To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Horace Mann Educators Corporation:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Horace Mann Educators Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in shareholders' equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

HORACE MANN EDUCATORS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2020
and
2019
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Horace Mann Educators Corporation is a holding company for insurance subsidiaries that market and underwrite personal lines of property and casualty insurance products (primarily personal lines of automobile and property insurance), supplemental insurance products (primarily heart, cancer, accident and limited short-term supplemental disability coverages), retirement products (primarily tax-qualified annuities) and life insurance, primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families (collectively, HMEC, the Company or Horace Mann).
On July 1, 2019, the Company acquired NTA Life Enterprises, LLC (NTA). As a result, the Company’s reporting segments were changed effective in the third quarter of 2019. A newly created Supplemental segment was added to report on the personal lines of supplemental insurance products that are marketed and underwritten by NTA.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, but are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted. These Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Part II - Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
. The results of operations for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are unaudited. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (generally consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Part II - Item 8, Note 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
Effective for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company decided to change the approach it uses for presentation in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from the direct method to the indirect method as management considers presentation under the indirect method as more comparable to the method used by others in the insurance industry. Accordingly, the Company has recast all prior periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the current year's presentation.
Consolidation
All intercompany transactions and balances between HMEC and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Horace Mann Educators Corporation
7
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The most significant accounting estimates include valuation of hard-to-value fixed maturity securities (including evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments), evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, valuation of supplemental, annuity and life deferred policy acquisition costs, valuation of liabilities for property and casualty unpaid claims and claim expenses, valuation of certain investment contracts and policy reserves and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed under purchase accounting.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which revises the credit loss recognition criteria for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including reinsurance recoverables. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss recognition model with an expected loss recognition model. The objective of the expected credit loss model is for a reporting entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets in a valuation allowance that when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the related financial assets results in a net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. A reporting entity must consider all relevant information available when estimating expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts over the life of an asset. Financial assets may be evaluated individually or on a pooled basis when they share similar risk characteristics. The measurement of credit losses for available for sale debt securities measured at fair value is not affected except that credit losses recognized are limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost and the carrying value adjustment is recognized through a valuation allowance which may change over time but once recorded cannot subsequently be reduced to an amount below zero. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for most affected instruments must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings.
The Company’s implementation activities are complete and the impacts related to the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio, agent advances, reinsurance recoverables and off-balance-sheet credit exposures for unfunded commercial mortgage loan commitments. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment that decreased retained earnings by
$
0.5
million
.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts
In August 2018, the FASB issued accounting and disclosure guidance that contains targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration insurance contracts. Under the new guidance, the cash flow assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for traditional insurance contracts will be required to be updated at least annually with changes recognized as a benefit expense (i.e., assumptions will no longer be locked-in). Insurance entities will be required to use a standard discount rate to measure the liabilities that will be equivalent to the yield from a high-quality bond. The new guidance also changes the amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) to be on a constant-level basis over the expected term of the related contracts with no interest accruing on the DAC balance. The new guidance also introduces a new category of contract features associated with deposit type contracts referred to as market risk benefits (MRBs). Contract features meeting the definition of a MRB will be measured at fair value. New disclosures will be required for long-duration insurance contracts in order to provide better transparency into the exposure of insurance entities and the drivers of their results. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those years. With regards to the liability for future policy benefits and DAC, the guidance applies to contracts in force as of the beginning of the earliest period presented and may be applied retrospectively. With regards to MRBs, the guidance is to be applied retrospectively at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the results of operations and financial position of the Company.
Accounting Policies
The following accounting policy has been updated to reflect the Company's adoption of
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
as described above.
The Company conducts a periodic review to identify and evaluate invested assets that may have credit impairments.
Horace Mann Educators Corporation
8
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Credit Impairments of Fixed Maturity Securities
Some of the factors considered in assessing impairment of fixed maturity securities due to credit-related factors include: (1) the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; (2) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects for the issuer, including the relevant industry conditions and trends, and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; (3) the likelihood of the recoverability of principal and interest; and (4) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment prior to an anticipated recovery in value.
Beginning on January 1, 2020, credit losses are recognized through an allowance account. See Note 1 -
Adoption of New Accounting Standards - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
for additional information.
For fixed maturity securities that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company separates the credit loss component of the impairment from the amount related to all other factors and reports the credit loss component in net investment gains (losses). The impairment related to all other factors (non-credit factors) is reported in other comprehensive income (OCI). The allowance is adjusted for any additional credit losses and subsequent recoveries. Upon recognizing a credit loss, the cost basis is not adjusted.
For fixed maturity securities where the Company records a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the impairment and whether the Company expects a recovery in the value. For fixed maturity securities where the Company expects a recovery in value, the constant effective yield method is utilized, and the investment is amortized to par.
For fixed maturity securities the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the full amount of the impairment is included in net investment gains (losses). The new cost basis of the investment is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized in net investment gains (losses). The new cost basis is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value.
The Company reports investment income accrued separately from fixed maturity securities, available for sale, and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for investment income accrued. Investment income accrued is written off through net investment gains (losses) at the time the issuer of the fixed maturity security defaults or is expected to default on payments.
Uncollectible available for sale fixed maturity securities are written off when the Company determines that no additional payments of principal or interest will be received.
Subsequent Event
PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (together, PG&E) emerged from bankruptcy on July 1, 2020, the date the Debtors' and Shareholder Proponents' Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization Dated June 19, 2020 (the Plan) became effective. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, PG&E funded a trust from which the Company and other subrogation claimants will receive payments related to the 2018 California Camp Fire in the third quarter of 2020. The Company expects to recognize in the third quarter of 2020 a subrogation benefit related to these claims of approximately
$
4.8
million
pretax, net of expenses and amounts that would inure to the benefit of the Company's reinsurers, and the return of
$
3.5
million
pretax of reinsurance reinstatement premiums for a total of
$
8.3
million
.

The Company, from time to time, sells invested assets subsequent to the reporting date that were considered temporarily impaired at the reporting date. Such sales are due to issuer specific events occurring subsequent to the reporting date that result in a change in the Company's intent or ability to hold an invested asset. The types of events that may result in a sale include significant changes in the economic facts and circumstances related to the invested asset, significant unforeseen changes in liquidity needs, or changes in the Company's investment strategy.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
NOTE 2 - Investments (continued)
The following table presents the fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position at
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. The Company views the decrease in fair value of all of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses at
June 30, 2020
— which was driven largely by increasing interest rates, spread widening, financial market illiquidity and/or market volatility from the date of acquisition — as temporary. As of
June 30, 2020
, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses before an anticipated recovery in value. Therefore, it was determined that the unrealized losses on the securities presented in the table below were not other-than-temporarily impaired as of
June 30, 2020
.

The cumulative credit loss amounts exclude OTTI losses on securities held as of the periods indicated that the Company intended to sell or it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before an anticipated recovery of value.
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, there was no allowance recognized for current expected credit losses with respect to fixed maturity securities classified as available for sale.
Maturities of Fixed Maturity Securities
The following table presents the distribution of the Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio by estimated expected maturity. Estimated expected maturities differ from contractual maturities, reflecting assumptions regarding borrowers' utilization of the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. For structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-backed securities, estimated expected maturities consider broker-dealer survey prepayment assumptions and are verified for consistency with the interest rate and economic environments.

Limited Partnership Interests
As of

and
December 31, 2019
, the carrying value of equity method limited partnership interests totaled
$
392.2
million
and
$
383.7
million
, respectively. Principal factors influencing carrying value appreciation or decline include operating performance, comparable public company earnings multiples, capitalization rates and the economic environment. The Company recognizes an impairment loss for equity method limited partnership interests when evidence demonstrates that the loss is other than temporary. Evidence of a loss in value that is other than temporary may include the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain a level of earnings that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities
The Company's derivatives are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. Collateral support agreements associated with each master netting arrangement provide that the Company will receive or pledge financial collateral in the event minimum thresholds have been reached.

NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to disclose estimated fair values for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair values of the Company’s insurance contracts other than annuity contracts (which are investment contracts) are not required to be disclosed. However, the estimated fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.
Information regarding the three-level hierarchy presented below and the valuation methodologies utilized by the Company to estimate fair values at each reporting date is included in Part II - Item 8, Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 are subject to the control processes as described in Part II - Item 8, Note 4 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
. Generally, valuation techniques for fixed maturity securities include spread pricing, matrix pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies; include inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid; and are based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified as Level 2. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for equity securities classified as Level 3 use similar valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as those used for fixed maturity securities.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The sensitivity of the estimated fair values to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for fixed maturity and equity securities included in Level 3 include: benchmark yield, liquidity premium, estimated cash flows, prepayment and default speeds, spreads, weighted average life, and credit rating. Significant spread widening in isolation will adversely impact the overall valuation, while significant tightening will lead to substantial valuation increases. Significant increases (decreases) in illiquidity premiums in isolation will result in substantially lower (higher) valuations. Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation will result in substantially lower (higher) valuations.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value; Disclosure Required
The Company has various other financial assets and financial liabilities used in the normal course of business that are not carried at fair value, but for which fair value disclosure is required. These financial assets and financial liabilities are further described in Part II - Item 8, Note 4 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
NOTE 4 - Derivatives
The Company offers fixed indexed annuity (FIA) products, which are deferred fixed annuities that guarantee the return of principal to the contractholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specified market index. The Company also offers indexed universal life (IUL) products which credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specified market index. When deposits are received for FIA and IUL contracts, a portion is used to purchase derivatives consisting of call options on the applicable market indices to fund the index credits due to FIA and IUL policyholders. For the Company, substantially all such call options are one-year options purchased to match the funding requirements of the underlying contracts. The call options are carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in Net investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The change in fair value of derivatives includes the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term or early termination and the changes in fair value for open positions. Call options are not purchased to fund the index liabilities which may arise after the next deposit anniversary date. On the respective anniversary dates of the indexed deposits, the index used to determine the annual index credit is reset and new one-year call options are purchased to fund the next annual index credit. The cost of these purchases is managed through the terms of the FIA and IUL contracts, which permit changes to index return caps, participation rates and/or asset fees, subject to guaranteed minimums on each contract's anniversary date. By adjusting the index return caps, participation rates or asset fees, crediting rates generally can be managed except in cases where the contractual features would prevent further modifications.
The future annual index credits on FIA are accounted for as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the expected life of the applicable contract with a corresponding reserve recorded. For IUL, the embedded derivative represents a single year liability for the index return.
The Company carries all derivatives at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected to not use hedge accounting for derivative transactions related to the FIA and IUL products. As a result, the Company recognizes the purchased call options and the embedded derivatives related to the provision of a contingent return at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized immediately as Net investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair values of derivatives, including derivatives embedded in FIA and IUL contracts, are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

IUL - embedded derivatives, included in

1,314
In general, the change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to FIA will not correspond to the change in fair value of the purchased call options because the purchased call options are one-year options while the options valued in the embedded derivatives represent the rights of the policyholder to receive index credits over the entire period the FIA contracts are expected to be in force, which typically exceeds
10
years.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
NOTE 4 - Derivatives (continued)
The Company's strategy attempts to mitigate potential risk of loss under these agreements through a regular monitoring process, which evaluates the program's effectiveness. The Company is exposed to risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties and, accordingly, option contracts are purchased from multiple counterparties, which are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to purchase of the contracts. All of these options have been purchased from nationally recognized financial institutions with a Standard and Poor's Global Inc. (S&P)/Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) long-term credit rating of "BBB+/A3" or higher at the time of purchase and the maximum credit exposure to any single counterparty is subject to concentration limits. The Company also obtains credit support agreements that allow it to request the counterparty to provide collateral when the fair value of the exposure to the counterparty exceeds specified amounts.
The notional amount and fair value of call options by counterparty and each counterparty's long-term credit ratings were as follows:

NOTE 5 - Deposit Asset on Reinsurance
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company reinsured a
$
2.9
billion
block of in force fixed and variable annuity business with a minimum crediting rate of
4.5
%
. This represented approximately
50
%
of the Company’s in force fixed annuity account balances. The arrangement contains investment guidelines and a trust to help meet the Company’s risk management objectives.
The annuity reinsurance transaction was effective April 1, 2019. Under the agreement, approximately
$
2.2
billion
of fixed annuity reserves were reinsured on a coinsurance basis for consideration of approximately
$
2.3
billion
which resulted in recognition of an after tax realized investment gain of
$
106.9
million
. The separate account assets and liabilities of approximately
$
0.7
billion
were reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis and thus, remain on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but the related results of operations are fully reinsured.
The Company determined that the reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk. Therefore, the Company recognizes the reinsurance agreement using the deposit method of accounting. The assets transferred to the reinsurer as consideration paid is reported as a Deposit asset on reinsurance. As amounts are received or paid, consistent with the underlying reinsured contracts, the Deposit asset on reinsurance is adjusted. The Deposit asset on reinsurance is accreted to the estimated ultimate cash flows using the interest method and the adjustment is reported as Net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 10 - Segment Information
The Company conducts and manages its business through
five
segments. See Note 1 for a description of the Company's reporting segments that changed effective in the third quarter of 2019. The
four
operating segments, representing the major lines of insurance business, are: Property and Casualty (primarily personal lines automobile and property insurance products), the newly created Supplemental (primarily heart, cancer, accident and limited short-term supplemental disability insurance coverages), Retirement (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities) and Life (life insurance). The Company does not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to these operating segments, consistent with the basis for management's evaluation of the results of those segments, but classifies those items in the fifth segment, Corporate and Other. In addition to ongoing transactions such as corporate debt service, net investment gains (losses) and certain public company expenses, such items also have included corporate debt retirement costs, when applicable.
Summarized financial information for these segments is as follows:

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Introduction
The purpose of this MD&A is to provide an understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in Part I - Item 1 of this report.
HMEC is an insurance holding company, and through its subsidiaries, it markets and underwrites personal lines of property and casualty insurance, supplemental insurance products, retirement products, including annuities, and life insurance in the United States of America (U.S.). We market our products primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families.
This MD&A covers our consolidated financial highlights followed by consolidated results of operations, an outlook for future performance, details about critical accounting estimates, results of operations by segment and investment results.
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Considerations
Beginning in March 2020, the global pandemic associated with the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and related economic conditions introduced unprecedented challenges for our country. Those challenges are ongoing. We relied on our previously developed Corporate Pandemic Plan to address preparation, prevention and response measures specific to COVID-19 while allowing flexibility to quickly react to evolving circumstances and implement varying actions accordingly.
As discussed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, we successfully transitioned the organization, through our employees and agents, from one that relied on in-person experience to one that has become primarily virtual. While the current environment continues to present challenges, our operations are being conducted successfully and we continue to support our agents and serve our customers in an effective manner.
As of the end of June 2020, we had approximately 85% of our employees working remotely. We anticipate another 15% of our workforce will return to the offices by the end of August 2020. The return to office plans are being guided by data from the Center for Disease Control. We currently anticipate limiting office occupancy to no more than 50% of pre-COVID-19 levels to enable effective social distancing for some time. We are also implementing other prevention strategies to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as requiring face masks in common office areas.
Taking into account the predominantly virtual work environment, we have implemented additional cybersecurity measures including increasing security and network monitoring to proactively identify and prevent potential security threats and vulnerabilities. We also are identifying and assessing critical third-party vendors and ensuring their ability to continue to perform as anticipated.
Horace Mann markets primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families and we estimate that 80% of our customer base are educators or other individuals employed by public school systems. In our experience, educators generally remain employed during periods of economic disruption. That largely remained true through the end of the recently completed 2019-2020 school year, as educators were typically asked to teach remotely when areas of the country took steps to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in their communities.
We continue to work with our network of exclusive agents to make sure they are making use of the tools that allow them to virtually reach current and potential educator customers. Our plans for this fall’s return to school includes a variety of new and modified forums to give teachers access to the financial solutions we provide. However, growth in new sales has slowed since the pandemic began, particularly sales generated from in-person events at schools. This may be exacerbated if public school systems face budget constraints in the fall due to the economic impacts of the pandemic and/or continue to restrict all "in school" access.
For further discussion regarding the current period and potential future impacts of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on us, see "Outlook for 2020" and other content within this MD&A as well as Part II—Item 1A.
In addition, over the past several years, we proactively de-risked our portfolio in anticipation of a recession and believe we are well positioned for the current dislocation in the markets. Although we have experienced the
Horace Mann Educators Corporation
30
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
impacts of market volatility on our fixed maturity security and limited partnership interest valuations in the second quarter of 2020, the investment portfolio is well diversified, is 95.3% investment grade-rated and has an average rating of A+. The annuity reinsurance agreement, entered into in the second quarter of 2019, which reinsured a $2.2 billion block of in force fixed annuities with a minimum crediting rate of 4.5%, helps mitigate the risk of not being able to generate spreads on the annuity business that meet our return targets. We believe our capital and reserves are adequate to address any unusual loss patterns resulting from COVID-19.
Amid rapidly changing dynamics, we are continuing to evaluate all aspects of our operations and making necessary adjustments to manage our business. Ultimately, the extent of the impact will depend on how long it takes for the economy to return to some degree of normality. To date, these steps have been effective and maintained business continuity. Based on assumptions that presume a return to a normal operating environment within six months, capital and liquidity are expected to remain at or near target levels. We believe we are financially strong despite the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued to produce solid operating results in the second quarter of 2020.

For the

months ended

, net income decreased $63.3 million and $77.0 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to recognition of a $106.9 million after tax realized investment gain in the second quarter of 2019 with respect to the transfer of investments as consideration in connection with the annuity reinsurance transaction. That gain was partially offset by more favorable results from Property and Casualty as well as the inclusion of results from the newly added Supplemental segment in the current periods.

Insurance Premiums and Contract Charges Earned
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, insurance premiums and contract charges earned increased $17.3 million and $43.8 million, respectively, primarily due to the addition of earned premiums from Supplemental. These were partially offset by lower premiums earned by Property and Casualty, including recognition of $9.8 million of automobile premium credits to our policyholders related to reduced driving activity due to COVID-19.
Net Investment Income
Excluding accreted investment income on the deposit asset on reinsurance, for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, net investment income decreased $13.8 million and $48.0 million, respectively, primarily due to a $2.1 billion reduction in invested assets from investments transferred under the annuity reinsurance transaction in the second quarter of 2019 as well as lower than expected returns on limited partnership investments. Investment yields continue to be impacted by the low interest rate environment of recent years. The annualized investment yield on the investment portfolio excluding limited partnership interests* was as follows:

Net Investment Gains (Losses)
For the

From time to time, we may sell securities subsequent to the reporting date that were considered temporarily impaired at the reporting date. Such sales are due to issuer specific events occurring subsequent to the reporting date that result in a change in our intent to sell an invested asset.
Other Income
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, other income was comparable to the prior periods.
Benefits, Claims and Settlement Expenses
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $9.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, driven primarily by improved automobile loss experience partially offset by higher catastrophe losses and the addition of benefits, claims and settlement expenses from the Supplemental segment. The improved automobile loss experience is a result of lower frequency of losses related to reduced driving activity due to COVID-19.
Interest Credited
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, interest credited decreased $2.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, driven primarily by a lower level of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) funding agreements. Under the deposit method of accounting, the interest credited on the annuity reinsured block continues to be reported. The average deferred annuity credited rate, excluding the reinsured block was 2.5% at
June 30, 2020
and
June 30, 2019
, respectively.
Operating Expenses
For the
three
months ended
June 30, 2020
, operating expenses decreased $1.6 million, primarily due to the inclusion of $9.8 million of operating expenses from Supplemental operations that was more than offset by expense reduction initiatives that began in 2019 as well as a lower level of expenses realized in 2020 due to COVID-19. For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, operating expenses increased $2.9 million, primarily due to the inclusion of $19.6 million of operating expenses from Supplemental operations offset by expense reduction initiatives that began 2019 as well as a lower level of expenses realized in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC) Unlocking and Amortization Expense
For the
three
months ended
June 30, 2020
, DAC unlocking and amortization expense decreased $11.2 million primarily due to $4.6 million of favorable DAC unlocking in Retirement for the current quarter (primarily market performance) compared to $5.6 million of unfavorable DAC unlocking in the prior year quarter primarily due to accelerated amortization of the DAC asset associated with the reinsured annuity block. For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, DAC unlocking and amortization expense decreased $6.2 million primarily due to the aforementioned DAC accelerated amortization that occurred in the prior year period. For Life, DAC unlocking resulted in an immaterial change to amortization for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Intangible Asset Amortization Expense
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, intangible asset amortization expense increased $3.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of NTA Life Enterprises, LLC (NTA) in 2019.
Interest Expense
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, interest expense increased $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as we utilized our senior revolving credit facility in the third quarter of 2019 to partially fund the acquisition of NTA on July 1, 2019.
Other Expense - Goodwill Impairment
For the
three and six
month periods ended
June 30, 2019
, other expense represented a goodwill impairment charge in Retirement resulting from the annuity reinsurance transaction.
Income Tax Expense
The effective income tax rate on our pretax income, including net investment gains (losses), was 12.3% and 23.9% for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively. Income from investments in tax-advantaged securities reduced the effective income tax rates by 5.3 and 1.4 percentage points for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively. The goodwill impairment charge in the Retirement segment increased the effective income tax rate by 3.5 percentage points at June 30, 2019.
On March 27, 2020, H.R. 748, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, “the CARES Act”, was signed into legislation. The CARES Act includes tax provisions relevant to businesses, and some of the significant changes include allowance of a five year carryback of net operating losses for 2018-2020 and the suspension of the 80% limitation of taxable income for net operating loss carryforwards for 2018-2020. The effects of the CARES Act are reflected in our income tax expense calculations as of March 31, 2020. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740:
Income Taxes
requires that the impact of the CARES Act be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted. As a result, total income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes a benefit of $2.8 million (that reduced the effective income tax rate by 5.0 percentage points) to reflect a net operating loss carryback to taxable years for which the corporate rate was 35% as compared to the current corporate rate of 21%.
We record liabilities for uncertain tax filing positions where it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustainable upon audit by taxing authorities. These liabilities are reevaluated routinely and are adjusted appropriately based on changes in facts or law. We have no unrecorded liabilities from uncertain tax filing positions.
At
June 30, 2020
, our federal income tax returns for years prior to 2014 are no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. We do not anticipate any assessments for tax years that remain subject to examination to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Outlook for 2020
The following discussion provides outlook information for our results of operations and capital position.
The impacts of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on our results continue to be highly uncertain and outside our control. The scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve in ways that are difficult or impossible to anticipate. In addition, because the unprecedented COVID-19 environment has only impacted our insurance operations for slightly more than three months, we do not believe its impact on our results for the first half of 2020 will be indicative of our results for the remainder of 2020. For additional information on the risks posed by COVID-19, see “Our business may be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak” included in Part II - Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
At the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we estimate that 2020 full year net income will be within a range of $2.80 to $3.00 per diluted share based on analysis of COVID-19 scenarios. The increase in the range from the Outlook for 2020 we discussed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 anticipates an increase in the Property and Casualty segment results as discussed below.
Horace Mann Educators Corporation
34
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Property and Casualty
Net written premiums for 2020 are expected to be below 2019 levels due to the recognition of $9.8 million of COVID-19 related premium credits in the second quarter and lower levels of new business due to the pandemic. Retention remains stable. We expect rate increases will continue to average in the low-single digits across the automobile and property books. The expense ratio is expected to be flat with the 2019 expense ratio of 26.9 points.
We experienced a lower level of automobile loss frequency resulting from temporary changes in policyholder driving patterns due to COVID-19 during the second quarter. Frequency was most favorably impacted in the month of April, with May and June levels rising sequentially. We anticipate frequency will continue to moderate as miles driven move back to near historic levels, but we project it will be lower than 2019 levels for the remainder of the year with an offsetting increase in severity. A 10% drop in automobile frequency represents approximately $2 million in pretax earnings per month, excluding the potential for higher severity.
In connection with the emergence of PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (together, PG&E) from bankruptcy on July 1, 2020, in the third quarter of 2020, we expect to recognize favorable prior year reserve development of approximately $4.8 million, pretax and net of reinsurance, along with the return of reinsurance reinstatement premiums of approximately $3.5 million, for a total of $8.3 million, related to the 2018 Camp Fire in California. The 2018 California Camp Fire generated gross losses of $150.0 million, and, net losses after reinsurance of $37.9 million pretax in 2018. See Part I - Item I, Note 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding the PG&E subrogation claims.
As a result, the Property and Casualty full-year combined ratio is expected to be 91% to 93%, including catastrophe losses of approximately 10 points, reflecting the higher level of catastrophes in the second quarter. We anticipate net investment income below our previous guidance due to lower than anticipated returns on limited partnership interests. Income for Property and Casualty is now anticipated to be in the range of $70 million to $75 million, reflecting the strong six-month results with the catastrophe losses assumption adjusted for the unusually high second quarter catastrophe losses.
Supplemental
Supplemental is anticipated to generate a pretax profit margin in the low to mid 20% range and net investment income should continue to benefit from portfolio repositioning. As a result, we continue to anticipate net income between $31 million and $33 million. New sales are being negatively impacted by school closings due to COVID-19, delaying the growth of this segment.
Retirement
Retirement net investment income is reflecting further spread compression with rates on new investments below the average portfolio earned rate, lower than anticipated returns on limited partnership interests, as well as the impact of lower invested assets as a result of the annuity reinsurance transaction and use of capital to purchase NTA. Market volatility may continue to impact DAC amortization and asset-based fees. The impact of lower net investment income is anticipated to be partially offset by a reduced level of operating expenses. As a result, we continue to expect net income for Retirement to be in the range of $22 million to $24 million.
Life
We continue to expect Life to generate net income between $10 million and $12 million, reflecting a reduced level of net investment income with mortality costs continuing to meet expectations.
As described in Critical Accounting Estimates, certain of our significant accounting measurements require the use of estimates and assumptions. As additional information becomes available, adjustments may be required. Those adjustments are charged or credited to income for the period in which the adjustments are made and may impact actual results compared to our estimates above. Additionally, see Forward-looking Information and Part II - Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as Part I - Items 1 and 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 concerning other important factors that could impact actual results. We believe that a projection of net income is not appropriate on a forward-looking basis because it is not possible to provide a valid forecast of net investment gains (losses), which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions based on information available at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of our consolidated assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity and net income. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to our consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that subsequent events and available information may differ markedly from management's judgments at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. We have discussed with the Audit Committee the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles as applied in our financial reporting. The discussions generally included such matters as the consistency of our accounting policies and their application, and the clarity and completeness of our consolidated financial statements, which include related disclosures. Information regarding our accounting policies pertaining to these topics is located in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
We have identified the following accounting estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
•
Valuation of hard-to-value fixed maturity securities, including evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments
•
Evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment
•
Valuation of life and annuity deferred policy acquisition costs
•
Valuation of liabilities for property and casualty unpaid claims and claim expenses
•
Valuation of investment contract and policy reserves
•
Valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed under purchase accounting
Compared to
December 31, 2019
, at
June 30, 2020
, there were no material changes to accounting policies for areas most subject to significant management judgments identified above. In addition to disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
, discussion of accounting policies, including certain sensitivity information, was presented in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Critical Accounting Estimates in that Form 10-K.
Results of Operations by Segment
Consolidated financial results primarily reflect the operating results of our four operating segments as well as the corporate and other line. These reporting segments are defined based on financial information we use to evaluate performance and to determine the allocation of resources (see Part I - Item I, Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a description of changes to our reporting segments).

On a reported basis, the 12.9 points of improvement in the automobile combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was mainly attributable to a 13.1 point reduction in the automobile underlying loss ratio* reflecting lower frequency as well as the ongoing benefit of profitability initiatives. We experienced a lower level of automobile loss frequency resulting from temporary changes in policyholder driving patterns due to COVID-19. Frequency was most favorably impacted in the month of April, with May and June levels rising sequentially, resulting in an average decline in frequency for the quarter of approximately 40%. The reported property combined ratio increased 2.3 points for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to a 9.3 point increase in

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
catastrophe losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the underlying property loss ratio* improved 6.3 points, reflecting lower non-catastrophe weather-related losses.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, total written premiums* decreased $18.2 million and $26.3 million, respectively, primarily due to a $9.8 million reduction in automobile written premiums* during the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 related credits equal to 15% of two months of automobile premiums. In addition, total written premiums declined due to lower automobile risks in force and a lower level of rate increases being implemented in 2020. For 2020, our full year rate plan anticipates low-single digit average rate increases (including states with no rate actions) for both automobile and property; average approved rate changes during the first
six
months of
2020
were 0.9% for automobile and 1.1% for property. Growth in sales* has slowed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, automobile written premiums* decreased $17.9 million and $25.3 million, respectively, significantly due to the aforementioned COVID-19 related credits. While the number of automobile risks in force has declined, the average written premium per risk and average earned premium per risk increased 2.5% and 3.6%, respectively, in the first six months of 2020. Based on risks in force, the automobile 12 month retention rate for new and renewal risks was
81.6%
which was comparable to a year ago. The number of educator risks has been stable relative to overall automobile risks as educators represented 85.4%, 85.5% and 85.5% of the automobile risks in force as of

We continue to evaluate and implement actions to further mitigate our risk exposure in catastrophe-prone areas of the country. Such actions could include, but are not limited to, non-renewal of property policies, restricted agent geographic placement, limitations on agent new business sales, further tightening of underwriting standards and increased utilization of third-party vendor products.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Supplemental sales* were $0.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, reflecting significantly lower sales volume primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic as sales are dependent on in-person events at schools. Persistency remains steady at 89.3%.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Supplemental contributed $9.5 million and $20.0 million, respectively, to net income, reflecting favorable trends in reserves and some short-term benefit from changes in policyholder behavior due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The non-cash impact from amortization of intangible assets recognized in connection with the purchase accounting of NTA reduced pretax net income by $3.2 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Retirement
(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2019, unless noted otherwise)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, net income increased $34.7 million and $21.6 million, respectively, reflecting the following factors:
•
prior period results include a $28.0 million pretax goodwill impairment charge related to the annuity reinsurance transaction in the second quarter of 2019
•
$5.6 million pretax of unfavorable DAC unlocking in the prior year quarter primarily due to accelerated amortization of the DAC asset associated with the reinsured annuity block, compared to $4.6 million of favorable DAC unlocking in the current year quarter due to equity market recovery
•
lower levels of net investment income in 2020, reflecting lower invested asset levels resulting from the prior year annuity reinsurance transaction and use of capital to purchase NTA as well as lower returns on limited partnership interests

, total annuity contract deposits* increased $2.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Variable annuity and fixed annuity deposits increased $7.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 2020
reflecting the value educators see in our Retirement savings vehicles.
At
June 30, 2020
, annuity assets under management were $154.0 million above a year ago primarily due to positive net inflows. Variable assets under management, excluding amounts held under the modified coinsurance agreement, increased by $70.0 million primarily due to positive net inflows. The year to date annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities, excluding reinsurance, decreased 7 basis points.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
We actively manage our interest rate risk exposure, considering a variety of factors, including earned interest rates, credited interest rates and the relationship between the expected durations of assets and liabilities. We estimate that over the next 12 months approximately $528.1 million of the Retirement and Life combined investment portfolio and related investable cash flows will be reinvested at current market rates. As interest rates remain at low levels, borrowers may prepay or redeem the securities with greater frequency in order to borrow at lower market rates, which could increase investable cash flows and exacerbate the reinvestment risk.
As a general guideline, for a 100 basis point decline in the average reinvestment rate and based on our existing policies and investment portfolio, the impact from investing in that lower interest rate environment could further reduce Retirement net investment income by approximately $2.0 million in year one and $6.1 million in year two, further reducing the annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities by approximately 8 basis points and 21 basis points in the respective periods, compared to the current period annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities. We could also consider potential changes in rates credited to policyholders, tempered by any restrictions on the ability to adjust policyholder rates due to minimum guaranteed crediting rates.
The expectation for future annualized net interest spreads on fixed annuities is also an important component in the amortization of DAC. In terms of the sensitivity of this amortization to the annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities, based on DAC as of
June 30, 2020
and assuming all other assumptions are met, a 10 basis point deviation in the current year targeted annualized net interest rate spread on fixed annuities assumption would impact amortization between $0.3 million and $0.4 million. This result may change depending on the magnitude and direction of any actual deviations but represents a range of reasonably likely experience for the noted assumption.
The annuity reinsurance agreement entered in the second quarter of 2019, which reinsured the $2.2 billion block of in force fixed annuities with a minimum crediting rate of 4.5%, helps mitigate the risk of not being able to generate appropriate spreads on the annuity business. Information regarding the interest crediting rates and balances equal to the minimum guaranteed rate for deferred annuity account values excluding the reinsured block is shown below.

We will continue to be disciplined in executing strategies to mitigate the negative impact on profitability of a sustained low interest rate environment. However, the success of these strategies may be affected by the factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other factors in this report.

%
Excluding accreted investment income on the deposit asset on reinsurance, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, net investment income decreased $13.8 million and $48.0 million, respectively. The decline was primarily due to a $2.1 billion reduction in invested assets from investments transferred under the annuity reinsurance transaction in the second quarter of 2019 as well as lower than expected returns on limited partnership interests.
For the six months ended
June 30, 2020
, the pretax net investment loss was primarily due to the change in fair value of equity securities as well as options that we use to hedge our fixed indexed annuity (FIA) and indexed universal life (IUL) products somewhat offset by gains in the related derivatives embedded in FIA. Pretax net investment gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 reflect a realized investment gain of $135.3 million recognized during the second quarter of 2019 in connection with the transfer of investments related to the annuity reinsurance transaction. Pretax net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities were up $125.1 million compared to a year ago, reflecting a decline in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield of 135 basis points that more than offset wider credit spreads for investment grade securities.

in fair value. This portfolio was 92.8% investment grade, based on fair value, with an average quality rating of A+. Our investment guidelines target single corporate issuer concentrations to 0.5% of invested assets for AAA or AA rated securities, 0.35% of invested assets for A or BBB rated securities, and $5.0 million for non-investment grade securities.
Fixed Maturity Securities - COVID-19 Related Impacts
In late 2016, we determined the economy was approaching later stages of the credit cycle and began to upgrade portfolio quality. Over the past three years, recessionary expectations were extended due to the fiscal stimulus, which lengthened the credit cycle. In 2019, management determined that it had achieved its investment initiatives and the portfolio was well positioned for any dislocation in the markets.
That proactive effort to improve portfolio quality resulted in a significant reduction in BBB-rated corporate credit, high yield and below-investment-grade structured securities. During this same period, purchases focused on government agency and agency mortgage-backed securities and high quality corporate bonds and municipal securities. Today, that proactive flight to quality has the investment portfolio in all insurance subsidiaries well positioned for market disruptions with ample liquidity.
Further, we believe the investment portfolio is well positioned to withstand an extended period of elevated investment market volatility, and has relatively modest exposure to asset sectors that it expects to be most impacted by the public health response to COVID-19. While we expect other segments of the economy to be disrupted, we believe these effects will be most acute in these sectors. Exposure to these sectors totals 6.8% of the investment portfolio, and as of
June 30, 2020
, informed by extensive stress testing and portfolio review, management continues to hold the following securities in the sectors that have experienced more pronounced price dislocation due to their perceived exposure to COVID-19 related impacts:

At
June 30, 2020
, the AA rated fair value amount included $374.9 million of U.S. Government and federally sponsored agency securities and $706.0 million of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities issued by U.S. Government and federally sponsored agencies.

This category primarily represents private placement and municipal securities not rated by either S&P, Moody's or Fitch.
At
June 30, 2020
, the fixed maturity securities portfolio had $72.3 million of pretax gross unrealized investment losses on $1,142.3 million of fair value related to 703 positions. Of the investment positions with gross unrealized losses, there were 32 trading below 80.0% of the carrying value at
June 30, 2020

Investments
Information regarding our investment portfolio, which is comprised primarily of investment grade fixed maturity securities, is presented in Part I - Item 1, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as Part I - Item 2 - Investments Results in this report.
Cash Flow
Our short-term liquidity requirements, within a 12 month operating cycle, are for the timely payment of claims and benefits to policyholders, operating expenses, interest payments and federal income taxes. Cash flow generated from operations has been, and is expected to be, adequate to meet our operating cash needs in the next 12 months. Cash flow in excess of operational needs has been used to fund business growth, pay dividends to shareholders and repurchase shares of our common stock. Long-term liquidity requirements, beyond one year, are principally for the payment of future insurance and annuity policy claims and benefits, as well as retirement of debt. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows activity for the periods indicated.

Operating Activities
As a holding company, we conduct our principal operations in the personal lines segment of the property and casualty and life insurance industries through our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries generate cash flow from premium and investment income, generally well in excess of their immediate needs for policy obligations, operating expenses and other cash requirements. Cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects net cash generated by the insurance subsidiaries.
For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, net cash provided by operating activities increased $67.8 million, primarily due to lower claims paid on insurance policies in the current year partially offset by lower investment income collected in the current year as a result of a $2.1 billion reduction of invested assets from investments transferred under the annuity reinsurance transaction in the second quarter of 2019.
Investing Activities
Our insurance subsidiaries maintain significant investments in fixed maturity securities to meet future contractual obligations to policyholders. In conjunction with our management of liquidity and other asset/liability management objectives, we, from time to time, will sell fixed maturity securities prior to maturity, and reinvest the proceeds into other investments with different interest rates, maturities or credit characteristics. Accordingly, we have classified the entire fixed maturity securities portfolio as available for sale.
Financing Activities
Financing activities include primarily payment of dividends, receipt and withdrawal of funds by annuity contractholders, changes in the deposit asset on reinsurance, issuances and repurchases of our common stock, fluctuations in book overdraft balances, and borrowings, repayments and repurchases related to debt facilities.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (HMLIC) and NTA (both subsidiaries of HMEC) operate under funding agreements with FHLB. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, HMLIC and NTA collectively received $95.5 million from FHLB under funding agreements and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, HMLIC received $50.0 million from FHLB under a funding agreement. Receipt of these funds are reported in Annuity Contracts: Variable, Fixed and FHLB Funding Agreements, Deposits in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Advances to HMLIC and NTA from FHLB under funding agreements totaled $590.5 million as of
June 30, 2020
. For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, cash inflows from annuity contract deposits (excluding the $95.5 million received from FHLB in the current year and the $50.0 million received from FHLB in the prior year) increased $13.2 million, or 6.1%, compared to the prior year period. Cash outflows from annuity contract benefits, withdrawals and net transfers to Separate Account (variable annuity) assets decreased $17.3 million, or 8.1%, compared to the prior year period.
Capital Resources
We have determined the amount of capital which is needed to adequately fund and support business growth, primarily based on risk-based capital formulas including those developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Historically, our insurance subsidiaries have generated capital in excess of such needed capital. These excess amounts have been paid to us through dividends. We have then utilized these dividends and our access to the capital markets to fund growth initiatives, service and retire debt, pay dividends to our shareholders, repurchase shares of our common stock and for other corporate purposes. If necessary, we also have other potential sources of liquidity that could provide for additional funding to meet corporate obligations or pay shareholder dividends, which include a revolving line of credit, as well as issuances of various securities. The insurance subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory restrictions which limit the amount of annual dividends or other distributions, including loans or cash advances, available to us without prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities. The aggregate amount of dividends that may be paid in 2020 from all of our insurance subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval is $105.3 million, excluding the impact and timing of prior dividends, of which $103.0 million was paid during the six months ended
June 30, 2020
. We anticipate that our sources of capital will continue to generate sufficient capital to meet the needs for business growth, debt interest payments, shareholder dividends and our share repurchase program. Additional information is contained in Part II - Item 8, Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Total capital was $2,077.0 million at
June 30, 2020
, including $437.2 million of short-term and long-term debt. Total debt represented
21.0%
of total capital including net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities (24.3% excluding net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities*) at
June 30, 2020
, which was below our long-term target of 25%.
Shareholders' equity was
$1,639.8 million
at
June 30, 2020
, including net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio of $279.1 million after taxes and the related impact of DAC associated with investment contracts and life insurance products with account values. The market value of our common stock and the market value per share were $1,517.5 million and $36.73, respectively, at
June 30, 2020
. Book value per share was
$39.69
at June 30, 2020 (
$32.93
excluding net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities*).
Additional information regarding net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio at
June 30, 2020
is included in Part I - Item 1, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as in Part I - Item 2 - Investment Results in this report.
Total shareholder dividends paid were $24.8 million for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
. In March and May 2020, the Board of Directors (Board) approved regular quarterly dividends of $0.30 per share.
For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, we repurchased 52,095 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $41.17 under our share repurchase program, which is further described in Part II - Item 8, Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. As of
June 30, 2020
, $20.6 million remained authorized for future share repurchases under the share repurchase program.

We designate debt obligations as "long-term" based on maturity date at issuance.
As of
June 30, 2020
, we had outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes (Senior Notes), which will mature on December 1, 2025, issued at a discount resulting in an effective yield of 4.53%. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 4.50%. Detailed information regarding the redemption terms of the Senior Notes is contained in the Part II - Item 8, Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Senior Notes are traded in the open market (HMN 4.50).
As of
June 30, 2020
, we had $54.0 million of borrowings outstanding with FHLB. The Board has authorized a maximum amount equal to 15% of net aggregate admitted assets less separate account assets of the insurance subsidiaries for FHLB borrowings. For the total $54.0 million received, $4.0 million matures on May 17, 2021, $25.0 million matures on October 5, 2022 and $25.0 million matures on December 2, 2022. Interest on the borrowings accrue at an annual weighted average rate of 0.52% as of
June 30, 2020
. The $54.0 million of FHLB borrowings is reported as Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of
June 30, 2020
, we had $135.0 million of short-term debt outstanding under our Bank Credit Facility. On June 21, 2019, we, as borrower, replaced our current line of credit with a new five-year Credit Agreement (Bank Credit Facility). The new Bank Credit Facility increased the amount available on this senior revolving credit facility to $225.0 million from $150.0 million. PNC Capital Markets, LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. served as joint leads on the new agreement, with The Northern Trust Company, U.S. Bank National Association, KeyBank National Association, Comerica Bank and Illinois National Bank participating in the syndicate. Terms and conditions of the new Bank Credit Facility are substantially consistent with the prior agreement, with an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 115 basis points.
On July 1, 2019, we utilized the senior revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of NTA. As of
June 30, 2020
, the amount outstanding on the senior revolving credit facility was $135.0 million. The $90.0 million unused portion of the Bank Credit Facility is available for use and subject to a variable commitment fee, which was 0.15% on an annual basis at
June 30, 2020
.
To provide additional capital management flexibility, we filed a "universal shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 13, 2018. The registration statement, which registered the offer and sale from time to time of an indeterminate amount of various securities, which may include debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, delayed delivery contracts and/or units that include any of these securities, was automatically effective on March 13, 2018. Unless withdrawn by us earlier, this registration statement will remain effective through March 13, 2021. No securities associated with the registration statement have been issued at the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On March 13, 2018, we filed a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which became effective on May 2, 2018. Under this registration statement, we may from time to time offer and issue up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock in connection with future acquisitions of other businesses, assets or securities. Unless withdrawn by us, this registration statement will remain effective indefinitely. No securities associated with the registration statement have been issued at the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

COVID-19 Liquidity and Capital Resources Considerations
The various impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy, our operations and our investment portfolio have been material. Nonetheless we believe that the liquidity available to our holding company and its operating subsidiaries remains adequate and we do not foresee a need to suspend ordinary dividends or seek additional sources of capital at this time. Our current forecast assumes a return to a normal operating environment within six months, and as such, capital and liquidity are expected to remain at or near target levels during that period.
Financial Ratings
Our principal insurance subsidiaries are rated by S&P, Moody's, A.M. Best Company, Inc. (A.M. Best) and Fitch. These rating agencies have also assigned ratings to our Senior Notes. The ratings that are assigned by these agencies, which are subject to change, can impact, among other things, our access to sources of capital, cost of capital, and competitive position. These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of our securities.
All four agencies currently have assigned the same insurance financial strength ratings to our Property and Casualty and Life insurance subsidiaries. Only A.M. Best currently rates our Supplemental segment's subsidiaries. Assigned ratings and respective affirmation/review dates as of
July 31, 2020

Information regarding the reinsurance programs for our Property and Casualty, Supplemental and Life segments is located in Part II - Item 8, Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
Effective April 1, 2019, we reinsured a block of approximately $2.9 billion of individual annuity policy liabilities to AA- S&P rated RGA Reinsurance Company, a subsidiary of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA). The block includes $2.2 billion of fixed annuities reinsured under coinsurance and $0.7 billion of variable annuities reinsured under modified coinsurance. RGA's financial obligations for the general account liabilities of the reinsured annuity contracts are secured by its assets placed in a comfort trust for our sole use and benefit. Upon RGA's material breach of the reinsurance agreement, deterioration of its risk-based capital ratio to a certain level, or certain other events, we may recapture the reinsured business.
ITEM 3.
I
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market value risk, our primary market risk exposure, is the risk that our invested assets will decrease in value. This decrease in value may be due to (1) a change in the yields realized on our assets and prevailing market yields for similar assets, (2) an unfavorable change in the liquidity of an investment, (3) an unfavorable change in the financial prospects of the issuer of an investment, or (4) a downgrade in the credit rating of the issuer of an investment. Also see Consolidated Results of Operations in Part I - Item 2 of this report regarding net investment gains (losses).
Horace Mann Educators Corporation
52
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Significant changes in interest rates expose us to the risk of experiencing losses or earning a reduced level of income based on the difference between the interest rates earned on our investments and the credited interest rates on our insurance and investment contract liabilities. Also see Consolidated Results of Operations in Part I - Item 2 of this report regarding interest credited to policyholders.
We seek to manage our market value risk by coordinating the projected cash inflows of assets with the projected cash outflows of liabilities. For all of our assets and liabilities, we seek to maintain reasonable durations, consistent with the maximization of income without sacrificing investment quality, while providing for liquidity and diversification. The investment risk associated with variable annuity deposits and the underlying mutual funds is assumed by those contractholders, and not by us. Certain fees that we earn from variable annuity deposits are based on the market value of the funds deposited.
More detailed descriptions of our exposure to market value risks and the management of those risks is contained in Part II - Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019

Controls and Procedures
Management's Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (Exchange Act), as of
June 30, 2020
. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. No material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures were identified in the evaluation and therefore, no corrective actions were taken. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as noted below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On July 1, 2019, we completed our acquisition of NTA. We are in the process of integrating NTA and our controls over financial reporting. As a result of these integration activities, certain controls will be evaluated and may be changed. Therefore, we have elected to exclude NTA from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2020
.
Concurrent with the NTA acquisition, changes were made to the relevant business processes in order to monitor and maintain appropriate controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.
I
Risk Factors
At the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe there are no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I - Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
. However, the following risk factor has emerged as a result of events that occurred subsequent to year end.
Our business may be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak.
The global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was initially reported in December and has developed into a worldwide crisis over the subsequent months, causing significant human suffering and widespread economic damage. By early 2020, COVID-19 spread across the world and efforts to contain the disease intensified. The affects of the outbreak on the U.S. economy, our customers, our agents, our employees, our investments and our communities, as well as any preventative or protective actions that we, our employees and agency force, our third-party service providers and suppliers, or governments may take to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 could have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business and on our financial condition and results of operations. Impacts to our business could be widespread and material impacts may result, including but not limited to, the following:
•
employees contracting COVID-19;
•
reductions in our operating effectiveness as our employees work from home;
•
sustained lack of access to schools and teachers that could materially impact our sales and premium volumes;
•
public school systems facing budget constraints due to the economic impacts of the pandemic that could result in educator layoffs;
•
unprecedented volatility in financial markets that could materially affect our investment portfolio valuations and returns as well as our ability to generate targeted spreads on the indexed products;
•
regulatory mandates and/or legislative changes, including premium grace periods and premium credits;
•
changes in frequency and/or severity of claims;
•
increased credit risk;
•
business disruption for insurance agents who market and sell our insurance products; and
•
business disruptions to third parties at which we outsource certain business functions to or on which we rely for technology.
Any resulting impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations due to the foregoing cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although the results may be felt for a significant period of time. The full extent to which COVID-19 could affect the global economy, the financial markets and our business, its financial condition and its results of operations will depend on future developments and factors that cannot be predicted.
