Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, Risk Factors and the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based on forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” “plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” “may,” “could” and other terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, Kemper cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. Kemper bases these statements on current expectations and the current economic environment as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance; actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties that may be important in determining the Company’s actual future results and financial condition.

In addition to those factors discussed under Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of Part I of Kemper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”) as updated by Item 1A. of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should consider the following list of general factors that, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition.

Factors related to the legal and regulatory environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate

•

Evolving practices and interpretations by regulators and courts that increase operating costs and potential liabilities, particularly any that involve retroactive application of new requirements, including, but not limited to, state initiatives related to unclaimed property laws or claims handling practices with respect to life insurance policies and the proactive use of death verification databases;


•	Adverse outcomes in litigation or other legal or regulatory proceedings involving Kemper or its subsidiaries or affiliates;


•	Governmental actions, including, but not limited to, implementation of new federal and state laws and regulations, and court decisions interpreting existing laws and regulations or policy provisions;


•	Uncertainties related to regulatory approval of insurance rates, policy forms, insurance products, license applications, dividends from insurance subsidiaries, acquisitions of businesses and other matters within the purview of state insurance regulators;

Factors relating to insurance claims and related reserves in the Company’s insurance businesses


•	The incidence, frequency and severity of catastrophes occurring in any particular reporting period or geographic area, including natural disasters, pandemics and terrorist attacks or other man-made events;


•	The number and severity of insurance claims (including those associated with catastrophe losses);


•	Changes in facts and circumstances affecting assumptions used in determining loss and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) reserves, including, but not limited to, the number and severity of insurance claims, changes in claims handling procedures and closure patterns and development patterns;


•	The impact of inflation on insurance claims, including, but not limited to, the effects on personal injury claims of increasing medical costs and the effects on property claims attributed to scarcity of resources available to rebuild damaged structures, including labor and materials and the amount of salvage value recovered for damaged property;


•	Developments related to insurance policy claims and coverage issues, including, but not limited to, interpretations or decisions by courts or regulators that may govern or influence losses incurred in connection with hurricanes and other catastrophes;


•	Orders, interpretations or other actions by regulators that impact the reporting, adjustment and payment of claims;


•	Changes in the pricing or availability of reinsurance, or in the financial condition of reinsurers and amounts recoverable therefrom;

Factors related to the Company’s ability to compete


•	Changes in the ratings by rating agencies of Kemper and/or its insurance company subsidiaries with regard to credit, financial strength, claims paying ability and other areas on which the Company is rated;


•	The level of success and costs incurred in realizing or maintaining economies of scale, integrating acquired businesses and implementing significant business initiatives, including, but not limited to, those related to expense and claims savings, consolidations, reorganizations and technology;


•	Absolute and relative performance of the Company’s products and services, including, but not limited to, the level of success achieved in designing and introducing new insurance products;


•	The ability of the Company to maintain the availability of critical systems and manage technology initiatives cost-effectively to address insurance industry developments and regulatory requirements;


•	Heightened competition, including, with respect to pricing, consolidations of existing competitors or entry of new competitors and alternate distribution channels, introduction of new technologies, emergence of telematics, refinements of existing products and development of new products by current or future competitors;

•

Expected benefits and synergies from mergers, acquisitions and/or divestitures that may not be realized to the extent anticipated, within expected time frames or at all, due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the loss of key agents/brokers, customers or employees, increased costs, fees, expenses and related charges and delays caused by factors outside of the Company’s control;

Factors relating to the business environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate


•	Changes in general economic conditions, including, but not limited to, performance of financial markets, interest rates, inflation, unemployment rates and fluctuating values of particular investments held by the Company;


•	Absolute and relative performance of investments held by the Company;


•	Changes in insurance industry trends and significant industry developments;


•	Changes in consumer trends and significant consumer or product developments;


•	Changes in capital requirements, including the calculations thereof, used by regulators and rating agencies;


•	Regulatory, accounting or tax changes that may affect the cost of, or demand for, the Company’s products or services or after-tax returns from the Company’s investments;


•	The impact of required participation in windpools and joint underwriting associations, residual market assessments and assessments for insurance industry insolvencies;


•	Changes in distribution channels, methods or costs resulting from changes in laws or regulations, lawsuits or market forces;


•	Increased costs and risks related to cybersecurity and information technology, including, but not limited to, identity theft, data breaches and system disruptions affecting services and actions taken to minimize the risks thereof; and

Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Kemper’s filings with the SEC

Kemper cannot provide any assurances that the results contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable or that future events or developments will not cause such statements to be inaccurate. Kemper assumes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements publicly for any changes in events or developments or in the Company’s expectations or results subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Kemper advises the reader, however, to consult any further disclosures Kemper makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and include the accounts of Kemper Corporation and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) and are unaudited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnote disclosures, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The preparation of interim financial statements relies heavily on estimates. This factor and other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, as well as market conditions, call for caution in drawing specific conclusions from interim results. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the 2017 Annual Report.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

Guidance Adopted in 2018

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most significantly, ASU 2016-01 requires companies to measure equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily-determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (“Modified Cost”). ASU 2016-01 also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily-determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment of an equity investment without readily-determinable fair value exists, an entity is required to re-measure such investment at fair value.

The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method, except for the provisions regarding equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which were applied on a prospective basis, with no impact on the Company’s Total Shareholders’ Equity. The Company recognized a $17.7 million increase to Retained Earnings, and a corresponding reduction to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), as of January 1, 2018, which represents the accumulated net unrealized gains on Equity Securities at Fair Value immediately prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01. The Company has recorded equity investments without readily-determinable fair values under the caption Equity Securities at Modified Cost in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-01, the Company revised its accounting policy as of January 1, 2018 and no longer classifies equity investments as available-for-sale or trading securities. Equity securities with readily-determinable fair values, including equity securities which the Company previously classified as Fair Value Option Investments, are classified as Equity Securities at Fair Value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018 with changes in fair value recorded as Income from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company anticipates ASU 2016-01 will result in increased volatility within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in future periods.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Income Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2018-02 provides companies the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in AOCI, as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), to retained earnings. The Company elected to reclassify tax effects stranded in AOCI and recognized a decrease to Retained Earnings and a corresponding increase to AOCI of $35.9 million as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 had no impact on Total Shareholders’ Equity.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. ASU 2014-09 specifically excludes insurance contracts, lease contracts and investments from its scope. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no material impact on the Company’s net income or its financial position.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation (continued)

Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), by amending the Accounting Standards Codification and creating a new topic on accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 introduces a lessee model that requires most leases to be reported on the balance sheet of a lessee. ASU 2016-02 also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard (e.g., those related to evaluating when profit can be recognized). Furthermore, ASU 2016-02 addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. For example, ASU 2016-02 eliminates the requirement in current GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. ASU 2016-02 also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that utilizes expected credit losses to provide for an allowance for credit losses for financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement includes the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, although the ASU requires that they be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. In situations where the estimate of credit loss on an available-for-sale debt security declines, entities will be able to record the reversal to income in the current period, which GAAP currently prohibits. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018 and interim periods within such year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Derivatives and Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. Furthermore, the amendments make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and ease the administration of hedge documentation requirements and assessing hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. ASU 2018-12 amends the accounting model for certain long-duration insurance contracts and requires the insurer to provide additional disclosures in annual and interim reporting periods. ASU 2018-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. The amendments in ASU 2018-12 are intended to improve measurement of the liability for future policy benefits related to nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts, measurement and presentation of market risk benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs, and enhance presentation and disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

The Company has adopted all other recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to October 1, 2018. There were no adoptions of such accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 that had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. With the possible exceptions of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944):Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, the Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates after September 30, 2018 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and/or disclosures.

Note 2 - Acquisition of Business

Acquisition of Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation

On July 2, 2018, Kemper acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation (“Infinity”), pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement dated February 13, 2018, with total cash, stock and equity-based compensation consideration paid to Infinity shareholders of approximately $1.5 billion. In conjunction with closing the acquisition, Kemper issued 13,184,107 shares, with an aggregate fair value of $982.5 million based on Kemper’s July 2, 2018 stock price of $74.53 per share, and paid $564.6 million in cash consideration to Infinity’s shareholders. In addition, Kemper issued 44,010 restricted units under Kemper’s equity-based compensation plan to replace Infinity restricted shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing. The aggregate fair value of such Kemper restricted units granted was $3.3 million at July 2, 2018, of which $1.6 million is attributed to service provided prior to the closing and included in consideration paid. The remaining amount of $1.7 million is attributed to future service and will be recognized in compensation expense primarily over a period of two years. The cash consideration was funded by cash on hand as of July 2, 2018, inclusive of $250.0 million in borrowings under the Company’s delayed draw term loan facility and $110.0 million of Kemper subsidiary borrowings from the FHLB of Dallas and FHLB of Chicago. On July 13, 2018, Kemper subsidiaries repaid in full the $110.0 million of FHLB borrowings, plus accrued interest. See Note 5, Debt for additional information. Infinity is a national provider of auto insurance focused on serving the specialty, nonstandard segment. With approximately 10,600 independent agents and $1.4 billion in 2017 direct written premiums, Infinity is one of the largest nonstandard auto insurers in the United States.

The Company has not yet completed the process of estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, receivables, intangible assets, unearned premium reserves, certain tax-related balances and certain other asset and liabilities. Accordingly, the Company’s preliminary estimates and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change as the Company completes the process, which would also likely impact the Company’s allocation of the purchase price to Goodwill. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, changes if any, to the preliminary estimates and allocation will be reported in the Company’s financial statements as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet. Based on the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were:

The Company regularly reviews its fixed maturity investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in fair value of an investment is other than temporary. The portions of the declines in the fair values of fixed maturity investments that are determined to be other than temporary are reported as losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the periods when such determinations are made.

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company has determined to be temporary at September 30, 2018, were $86.5 million, of which $18.1 million was related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at September 30, 2018 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” There were no unrealized losses at September 30, 2018 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer.” Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $77.3 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $9.2 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities

at September 30, 2018. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was approximately 4% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At September 30, 2018, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, which may be at maturity. Based on the Company’s evaluation at September 30, 2018 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company determined to be temporary at December 31, 2017, were $19.5 million, of which $13.9 million was related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at December 31, 2017 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” There were no unrealized losses at December 31, 2017 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer.” Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $12.6 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $6.9 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at December 31, 2017. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was approximately 4% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At December 31, 2017, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The following table sets forth the pre-tax amount of other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) credit losses recognized in Retained Earnings for Investments in Fixed Maturities held by the Company as of the beginning and end of the periods presented for which a portion of the OTTI loss related to factors other than credit has been recognized in AOCI, and the corresponding changes in such amounts.

Equity Securities

Investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value were $815.8 million and $526.0 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Net unrealized gains arising during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and recognized in earnings, related to such investments still held as of September 30, 2018, were $12.4 million.

For Equity Securities at Modified Cost, the Company performs a qualitative impairment analysis on a quarterly basis consisting of various factors such as earnings performance, current market conditions, changes in credit ratings, changes in the regulatory environment and other factors. If the qualitative analysis identifies the presence of impairment indicators, the Company estimates the fair value of the investment. If the estimated fair value is below the carrying value, the Company records an other-than-temporary impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. When the Company identifies observable transactions of the same or similar securities to those held by the Company, the Company increases or decreases the carrying value to the observable transaction price. The Company did not recognize any increases or decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions. The Company recognized an impairment of $1.8 million on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of the Company’s qualitative impairment analysis. Impairments of $1.6 million were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company has recognized no cumulative increases in the carrying value due to observable transactions, no cumulative decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions and $1.8 million of cumulative impairments on Equity Securities at Modified Cost held as of September 30, 2018.

There were no unsettled sales of Investments in Equity Securities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. There were no unsettled purchases of Investments in Equity Securities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Equity Method Limited Liability Investments include investments in limited liability investment companies and limited partnerships in which the Company’s interests are not deemed minor and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s investments in Equity Method Limited Liability Investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in the management of the investment entity. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss at September 30, 2018 is limited to the total carrying value of $170.0 million. In addition, the Company had outstanding commitments totaling approximately $96.4 million to fund Equity Method Limited Liability Investments at September 30, 2018.

Property and casualty insurance reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends are likely to differ from these historical experience patterns and economic conditions. Loss experience and loss trends emerge over several years from the dates of loss inception. The Company monitors such emerging loss trends on a quarterly basis. Changes in such estimates are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period of change.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company decreased its property and casualty insurance reserves by $1.7 million to recognize favorable development of loss and LAE reserves from prior accident years. Personal lines insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $0.1 million, and commercial lines insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $1.8 million. Personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $0.5 million due primarily to the emergence of loss patterns that were more favorable than expected for both physical damage and liability insurance for the 2017 accident year, partially offset by the emergence of less favorable loss patterns than expected for both physical damage and liability insurance lines for the 2016 and prior accident years. Homeowners insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $3.6 million due primarily to the emergence of non-catastrophe loss patterns that were worse than expected for the 2016 and 2015 accident years, partially offset by favorable development on catastrophes primarily related to the 2017 accident year. Other personal lines loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $2.9 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for the 2016 and 2015 accident years. Commercial lines insurance

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company increased its property and casualty insurance reserves by $19.7 million to recognize adverse development of loss and LAE reserves from prior accident years. Personal lines insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $17.7 million, and commercial lines insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $2.0 million. Personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $18.1 million due primarily to the emergence of loss patterns that were worse than expected for both the physical damage and liability insurance for the 2016 accident year. Homeowners insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $0.1 million due primarily to favorable development on catastrophes of $3.2 million related to the 2016 and 2015 accident years, partially offset by the emergence of non-catastrophe loss patterns that were worse than expected for the 2016 accident year. Other personal lines loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $0.3 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for the 2015, 2014 and 2013 accident years, partially offset by the emergence of worse than expected loss patterns for the 2016 accident year. Commercial lines insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely due primarily to the emergence of loss patterns that were worse than expected for the 2015 accident year.

The Company cannot predict whether loss and LAE reserves will develop favorably or adversely from the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that any such development will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity, but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.

Note 5 - Debt

Amended and Extended Credit Agreement and Term Loan Facility

On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and extended credit agreement and term loan facility. The amended and extended credit agreement increased the borrowing capacity of the existing unsecured credit agreement to $300.0 million and extended the maturity date to June 8, 2023. The term loan facility includes a delayed draw feature with borrowing capacity of $250.0 million and a maturity date two years from the borrowing date. Furthermore, the amended and extended credit agreement provides for an accordion feature whereby the Company can increase either the revolving credit or term loan borrowing capacity by $100.0 million. On June 29, 2018, the Company borrowed $250.0 million on the delayed draw term loan facility to facilitate the funding of the acquisition of Infinity. The proceeds from the term loan facility, net of debt issuance costs, were $249.4 million. There were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 under the revolving credit agreement.

Infinity Debt

Infinity’s liabilities at the acquisition date included $275.0 million principal amount, 5.0% Senior Notes due September 19, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”). The 2022 Senior Notes were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, $282.1 million, with the $7.1 million premium being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term, resulting in an effective interest rate of 4.36%.

Long-term Debt

The Company designates debt obligations as either short-term or long-term based on maturity date at issuance, or in the case of the 2022 Senior Notes, based on the date of assumption. Total amortized cost of Long-term Debt outstanding at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was:

Short-term Debt

Kemper’s subsidiaries, United Insurance Company of America (“United Insurance”) and Trinity Universal Insurance Company (“Trinity”), are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Chicago and Dallas, respectively. As a requirement of membership in the FHLB, United Insurance and Trinity maintain a certain level of investment in FHLB stock. Total holdings of FHLB of Chicago stock were $0.8 million and $0.4 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Total holdings of FHLB of Dallas stock were $3.3 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

In June of 2018, United Insurance received advances of $55.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and Trinity received advances of $55.0 million from the FHLB of Dallas. The advances, which were repaid in full on July 13, 2018, were made to facilitate the funding of the acquisition of Infinity. There were no advances from the FHLB of Chicago or the FHLB of Dallas outstanding at September 30, 2018.

In March of 2018, United Insurance received advances of $10.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago. The advances, which mature in one year or less, were made in connection with the start-up of the Company’s collateralized investment borrowing program. In connection with the advances, United Insurance pledged U.S. Government Agency securities with a fair value of $15.9 million at September 30, 2018. The fair value of the collateral pledged must be maintained at certain specified levels above the borrowed amount, which can vary depending on the assets pledged. If the fair value of the collateral declines below these specified levels of the amount borrowed, United Insurance would be required to pledge additional collateral or repay outstanding borrowings. Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018 includes $10.0 million related to these advances.

There were no advances from the FHLB of Chicago or the FHLB of Dallas outstanding at December 31, 2017.

Note 6 - Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company’s awards of restricted stock contained rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company’s awards of restricted stock units and deferred stock units also contained rights to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Accordingly, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of Basic Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share and Diluted Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is presented below.

The Company applied the modified retrospective transition method, except for the provisions regarding equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which were applied on a prospective basis, with no impact on the Company’s Total Shareholders’ Equity. Accordingly, the Company recognized an increase to Retained Earnings and a corresponding reduction to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) as of January 1, 2018 of $17.7 million. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

$35.9 million as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 had no impact on Total Shareholders’ Equity. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Note 9 - Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, Public Law 115-97, more commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was enacted and included numerous changes to existing federal income tax law, including a permanent reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), the Company recorded certain provisional amounts for estimated income tax effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company finalized certain effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes, which were previously recorded as provisional amounts under SAB 118, based on additional information received from third parties and the completion of additional actuarial computations which impacted tax elections made for the 2017 and earlier tax years. As a result, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $26.0 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018. The tax benefit recognized includes the estimated benefit of elections to reset the interest rates used to discount and compute the tax-basis of reserves on certain post-1987 life insurance contracts reported in the Company's 2014 through 2017 income tax returns. Final determination of the effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes, aside from the items noted above, continues to require additional information and detailed computations, the Company expects to complete its determination of the effect of the Tax Act on its deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2018.

The statute of limitations related to Kemper and its eligible subsidiaries’ consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2013. The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the various state income tax returns that Kemper and its subsidiaries file varies by state.

Liabilities for Unrecognized Tax Benefits at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 include $3.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred income tax accounting, other than for interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the effective income tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Liabilities for Unrecognized Tax Benefits included accrued interest of $0.7 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Note 10 - Pension Benefits and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that covers approximately 9,000 participants and beneficiaries, of which 1,600 are active employees. The Pension Plan is closed to employees newly-hired after January 1, 2006. On May 12, 2016, the Company amended the Pension Plan to freeze benefit accruals, effective June 30, 2016, for substantially all of the participants under the plan. The components of Pension Benefit for the Pension Plan for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were:

Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company classifies its investments in Fixed Maturities as available for sale and reports these investments at fair value. The Company reports equity investments with readily determinable fair values as Equity Securities at Fair Value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value practical expedient are not required to be classified using the fair value hierarchy, but are presented in the following two tables to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The valuation of assets measured at fair value in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018 is summarized below.

Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Company’s investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 1 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes. The Company’s investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value that are classified as Level 1 in the two preceding tables consist of either investments in publicly-traded common stocks or exchange traded funds. The Company’s investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 2 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of investments in corporate bonds, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and bonds and mortgage-backed securities of U.S. government agencies. The Company’s investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value that are classified as Level 2 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of investments in preferred stocks. The Company uses a leading, nationally recognized provider of market data and analytics to price the vast majority of the Company’s Level 2 measurements. The provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. Because many fixed maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, the provider’s evaluated pricing applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. In addition, the provider uses model processes to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The pricing provider’s models and processes also take into account market convention. For each asset class, teams of its evaluators gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The Company generally validates the measurements obtained from its primary pricing provider by comparing them with measurements obtained from one additional pricing provider that provides either prices from recent market transactions, quotes in inactive markets or evaluations based on its own proprietary models.

The Company investigates significant differences related to the values provided. On completion of its investigation, management exercises judgment to determine the price selected and whether adjustments, if any, to the price obtained from the Company’s primary pricing provider would warrant classification of the price as Level 3. In instances where a measurement cannot be obtained from either pricing provider, the Company generally will evaluate bid prices from one or more binding quotes obtained from market makers to value investments in inactive markets and classified by the Company as Level 2. The Company generally classifies securities when it receives non-binding quotes or indications as Level 3 securities unless the Company can validate the quote or indication against recent transactions in the market.

The Company’s Investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 3 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of privately placed securities not rated by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization and are priced primarily using a market yield approach. A market yield approach uses a risk-free rate plus a credit spread depending on the underlying credit profile of the security. For floating rate securities, the risk-free rate used in the market yield is the contractual floating rate of the security. For each individual security, the Company or the Company’s third party appraiser gathers information from market sources, relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news and determines an appropriate market yield for each security. The market yield selected is then used to discount the estimated future cash flows of the security to determine the fair value. The Company separately evaluates market yields based upon asset class to assess the reasonableness of the recorded fair value. For non-investment-grade Investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 3, the two primary asset classes are senior debt and junior debt. Senior debt includes those securities that receive first priority in a liquidation and junior debt includes any fixed maturity security with other than first priority in a liquidation.

The table below presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs utilized by the Company in determining fair values for fixed maturity investments in corporate securities classified as Level 3 at September 30, 2018.



(Dollars in Millions)	Unobservable Input	Total Fair Value		Range of Unobservable Inputs					Weighted-average Yield

Total Level 3 Fixed Maturity Investments in Corporate Securities		$	494.8

For an investment in a fixed maturity security, an increase in the yield used to determine the fair value of the security will decrease the fair value of the security. A decrease in the yield used to determine fair value will increase the fair value of the security, but the fair value increase is generally limited to par, unless callable at a premium, if the security is currently callable.

Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017. Transfers out of Level 3 were $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, of which $3.5 million was transferred into Level 1 due to an issuer’s initial public offering of the security and $40.4 million was transferred into Level 2 due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, were due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs.

Presented below are the carrying values and fair value estimates of financial instruments not carried at fair value.



	September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
(Dollars in Millions)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financial Assets:
Loans to Policyholders	$	298.0	$	519.6	$	298.6	$	560.3

Collateralized Borrowings (Included in Other Liabilities)	10.0		10.0		—		—

The fair value measurement for loans to policyholders are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value measurement of Short-term Investments is estimated using inputs that are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 measurements. The fair value of Debt is estimated using quoted prices for similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements. Collateralized Borrowings consist of short-term advances from the FHLB of Chicago, and the inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements.

Note 13 - Contingencies

In the ordinary course of its businesses, the Company is involved in legal proceedings including lawsuits, regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries. Except with regard to the matters discussed below, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of its pending legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Over the last decade, there have been an array of initiatives that seek to impose new duties on life insurance companies to proactively search for information related to the deaths of their insureds. These initiatives, which can include legislation, unclaimed property audits, market conduct examinations and related litigation, could have the effect of altering the terms of Kemper’s life insurance subsidiaries’ existing life insurance contracts by imposing requirements that did not exist and were not contemplated at the time those companies entered into such contracts.

In 2016, the Company voluntarily began implementing a comprehensive process to compare its life insurance records against one or more death verification databases to determine if any of its insureds may be deceased. Any attempt to estimate the ultimate outcomes of the aforementioned initiatives entails uncertainties including, but not limited to (i) the scope and interpretation of statutes that require proactive use of death verification databases (“DMF”), including the matching criteria and methodologies to be used in comparing policy records against a DMF, (ii) the universe of policies affected, (iii) the results of audits, examinations and other actions by regulators, and (iv) related litigation.

Gain Contingency

In October 2015, Kemper’s subsidiary, Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. (“KCSI”), filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), claiming that Computer Services Corporation (“CSC”) had breached the terms of a master software license and services agreement and related agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) by failing, among other things, to timely produce and deliver certain software to KCSI. CSC denied KCSI’s claims and filed a counterclaim. On April 1, 2017, CSC merged with a spin-off of the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and is now known as DXC Technology Company (“DXC”); DXC’s stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Note 13 - Contingencies (continued)

In April 2017, the parties participated in an evidentiary hearing before a AAA-appointed arbitrator.

In October 2017, the arbitrator issued a Partial Final Award finding that CSC had breached the Agreements and awarding KCSI direct damages of $84.3 million plus pre-judgment interest at an annual rate of 9% pursuant to applicable law. KCSI subsequently filed a Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas seeking confirmation and enforcement of the Partial Final Award and also submitted to the arbitrator a supplemental petition providing pre-judgment interest calculations and seeking an award for certain arbitration costs and expenses. In November 2017, the arbitrator issued a Final Award granting KCSI direct damages against CSC of $84.3 million, prejudgment interest at the annual rate of 9% and costs and expenses in the amount of $7.2 million. KCSI then filed an Amended Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award seeking confirmation and enforcement of the Final Award.

In December 2017, CSC filed a Petition to Vacate an Arbitration Award in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and a motion to stay the proceedings in Texas. Following briefing and a hearing, the New York district court denied CSC’s motion to stay the Texas action and instead stayed the New York action. In March 2018, the Texas district court denied CSC’s motion to transfer venue and the New York district court subsequently transferred the vacatur proceeding to Texas. In April, the Texas district court consolidated the two actions and the parties briefed KCSI’s Amended Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award and CSC’s motion to vacate the arbitration award.

On September 26, 2018, the Texas district court issued an Amended Final Judgment that (i) confirmed the Arbitration Award in favor of KCSI, (ii) denied CSC’s motion to vacate, and (iii) entered judgment in the amount of $141.7 million against CSC. CSC has indicated it intends to appeal the court’s ruling, but in the meantime has tendered to Kemper a payment of $35.7 million as partial satisfaction of the final judgment, with approximately $28.5 million of the payment attributable to the direct damages that are not contested by CSC and $7.2 million to the costs and expenses noted above. Kemper has recognized the payment as a gain for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company cannot make any assurance as to the additional amounts of the final judgment that will actually be collected or when they may be received. The unpaid balance of the final judgment is treated as a gain contingency for accounting purposes and accordingly, is not recognized in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 14 - Related Parties

Mr. Christopher B. Sarofim, a director of Kemper, is Vice Chairman and a member of the board of directors of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“FS&C”), a registered investment advisory firm. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan had $141.5 million in assets managed by FS&C at September 30, 2018 under an agreement with FS&C whereby FS&C provides investment management services with respect to certain funds of the plan. Investment expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company believes that the services described above have been provided on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.

Net Income

Net Income increased by $99.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. In the Property & Casualty Insurance segment, segment net operating income increased by $73.7 million due primarily to lower incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development), a favorable change in loss and LAE reserve development and lower underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, particularly in the Company’s preferred personal automobile insurance and nonstandard automobile insurance businesses. See MD&A, “Property & Casualty Insurance,” for additional discussion of the segment’s results. In the Life & Health Insurance segment, segment net operating income increased by $11.4 million due primarily to lower income tax rates and, to a lesser extent, lower commissions, partially offset by higher incurred losses and policyholders benefits as a percentage of earned premiums. See MD&A, “Life & Health Insurance,” for discussion of the segment’s results. The Company’s results were positively impacted in 2018, compared to

Summary of Results (continued)

2017, due to the recognition of a gain for the partial satisfaction of a final judgment against CSC and a tax benefit due to the finalization of certain effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes (see Note 13, “Contingencies,” and Note 9, “Income Taxes,” respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company’s results were adversely impacted in 2018, compared to 2017, by lower net realized gains on sales of investments, acquisition related transaction and integration costs, a lease termination charge associated with the Company’s relocation of its corporate headquarters and higher interest expense. See MD&A, “Investment Results,” and MD&A, “Insurance Expenses and Interest and Other Expenses,” for additional discussion.

Net Income increased by $44.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. In the Property & Casualty Insurance segment, segment net operating income increased by $5.3 million due primarily to lower incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) and a favorable change in loss and LAE reserve development, partially offset by higher insurance expenses as a percentage of average earned premiums, driven by amortization of intangible assets associated with the Infinity acquisition, and higher underlying losses as a percentage of earned premiums within homeowners insurance. See MD&A, “Property & Casualty Insurance,” for additional discussion of the segment’s results. In the Life & Health Insurance segment, segment net operating income increased by $3.2 million due primarily to lower income tax rates. See MD&A, “Life & Health Insurance,” for discussion of the segment’s results. The Company’s results were positively impacted in 2018, compared to 2017, due to the recognition of the gain for the partial satisfaction of the judgment against CSC and the tax benefit due to the finalization of certain effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes, partially offset by acquisition related transaction and integration costs and the lease termination charge.

Revenues

Earned Premiums were $2,320.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1,744.1 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $576.7 million. Earned Premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $568.4 million and $8.3 million in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment and Life & Health Insurance segment, respectively. Infinity accounted for $377.9 million of the increase in Earned Premiums in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. See MD&A, “Property & Casualty Insurance,” and MD&A, “Life & Health Insurance,” for discussion of the changes in each segment’s earned premiums.

Earned Premiums were $1,052.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $598.2 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $454.7 million. Earned Premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $451.7 million and $3.0 million in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment and Life & Health Insurance segment, respectively. Infinity accounted for $377.9 million of the increase in Earned Premiums in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment for the three months ended September 30, 2018. See MD&A, “Property & Casualty Insurance,” and MD&A, “Life & Health Insurance,” for discussion of the changes in each segment’s earned premiums.

Net Investment Income increased by $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, due primarily to a higher level of investments in fixed income securities and short-term securities, partially offset by a lower rate of return from Alternative Investments, lower yields on fixed income securities and the impact of presenting Fair Value Option Investments within Income from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities (outside of Net Investment Income) as of January 1, 2018. Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments, which consists of Equity Method Limited Liability Investments and limited liability investments included in either Equity Securities at Fair Value or Equity Securities at Modified Cost, decreased by $9.7 million. Alternative investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments decreased by $13.8 million, partially offset by an increase in alternative investment income from limited liability investments included in either Equity Securities at Fair Value or Equity Securities at Modified Cost of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. No Net Investment Income was recorded on Fair Value Option Investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2017.

Net Investment Income increased by $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, due primarily to a higher level of investments in fixed income securities and short-term securities, partially offset by a lower rate of return from Alternative Investments, lower yields on fixed income securities and the impact of presenting Fair Value Option Investments within Income from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities (outside of Net Investment Income) as of January 1, 2018. Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments, which consists of Equity Method Limited Liability Investments and limited liability investments included in either Equity Securities at Fair Value or Equity Securities at Modified Cost, decreased by $3.7 million. Alternative investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments decreased by $11.5 million, partially offset by an increase in alternative investment income from limited liability investments included in either Equity Securities at Fair Value or Equity Securities at Modified Cost by $7.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the

same period in 2017. No Net Investment Income was recorded on Fair Value Option Investments for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the same period in 2017.

Other Income increased by $37.3 million and $36.8 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, due primarily to the the partial satisfaction of the final judgment against CSC. The Company cannot make any assurance as to the additional amounts of the final judgment that will actually be collected or when they may be received. The unpaid balance of the final judgment is treated as a gain contingency for accounting purposes and accordingly, is not recognized in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 13, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments were $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $45.0 million for the same period in 2017. Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments were $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2017.

Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings were $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2017. There were $1.8 million Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2017.

See MD&A, “Investment Results,” under the sub-captions “Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments” and “Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings” for additional discussion. The Company cannot predict if or when similar investment gains or losses may occur in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Underlying Losses and LAE and Underlying Combined Ratio

The following discussion for the Property & Casualty Insurance segment uses the non-GAAP financial measures of (i) Underlying Losses and LAE and (ii) Underlying Combined Ratio. Underlying Losses and LAE (also referred to in the discussion as “Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE”) exclude the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years from the Company’s Incurred Losses and LAE, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Underlying Combined Ratio is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Insurance Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the Combined Ratio, which is computed by adding total incurred losses and LAE, including the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years, with the Insurance Expense Ratio.

The Company believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in the Company’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause the Company’s 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 developments are 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. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s underwriting performance.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Income from Continuing Operations the after-tax impact of:


(i)	Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities;


(ii)	Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments;


(iii)	Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings related to investments;


(iv)	Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration and Other Costs;


(v)	Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt; and


(vi)	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 from Continuing Operations. There were no applicable significant non-

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)

recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

The Company believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income 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. Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities, Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments and Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings related to investments included in the Company’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. Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt is driven by the Company’s financing and refinancing decisions and capital needs, as well as external economic developments such as debt market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Acquisition Related Transaction and Integration Costs may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by the timing of acquisitions and business decisions which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s business or economic trends.

The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Company’s businesses.

Overall

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Same Period in 2017

The Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Segment Net Operating Income of $79.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to Segment Net Operating Income of $5.7 million for the same period in 2017. Segment net operating results improved by $73.7 million due primarily to lower incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development), a favorable change in loss and LAE reserve development, lower underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, particularly in the Company’s preferred personal automobile insurance and nonstandard personal automobile insurance businesses, partially offset by higher insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums due to amortization of Infinity purchase accounting adjustments.

Earned Premiums in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $568.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Infinity accounted for $377.9 million of the increase, while higher volume and higher average earned premium on Kemper’s legacy business accounted for increases of $125.3 million and $65.3 million, respectively. The higher volume was driven by nonstandard personal automobile insurance, which had a volume increase of $147.6 million, partially offset by volume decreases in homeowners insurance and preferred personal automobile insurance of $12.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The majority of product lines experienced an increase in average earned premium, although the overall impact on Earned Premiums was driven primarily by nonstandard personal automobile insurance and preferred personal automobile insurance, which had increases due to higher average earned premium of $50.1 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

Net Investment Income in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, due primarily to higher level of investments in fixed income securities and to a lesser extent, a higher rate of return from Alternative Investments. The Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments of $30.3 million in 2018, compared to $30.1 million in 2017.

Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 71.5% in 2018, an improvement of 0.5 percentage points, compared to 2017, driven primarily by improvements in nonstandard personal automobile insurance, preferred personal automobile insurance and commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by deterioration in homeowners insurance. Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and loss and LAE reserve development. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $69.6 million in 2018, compared to $128.2 million in 2017, a decrease of $58.6 million. This decrease was due primarily to no catastrophic events with losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) of greater than $25 million in 2018, compared to one, a Texas hailstorm, occurring in 2017. Favorable Loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $2.8 million in 2018, compared to adverse development of $18.6 million in 2017.

Insurance expenses were $441.4 million, or 23.8% of earned premiums, in 2018, a deterioration of 1.4 percentage points compared to 2017, driven primarily by the amortization of Infinity purchase accounting adjustments.

The Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $14.4 million in 2018, compared to $19.6 million in 2017.

Property & Casualty Insurance (continued)

Overall

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Same Period in 2017

The Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Segment Net Operating Income of $28.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $22.9 million for the same period in 2017. Segment net operating results improved by $5.3 million due primarily to lower incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) and a favorable change in loss and LAE reserve development, partially offset by higher insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums due to amortization of Infinity purchase accounting adjustments and higher underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, particularly in the Company’s homeowners insurance business.

Earned Premiums in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $451.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Infinity accounted for $377.9 million of the increase, while higher volume and higher average earned premium on Kemper’s legacy business accounted for increases of $53.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively. The higher volume was driven primarily by nonstandard personal automobile insurance, which had a volume increase of $59.7 million, partially offset by a volume decrease in homeowners insurance of $3.9 million. The majority of product lines experienced an increase in average earned premium, although the overall impact on Earned Premiums was driven primarily by nonstandard personal automobile insurance and preferred personal automobile insurance, which had increases due to higher average earned premium of $47.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Net Investment Income in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, due primarily to higher level of investments in fixed income securities and to a lesser extent, a higher rate of return on Alternative Investments. The Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments of $15.9 million in 2018, compared to $12.7 million in 2017.

Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 71.9% in 2018, an increase of 1.3 percentage points, compared to 2017, driven primarily by deterioration in homeowners insurance, partially offset by improvements in preferred personal automobile insurance and nonstandard personal automobile insurance. Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and loss and LAE reserve development. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $19.7 million in 2018, compared to $29.8 million in 2017, a decrease of $10.1 million driven primarily by lower severity of losses, partially offset by higher frequency of catastrophes. Favorable loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $3.7 million in 2018, compared to adverse development of $0.4 million in 2017.

Insurance expenses were $234.0 million, or 26.1% of earned premiums, in 2018, an increase of 4.1 percentage points compared to 2017, driven primarily by the amortization of Infinity purchase accounting adjustments.

The Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $5.8 million in 2018, compared to $7.0 million in 2017.

Earned Premiums on preferred personal automobile insurance increased by $8.7 million as higher average earned premium accounted for an increase of $13.4 million, while lower volume accounted for a decrease of $4.7 million. The run-off of the direct-to-consumer business accounted for approximately 85% of the decrease in earned premiums attributed to lower volume. Incurred losses and LAE were $226.4 million, or 69.7% of earned premiums, in 2018, compared to $257.3 million, or 81.3% of earned premiums, in 2017. Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums decreased due primarily to a favorable change in loss and LAE reserve development, lower underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of related earned premiums and lower incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development). Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of related earned premiums were 68.7% in 2018, compared to 72.0% in 2017, an improvement of 3.3 percentage points due primarily to lower frequency of claims and higher average earned premium, partially offset by higher severity of losses. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $6.8 million in 2018, compared to $11.4 million in 2017. Loss and LAE reserve development was favorable by $3.6 million in 2018, compared to adverse development of $18.0 million in 2017.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Same Period in 2017

Earned Premiums on preferred personal automobile insurance increased by $4.9 million as higher average earned premium accounted for an increase of $5.1 million, while lower volume accounted for a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease in earned premiums attributed to lower volume were driven entirely by the run-off of the direct-to-consumer business. Incurred losses and LAE were $74.6 million, or 67.0% of earned premiums, in 2018, compared to $77.8 million, or 73.1% of earned premiums, in 2017. Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums decreased due primarily to a favorable change in loss and LAE reserve development and lower underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of related earned premiums. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of related earned premiums were 67.2% in 2018, compared to 69.7% in 2017, an improvement of 2.5 percentage points due primarily to lower frequency of claims and higher average earned premium, partially offset by higher severity of losses. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $2.3 million in 2018, compared to $2.8 million in 2017. Loss and LAE reserve development was favorable $2.6 million in 2018, compared to adverse development of $0.8 million in 2017.

Investment Quality and Concentrations

The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio is comprised primarily of high-grade municipal, corporate and agency bonds. At September 30, 2018, 92% of the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio was rated investment-grade, which the Company defines as a security issued by a high quality obligor with at least a relatively stable credit profile and where it is highly likely that all contractual payments of principal and interest will timely occur and carry a rating from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) of 1 or 2. Securities with a rating of 1 or 2 from the NAIC typically are rated by one of more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations and either have a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”); a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”); or a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from Fitch Ratings.

Income Taxes

The federal corporate statutory income tax rate was 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 35% for the same period in 2017. The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations differs from the federal corporate income tax rate due primarily to finalizing certain effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes, which were previously recorded as provisional amounts under SAB 118, tax-exempt investment income, dividends received deductions and a permanent difference between the amount of long-term equity-based equity compensation expense recognized under GAAP and the amount deductible in the computation of Federal taxable income.

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $26.0 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of finalizing certain effects of the Tax Act on deferred income taxes, which were previously recorded as provisional amounts. The Company anticipates finalizing the remaining provisional amounts within deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2018. See Note 9, “Income Taxes,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions collectively were $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $21.5 million for the same period in 2017. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions collectively were $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2017. The amount of expense recognized for long-term equity-based compensation expense under U.S. GAAP was $6.1 million lower than the amount that would be deductible under the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The amount of expense recognized for long-term equity-based compensation expense under U.S. GAAP was $2.1 million lower than the amount that would be deductible under the IRC for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to October 1, 2018. Other than the adoption of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, as discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the impact of adopting new accounting guidance was not material. With the possible exceptions of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944):Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, the Company does not expect the adoption of all other recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates after September 30, 2018 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and/or disclosures. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Amended and Extended Credit Agreement and Term-Loan Facility

On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and extended credit agreement and term loan facility. The amended and extended credit agreement increased the borrowing capacity of the existing unsecured credit agreement to $300.0 million and extended the maturity date to June 8, 2023. The term loan facility includes a delayed draw feature with borrowing capacity of $250.0 million and a maturity date two years from the borrowing date. Furthermore, the amended and extended credit agreement provides for an accordion feature whereby the Company can increase either the revolving credit or term loan borrowing capacity by $100.0 million. On June 29, 2018, the Company borrowed $250.0 million on the delayed draw term loan facility to finance the acquisition of Infinity. The proceeds from the term loan facility, net of debt issuance costs, were $249.4 million. There were no outstanding borrowings at either September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 under the revolving credit agreement.

Infinity Debt

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Long-term Debt

The Company has $450.0 million of 4.35% senior notes due February 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”) outstanding as of September 30, 2018. The Company initially issued $250 million of the 2025 Senior Notes in February of 2015. In June of 2017, Kemper issued an additional $200 million of its 2025 Senior Notes. The proceeds of the additional issuance were $200.2 million, net of discount and transaction costs, for an effective yield of 4.16%. The additional notes are fungible with the initial notes issued, and together are treated as part of a single series for all purposes under the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes. The 2025 Senior Notes are unsecured and may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time at Kemper’s option at specified redemption prices. Kemper used the net proceeds from the additional issuances for general corporate purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2016, in anticipation of a debt issuance in 2017, the Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge changes in the benchmark U.S. Treasury. Amortization of the effective portion of this hedging arrangement effectively increases the yield on the additional issuance of 2025 Senior Notes from 4.16% to 4.42%.

See Note 4, “Debt,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Short-term Debt

In June of 2018, United Insurance received advances of $55.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and Trinity received advances of $55.0 million from the FHLB of Dallas. The advances, which were repaid in full on July 13, 2018, were made to facilitate the funding of the acquisition of Infinity. See Note 2, “Acquisition of Business” and Note 4, “Debt,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

There were no advances from the FHLB of Chicago or the FHLB of Dallas outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

See Note 4, “Debt,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Various state insurance laws restrict the ability of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws generally restrict the amount of dividends paid in an annual period to the greater of statutory net income from the previous year or 10% of statutory capital and surplus. Kemper’s direct insurance subsidiaries paid $130.4 million in dividends to Kemper during the first nine months of 2018. Kemper estimates that its direct insurance subsidiaries would be able to pay approximately an additional $70.6 million in dividends to Kemper during the remainder of 2018 without prior regulatory approval.

Acquisition of Infinity

On July 2, 2018, Kemper completed the acquisition of Infinity pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement dated February 13, 2018, with total cash, stock and equity-based compensation consideration paid to Infinity shareholders of approximately $1.5 billion. In conjunction with closing the acquisition, Kemper issued 13,184,107 shares, with an aggregate fair value of $982.5 million based on Kemper’s July 2, 2018 stock price of $74.53 per share, and paid $564.6 million in cash consideration. In addition, Kemper issued 44,010 restricted units under Kemper’s equity-based compensation plan to replace Infinity restricted shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing. The aggregate fair value of such Kemper restricted units granted was $3.3 million at July 2, 2018, of which $1.6 million is attributed to service provided prior to the closing and included in consideration paid. The remaining amount of $1.7 million is attributed to future service and will be recognized in

compensation expense primarily over a period of two years. The cash consideration was funded by cash on hand as of July 2, 2018, inclusive of $250.0 million in borrowings under the Company’s delayed draw term loan facility and $110.0 million of Kemper subsidiary borrowings from the FHLB of Dallas and FHLB of Chicago. On July 13, 2018, Kemper subsidiaries repaid in full the $110.0 million of FHLB borrowings, plus accrued interest. See Note 4, “Debt,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Infinity is a national provider of auto insurance focused on serving the specialty, nonstandard segment. With approximately 2,300 employees, 10,600 independent agents and $1.4 billion in 2017 direct written premiums, Infinity is one of the largest nonstandard auto insurers in the United States.

Dividends to Shareholders

Kemper paid a quarterly dividend to shareholders of $0.24 per common share in the first, second and third quarters of 2018. Dividends and dividend equivalents paid were $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Sources and Uses of Funds

Kemper directly held cash and investments totaling $91.3 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $197.3 million at December 31, 2017.

Primary sources available for the repayment of indebtedness, repurchases of common stock, future shareholder dividend payments and the payment of interest on Kemper’s senior notes, subordinated debentures and term loan, include cash and investments directly held by Kemper, receipt of dividends from Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries and borrowings under the credit agreement and from subsidiaries.

The primary sources of funds for Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment income and proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments, advances from the FHLBs of Dallas and Chicago, and capital contributions from Kemper. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses, the purchase of investments and repayments of advances from the FHLBs of Dallas and Chicago. Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid.

In 2016, the Company’s Life & Health segment voluntarily began implementing a comprehensive process under which it cross-references its life insurance policies against death verification databases to identify potential situations where the beneficiaries may not have filed a claim following the death of an insured and initiate an outreach process to identify and contact beneficiaries and settle claims. The Company expects that it will take several years to complete the initial outreach process.

During periods of growth, property and casualty insurance companies typically experience positive operating cash flows and are able to invest a portion of their operating cash flows to fund future policyholder benefits and claims. During periods in which premium revenues decline, insurance companies may experience negative cash flows from operations and may need to sell investments to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. In addition, if the Company’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may have to be sold in advance of their maturity dates to fund payments, which could result in either investment gains or losses. Management believes that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the event that they were to experience several future catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was $345.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $164.5 million for the same period in 2017.

Net Cash provided by Financing Activities was $218.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net cash used of $193.1 million for the same period in 2017. Net proceeds from borrowing under the term loan facility provided $249.4 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net proceeds from FHLB advances provided $10.0 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Kemper used $40.7 million of cash to pay dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $37.1 million of cash used to pay dividends in the same period of 2017. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.24 per common share for the first, second and third quarters of 2018 and each quarter of 2017.

Cash available for investment activities in total is dependent on cash flow from Operating Activities and Financing Activities and the level of cash the Company elects to maintain. Net Cash Used by Investing Activities was $516.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities of $50.5 million for the same period in 2017. Short-term investments investing activities used $351.6 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to providing $40.4 million of cash for the same period in 2017. Fixed Maturities investing activities provided

net cash of $613.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to using $34.1 million of cash for the same period in 2017. Equity Securities investing activities used net cash of $157.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net cash used of $3.2 million for the same period in 2017. Equity Method Limited Liability Investments investing activities used net cash of $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net cash provided of $21.8 million for the same period in 2017. No cash was provided or used by Fair Value Option Investments investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net cash provided of $35.2 million for the same period in 2017. Net cash used for the acquisition of Infinity was $560.6 million. Net cash used for the acquisition and development of software was $53.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $28.8 million for the same period in 2017.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Kemper’s subsidiaries conduct their operations in two industries: property and casualty insurance and life and health insurance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The process of estimation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could ultimately differ materially from the estimated amounts reported in a company’s financial statements. Different assumptions are likely to result in different estimates of reported amounts.

The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and the valuation of pension benefit obligations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 2017 Annual Report. There has been no material changes to the information disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s critical accounting policies except for the classification and measurement of equity investments as discussed further below.

Equity Investments

Equity investments include common stocks, non-redeemable preferred stocks, exchange traded funds, money market mutual funds and limited liability companies and investment partnerships in which the Company’s interests are deemed minor. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in fair value reported as Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities. Dividend income on investments in common and non-redeemable preferred stocks is recognized on the ex-dividend date. The Company holds certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transaction for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Equity Securities at Modified Cost. Changes in carrying value of Modified Cost investments due to observable price changes are recorded as Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity Securities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company’s disclosures about market risk in Item 7, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of Part II of the 2017 Annual Report. Accordingly, no disclosures about market risk have been made in Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.

Quantitative Information About Market Risk

Financial instruments subject to material market risk disclosures required by the SEC were reported on the following lines of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


1)	Investments in Fixed Maturities;


2)	Investments in Equity Securities;


3)	Fair Value Option Investments; and


4)	Debt.

Investments in Fixed Maturities and Debt are subject to material interest rate risk. The Company’s Investments in Equity Securities include common and preferred stocks and, accordingly, are subject to material equity price risk and interest rate risk, respectively. The Company’s Fair Value Option Investments include hedge funds that are subject to material equity price risk.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)

For purposes of this disclosure, market risk sensitive financial instruments are divided into two categories: financial instruments acquired for trading purposes and financial instruments acquired for purposes other than trading. The Company’s market risk sensitive financial instruments are generally classified as held for purposes other than trading. The Company has no significant holdings of financial instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company has no significant holdings of derivatives.

The Company measures its sensitivity to market risk by evaluating the change in its financial assets and liabilities relative to fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. The evaluation is made using instantaneous changes in interest rates and equity prices on a static balance sheet to determine the effect such changes would have on the Company’s market value at risk and the resulting pre-tax effect on Shareholders’ Equity. The changes chosen represent the Company’s view of adverse changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. The selection of the changes chosen should not be construed as the Company’s prediction of future market events, but rather an illustration of the impact of such possible events.

For the interest rate sensitivity analysis presented below, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in the yield curve at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 for Investments in Fixed Maturities. Such 100 basis point increase in the yield curve may not necessarily result in a corresponding 100 basis point increase in the interest rate for all investments in fixed maturities. For example, a 100 basis point increase in the yield curve for risk-free, taxable investments in fixed maturities may not result in a 100 basis point increase for tax-exempt investments in fixed maturities. For Investments in Fixed Maturities, the Company also anticipated changes in cash flows due to changes in the likelihood that investments would be called or pre-paid prior to their contractual maturity. All other variables were held constant. For preferred stock equity securities, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. All other variables were held constant. For Debt, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous decrease of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. All other variables were held constant.

The Company measured equity price sensitivity assuming an adverse and instantaneous 30% decrease in the Standard and Poor’s Stock Index (the “S&P 500”) from its levels at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, with all other variables held constant. The Company’s investments in common stock equity securities were correlated with the S&P 500 using the common stock portfolio’s weighted-average beta of 1.00 and 1.00 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Beta measures a stock’s relative volatility in relation to the rest of the stock market, with the S&P 500 having a beta coefficient of 1.00. The common stock portfolio’s weighted-average beta was calculated using each security’s beta for the five-year periods ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and weighted on the fair value of such securities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For equity securities without observable market inputs, the Company assumed a beta of 1.00 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company’s Fair Value Option Investments were correlated with the S&P 500 using such portfolio’s weighted-average beta of 0.06 at and December 31, 2017, which was calculated for each hedge fund in the portfolio and weighted on the fair value of the hedge funds.

The estimated adverse effects on the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments using these assumptions were:



			Pro Forma Increase (Decrease)
(Dollars in Millions)	Fair Value		Interest Rate Risk			Equity Price Risk			Total Market Risk

Liabilities:
Debt	$	614.6	$	30.1		$	—		$	30.1

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)

The market risk sensitivity analysis assumes that the composition of the Company’s interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, credit quality, and the equity price sensitive assets existing at the beginning of the period remains constant over the period being measured. It also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is uniform across the yield curve regardless of the time to maturity. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Also, any future correlation, either in the near term or the long term, between the Company’s common stock equity securities portfolio and the S&P 500 may differ from the historical correlation as represented by the weighted-average historical beta of the common stock equity securities portfolio. Accordingly, the market risk sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of, is not intended to provide, and does not provide, a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market rates on the Company’s income or shareholders’ equity. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in interest rates or equity prices.

To the extent that any adverse 100 basis point change occurs in increments over a period of time instead of instantaneously, the adverse impact on fair values would be partially mitigated because some of the underlying financial instruments would have matured. For example, proceeds from any maturing assets could be reinvested and any new liabilities would be incurred at the then current interest rates.

Qualitative Information About Market Risk

Market risk is a broad term related to economic losses due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument and is inherent to all financial instruments. SEC disclosure rules focus on only one element of market risk - price risk. Price risk relates to changes in the level of prices due to changes in interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates or other factors that relate to market volatility of the rate, index or price underlying the financial instrument. The Company’s primary market risk exposures are to changes in interest rates and equity prices.

The Company manages its interest rate exposures with respect to Investments in Fixed Maturities by investing primarily in investment-grade securities of moderate effective duration.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Kemper in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


(b)	Changes in internal controls.

See Note 2, Acquisition of Business,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details of the transaction. The Company is currently in the process of assessing Infinity’s material internal controls over financial reporting. Other than in connection with this acquisition, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
