* These measures are not based on
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (non-GAAP). They are reconciled to the most directly

Supplement. An explanation of these measures is contained in the
Glossary of Selected Terms included as an exhibit in the Company’s
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“The temporary impact of industry-wide 2022 events on our
financial performance, including inflationary pressure and market
volatility, does not detract from our unwavering commitment to be a
trusted partner to the educational community,” said President and
CEO Marita Zuraitis. “Our optimism for Horace Mann’s long-term
success is underscored by the progress we made in 2022 to further
diversify our business base and cement our position as the leading
provider of education market solutions for both school districts
and individual educators.
“The strong sales momentum we saw in the fourth quarter built on
our successful back-to-school season, supporting our ability to
resume our trajectory toward a double-digit return on equity in
2023,” Zuraitis added. “In our new Worksite Division, 2022 sales
rose almost two and a half times over last year, bolstered by the
newly acquired employer-sponsored products added in the Madison
National acquisition, which continues to exceed our expectations.
Sales of worksite direct supplemental products are reflecting
improved school access. In the fourth quarter, sales reached their
highest quarterly level since before the pandemic.
“In our Retail Division, educators continued to respond
favorably to the solutions offered by our Life & Retirement
business with annualized Life sales up 7%. Retirement results also
remain strong, even as financial market volatility has been a
headwind,” said Zuraitis. “In our Property & Casualty business,
our focus has been on the acceleration of our rate plan, along with
implementation of non-rate underwriting actions, so we can remain
on track to our longer-term profitability targets for this
business. Auto sales are up again in the fourth quarter, largely in
states where we are confident in the outlook for pricing,
reflecting the strength of our relationships within the education
market.
“In addition to the overall 5.4% in rate actions in 2022, we now
expect auto rates to increase in the range of 18% to 20% over the
next four quarters,” Zuraitis said. “We believe this plan -
bolstered by non-rate actions - should result in an auto combined
ratio between 97% and 98% in 2024. Further, we expect property rate
increases in the range of 12% to 15% over the next four quarters.
Combined with the impact of ‘inflation guard’ increases to raise
coverage values, we expect average renewal premiums for property to
increase by 17% to 20% in 2023. This puts us on track to our
targeted property combined ratio between 92% and 93% for 2024.
“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. “As we return to our
longer-term profitability targets in the Property & Casualty
segment, we believe our 2023 core EPS will be in the range of $2.00
to $2.30. We are assuming a full-year limited partnerships
portfolio contribution in line with our average historical returns
and a full-year catastrophe loss contribution of about 10 points to
the combined ratio. In 2024, we believe we will return to a
double-digit return on equity as core EPS approaches $4, driven by
our profitable growth.”
Segment outlook for 2023
2023 core EPS guidance of $2.00 to $2.30 (or core earnings of
$84 million to $96 million, after tax) includes full-year net
investment income from the managed portfolio between $330 million
and $340 million, reflecting stronger returns from our commercial
mortgage loan portfolio as well as the benefits of the rising rate
environment over the past 12 months. Limited partnership returns
are estimated near their 10-year average of 8.5%. 2023 total net
investment income is expected to be between $434 million and $444
million.
Guidance for each segment reflects the following:
- Property & Casualty segment core earnings of between $5
million to $10 million in 2023 from a loss of $44.4 million in
2022, reflecting the growing benefit of rate and non-rate
underwriting actions. The longer-term combined ratio target for the
segment remains 95-96%.
- Life & Retirement segment core earnings of $67 million to
$70 million in 2023, compared to $52.6 million in 2022. The
guidance takes into account the adoption of LDTI effective Jan. 1,
2023. In 2023, the spread on the fixed annuity business is expected
to be in the range of 220 to 230 basis points, above the target
threshold for this business.
- Supplemental & Group Benefits segment core earnings of $40
million to $44 million in 2023, compared to $58.5 million in 2022.
The segment benefit ratio is expected to be near the longer-term
target of 43% compared with 36.7% in 2022 as utilization returns to
pre-pandemic levels. In addition, the pretax profit margin will
reflect the investment being made in this segment’s infrastructure
as well as a higher allocation of corporate expenses to reflect the
segment’s utilization of shared staff, distribution and other
resources.
Reporting Segment Results
Beginning with first quarter 2022, Horace Mann is reporting
financial results in three reporting 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 worksite direct 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 reflected impact of
inflation (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. For both auto and property
coverage, Horace Mann offers educators a discounted rate and the
Educator Advantage® package of features. The Property &
Casualty segment represented 47% of total revenues for the year
ended 2022.

The Property & Casualty segment core loss for the fourth
quarter and full-year were in line with the company’s preliminary
announcement. As expected, Property & Casualty net premiums
written were up slightly for the year with average written premiums
rising for both property and auto over the course of the year. In
addition, segment net investment income for the year and quarter
was well below the prior year when outsized returns in the limited
partnership fund portfolio benefited this segment.
The combined ratio rose for both periods, largely due to
recognition of continued elevated industry-wide loss costs driven
by inflation. The company continues to implement rate and other
underwriting actions that address these trends. Catastrophe losses
for the year were in line with the prior year, while catastrophe
losses for the quarter were $12.4 million, pretax. Winter Storm
Elliott, which spanned more than 30 states between December 21-25,
represented $8 million of the total.
The year-over-year increase in average written premiums for
property policies continued to improve throughout 2022, reaching
10.1% in the fourth quarter, as rate increases of 4.9% and
inflation adjustments to coverage values took effect. The full-year
property underlying loss ratio was 50.1%, reflecting
non-catastrophe water and fire losses above the prior year. The
full-year property loss ratio included $6.0 million in favorable
prior-accident year reserve development.
The year-over-year increase in average written premiums for auto
policies also improved throughout 2022, reaching 4.8% in the fourth
quarter, reflecting rate actions averaging 5.4% in 2022. The
full-year auto underlying loss ratio was 82.8%, reflecting higher
severity due to the ongoing impact of inflation and other loss cost
factors. In addition, auto frequency moved closer to pre-pandemic
levels. The full-year auto loss ratio included $28.0 million in
unfavorable prior-accident year reserve development, recognizing
the impact on severity of overall inflation, including higher
medical costs, increased usage of medical services and the current
judicial environment.
Life & Retirement segment core earnings of $53 million in
2022 (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 36% of total
revenues for the year ended 2022.

Life & Retirement segment core earnings, which excludes an
after-tax impairment charge of $3.8 million for goodwill and
intangible assets, were $52.6 million for the year. Adjusted core
earnings, which further excludes DAC unlocking and intangible asset
amortization, were $57.5 million for the year. For the segment, net
investment income reflected full-year limited partnership returns
slightly below their 10-year average compared to the unusually high
returns seen in 2021 while commercial mortgage loan portfolio
returns declined due to rising interest rates. Operating expenses
were in line with 2021.
The net interest spread on our fixed annuity business was 246
basis points in 2022 compared to 290 basis points in 2021. Charges
and fees declined for the year due to market volatility. For the
life products, mortality experience improved from 2021.
For the Retirement business, net annuity contract deposits were
$429.3 million for the year and $105.0 million for the
fourth-quarter. Educators continue to begin their relationship with
Horace Mann through 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 93.7%.
Horace Mann currently has $4.9 billion in annuity assets under
management, including $2.2 billion of fixed annuities, $2.2 billion
of variable annuities and $0.5 billion of fixed indexed annuities.
Assets under administration, which includes Horace Mann Retirement
Advantage® and other advisory and recordkeeping assets, were down
from a year ago as equity market performance affects assets under
management. Life insurance in force rose to $20.0 billion at
year-end 2022.
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment core earnings of
$59 million in 2022 (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 worksite direct products typically
distributed through the worksite channel. The worksite business
provides group term life, disability and specialty health insurance
along with worksite supplemental products including cancer, heart,
hospital, supplemental disability and accident coverages. The
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment represented 21% of total
revenues for the year ended 2022.

Measured to total revenues.
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment core earnings were up
27.2% while adjusted core earnings were up 28.2% for the year,
reflecting the strong pretax profit margin due to the addition of
the newly acquired employer-sponsored products. Benefit ratios for
the worksite direct and employer-sponsored products lines for the
year were below longer-term targets largely due to continued strong
performance across the product lines as well as the release of
reserves related to lapsed policies. Fourth-quarter benefit ratios
continued to reflect expected quarterly fluctuations due to
seasonality and other factors.
The non-cash impact of amortization of intangible assets under
purchase accounting reduced full-year core earnings by $15.7
million pretax vs. $11.7 million in 2021 due to the Madison
National transaction. Segment net investment income rose 32.1% for
the year, largely due to the addition of the Madison National
portfolio in 2022.
Total sales for the segment were $16.1 million for the year,
with fourth-quarter sales of $4.5 million. Fourth-quarter sales of
worksite direct supplemental products were up 47.8%, with full-year
sales up 41.5% to $9.2 million, with persistency remaining very
strong at 90.4%. Full-year sales of employer-sponsored products
were $6.9 million.
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. The Corporate segment reduced total revenues by $56.1
million for the year ended 2022 largely due to realized investment
losses.

Full-year total net investment income and net investment income
on the managed portfolio was below last year. For full-year 2022,
limited partnership returns were 7.9%. In 2021, limited partnership
returns were 20.3%, well above the 10-year average. Investment
yield on the portfolio excluding limited partnership interests
remained near 4.25%, with new money yields continuing to exceed
portfolio yields in the core fixed maturity securities
portfolio.
The fixed maturity securities portfolio was in a net unrealized
investment loss position of $571.9 million pretax at December 31,
2022, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment.
Realized investment losses were largely due to portfolio
repositioning activities to improve book yield as well as declines
in the fair value of equity securities.
Adjusted book value per share* of $35.33 at year end
At December 31, 2022, shareholders’ equity was $1.09 billion, or
$26.60 per share, as higher interest rates resulted in net
unrealized investment losses on fixed maturity securities.
Excluding the unrealized losses, shareholders’ equity was $1.45
billion, or $35.33 per share*. Share repurchases in 2022 totaled
670,816 shares, with $24.0 million returned to shareholders. As of
December 31, 2022, $41.3 million remained authorized for future
repurchases under the share repurchase program authorized in 2022.
Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 3, 2023, the company repurchased 68,550
shares for a total of $2.3 million.
At December 31, 2022, total debt was $498.0 million, with $249.0
million outstanding on the company’s line of credit. Interest
expense was $19.4 million in 2022 compared to $13.9 million in 2021
due to higher interest expense on the line of credit. The ratio of
debt-to-capital excluding net unrealized investment gains/losses*
was 25.6% at December 31, 2022, which aligns with levels
appropriate for the company’s current financial strength
ratings.
