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. Several of such measures are components of net income or the balance sheet but, in some cases, may not be considered measures based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (i.e., “non-GAAP” measures) under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheet, and in some cases, there is inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in a measure that is based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (i.e., “GAAP” 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.

 

Book value per share excluding the fair value adjustment for investments - The result of dividing total shareholders’ equity excluding after tax net unrealized investment 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 net unrealized 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.

 

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 claims and claim 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 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.

 

 1 

 

 

Exclusive Distributor - A licensed representative of Horace Mann. Horace Mann utilizes multiple points of distribution, including, but not limited to, direct sales, employee agents and exclusive agents.

 

Independent Agents - Non-exclusive distributor 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.

 

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 investment contracts (annuities) and life products with account values, 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 net realized investment gains and losses - Net income adjusted to exclude after tax net 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 effect of net realized investment gains and losses. Net 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 net realized investment gains and losses is not appropriate on a forward-looking basis because it is not possible to provide a valid forecast of net realized investment gains and losses, which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.

 

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 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’ 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.

 

 2 

 

 

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 net 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 may disclose new policy count (units) information for automobile and homeowners business. Sales data pertains to Horace Mann products and excludes authorized products sold by exclusive agents, employee agents, and their licensed staff which are underwritten by third-party vendors. Sales should not be viewed as a substitute for any 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.

“Horace Mann’s first quarter operating income was significantly impacted by adverse weather; catastrophe losses were $17.2 million, the highest level ever recorded during the first quarter, and non-catastrophe weather losses also impacted underlying auto and property results. On a positive note, we are seeing signs of improvement in the underlying auto loss ratio when you exclude weather-related impacts. Sales in all business lines were strong, with 9% growth in Property and Casualty, 4% growth in Retirement and continued double-digit growth in Life,” said Horace Mann’s President and Chief Executive Officer Marita Zuraitis.

 

Property and Casualty Segment

 

For the quarter, Property and Casualty net income of $2.7 million was $11.1 million lower compared to the prior year period.  The total Property and Casualty combined ratio was 105.5%, reflecting a record level of catastrophe losses in the quarter, as well as elevated non-catastrophe weather-related losses.  Catastrophe losses of $17.2 million pretax were $4.5 million higher than the first quarter of 2016, representing 2.5 points of the combined ratio increase.  Prior years’ reserves continue to develop favorably; however, the favorable development in the current quarter was $1.0 million pretax lower than the amount a year ago, representing 0.7 points of the combined ratio increase.

 

On an underlying basis, the auto loss ratio of 76.7% was in line with the prior period result on a developed basis, and was in line with full year 2016 results despite the elevated level of weather losses in the first quarter of 2017. The Company remains confident that it is on the right track for 1 point of underlying auto combined ratio improvement for full year 2017.  For property, the increase in the underlying loss ratio from 35.9% for the first quarter of 2016 to 46.9% for the first quarter of 2017 was largely related to the impact of higher non-catastrophe weather-related losses.

 

Compared to the first quarter of 2016, the Property and Casualty expense ratio of 28.3% increased 1.0 point from a year ago reflecting additional costs related to the Company’s continued infrastructure investments.

 

Total Property and Casualty written premiums of $152.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 4% compared to the prior year period. The growth was driven primarily by increases in average premium per policy for both auto and property.

 

Total Property and Casualty sales increased 9% compared to the first quarter of 2016. Auto sales increased 9% while property sales increased 5% compared to the prior year period. Policy retention continues to be strong with auto and property policy retention rates for the current quarter at 83% and 88%, respectively.

 

The Company adopted a new accounting rule for employee share-based payment accounting in the first quarter of 2017 that required all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled rather than through additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. As a result, Property and Casualty recognized an income tax benefit of $1.6 million in its provision for federal income taxes.

Retirement Segment

 

For the first quarter of 2017, Retirement segment net income of $11.5 million increased $0.9 million or 9% compared to the prior year period which is primarily due to a $3.4 million pretax increase in net interest margin offset by a $2.6 million pretax increase in operating expenses including costs related to the Company’s continued infrastructure and strategic investments.

 

The annualized net interest spread on fixed annuity assets was 183 basis points for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, which reflects the continued low interest rate environment. Total Retirement assets under management of $6.6 billion increased 9% compared to March 31, 2016, and total cash value persistency remained strong at approximately 95%.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, annuity deposits of $117.3 million increased 4%, or $4.7 million, compared to the prior year period and was attributable to $2.2 million of single premium and $2.5 million of recurring deposits received in 2017.

 

Life Segment

 

Life segment net income was $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2017 and comparable to a year ago.

 

In the current quarter, Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits of $26.5 million increased 11%, or $2.6 million, compared to the prior year period. Life sales of $4.7 million increased $1.7 million, or 57%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in single premium sales. Life persistency of 96% was comparable to 12 months earlier.

 

Investment Results

 

Total net investment income increased 7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. In addition to reflecting higher asset balances in the Retirement segment, investment results also reflected an increase in investment prepayment activity and favorable returns on alternative investments, partially offset by the impact of the current low interest rate environment. Pretax net realized investment losses were $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, including $2.8 million of other than temporary impairment charges recorded on certain equity and fixed maturity securities.

 

Horace Mann’s net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity and equity securities were $351.3 million at March 31, 2017, compared to net unrealized investment gains of $312.2 million at December 31, 2016 and $432.9 million at March 31, 2016.
