Kemper Reports Strong First Quarter 2019 Operating Results

Published

Reading Time: 13 minutes

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR)
reported net income of $155.3 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, for
the first quarter of 2019, compared to $53.8 million, or $1.02 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. In the first quarter of
2019, net income included a $50.9 million after-tax gain, or $0.77 per
diluted share, attributable to the change in fair value of equity and
convertible securities. As adjusted for the acquisition of Infinity
Property and Casualty Corporation1, net income was $153.2
million, or $2.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019,
compared to $73.9 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2018.

Adjusted consolidated net operating income1 was $98.9
million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019,
compared to $57.5 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2018. These results increased primarily from the continued
profitable growth in Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment.

Highlights of the quarter include:

  • Consolidated earned premiums increased by 76 percent, or $465.0
    million in the quarter, as reported, 12 percent, or $111.0 million, as
    adjusted
    1
  • Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s earned premiums
    increased by 162 percent, or $450.9 million in the quarter, as
    reported, or 15 percent, or $96.9 million, as adjusted
    1

“Kemper delivered strong growth and earnings this quarter with solid
operating performance in our core businesses, including significant
increases in earned premiums, net income, earnings per share and book
value per share,” said Joseph P. Lacher, Jr., President and CEO. “Our
focus on growing, niche and underserved markets and ability to meet the
needs of our customers is driving growth in revenues and profitability.”

Capital

Total Shareholders’ Equity at the end of the quarter was $3,320.1
million, an increase of $270.0 million, or 9 percent, since year-end
2018 driven by net income and unrealized gain on fixed maturity
portfolio, partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders. Kemper
ended the quarter with cash and investments at the holding company of
$118.6 million, and the $300 million revolving credit agreement was
undrawn.

During the first quarter of 2019, Kemper paid dividends of $16.2 million.

Kemper ended the quarter with a book value per share of $51.13, an
increase of 9 percent from $47.10 at the end of 2018. Book value per
share excluding net unrealized gains on fixed maturities1 was
$47.41, up 4 percent from $45.40 at the end of 2018, driven by net
income, partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders.

Revenues

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased $543.3 million,
or 78 percent, to $1,236.3 million, compared to the first quarter of
2018, driven by $450.9 million of higher Specialty P&C earned premiums
and by $63.7 million of higher revenues from the increase in the fair
values of equity and convertible securities. Net investment income
increased $3.5 million to $82.7 million in the first quarter of 2019,
primarily from a $14.0 million increase in interest on fixed income
securities primarily from the addition of Infinity’s investment
portfolio, partially offset by a $12.0 million reduction in net
investment income on the alternative investments portfolio. Net realized
investment gains were $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2019,
compared to $2.6 million last year. Other income increased $0.7 million
to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2019.

On an as adjusted basis1, Specialty P&C earned premiums for
the first quarter of 2019 increased $96.9 million, or 15 percent, to
$729.3, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily from higher
policies in-force.

Segment Results

Unless otherwise noted, (i) the segment results discussed below are
presented on an after-tax basis, (ii) prior-year development includes
both catastrophe and non-catastrophe losses and LAE, (iii) catastrophe
losses and LAE exclude the impact of prior-year development, (iv) loss
ratio includes loss and LAE, and (v) all comparisons are made to the
prior year quarter unless otherwise stated.

The Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net
operating income of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared
to $13.5 million in 2018. Results decreased primarily from an elevated
level of catastrophe losses, a reduction in net investment income and
some above normal large loss activity. The Preferred Property & Casualty
Insurance segment’s combined ratio increased 4.4 percentage points to
102.7 percent, while the underlying combined ratio1 increased
1.1 percentage points to 96.0 percent in the first quarter of 2019,
driven by an increase in the underlying loss ratio1 in
Homeowners associated with the aforementioned loss activity.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net
operating income of $79.6 million for the first quarter of 2019,
compared to $23.4 million in 2018. Results increased primarily from
strong Personal Automobile growth and profitability. On an as adjusted
basis1, the segment’s net operating income was $75.9 million
in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $49.8 million in 2018. The
segment’s underlying combined ratio1 improved 1.7 percentage
points to 91.7 percent in the first quarter of 2019, primarily from an
improvement in the underlying loss ratio1 in both Personal
Automobile and Commercial Automobile.

The Life & Health Insurance segment reported net operating income of
$23.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $24.1 million
in 2018. Income was lower primarily due to a reduction in net investment
income. Higher sales volumes in both the Life and Health business lines
resulted in increased earned premiums and corresponding variable
compensation expense. The benefits ratio also improved relative to the
first quarter of 2018 which was negatively impacted by a severe flu
season.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 is an after-tax,
non-GAAP financial measure computed by excluding from Income from
Continuing Operations the after-tax impact of 1) loss from change in
fair value of equity and convertible securities, 2) net realized gains
on sales of investments, 3) net impairment losses recognized in earnings
related to investments, 4) acquisition related transaction, integration
and other costs, 5) loss from early extinguishment of debt and 6)
significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative
of ongoing operations. Significant non-recurring items are excluded when
(a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably
unlikely to recur within two years and (b) there has been no similar
charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is Income from Continuing Operations.

Kemper believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1
provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance
because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that
otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Loss
from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net
Realized Gains on Sales of Investments and Net Impairment Losses
Recognized in Earnings related to investments included in the Company’s
results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven
by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital
market conditions that impact the values of the Company’s investments,
the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process.
Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt is driven by the Company’s
financing and refinancing decisions and capital needs, as well as
external economic developments such as debt market conditions, the
timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process.
Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration and Other Costs may vary
significantly between periods and are generally driven by the timing of
acquisitions and business decisions which are unrelated to the insurance
underwriting process. Significant non-recurring items are excluded
because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s
business or economic trends.

Consolidated Net Operating Income1 for the three months ended
March 31, 2019 and 2018 is presented below.

Per Unrestricted Share

Diluted Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income Per Unrestricted Share1
is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing Adjusted
Consolidated Net Operating Income1 attributed to unrestricted
shares by the weighted-average unrestricted shares and equivalent shares
outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is
Diluted Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share.

Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized
Gains on Fixed Maturities
1

Book Value Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities1
is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by
dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the after-tax impact of
net unrealized gains on fixed income securities by total Common Shares
Issued and Outstanding. Book Value Per Share is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure. Kemper uses the trends in book value
per share, excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains on
fixed income securities, in conjunction with book value per share to
identify and analyze the change in net worth attributable to management
efforts between periods. Kemper believes the non-GAAP financial measure
is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that
can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally
driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions,
the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management.
Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of
performance by highlighting underlying business activity and
profitability drivers.

A reconciliation of the numerator used in the computation of Book Value
Per Share Excluding Net Unrealized Gains on Fixed Maturities1
and Book Value Per Share at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is

$ 3,078.2   $ 2,939.7
 

Underlying Combined Ratio1

Underlying Combined Ratio1 is a non-GAAP financial measure
that is computed by adding the current year non-catastrophe losses and
LAE ratio with the insurance expense ratio. The most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is the combined ratio, which is computed by
adding total incurred losses and LAE, including the impact of
catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior
years, with the insurance expense ratio. Kemper believes the underlying
combined ratio is useful to investors and is used by management to
reveal the trends in Kemper’s property and casualty insurance businesses
that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve
development. These catastrophe losses may cause loss trends to vary
significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of
occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on incurred
losses and LAE and the combined ratio. Prior-year reserve development is
caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because
reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier
periods, it has no bearing on the performance of the company’s insurance
products in the current period. Kemper believes it is useful for
investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate
when reviewing its underwriting performance. The underlying combined
ratio1 should not be considered a substitute for the combined
ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of our
business.

As Adjusted for Acquisition1

As Adjusted for Acquisition1 amounts are non-GAAP financial
measures. For three months ended March 31, 2019, as adjusted amounts are
computed by subtracting the impact of purchase accounting adjustments
from the comparable consolidated GAAP financial measure reported by
Kemper. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, as adjusted amounts
are computed by adding the historical results of Infinity reported on a
GAAP basis to the comparable consolidated GAAP financial measure
reported by Kemper.
