Exhibit 99.1
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, may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheets, and in some cases, there is inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in a GAAP financial measure. In the opinion of the Company's management, a discussion of these measures is meaningful to provide investors with an understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company's periodic results of operations and financial condition.
Agent - A licensed representative of an insurer in marketing insurance products.
| · | Exclusive Agency - A local Horace Mann agency created and owned by an independent contractor who has signed an Exclusive Agent agreement with the Company (an “Exclusive Agent”). That agreement states that only the Company's products and limited additional third-party vendor products authorized by the Company will be marketed by the agency. An independent contractor may sign multiple Exclusive Agent agreements with the Company and manage more than one Exclusive Agency. |
| · | Employee Agents - Agents who have employee status with the Company and by contract market only the Company's products and limited additional third-party vendor products authorized by the Company. |
| · | Independent Agents - Non-exclusive independent contractors who are under contract with the Company to market the Company's annuity products but who are not restricted to writing only the Company's products and products authorized by the Company. |
Book value per share excluding the fair value adjustment for investments - The result of dividing total shareholders' equity excluding after tax net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities and equity securities, including the related effect on certain deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force, by 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 unrealized net investment gains and losses 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.
| -1- |
Catastrophe costs - The sum of catastrophe losses and property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance reinstatement premiums.
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 loss and loss adjustment 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 adjustment 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.
Insurance premiums written and contract deposits - Premiums written represent (1) the amount charged for policies issued during a fiscal period for property and casualty business, such amounts may be earned and included in financial results over future fiscal periods, and (2) the amount charged for policies in force during a fiscal period for traditional life and group life business. Amounts are reported net of reinsurance, unless otherwise specified. Contract deposits include amounts received from customers on deposit-type contracts, such as annuities and interest-sensitive life policy accounts, including deposit amounts and any related contract or policy fees. Management utilizes this non-GAAP measure, which is based on statutory accounting principles, in analyzing and evaluating the business growth of its operating segments. Insurance premiums and contract charges earned is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Net Reserves - Property and casualty unpaid claim and claim expense reserves net of anticipated reinsurance recoverables.
Operating income or Net income before realized investment gains and losses - Net income adjusted to exclude after tax realized investment gains and losses. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes the measure provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company’s ongoing performance because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by the net effect of realized investment gains and losses. Realized investment gains and losses may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments that are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Operating income is used by management along with other components of net income to assess their performance and adjusted measures of operating income and operating income per diluted share are used in incentive compensation programs. Management believes that a projection of net income including after tax realized investment gains and losses is not appropriate on a forward-looking basis because it is not possible to provide a valid forecast of realized investment gains and losses, which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.
| -2- |
Prior Years' Reserve Development - A measure which the Company reports for its property and casualty segment which identifies the increase or decrease in net incurred claim and claim adjustment expense reserves at successive valuation dates for claims which occurred in previous calendar years. In the opinion of the Company's 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 and 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 or Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio - The ratio of (1) the sum of net incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to (2) net earned premiums. |
| · | 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 investment income. |
| · | Combined Ratio Excluding Catastrophes and Prior Years' Reserve Development or Underlying Combined Ratio - The sum of the Loss Ratio and the Expense Ratio adjusted to remove the effect of catastrophe costs 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 costs and prior years’ reserve development, the amounts of which may be significant and may vary significantly between periods. |
Return on equity - 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.
Sales or Annualized New Sales - Sales represent the amount of new business sold during the period and exclude renewal of policies sold in previous periods. Sales are measured by the Company as premiums and deposits to be collected over the 12 months following the sale of a new policy for annuity, life, automobile and homeowners business, as well as increases in contributions to annuity and certain life business, and this time period may extend into the following calendar year. In addition, the Company discloses new policy count (units) information for automobile and homeowners business. Sales data pertains to Horace Mann products and excludes authorized products sold by Employee Agents, Exclusive Agents, and their licensed staff which are underwritten by third-party vendors. Sales should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP, including "sales" as it relates to non-insurance companies, and the Company's definition of 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.

“Led by improvement in property and casualty segment earnings, Horace Mann produced a strong start to 2015. First quarter operating income was $0.72 per diluted share, reflecting solid performance across all three segments of our multiline insurance platform. Sales momentum continued in the first quarter, with growth in all three of our segments,” said Horace Mann’s President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “The first quarter property and casualty combined ratio was 90.4%, reflecting continued improvement in underlying results for both auto and property, partially offset by an increase in catastrophe losses. Net income in the annuity segment was slightly higher than the prior year, despite the pressures of the
| -1- |
interest rate environment. For the life segment, net income decreased primarily due to a higher level of mortality losses. Annuity sales continued to be strong, up nearly 30% for the quarter, led by sales of the fixed indexed annuity product. Sales of our life products with recurring premiums increased 14% for the quarter. And, auto sales increased 7% for the quarter.”
Property and Casualty Segment
For the first quarter of 2015, property and casualty net income of $17.6 million increased 26%, or $3.6 million, compared to the prior year. The current quarter total property and casualty combined ratio of 90.4% improved 3.3 points compared to a year ago, including a lower underlying loss ratio due to improvements in both frequency and severity. Catastrophe losses were higher than the prior year; favorable prior years’ reserve development was equal to the prior year amount. On an underlying basis, the first quarter auto combined ratio of 96.1% improved 4.2 points compared to a year earlier. For property, the underlying combined ratio was 66.3% for the current quarter, 10.3 points lower than the first quarter of 2014.
Compared to the first quarter of 2014, the property and casualty expense ratio decreased 2.2 points, primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation accruals. The majority of the cost reduction benefitted the property and casualty segment, increasing that segment’s net income by approximately $2 million and decreasing the combined ratio by approximately 2 percentage points.
Total property and casualty written premiums of $140.5 million increased 2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The growth was driven by increases in average premium per policy for both auto and property accompanied by reductions in catastrophe reinsurance costs.
Total property and casualty sales increased 6% compared to the first quarter of 2014. Auto sales increased 7% compared to the prior year period, while property sales were equal to the prior year. Policy retention continues to be strong with auto and property policy retention rates for the current period at 85% and 88%, respectively.
Annuity Segment
Annuity segment net income increased $0.2 million to $12.5 million for the current quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2014. In both the current year and prior year quarters, the impact of unlocking deferred policy acquisition costs was immaterial.
The first quarter annualized net interest spread of 194 basis points on fixed annuity assets reflected continued solid investment portfolio performance and disciplined crediting rate management. Compared to the first quarter of 2014, the net interest margin decreased 3%. Total annuity assets under management of $5.8 billion increased 8% compared to March 31, 2014, and total cash value persistency remained strong at approximately 94%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, annuity deposits of $142.0 million increased 42%, or $41.7 million, including an increase of $22.0 million attributable to changes in the company’s employee retirement savings plans. Excluding that item, the remaining $19.7 million increase, or 20%, was primarily due to growth in the amount of single premium and rollover deposits received in the current period, with recurring deposit receipts also exceeding the prior year amount.
| -2- |
In the first quarter, Horace Mann’s total annuity sales increased 29%, led by sales of the company’s fixed indexed annuity product. Annuity sales by the company’s agency force increased 35% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, while annuity sales from the independent agent distribution channel, which currently produces about 10% of total annuity sales, decreased 3% compared to the same period.
Life Segment
Life segment net income of $3.4 million for the three months decreased $0.5 million compared to the same period in 2014, primarily attributable to a modest increase in mortality losses in the current year and a slight decrease in investment income, compared to the prior year period.
For the first quarter of 2015, life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits of $23.2 million increased 2% compared to the same period in 2014. Life persistency of 96% was comparable to 12 months earlier. For the current quarter, life sales of $1.9 million increased 12%, or $0.2 million, compared to the first three months of 2014.
Investment Results
Total net investment income was comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting higher asset balances in the annuity segment, as well as continued strong performance in the fixed maturity and alternative investment portfolios despite the interest rate environment. Pretax net realized investment gains were $6.1 million in the current quarter.
Horace Mann’s net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity and equity securities were $591.7 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $528.6 million of net unrealized gains at December 31, 2014. Net unrealized gains were $376.2 million at March 31, 2014.
Capital Management
During the first quarter of 2015, the company repurchased 23,500 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $0.7 million, or an average price per share of $30.44, under its $50 million share repurchase program.
