Kemper Corporation
Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company believes that investors’ understanding of Kemper’s performance is enhanced by the disclosure of the following non-GAAP financial measures. The methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Book Value Per Share Excluding Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company uses the trend in book value per share, excluding the impact of unrealized net capital gains and losses on fixed income securities in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management. The Company believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. 
Book Value Per Share Excluding Goodwill is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the recorded Goodwill asset. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Book Value Per Share, Excluding Goodwill, also referred to as Tangible Book Value Per Share, is a common measure used by analysts and investors to compare similar companies.

Combined Property and Casualty Operations is a non‐GAAP measure, which is comprised of the Preferred, Specialty and Direct segments.
Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations the after-tax impact of 1) Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Sales of Investments, 2) Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings related to investments and 3) other significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations. Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income from continuing operations.
The Company believes that Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Sales of Investments and Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings related to investments included in 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. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company's business or economic trends.
A reconciliation of Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) to Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations is presented below:

Consolidated Net Operating Income (Loss) Per Unrestricted Share is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is computed by dividing Consolidated Net Operating Income by the weighted average unrestricted shares outstanding.

Underlying Combined Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Incurred Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the combined ratio. The Company believes the underlying combined ratio is useful to investors and is used by management to reveal the trends in the Company's Property and Casualty insurance businesses that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. These catastrophe losses cause loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on 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 our 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. 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.
