HORACE MANN REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THIRD QUARTER

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., October 28, 2010 – – Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today reported net income of $20.1 million (49 cents per share) and $65.7 million ($1.61 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $19.3 million (48 cents per share) and $51.3 million ($1.27 per share) for the same periods in 2009. Included in net income were net realized gains on securities of $12.1 million ($7.7 million after tax, or 19 cents per share) and $25.3 million ($16.3 million after tax, or 40 cents per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. In the same periods in 2009, net income included net realized investment gains of $11.5 million ($7.4 million after tax, or 19 cents per share) and $21.7 million ($14.0 million after tax, or 35 cents per share), respectively. All per-share amounts are stated on a diluted basis.

“The continued improvement in Horace Mann’s net unrealized investment gain position, coupled with strong underlying operating results in the third quarter in our lead auto and annuity lines, resulted in a September 30, 2010 reported book value per share of $24.69, an increase of 33 percent over the last twelve months,” said Peter H. Heckman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Net income before realized investment gains and losses was 30 cents per share for the third quarter, a 1 cent increase compared to a year ago, as adverse results in the property line were more than offset by improved earnings in auto and financial services,” continued Heckman. “Due to a significant level of catastrophe and non-catastrophe weather-related losses, as well as an increase in Florida sinkhole claims, our property and casualty earnings decreased compared to the third quarter of the prior year. The accident year combined ratio excluding catastrophes was 99.5 percent in the current quarter, which was about 2 percentage points higher than the same period last year. Partially offsetting the unfavorable property results, our auto current accident year combined ratio improved by almost 3 percentage points compared to prior year. And, further reflecting the benefits of our diverse sources of earnings, combined annuity and life segment net income increased significantly in the third quarter compared to prior year, including a notable improvement in the interest margin and a decrease in mortality costs.”

“We are lowering our estimate of full-year 2010 net income before realized investment gains and losses to between $1.55 and $1.65 per share, primarily reflecting the higher level of catastrophe and sinkhole losses in our property line, as well as the two previously disclosed one-time charges related to the write-off of property system

development costs in the current quarter and the acceleration of CEO retirement expenses in the fourth quarter,” Heckman said. “This projection assumes a normal level of property and casualty weather losses and a continuing high level of sinkhole losses, along with moderate appreciation in the financial markets in the fourth quarter.”

Segment Earnings

The property and casualty segment recorded net income of $1.5 million for the quarter, a decrease of $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2009. Pretax catastrophe costs in the current quarter of $17.5 million increased $5.2 million compared to the $12.3 million incurred in the third quarter of 2009 and included $7.5 million of unfavorable development for catastrophes occurring in the first six months of 2010, primarily second quarter storms in the Midwest. The third quarter 2010 property and casualty combined ratio was 106.8 percent, including 12.6 percentage points due to catastrophe costs, compared to 104.1 percent, including 8.9 percentage points due to catastrophe costs, in the prior year period. An increase in non-catastrophe weather-related losses in the current quarter represented approximately 8 percentage points of the increase in the property combined ratio compared to the third quarter of 2009. Excluding claim settlement expenses, Florida sinkhole losses incurred in the current quarter and for the nine months of $6.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively, were somewhat higher than the company’s experience in the last two quarters of 2009; and, they exceeded the $5.0 million and $7.8 million incurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. “While high catastrophe and sinkhole losses continue to be a challenge to property and casualty earnings, our Florida risk mitigation plan, primarily focused on non-renewals, remains ahead of schedule,” said Heckman. Favorable prior years’ reserve development totaling $7.3 million was recorded in the third quarter, which represented 5.2 percentage points on the combined ratio, compared to $2.8 million, or 2.0 percentage points on the combined ratio, recorded in the third quarter of 2009. As previously disclosed, the segment’s third quarter 2010 operating expenses included a charge of $2.2 million to write off software development costs related to an upgrade of its property insurance administrative system. This charge was approximately 4 cents per share after tax and represented 1.6 percentage points and 0.5 percentage points of the total property and casualty combined ratios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Annuity segment net income was $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, increasing $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2009. The current quarter included a reduction in amortization as a result of the evaluation of deferred policy acquisition costs of $1.9 million compared to a reduction of $2.5 million due to the evaluation in the prior year. The interest margin earned on fixed annuity assets increased 23 percent compared to the third quarter of 2009, with year-to-date net interest spreads of 1.98 percent for the current period improving 38 basis points compared to a year ago. Charges and fees earned in the quarter, primarily on variable annuity contracts, increased 17 percent compared to prior

year. Total annuity net fund flows continued to be positive in the current period, as they were throughout 2008 and 2009, with total accumulated account values increasing 9 percent compared to 12 months earlier. Total cash value persistency of 94 percent increased slightly compared to prior year.

Life segment net income of $5.6 million for the third quarter increased $1.1 million compared to the same period in 2009, due to growth in investment income and lower mortality costs in the current period. Life persistency remained strong at 95 percent.

Segment Revenues

Compared to 2009, the company’s total premiums written and contract deposits increased 6 percent and 3 percent for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, driven by the current quarter increase in annuity deposit receipts.

Total property and casualty premiums written were comparable to the third quarter of 2009 and increased 1 percent for the nine months, each including increases in average property and auto premiums per policy.

Annuity deposits received increased 18 percent compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, reflecting a 33 percent increase in single deposit and rollover receipts and scheduled, flexible premium annuity deposit receipts that were comparable to the prior year. For the nine months, total annuity deposit receipts increased 8 percent compared to a year earlier, also driven by single deposit and rollover receipts. Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits decreased 1 percent compared to both the three and nine months of the prior year.

Sales and Distribution

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, total new auto sales units decreased 8 percent and 5 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily reflecting decreases in true new auto sales of 10 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Driven by increases in single premium and rollover deposits, total annuity sales increased 32 percent in the third quarter and 2 percent for the nine months, which was on top of the 38 percent growth in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Total new life production decreased 24 percent and 9 percent compared to the prior year quarter and nine months, primarily due to decreases in sales of third-party vendor products.

At September 30, 2010, there was a combined total of 701 Exclusive Agencies and Employee Agents, compared to 716 at December 31, 2009 and 694 at September 30, 2009. “Our total number of agencies and agents increased during the quarter and was up compared to a year ago,” said Heckman. “We expect continued growth in the agency force in the fourth quarter to result in a favorable prior year comparison at year-end.” At September 30, 2010, there were 387 Horace Mann Exclusive

Agencies, an increase of 137 compared to December 31, 2009. The company’s Exclusive Agent opportunity was launched on January 1, 2009. Of the 387 Exclusive Agencies at quarter-end, 196 were formed by previous Employee Agents and 191 were formed by new appointments. In addition to the Exclusive Agencies, there were 314 Employee Agents at quarter-end.

Investment Gains and Losses

In the third quarter of 2010, pretax net realized investment gains were $12.1 million. The company realized $16.8 million of gross gains on securities during the quarter, partially offset by a $4.3 million credit-related impairment write-down on one security that the company no longer intended to hold until the value was fully recovered and $0.4 million of realized impairment losses on security disposals.

Horace Mann’s net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity and equity securities of $360.5 million at September 30, 2010 continued to reflect improvement compared to the net unrealized gains of $222.8 million, $36.1 million and $84.1 million at June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
