HORACE MANN REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THIRD QUARTER
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., November 2, 2005 — Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today reported net income of $1.0 million (2 cents per share) and $61.2 million ($1.32 per share), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $12.6 million (30 cents per share) and net income of $28.0 million (63 cents per share) for the same periods in 2004. Included in net income were net realized gains on securities of $0.1 million ($0.1 million after tax, or less than 1 cent per share) and $9.1 million ($6.0 million after tax, or 12 cents per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, compared to net realized gains on securities of $4.8 million ($3.1 million after tax, or 7 cents per share) and $9.3 million ($6.0 million after tax, or 12 cents per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. All per-share amounts are stated on a diluted basis.
“Compared to earnings for the first two quarters of 2005, Horace Mann’s current period earnings reflected the significant effect of catastrophe costs for the company — $28.9 million after tax for the quarter. Looking beyond the catastrophe costs, the company produced strong earnings again in the third quarter, primarily driven by continued strength in property and casualty non-catastrophe profit margins,” said Louis G. Lower II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our underlying auto and homeowners results continued to benefit from aggressive underwriting and pricing actions taken in recent years, ongoing improvements in claims processes, cost containment initiatives, and a continuing low level of non-catastrophe claim frequencies. Property and casualty earnings for the quarter also reflected $6.2 million pretax from favorable development of prior years’ claim reserves,” Lower added.
The company’s federal income tax expense for the third quarter was reduced by $6.4 million as a result of closing tax years 1998 through 2001 with favorable resolution of the contingent tax liabilities related to those four years. In the second quarter of 2005, resolution of tax years 1996 and 1997 reduced federal income tax expense by $2.7 million, and interest on the tax refund amounts of $1.4 million was received and recorded as pretax income. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 also reflected the impact of updating the estimated effective rate for the year. While the effect of this change in estimate was minimal in total, income tax expense increased approximately $1 million for the life segment and decreased approximately $1 million for the property and casualty segment in the current period.

“As previously indicated, our estimate of full year 2005 net income before realized investment gains and losses is between $1.70 and $1.80 per share,” said Lower. “This projection incorporates the significant level of catastrophe costs experienced this quarter and reflects an average level of catastrophe costs and continued favorable property and casualty underwriting trends in the fourth quarter.”
Segment Earnings
Net income for the property and casualty segment improved $13.3 million for the quarter and $26.9 million for the nine months compared to the prior year periods primarily as a result of the lower level of catastrophe costs in 2005 and the other factors cited above. The $44.4 million pretax of catastrophe costs incurred in the third quarter of 2005 were attributed primarily to: Hurricane Katrina $22 million, Hurricane Rita $10 million, Minnesota storms $5 million and Hurricane Dennis $5 million. In the third quarter of 2004, catastrophe costs of $59.5 million pretax were due primarily to Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne.
Net income for the annuity segment of $6.4 million for the third quarter was $3.9 million greater than prior year, as decreased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force, lower mortality and benefit costs and increased contract charges and fees were augmented by a portion of the contingent income tax liability reduction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, annuity segment net income increased $2.8 million primarily as a result of the contingent income tax liability reduction which more than offset the effect of valuations of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force. Annuity segment earnings for the current periods also reflected declines in the interest margin. Life segment net income decreased $2.8 million for the quarter compared to prior year, due primarily to the increase in income tax expense, as well as higher operating expenses and a decline in group insurance earnings. For the nine months, life segment net income decreased $1.0 million primarily as a result of the increase in income tax expense.
In the third quarter, operating expenses were higher than in 2004, primarily reflecting timing differences between periods. However, operating expenses remained below prior year through nine months, consistent with the company’s expectations.
Segment Revenues
The company’s premiums written and contract deposits decreased 3 percent and 4 percent compared to the quarter and nine months of the prior year, respectively, with the effect of property and casualty reinsurance reinstatement premiums representing 2 percentage points of the decline for the third quarter and nearly 1 percentage point year-to-date. For property and casualty, premiums written declined as increases in average automobile and homeowners premium per policy — which were moderated to some extent by the improvement in quality in the books of business — were more than offset by the decline in policies in force and the higher level of reinsurance reinstatement premiums. In the third quarter, the growth in new scheduled annuity deposits exceeded the reduction in single premium and rollover deposit receipts. However, the year-to-date decrease in annuity new contract deposits was due primarily to a reduction in single premium and rollover deposit receipts, partially offset by growth in new scheduled

annuity deposits compared to the prior year. Year-to-date deposits to fixed accounts decreased 7 percent in the current low interest rate environment, while variable annuity deposits increased 3 percent compared to the prior year. Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits were somewhat lower than in the first nine months of 2004, primarily reflecting the shift in sales mix toward partner products.
Sales and Distribution
Compared to record levels of annuity sales in the prior year, total new annuity sales decreased 5 percent in the first nine months of 2005. This decline was narrowed during the third quarter as the level of annuity new business from independent agents increased following a transition period to implement the company’s desired shift in mix of business from this channel. Total career agent sales decreased in the current period compared to the first nine months of 2004 in all product lines due to a modest decline in average productivity per agent in 2005.
Horace Mann’s career agency force totaled 849 agents at September 30, 2005. “The number of experienced agents increased in each of the last six quarters and the total number of agents increased during each of the three quarters in 2005 compared to the end of 2004,” Lower said. “We anticipate continued, although more modest, growth in the fourth quarter of this year.”

| (A) | Effective December 31, 2004, the Company adopted EITF Consensus 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share”. The Company’s Senior Convertible Notes represent 4.3 million equivalent shares and have annual interest expense of $2.7 million after tax. Diluted per share information for all periods is presented on a basis consistent with this consensus. |
| (B) | As prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles, the quarter earnings per share amounts were computed discretely and the antidilutive effects of potential common shares outstanding were excluded from weighted average shares and equivalent shares—diluted for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004. Accordingly, the sum of the per share amounts for the three quarters does not equal the year-to-date per share amount. |
| (C) | As a result of catastrophes in the third quarter of both 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred $8.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of additional ceded premiums to reinstate its property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance coverage. Excluding these reinstatement premiums from both years, the percentage changes were -0.7% and -2.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. |
| (D) | Based on trailing 12-month net income and average quarter-end shareholders’ equity. |
| (E) | Before the market value adjustment for investments, book value per share was $12.56 at September 30, 2005 and $10.83 at September 30, 2004. Ending shares outstanding were 42,961,628 at September 30, 2005, 42,846,643 at December 31, 2004 and 42,794,753 at September 30, 2004. |
