Kemper Corporation (NYSE:KMPR) reported net loss of $75.3 million, or $(1.18) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $122.3 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. As adjusted¹ for the acquisitions of American Access Casualty Company ("AAC") and Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation, net loss was $68.6 million, or $(1.08) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $139.9 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, net loss included a $0.5 million after-tax loss, or $(0.01) per diluted share, attributable to the change in fair value of equity and convertible securities.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Loss¹ was $75.8 million, or $(1.19) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹of $90.9 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020.

Key themes of the quarter include:

Specialty P&C earned premiums increased 18% and policies-in-force (ex. Classic Car) grew ~17.8%; AAC contributed 10.6% and 13.6% for earned premiums and policies-in-force, respectively
Specialty P&C underlying combined ratio¹ was 108.9%, due primarily to higher claim frequency and severity trends
Specialty P&C experienced adverse prior year development of $25M, or 2.4 points, primarily driven by legal developments and increased severity in personal injury protection coverage in Florida
Consolidated catastrophe losses were $32.4 million, primarily related to Hurricane Ida and several wind/hail events
Net investment income results were strong for the quarter, primarily driven by Alternative Investments
Kemper remains well positioned to support customers and grow long-term shareholder value

"Continued industry-related environmental pressures challenged our financial results," said President, CEO and Chairman Joseph P. Lacher, Jr. "In our P&C segments, the strong post re-opening economy led to additional increases in loss costs. In addition, an atypical second surge in Florida personal injury protection litigation led to an increase to prior year reserves of $25 million. Corrective actions including rate increases and non-rate actions are in progress to return us to target profitability and position us for growth in 2023. Further, our Life business saw strong persistency improvements and generated an increase in earned premiums of 5%, although we saw increased COVID-related mortality due to the Delta variant.

"Our balance sheet provides appropriate financial stability for the challenges faced by the industry. Our strong capital and liquidity positions enable us to navigate and optimize the current environment. Despite the current challenges, we remain financially strong, and our team will continue to deliver on our promises to our customers and provide attractive, long-term results and value for our shareholders."

Capital

Total Shareholders' Equity at the end of the quarter was $4,151.2 million, a decrease of $412.2 million, or 9 percent, since year-end 2020 primarily driven by a decrease in the valuation of our fixed income bond portfolio, repurchases of common stock, and cash dividends. Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries ended the quarter with cash and investments of $330.6 million, and the $400.0 million revolving credit agreement was undrawn.

During the third quarter of 2021, Kemper paid dividends of $19.7 million.

On August 4, 2021, Kemper announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share.

Kemper ended the quarter with a book value per share of $65.22, a decrease of 6 percent from $69.74 at the end of 2020. Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities¹ was $56.94, compared to $58.67 at the end of 2020.

Revenues

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2021 increased $101.7 million, or 8 percent, to $1,455.4 million, compared to the third quarter of 2020, driven by $156.9 million of higher Specialty P&C earned premiums, partially offset by a $45.8 million decrease attributable to the change in fair value of equity and convertible securities. Specialty P&C earned premiums increased due primarily to higher premium volume. Net investment income increased $9.8 million to $101.9 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 due primarily to an increase in return from Alternative Investments, higher levels of investments in fixed income securities, and higher levels of investments and rate on Company-Owned Life Insurance, partially offset by lower yields on fixed income securities. Net realized investment gains were $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Other income increased from $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2020 to $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2021.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net operating loss of $59.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net operating income of $119.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.

The Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net operating loss of $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net operating loss of $32.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. Results improved due primarily to lower catastrophe losses and LAE.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) ¹is 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 Gains or Losses on Sales of Investments;

(iii) Impairment Losses;

(iv) Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration 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 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.

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 Gains or Losses on Sales of Investments 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 Related Transaction and Integration 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 comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Kemper's businesses.

A reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) ¹ for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is presented below.

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions) (Unaudited)	Sep 30, 2021			Sep 30, 2020			Sep 30, 2021			Sep 30, 2020

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) ¹	$	(75.8	)	$	90.9		$	(88.0	)	$	333.0

Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share¹is 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is presented below.

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
(Unaudited)	Sep 30, 2021			Sep 30, 2020			Sep 30, 2021			Sep 30, 2020
Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share	$	(1.18	)	$	1.83		$	(0.23	)	$	4.67
Less Net Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share From:
Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities	(0.01		)	0.53			1.13			(0.01		)

Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains 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 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is presented below.

(Dollars in Millions) (Unaudited)	Sep 30, 2021		Dec 31, 2020
Shareholders' Equity	$	4,151.2	$	4,563.4
Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities	526.9		724.0
Shareholders' Equity Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities¹	$	3,624.3	$	3,839.4

Underlying Combined Ratio¹is 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 Acquisitions¹amounts 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 September 30, 2021 is presented below.
