Revenues

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2025 increased $95.7 million to $1,225.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a $148.2 million increase in Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance earned premiums resulting from higher average earned premium per exposure from rate increases and higher business volumes, which was partially offset by a $50.8 million reduction in earned premium from our Non-Core Operations due to lower volumes resulting from the exit and run-off of the Preferred Insurance business.

Unless otherwise noted, (i) the segment results discussed below are presented on an after-tax basis, (ii) prior-year development includes both catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and LAE, (iii) catastrophe losses and LAE exclude the impact of prior-year development, (iv) loss ratio includes loss and LAE, and (v) all comparisons are made to the prior year quarter unless otherwise stated.

The Specialty Property and Casualty Insurance segment reported adjusted net operating income of $79.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted net operating income of $102.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was due primarily to a higher Underlying Combined Ratio¹and higher adverse prior year development, partially offset by growth from rate increases and business volumes. The segment's Underlying Combined Ratio¹ was 93.6 percent compared to 89.6 percent in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher claim severity, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases.

The Life Insurance segment reported adjusted net operating income of $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted net operating loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by an increase in net investment income. Results for the second quarter of 2024 included an $11.9 million after-tax loss from an investment valuation adjustment on one real estate investment from our alternative investment portfolio.

Capital

Total Kemper Corporation Shareholders' Equity as of June 30, 2025 was $2,953.4 million, an increase of $165.0 million, or 6 percent, since year-end 2024 primarily driven by net income for the year. Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries ended the quarter with cash and investments of $223.2 million, and $600.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit agreement.

On May 7, 2025, Kemper announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share, or $20.8 million. The dividend was paid on June 3, 2025, to its shareholders of record as of May 19, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Net Income attributable to Kemper Corporation the after-tax impact of:

(i) Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities;

(ii) Net Realized Investment (Losses) Gains;

(iii) Impairment Losses;

(iv) Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs;

(v) Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges;

(vi) Goodwill Impairment Charges;

(vii) Non-Core Operations; and

(viii) Significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations

Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net Income attributable to Kemper Corporation. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that Kemper excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

Kemper believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income¹provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment (Losses) Gains and Impairment Losses related to investments included in Kemper's results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions that impact the values of Kemper's investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by the timing of acquisitions and business decisions which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges relate to (i) loss from early extinguishment of debt, which is driven by Kemper's financing and refinancing decisions and capital needs, as well as external economic developments such as debt market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process; (ii) settlement of pension plan obligations which are business decisions made by Kemper, the timing of which is unrelated to the underwriting process; and (iii) other charges that are non-standard, not part of the ordinary course of business, and unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Goodwill Impairment Charges are excluded because they are infrequent and non-recurring charges. Non-Core Operations includes the results of our Preferred Insurance business which we expect to fully exit. These results are excluded because they are irrelevant to our ongoing operations and do not qualify for Discontinued Operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of Kemper's business or economic trends. The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the profitability of Kemper's businesses.

Return on Adjusted Shareholders' Equity¹is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing the period's annualized net income attributable to Kemper Corporation by the average shareholders' equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill. Return on Shareholders' Equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use this non-GAAP measure to identify and analyze the change in performance attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. The "Return on Adjusted Shareholders' Equity" metric was referred to as "Return on Tangible Shareholders' Equity" in prior periods.

A reconciliation of Return on Shareholders' Equity to Return on Adjusted Shareholders' Equity¹is presented below:

Less: Average Goodwill		(1,250.7	)		(1,250.7	)		(1,250.7	)		(1,250.7	)
Average Adjusted Shareholders' Equity²	$	1,955.4		$	1,716.9		$	1,921.6		$	1,687.2

Return on Shareholders' Equity:
Return on Shareholders' Equity		9.9	%		11.5	%		11.9	%		11.3	%
Return on Adjusted Shareholders' Equity¹		14.9	%		17.6	%		17.9	%		17.4	%

²Average shareholders' equity and average adjusted shareholders' equity is the simple average of the beginning and ending balances for the period. Average shareholders' equity and average adjusted shareholders' equity on a year-to-date basis is (a) the sum of the balance at the beginning of the year and the ending balance for each quarter within that year divided by (b) the number of quarters in the period presented plus one.

Underlying Combined Ratio¹is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Insurance Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the Combined Ratio, which is computed by adding Total Incurred Losses and LAE Ratio, including the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years, with the Insurance Expense Ratio.

Kemper believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in Kemper's Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause Kemper's loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the Combined Ratio. Prior-year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing on the performance of Kemper's insurance products in the current period. Kemper believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing Kemper's underwriting performance.

Adjusted Book Value Per Share¹is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders' equity after excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Kemper uses the trends in book value per share excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth excluding goodwill attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. The "Adjusted Book Value Per Share" metric was referred to as "Tangible Book Value Per Share" in prior periods.
