Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
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 disclosures 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, 2017 , the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . 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 of 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, 2016 . The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the 2017 presentation. See “Adopted Accounting Standards”. Investment Contract and Life Policy Reserves This table summarizes the Company’s investment contract and life policy reserves. ($ in thousands) September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Investment contract reserves $ 4,428,989 $ 4,360,456 Life policy reserves 1,111,056 1,087,513 Total $ 5,540,045 $ 5,447,969 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents the accumulated change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-shareholder sources. For the Company, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes the after tax change in net unrealized investment gains and losses on fixed maturity and equity securities and the after tax change in net funded status of benefit plans for the period as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. The following tables reconcile these components. ($ in thousands) Net Unrealized Investment Gains and Losses on Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities (1)(2) Benefit Plans (1) Total (1) Beginning balance, July 1, 2017 $ 243,510 $ (11,817 ) $ 231,693 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 9,786 — 9,786 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 2,422 — 2,422 Net current period other comprehensive income 12,208 — 12,208 Ending balance, September 30, 2017 $ 255,718 $ (11,817 ) $ 243,901 Beginning balance, January 1, 2017 $ 175,738 $ (11,817 ) $ 163,921 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 78,419 — 78,419 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 1,561 — 1,561 Net current period other comprehensive income 79,980 — 79,980 Ending balance, September 30, 2017 $ 255,718 $ (11,817 ) $ 243,901 (1) All amounts are net of tax. (2) The pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $(3,726) thousand and $(2,401) thousand , are included in net realized investment gains and losses and the related income tax expense, $(1,304) thousand and $(840) thousand , are included in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 , respectively.

(2) The pretax amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $3,499 thousand and $8,566 thousand , are included in net realized investment gains and losses and the related income tax expense, $1,225 thousand and $2,998 thousand , are included in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 , 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 -- Net Unrealized Investment Gains and Losses on Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities”. Adopted Accounting Standards Employee Share-based Payment Accounting Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for employee share-based payments which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The recognition and classification of the excess tax benefit provisions were applied prospectively in the results of operations. This adoption resulted in additional excess tax benefits of $2,864 thousand which reduced the current provision for income taxes in the results of operations. The statutory tax withholding classification, which are cash payments made to taxing authorities for withheld taxes funded through tendered shares, were applied retrospectively and the Company reclassified the statutory tax withholding requirements in the statement of cash flows from Other in operating activities to Withholding tax payments on RSUs tendered in financing activities. This statutory withholding reclassification resulted in $2,745 thousand and $3,321 thousand being included in financing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. There were no cumulative effect adjustments upon adoption of the new accounting guidance. Pending Accounting Standards Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance to provide a single comprehensive model in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance applies to all contracts with customers; however, insurance contracts are specifically excluded from this updated guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt the guidance as of January 1, 2018. Insurance contract revenue continues to fall under the scope of ASC 944, Financial Services - Insurance, and ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company performed an evaluation of the non-insurance contract revenue that would be subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and concluded that there is not a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2018. Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to improve certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, the guidance revises the accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The Company’s results of operations will be impacted as changes in fair value of equity securities will be reported in net income instead of reported in other comprehensive income. The effective date of the guidance is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance has not yet been adopted. Had the Company adopted the guidance on September 30, 2017, $15,718 thousand of after-tax unrealized gains on equity securities would have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The actual amount reclassified upon adoption will vary depending on the future changes in fair value of the Company's equity portfolio. Statement of Cash Flows -- Classification In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce diversity in practice in the statement of cash flows between operating, investing and financing activities related to the classification of cash receipts and cash payments for eight specific issues. The FASB acknowledged that current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on these eight cash flow classification issues: (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds (pertains to issuers); (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims (pertains to claimants); (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions (pertains to transferors) and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, using a retrospective approach. The guidance allows prospective adoption for individual issues if it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for those issues. Early application is permitted. Management believes the adoption of this accounting guidance will not have a material effect on the classifications in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. The adoption of this accounting guidance will not have any effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company. Accounting for Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting and disclosure guidance to improve financial reporting and comparability among organizations about leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Consistent with current accounting guidance, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or an operating lease. However, while current guidance requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new guidance will require both operating and capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. In transition to the new guidance, companies are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early application is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments, including reinsurance receivables, held by companies. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology and requires an organization to measure and recognize all current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Companies will need to utilize forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Companies will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Credit losses related to available for sale debt securities -- which represent over 90% of Horace Mann’s total investment portfolio -- will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses with this allowance having a limit equal to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. The guidance also requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, using a modified-retrospective approach. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment |

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] | |
Investments | The Company’s investment portfolio includes free-standing derivative financial instruments (currently over the counter (“OTC”) index call option contracts) to economically hedge risk associated with its fixed indexed annuity (“FIA”) and indexed universal life (“IUL”) products’ contingent liabilities. The Company’s FIA and IUL products include embedded derivative features that are discussed in “Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- Investment Contract and Life Policy Reserves -- Reserves for Fixed Indexed Annuities and Indexed Universal Life Policies” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The Company’s investment portfolio included no other free-standing derivative financial instruments (futures, forwards, swaps, option contracts or other financial instruments with similar characteristics), and there were no other embedded derivative features related to the Company’s investment or insurance products during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities The Company’s investment portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed maturity securities and also includes equity securities. The amortized cost or cost, unrealized investment gains and losses, fair values and other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of all fixed maturity and equity securities in the portfolio were as follows: ($ in thousands) Amortized Cost or Cost Unrealized Investment Gains Unrealized Investment Losses Fair Value OTTI in AOCI (1) September 30, 2017 Fixed maturity securities U.S. Government and federally sponsored agency obligations (2): Mortgage-backed securities $ 613,761 $ 34,712 $ 3,071 $ 645,402 $ — Other, including U.S. Treasury securities 653,237 24,705 6,922 671,020 — Municipal bonds 1,669,273 177,359 4,428 1,842,204 — Foreign government bonds 93,761 6,416 — 100,177 — Corporate bonds 2,635,313 190,548 4,158 2,821,703 — Other mortgage-backed securities 1,529,052 26,879 5,803 1,550,128 1,335 Totals $ 7,194,397 $ 460,619 $ 24,382 $ 7,630,634 $ 1,335 Equity securities (3) $ 140,200 $ 20,483 $ 1,408 $ 159,275 $ — December 31, 2016 Fixed maturity securities U.S. Government and federally sponsored agency obligations (2): Mortgage-backed securities $ 587,355 $ 34,256 $ 6,720 $ 614,891 $ — Other, including U.S. Treasury securities 458,745 18,518 10,120 467,143 — Municipal bonds 1,648,252 143,733 22,588 1,769,397 — Foreign government bonds 93,864 5,102 297 98,669 — Corporate bonds 2,672,818 152,229 14,826 2,810,221 — Other mortgage-backed securities 1,691,093 21,153 15,859 1,696,387 1,618 Totals $ 7,152,127 $ 374,991 $ 70,410 $ 7,456,708 $ 1,618 Equity securities (3) $ 134,013 $ 13,210 $ 5,574 $ 141,649 $ — (1) Related to securities for which an unrealized loss was bifurcated to distinguish the credit-related portion and the portion driven by other market factors. Represents the amount of OTTI losses in AOCI which was not included in earnings; amounts also include net unrealized investment gains and losses on such impaired securities relating to changes in the fair value of those securities subsequent to the impairment measurement date. (2) Fair value includes securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) of $332,057 thousand and $272,668 thousand ; Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) of $373,676 thousand and $378,683 thousand ; and Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) of $109,873 thousand and $115,627 thousand as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. (3) Includes nonredeemable perpetual preferred stocks, common stocks and closed-end funds. The following table presents the fair value and gross unrealized losses of fixed maturity and equity securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The Company views the decrease in value of all of the securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2017 -- 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. For equity securities, the Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities for the recovery of cost and recovery of cost is expected within a reasonable period of time.

Expected Maturity of Fixed Maturity Securities The following table presents the distribution of the Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio by estimated expected maturity. Estimated expected maturities differ from contractual maturities, reflecting assumptions regarding borrowers’ utilization of the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. For structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, estimated expected maturities consider broker-dealer survey prepayment assumptions and are verified for consistency with the interest rate and economic environments.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
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, 2016 , specifically in “Note 3 -- Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. Financial Instruments Measured and Carried at Fair Value The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2017 , Level 3 invested assets comprised 3.3% of the Company’s total investment portfolio at fair value.

(3) Transfers into and out of Level 3 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 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, 2017 , the Company impaired two Level 3 securities for a $1,874 thousand realized loss. At September 30, 2016 , there were no net realized investment 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 month periods ended September 30, 2017 , net realized losses of $2,587 thousand and $6,133 thousand , 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 month periods ended September 30, 2016 , the respective loss amounts were $68 thousand and $2,066 thousand . 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, 2016. 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 maturity securities. The sensitivity of the estimated fair values to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for fixed maturity and equity securities included in Level 3 generally relate 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 | The Company offers FIA products, 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, and IUL products, 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 OTC call options on the applicable market indices to fund the index credits due to FIA and IUL policyholders. For the Company, substantially all of 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 changes in fair value included in Net realized investment gains and losses, a component of Revenues, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value of the 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 FIA contracts are treated as a “series of embedded derivatives” over the expected life of the applicable contract with a corresponding reserve recorded. For the IUL 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 as Net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair values of derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in FIA and IUL contracts, presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: ($ in thousands) September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Assets Derivative instruments, included in Short-term and other investments $ 10,431 $ 8,694 Liabilities FIA - embedded derivatives, included in Other policyholder funds $ 72,986 $ 59,393 IUL - embedded derivatives, included in Investment contract and life policy reserves 390 158 In general, the change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to FIA contracts will not correspond to the change in fair value of the purchased call options because the purchased call options are one-year options while the options valued in those embedded derivatives represent the rights of the policyholder to receive index credits over the entire period the FIA contracts are expected to be in force, which typically exceeds 10 years. The changes in fair value of derivatives included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows: ($ in thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Change in fair value of derivatives (1): Revenues Net realized investment gains $ 2,943 $ 562 $ 7,109 $ 422 Change in fair value of embedded derivatives: Revenues Net realized investment losses $ (2,702 ) $ (76 ) $ (6,363 ) $ (2,077 ) (1) Includes the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term or early termination and the changes in fair value for open options. 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 Financial Services LLC ("S&P") long-term credit rating of “BBB+” 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. The notional amount and fair value of call options by counterparty and each counterparty’s long-term credit ratings were as follows: ($ in thousands) September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Credit Rating Notional Fair Notional Fair Counterparty S&P Amount Value Amount Value Bank of America, N.A.

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 thousand |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | The Company conducts and manages its business through four segments. The three operating segments, representing the major lines of business, are: Property and Casualty, primarily personal lines automobile and homeowners insurance products; Retirement, primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities; and Life, life insurance. The Company does not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to these operating 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, net realized investment gains and losses and certain public company expenses, such items also have included corporate debt retirement costs/gains, when applicable.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
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 disclosures 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, 2017 , the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . 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 of 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, 2016 . The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the 2017 |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Adopted and Pending Accounting Standards | Adopted Accounting Standards Employee Share-based Payment Accounting Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for employee share-based payments which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The recognition and classification of the excess tax benefit provisions were applied prospectively in the results of operations. This adoption resulted in additional excess tax benefits of $2,864 thousand which reduced the current provision for income taxes in the results of operations. The statutory tax withholding classification, which are cash payments made to taxing authorities for withheld taxes funded through tendered shares, were applied retrospectively and the Company reclassified the statutory tax withholding requirements in the statement of cash flows from Other in operating activities to Withholding tax payments on RSUs tendered in financing activities. This statutory withholding reclassification resulted in $2,745 thousand and $3,321 thousand being included in financing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. There were no cumulative effect adjustments upon adoption of the new accounting guidance. Pending Accounting Standards Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance to provide a single comprehensive model in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance applies to all contracts with customers; however, insurance contracts are specifically excluded from this updated guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt the guidance as of January 1, 2018. Insurance contract revenue continues to fall under the scope of ASC 944, Financial Services - Insurance, and ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company performed an evaluation of the non-insurance contract revenue that would be subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and concluded that there is not a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2018. Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to improve certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, the guidance revises the accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The Company’s results of operations will be impacted as changes in fair value of equity securities will be reported in net income instead of reported in other comprehensive income. The effective date of the guidance is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance has not yet been adopted. Had the Company adopted the guidance on September 30, 2017, $15,718 thousand of after-tax unrealized gains on equity securities would have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The actual amount reclassified upon adoption will vary depending on the future changes in fair value of the Company's equity portfolio. Statement of Cash Flows -- Classification In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce diversity in practice in the statement of cash flows between operating, investing and financing activities related to the classification of cash receipts and cash payments for eight specific issues. The FASB acknowledged that current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on these eight cash flow classification issues: (1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds (pertains to issuers); (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims (pertains to claimants); (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions (pertains to transferors) and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, using a retrospective approach. The guidance allows prospective adoption for individual issues if it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for those issues. Early application is permitted. Management believes the adoption of this accounting guidance will not have a material effect on the classifications in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. The adoption of this accounting guidance will not have any effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company. Accounting for Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting and disclosure guidance to improve financial reporting and comparability among organizations about leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Consistent with current accounting guidance, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or an operating lease. However, while current guidance requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new guidance will require both operating and capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. In transition to the new guidance, companies are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early application is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments, including reinsurance receivables, held by companies. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology and requires an organization to measure and recognize all current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Companies will need to utilize forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Companies will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Credit losses related to available for sale debt securities -- which represent over 90% of Horace Mann’s total investment portfolio -- will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses with this allowance having a limit equal to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. The guidance also requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, using a modified-retrospective approach. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment |
