“As recently announced, we decided to cease direct marketing efforts and are moving forward with a full strategic analysis of Kemper Direct to maximize value for our shareholders,” commented Donald G. Southwell, Kemper's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although our overall property and casualty results improved over 2011, we had a difficult second quarter, experiencing catastrophe losses totaling $36 million after-tax and increased loss trends. Accordingly, we continue to file for rate increases and take underwriting actions to improve our P&C profitability.”
“Our Life and Health segment continued to deliver solid top and bottom line results. The diversity of Kemper's business model and the stability of the life group offset the impact of another significant catastrophe quarter. We are also pleased with the performance of Reserve National as it continues to reposition its product suite to address the National Healthcare reform changes,” added Southwell.
“On the capital front, we repurchased over $20 million of common stock in the quarter and just over $50 million in the year through July,” concluded Southwell.
1 Consolidated net operating income (loss) is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
Highlights
• | Kemper's flagship life insurance subsidiary, United Insurance Company of America, was recognized in July as one of the top 50 performing life insurance companies by the Ward Group for the second consecutive year. |
• | Reserve National reported stable quarterly accident and health earned premiums of $33.8 million, which included a 32 percent increase in earned premiums on its expanded supplemental product offerings, offsetting a 12 percent anticipated decrease in its hospitalization products. |
• | Earned premiums at Kemper Preferred increased approximately 2 percent to $218.0 million; and included a 7 percent year-over-year increase in its packaged auto and home policies in force. |
• | Kemper Specialty grew commercial automobile earned premiums about 6 percent to $10.5 million; which included a 14 percent year-over-year increase in commercial automobile policies in force. |
Capital
During the quarter, Kemper repurchased nearly 725,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $21.5 million and paid dividends of $14.3 million. Year to date through July, Kemper repurchased over 1.7 million shares of common stock at a cost of $51.5 million.
Kemper ended the quarter with a book value per share of $36.42, up from $35.69 at the end of the first quarter. Book value per share excluding unrealized gains on fixed maturities was $30.19 at the end of the second quarter, compared to $30.40 at the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the second quarter, Kemper Corporation held cash and investments of $163.2 million, and its $325 million revolving line of credit was undrawn.
Revenues
Total revenues were $608.9 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $647.7 million in 2011. Earned premiums were $529.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $548.1 million in 2011. Earned premiums decreased predominately from the planned reduction at Kemper Direct, which declined by $13.6 million.
Net investment income was $75.2 million in the second quarter of 2012, a $7.7 million decrease from 2011, driven by $9.8 million lower net investment income from equity method investments, partially offset by growth in average fixed income investments.

Kemper Preferred reported a net operating loss of $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to a net operating loss of $33.3 million in 2011. The current quarter included $29.1 million of catastrophe losses, $28.0 million lower than the prior year. Results also included a $3.7 million deterioration in underwriting results on an underlying basis and $2.4 million lower net investment income. The underlying combined ratio was 96.4 percent in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 93.7 percent in 2011. The personal auto underlying combined ratio increased, largely related to higher severity, partially offset by lower frequency. Homeowners underlying combined ratio increased primarily from higher non-catastrophe fire losses, partially offset by lower non-catastrophe weather related losses.
Kemper Specialty reported a net operating loss of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to net operating income of $5.3 million in 2011. The current quarter included a $4.0 million deterioration in underwriting results on an underlying basis, $1.8 million lower net investment income, and $0.5 million higher catastrophe losses. Additionally, Kemper Specialty reported $4.0 million of adverse prior year development on personal automobile insurance, partially offset by $3.1 million of favorable prior year development on commercial automobile insurance. The results for the second quarter of 2011 included $0.8 million of favorable prior year development on both personal automobile insurance and commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by $0.3 million of adverse prior year development on other insurance pools in run-off. Kemper Specialty’s underlying combined ratio was 105.0 percent in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 5.1 percentage points. The underlying loss ratio increased, driven by a higher physical damage loss frequency. The insurance expense ratio increased largely related to technology initiatives.
Kemper Direct reported a net operating loss of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to a net operating loss of $4.8 million in 2011. The current quarter results included $1.5 million of catastrophe losses and $1.4 million of favorable prior year development, compared to the second quarter of 2011, which included $2.5 million of catastrophe losses and $0.5 million of favorable prior year development. On an underlying basis, the combined ratio deteriorated slightly, from higher severity in auto liability coverages. Net investment income was lower by $1.3 million from lower net investment income from equity method investments.
Life and Health Insurance reported net operating income of $19.5 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $18.0 million in 2011. Results improved from $3.0 million lower catastrophe losses, which was partially offset by lower allocated net investment income.
Corporate and other net operating loss decreased $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2012, primarily related to $1.4 million higher unallocated investment income, offset by $0.5 million higher pension expense.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss)
Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure computed by excluding from income (loss) from continuing operations the after-tax impact of 1) net realized gains (losses) on sales of investments, 2) net impairment losses recognized in earnings related to investments and 3) other significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations. Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income (loss) from continuing operations.
Kemper believes that Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Net realized gains (losses) on sales of investments and net impairment losses recognized in earnings related to investments included in Kemper’s results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions that impact the values of the company’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of Kemper’s business or economic trends.

Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share
Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) by the weighted average unrestricted shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted share‐basic.

Book Value Per Share Excluding Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities
Book Value Per Share Excluding Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book Value Per Share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Kemper uses the trend in book value per share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers.

Underlying Combined Ratio
Underlying combined ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is computed by adding the current year non-catastrophe losses and LAE ratio with the incurred expense ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the combined ratio, which uses total incurred losses and LAE, including the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development. Kemper believes the underlying combined ratio is useful to investors and is used by management to reveal the trends in Kemper’s property and casualty insurance businesses that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the Combined Ratio. Prior-year reserve development is caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing on the performance of the company’s insurance products in the current period. Kemper believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing its underwriting performance. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of our business.
