Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Horace Mann Educators Corporation (“HMEC”; and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Horace Mann”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), specifically Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP but are not required for interim reporting purposes have been omitted. The Company believes that these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2016, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (2) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The subsidiaries of HMEC market and underwrite personal lines of property and casualty (primarily personal lines automobile and homeowners) insurance, retirement annuities (primarily tax-qualified products) and life insurance, primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families. HMEC’s principal operating subsidiaries are Horace Mann Life Insurance Company, Horace Mann Insurance Company, Teachers Insurance Company, Horace Mann Property & Casualty Insurance Company and Horace Mann Lloyds. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform with the 2016 presentation. See “Adopted Accounting Standards”.

For the Company, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes the after tax change in net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities and equity securities and the after tax change in net funded status of pension obligations for the period as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

(2) The pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $1,545 and $9,165, are included in net realized investment gains and losses and the related tax expenses, $541 and $3,208, are included in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Comparative information for elements that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period is located in “Note 2 -- Investments -- Unrealized Gains and Losses on Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities”. Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance which was issued to simplify the presentation of costs incurred to issue debt securities. The guidance requires debt issuance costs associated with specific debt securities to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Costs incurred related to line of credit arrangements continue to be presented as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet. Also, the guidance does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The guidance required retrospective application. As a result of this adoption, the following items in the Company’s December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet were each reduced by $2,371: Other Assets, Total Assets, Long-term Debt, Total Liabilities and Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity. Net income per share (basic and diluted) did not change as a result of the adopted accounting change. |

The following table presents the fair value and gross unrealized losses of fixed maturities and equity securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company views the decrease in value of all of the securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2016 -- which was driven largely by changes in interest rates, spread widening, financial market illiquidity and/or market volatility from the date of acquisition -- as temporary. For fixed maturity securities, management does not have the intent to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost bases, and management expects to recover the entire amortized cost bases of the fixed maturity securities. 12 Months or Less More than 12 Months Total Gross Gross Gross Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses September 30, 2016 Fixed maturity securities U.S. Government and federally sponsored agency obligations: Mortgage-backed securities $ 9,701 $ 60 $ 3,564 $ 207 $ 13,265 $ 267 Other 27,728 272 - - 27,728 272 Municipal bonds 53,583 879 16,768 3,891 70,351 4,770 Foreign government bonds - - - - - - Corporate bonds 114,009 1,514 63,800 5,244 177,809 6,758 Other mortgage-backed securities 266,884 5,447 207,444 4,196 474,328 9,643 Total fixed maturity securities 471,905 8,172 291,576 13,538 763,481 21,710 Equity securities (1) 15,494 885 8,603 636 24,097 1,521 Combined totals $ 487,399 $ 9,057 $ 300,179 $ 14,174 $ 787,578 $ 23,231 Number of positions with a gross unrealized loss 201 107 308 Fair value as a percentage of total fixed maturities and equity securities fair value 6.4 % 3.9 % 10.3 % December 31, 2015 Fixed maturity securities U.S. Government and federally sponsored agency obligations: Mortgage-backed securities $ 48,097 $ 1,748 $ 1,595 $ 113 $ 49,692 $ 1,861 Other 248,478 7,338 1,921 77 250,399 7,415 Municipal bonds 168,939 5,382 21,717 4,958 190,656 10,340 Foreign government bonds 11,867 112 - - 11,867 112 Corporate bonds 858,647 37,244 50,340 11,590 908,987 48,834 Other mortgage-backed securities 929,268 19,165 140,561 1,796 1,069,829 20,961 Total fixed maturity securities 2,265,296 70,989 216,134 18,534 2,481,430 89,523 Equity securities (1) 38,764 3,022 8,379 1,308 47,143 4,330 Combined totals $ 2,304,060 $ 74,011 $ 224,513 $ 19,842 $ 2,528,573 $ 93,853 Number of positions with a gross unrealized loss 684 78 762 Fair value as a percentage of total fixed maturities and equity securities fair value 32.0 % 3.1 % 35.1 % (1) Includes nonredeemable (perpetual) preferred stocks, common stocks and closed-end funds .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company is required under GAAP to disclose estimated fair values for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair values of the Company’s insurance contracts other than annuity contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the estimated fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts. Information regarding the three-level hierarchy presented below and the valuation methodologies utilized by the Company to estimate fair values at a point in time is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, specifically in “Note 3 -- Fair Value of Financial Instruments”.

(2) Transfers into and out of Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were attributable to changes in the availability of observable market information for individual fixed maturity securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels as having occurred at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers were determined. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no realized gains or losses included in earnings that were attributable to changes in the fair value of Level 3 assets still held. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, realized gains/(losses) of ($68) and ($2,066), respectively, were included in earnings that were attributable to the changes in the fair value of Level 3 liabilities (embedded derivatives) still held; for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the respective amounts were $1,328 and $1,795. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for financial assets classified as Level 3 are subject to the control processes as described in “Note 3 -- Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- Investments” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Generally, valuation techniques for fixed maturity securities include spread pricing, matrix pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies; include inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid; and are based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified as Level 2. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for equity securities classified as Level 3 use similar valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as those used for fixed maturities. The sensitivity of the estimated fair values to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for fixed maturities and equity securities included in Level 3 generally relates to interest rate spreads, illiquidity premiums and default rates. Significant spread widening in isolation will adversely impact the overall valuation, while significant spread tightening will lead to substantial valuation increases. Significant increases (decreases) in illiquidity premiums in isolation will result in substantially lower (higher) valuations. Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation will result in substantially lower (higher) valuations. Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value; Disclosure Required The Company has various other financial assets and financial liabilities used in the normal course of business that are not carried at fair value, but for which fair value disclosure is required.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | In February 2014, the Company began offering fixed indexed annuity products (“FIA”), which are deferred fixed annuities that guarantee the return of principal to the contractholder and credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specified market index. In October 2015, the Company began offering indexed universal life products (“IUL”), which also credit interest based on a percentage of the gain in a specified market index. When deposits are received for FIA and IUL contracts, a portion is used to purchase derivatives consisting of call options on the applicable market indices to fund the index credits due to FIA and IUL policyholders. For the Company, substantially all such call options are one-year options purchased to match the funding requirements of the underlying contracts. The call options are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses), a component of revenues, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value of derivatives includes the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term or early termination and the changes in fair value for open positions. Call options are not purchased to fund the index liabilities which may arise after the next deposit anniversary date. On the respective anniversary dates of the indexed deposits, the index used to compute the annual index credit is reset and new one-year call options are purchased to fund the next annual index credit. The cost of these purchases is managed through the terms of the FIA and IUL contracts, which permit changes to index return caps, participation rates and/or asset fees, subject to guaranteed minimums on each contract’s anniversary date. By adjusting the index return caps, participation rates or asset fees, crediting rates generally can be managed except in cases where the contractual features would prevent further modifications. The future annual index credits on fixed indexed annuities are treated as a “series of embedded derivatives” over the expected life of the applicable contract with a corresponding reserve recorded. For the indexed universal life contracts, the embedded derivative represents a single year liability for the index return. The Company carries all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The Company elected to not use hedge accounting for derivative transactions related to the FIA and IUL products. As a result, the Company records the purchased call options and the embedded derivatives related to the provision of a contingent return at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s strategy attempts to mitigate potential risk of loss under these agreements through a regular monitoring process, which evaluates the program’s effectiveness. The Company is exposed to risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties and, accordingly, option contracts are purchased from multiple counterparties, which are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to purchase of the contracts. All of these options have been purchased from nationally recognized financial institutions with a Standard and Poor’s/Moody’s long-term credit rating of “BBB+”/“Baa1” or higher at the time of purchase and the maximum credit exposure to any single counterparty is subject to concentration limits. The Company also obtains credit support agreements that allow it to request the counterparty to provide collateral when the fair value of the exposure to the counterparty exceeds specified amounts.

This derivative collateral limits the Company’s maximum amount of economic loss due to credit risk that would be incurred if parties to the call options failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts to $250 per counterparty. |

Segment Information | Note 8 - Segment Information The Company conducts and manages its business through four segments. The three operating segments, representing the major lines of insurance business, are: (1) property and casualty insurance, primarily personal lines automobile and homeowners products; (2) retirement annuity products, primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable deposits; and (3) life insurance. The Company does not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to the insurance segments, consistent with the basis for management’s evaluation of the results of those segments, but classifies those items in the fourth segment, corporate and other. In addition to ongoing transactions such as corporate debt service, realized investment gains and losses and certain public company expenses, such items also have included corporate debt retirement costs/gains, when applicable.

Adopted Accounting Standards | Adopted Accounting Standards Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance which was issued to simplify the presentation of costs incurred to issue debt securities. The guidance requires debt issuance costs associated with specific debt securities to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Costs incurred related to line of credit arrangements continue to be presented as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet. Also, the guidance does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The guidance required retrospective application. As a result of this adoption, the following items in the Company’s December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet were each reduced by $2,371: Other Assets, Total Assets, Long-term Debt, Total Liabilities and Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity. Net income per share (basic and diluted) did not change as a result of the adopted accounting change. |
