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 or the balance sheet 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 or Consolidated Balance Sheets, 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 and financial condition.

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.

• Licensed producers - Staff of Career Agents who are licensed to write insurance business.

• 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.

Book value per share excluding the fair value adjustment for investments - The result of dividing total shareholders’ equity excluding after tax net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities and equity securities, including the related effect on certain deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force, by ending shares outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

1

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 the Property Claims Service, a subsidiary of Insurance Services Office, Inc., and additionally beginning in 2007, includes losses from all such events that meet the definition of covered loss in the Company’s primary catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contract, 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.

Net income before realized investment gains and losses - Net income adjusted to exclude after tax realized investment gains and losses. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. A projection of net income, including after tax realized investment gains and losses, is not accessible on a forward-looking basis because management believes that it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of realized investment gains and losses, which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.

Net Reserves - Property and casualty unpaid claim and claim expense reserves net of anticipated reinsurance recoverables.

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.

2

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.

• Combined Ratio Excluding Catastrophes and Prior Years’ Reserve Development - The sum of the Loss Ratio and the Expense Ratio adjusted to remove the effect of catastrophe costs and prior years’ reserve development. The Combined Ratio is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

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 FOURTH QUARTER

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., February 6, 2008 — Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today reported net income of $18.0 million (41 cents per share) and $82.8 million ($1.86 per share) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively, compared to net income of $28.6 million (64 cents per share) and $98.7 million ($2.19 per share) for the same periods in 2006. Included in net income were net realized losses on securities of $5.5 million ($3.6 million after tax, or 8 cents per share) and $3.4 million ($2.2 million after tax, or 5 cents per share) for the fourth quarter and full year 2007, respectively. In 2006, net realized investment gains were $5.6 million ($3.7 million after tax, or 8 cents per share) and $10.9 million ($7.1 million after tax, or 16 cents per share) for the respective three and twelve month periods. All per-share amounts are stated on a diluted basis.

“After a record level of earnings in 2006, Horace Mann closed out the year with another strong quarter, making 2007 the second highest earnings period in the company’s history in terms of net income before realized investment gains and losses,” said Louis G. Lower II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In our property and casualty segment, the current quarter and full year combined ratios excluding catastrophes and prior years’ reserve development of approximately 91 percent exceeded prior year by about 4 percentage points and were slightly above our expectations, primarily due to increases in property and auto claims frequencies. Catastrophe losses in the quarter were greater than prior year and somewhat higher than expected as a result of losses related to the California wildfires. Favorable prior years’ reserve development continued in the fourth quarter at a level that exceeded prior year. Annuity segment earnings were well ahead of prior year, driven by increased investment spreads and contract charges. Life segment earnings also increased, reflecting growth in investment income and favorable mortality experience. All business segments benefited from our ongoing focus on expense management, which helped mitigate the impact of increased strategic investments in our distribution and technology initiatives.”

“Our underlying 2007 results support a preliminary estimate of full year 2008 net income before realized investment gains and losses of between $1.70 and $1.90 per share,” said Lower. “This projection anticipates (1) a modest increase in property and casualty combined ratios, pressured by recent, industry-wide claims frequency trends, (2) a moderate decline in annuity and life profit margins, following a year of strong, double-digit earnings growth in 2007 and in anticipation of continued volatility in the financial markets, (3) a reduced level of cost savings in 2008 from postretirement benefit plan changes made in 2006, and (4) the completion of our current $50 million share repurchase authorization in the first quarter of 2008.”

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the company repurchased 1,111,600 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $20.7 million, or an average cost of $18.66 per share. Total shares outstanding on December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 42,240,484 and 43,091,255, respectively.

Segment Earnings

Net income for the property and casualty segment of $16.1 million for the quarter decreased $4.9 million compared to the same period in 2006, with full year income down $13.1 million. The 2007 property and casualty combined ratio was 91.9 percent for both the fourth quarter and twelve months, compared to 85.9 percent and 87.6 percent in the respective prior year periods. Pretax catastrophe costs in the current quarter were $5.9 million compared to $0.6 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year, pretax catastrophe costs were $23.6 million and $19.8 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Favorable prior years’ reserve development totaling $5.2 million was recorded in the current quarter, compared to $2.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Full year 2007 favorable prior years’ reserve development of $20.0 million was slightly greater than the favorable development recorded in 2006.

Annuity segment net income of $3.9 million for the quarter increased $0.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, contributing to a full year increase of $4.4 million. The improvements were largely driven by double-digit growth in the interest margin and notable growth in contract charges earned. Compared to the prior year, valuations of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force, coupled with the change in the guaranteed minimum death benefit reserve, had a smaller adverse impact in the current periods. Life segment net income of $4.6 million for the current fourth quarter and $17.3 million for the full year increased $1.1 million and $2.8 million compared to the respective periods a year earlier, reflecting growth in investment income and lower mortality costs.

Segment Revenues

The company’s total premiums written and contract deposits declined 3 percent in the quarter and increased 1 percent for the full year compared to the same periods in 2006, with both comparisons notably impacted by decreases in annuity rollover deposit receipts in 2007. Property and casualty premiums written were comparable to prior year in the quarter and down less than 1 percent for the year, reflecting a decrease in average auto premium per policy and higher catastrophe reinsurance premiums partially offset by growth in average property premium per policy and a slight increase in total policies in force. The full year comparison also reflects the $8.6 million reduction in premiums due to the 2007 expiration of the National Education Association educator excess professional liability insurance policy.

Annuity new contract deposits decreased 7 percent compared to the three months ended December 31, 2006 and increased 4 percent for the full year. Growth in scheduled, flexible-premium annuity deposit receipts of 10 percent for the quarter and 15 percent for the year were offset by declines in rollover deposits. For the full year, variable annuity deposits increased 8 percent while deposits to fixed accounts were comparable to 2006. Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits decreased 2 percent and 1 percent compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Sales and Distribution

Total new auto sales units were 6 percent lower in the fourth quarter than the prior year and were equal to 2006 for the full year, while the number of career agents declined 7 percent to 790 agents at year end compared to 12 months earlier. “We continue to be very positive about the progress we are making in transitioning to our new Agency Business Model. While early in the game, we’ve seen a meaningful productivity lift from the agents who have completed the agency business school curriculum as they migrate to outside offices, install repeatable sales processes, and select and train licensed support staff,” said Lower. “While average agent auto unit productivity and our total points of distribution have increased, we are reducing non-productive agents who are not likely to make the transition and have continued to reduce our exposure to catastrophes in Florida, both of which have had an adverse impact on auto production and agent count,” Lower noted.

Annuity new business decreased 17 percent and 10 percent for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007, compared to the same periods a year earlier. In 2006, annuity sales benefited from increased opportunities for rollover deposits in six states that had initiated programs allowing educators to privatize a portion of their state retirement funds. Annuity sales in 2007 also reflected a decline in fixed indexed annuity partner product sales. “While IRS transition regulations for the 403(b) annuity marketplace reduced new

rollover deposits, we are pleased with sales of new scheduled deposit business which increased 9 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 and 5 percent compared to the second half of 2006, enabling accumulated account values to increase 4 percent for the full year,” said Lower.

Realized Investment Gains and Losses

In 2007, pretax realized investment losses were $5.5 million and $3.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. In the current quarter, impairment charges totaled $5.9 million pretax, $3.8 million of which was attributable to the company’s one sub-prime residential mortgage-backed security, 2006 vintage, having a fair value of $1.1 million at December 31, 2007. Also at December 31, 2007, the company’s exposure to “Alt-A” mortgage-backed securities was a total fair value of approximately $8.4 million, with an unrealized loss of approximately $0.1 million, of which $4.6 million was acquired in 2003, $0.8 million was acquired in 2004 and $3.0 million was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2007. “While we realized a modest level of investment losses in the fourth quarter and full year, our conservative investment portfolio continues to serve us well in the current financial market environment,” said Lower.
