"Horace Mann’s second-quarter and six-month core earnings remained well ahead of last year as we continue to see progress on our strategy to drive long-term profitable growth and improve return on equity,” noted Horace Mann President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “For example, this quarter we saw further improvement in the underlying auto loss ratio, growth in Retirement assets under management and a double-digit increase in Life sales. At the same time, we continue to make strategic investments across all segments to ensure we have the products, distribution and infrastructure in place to be the company of choice to meet our educators’ financial needs both today and in the future.

“In light of the significant first-half weather-related losses in both property and auto, we are revising our estimate of full-year 2018 core earnings to between $1.90 and $2.10 per diluted share.” Zuraitis said.

For the second quarter of 2018, Property and Casualty written premiums* increased 3.0%, driven primarily by rate actions, which resulted in an increase in the average premium per policy for both auto and property. Policy retention continues to be stable with auto and property policy retention rates for the current quarter at 82.6% and 88.0%, respectively.
The combined ratio for the second quarter improved 3.8 percentage points. Total pretax catastrophe losses were $26.8 million in the current quarter compared to $32.4 million in the prior year period.
The improvement in the reported combined ratio for the second quarter was primarily due to lower auto and property catastrophe losses versus last year, as well as a 1.1 point improvement in the underlying auto loss ratio*, reflecting the impact of rate actions and continued profitability initiatives. The underlying property loss ratio* increased 1.1 points, in part due to elevated non-catastrophe weather-related losses.
For the six months, written premiums rose 3.6% and the combined ratio improved by 5.2 points.

For the second quarter of 2018, Retirement net income excluding DAC unlocking increased 18.3%. Higher net investment income, an increase in fee-based product income and the lower federal income tax rate offset higher operating expenses. Six-month net income excluding DAC unlocking rose 8.9%.

The annualized net interest spread on fixed annuity assets under management of $4.7 billion for the second quarter of 2018 was 181 basis points, primarily benefiting from an elevated level of prepayment activity.

Retirement assets under management increased 6.3% compared to a year ago, and total cash value persistency remained strong at 94.6% for variable annuities and 94.4% for fixed annuities.

Total Retirement sales deposits* declined 5.0% for the quarter and 4.8% for the six months as lower traditional annuity product sales were partially offset by a continued increase in asset flows related to fee-based mutual fund offerings.

Sales deposit activity related to the Retirement Advantage® mutual fund products, as well as other mutual fund offerings, reached $18.6 million in the current quarter as compared to $10.0 million in the prior year period. Annuity deposits were down 14.2% for the quarter and 15.0% for the six months due to lower sales of single premium annuity products.

Life sales* increased 48.6% for the second quarter and 16.7% year-to-date, reflecting an increased emphasis on meeting the needs of the under-insured educator market through enhancements in agent support and training.

Life net income increased 5.4% in the second quarter and 2.1% in the first six months, benefiting from a lower federal income tax rate. Second-quarter mortality costs compared favorably with actuarial assumptions. Life persistency of 95.1% was comparable to 12 months earlier.

While annuity asset balances in the Retirement segment continue to grow, overall investment results continue to be impacted by the low interest rate environment of recent years. Second-quarter total net investment income increased 5.5% primarily due to a higher level of prepayment activity and favorable returns on alternative investments.
 
Net unrealized investment gains were down compared to a year ago, largely because of rising interest rates and wider credit spreads.
 
Capital Management Strategy Remains Unchanged
  
As of June 30, 2018, $27.8 million remained authorized for future share repurchases under the share repurchase program.
