“Horace Mann’s fourth quarter operating income was $0.79 per diluted share, led by strong property and casualty results, as well as solid earnings in our annuity and life segments. For the full year, operating income was $2.32 per diluted share -- a company record -- reflecting strong performance across all three segments of our multiline insurance platform,” stated Horace Mann’s President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “Compared to full year 2012, property and casualty earned premiums increased 3% and the combined ratio of 96.3% improved 2 points, leading to improvement in the underlying underwriting margin. In our annuity segment, assets under management increased 13% over prior year, and the interest spread finished the year better than expected, at 2%. For the life segment, earnings exceeded our expectations as a result of lower mortality losses. While somewhat moderated in the fourth quarter, overall full year sales of Horace Mann products increased compared to 2012.”

“We are projecting full-year 2014 operating income of between $2.05 and $2.25 per diluted share,” said Zuraitis. “This estimate anticipates continued improvement in our underlying property and casualty combined ratio. While we expect continued favorable prior years’ reserve development, we anticipate it will be lower in 2014 than what we experienced in 2013. In addition, we expect a return to more normal levels of annuity deferred policy acquisition cost unlocking and life mortality.”

 

Property and Casualty Segment

 

The property and casualty segment recorded net income of $19.0 million for the current quarter compared to $14.5 million for the same period in 2012. The total property and casualty combined ratio of 87.4% was 5.0 percentage points lower than the fourth quarter of 2012. The underlying property and casualty combined ratio of 91.0% decreased 3.5 percentage points compared to the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting improvements in current accident year auto and property loss ratios. Pretax catastrophe losses in the current quarter of $2.9 million, or 2.1 points, were comparable to a year ago. Favorable prior years' reserve development of $8.1 million, or 5.7 points, was recorded in the fourth quarter, compared to $5.7 million, or 4.1 points, of favorable development recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

For the year, property and casualty net income of $44.4 million increased 20% compared to 2012, primarily due to a 2.7 point improvement in the loss ratio. The full year combined ratio and underlying combined ratio of 96.3% and 92.4%, respectively, improved 2.0 percentage points and 1.1 percentage points compared to 2012. This combined ratio improvement reflected a decrease in the underlying loss ratio, partially offset by an anticipated, modest increase in the expense ratio.

 

Total property and casualty written premiums of $141.8 million and $570.4 million increased 3% and 4% compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, driven by increases in average premium per policy for both auto and property.

 

Horace Mann’s property and casualty sales decreased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and increased 5% compared to full year 2012. Both auto and property new business increased for the full year. Policy retention continues to be strong with the auto policy retention rate for the current period at 85% and the property policy retention rate at 89%, both comparable to a year ago.

 

Annuity Segment

 

Annuity segment net income of $12.8 million and $44.7 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, respectively, increased $1.7 million and $4.2 million compared to the same periods in 2012. The full year net interest spread of 199 basis points on fixed annuity assets was slightly better than the first nine months of 2013, but decreased 12 basis points compared to the prior year. This full year net interest spread compression was more than offset by the increase in fixed annuity assets under management, with the resulting net interest margin increasing 3% compared to 2012. The deferred policy acquisition costs unlocking in the current quarter had a $1.8 million pretax positive impact on annuity segment earnings compared to a $2.5 million pretax positive impact in the prior year. For the full years 2013 and 2012, unlocking had positive impacts of $3.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Total annuity accumulated account value of $5.4 billion increased 13% compared to December 31, 2012, and total cash value persistency remained consistent with the prior period at 94.9%.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, annuity deposits of $106.2 million and $423.0 million decreased 7% and increased 1%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to variances in the amounts of single premium and rollover deposits received in the current periods. For both the quarter and full year, recurring deposit receipts exceeded the prior year amounts.

 

Annuity sales by Horace Mann’s agency force increased 7% compared to full year 2012, but did decline 6% in the fourth quarter. Annuity sales from the supplemental independent agent distribution channel declined 45% and 32% compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. As a result, Horace Mann’s total annuity sales for the current quarter and year decreased 15% and 1%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

 

Life Segment

 

Life segment net income of $4.7 million and $20.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year decreased $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. In 2013, mortality losses were more normalized for the fourth quarter, yet continued to be favorable compared to expected results for the full year.

 

Compared to the prior year periods, life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits of $27.4 million for the fourth quarter decreased 1%, but increased 2% to $100.8 million on a full year basis. Life persistency of 96% was comparable to 12 months earlier.

 

Full year Horace Mann life sales increased 33% compared to the prior year, including fourth quarter sales that were comparable to the prior year. The full year new business growth is consistent with the company’s strategic intent to significantly increase its underwritten, mortality-based business.

 

Investment Results

 

Total net investment income increased 4% and 2% compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Pretax net realized investment gains were $1.3 million and $22.2 million in the current quarter and full year, respectively.

 

Horace Mann’s net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity and equity securities of $232.5 million at December 31, 2013 decreased 17% compared to the $281.3 million net unrealized gain at September 30, 2013, primarily due to the increase in interest rates during the current quarter. Net unrealized gains were $651.9 million at December 31, 2012.

Horace Mann’s senior management will discuss the company’s fourth quarter financial results with investors and analysts on February 5, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference call will be webcast live on the Internet at investors.horacemann.com and archived later in the day for replay.
