This presentation may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based on forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements
give expectations or forecasts of future events. These statements can be indentified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or

financial performance or financial condition. 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.
These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. 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

Delivering Shareholder Value



Non-GAAP Measures
Underlying Combined Ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which is computed as the difference between the GAAP
combined ratio, the effect of catastrophes (excluding development of prior year catastrophes) on the
combined ratio and the effect of prior year reserve development (including development on prior year
catastrophes) on the combined ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio.
We believe the underlying combined ratio is useful to investors and is used by management to reveal the
trends in our Property and Casualty business that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year
reserve development. These catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between
periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on
the combined ratio. Prior year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on
historical reserves. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in
the aggregate when reviewing our underwriting performance. The underlying combined ratio should not
be considered a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting
profitability of our business.
The P&C and Life Net Income excluding Catastrophe Losses / and a Goodwill Write-off is a
non-GAAP measure, which is computed as reported Segment Net Income (Loss) from Kemper,
Unitrin Specialty, Unitrin Direct and Life and Health Insurance,
excluding Catastrophe Losses and
a 2010 Reserve National Goodwill write-off. A detailed reconciliation is on the following slide. The
most directly comparable GAAP measure is the Total Segment Net Income. We believe the P&C
and Life net income excluding catastrophe losses / and a Goodwill write-off is useful to investors
and is used by management to reveal the trends in business.
