NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Unitrin, Inc. (“Unitrin” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 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, is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC and have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited 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 certain 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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Annual Report”).

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company combined the personal lines operations of its former Multi Lines Insurance segment into the Kemper Auto and Home segment. In addition, the Company created a separate, stand-alone business operation, referred to as Unitrin Business Insurance, to manage the commercial lines operations of the former Multi Lines Insurance segment. Accordingly, segment results for 2004 have been restated to conform to the current management reporting structure.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, prospectively to all awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003.

 

The effects on Net Income, Net Income Per Share and Net Income Per Share Assuming Dilution if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards since the effective date of SFAS No. 123 for the periods presented below were:

Note 2 - Investment in Investee

 

Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Investee was income of $2.6 million and a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Unitrin accounts for its investment in its investee, UNOVA, Inc. (“UNOVA”), under the equity method of accounting using the most recent and sufficiently timely publicly-available financial reports and other publicly-available information, which generally results in a three month delay in the inclusion of UNOVA’s results in Unitrin’s consolidated financial statements. Prior to the periods presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Unitrin determined that a decline in the fair value of its investment in UNOVA was other than temporary under applicable accounting standards. Accordingly, Unitrin reduced the carrying value of its investment in UNOVA to its then current estimated realizable value and allocated the reduction to Unitrin’s proportionate share of UNOVA’s non-current assets. Accordingly, Unitrin’s reported equity in the net income of UNOVA differs from Unitrin’s proportionate share of UNOVA’s reported results to the extent that such results include depreciation, amortization or other charges related to such non-current assets. Unitrin estimates that UNOVA has now subsequently fully recognized in its financial statements the amortization, depreciation or write-downs of such non-current assets. Accordingly, Unitrin expects that its net income from investee, UNOVA, will equal its proportionate share of UNOVA’s results on a going forward basis.

 

The fair value of Unitrin’s investment in UNOVA exceeded the carrying value of Unitrin’s investment in UNOVA by $182.2 million and $248.2 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, such excess is not included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Note 3 - Other Receivables

 

Other Receivables at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 included reinsurance recoverables of $175.2 million and $180.9 million, respectively, from General Security National Insurance Company (“GSNIC”), a subsidiary of SCOR Reinsurance Company (“SRC”). Under the agreement governing the Company’s 2002 acquisition of certain companies from SRC, SRC and/or GSNIC are responsible for all liabilities of the acquired companies incurred prior to the acquisition. GSNIC is rated “B++” (Very Good) by A.M. Best Co., Inc., the principal insurance company rating agency.

 

Note 4 - Notes Payable

 

Total Debt Outstanding at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was:

Note 5 - Securities Lending

 

Some of the Company’s subsidiaries are parties to securities lending agreements whereby unrelated parties, primarily large brokerage firms, borrow securities from the subsidiaries’ accounts. Borrowers of these securities must deposit cash collateral with the subsidiaries equal to 102% of the fair value of the securities loaned. The subsidiaries continue to receive the interest on loaned securities as beneficial owners, and accordingly, the loaned securities are included in Fixed Maturities. The amount of collateral received is invested in short-term securities and is included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as Short-term Investments with a corresponding Liability for Funds Held for Securities on Loan included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. The fair value of collateral held was $63.9 million at March 31, 2005. No securities were on loan at December 31, 2004.

Note 8 - Income from Investments (continued)

 

Net Realized Investment Gains were $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $18.5 million for the same period in 2004. Net Realized Investment Gains for the three months ended March 31, 2005 includes pre-tax gains of $2.2 million from sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Baker Hughes, Inc. (“Baker Hughes”) common stock and pre-tax gains of $1.7 million resulting from sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“Hartford”) common stock. The fair value of the Company’s remaining investments in Baker Hughes common stock and Hartford common stock was $46.8 million and $18.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2005. The Company cannot anticipate when or if similar investment gains may occur in the future.

 

Net Realized Investment Gains for the three months ended March 31, 2004 includes pre-tax gains of $8.3 million from sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Northrop Grumman Corporation (“Northrop”) common stock, pre-tax gains of $4.1 million from sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Baker Hughes common stock and pre-tax gains of $3.2 million from sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Hartford common stock. The Company cannot anticipate when or if similar investment gains may occur in the future.

 

The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in the fair value of an investment is other than temporary. Some factors considered in evaluating whether or not a decline in fair value is other than temporary include: 1) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value; 2) the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; and 3) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer. Net Realized Investment Gains for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 includes pre-tax losses of $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, resulting from other than temporary declines in the fair value of investments. The Company cannot anticipate when or if similar investment losses may occur in the future.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

 

At December 31, 2004, the Company had not provided Federal income taxes on approximately $192 million of income earned prior to 1984 by certain of the Company’s life insurance subsidiaries (the “Pre-1984 Undistributed Income”). Under tax laws applicable to years 2004 and prior, such income would not be subject to Federal income taxes under certain circumstances. Federal income taxes could have been incurred on such income if it had been distributed to shareholders or if other limitations were not met. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“AJCA”) has effectively suspended the taxation of this income for years 2005 and 2006. Furthermore, to the extent qualifying distributions can be made in 2005 and/or 2006 out of the affected life insurance subsidiaries, the Company can eliminate any or all of this income that would potentially be subject to tax in years after 2006. During the first quarter of 2005, United Insurance Company of America (“United”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Unitrin, paid a dividend of $15 million to Unitrin, which reduced the Pre-1984 Undistributed Income by the same amount. There was no impact on income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to the suspension of taxation described above. The Company anticipates that United will pay additional dividends totaling $45 million during the remainder of 2005, which will also reduce the Pre-1984 Undistributed Income by the same amount. The Company continues to evaluate the AJCA provisions. The evaluation is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2005. Accordingly, except for the dividends described above, the Company cannot presently predict what additional distributions, if any, will be made in 2005 or 2006 by the Company’s life insurance subsidiaries.

Note 11 - Business Segments

 

The Company is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the property and casualty insurance, life and health insurance and consumer finance businesses. The Company conducts its operations through six operating segments: Kemper Auto and Home, Unitrin Specialty, Unitrin Direct, Unitrin Business Insurance, Life and Health Insurance and Consumer Finance.

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company combined the personal lines operations of its former Multi Lines Insurance segment into the Kemper Auto and Home segment. In addition, the Company created a separate, stand-alone business operation, referred to as Unitrin Business Insurance, for the commercial lines operations and certain reinsurance programs of the former Multi Lines Insurance segment. Accordingly, segment results for 2004 have been restated to conform to the current management reporting structure.

 

Kemper Auto and Home provides preferred and standard risk personal automobile and homeowners insurance through independent agents.

 

The Unitrin Specialty segment provides automobile insurance to individuals and businesses in the non-standard and specialty markets through independent agents. The non-standard automobile insurance market consists of individuals and companies that have difficulty obtaining standard or preferred risk insurance, usually because of their driving records.

 

Unitrin Direct markets personal automobile insurance through direct mail and the Internet through web insurance portals, click-thrus and its own website. Unitrin Direct, as a direct marketer, typically incurs higher up-front acquisition costs associated with marketing products and acquiring new policies, but incurs lower renewal costs than traditional insurance providers.

 

The Unitrin Business Insurance segment provides commercial automobile, general liability, commercial fire, commercial multi-peril and workers compensation insurance. Its products are designed and priced for those businesses that have demonstrated favorable risk characteristics and loss histories and are sold by independent agents.

 

The Life and Health Insurance segment includes individual life, accident, health and hospitalization insurance. The Company’s Life and Health Insurance employee-agents also market property insurance products under common management.

 

The Consumer Finance segment makes consumer loans primarily for the purchase of pre-owned automobiles and offers certificates of deposits.

 

It is the Company’s management practice to allocate certain corporate expenses to its operating units. The Company considers the management of certain investments, including Northrop common and preferred stock, Baker Hughes common stock and UNOVA common stock, to be a corporate responsibility. Accordingly, the Company does not allocate dividend income from these investments to its operating segments. The Company does not allocate Net Realized Investment Gains to its operating segments.

Note 12 - Related Party Transactions

 

One of Unitrin’s directors, Mr. Fayez Sarofim, is the Chairman of the Board, President and the majority shareholder of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“FS&C”), a registered investment advisory firm. Certain of the Company’s insurance company subsidiaries and FS&C are parties to agreements under which FS&C provides investment management services. In addition, FS&C provides investment management services with respect to certain funds of the Company’s pension plans. The agreements governing these arrangements are terminable by either party at any time upon 30 days advance written notice.

 

Under these investment advisory arrangements, FS&C is entitled to a fee calculated and payable quarterly based upon the fair market value of the assets under management. At March 31, 2005, the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company’s pension plan had approximately $171.8 million and $75.7 million, respectively, in investments managed by FS&C. During the first three months of 2005, the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company’s pension plan paid $0.2 million in the aggregate to FS&C. During the first three months of 2004, the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company’s pension plan paid $0.1 million in the aggregate to FS&C.

 

With respect to the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan, one of the alternative investment choices afforded to participating employees is the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund, an open-end, diversified managed investment fund. FS&C provides investment management services to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund as a sub-investment advisor. According to published reports filed by FS&C with the SEC, the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund pays monthly fees to FS&C according to a graduated schedule computed at an annual rate based on the value of the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund’s average daily net assets. The Company does not compensate FS&C for services provided to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund. As of March 31, 2005, Company employees participating in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan had allocated approximately $27.2 million for investment in the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund, representing approximately 12% of the total amount invested in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan.

Note 12 - Related Party Transactions (continued)

 

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

 

As described in Note 14, the Company also has certain relationships with mutual insurance holding companies and mutual insurance companies. Such companies are owned by the policyholders of such companies or their insurance subsidiaries.

 

Note 13 - Legal Proceedings

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits incidental to their businesses. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these lawsuits and is defending them vigorously. Certain of the lawsuits are pending in jurisdictions that have a history of awarding damages, including punitive damages, that are disproportionate to the actual economic damages alleged to have been incurred. Additionally, some of these lawsuits seek class action status that, if granted, could expose the Company to potentially significant liability by virtue of the size of the purported classes. The Company believes that resolution of its pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, given the unpredictability of litigation, there can be no assurance that one or more of these lawsuits will not produce a damage award which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results for any given period.

 

Note 14 - Relationships with Mutual Holding Companies and Mutual Insurance Companies

 

Trinity Universal Insurance Company (“Trinity”) and Milwaukee Insurance Company (“MIC”) are parties to a quota share reinsurance agreement whereby Trinity assumes 95% of the business written or assumed by MIC. MIC is owned by Mutual Insurers Holding Company (“MIHC”), which in turn is owned by MIC’s policyholders. MIC and First Nonprofit Insurance Company (through its predecessor, First Nonprofit Mutual Insurance Company) (“FNP”) are parties to a quota share reinsurance agreement whereby MIC assumes 80% of the business written or assumed by FNP. Pursuant to such reinsurance agreement, FNP agrees to arrange for its parent company, First Nonprofit Mutual Holding Company (“FNMHC”), to nominate candidates selected by MIC constituting a majority of the FNMHC board of directors. As a result, five employees of the Company selected by MIC serve as directors of FNMHC at March 31, 2005. FNP is owned by FNMHC, which in turn is owned by FNP’s policyholders. Five employees of the Company also serve as directors of MIHC’s nine member board of directors. Two employees of the Company also serve as directors of MIC, but together do not constitute a majority of MIC’s board of directors. The quota share agreements above can be terminated at anytime by any of the parties to the respective agreements, subject to the notice requirements in such agreements.

 

Trinity and Capitol County Mutual Fire Insurance Company (“Capitol”) are parties to a quota share reinsurance agreement whereby Trinity assumes 95% of the business written by Capitol. Capitol is a mutual insurance company and, accordingly, is owned by its policyholders. Five employees of the Company serve as directors of Capitol’s five member board of directors. Nine employees of the Company also serve as directors of Capitol’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Old Reliable Casualty Company’s (“ORCC”) nine member board of directors. The Reliable Life Insurance Company (“Reliable”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unitrin, provides certain administrative services to Capitol and its subsidiary, ORCC. In addition, agents employed by Reliable are also appointed by Capitol and ORCC to sell property insurance products. Union National Life Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unitrin, also provides claims administration services to Capitol and ORCC.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

Summary of Results

 

Net Income was $67.9 million ($0.99 per common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $48.0 million ($0.71 per common share) for the same period in 2004. As discussed throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Net Income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2005, due primarily to improved operating results in the Company’s business segments, partially offset by lower Net Realized Investment Gains.

 

Total Revenues were $747.1 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to $745.3 million for the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $1.8 million.

 

Total Earned Premiums for the first quarter of 2005 were $615.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2004. Earned Premiums increased in the Unitrin Direct segment, mostly offset by decreased Earned Premiums in the Unitrin Specialty segment.

 

Consumer Finance Revenues increased by $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to higher levels of loans outstanding, partially offset by lower portfolio interest rates.

 

Net Investment Income increased by $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to higher levels of investments and higher yields on investments. The Company reduced its short-term investments during 2004 and reinvested those funds in higher yielding fixed maturities with longer durations.

 

Net Realized Investment Gains were $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to $18.5 million for the first quarter of 2004. Net Realized Investment Gains for the first quarter of 2005 includes pre-tax gains of $2.2 million from the sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Baker Hughes, Inc. (“Baker Hughes”) common stock and pre-tax gains of $1.7 million resulting from the sales of a portion of the Company’s investment in Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“Hartford”) common stock. The Company cannot anticipate when or if similar investment gains may occur in the future.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s subsidiaries conduct their businesses in three industries: property and casualty insurance, life and health insurance and consumer finance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the 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 incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”), the valuation of the reserve for loan losses, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill, and the valuation of postretirement benefit obligations. These critical accounting policies are more fully described in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition presented in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Earned Premiums in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased by $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to lower premium volume in personal automobile, partially offset by higher premium volume in commercial automobile. The lower personal automobile premium volume was due primarily to increased competition. The Unitrin Specialty segment is in the process of reducing personal automobile insurance rates in certain states where profitability is above the Company’s target levels to improve its competitive position. Personal automobile premiums also decreased by $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due to Unitrin Specialty’s decision to exit its motorcycle insurance business, which is included in the Unitrin Specialty segment’s personal automobile insurance line. Net Investment Income increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to higher yields on investments and higher levels of investments.

 

Operating Profit in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Operating profit from personal automobile insurance decreased $1.6 million due primarily to the lower premium volume and higher losses and LAE and insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums, partially offset by the higher investment income. Personal automobile insurance losses and LAE increased as a percentage of earned premiums due to higher frequency and severity of losses. Operating profit from commercial automobile insurance increased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to the higher premium volume and higher investment income.

Net Income in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Premiums Written, which represent the total amount of premiums to be received over the policy term, in the Unitrin Direct segment increased by $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due to higher volume of insurance and higher rates. Premiums are recognized as revenues in the Company’s financial statements not when written, but rather as earned over the life of the policy. Earned premiums relate to the elapsed portion of each policy’s term. The difference between Premiums Written and Earned Premiums relating to the remaining portion of each policy’s term is reflected as a deferred revenue liability referred to as Unearned Premiums in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Earned Premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $53.1 million, compared to $42.2 million for the same period in 2004. Net Investment Income in the Unitrin Direct segment increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to higher levels of investments and, to a lesser extent, higher yields on investments.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Unitrin Direct segment reported an Operating Profit of $0.7 million, compared to an Operating Loss of $3.3 million for the same period in 2004. The Unitrin Direct segment’s operating results improved due primarily to lower insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums and lower incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums. Insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums decreased due primarily to improved economies of scale. Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums reflect improved premium rate adequacy. Losses and LAE from catastrophes were not significant in the Unitrin Direct segment for both the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Unitrin Direct segment reported Net Income of $0.9 million compared to a Net Loss of $1.8 million for the same period in 2004. The Unitrin Direct segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income. Tax-exempt investment income was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2004. The first quarter of 2005 is the second consecutive discrete quarter in which the Unitrin Direct segment reported positive Operating Profit and Net Income. The Company anticipates that Unitrin Direct will reach profitability on a full year basis in 2005.

Earned Premiums in the Unitrin Business Insurance segment decreased by $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Commercial automobile insurance and commercial property and liability insurance earned premiums decreased due primarily to lower premium volume, partially offset by higher premium rates. Workers’ compensation insurance earned premiums increased slightly, due primarily to increased exposures based on payroll, partially offset by fewer policies inforce. The Company is unable to predict what impact the formation of the stand-alone Unitrin Business Insurance segment will have on future written and earned premiums. The Unitrin Business Insurance segment’s commercial reinsurance program consists of certain business written and administered by First Nonprofit Insurance Company (“FNP”). FNP specializes in providing various forms of commercial insurance to charitable and other non-profit organizations. See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about this reinsurance arrangement. Earned Premiums for the commercial reinsurance program decreased due primarily to lower volume. Net Investment Income in the Unitrin Business Insurance segment increased by $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due to higher yields on investments and, and to a lesser extent, higher levels of investments.

 

Operating Profit in the Unitrin Business Insurance segment increased by $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to lower incurred losses and LAE and the higher net investment income, partially offset by higher insurance expenses partially due to certain restructuring costs. Incurred losses and LAE decreased due to improved underwriting and the favorable effects of reserve development. Reserve development was $4.2 million favorable for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $3.2 million favorable for the same period in 2004. Catastrophe losses and LAE were $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2004. Restructuring costs recognized in the Unitrin Business Insurance segment were $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Earned Premiums in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Earned Premiums on life insurance and property insurance sold by the Life and Health Insurance segment’s career agents increased by $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, due almost entirely to increased volume. Earned Premiums on accident and health insurance decreased by $0.6 million. Lower volume of accident and health insurance, primarily on limited benefit medical and Medicare supplement products, contributed approximately $1.9 million to the decrease in accident and health insurance earned premiums, while higher accident and health insurance premium rates on those same products accounted for an increase of approximately $1.3 million. Net Investment Income in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to higher levels of investments and higher yields on investments.

 

Operating Profit in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to the higher net investment income and lower life insurance policyholders’ benefits, partially offset by higher insurance expenses. Life insurance policyholders’ benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2004 included a charge of $5.4 million due to a change in the actuarial estimate of reserves resulting from the conversion of certain business to a new computer system. Excluding the impact of this change in actuarial estimate, life insurance policyholder benefits also decreased due primarily to lower mortality. Insurance expenses increased by $1.5 million, due primarily to higher legal expenses, partially offset by lower salaries and fringe benefits. Legal expenses increased by $2.2 million due primarily to the effects of changes in the Company’s estimates of the cost to resolve legal matters. Salaries and fringe benefits decreased by $1.2 million, partially the result of the Company’s efforts to consolidate back office operations. Catastrophe losses and LAE (including development) on property insurance sold by the Life and Health Insurance segment’s career agents were approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to approximately $0.3 million for the same period in 2004. Catastrophe losses and LAE for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included $0.5 million of adverse development from Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. Net Income in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to the higher operating profit.

Provision for Loan Losses decreased by $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to a change in the Company’s estimate of the rate of ultimate loan losses as a result of higher recoveries and lower charge-offs for loans originated in previous years. Interest Expense on Certificates of Deposits and Savings Accounts increased by $0.4 million due to higher interest rates on Certificates of Deposits and higher levels of deposits. General and Administrative Expenses, as a percentage of Interest, Loan Fees and Earned Discounts, increased from 39.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, to 41.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, due primarily to an increase in the size of the collection department and higher collection incentive pay, which resulted in increased recoveries and lower charge-off.

 

Net Income in the Consumer Finance segment increased by $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to the higher Operating Profit.

 

Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Investee

 

Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Investee was income of $2.6 million and a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Unitrin accounts for its investment in its investee, UNOVA, Inc. (“UNOVA”), under the equity method of accounting using the most recent and sufficiently timely publicly-available financial reports and other publicly-available information, which generally results in a three month delay in the inclusion of UNOVA’s results in Unitrin’s consolidated financial statements. Prior to the periods presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Unitrin determined that a decline in the fair value of its investment in UNOVA was other than temporary under applicable accounting standards. Accordingly, Unitrin reduced the carrying value of its investment in UNOVA to its then current estimated realizable value and allocated the reduction to Unitrin’s proportionate share of UNOVA’s non-current assets. Accordingly, Unitrin’s reported equity in the net income of UNOVA differs from Unitrin’s proportionate share of UNOVA’s reported results to the extent that such results include depreciation, amortization or other charges related to such non-current assets. Unitrin estimates that UNOVA has now subsequently fully recognized in its financial statements the amortization, depreciation or write-downs of such non-current assets. Accordingly, Unitrin expects that its net income from investee, UNOVA, will equal its proportionate share of UNOVA’s results on a going forward basis.

 

The fair value of Unitrin’s investment in UNOVA exceeded the carrying value of Unitrin’s investment in UNOVA by $182.2 million and $248.2 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, such excess is not included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Corporate Investments

 

The Company considers the management of certain investments, including Northrop Grumman Corporation (“Northrop”) common and preferred stock, Baker Hughes common stock, and UNOVA common stock to be a corporate responsibility. Accordingly, the Company does not allocate dividend income from these investments to its operating segments. Dividend income from these investments for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was:

Net Realized Investment Gains (continued)

 

The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in the fair value of an investment is other than temporary. Some factors considered in evaluating whether or not a decline in fair value is other than temporary include: 1) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value; 2) the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; and 3) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer. Net Realized Investment Gains for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 includes pre-tax losses of $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, resulting from other than temporary declines in the fair value of investments. The Company cannot anticipate when or if similar investment losses may occur in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2005, there were approximately 3.5 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock that could be repurchased under the Company’s Board of Directors’ outstanding repurchase authorization. Common stock can be repurchased in open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors. The Company has not repurchase shares of its common stock in 2005.

 

On August 30, 2002, the Company entered into a $360 million unsecured revolving credit agreement, expiring August 30, 2005, with a group of banks. Proceeds from advances under the agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of the Company’s common stock. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit agreement at March 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. The Company plans to replace the agreement with a new unsecured revolving credit agreement during the second quarter of 2005.

 

At March 31, 2005, the Company had $300 million of its 5.75% senior notes due July 1, 2007 outstanding and $200 million of its 4.875% senior notes due November 1, 2010 outstanding. Interest expense for such senior notes was $7.0 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

The Company does not anticipate significant additional changes in its capital structure during 2005.

 

At December 31, 2004, the Unitrin parent company held 916,751 shares of Northrop common stock and also held 1,774,812 shares of Northrop preferred stock. In addition, Unitrin’s subsidiary, Trinity Universal Insurance Company (“Trinity”), also held 6,998,549 shares of Northrop common stock at December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, Trinity paid a dividend to the Unitrin parent company, which included 465,722 shares of Northrop common stock with a market value of approximately $25 million. Following this transaction, the Unitrin parent company held 1,382,473 shares of Northrop common stock with a market value of $74.6 million at March 31, 2005 and also held 1,774,812 shares of Northrop preferred stock with a market value of $230.7 million at March 31, 2005. Trinity held 6,532,827 shares of Northrop common stock with a market value of $352.7 million at March 31, 2005. Also during the first quarter of 2005, two other subsidiaries of Unitrin (United Insurance Company of America and Fireside Securities Corporation) paid $15.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in cash dividends to Unitrin.

 

The primary sources of funds for the Company’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums and investment income. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts and claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses and the purchase of investments. Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid. Accordingly, during periods of growth, 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 flow 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 either result in investment gains or losses. Management believes that its insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus capacity to manage the risks inherent with any differences between the duration of their liabilities and invested assets and to provide adequate liquidity in the event that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries experience several catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

 

The primary sources of funds for Fireside Bank are customer deposits, repayments of consumer loans, interest on consumer loans and investment income. The primary uses of funds for Fireside Bank are loans made to consumers, repayment of customer deposits, interest paid to depositors and general expenses.

 

Cash Flow from Operating Activities decreased by $50.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to the timing of the payment of income taxes and other accrued liabilities.

 

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities is largely dependent on Cash Flow from Operating Activities and to a lesser extent cash flow, if any, from Financing Activities. Cash Flow Used by Investing Activities decreased by $37.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to lower levels of cash from Financing Activities.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities decreased by $49.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to lower levels of cash from securities lending, partially offset by higher levels of certificates of deposits to support growth in the Company’s Consumer Finance segment. As further discussed in Note 5 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from time to time some of Unitrin’s subsidiaries may hold collateral from unrelated parties pursuant to securities lending agreements whereby unrelated parties borrow securities from the subsidiaries’ accounts. The subsidiaries are required to return such collateral upon return of the loaned security. Accordingly, the amount of such collateral would not be available to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants, nor to fund ordinary operating expenses.

 

In 2004, the Company committed to invest $100 million in a limited liability investment company, of which $65 million was unfunded at March 31, 2005. In addition, in January 2005, the Company agreed to purchase certain investment real estate for approximately $57 million including the assumption of a $12 million mortgage. In January 2005, the Company also agreed to sell other investment real estate, the proceeds of which will likely be used to fund the obligation described in the preceding sentence. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately $39 million before tax in the second quarter of 2005 as a result of such sale.

 

The Company’s management believes that it has sufficient resources to maintain the payment of dividends to its shareholders at the present level. Sources for future shareholder dividend payments and the payment of interest on Unitrin’s senior notes include the receipt of dividends from Unitrin’s operating subsidiaries, the receipt of dividends from its investments in Northrop, borrowings under the revolving credit agreement, and monetization of a portion of the Unitrin parent company’s Northrop holdings.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company is required to provide the following disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Quantitative Information About Market Risk

 

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include five types of financial instruments subject to material market risk disclosures required by the SEC: 1) Investments in Fixed Maturities, 2) Investments in Equity Securities, 3) Consumer Finance Receivables, 4) Certificates of Deposits and 5) Notes Payable. Investments in Fixed Maturities, Consumer Finance Receivables, Certificates of Deposits and Notes Payable 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.

 

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 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.

Quantitative Information About Market Risk (continued)

 

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 reflect the Company’s view of adverse changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period. The selection of these changes should not be construed as the Company’s prediction of future market events, but rather an illustration of the impact of such 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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 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 and Consumer Finance Receivables, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. All other variables were held constant. For Certificates of Deposits and Notes Payable, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous decrease of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. All other variables were held constant. The Company measured equity price sensitivity assuming an adverse and instantaneous 10% decrease in the Standard and Poor’s Stock Index (the “S&P 500”) from its levels at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, with all other variables held constant. The Company’s investments in common stock equity securities were correlated with the S&P 500 using the portfolio’s weighted-average beta of 0.37 and 0.45 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The portfolio’s weighted-average beta was calculated using each security’s beta for the five-year periods ended March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and weighted on the fair value of such securities at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 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 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 reflected uniformly 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 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 duration. The interest rate risks with respect to the fair value of Consumer Finance Receivables should be partially offset by the impact of interest rate movements on Investment Certificates of Deposits which are issued to fund its receivables.

 

At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, $658.0 million and $664.6 million of the Company’s Investments in Equity Securities, which exclude the Company’s Investment in Investee, was concentrated in the preferred and common stock of Northrop. Northrop stated in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K that it “provides technologically advanced innovative products, services, and solutions in defense and commercial electronics, nuclear and non-nuclear shipbuilding, information technology, mission systems, systems integration, and space technology.” Additionally, Northrop stated that it “is subject to the usual vagaries of the market-place, it is also affected by the unique characteristics of the defense industry and by certain elements peculiar to its own business mix.” Accordingly, the Company’s Investments in Equity Securities is sensitive to the nature of Northrop’s industry segments.
