Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), Risk Factors and the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based on forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” “plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” “may,” “could” and other terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, Kemper cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. Kemper bases these statements on current expectations and the current economic environment as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties that may be important in determining the Company’s actual future results and financial condition.

In addition to those factors discussed under Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of Part I of Kemper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”) as updated by Item 1A. of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should consider the following list of general factors that, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition.

Factors related to the legal and regulatory environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate

•Evolving policies, practices and interpretations by regulators and courts that increase operating costs and potential liabilities, particularly any that involve retroactive application of new requirements, including, but not limited to, state initiatives related to unclaimed property laws or claims handling practices with respect to life insurance policies and the proactive use of death verification databases, and developments related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 (“COVID-19”);

•Adverse outcomes in litigation or other legal or regulatory proceedings involving Kemper or its subsidiaries or affiliates;

•Governmental actions, including, but not limited to, implementation of new laws and regulations, and court decisions interpreting existing and future laws and regulations or policy provisions;

•Uncertainties related to regulatory approval of insurance rates, policy forms, insurance products, license applications, dividends from insurance subsidiaries, acquisitions of businesses and other matters within the purview of state insurance regulators;

•Increased costs and initiatives required to address new legal and regulatory requirements and developments related to cybersecurity, privacy and data governance;

Factors relating to insurance claims and related reserves in the Company’s insurance businesses

•The incidence, frequency and severity of catastrophes occurring in any particular reporting period or geographic area, including natural disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19) and terrorist attacks or other man-made events;

•The frequency and severity of insurance claims (including those associated with catastrophe losses and pandemics);

•Changes in facts and circumstances affecting assumptions used in determining loss and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) reserves, including, but not limited to, the frequency and severity of insurance claims, changes in claims handling procedures and closure patterns, development patterns and the impacts of COVID-19;

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements (continued)

•The impact of inflation on insurance claims, including, but not limited to, the effects on personal injury claims of increasing medical costs and the effects on property claims attributed to scarcity of resources available to rebuild damaged structures, including labor and materials and the amount of salvage value recovered for damaged property, and the rising costs of insurance claims from increased litigation, higher jury awards, the impact of process change and staffing levels and other effects of societal trends referred to as social inflation;

•Developments related to insurance policy claims and coverage issues, including, but not limited to, interpretations, pronouncements or decisions by courts or regulators that may govern or influence losses incurred in connection with hurricanes and other catastrophes, including COVID-19;

•Orders, interpretations or other actions by regulators that impact the reporting, adjustment and payment of claims;

•Changes in the pricing or availability of reinsurance, or in the financial condition of reinsurers and amounts recoverable therefrom;

Factors related to the Company’s ability to compete

•Changes in the ratings of Kemper and/or its insurance company subsidiaries by rating agencies with regard to credit, financial strength, claims paying ability and other areas on which the Company is rated;

•The level of success and costs incurred in realizing or maintaining economies of scale, integrating acquired businesses and implementing significant business initiatives and the timing of the occurrence or completion of such events, including, but not limited to, those related to expense and claims savings, consolidations, reorganizations and technology;

•Absolute and relative performance of the Company’s products and services, including, but not limited to, the level of success achieved in designing and introducing new insurance products and services;

•Potential difficulties with technology, data and network security (including as a result of cyber attacks), outsourcing relationships or cloud-based technology could negatively impact the Company’s ability to conduct business. This risk is heightened in the current environment where a vast majority of the Company's employees have shifted to a work from home arrangement;

•The ability of the Company to maintain the availability and required performance of critical systems and manage technology initiatives cost-effectively to address insurance industry developments and regulatory requirements;

•Heightened competition, including, with respect to pricing, consolidations of existing competitors or entry of new competitors and alternate distribution channels, introduction of new technologies, use and enhancements of telematics, refinements of existing products and development of new products by current or future competitors;

•Expected benefits and synergies from mergers, acquisitions and/or divestitures that may not be realized to the extent anticipated, within expected time frames or at all, due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the loss of key agents/brokers, customers or employees, increased costs, fees, expenses and related charges and delays caused by unanticipated developments or factors outside of the Company’s control;

•The successful formulation and execution of the Company’s plan with regard to corporate strategy and significant operational changes;

Factors relating to the business environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate

•Changes in general economic conditions, including those related to, without limitation, performance of financial markets, interest rates, inflation, unemployment rates, significant global events such as the global pandemic related to COVID-19, and fluctuating values of particular investments held by the Company;

•Absolute and relative performance of investments held by the Company;

•Changes in insurance industry trends and significant industry developments;

•Changes in consumer trends, including changes in number of miles driven by automobile insurance policyholders, and significant consumer or product developments;

•Changes in capital requirements, including the calculations thereof, used by regulators and rating agencies;

•Changes related to the expectation that London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) reference rates will no longer be available after 2021;

•Regulatory, accounting or tax changes that may affect the cost of, or demand for, the Company’s products or services or after-tax returns from the Company’s investments;

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements (continued)

•The impact of required participation in state windpools and joint underwriting associations, residual market assessments and assessments for insurance industry insolvencies including the impact of COVID-19;

•Changes in distribution channels, methods or costs resulting from changes in laws or regulations, legal proceedings, or market forces;

•Increased costs and risks related to cybersecurity that could materially affect the Company’s operations, including, but not limited to, data breaches, cyber-incidents, virus or malware attacks or other system hazards or infiltrations affecting system integrity, availability and performance, and actions taken to minimize and remediate the risks thereof;

Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Kemper’s filings with the SEC

Kemper cannot provide any assurances that the results and outcomes contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable or that future events or developments will not cause such statements to be inaccurate including impacts related to COVID-19. Kemper assumes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements publicly for any changes in events or developments or in the Company’s expectations or results subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Kemper advises the reader, however, to consult any further disclosures Kemper makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC and include the accounts of Kemper Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts for company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) have been reclassified from Other Assets to Other Investments to conform to the current presentation. Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnote disclosures, prepared in accordance with GAAP is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The preparation of interim financial statements relies heavily on estimates. This factor and other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, as well as market conditions and the impacts of COVID-19, call for caution in drawing specific conclusions from interim results. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Kemper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

Guidance Adopted in 2020

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss impairment model. The expected credit loss impairment model requires the entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets using an allowance for credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement includes the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have occurred during the period. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are measured in a manner similar to prior GAAP, although ASU 2016-13 requires that they be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost. In situations where the estimate of credit loss on an available-for-sale debt security declines, entities will be able to record a reversal of the allowance to income in the current period, which was prohibited prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 was adopted using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as receivables from policyholders. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous accounting guidance. A prospective transition approach is required for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have recognized an other-than-temporary impairment write-down prior to the effective date. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2020, which resulted in no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity previously had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity performs its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill

impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. ASU 2019-04 clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments, previously addressed by ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Derivatives and Hedging Activities, and ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 in the first quarter of 2019. Accordingly, the amendments in ASU 2019-04 related to clarifications on accounting for hedging activities are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The amendments of ASU 2019-04 related to ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The initial adoption of ASU 2019-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. ASU 2019-05 provides transition relief for entities adopting the credit loss standard, ASU 2016-13. Specifically, ASU 2019-05 amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option for financial instruments that are: (i) within the scope of the credit loss guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses; (ii) were previously recorded at amortized cost; (iii) are eligible for the fair value option under ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments; and (iv) are not held to maturity debt. ASU 2019-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company did not elect the fair value option upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 for the financial instruments outlined above.

Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. ASU 2018-12 amends the accounting model for certain long-duration insurance contracts and requires the insurer to provide additional disclosures in annual and interim reporting periods. ASU 2018-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments in ASU 2018-12 (i) require cash flow assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited pay long duration contracts to be updated at least annually with the recognition and remeasurement recorded in net income, (ii) simplify the amortization of deferred acquisition costs to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the contract, (iii) require all market risk benefits to be measured at fair value, and (iv) enhance certain presentation and disclosure requirements which include disaggregated rollforwards for liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, deferred acquisition costs, and information about significant inputs, judgements and methods used in the measurement. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. Further, ASU 2019-12 clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues), which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the

accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance in ASU 2020-04, if elected, shall apply to contract modifications if the terms that are modified directly replace, or have the potential to replace, a reference rate with another interest rate index. If other terms are contemporaneously modified in a manner that changes, or has the potential to change, the amount or timing of contractual cash flows, the guidance in ASU 2020-04 shall apply only if those modifications are related to the replacement of a reference rate. ASU 2020-04 is effective for contract modifications made between March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which clarifies that an entity should re-evaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. ASU 2020-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies have been updated effective January 1, 2020 to reflect the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as described above.

Investments in Fixed Maturities - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

For fixed maturity investments that the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery of value, the full amount of the impairment is reported in Impairment Losses. The Company writes down the investment’s amortized cost to its fair value, and will not adjust for any subsequent recoveries.

For fixed maturity investments that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery of value, the Company will evaluate whether a decline in

fair value below the amortized cost basis has occurred from a credit loss or other factors (non-credit related). Considerations in the credit loss assessment include (1) extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) conditions related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area, (3) payment structure of the investment and the likelihood of the issuer's ability to make contractual cashflows, (4) defaults or other collectability concerns related to the issuer, (5) changes in the ratings assigned by a rating agency and (6) other credit enhancements that affect the investment’s expected performance.

Any increase or decrease in the expected allowance for credit losses related to investments is recognized in Impairment Losses. The expected allowance for credit losses is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis and is adjusted for any additional expected credit losses or subsequent recoveries. The amortized cost basis of the investment is not adjusted for the expected allowance for credit loss. The impairment related to other factors (non-credit related) is reported in Other Comprehensive Income, net of applicable taxes.

The Company reports accrued investment income separately for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued investment income. Accrued investment income is written off through impairment losses at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on interest payments.

Receivables from Policyholders - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the receivables from policyholders based on the net amount expected to be collected on the insurance contract. Receivables from policyholders are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the receivable is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Management estimates the allowance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience on the receivables from policyholders provide the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current environmental conditions, primarily unemployment rates that could impact an insured’s ability to pay premiums and the anticipated impact of COVID-19.

At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before an anticipated recovery of value. The Company evaluated these investments for credit losses at September 30, 2020. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the unrealized losses were credit related including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, conditions related to the security, industry, or geographic area, payment structure of the investment and the likelihood of the issuer’s ability to make contractual cashflows, defaults or other collectability concerns related to the issuer, changes in the ratings assigned by a rating agency, and other credit enhancements that affect the investment’s expected performance. The Company determined that the unrealized losses on these securities were due to non-credit related factors at the evaluation date.

Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $19.2 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $36.0 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at September 30, 2020. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was approximately 11% of the amortized cost basis of the investment.

Based on the Company’s evaluation at December 31, 2019 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.

Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $9.1 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $11.7 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at December 31, 2019. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was approximately 5% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

There were $0.3 million unrealized losses at December 31, 2019 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” There were no unrealized losses at December 31, 2019 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer.”

Equity Securities

Investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value were $788.2 million and $907.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Net unrealized gains arising during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and recognized in earnings, related to such investments still held as of September 30, 2020, were $76.7 million.

For Equity Securities at Modified Cost, the Company performs a qualitative impairment analysis on a quarterly basis consisting of various factors such as earnings performance, current market conditions, changes in credit ratings, changes in the regulatory environment and other factors. If the qualitative analysis identifies the presence of impairment indicators, the Company estimates the fair value of the investment. If the estimated fair value is below the carrying value, the Company records an impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. When the Company identifies observable transactions of the same or similar securities to those held by the Company, the Company increases or decreases the carrying value to the observable transaction price. The Company did not recognize any increases in the carrying value due to observable transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company recognized an impairment of $2.0 million on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of the Company’s qualitative impairment analysis. The Company has recognized $0.5 million cumulative decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions, no cumulative increases in the carrying value due to observable transactions and $5.0 million of cumulative impairments on Equity Securities at Modified Cost held as of September 30, 2020.

There were no unsettled sales of Investments in Equity Securities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There were no unsettled purchases of Investments in Equity Securities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Equity Method Limited Liability Investments at Cost Plus Cumulative Undistributed Earnings

Equity Method Limited Liability Investments include investments in limited liability investment companies and limited partnerships in which the Company’s interests are not deemed minor and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s investments in Equity Method Limited Liability Investments are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in the management of the investment entity. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss at September 30, 2020 is limited to the total carrying value of $206.2 million. In addition, the Company had outstanding commitments totaling approximately $96.5 million to fund Equity Method Limited Liability Investments at September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, 4.4% of Equity Method Limited Liability Investments were reported without a reporting lag. 8.0% of the total carrying value were reported with a one month lag and the remainder were reported with more than a one month lag.

Property and casualty insurance reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends are likely to differ from these historical experience patterns and economic conditions. Loss experience and loss trends emerge over several years from the dates of loss inception. The Company monitors such emerging loss trends on a quarterly basis. Changes in such estimates are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period of change.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company increased its property and casualty insurance reserves by $28.3 million to recognize adverse development of loss and LAE reserves from prior accident years. Specialty personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $31.3 million due primarily to the emergence of more adverse loss patterns than expected for liability insurance. Commercial automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $14.4 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for liability insurance. Preferred personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $17.2 million due primarily to the emergence of more adverse loss patterns than expected for liability insurance. Homeowners loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $3.0 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected. Other lines loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $2.8 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for prior accident years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company decreased its property and casualty insurance reserves by $55.8 million to recognize favorable development of loss and LAE reserves from prior accident years. Specialty personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $19.6 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for liability insurance related to the 2018 accident year. Commercial automobile loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $11.1 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for liability insurance related to the 2018 accident year. Preferred personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $5.6 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for liability insurance related to 2018 and 2017 accident years. Homeowners insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $13.6 million primarily due to the net of reinsurance impact from the sale of subrogation rights related to the 2017 and 2018 California Wildfires. Other lines loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $5.0 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for the 2018 and 2017 accident years.

Note 3 - Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves (continued)

The Company cannot predict whether loss and LAE reserves will develop favorably or adversely from the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that any such development will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity, but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.

Kemper’s subsidiary, United Insurance Company of America ("United Insurance") has entered into funding agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Chicago in exchange for cash, which it uses for spread lending purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, United Insurance received advances of $391.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $190.3 million under the spread lending program.

When a funding agreement is issued, United Insurance is then required to post collateral in the form of eligible securities including mortgage-backed, government, and agency debt instruments for each of the advances that are entered. The fair value of the collateral pledged must be maintained at certain specified levels above the borrowed amount, which can vary depending on the assets pledged. If the fair value of the collateral declines below these specified levels of the amount borrowed, United Insurance would be required to pledge additional collateral or repay outstanding borrowings. Upon any event of default by United Insurance, the FHLB’s recovery on the collateral is limited to the amount of United Insurance’s liability under the funding agreements to the FHLB of Chicago.

Note 7 - Net Income Per Unrestricted Share

The Company’s awards of deferred stock units contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders, as did the Company’s awards of restricted stock units and performance share units prior to 2018. Accordingly, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of Basic Net Income Per Unrestricted Share and Diluted Net Income Per Unrestricted Share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is presented below.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Company’s investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 1 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes. The Company’s investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value that are classified as Level 1 in the two preceding tables consist of either investments in publicly-traded common stocks or exchange traded funds. The Company’s investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 2 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of investments in corporate bonds, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and bonds and mortgage-backed securities of U.S. government agencies. The Company’s investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value that are classified as Level 2 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of investments in preferred stocks. The Company uses a leading, nationally recognized provider of market data and analytics to price the vast majority of the Company’s Level 2 measurements. The provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. Because many fixed maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, the provider’s evaluated pricing applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. In addition, the provider uses model processes to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The pricing provider’s models and processes also take into account market convention. For each asset class, teams of its evaluators gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The Company generally validates the measurements obtained from its primary pricing provider by comparing them with measurements obtained from one additional pricing provider that provides either prices from recent market transactions, quotes in inactive markets or evaluations based on its own proprietary models.

The Company investigates significant differences related to the values provided. On completion of its investigation, management exercises judgment to determine the price selected and whether adjustments, if any, to the price obtained from the Company’s primary pricing provider would warrant classification of the price as Level 3. In instances where a measurement cannot be obtained from either pricing provider, the Company generally will evaluate bid prices from one or more binding quotes obtained from market makers to value investments in inactive markets and classified by the Company as Level 2. The Company generally classifies securities when it receives non-binding quotes or indications as Level 3 securities unless the Company can validate the quote or indication against recent transactions in the market.

The table below presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs utilized by the Company in determining fair values for fixed maturity investments classified as Level 3 at September 30, 2020.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

For an investment in a fixed maturity security, an increase in the yield used to determine the fair value of the security will decrease the fair value of the security. A decrease in the yield used to determine fair value will increase the fair value of the security, but the fair value increase is generally limited to par, unless callable at a premium, if the security is currently callable.

Information by security type pertaining to the changes in the fair value of the Company’s investments classified as Level 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is presented below.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The fair value measurement for loans to policyholders are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Effective June 30, 2020, the Company revised its method of estimating the fair value of loans to policyholders. The fair value measurement of Short-term Investments is estimated using inputs that are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 measurements. The fair value measurement of Mortgage Loans is estimated using inputs that are considered Level 2 measurements. The fair value of Long-term Debt is estimated using quoted prices for similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements. Policyholder Contract Liabilities presented in the preceding table consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, and the inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements.

Note 14 - Contingencies

In the ordinary course of its businesses, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, including lawsuits, arbitrations, regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries. Except with regard to the matters discussed below, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of its pending legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Over the last decade there have been multiple initiatives that intend, in various ways, to impose new duties on life insurance companies to proactively search for information related to the deaths of their insureds. These initiatives, which include legislation, audits, regulatory examinations and litigation, seek to alter the terms of life insurance contracts by imposing requirements that did not exist and were not contemplated at the time the issuing companies entered into such contracts.

In 2016, the Company voluntarily began implementing a comprehensive process to compare the life insurance records of its life insurance subsidiaries against one or more death verification databases to determine if any of its insureds may be deceased; the process is continuing.

Attempts to estimate the ultimate outcomes of the aforementioned initiatives entail uncertainties including but not limited to the (i) scope and interpretation of pertinent statutes, including the matching criteria and methodologies to be used in comparing policy records against a death verification database, (ii) universe of policies affected, (iii) results of audits, examinations and other actions by regulators, (iv) results of the Company’s voluntary process, and (v) outcomes of any related litigation.

Gain Contingency

In 2015, Kemper’s subsidiary, Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. (“KCSI”), filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”), claiming that CSC had breached the terms of a master software license and services agreement and related agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) by failing, among other things, to timely produce and deliver certain software to KCSI. In April 2017, CSC merged with a spin-off of the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and is now known as DXC Technology Company.

In April 2017, the parties participated in an evidentiary hearing before a AAA-appointed arbitrator. In November 2017, the arbitrator awarded KCSI direct damages against CSC of $84.3 million, prejudgment interest at the annual rate of 9% and costs and expenses in the amount of $7.2 million.

KCSI pursued confirmation and enforcement of the award in U.S. District Court in Texas. In September 2018, the district court confirmed the award in favor of KCSI and entered judgment against CSC in the total amount of $141.7 million. CSC appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On January 10, 2020, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s ruling in favor of KCSI.

During the pendency of the district court and appellate proceedings, CSC paid Kemper $35.7 million in September 2018 and an additional $20.1 million in April 2019 in partial satisfaction of the judgment. The Company recognized such payments in Other Income in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In February 2020, following the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling, Kemper received $89.4 million in satisfaction of the remaining balance due on the judgment. The Company recognized such payment in Other Income in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 15 - Related Parties

Mr. Christopher B. Sarofim, a director of Kemper, is Vice Chairman and a member of the board of directors of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“FS&C”), a registered investment advisory firm. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan had $72.0 million in assets managed by FS&C at September 30, 2020 under an agreement with FS&C whereby FS&C provides investment management services with respect to certain funds of the plan. Investment expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company believes that the services described above have been provided on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

In October 2020, the Company’s defined benefit pension plan purchased annuities on behalf of certain plan participants currently receiving benefits and offered to make lump-sum payments directly to certain inactive, vested plan participants that are not currently receiving benefit payments and that elect to receive lump-sum payments. The Company anticipates the partial settlement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Accordingly, the Company estimates that net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 will include an after-tax charge to income ranging from $45.0 million to $55.0 million to recognize the unamortized net unrecognized postretirement benefit costs related to the settled obligations, with a corresponding offset to AOCI.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Summary of Results

Net Income was $312.4 million ($4.75 per unrestricted common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $406.4 million ($6.17 per unrestricted common share) for the same period in 2019.

Net Income was $122.3 million ($1.87 per unrestricted common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $129.0 million ($1.93 per unrestricted common share) for the same period in 2019.

Beginning in March 2020, the global pandemic associated with COVID-19 and related economic conditions began to impact the Company's results of operations. The Company incurred additional expenses associated with COVID-19 and related economic conditions. The Company’s investment results were also negatively impacted by the recent disruption in global financial markets. For further discussion regarding the potential impacts of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on the Company, see “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 1and Item 1A., Risk Factors, of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As part of the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recognized approximately $100 million of premium credits as a reduction to earned premiums in the second quarter of 2020. See MD&A, “Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance” and “Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance”, for additional information. The credits were applied directly to the policyholder's receivable. If a policyholder had paid in full, the policyholder received a refund of the credited amounts.

Summary of Results (continued)

Net Income

Net Income decreased by $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower investment results and higher acquisition related transaction, integration and other costs, partially offset by higher Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income. Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income increased by $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to higher Corporate and Other Net Operating Income and Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance Segment Net Operating Income, partially offset by lower Preferred Property & Casualty Segment Insurance Net Operating Income and Life & Health Segment Insurance Net Operating Income. See MD&A, “Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance”, “Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance” and “Life & Health Insurance,” for discussion of each respective segment’s results. Corporate and Other Net Operating Income increased due primarily to a gain recognized in 2020 for the satisfaction of the remaining balance of a final judgment against CSC in connection with an arbitration award (the “CSC Judgment”). The Company’s investment results were adversely impacted in 2020, compared to 2019, by a $79.6 million after-tax decrease from the change in fair value of the equity and convertible securities, a $6.2 million after-tax decrease from impairment losses and a $0.7 million after-tax decrease from net realized gains on sales of investments. See MD&A, “Investment Results,” for additional discussion.

Net Income decreased by $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income and higher acquisition related transaction, integration and other costs, partially offset by higher investment results. Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income decreased $39.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance Segment Net Operating Income and Life & Health Insurance Segment Net Operating Income, partially offset by higher Specialty Property & Casualty Segment Insurance Net Operating Income. See MD&A, “Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance”, “Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance” and “Life & Health Insurance,” for discussion of each respective segment’s results. Corporate and Other Net Operating Income decreased primarily due to higher acquisition related transaction, integration and other costs. The Company’s investment results were favorably impacted in 2020, compared to 2019, by a $27.9 million after-tax increase from the change in fair value of the equity and convertible securities, a $0.7 million after-tax increase from impairment losses and a $6.5 million after-tax increase from net realized gains on sales of investments. See MD&A, “Investment Results,” for additional discussion.

Revenues

Earned Premiums were $3,458.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $3,326.6 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $131.6 million. Earned Premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a reduction for COVID-19 related premium credits. Excluding the impact of the premium credits, Earned Premiums increased by $231.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $174.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, or by $261.3 million after excluding the impact of premium credits.

See MD&A, “Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance” and “Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance”, for discussion of the changes in each segment’s earned premiums.

Net Investment Income decreased by $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to a lower yields on fixed income securities, lower rate of return from Alternative Investments and higher investment expenses, partially offset by a higher levels of investments in fixed income securities. Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments related to Equity Method Limited Liability Investments decreased by $3.3 million. Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments related to limited liability investments included in either Equity Securities at Fair Value or Equity Securities at Modified Cost decreased by $5.6 million.

Net Investment Income increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to recovery in the return from Alternative Investments and higher levels of investments in fixed income securities, partially offset by lower yields on fixed income securities and higher investment expenses. Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments related to Equity Method

Summary of Results (continued)

Limited Liability Investments increased by $6.6 million due primarily to a recovery in value that deteriorated in the first half of 2020. Net Investment Income from Alternative Investments related to limited liability investments included in either Equity Securities at Fair Value or Equity Securities at Modified Cost decreased by $2.8 million.

Other Income was $92.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2019. Other Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a gain of $89.4 million related to the satisfaction of the CSC Judgment. Other Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a gain of $20.1 million related to the partial satisfaction of the remaining balance of the CSC Judgment. See Note 14, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2019, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Hagerty to transfer the Company’s Classic Collectors book of business to Hagerty. Other Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a $3.8 million gain related to the agreement with Hagerty. Beginning in 2020, the Company changed its presentation of COLI income by presenting such income in Net Investment Income. Prior to the change, COLI income was presented in Other Income. Other Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $5.0 million related to COLI income.

Other Income was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2019. Other Income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 includes a $3.8 million gain related to the agreement with Hagerty and $2.8 million related to COLI income.

Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments were $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $39.1 million for the same period in 2019. Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments were $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2019.

See MD&A, “Investment Results,” under the sub-captions “Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments” and “Impairment Losses” for additional discussion. The Company cannot predict if or when similar investment gains or losses may occur in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Underlying Losses and LAE and Underlying Combined Ratio

The following discussion of segment results uses the non-GAAP financial measures of (i) Underlying Losses and LAE and (ii) Underlying Combined Ratio. Underlying Losses and LAE (also referred to in the discussion as “Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE”) exclude the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years from the Company’s Incurred Losses and LAE, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Underlying Combined Ratio 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.

The Company believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in the Company’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause the Company’s 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 developments are 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. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s underwriting performance.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Net Income the after-tax impact of:

(i)Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities;

(ii)Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments;

(iii)Impairment Losses;

(iv)Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration and Other Costs;

(v)Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt; and

(vi)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 Net Income. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.

The Company believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income 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. Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments and Impairment Losses 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.

The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Company’s businesses.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Segment Net Operating Income of $246.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $220.8 million for the same period in 2019. Segment Net Operating Income increased by $26.0 million due primarily to an improvement in underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, partially offset by the impact of adverse loss reserve development and lower net investment income. Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and loss and LAE reserve development.

Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $174.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, driven primarily by higher volume, partially offset by the impact of premium credits of $87.1 million issued to policyholders during the second quarter of 2020. Both of the segment’s product lines had higher volume, although the overall impact on earned premiums was driven primarily by specialty personal automobile insurance.

Net Investment Income in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower yields on fixed income securities and a lower return on Alternative Investments, partially offset by higher levels of investments in fixed income securities.

Other Income in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. In July 2019, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Hagerty to transfer the Company’s Classic Collectors book of business to Hagerty. Other Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes the $3.8 million gain related to the agreement with Hagerty.

Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 70.3% in 2020, an improvement of 4.5 percentage points, compared to 2019, due primarily to improvements in claim frequency. Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and loss and LAE reserve development. Adverse loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $16.9 million in 2020, compared to favorable development of $30.7 million in 2019. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $6.8 million in 2020, compared to $7.3 million in 2019, an improvement of $0.5 million.

Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance (continued)

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Segment Net Operating Income of $119.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $78.5 million for the same period in 2019. Segment Net Operating Income improved by $40.7 million in 2020 due primarily to higher premium volume and an improvement in underlying loss and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, partially offset by the impact of adverse loss reserve development.

Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $88.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to higher premium volume. While both of the segment’s product lines had higher volume, the overall impact on earned premiums was driven primarily by specialty personal automobile insurance.

Net Investment Income in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due primarily to recovery in the return from Alternative Investments, partially offset by lower yields on fixed income securities and higher levels of investments in fixed income securities.

Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 67.6% in 2020, an improvement of 6.4 percentage points, compared to 2019, driven primarily by improvements in both specialty personal automobile insurance and commercial automobile insurance. Adverse loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $1.8 million in 2020, compared to favorable development of $3.9 million in 2019. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $2.1 million in 2020, compared to $2.3 million in 2019.

Use of Death Verification Databases

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s Life & Health segment voluntarily began implementing a comprehensive process under which it cross-references its life insurance policies against the Death Master File and other death verification databases to identify potential situations where the beneficiaries may not have filed a claim following the death of an insured and initiate an outreach process to identify and contact beneficiaries and settle claims. Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 included a pre-tax charge of $77.8 million to recognize the initial impact of using death verification databases in the Company’s operations, including to determine its IBNR liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses for life insurance products. Subsequently, the Company has reduced its estimate of the initial impact of using death verification databases by $30.3 million, of which $4.5 million and $4.8 million was recognized during the first and second quarters of 2020, respectively, and $15.0 million and $6.0 million was recognized during the third and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively.

Investment Quality and Concentrations

The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio is comprised primarily of high-grade municipal, corporate and agency bonds. At September 30, 2020, 93% of the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio was rated investment-grade, which the Company defines as a security issued by a high quality obligor with at least a relatively stable credit profile and where it is highly likely that all contractual payments of principal and interest will timely occur and carry a rating from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) of 1 or 2. Securities with a rating of 1 or 2 from the NAIC typically are rated by one of more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations and either have a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”); a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”); or a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from Fitch Ratings.

Income Taxes

The federal corporate statutory income tax rate was 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal corporate income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income, dividends received deductions, nontaxable income associated with the change in cash surrender value on COLI, a permanent difference between the amount of long-term equity-based compensation expense recognized under GAAP and the amount deductible in the computation of Federal taxable income, and a permanent difference associated with nondeductible executive compensation.

Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions collectively were $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2019.Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions collectively were $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The nontaxable increase in cash surrender value on COLI was $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2019. The nontaxable increase in cash surrender value on COLI was $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2019.

The amount of expense recognized for long-term equity-based compensation expense under GAAP was $10.6 million lower than the amount that would be deductible under the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $20.0 million lower for the same period in 2019. The amount of expense recognized for long-term equity-based compensation expense under U.S. GAAP was $3.5 million lower than the amount that would be deductible under the IRC for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.4 million lower for the same period in 2019.

The amount of nondeductible executive compensation was $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2019. The amount of nondeductible executive compensation was $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2019.

Federal Home Loan Bank Agreements

Kemper’s subsidiaries, United Insurance, Trinity and Alliance are members of the FHLB of Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco, respectively. Alliance became a member of the FHLB of San Francisco in August 2020. United Insurance and Trinity became members of the FHLBs of Chicago and Dallas, respectively, in 2013. Under their memberships, United, Trinity and Alliance may borrow through the advance program of their respective FHLB. As a requirement of membership in the FHLB, United Insurance, Trinity and Alliance must maintain certain levels of investment in FHLB common stock and additional amounts based on the level of outstanding borrowings. The Company’s investments in FHLB common stock are reported at cost and included in Equity Securities at Modified Cost. The carrying value of FHLB of Chicago common stock was $11.8 million and $4.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The carrying value of FHLB of Dallas common stock was $3.4 million and $3.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The carrying value of FHLB of San Francisco common stock was $1.7 million at September 30, 2020. The Company periodically uses short-term FHLB borrowings for a combination of cash management and risk management purposes, in addition to long-term FHLB borrowings for spread lending purposes.

During the first nine months of 2020, United Insurance received advances of $391.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $190.3 million. United Insurance had outstanding advances from the FHLB of Chicago totaling $444.1 million at September 30, 2020. These advances were made in connection with the Company’s spread lending program. The proceeds related to these advances were used to purchase fixed maturity securities to earn incremental net investment income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

With respect to these advances, United Insurance held pledged securities in a custodial account with the FHLB of Chicago with a fair value of $484.3 million at September 30, 2020. The fair value of the collateral pledged must be maintained at certain specified levels above the borrowed amount, which can vary depending on the assets pledged. If the fair value of the collateral declines below these specified levels of the amount borrowed, United Insurance would be required to pledge additional collateral or repay outstanding borrowings. See Note 4, “Policyholder Contract Liabilities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the United Insurance advances and related funding agreements.

Common Stock Repurchases

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, Kemper did not repurchase or retire any shares of its common stock under its share repurchase authorization.

On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of Kemper common stock, in addition to the $133.3 million remaining under the a previous authorization, so that, as of September 30, 2020, the remaining share repurchase authorization was $333.3 million under the repurchase program. The amount and timing of any future share repurchases under the authorization will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, available liquidity, particular circumstances and other considerations.

Dividends to Shareholders

Kemper paid a quarterly dividend to shareholders of $0.30 per common share in the third quarter of 2020. Cash dividends paid were $59.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Subsidiary Dividends and Capital Contributions

Various state insurance laws restrict the ability of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws generally restrict the amount of dividends paid in an annual period to the greater of statutory net income from the previous year or 10% of statutory capital and surplus. Kemper made a $17.0 million capital contribution to one of its insurance subsidiaries during the first nine months of 2020 and Kemper’s direct insurance subsidiaries collectively paid $305.0 million in dividends to Kemper during the first nine months of 2020. Kemper estimates that its direct insurance subsidiaries would be able to pay approximately $137.0 million in additional dividends to Kemper during the remainder of 2020 without prior regulatory approval.

Sources and Uses of Funds

Kemper directly held cash and investments totaling $738.7 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $206.8 million at December 31, 2019.

The primary sources of funds available for repayment of Kemper’s indebtedness, repurchases of common stock, future shareholder dividend payments and the payment of interest on Kemper’s senior notes and term loan, include cash and investments directly held by Kemper, receipt of dividends from Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries and borrowings under the credit agreement and from subsidiaries.

The primary sources of funds for Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment income, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments, advances from the FHLBs of Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco, and capital contributions from Kemper. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses, the purchase of investments and repayments of advances from the FHLBs of Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco.

Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid. During periods of growth, property and casualty insurance companies typically experience positive operating cash flows and are able to invest a portion of their operating cash flows to fund future policyholder benefits and claims. During periods in which premium revenues decline, insurance companies may experience negative cash flows from operations and may need to sell investments to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. In addition, if the Company’s property and casualty

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may have to be sold in advance of their maturity dates to fund payments, which could result in either investment gains or losses. Management believes that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the event that they were to experience several future catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was $251.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $366.5 million for the same period in 2019.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities was $433.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided of $73.2 million for the same period in 2019. Net proceeds from borrowing under term loan facilities provided $49.9 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Repayments of long-term debt used $185.0 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, of which $150.0 million was used to redeem the Kemper’s 7.375% Subordinated Debentures and $35.0 million was used to repay the remaining outstanding balance of its term loan due 2020. Net proceeds from Policyholder Contract Liabilities provided $199.4 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $127.6 million for the same period of 2019. Cash of $110.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was used to repurchase common stock, compared to no cash used for the same period of 2019. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of transaction costs, did not provide cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to providing cash of $127.5 million for the same period of 2019. Kemper used $59.3 million of cash to pay dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $49.1 million of cash used to pay dividends in the same period of 2019. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.30 per common share for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $0.25 per common share in the same period of 2019.

Cash available for investment activities in total is dependent on cash flow from Operating Activities and Financing Activities and the level of cash the Company elects to maintain. Net Cash Used by Investing Activities was $469.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $381.2 million for the same period in 2019. Short-term investing activities used $147.9 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to usage of $111.5 million of cash for the same period in 2019.

The Company used $100.0 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to purchase corporate-owned life insurance, compared to $50.0 million for the same period in 2019. Net cash used for the acquisition and development of software and long-lived assets was $46.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $53.8 million for the same period in 2019.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Kemper’s subsidiaries conduct their operations in two industries: property and casualty insurance and life and health insurance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The process of estimation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could ultimately differ materially from the estimated amounts reported in a company’s financial statements. Different assumptions are likely to result in different estimates of reported amounts.

The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and the valuation of pension benefit obligations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 2019 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company’s disclosures about market risk in Item 7, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of Part II of the 2019 Annual Report. Accordingly, no disclosures about market risk have been made in Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.

The Company’s management, with the participation of Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Kemper in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Items not listed here have been omitted because they are inapplicable or the answer is negative.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information concerning pending legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to Note 14, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of the Company’s significant risk factors, see Item 1A. of Part I of the 2019 Annual Report. Except for the addition of the risk factors below, which were previously included in Item 1A. of Part II of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, there were no significant changes in the risk factors included in Item 1A. of Part I of the 2019 Annual Report. Readers are also advised to consider other factors not presently known by, or considered material to, the Company that could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, along with other information disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the factors set forth under the caption “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 1 of the 2019 Annual Report and on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and to consult any further disclosures Kemper makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.

Risk Factors Added

The impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions could materially affect Kemper’s results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity.

Beginning in March 2020, the global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 began to adversely impact the global economy and has resulted in an unprecedented global economic downturn, including in the United States where the Company conducts its operations. Given the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and its effects upon the economy, and the dynamic nature of the circumstances, all direct and indirect consequences of COVID-19 are unknown and highly uncertain and it is not possible for Kemper to estimate the scope and extent of its future effects on the Company with any degree of certainty.

As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic consequences, the Company could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could individually and collectively have a material, adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

•decrease in overall premium volumes due to the economic downturn and rising unemployment rates

•adverse impact on investment portfolio as a result of ratings downgrades, increased bankruptcies and credit spread widening in distressed industries, such as energy, gaming, lodging and leisure, autos, airlines and retail

•increase in estimated credit losses on fixed maturity investments held at fair value as well as other investments and receivables from policyholders

•higher incurred losses and LAE in Life & Health lines of business related to an increase in frequency and/or severity of claims

•regulatory actions imposing new requirements that could result in increased costs, reduced revenues, expansion of coverage and other effects, and additional restrictions that could affect the Company’s pricing, risk selection and particular rights and obligations under its insurance policies and with regard to its insureds, including the ability to cancel policies and collect premiums

•disruptions in business operations and availability of critical systems due to illness and other effects on the workforce of the Company and its business partners and key vendors

•increased cybersecurity risks with regard to personal information due to remote working arrangements and resulting changes in certain operational controls

These additional risks and related factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided. For a further discussion of risks that could impact the Company as a result of certain factors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Summary of Results” and other disclosures in Item 2, MD&A, of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes to, or the potential replacement of, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with an alternative reference rate index may impact our financial results, including the value of certain investments we hold, our net investment income, and other assets or liabilities whose value or cash flows are tied to LIBOR.

LIBOR is a common benchmark rate widely utilized by market participants to set and adjust the interest rate on floating rate securities and loans, as well as other financial instruments.

In July 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR reference rates after 2021. In this case, it is expected that these LIBOR reference rates will no longer be available after 2021. While alternative reference rates have been developed, including The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the broad acceptance and the timing of transition to such alternative rates in the pricing of existing and new financial contracts by market participants remains uncertain. Discontinuance of, or potential changes to, LIBOR and the extent of any such changes, or the establishment of alternative reference rates, may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based securities and could adversely impact the value of the Company’s investments, net investment income, the cost of borrowing under Kemper’s unsecured revolving credit facility, and other assets or liabilities with values tied to LIBOR.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of Kemper common stock, in addition to the $133.3 million remaining under the previous authorization. As of September 30, 2020, the remaining share repurchase authorization was $333.3 million under the repurchase program. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, Kemper did not repurchase or retire any shares of its common stock under its share repurchase authorization.
