HORACE MANN REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THIRD QUARTER
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., November 1, 2006 — Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today reported net income of $19.4 million (43 cents per share) and $70.1 million ($1.55 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to net income of $1.0 million (2 cents per share) and $61.2 million ($1.32 per share) for the same periods in 2005. Included in net income were net realized gains on securities of $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax, or 1 cent per share) and $5.3 million ($3.4 million after tax, or 8 cents per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to net realized gains 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 respective periods in 2005. All per-share amounts are stated on a diluted basis.
“Third quarter earnings exceeded our expectations in spite of experiencing higher than anticipated non-hurricane catastrophe losses, which adversely impacted the quarter by 10 cents per share,” said Louis G. Lower II, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Based on results for the first nine months of the year and our anticipation of continued favorable property and casualty loss trends, we are increasing our estimate of full year 2006 net income before realized investment gains and losses by 10 cents to between $1.90 and $2.05 per share.”
“Pretax income for the quarter exceeded prior year in all operating segments, and our growth initiatives continued to gain traction as well,” continued Lower. “While property and casualty written premium growth remains under pressure due to increased reinsurance costs and a decline in average written premium per policy, our auto line delivered sales increases of 7 percent in new autos insured, compared to last year’s third quarter. We continue to be encouraged by this leading indicator of growth, which included a 22 percent increase in sales units for new Horace Mann auto policyholders. This sales growth, along with continued improvements in retention, resulted in another sequential increase in total auto policies in force, driven primarily by growth in educator policies. At the same time, increased sales levels were also achieved in both annuity and life during the quarter.”

The company’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 reflected a reduction in federal income tax of $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. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 also reflected two related items recorded in the second quarter of 2005: a reduction in federal income tax expense of $2.7 million related to the resolution of tax years 1996 and 1997 and interest on income tax refunds of $1.4 million pretax, which was reflected as a reduction to operating expenses. No similar reductions to federal income tax expense were recorded in 2006.
Segment Earnings
Net income for the property and casualty segment increased $22.5 million ($34.1 million pretax) for the quarter and $19.4 million ($30.1 million pretax) for the nine months, compared to the same periods in 2005. Pretax catastrophe costs of $7.2 million incurred in the third quarter of 2006, due largely to hail and tornado damage in Minnesota, were $37.2 million less than the prior year, which included Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other catastrophic storms. Favorable development of prior years’ reserves totaling $5.1 million was recorded in the current quarter, all of which was due to non-catastrophe reserves. Favorable reserve development of $6.2 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2005. Additional reinsurance costs, associated with the company’s enhanced property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance program, represented pretax decreases in both income and premiums of approximately $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Annuity segment net income decreased $3.0 million compared to last year’s third quarter and $2.0 million compared to the first nine months of 2005, with both comparisons reflecting the benefit in 2005 of the favorable resolution of contingent tax liabilities and interest received on tax refunds. Pretax income in this segment exceeded prior year for both the third quarter and nine months, with the year-to-date comparison including a reduced level of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of acquired insurance in force in the current period. Life segment net income increased $2.0 million and $0.9 million compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2005, respectively. Higher investment income was partially offset by increased mortality in the quarter.
Segment Revenues
The company’s premiums written and contract deposits increased 1 percent for the quarter and decreased 1 percent for the nine months compared to the prior year. The additional costs associated with the company’s enhanced property and casualty reinsurance program represented an $8.7 million decrease to current year-to-date premiums, while the first nine months of 2005 reflected a decrease of $8.9 million due to additional ceded premiums to reinstate its property and casualty reinsurance coverage following third quarter hurricane catastrophe recoveries. For property and casualty, year-to-date premiums written declined 1 percent, or $5.5 million, reflecting a slight decline in policies in force and a decrease in average auto premium per policy — primarily due to the continued improvement in the quality of this book of business.

Annuity new contract deposits increased slightly compared to the first nine months of 2005 due to growth in new scheduled annuity deposit receipts as well as single premium and rollover deposits. For the quarter, variable annuity deposits and deposits to fixed accounts each decreased 1 percent. For the nine months, variable annuity deposits increased 4 percent, while deposits to fixed accounts decreased 2 percent. Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits were equal to the third quarter of 2005 and decreased 2 percent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Sales and Distribution
Total new business sales increased in the third quarter and nine months compared to last year. New auto sales units increased 7 percent compared to both the third quarter and first nine months of 2005. The nine month increase in annuity new business reflected a 5 percent increase from the company’s career agents, including an increase in sales of partner products, partially offset by a decline in annuity new business from independent agents. Life new business increased 8 percent compared to the first nine months of 2005.
“We continue to be particularly encouraged by the accelerating growth in auto sales units, as well as total career agent sales for the quarter and nine months, which increased compared to the same periods in 2005. Positive results from initiatives such as the property and casualty Educator Segmentation (Pricing) Model and Product Management Organization, as well as the roll out of a new lineup of Horace Mann manufactured and branded life and annuity products, are continuing to drive improvements in average overall productivity per agent and setting the stage as we continue the implementation of our new Agent Business Model,” said Lower.
Horace Mann’s career agency force totaled 833 agents at September 30, 2006, comparable to the agent count for the prior quarter and 2 percent fewer than a year ago. The decline in the number of agents from year-end 2005 was due in part to the strategic restructuring of agencies in the catastrophe-prone areas of Florida and Louisiana.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, effective for years ending after December 15, 2006. If the standard had been effective and adopted as of December 31, 2005, shareholders’ equity and book value per share would have increased by approximately $7 million and 16 cents, respectively, based on the company’s current interpretation and the most recent measurement date of the company’s defined benefit pension plan and postretirement benefit plan, and also incorporating the previously disclosed changes to its retiree health care benefit plan. SFAS No. 158 requires recognition in the statement of financial position of the funded status of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, including all previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unamortized prior service cost, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. There is no impact on results of operations or cash flows.

| (A) | Effective December 31, 2004, the Company adopted EITF Consensus 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share”. Diluted per share information for all periods is presented on a basis consistent with this consensus. Prior to the repurchases in 2006, the Company’s Senior Convertible Notes represented 4.3 million equivalent shares and had annual interest expense of $2.7 million after tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, the Senior Convertible Notes represented 1.3 million and 2.3 million equivalent shares and had after tax interest expense of $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. |
| (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. Accordingly, the sum of the per share amounts for the three quarters of 2005 does not equal the year-to-date per share amount. |
| (C) | As a result of catastrophes in the third quarter of 2005, the Company incurred $8.9 million of additional ceded premiums to reinstate its property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance coverage. Excluding these reinstatement premiums from 2005, the percentage changes were -2.1% and -2.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. |
| (D) | Based on trailing 12-month net income and average quarter-end shareholders’ equity. |
| (E) | Before the fair value adjustment for investments, book value per share was $14.17 at September 30, 2006 and $12.56 at September 30, 2005. Ending shares outstanding were 43,026,839 at September 30, 2006, 42,972,028 at December 31, 2005 and 42,961,628 at September 30, 2005. |
