Kemper Reports Strong Second Quarter 2020 Operating Results

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR) reported net income of $126.1 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $122.1 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. In the second quarter of 2020, net income included a $56.6 million after-tax gain, or $0.86 per diluted share, attributable to the change in fair value of equity and convertible securities. As adjusted for the acquisition of Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation (“As Adjusted”)¹, net income was $130.5 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $126.3 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹ was $79.2 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $91.5 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.

Highlights of the quarter include:

• Delivered double-digit return on equity and solid adjusted consolidated net operating earnings per share (EPS)
• Excluding impact of $100 million of premium credits in auto business, earned premiums increased 6% in the quarter
• Specialty P&C earned premiums increased by $80 million or 10%, excluding the impact of premium credits, and segment earnings grew ~8% over the quarter
• Strong capital and liquidity positions continue to provide significant financial flexibility

Including the impact of premium credits, consolidated earned premiums decreased by 3 percent, or $31.3 million in the quarter, compared to the second quarter of 2019. Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s earned premiums decreased by 1 percent, or $7.0 million in the quarter, compared to the second quarter of 2019.

“We had a strong quarter and successfully delivered profitable growth in an uncertain economic environment,” said Joseph P. Lacher, Jr., President and CEO. “Despite the challenges of the pandemic, our results in the quarter included gains in net income and earnings per share. This was highlighted by continued strong performance and industry-leading growth in our Specialty Auto business, where we generated approximately $68 million of earnings and maintained solid margins. Though a reduction in consumer shopping activity and other pandemic-related activities impacted new business sales, we achieved significant policy growth for the business and enhanced franchise value.

“The value of our diversified model enabled us to generate strong returns over the quarter with a rolling four-quarter return on tangible equity, excluding unrealized gains, of 19%. The positive investments and enhancements we’ve made across our businesses have resulted in significantly improved earnings and stable cash flows through both favorable as well as challenged economic environments. Additionally, the model provides meaningful capital efficiency. Together with strong execution, these advantages enable us to consistently generate attractive returns for our shareholders. Our results highlight all the benefits of this model.

“Our strong balance sheet and ample capital and liquidity positions provide significant financial flexibility. This not only allows us to support our businesses through turbulent times, but also enables us to act on the opportunities that may present themselves in the current environment, strengthening our competitive advantages, and delivering significant value to our shareholders over the long term.”

Capital

Total Shareholders’ Equity at the end of the quarter was $4,187.9 million, an increase of $215.6 million, or 5 percent, since year-end 2019 primarily driven by net income. Kemper ended the quarter with cash and investments at the holding company of $270.5 million, and the $400 million revolving credit agreement was undrawn.

During the second quarter of 2020, Kemper paid dividends of $19.7 million and repurchased and retired 0.1 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $9.2 million.

On May 6, 2020, Kemper announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share. Additionally, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $200 million of Kemper’s common stock, in addition to $133 million remaining under the August 6, 2014 authorization, bringing the remaining share repurchase authorization to approximately $333 million as of May 6, 2020. The amount and timing of any future share repurchases under the authorization will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, available liquidity, particular circumstances and other considerations.

Kemper ended the quarter with a book value per share of $64.15, an increase of 8 percent from $59.59 at the end of 2019. Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities¹ was $55.13, up 4 percent from $53.08 at the end of 2019.

Revenues

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $44.5 million, or 3.4 percent, to $1,230.9 million, compared to the second quarter of 2019, driven by $7.0 million of lower Specialty P&C earned premiums and a $21.2 million decrease in Other Income, offset by a $46.1 million increase attributable to the change in fair value of equity and convertible securities. Specialty P&C earned premiums decreased due primarily to premium credits issued to policyholders during the second quarter. Net investment income decreased $28.2 million to $67.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to a lower rate of return from Alternative Investments, lower yields on fixed income securities, and higher investment expenses. Net realized investment gains were $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. Other income decreased from $22.7 million to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2020.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net operating income of $67.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $62.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. Results improved primarily due to an improvement in incurred losses and LAE (excluding loss and LAE reserve development). The segment’s Underlying Combined Ratio¹ was 89.1 percent, compared to 94.0 percent in the second quarter of 2019.

The Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net operating income of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. Results deteriorated primarily due to lower net investment income and adverse impact of prior year reserve development, partially offset by lower underlying losses and LAE and catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding loss and LAE reserve development). The Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s Underlying Combined Ratio¹ improved 9.5 percentage points to 84.4 percent in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to lower incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums in 2020, compared to 2019.

The Life & Health Insurance segment reported net operating income of $16.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. Results improved primarily due to lower insurance expenses and a reduction to the Company’s estimate of the ultimate cost of using death verification databases in the Company’s operations, partially offset by lower net investment income.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹ is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure computed by excluding from Net Income the after-tax impact of 1) income (loss) from change in fair value of equity and convertible securities, 2) net realized gains on sales of investments, 3) impairment losses 4) acquisition related transaction, integration and other costs, 5) loss from early extinguishment of debt and 6) 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.

Kemper believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹ 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. Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments and Impairment Losses related to investments included in the Company’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 the Company’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt is driven by the Company’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. Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration 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. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s business or economic trends.

Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income Per Unrestricted Share¹

Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income Per Unrestricted Share¹ is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹ attributed to unrestricted shares by the weighted-average unrestricted shares and equivalent shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Diluted Net Income.

A reconciliation of Diluted Net Income to Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income Per Unrestricted Share¹ for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is presented below.

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities¹

Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities¹ is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains on fixed income securities 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 on fixed income securities, in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth 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.

A reconciliation of the numerator used in the computation of Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities¹ and Book Value Per Share at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is presented below.

(Dollars in Millions) (Unaudited)	Jun 30, 2020		Dec 31, 2019
Shareholders’ Equity	$	4,187.9	$	3,972.3
Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities	588.6		434.0
Shareholders’ Equity Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities^1	$	3,599.3	$	3,538.3

Underlying Combined Ratio¹

Underlying Combined Ratio¹ is a non-GAAP financial measure that 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, including the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years, with the insurance expense ratio. Kemper believes the Underlying Combined Ratio is useful to investors and is used by management to reveal the trends in Kemper’s property and casualty insurance businesses that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause 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 development is 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 the company’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 its underwriting performance. The Underlying Combined Ratio¹ should not be considered a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of our business.

As Adjusted or As Adjusted for Acquisition¹

As Adjusted or As Adjusted for Acquisition¹ amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. For three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, As Adjusted¹ amounts are computed by subtracting the impact of purchase accounting adjustments from the comparable consolidated GAAP financial measure reported by Kemper. The Company believes computing and presenting results on an adjusted basis are useful to investors and are used by management to provide meaningful and comparable year-over-year comparisons.

A reconciliation of the As Adjusted for Acquisition¹ non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the comparable GAAP financial measure for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is presented below.

(Dollars in Millions, Except Per Share Amounts) (Unaudited)	Kemper Consolidated GAAP Financial Measure		Less Impact of Purchase Accounting Adjustments			As Adjusted for Acquisition^1
Net Income	$	126.1	$	(4.4	)	$	130.5
