Exhibit 99.1

Glossary of Selected Terms

The following measures are used by the Company’s management to evaluate performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated basis. A number of these measures are components of net income but, in some cases, may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and in some cases, require inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in a GAAP financial measure. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of these measures is meaningful to provide investors with an understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company’s periodic results of operations.

Agent - A licensed representative of an insurer in marketing insurance products.

 

   

Career agents - Agents under contract with the Company to market only the Company’s products and limited additional third-party vendor products authorized by the Company.

 

   

Experienced agents - Career Agents with more than two years of experience with the Company. Their compensation is comprised of commissions and incentives.

 

   

Financed agents - Career Agents in their first two years of employment with the Company. Their compensation is comprised of a base salary (subsidy) and commissions, with the base salary (subsidy) component declining as the agent gains more experience. Financed Agents are also eligible for incentives.

 

   

Independent agents - Agents who are under contract with the Company to market the Company’s annuity products but who are not restricted to writing only the Company’s products and products authorized by the Company.

Catastrophe costs – The sum of catastrophe losses and property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance reinstatement premiums.

Catastrophe losses – In categorizing property and casualty claims as being from a catastrophe, the Company utilizes the designations of ISO and reports loss and loss adjustment expense amounts net of reinsurance recoverables. A catastrophe is a severe loss resulting from natural and man-made events within a particular territory, including risks such as fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and other similar events, that causes $25 million or more in insured property and casualty losses for the industry and affects a significant number of property and casualty insurers and policyholders. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics. Catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount in advance, and therefore their effects are not included in earnings or claim and claim adjustment expense reserves prior to occurrence. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful for investors to understand the variability in periodic earnings.

 

1


Net Reserves - Property and casualty unpaid claim and claim expense reserves net of anticipated reinsurance recoverables and after reduction of checks issued and outstanding.

Prior Years’ Reserve Development - A measure which the Company reports for its property and casualty segment which identifies the increase or decrease in net incurred claim and claim adjustment expense reserves at successive valuation dates for claims which occurred in previous calendar years. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of prior years’ loss reserve development is useful to investors as it allows them to assess the impact on current period earnings of incurred claims experience from the current calendar year and previous calendar years.

Property and casualty operating statistics - Operating measures utilized by the Company and the insurance industry regarding the relative profitability of property and casualty underwriting results.

 

   

Loss Ratio or Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Ratio - The ratio of (1) the sum of net incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to (2) net earned premiums.

 

   

Expense Ratio - The ratio of (1) the sum of operating expenses and the amortization of policy acquisition costs to (2) net earned premiums.

 

   

Combined Ratio - The sum of the Loss Ratio and the Expense Ratio. A Combined Ratio less than 100% generally indicates profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income.

Return on equity - The ratio of (1) trailing 12-month net income to (2) the average of ending shareholders’ equity for the current quarter end and the preceding four quarter ends.

Sales or Annualized New Sales - Sales represent the amount of new business sold during the period and exclude renewal of policies sold in previous periods. Sales are measured by the Company as premiums and deposits to be collected over the 12 months following the sale of a new policy, and this time period may extend into the following calendar year. Sales should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP, including “sales” as it relates to non-insurance companies, and the Company’s definition of sales might differ from that used by other companies. The Company utilizes sales information as a performance measure that indicates the productivity of Career Agents and Independent Agents. Sales are also a leading indicator of future revenue trends.

HORACE MANN REPORTS RESULTS

FOR SECOND QUARTER

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., August 1, 2007 — Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today reported net income of $23.1 million (52 cents per share) and $46.4 million ($1.04 per share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to net income of $27.5 million (61 cents per share) and $50.7 million ($1.11 per share) for the same periods in 2006. Included in net income was a net realized loss on securities of $0.9 million ($0.6 million after tax, or 1 cent per share) for the second quarter of 2007 and net realized gains of $2.6 million ($1.7 million after tax, or 4 cents per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In 2006, net realized investment gains were $1.7 million ($1.1 million after tax, or 2 cents per share) and $4.5 million ($2.9 million after tax, or 6 cents per share) for the respective three and six month periods. All per-share amounts are stated on a diluted basis.

“Horace Mann is off to a strong start in 2007. The second quarter represented another solid earnings period for the company, exceeding our expectations in spite of being down somewhat from an exceptionally good second quarter in 2006,” said Louis G. Lower II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In our property and casualty segment, the current quarter and six months’ combined ratios excluding catastrophes and prior years’ reserve development of approximately 90 percent exceeded prior year but were generally consistent with our expectations. Catastrophe losses in the quarter were within our expected range and compared favorably to a very active prior year period. Favorable prior years’ reserve development continued in the second quarter, although below last year’s level. Annuity segment earnings exceeded our expectations in the quarter and were well ahead of prior year, driven by increased investment spreads, contract charges and market performance.”

“Our growth initiatives demonstrated continued progress as well,” continued Lower. “While total new auto unit sales were down in the second quarter compared to prior year, virtually all of the decrease was a by-product of our property catastrophe risk mitigation efforts in Florida. Through six months, total new auto sales units increased 7 percent, including a 9 percent growth in units sold to new auto policyholders. This sales growth, along with continued improvements in retention, resulted in another sequential increase in total auto policies in force, driven primarily by growth in educator policies which have increased 5 percent over the past 12 months.”

Segment Earnings

Net income for the property and casualty segment of $17.9 million for the quarter decreased $4.7 million compared to the same period in 2006 with year-to-date income down $4.1 million. The current year property and casualty combined ratios were 89.1 percent and 89.3 percent for the second quarter and six months, respectively, compared to 83.8 percent and 86.8 percent in the prior year periods. Pretax catastrophe costs in the current quarter were $4.9 million compared to $8.8 million incurred in the second quarter of 2006, which included $1.4 million due to unfavorable development of prior years’ catastrophe reserves. Favorable prior years’ reserve development totaling $5.6 million was recorded in the current quarter, all of which was related to non-catastrophe claims. Favorable non-catastrophe reserve development of $9.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2006.

Annuity segment net income of $5.1 million for the quarter increased $2.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2006, producing a comparable year-to-date increase. In addition to double-digit increases in the interest margin and contract charges earned, there was a positive effect from valuations of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force in the current period. Life segment net income of $3.6 million for this year’s second quarter and $7.2 million for the six months were each comparable to a year earlier, as growth in investment income offset higher mortality costs.

Segment Revenues

The company’s total premiums written and contract deposits increased approximately 2 percent for both the quarter and six months compared to the prior year. The additional costs associated with the company’s property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance program represented decreases to current period premiums of $0.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months, respectively. Property and casualty second quarter premiums written reflected a slight increase as growth in average property premium per policy more than offset a decrease in average auto premium per policy and the higher reinsurance premium.

Annuity new contract deposits increased 6 percent compared to both the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 due to growth in scheduled annuity deposit receipts. For the six months, deposits to fixed accounts increased 7 percent, and variable annuity deposits increased 4 percent. Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits increased 1 percent compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 and decreased 1 percent compared to the first half of 2006.

Sales and Distribution

Total new auto sales units increased 7 percent compared to the first half of 2006. Annuity new business decreased 11 percent for the six months compared to a year earlier. In 2006, annuity sales benefitted from increased opportunities for rollover deposits in six states that had initiated programs allowing educators to privatize a portion of their retirement funds. The current period also reflected a decline in fixed indexed annuity partner product sales.

“While the decline in current year annuity sales is disappointing, we are pleased with the growth in total annuity revenues and accumulated account values as well as the growth in our auto line. Positive results from initiatives such as the property and casualty Educator Segmentation (Pricing) Model and our Product Management Organization are driving improvements in average auto productivity per agent while also supporting Horace Mann’s transition to our new Agency Business Model,” said Lower.

Horace Mann’s career agency force totaled 821 agents at June 30, 2007, a 2 percent decline compared to 12 months earlier. “We expect modest growth in our agency force over the remainder of 2007 with a further increase in total points of distribution coming from the growing number of licensed product specialists supporting agents who adopt the new Agency Business Model,” Lower noted.

Horace Mann — the largest national multiline insurance company focusing on educators’ financial needs — provides auto and homeowners insurance, retirement annuities, life insurance and other financial solutions.
