the same time, we are committed to our 14-year track record of annual increases in our cash dividend and returning capital to shareholders through repurchases. The board increased our cash dividend payout by 3% in March to an annualized rate of $1.28.”
Operating Segment Results
Beginning with first quarter 2022, Horace Mann is reporting financial results in three operating segments: (1) Property & Casualty, (2) Life & Retirement, and (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits. The retail business, consisting of the Property & Casualty and Life & Retirement segments, provides insurance and financial services to individual educators through agency and direct channels. The Supplemental & Group Benefits segment provides voluntary and employer-sponsored benefits through school district employers. These worksite offerings help school districts attract and retain staff. This segment includes the results of Madison National Life Insurance Company, Inc. (Madison National) that was acquired effective January 1, 2022.
Property & Casualty segment results reflect inflation pressures on auto loss costs
(All comparisons vs. same period in 2021, unless noted otherwise)
The Property & Casualty insurance segment primarily markets private passenger auto insurance and residential home insurance. Horace Mann offers standard auto coverages, including liability, collision and comprehensive. Property coverage includes both homeowners and renters policies.

| Property underlying loss ratio* | | | | | | | | 52.3 | % | | 44.0 | % | | 8.3 | pts |
Property & Casualty segment core earnings primarily reflected the anticipated increase in auto loss frequency toward pre-pandemic levels and higher auto loss severity due to inflation as well as lower net investment income due to performance of this segment’s limited partnership portfolio. These factors more than offset catastrophe losses below last year’s level.
Policyholder catastrophe losses were $7.3 million, which added 4.8 points to the combined ratio, from 11 events, compared to $11.0 million or 7.0 points in last year’s first quarter, from 13 events. The auto underlying loss ratio was 75.5%, compared to 58.8% in last year’s first quarter. Driving patterns continue their return to historic levels and severity continues to rise, impacted by inflation, and was unusually high in March. Property delivered a strong underlying loss ratio of 52.3%, although higher than last year’s first quarter.
As expected, Property & Casualty net premiums written were slightly below last year’s first quarter as the benefit of stronger retention is being offset by new business volumes that remain below historical levels due to the lingering effect of the pandemic on sales. Auto average net premiums were level with last year as pandemic-related mileage changes have stabilized. Property average net premiums were up over 5% as inflation adjustments to coverage values begin to take effect.
Life & Retirement segment benefits from continued growth in net annuity contract deposits
(All comparisons vs. same period in 2021, unless noted otherwise)
The Life & Retirement segment markets 403(b) tax-qualified fixed, fixed indexed and variable annuities; the Horace Mann Retirement Advantage® open architecture platform for 403(b)(7) and other defined contribution plans; and other retirement products to educators as well as traditional term and whole life insurance products. Horace Mann is one of the largest participants in the K-12 educator portion of the 403(b) tax-qualified annuity market, measured by 403(b) net premiums written on a statutory accounting basis. The Life & Retirement segment represented 37% of 2021 total revenues and contributed $68.4 million to 2021 core earnings.

Life & Retirement segment core earnings were up 3.5% with total benefits and expenses unchanged. Adjusted core earnings, which excludes DAC unlocking, were up 26.1%.
For the Retirement business, net annuity contract deposits rose 5.9% over last year’s first quarter. Horace Mann’s relationship with educators often begins with 403(b) retirement savings products, including the company’s attractive annuity products, which provide encouraging cross-sell opportunities. Total cash value persistency remained strong at 94.3%. The net interest spread was 286 points, up from a year ago, reflecting strong investment returns.
Horace Mann currently has $5.2 billion in annuity assets under management, including $2.2 billion of fixed annuities, $2.5 billion of variable annuities and $0.5 billion of fixed indexed annuities. Assets under administration, which includes Retirement Advantage and other advisory and recordkeeping assets, was up 1.7% from a year ago, as assets under management rose due to strong equity market performance through the end of 2021.
Life annualized sales were slightly below last year with persistency for life products of 96.2% remaining in line with prior periods.
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment sales up over 2021
(All comparisons vs. same period in 2021, unless noted otherwise)
The Supplemental & Group Benefits segment markets employer-sponsored group worksite solutions for districts and other public employers, as well as voluntary products typically distributed through the worksite channel. The worksite business provides group term life, disability and specialty health insurance along with voluntary supplemental products including cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability and accident coverages.

(1) Measured to total revenues.
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment core earnings were down slightly with adjusted core earnings up 4.4%. Adjusted core earnings exclude the non-cash impact of amortization of intangible assets under purchase accounting that reduced core earnings by $3.9 million pretax vs. $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.
The pre-tax profit margin declined because of the addition of the newly acquired employer-sponsored products, which are expected to generate a lower margin than voluntary products. In the first quarter, total benefits also reflected normal seasonality for the employer-sponsored products.
Total sales for the segment were $3.7 million. Sales of voluntary products were $1.4 million in the first quarter, a 40.0% increase over prior year, with persistency remaining very strong at 92.1%. Sales of employer-sponsored products added another $2.3 million, in line with management’s expectations.
Consolidated Results
Horace Mann’s investment strategy is primarily focused on generating income to support product liabilities, and balances principal protection and risk. Total net investment income includes net investment income on the investment portfolio managed by Horace Mann, as well as accreted investment income on the deposit asset on reinsurance related to the company’s reinsurance of policy liabilities related to legacy individual annuities written in 2002 or earlier.

Total net investment income was up 2.5%, or $2.4 million. Net investment income on the managed portfolio rose 2.7% due to yield expansion in the core fixed income portfolio and growth in both the commercial mortgage loan and limited partnership portfolios. The company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio is in a net unrealized investment gain position of $16.7 million pretax at March 31, 2022.
Adjusted book value per share* up 5% year over year
At March 31, 2022, shareholders’ equity was $1.54 billion, or $37.14 per share, as higher interest rates resulted in lower unrealized gains in the fixed-maturity portfolio. Excluding net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities, shareholders’ equity was $1.52 billion, or $36.65 per share.* During the first quarter, Horace Mann repurchased 59,746 shares of common stock at an average price of $37.14. As of March 31, 2022, $13.1 million remained authorized for future share repurchases under the share repurchase program.
At March 31, 2022, total debt was $502.7 million, with $249.0 million outstanding on the company’s line of credit. The ratio of debt-to-capital excluding net unrealized investment gains* was 24.9% at March 31, 2022, which aligns with levels appropriate for the company’s current financial strength ratings.
Segment outlook for 2022
Horace Mann’s outlook for 2022 reflects accretion from newly acquired Madison National as well as estimates of the initial contributions of strategic growth initiatives. Due to the impact of inflation on auto loss costs as well as the potential impact of market volatility on DAC unlocking, management’s expectation for 2022 EPS is now at the lower end of the $3.45-$3.65 guidance range previously announced. Full-year net investment income from the managed portfolio is estimated to be in line with 2021, with limited partnership portfolio returns modeled closer to the historical averages. Results for each segment will reflect different considerations:
•Property & Casualty segment 2022 core earnings: In 2022, the underlying auto loss ratio is expected to be higher than original expectations due to inflation. The longer-term combined ratio target remains 95-96%. The assumption for catastrophe losses continues to be approximately 9.5 points on the combined ratio, in line with the 10-year average. Net investment income in 2022 is expected to be lower in this segment, as it benefited from strong limited partnership returns in 2021.
•Life & Retirement segment 2022 core earnings: Net investment income is expected to be up slightly compared to 2021, maintaining the net investment spread near the 2021 level. The assumption for mortality is a return to actuarial expectations.
•Supplemental & Group Benefits segment 2022 core earnings: Claims utilization is expected to be near pre-pandemic levels leading to full-year 2022 benefit ratios of about 35% for voluntary products and about 50% for employer-sponsored products. Amortization of intangible assets is expected to be approximately $13 million, or 30 cents per share (after tax).
