Kemper Reports First Quarter 2024 Operating Results*

KMPR | May 1, 2024

Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR) reported net income of $71.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss of $80.1 million, or $(1.25) per share, for the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 was $69.7 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Loss1 of $55.7 million, or $(0.87) per share, for the first quarter of 2023.

Key themes of the quarter include:

Profitability improved sequentially generating an 11.2% ROE and a 17.2% Tangible ROE1
Specialty P&C underlying combined ratio1 improved 4.6 points sequentially to 93.6%, a 14.4 point improvement over 1Q’23
Life business continues to produce stable earnings
Parent liquidity remains strong at $1.1 billion; insurance companies remain well capitalized

“Overall, we’re pleased with our results this quarter,” said Joseph P. Lacher, Jr., President and CEO. “We continued to deliver significantly improved profitability in our Specialty P&C business, where we are now exceeding target returns. We made substantial progress on growing new business applications in the first quarter, delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of underlying business improvement, and our second straight quarter of solid operating and underwriting profits. Our profit restoration actions led to this positive outcome. Moving forward, we’re focused on stabilizing our policy in force levels, further expanding new business availability, and delivering on our ROE commitments.”

*NOTE: In third quarter 2023, the Company finalized the establishment of Kemper Reciprocal, an Illinois-domiciled reciprocal insurance exchange that began writing policies in September 2023. The results of Kemper Reciprocal are consolidated under US GAAP.

Unless specified otherwise, discussion of our first quarter 2024 results is focused on net income attributable to Kemper Corporation common shareholders, which does not include financial results from Kemper Reciprocal that are presented within the condensed consolidated financial results in this release.

Revenues

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $151.8 million, or 11.7 percent, to $1,143.0 million, compared to the first quarter of 2023, mostly driven by $104.2 million of reduced Specialty P&C earned premiums due to continued lower level of new business volumes resulting from targeted actions to improve profitability, partially offset by higher average earned premium per exposure from rate increases. The decrease was also due to $42.8 million in lower earned premiums from our Preferred Insurance Business, reported as Non-Core Operations, due primarily to lower volumes resulting from the decision to exit and run-off the business as well as ongoing profit improvement actions.

Segment Results

Unless otherwise noted, (i) the segment results discussed below are presented on an after-tax basis, (ii) prior-year development includes both catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and LAE, (iii) catastrophe losses and LAE exclude the impact of prior-year development, (iv) loss ratio includes loss and LAE, and (v) all comparisons are made to the prior year quarter unless otherwise stated.

The Specialty Property and Casualty Insurance segment reported adjusted net operating income of $69.2 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to an adjusted net operating loss of $58.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. This increase in results was due primarily to an improvement in the Underlying Combined Ratio1 and lower prior year loss and LAE development. The segment’s Underlying Combined Ratio1 was 93.6 percent compared to 108.0 percent in the first quarter of 2023. The improvement was primarily driven higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases, lower underlying claim frequency and moderating increases in claim severity.

The Life Insurance segment reported adjusted net operating income of $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in results was primarily driven by a reduction in net investment income partially offset by changes in mortality experience from life insurance products.

Capital

Total Kemper Corporation Shareholders’ Equity at the end of the quarter was $2,589.8 million, an increase of $84.6 million, or 3 percent, since year-end 2023 primarily driven net income for the year. Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries ended the quarter with cash and investments of $395.6 million, and $424.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit agreement.

On February 7, 2024, Kemper announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, or $19.5 million. The dividend was paid on March 5, 2024, to its shareholders of record as of February 20, 2024.

Kemper ended the quarter with a book value per share of $40.24, an increase of 3 percent from $39.08 at the end of 2023. Tangible book value per share1 was $26.19 at the end of the quarter, compared to $25.39 at the end of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss)1 is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Net Income (Loss) attributable to Kemper Corporation the after-tax impact of:

(i) Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities;
(ii) Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses);
(iii) Impairment Losses;
(iv) Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs;
(v) Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges;
(vi) Goodwill Impairment Charges;
(vii) Non-Core Operations; and
(viii) Significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations;

Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net Income (Loss) attributable to Kemper Corporation. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that Kemper excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss)1 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Kemper believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss)1 provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses) and Impairment Losses related to investments included in Kemper’s results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions that impact the values of Kemper’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by the timing of acquisitions and business decisions which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges relate to (i) loss from early extinguishment of debt, which is driven by Kemper’s financing and refinancing decisions and capital needs, as well as external economic developments such as debt market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process; (ii) settlement of pension plan obligations which are business decisions made by Kemper, the timing of which is unrelated to the underwriting process; and (iii) other charges that are non-standard, not part of the ordinary course of business, and unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Goodwill Impairment Charges are excluded because they are infrequent and non-recurring charges. Non-Core Operations includes the results of our Preferred Insurance business which we expect to fully exit. These results are excluded because they are irrelevant to our ongoing operations and do not qualify for Discontinued Operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of Kemper’s business or economic trends. The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the profitability of Kemper’s businesses.

Diluted Adjusted Net Operating Income (Loss) per Unrestricted Share1 is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing Adjusted Net Operating Income (Loss)1 attributed to unrestricted shares by the weighted-average unrestricted shares and equivalent shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Diluted Net Loss per Unrestricted Share.

Return on Tangible Shareholders' Equity1 is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing the period’s net income attributable to Kemper Corporation by the average shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill. Return on Shareholders’ Equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use this non-GAAP measure to identify and analyze the change in performance attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes this non-GAAP financial 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 capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers.

Return on Tangible Shareholders' Equity1		17.2	%		(17.7	)%

2 Average shareholders' equity and average tangible shareholders’ equity for the three months ended is the simple average of the beginning and ending balances for the period. Average shareholders’ equity and average tangible shareholders’ equity on a year-to-date basis is the (a) the sum of the balance at the beginning of the year and the ending balance for each quarter within that year divided by (b) the number of quarters in the period presented plus one.

Underlying Combined Ratio1 is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Insurance Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the Combined Ratio, which is computed by adding Total Incurred Losses and LAE Ratio, including the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years, with the Insurance Expense Ratio.

Kemper believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in Kemper’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause Kemper’s loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the Combined Ratio. Prior-year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing on the performance of Kemper’s insurance products in the current period. Kemper believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing Kemper’s underwriting performance.

Tangible Book Value Per Share1is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Kemper uses the trends in book value per share excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth excluding goodwill attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes the non-GAAP financial 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 capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers.
