Exhibit 99.2
UNITED FIRE GROUP, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of United Fire Group, Inc. (the "Company") are presented to reflect the effect of United Fire & Casualty Company's ("United Fire"), a subsidiary of the Company, sale of its subsidiary, United Life Insurance Company ("United Life") on March 30, 2018 (the "Disposition") as described in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2017. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2018.
The unaudited pro forma Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 are based on the previously reported statements of the Company as of December 31, 2017 after including the impact of the Disposition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2017 are based on the historical financial statements of the Company after including the impact of the Disposition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and do not represent the actual results of operations or the financial position of the Company, nor is it indicative of the Company’s future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflect estimates and assumptions that the Company’s management believes to be reasonable.
The estimated after-tax gain calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as if the Disposition had occurred on December 31, 2017 is $4.5 million. This estimated after-tax gain is subject to finalization of accounts as of March 30, 2018 and any post-closing adjustments.
The Company will provide services to United Life through a transition services agreement ("TSA"). The TSA will be put in place to ensure a seamless transfer of the business. The TSA includes, among other services, accounting management, human resources, legal and information technology services, from the closing date for up to 24 months thereafter and therefore the Company is unable to estimate amounts under the TSA and has not included these amounts in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
