Revenues

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased $117.2 million, or 8 percent, to $1,376.7 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by $50.7 million of lower Specialty P&C earned premiums, $22.2 million decrease in the change in fair value of equity and convertible securities, $21.9 million of lower Preferred P&C earned premiums, $19.5 million of lower Life & Health earned premiums, and a $17.8 million decrease in net realized investment gains. Net investment income decreased $2.1 million to $106.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to lower returns from Alternative Investments and level of investment in Equity Securities, partially offset by higher levels and yields on Fixed Income securities and level of investment in Company-Owned Life Insurance.

The Specialty Property and Casualty Insurance segment reported net operating loss of $35.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net operating loss of $125.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Results improved due primarily to a lower underlying loss ratio. The segment’s Underlying Combined Ratio1 was 107.8 percent, compared to 119.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease is driven primarily by higher earned premiums per exposure and lower frequency trends as a result of ongoing profit improvement initiatives.

The Preferred Property and Casualty Insurance segment reported net operating loss of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a net operating loss of $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Results improved due primarily to lower prior year development. The segment’s Underlying Combined Ratio1 was 106.6 percent, compared to 106.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease is driven primarily by higher than expected non-CAT weather in Homeowners.

The Life and Health Insurance segment reported net operating income of $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a net operating income of $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase is primarily driven by lower mortality in life insurance products.

Capital

Total Shareholders’ Equity at the end of the quarter was $2,443.2 million, a decrease of $1,564.5 million, or 39 percent, since year-end 2021 primarily driven by a decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed income bond portfolio, a net operating loss, and cash dividends to shareholders. Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries ended the quarter with cash and investments of $417.6 million, and the $600.0 million revolving credit agreement was undrawn.

On November 2, 2022, Kemper announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, or $20.1 million. The dividend was paid on December 1, 2022 to its shareholders of record as of November 15, 2022.

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) the after-tax impact of:

(i) Income (Loss) from 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 and Other Charges; and

(vi) 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). 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

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. Income (Loss) from 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 the 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 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. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Kemper’s business or economic trends. The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the

10

comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Kemper’s businesses.

Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share1 is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing Adjusted Consolidated 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 Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share.

A reconciliation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share to Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share1 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is presented below.

	Three Months Ended				Year Ended

Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized (Gains) Losses on Fixed Maturities1 is 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) losses 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) losses 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) Losses on Fixed Maturities1 and Book Value Per Share at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is presented below.

(Dollars in Millions) (Unaudited)	Dec 31, 2022		Dec 31, 2021
Shareholders’ Equity	$	2,443.2	$	4,007.7
Less: Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Fixed Maturities	(716.8)		502.6
Shareholders’ Equity Excluding Net Unrealized (Gains) Losses on Fixed Maturities1	$	3,160.0	$	3,505.1

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 the 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 the 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 the Kemper’s underwriting performance.

As Adjusted for Acquisitions1 amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. Subsequent to the applicable acquisitions, the As Adjusted for Acquisitions1 amounts are computed by subtracting the impact of purchase accounting adjustments from the comparable consolidated GAAP financial measure reported by Kemper. Kemper 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 Acquisitions1 non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the comparable GAAP financial measure for the three months ended December 31, 2022 is presented below.
