NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 auto and property insurance), life insurance products, retirement products (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities), worksite direct insurance products (primarily cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability and accident coverages), and employer-sponsored group benefit products (primarily short-term and long-term group disability, and group term life coverages), primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families (collectively, HMEC, the Company or Horace Mann).

The Company conducts and manages its business in four reporting segments: (1) Property & Casualty, (2) Life & Retirement, (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits and (4) Corporate & Other.

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 thereto 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, 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are unaudited and 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 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting 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.

The most significant critical accounting estimates include valuation of hard-to-value fixed maturity securities, evaluation of credit loss impairments for fixed maturity securities, valuation of future policy benefit reserves, and valuation of liabilities for property and casualty unpaid claims and claim expense reserves.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This update will improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			5			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 includes: 1) a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, 2) a requirement to disclose an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, 3) a requirement to disclose a reportable segments profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, 4) clarifies that in addition to the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a public entity is not precluded from reporting additional measures of a segment's profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and 5) a requirement to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will have no net impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update will improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.

This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will have no net impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 2 - Investments (continued)

The Company, from time to time, sells fixed maturity securities subsequent to the reporting date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements that were in an unrealized loss position but no credit loss was recognized and there was no intent to sell the securities 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 to sell a fixed maturity security. 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.

NOTE 2 - Investments (continued)

The following table presents the fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company views the decrease in fair value of all of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2024 as due to factors other than a credit loss. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses before a recovery of the amortized cost basis. In reaching our conclusion that an allowance for credit is unnecessary, we considered the factors described in the evaluation of credit loss impairments for fixed maturity securities critical accounting estimate in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the current three months ended March 31, 2024, the performance of fixed maturity securities has been impacted by the change in interest rates, specifically interest rates being at relatively high levels compared to interest rates at the time of acquisition of the securities. In consideration of the factors, we expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities in the following table.

NOTE 2 - Investments (continued)

With regards to fixed maturity securities that had gross unrealized losses more than 12 months, the number of positions by their respective credit ratings were as follows:


	Number of Positions
	March 31, 2024	December 31, 2023

Totals:	2,213	2,305

Fixed maturity securities with an investment grade rating represented 95.9% of the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2024. For the same reasons discussed above, we expect to receive cash flow sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities in the previous table.

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, estimated expected maturities consider broker-dealer survey prepayment assumptions and are verified for consistency with the interest rate and economic environments.

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 provides that the Company will receive or pledge financial collateral in the event minimum thresholds have been reached. The Company’s reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to enforceable master netting arrangements but there was no offsetting in their presentation in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Information regarding the Company's derivatives is contained in Part II - Item 8, Note 4 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The following table presents instruments that were subject to a master netting arrangement for the Company.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In connection with reverse repurchase agreements, the Company transfers primarily U.S. government, government agency and corporate securities and receives cash. For reverse repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash in an amount equal to at least 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred, and the agreements with third parties contain contractual provisions to allow for additional collateral to be obtained when necessary. The Company accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as secured borrowings. The securities transferred under reverse repurchase agreements are included in Fixed maturity securities with the obligation to repurchase those securities reported in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities transferred was $51.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and $0.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The obligation for securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements was a net amount of $50.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and $0.0 million December 31, 2023.

Deposits

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, fixed maturity securities with a fair value of $27.0 million and $29.2 million were on deposit with governmental agencies as required by law in various states for which the insurance subsidiaries of HMEC conduct business. In addition, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, fixed maturity securities with a fair value of $1,014.4 million and $987.2 million, respectively, were on deposit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) as collateral for amounts subject to funding agreements, advances and borrowings which were equal to $929.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and $904.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The deposited securities are reported as Fixed maturity securities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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) and EMA limited partnership interests 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 appropriate matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

Information regarding the three-level fair value 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 3 of the

(3)Transfers into and out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were related to changes in the primary pricing source and changes in observability of external information used in determining fair value. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers into and out of the levels as having occurred at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers were determined.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a $0.1 million net investment gain on Level 3 financial assets that was included in net income and was attributable to the change in fair value. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no net investment losses on Level 3 financial assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, a net investment loss of $1.3 million and $0.2 million , respectively, were included in net income that were attributable to changes in the fair value of Level 3 financial liabilities.

NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for financial assets and financial liabilities classified as Level 3 are subject to the processes as described in Part II - Item 8, Note 3 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Generally, valuation techniques for corporate bonds include using discounted cash flow techniques where the unobservable input is the yield. The yield used for the valuation of these fixed maturity securities is less observable than securities classified as Level 2.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

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 3 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Separate Account Liabilities

Separate account assets and liabilities consist of investment accounts established and maintained by the Company for certain variable contracts. Some of these variable contracts include minimum guarantees such as GMDBs that guarantee a minimum payment to the policyholder in the event of death.

The assets that support variable contracts are measured at fair value and are reported as separate account assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities. MRB assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and presented separately from separate account assets and separate account liabilities. MRBs are discussed further in the market risk benefits section of this Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality,

NOTE 6 - Reinsurance

The Company recognizes the cost of reinsurance premiums over the contract periods for such premiums in proportion to the insurance protection provided. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid claims and claim settlement expenses, including estimated amounts for unsettled claims, claims incurred but not yet reported and policy benefits, are estimated in a manner consistent with the insurance liability associated with the policy. The effects of reinsurance on net premiums written and contract deposits; net premiums and contract charges earned; and benefits, claims and settlement expenses were as follows:

NOTE 7 - Segment Information

The Company conducts and manages its business in four reporting segments. The three operating segments, representing the major lines of business, are: (1) Property & Casualty (primarily personal lines of auto and property insurance products), (2) Life & Retirement (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities as well as life insurance products), and (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits (primarily cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability, accident, short-term and long-term group disability, and group term life coverages). 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 fourth reporting segment, Corporate & Other. In addition to ongoing transactions such as corporate debt service, net investment gains (losses) and certain public company expenses, such items in Corporate & Other have also included corporate debt retirement costs, when applicable.

Summarized financial information for these segments is as follows:

NOTE 8 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

AOCI represents the accumulated change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-shareholder sources. For the Company, AOCI includes the after tax change in net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities, the after tax change in net reserve remeasurements attributable to discount rates and the after tax change in net funded status of benefit plans for the periods as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Lawsuits and Legal Proceedings

Companies in the insurance industry have been subject to substantial litigation resulting from claims, disputes and other matters. For instance, they have faced expensive claims, including class action lawsuits, alleging, among other things, improper sales practices and improper claims settlement procedures. Negotiated settlements of certain such actions have had a material adverse effect on many insurance companies. At the time of issuance of this Interim Report on Form 10-Q, except as noted below, the Company does not have pending litigation from which there is a reasonable possibility of material loss.

In 2023, the Horace Mann Insurance Company (HMIC) was named as a defendant in one lawsuit and received various demands for reimbursement and notices of claims related to legacy, long-tail commercial lines claims, including asbestos, environmental, and sexual molestation claims. It is alleged that HMIC reinsured certain commercial lines policies as a member of various insurance pooling arrangements in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The related policies were written prior to the 1975 acquisition of Horace Mann by INA discussed in Part I - Item 1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. HMEC’s available records indicate that on January 1, 1975, HMIC entered a quota share retrocession treaty with INA. It is the Company’s understanding that claims arising under these legacy policies were handled by various third parties pursuant to the terms of that treaty and its subsequent amendments entered into on behalf of HMIC. Ultimately, after amendments to the treaty and various corporate transactions involving the reinsurer, these obligations were assumed by companies that were affiliated with R&Q Reinsurance Company (R&Q).

The matters noted above arose following the March 23, 2023, Order of Liquidation in Pennsylvania of R&Q. HMIC is defending itself against the pending litigation and is in the process of investigating and evaluating the other demands and claims notices under a complete reservation of rights. In addition, in order to preserve its rights, HMIC submitted a proof of claim in the pending R&Q liquidation proceeding.

The amounts claimed against HMIC, if successful, could be material. However, based on the preliminary nature of the matters, the information available to date and considering the legal and factual challenges to the litigation and claims, it is not possible to provide a reasonable estimate of any resultant payment.

Investment Commitments

The Company has outstanding commitments to fund investments primarily in limited partnership interests. Such unfunded commitments were $524.6 million and $502.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

ITEM 2. I Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Measures within this MD&A that are not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (non-GAAP) are marked with an asterisk (*) the first time they are presented within this Part I - Item 2. An explanation of these measures is contained in the Glossary of Selected Terms included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are reconciled to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) in the Appendix to the Company's First Quarter 2024 Investor Supplement.

Increases or decreases in this MD&A that are not meaningful are marked "N.M.".

Statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical in nature are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Horace Mann Educators Corporation (referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as "we", "our", "us", the "Company", "Horace Mann" or "HMEC") is an insurance holding company. We are not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaim any such obligation to) update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. It is important to note that our actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties inherent in our business. Also, see Part I - Items 1 and 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information regarding risks and uncertainties.

Corporate Strategy

Our vision is to be the company of choice to provide insurance and financial solutions for all educators and others who serve their communities, whether they engage with Horace Mann directly or through their district/employer. We believe the unique value of Horace Mann is providing solutions tailored for educators at each stage of their lives, empowering them to achieve lifelong financial success. Our motivation stems from our gratitude for educators: They are looking after our children's futures, and we believe they deserve someone to look after theirs. Our commitment to having a positive impact on our customers' lives extends to all our corporate stakeholders, including employees, agents, investors and the communities where we live and work.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			32			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

We conduct and manage our business in four reporting segments. The three reporting segments representing our major lines of business, are: (1) Property & Casualty (primarily personal lines of auto and property insurance products), (2) Life & Retirement (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities as well as life insurance products), and (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits (primarily cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability, accident, short-term and long-term group disability, and group term life coverages). We do not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to these reporting segments, consistent with the basis for management's evaluation of the results of those segments, but classify those items in the fourth reporting segment, Corporate & 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. See Part I - Item 1, Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Net Premiums and Contract Charges Earned

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net premiums and contract charges earned increased $19.3 million as the Property & Casualty segment continues to implement and earn in rate and other actions.

Net Investment Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total net investment income increased $5.0 million primarily due to stronger income from the fixed income portfolio partially offset by weaker returns in one commercial mortgage loan fund and two real estate-related limited partnerships. The annualized investment yield on the portfolio excluding limited partnership interests* was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2024	2023
Investment yield, excluding limited partnership interests, pretax - annualized*		4.5%	4.7%
Investment yield, excluding limited partnership interests, after tax - annualized*		3.6%	3.7%

The lower investment yields, excluding limited partnership interests, are due to commercial mortgage loan fund returns that were below historic averages in the first quarter of 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we continued to identify and purchase investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields relative to market conditions without venturing into asset classes or individual securities that would be inconsistent with our overall investment guidelines for the core portfolio. We continue to fund at levels that allow us to maintain our targeted allocation to commercial mortgage loan funds and limited partnership interests while maintaining balance between principal protection and risk.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			34			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

Net Investment Gains (Losses)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total net investment gains increased by $6.1 million, respectively. The breakdown of net investment gains (losses) by transaction type were as follows:


($ in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2024		2023
Credit loss and intent-to-sell impairments		$	(0.9)	$	—
Sales and other, net		(0.1)		(2.4)
Change in fair value - equity securities		2.6		(1.0)
Change in fair value and gains (losses) realized on settlements - derivatives		0.6		(0.5)
Net investment gains (losses)		$	2.2	$	(3.9)

From time to time, we may sell fixed maturity securities subsequent to the reporting date that were considered temporarily impaired at such 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 a fixed maturity security.

Other Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other income increased $1.7 million due to lower offsets compared to the prior year from an indemnification agreement associated with the employer-sponsored business line.

Benefits, Claims and Settlement Expenses

Benefits, claims and settlement expenses declined $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to moderated catastrophe and non-catastrophe weather activity compared to prior year in the Property & Casualty segment and a favorable market risk benefit adjustment in the Life & Retirement segment.

Interest Credited

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest credited increased $4.2 million driven primarily by higher interest rates on advances received from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). The net contribution from FHLB advances remained stable year over year as the higher interest credited rates are offset by higher earnings from the floating rate investments backing the program.

Under the deposit method of accounting, the interest credited on the reinsured annuity block continues to be reported. The average deferred annuity credited rate, excluding the reinsured annuity block, was 3.0% and 2.6% as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating expenses increased 5.9% reflecting inflation and investments being made in infrastructure.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (DAC) Amortization Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, DAC amortization expense increased $3.3 million primarily due to premium increases in the Property & Casualty segment driving higher DAC asset levels.

Intangible Asset Amortization Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, intangible asset amortization expense decreased $0.1 million.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest expense increased $2.0 million due to an increase in the interest rate as well as a $48.2 million increase in the the level of debt associated with the issuance of the 2023 Senior Notes.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate on our pretax income, including net investment gains (losses), was 19.7% and 18.5% for the the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income from investments in tax-


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			35			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

advantaged securities decreased the effective income tax rates by 2.5, and 5.3 percentage points for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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.

As of March 31, 2024, our federal income tax returns for years prior to 2020 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 2024

The following discussion provides forward-looking outlook information for our results of operations and capital position.

Consolidated Results

At the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we estimate that 2024 full year net income will be within a range of $3.00 to $3.30 per diluted share, generating a core return on equity* near 9%. This range is unchanged from our Outlook for 2024 we discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These results anticipate the following:

•8% to 9% increase in Net premiums and contract charges earned driven by Property & Casualty rate actions

•Net investment income at the low end of the previously disclosed range of $465 million to $475 million, which includes approximately $105 million of accreted investment income on the deposit asset on reinsurance in the Life & Retirement segment

•Approximately 5.5% increase in total Operating expense

•Approximately $35 million in corporate Interest expense included in results for the Corporate & Other segment

Property & Casualty Segment

In 2024, net income for Property & Casualty is anticipated to be in the range of $36 million to $41 million. Our outlook anticipates:

•Combined ratio near 100%

•Catastrophe loss assumption of approximately $80 million or around 11% of net earned premiums – in line with five-year average and consistent with historical frequencies and current severities applied to modeled exposures

We anticipate achieving our longer-term Property & Casualty combined ratio target of 95-96% in 2025.

Life & Retirement Segment

In 2024, net income for Life & Retirement is anticipated to be in the range of $77 million to $81 million. Our outlook anticipates:

•Spread on the fixed annuity business above the target range of 220 to 230 basis points

•Mortality modestly higher than 2023

Supplemental & Group Benefits Segment

In 2024, net income for Supplemental & Group Benefits is anticipated to be in the range of $47 million to $50 million. Our outlook anticipates:


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			36			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

•Claims utilization for supplemental and disability products returning to near pre-pandemic levels, leading to a segment benefit ratio closer to longer-term target of 43%

•Pretax profit on revenue of between 20% and 21%

As described in Application of 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 net 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 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, 2023 concerning other important factors that could impact actual results. Our projections due not include a forecast of net investment gains (losses), which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.

Application of 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, 2023. In addition, discussion of accounting policies, including certain sensitivity information, was presented in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Application of Critical Accounting Estimates in that Form 10-K within which we 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

•Evaluation of credit loss impairments for fixed maturity securities

•Valuation of future policy benefit reserves

•Valuation of liabilities for property and casualty unpaid claims and claim expense reserves

Compared to December 31, 2023, as of March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to accounting policies for areas most subject to significant management judgments identified above.

Results of Operations by Segment

Consolidated financial results reflect the results of the Property & Casualty, Life & Retirement, and Supplemental & Group Benefits reporting segments, as well as the Corporate & Other reporting segment. These segments are defined based on financial information management uses to evaluate performance and to determine the allocation of resources. The following sections provide analysis and discussion of the results of operations for each of the reporting segments as well as investment results.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			37			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

Property & Casualty

The Property & Casualty segment primarily markets private passenger auto insurance and residential home insurance. Horace Mann offers standard auto coverages, including liability, collision and comprehensive. Property coverage includes both homeowners and renters policies. For both auto and property coverage, Horace Mann offers educators a discounted rate and the Educator Advantage® package of features. The Property & Casualty segment represented 46% of total revenues in 2023.

(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2023, unless noted otherwise)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income reflected the following factors:

•Increases in average written premium per policy

•Significantly lower underlying auto and property loss ratios* due to rate actions and a decline in non-catastrophe weather-related losses

•Catastrophe losses lower than prior year by over 5 points

•Higher net investment income on limited partnership portfolio

Horace Mann Educators Corporation			39			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

The Property & Casualty segment net income of $10.6 million and combined ratio of 99.9% for the first quarter largely reflected the impact of moderated catastrophe and non-catastrophe weather activity compared to prior year, as well as the effect of rate and non-rate underwriting actions. Property & Casualty net premiums written were up 15.4%, with average written premiums rising for both property and auto. In addition, segment net investment income for the quarter was significantly above the prior year, when limited partnership returns were negative, primarily driven by lower private equity valuation adjustments. Sales were strong for the quarter, up 34.9% from the prior year, and household retention remains stable.

The first-quarter loss ratio decreased 12.5 points over last year, reflecting both catastrophe losses that were above historical averages, but lower than prior year, as well as a decrease in non-catastrophe weather losses. Catastrophe losses for the quarter were $16.2 million, pretax, contributing 9.3 points to the combined ratio. In total, there were 19 events designated as catastrophes by Property Claims Services (PCS) in this year’s first quarter. In the first quarter of 2023, catastrophe losses were $22.4 million, pretax, contributing 14.7 points to the combined ratio, from 23 PCS events.

The year-over-year increase in average written premiums for auto policies improved again in the first quarter to 17.5%, with retention declining slightly given the substantial increases in average written premium. The first-quarter auto underlying loss ratio was 71.7%, improving 9.0 points from the prior year quarter, reflecting the benefit of rate and non-rate underwriting actions and less severe weather.

The year-over-year increase in average written premiums for property policies was 16.1% in the first quarter, as rate increases and inflation adjustments to coverage values continue to take effect and retention remains strong The first-quarter property underlying loss ratio was 45.0%, reflecting the increase in average written premium and a year-over-year decline in weather losses not included in designated catastrophe events.

We continue to evaluate and implement actions to further mitigate our exposure and respond to severe weather trends. We are addressing the increased loss costs associated with the more severe weather events in three ways: additional filed rate, product changes and enhanced modeling tools.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			40			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

Life & Retirement

The Life & Retirement segment markets 403(b) tax-qualified fixed, fixed indexed and variable annuities; the Horace Mann Retirement Advantage® open architecture platform for 403(b)(7) and other defined contribution plans; and other retirement products to educators as well as traditional term and whole life insurance products. Horace Mann is one of the largest participants in the K-12 educator portion of the 403(b) tax-qualified annuity market, measured by 403(b) net premiums written on a statutory accounting basis. The Life & Retirement segment represented 36% of total revenues in 2023.

(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2023, unless noted otherwise)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income reflected the following factors:

•Annualized quarterly net interest spread on fixed annuities down 83 basis points

•Life mortality costs consistent with prior year and a favorable market risk benefit adjustment in Retirement

•Net contribution from FHLB funding agreements remained stable year over year as net investment income reflected higher earnings from the floating rate investments backing the program and interest credited similarly reflected offsetting higher interest expense

Life & Retirement segment net income for the quarter of $11.7 million was down 16.4%, primarily due to a lower net interest spread. The spread was affected by lower returns related to valuation adjustments in two real estate-related limited partnership funds and one commercial mortgage loan fund. Benefits and change in reserves benefited from a favorable market risk benefit adjustment. While the net contribution from our FHLB funding agreements remained stable compared with 2023, higher FHLB borrowing costs drove the higher interest credited expense.

For the Retirement business, net annuity contract deposits were down 4.3% for the quarter at $104.5 million. Educators continue to begin their relationship with Horace Mann through 403(b) retirement savings products, which provide encouraging cross-sell opportunities. Average persistency has declined slightly from the prior year, with the decline in the persistency of non-qualified business more significant than the declines in the qualified business.

Horace Mann currently has $5.3 billion in annuity assets under management, including $2.1 billion of fixed annuities, $2.8 billion of variable annuities and $0.4 billion of fixed indexed annuities. Assets under administration, which includes Horace Mann Retirement Advantage® and other advisory and recordkeeping assets, continue to benefit from the strong equity markets.

Life annualized sales were $2.3 million for the quarter and persistency remains strong. Life insurance in force rose to $20.6 billion at quarter-end.

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


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			42			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

estimate that over the next 12 months approximately $496.1 million of the Life & Retirement investment portfolio and related investable cash flows will be reinvested at current market rates.

As a general guideline, based on our existing policies and investment portfolio, the impact from a 100 basis point decline in the average reinvestment rate would reduce Life & Retirement net investment income by approximately $1.9 million in year one and $5.8 million in year two, reducing the annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities by approximately 6 basis points and 20 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 guaranteed minimum crediting rates.

Supplemental & Group Benefits

The Supplemental & Group Benefits segment markets employer-sponsored group solutions for districts and other public employers, as well as worksite direct products typically distributed through the employer channel. The Worksite business provides group term life, disability and specialty health insurance, along with supplemental products including cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability and accident coverages. The Supplemental & Group Benefits segment represented 19% of total revenues in 2023.

(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2023, unless noted otherwise)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income reflected the following factors:

•Decline in premium due to run-off of an indemnified block of employer-sponsored products; net premiums earned increased 4.1% excluding the run-off

•Lower net investment income

•Higher benefits ratio for worksite direct products reflecting the anticipated increase in utilization

Supplemental & Group Benefits segment net income for the quarter was $11.0 million compared to $14.0 million in the prior year. The decline was due to lower net investment income and a higher benefits ratio. Segment net investment income declined 14.3% in the quarter, driven primarily by lower returns from two real estate equity funds. The benefit ratio for the worksite direct product line continued to move upward, approaching the longer-term target. The benefit ratio for the employer-sponsored product lines was 3 points lower than the prior year and remains below the longer-term target. The non-cash impact of amortization of intangible assets under purchase accounting reduced core earnings by $3.6 million, pretax, in both current and prior year.

Total segment sales for the quarter were $6.6 million, down 19.5% over the prior year, with worksite direct supplemental product sales of $3.3 million and employer-sponsored products of $3.3 million. The unfavorable comparison to prior year is partially due to a large employer-sponsored sale in the first quarter 2023. Employer sponsored sales may vary significantly between comparable periods due to differences in average case size. Persistency remains strong for the segment.

Investment Results

(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2023, unless noted otherwise)

Our investment strategy is primarily focused on generating income to support product liabilities, and balances principal protection and risk. Total net investment income includes net investment income from our managed investment portfolio as well as accreted investment income from the deposit asset on reinsurance related to the company's reinsurance of policy liabilities related to legacy individual annuities written in 2002 or earlier.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net investment income from our managed investment portfolio increased 7.0% to $79.9 million. The increase reflected stronger income from the fixed income portfolios, partially offset by weaker returns in the commercial mortgage and limited partnership portfolios, primarily related to real estate. Investment yield on the portfolio excluding limited partnership interests was 4.5%, with new money yields continuing to exceed portfolio yields in the core fixed maturity securities portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, pretax net investment gains increased $6.1 million. The net investment gains in the current period are primarily due to changes in fair values of equity securities compared with net investment losses in the prior period due to dispositions of securities.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			45			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

Pretax net unrealized investment losses on fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2024 were up $25.1 million, or 6.0%, compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase of 32 basis points in US Treasury rates.

(1)Ratings are assigned by an NRSRO when available, If no rating is available from an NRSRO, then an internally developed rating is used. Ratings for publicly traded securities are determined when the securities are acquired and are updated monthly to reflect any changes in ratings.

(2)At March 31, 2024, the AA rated fair value amount included $391.2 million of U.S. Government and federally sponsored agency securities and $662.660 million of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities issued by U.S. Government and federally sponsored agencies.

(3)This category primarily represents private placement and municipal securities not rated by a NRSRO.

As of March 31, 2024, the fixed maturity securities portfolio had $499.4 million of pretax gross unrealized investment losses on $3,737.0 million of fair value related to 2,511 positions. Of the investment positions with gross unrealized losses, there were 433 trading below 80.0% of the carrying value as of March 31, 2024. The Company views the decrease in fair value of all of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2024 as due to factors other than a credit loss. Future changes in circumstances related to these and other securities could require subsequent recognition of impairment. See Part II - Item 8, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Unrealized investment losses rose due to an increase in interest rates. As of March 31, 2024, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increased 32 basis points since December 31, 2023, rising from 3.88% as of December 31, 2023 to 4.20% as of March 31, 2024, the impacts of which were partially offset by tighter credit spreads during the same time period, with investment grade and high yield tighter by 11 and 22 basis points, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, investment grade and high yield total returns were down -0.11% and up 1.47%, respectively, since December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and access to capital were not materially impacted by inflation or changes in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For further discussion regarding the potential future impacts of inflation and changes in interest rates, see Part I – Item 1A - Risk Factors and Part II – Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Effects of Inflation and Changes in Interest Rates presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 - Investment Results in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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, life, retirement, supplemental and group 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. Fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflect seasonality in timing of premium and investment income collections and claims and benefits payments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities decreased $11.9 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $(59.5) million and $(95.3) million, respectively.

Investing cash inflows consist primarily of proceeds from the sales and maturities of investments. Investing cash outflows consist primarily of payments for purchases of investments. Our investment strategy is to appropriately match the cash flows and durations of our assets with the cash flows and durations of our liabilities to meet the funding requirements of our business and, generally, the expected principal and interest payments produced by our fixed maturity securities portfolio adequately fund the estimated runoff of our insurance reserves. When market opportunities arise, we may sell selected securities and reinvest the proceeds to improve the yield and credit quality of our portfolio. We may at times also sell selected securities and reinvest the proceeds to improve the duration matching of our assets and liabilities and/or rebalance our portfolio. As a result, sales before maturity may vary from period to period. The sale and purchase of short-term investments is influenced by


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			48			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

proceeds received from FHLB funding advances, issuance of debt, our reverse repurchase agreement program, and by the amount of cash which is at times held in short-term investments to facilitate the availability of cash to fund the purchase of appropriate long-term investments, repay maturing debt, and/or to respond to catastrophes.

Financing Activities

Financing activities include primarily payment of dividends, receipt and withdrawal of funds by annuity contractholders, changes in the deposit asset on reinsurance, repurchases of our common stock, fluctuations in book overdraft balances, and borrowings, repayments and repurchases related to debt facilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities increased $17.8 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due a $25.3 million increase in cash outflows from the deposit asset on reinsurance and a $52.0 million net reduction in net cash inflows (advances less repayments) from FHLB funding agreements, partially offset by a $50.0 million increase in net cash inflow from reverse repurchase agreements.

The following table shows activity from FHLB funding agreements for the periods indicated.

We actively manage our financial position and liquidity levels in light of changing market, economic and business conditions. Liquidity is managed at both the entity and enterprise level across HMEC and is assessed on both base and stressed level liquidity needs. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet these needs. Additionally, we have existing intercompany agreements in place that facilitate liquidity management across HMEC to enhance flexibility.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			50			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

As of March 31, 2024, we held $1.1 billion of cash, U.S. government and agency fixed maturity securities and public equity securities (excluding non-redeemable preferred stocks and foreign equity securities) which, under normal market conditions, could be rapidly liquidated.

Certain remote events and circumstances could constrain our liquidity. Those events and circumstances include, for example, a catastrophe resulting in extraordinary losses, a downgrade of our Senior Notes rating to non-investment grade status or a downgrade in our insurance subsidiaries' financial strength ratings. The rating agencies also consider the interdependence of our individually rated entities; therefore, a rating change in one entity could potentially affect the ratings of other related entities.

Capital Resources

We have determined the amount of capital that 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 levels. 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, including a revolving line of credit, reverse repurchase agreements program, as well as issuances of various securities.

The insurance subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory restrictions that 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 2024 from all of our insurance subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval is $112.3 million, excluding the impact and timing of prior dividends, of which $27.0 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024. 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 programs. Additional information is contained 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, 2023.

(1) We designate debt obligations as "long-term" based on maturity date at issuance.

On September 15, 2023, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes (2023 Senior Notes), which will mature on September 15, 2028, issued at a discount resulting in an effective yield of 7.29%. Interest on the 2023 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 7.25%. The 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at any time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted, on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury yield (as defined in the indenture) plus 45 basis points, plus, in either of the above cases, accrued interest to the date of redemption. The 2023 Senior Notes are traded in the open market (HMN 7.25).

The net proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Senior Notes were used to fully repay the $249.0 million balance on the Revolving Credit Facility with remaining net proceeds from the sale to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2024, we had $325.0 million available on the Revolving Credit Facility, with an interest rate based on SOFR plus 115 basis points plus the applicable benchmark adjustment spread. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on July 12, 2026. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a variable commitment fee, which was 0.15% on an annual basis as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, we had outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes (2015 Senior Notes), which will mature on December 1, 2025, issued at a discount resulting in an effective yield of 4.53%. Interest on the 2015 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 4.50%. Detailed information regarding the redemption terms of the 2015 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, 2023. The 2015 Senior Notes are traded in the open market (HMN 4.50).

As of March 31, 2024, we had no 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 borrowing and funding agreements which is below our maximum FHLB borrowing capacity.

We had an obligation for securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements of $50.0 million at March 31, 2024 compared to no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at December 31, 2023.

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 8, 2024. 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 8, 2024. Unless withdrawn by us earlier, this registration statement will remain effective through March 8, 2027. 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.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			52			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

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.

Financial Ratings

Our principal insurance subsidiaries are rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (A.M. Best), Fitch, Moody's, and S&P. 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 & Casualty and Life insurance subsidiaries. Only A.M. Best currently rates our Supplemental & Group Benefits subsidiaries, each of which is rated at the same level as our Property & Casualty and Life & Retirement subsidiaries. Assigned ratings and respective affirmation/review dates as of April 30, 2024 were as follows:

Reinsurance Programs

There have been no material changes in our reinsurance programs for our Property & Casualty, Life & Retirement and Supplemental & Group Benefits segments from that disclosed in Part I - Item 1, Reporting Segments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding net investment losses.

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding interest credited to policyholders.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			53			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

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, 2023.

ITEM 4. I 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 March 31, 2024. 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

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.


Horace Mann Educators Corporation			54			First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. I Legal Proceedings

For a description of noteworthy litigation, see Part I - Item 1, Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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, 2023.

ITEM 2. I Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On May 25, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing repurchases of up to $50 million our common shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions, from time to time, depending on market conditions (Program). The Program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no shares were repurchased under the Program. As of March 31, 2024, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Program was $34.9 million.

ITEM 5. I Other Information

Securities Trading Plans of Executive Officers and Directors

Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables prearranged transactions in Company securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions at a future date while possibly in possession of material nonpublic information. Our Insider Trading Policy permits our executive officers and directors to enter into trading plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Marita Zuraitis adopted a new 10b5-1 plan. The Plan was adopted on March 14, 2024. The Plan expires on the earlier of March 31, 2025, or upon execution of all trades or expiration of all orders relating to such trades. The Plan allows for the sale of up to 32,000 shares and the exercise of up to 28,051 vested options.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no other director or officer of the Company who is required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
