    “Horace Mann’s second quarter operating income was $0.43 per diluted share, led by strong annuity results, as well as solid earnings in our life and property and casualty segments,” said Horace Mann’s President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “In our annuity segment, assets under management increased 11% over the 12 months, and the interest spread was better than expected. For the life segment, net income decreased primarily due to a more normal level of mortality losses. The property and casualty combined ratio of 102.7% reflected the impact of 16.3 points of catastrophe losses driven by May and June hail storms. Annuity sales were strong, up 34%, led by a successful full quarter of fixed indexed annuity sales. Life sales increased significantly, reflecting growth in both single premium and recurring premium products, and property and casualty sales increased 2%.”

    Property and Casualty Segment

    The property and casualty segment recorded net income of $4.9 million for the current quarter compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2013. The total property and casualty combined ratio of 102.7% was 0.6 percentage point lower than the second quarter of 2013. The underlying property and casualty combined ratio of 88.5% improved 0.5 percentage point compared to the prior year quarter. The improvement primarily reflected a decrease in the expense ratio, accompanied by improvement in the underlying auto loss ratio offset by an increase in the property underlying loss ratio.

    Pretax catastrophe losses in the current quarter of $23.5 million, or 16.3 points, increased $1.0 million, or 0.2 points, compared to a year ago. Favorable prior years’ reserve development of $3.0 million, or 2.1 points, was recorded in the second quarter, compared to $2.6 million, or 1.8 points, of favorable development recorded in the prior year.

    For the six months, property and casualty net income of $18.9 million increased $4.6 million compared to the same period in 2013. The year-to-date combined ratio and underlying combined ratio of 98.2% and 90.3%, respectively, improved 2.1 percentage points and 2.0 percentage points compared to the first half of 2013, primarily reflecting improvement in the underlying auto loss ratio. The current expense ratio was consistent with last year’s six month result.

    Total property and casualty written premiums of $148.2 million and $285.4 million each increased 3% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The growth was driven by increases in average premium per policy for both auto and property accompanied by reductions in catastrophe reinsurance costs.

    Horace Mann’s auto sales increased 4% and 1% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Declines in property new business of 9% for the quarter and 11% for the six months were largely due to continued risk mitigation initiatives. On a combined basis, property and casualty sales increased 2% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and decreased 1% compared to the first half of 2013. Policy retention continues to be strong with the auto and property policy retention rates for the current period at 85% and 89%, respectively.

    Annuity Segment

    Annuity segment net income of $11.5 million and $23.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $2.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. For the first half of 2014, the annualized net interest spread of 205 basis points on fixed annuity assets reflected continued solid investment portfolio performance and elevated security prepayment activity from the first quarter of 2014. The favorable net interest spread, accompanied by the increase in fixed annuity assets under management, resulted in the net interest margin increasing 11% compared to the first half of 2013. The deferred policy acquisition costs unlocking in the current quarter had a $0.4 million pretax positive impact on annuity segment net income compared to a $1.0 million pretax negative impact in the prior year second quarter; for the six months, the positive impacts were minimal in both years. Total annuity assets under management of $5.5 billion increased 11% compared to June 30, 2013, and total cash value persistency remained strong at approximately 95%.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, annuity deposits of $118.0 million and $218.3 million increased 20% and 16%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to an increase in the amount of single premium and rollover deposits received in the current periods. For both periods, recurring deposit receipts also exceeded the prior year amounts.

    Annuity sales by the company’s agency force increased 41% and 32% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, while annuity sales from the independent agent distribution channel decreased 10% and 2% compared to the same periods. As a result, Horace Mann’s total annuity sales for the current quarter and six months increased 34% and 27%, respectively, led by sales of the company’s new fixed indexed annuity product.

    Life Segment

    Life segment net income of $5.0 million for the second quarter and $8.9 million for the first half of the year decreased $0.6 million and $1.0 million compared to the respective periods in 2013. In the current year, mortality losses were a more normal level, partially offset by an increase in investment income.

    In 2014, life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits of $26.2 million for the current quarter and $49.0 million for the six months increased 4% and 2% compared to the respective periods a year earlier. Life persistency of 96% was comparable to 12 months earlier. For the first six months, Horace Mann life sales of $5.0 million increased 43% compared to the prior year due to growth in the second quarter.

    Investment Results

    Total net investment income increased 5% and 6% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, reflecting higher asset balances in the annuity segment, as well as continued strong performance in the fixed maturity and alternative investment portfolios. Pretax net realized investment gains were $3.5 million and $5.2 million in the current quarter and six months, respectively.

    Horace Mann’s net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity and equity securities of $501.2 million at June 30, 2014 increased 33% compared to the $376.2 million net unrealized gain at March 31, 2014, primarily due to the decline in interest rates during the current quarter. Net unrealized gains were $232.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $344.5 million at June 30, 2013.

    Webcast Conference Call

    Horace Mann’s senior management will discuss the company’s second quarter financial results with investors and analysts on July 24, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be webcast live on the Internet at investors.horacemann.com and archived later in the day for replay.
