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”), as well as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, 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 the 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, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), the reader should consider the following list of 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;

• Adverse outcomes in litigation, investigations or other legal or regulatory proceedings involving Kemper or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including proceedings related to its business practices or business practices in the insurance industry;

• 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, business withdrawals, dividends from insurance subsidiaries, reinsurance arrangements, acquisitions of businesses or strategic initiatives and other matters within the purview of insurance regulators;

• Increased costs required to address new legal and regulatory requirements; liabilities, costs and other impacts arising from investigations or developments related to cybersecurity, privacy and data governance, including, without limitation, cyber incidents that have occurred or may occur;

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 and terrorist attacks or other man-made events;

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

• The interest rate environment, including recently enacted and proposed rate changes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which may cause material fluctuations in our life policyholder benefit reserves;

• 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 technological and other environmental conditions;

• The impact of inflation on insurance claims, including, but not limited to, the effects on material costs, the effects on personal injury claims of increasing medical costs and the effects on severity of claims resulting from a catastrophe;

• The effects on property claims attributed to supply chain disruption, in part potentially as a result of the impact of tariffs and scarcity of resources available to rebuild damaged structures and repair damaged property, including labor and materials and the amount of salvage value recovered for damaged property;

• The rising costs of insurance claims from increased and more targeted litigation, higher jury awards, broader definitions of liability, and other effects of legal and societal trends referred to as legal system abuse or 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;

• 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, the operation of Kemper Reciprocal, 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;

• Difficulties with technology, data and network security (including as a result of cyber attacks that have occurred or may occur), outsourcing relationships or cloud-based technology that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to conduct business;

• The ability of the Company and its third-party service providers 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, divestitures and/or strategic initiatives 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;

• Increase in competition as a result of new competitors to the property and casualty insurance industry or existence of competitors that receive substantial infusion of capital or access to third-party capital;

Factors related 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, increased volatilities in market conditions, interest rates, inflation, unemployment rates, significant global catastrophes and/or pandemics, tariffs and international trade policies, such as the implementation of tariffs recently imposed by the US government pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and fluctuating values of particular investments held by the Company;

• Absolute and relative performance of investments made 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;

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

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

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

• Increasing competition and higher costs for executive talent and employees with necessary skills and industry experience;

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

Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Kemper’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. 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.

KEMPER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries which include property and casualty insurance subsidiaries, life insurance subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of Kemper Corporation, its subsidiaries, and a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain financial information that is included in the 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 to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements requires significant management estimates. Due to this factor and other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, annualizing the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to October 1, 2025. There were no adoptions of such accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that had a material impact on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but does not anticipate the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to use consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the tax rate reconciliation as well as requiring disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires companies to disclose, within the financial statement footnotes, the amount of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities that contribute to each income statement expense line item, as well as the amount of selling expenses incurred during each reporting period. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which replaces the existing project stage model with a principles-based approach. Software costs are capitalized when management

commits funding, and it is probable the project will be completed and used as intended. ASU 2025-06 also aligns disclosure requirements with those for property, plant, and equipment, eliminates separate intangible asset disclosures, and supersedes guidance on website development costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of Basic Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented below.


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in Millions, except per share amounts)	Sep 30, 2025		Sep 30, 2024		Sep 30, 2025		Sep 30, 2024
Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation	$	( 21.0 )	$	73.7	$	151.3	$	220.4

Weighted-average Unrestricted Shares Outstanding	61,477.4		64,216.5		63,092.2		64,288.4

Weighted-average Unrestricted Shares and Equivalent Shares Outstanding Assuming Dilution	61,477.4		64,898.0		63,720.4		64,863.8

Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation per Unrestricted Share:
(Per Unrestricted Share in Whole Dollars)
Basic Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share	$	( 0.34 )	$	1.15	$	2.40	$	3.43
Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Unrestricted Share	$	( 0.34 )	$	1.14	$	2.37	$	3.40

The number of shares of Kemper common stock that were excluded from the calculations of Equity-based Compensation Equivalent Shares and Weighted-average Unrestricted Shares and Equivalent Shares Outstanding Assuming Dilution because the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive was 2.0 million and 1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The number of shares of Kemper common stock that were excluded from the calculations of Equity-based Compensation Equivalent Shares and Weighted-average Unrestricted Shares and Equivalent Shares Outstanding Assuming Dilution because the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive was 1.4 million and 1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 3 - Business Segments

The Company is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the property and casualty insurance and life and health insurance businesses. The Company conducts its operations through two operating segments: Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance and Life Insurance.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s principal products are specialty personal automobile and commercial automobile insurance. These products are distributed primarily through independent agents and brokers. The Life Insurance segment’s principal products are individual life, accident, supplemental health and property insurance. Career agents employed by the Company distribute these products. Corporate and Other operations include interest expense, board of directors’ fees, and general corporate expenses incurred by the Company which are not allocated to other businesses. Non-Core Operations includes the results of the Preferred Insurance business which the Company expects to fully exit.

Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income

The Company analyzes the operating performance of each segment using segment adjusted net operating income . Segment adjusted net operating income does not equate to “ net (loss) income ” as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and consistent with authoritative guidance, is the measure of segment performance presented below. Segment adjusted net operating income is calculated by adjusting each segment’s income after income taxes for the following items:

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

(ii) Net Realized Investment Gains ;

(iii) Impairment Losses ;

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

(v) Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges;

(vi) Goodwill Impairment Charges;

(vii) Non-Core Operations; and

(viii) Significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations

These items are important to an understanding of overall results of operations. Segment adjusted net operating income is not a substitute for income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s definition of segment adjusted net operating income may differ from that used by other companies. The Company, however, believes that the presentation of segment adjusted net operating income , as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability factors of its businesses.

Total Segment, Non-Core Operations, and Corporate and Other assets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were:

Note 4 - Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves

Property and Casualty Insurance Reserve activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was:

Plus: Reinsurance Recoverables at End of Period	22.7		26.4
Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves, Gross of Reinsurance at End of Period	$	2,806.0	$	2,586.9

Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends may 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 (Loss) Income in the period of change. Additionally, the Company reviews if any premium revisions are appropriate as a result of any incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) related to prior years recorded in the current period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no additional premiums or return premiums were recorded.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the net adverse prior year development of $ 66.2 million included $ 67.5 million of adverse development on prior accident years attributable to evolving loss patterns and higher defense costs associated with attorney-represented bodily injury coverages in the Commercial Automobile product line.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the net adverse prior year development of $ 27.4 million included $ 22.1 million of adverse development within Non-Core Operations due primarily to higher than expected loss emergence related to homeowners, umbrella, and bodily injury coverages. In addition, the Company experienced adverse development of $ 5.1 million within the Specialty Personal Automobile product line, primarily driven by higher than expected settlements for extra-contractual demands related to prior year claims.

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

Note 5 - Liability for Future Policyholder Benefits

The Company’s Life Insurance Reserves are reported using the Company’s estimate of its liability for future policyholder benefits. The liability for future policyholder benefits is grouped by contract type and issue year into cohorts consistent with the grouping used in estimating the associated liability.

Investments in Equity Securities at Modified Cost were $ 22.2 million and $ 22.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. 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 Statements of (Loss) 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 changes in carrying value due to observable transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company did no t recognize any impairment on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the Company’s impairment analysis. The Company recognized an impairment of $ 0.4 million on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for nine months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of the Company’s impairment analysis. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recognized no cumulative increases or decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions and $ 3.2 million of cumulative impairments on Equity Securities at Modified Cost.

Alternative Energy Partnership Investments include partnerships formed to invest in newly installed residential solar leases and power purchase agreements. As a result of this investment, the Company has the right to certain investment tax credits and tax depreciation benefits, and to a lesser extent, cash flows generated from the installed solar systems leased to individual consumers for a fixed period of time. The Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value (“HLBV”) equity method of accounting is used for the Company’s investments in Alternative Energy Partnership Investments. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss at September 30, 2025 is limited to the total carrying value of $ 17.4 million. The Company has no outstanding commitments to fund Alternative Energy Partnership Investments as of September 30, 2025. Alternative Energy Partnership Investments are reported on a three-month lag.

Note 7 - Derivatives

The Company’s earnings, cash flows, and financial position are subject to fluctuations due to changes in prevailing interest rates.

The Company entered into derivative agreements with maturity dates throughout 2025. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments in a gain position are presented within Other Investments and those in a loss position are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. Changes in the fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income within Net Realized Investment Gains. Changes in the fair values of derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss along with the corresponding change in the designated hedge assets.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s debt securities valuations utilize the Treasury designated benchmark rate, exposing the Company to variability due to changes in interest rates.

Ultra-Long Treasury Futures

The Company enters into exchange-traded ultra-long Treasury futures (“Treasury Futures”) in order to manage exposure to upcoming changes in the benchmark (Treasury) interest rate of forecasted transactions. These derivatives expire quarterly. As of September 30, 2025, all Treasury Futures held by the Company qualified for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge. The Company utilizes a rollover hedging strategy that involves continuously establishing short-term derivatives in consecutive contract months to hedge the underlying risk exposure. Under this strategy, the complete set of derivatives are not acquired at hedge inception; rather, short-term derivatives are acquired throughout the hedging period such that maturing derivatives are replaced with new short-term derivatives.

The following table presents the Company’s Ultra-Long Treasury Futures derivatives, primary underlying risk exposure, gross notional amount, and estimated fair value of these derivatives:


		September 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
(Dollars in Millions)				Estimated Fair Value						Estimated Fair Value

The below table reflects the amounts of Gains (Losses) deferred into AOCI before taxes, net changes in amounts in AOCI associated with current hedging transactions, and amounts subsequently reclassified into Net (Loss) Income through Net Investment Income for Ultra-Long Treasury Futures qualifying as cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Treasury Locks

During the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2022, in anticipation of debt issuances shortly thereafter and for risk management purposes, the Company entered into derivative transactions (the “2016 Treasury Lock” and “2022 Treasury Lock,” together the “Treasury Locks”) to hedge the risk of changes in the debt cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark U.S. Treasury interest rate during the period leading up to the debt issuance.

The Treasury Locks have no remaining gross notional amount or fair value as the hedging relationships have been previously discontinued with the issuance of the associated debt (Senior Notes due February 15, 2025 for the 2016 Treasury Lock and Senior Notes due February 23, 2032 for the 2022 Treasury Lock). The effective portion of the gain or loss before taxes on the derivative instruments upon discontinuance was a $ 4.5 million loss for the 2016 Treasury Lock and a $ 5.9 million gain on the 2022 Treasury Lock. The gain or loss upon discontinuance is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Beginning with the issuance of the associated debt, such gain or loss is amortized into earnings and reported in Interest Expense in the same periods that the hedged items affect earnings.

During the first quarter of 2025, in conjunction with the redemption of the Senior Notes due February 15, 2025, the Company amortized the remaining $ 0.1 million of pre-tax derivative loss on the 2016 Treasury Lock into earnings. Pre-tax amortization on the 2022 Treasury Lock was $ 0.1 million and $ 0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining amount of pre-tax derivative gain on the 2022 Treasury Lock within AOCI to be amortized into earnings was $ 3.8 million.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges that are classified as Level 2 primarily consist of hedges to manage exposure to upcoming changes in the benchmark (Treasury) interest rate of forecasted transactions. 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, 2025. Valuations for assets presented in the tables below are primarily based on broker/dealer quotes for which there is a lack of transparency as to inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative detail of these unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably available to the Company. The weighted average yield is calculated based on fair value.

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 December 31, 2024. Valuations for assets presented in the tables below are primarily based on broker/dealer quotes for which there is a lack of transparency as to inputs used to develop the valuations. The quantitative detail of these unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably available to the Company. The weighted average yield is calculated based on fair value.

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 for callable securities the fair value increase is generally limited to par, unless security is currently callable at a premium.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The following table includes information related to the Company’s investments in certain private equity funds or hedge funds that calculate a net asset value per share:


Asset Class						Investment Category Includes
Mezzanine Debt						Funds with investments in junior or subordinated debt and potentially minority equity securities issued by private companies.
Senior Debt						Funds with investments in senior or first lien debt and potentially minority equity securities typically issued by private companies.
Distressed Debt						Funds with debt or minority equity investments that are made opportunistically in companies that are in or near default or under financial strain with potential to have an active role in restructuring the company.
Secondary Transactions						Funds that focus on purchasing third party fund interests from investors seeking liquidity within their own portfolio.
Hedge Fund						Funds that focus primarily on investing in public securities with strategy of generating uncorrelated returns to the public markets.
Leveraged Buyout						Funds with control equity investments in more mature, positive cash flowing, private companies that are typically purchased with the use of financial leverage.
Growth Equity						Funds that invest in early or venture stage companies with high growth potential with view towards generating realizations through sale or initial public offering of company.
Real Estate						Funds with investments in multi-family housing properties.
Other						Consists of direct investments of preferred equity or minority common equity investments into private companies structured as limited partnerships or limited liability companies.

Presented below are the carrying values and fair value estimates of financial instruments not carried at fair value.


		September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024
(Dollars in Millions)	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financial Assets:
Loans to Policyholders	Level 3	$	279.3	$	279.3	$	280.7	$	280.7
Short-term Investments	Level 1 or 2	371.2		371.2		1,037.1		1,037.1
Mortgage Loans	Level 3	148.2		148.2		75.3		75.3
Company-Owned Life Insurance	Level 2	567.9		567.9		539.2		539.2
Equity Securities at Modified Cost	Level 3	22.2		22.2		22.5		22.5
Financial Liabilities:
Long-term Debt	Level 2	$	943.1	$	864.6	$	1,391.6	$	1,278.4
Policyholder Obligations	Level 2	525.2		525.2		541.3		541.3

Loans to policyholders are carried at unpaid principal balance which approximates fair value and are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The nature of policy loans is to have a negligible default risk as the loans are fully collateralized by the value of the policy. Policy loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances and accrued interest are repaid either by the policyholder or with proceeds from the policy. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value. The fair value measurement of Short-term Investments is estimated using inputs that are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 measurements. The Mortgage Loans fair value measurement is considered equal to amortized cost given the short-term nature of the investments. The fair value measurement of Equity Securities at Modified Cost is estimated using inputs that are considered Level 3 measurements. The cash surrender value of Company-Owned Life Insurance approximates fair value and is considered to be a Level 2 investment. 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 Obligations 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 9 - Variable Interest Entities

A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity's operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect that entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Reciprocal Exchange

The Company has formed a management company that acts as attorney-in-fact (“AIF”) for Kemper Reciprocal (the “Reciprocal Exchange” or “Exchange”), an Illinois-domiciled reciprocal insurance exchange. The Exchange principally writes specialty personal automobile policies sold to subscribers of the Exchange. The establishment of Kemper Reciprocal was completed in the third quarter of 2023.

The Company consolidates the Exchange since (1) the AIF manages the business operations of the Exchange and therefore has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Exchange and (2) the Company has provided capital to the Exchange and would absorb any expected losses that could potentially be significant to the Exchange. The Exchange’s anticipated economic performance is the product of its underwriting and investment results. The AIF receives a management fee for the services provided to the Reciprocal Exchange. The management fee revenues are based upon all premiums written or assumed by the Exchange. The AIF determines the management fee rate to be paid by the Exchange. The AIF can charge a management fee of up to 30% of the Exchange’s gross written and assumed premiums.

The assets of the Reciprocal Exchange can be used only to settle the obligations of the Reciprocal Exchange for which creditors and other beneficial owners have no recourse to the Company. The Company has no obligation related to any underwriting and/or investment losses experienced by the Exchange. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had contributed $ 22.0 million of surplus to the Reciprocal Exchange. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company contributed an additional $ 7.0 million of surplus to the Reciprocal Exchange, resulting in a total contributed surplus of $ 29.0 million as of September 30, 2025. The effects of the transactions between the Company and the Reciprocal Exchange are eliminated in consolidation to derive consolidated Net (Loss) Income. However, the management fee income earned by the AIF is reported in Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation and is included in basic and diluted earnings per share.

Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Since the Company has no ownership interest in Kemper Reciprocal, the difference between the carrying value of the Exchange’s assets and liabilities represents noncontrolling interest and any income or loss generated by the net assets of the Exchange is presented as income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Alternative Energy Partnership

The Company invests in an Alternative Energy Partnership formed to provide sustainable energy projects that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. This entity was formed to invest in newly installed residential solar leases and power purchase agreements. As a result of this investment, the Company has the right to certain investment tax credits and tax depreciation benefits, and to a lesser extent, cash flows generated from the installed solar systems leased to individual consumers.

The Company’s interest in the Alternative Energy Partnership Investment is considered an investment in a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and therefore is not required to consolidate the VIE. The project sponsor governs the entity, and the Company only has consent rights that have been deemed protective in nature and does not participate in key economic decisions of the entity.

The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and included in Other Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the HLBV equity method to account for earnings and losses. This method provides an earnings allocation that appropriately reflects the substantive economics of the investment. Earnings and losses on the investment are reported in Other Income and investment tax credits are recognized in Income Tax (Benefit) Expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

Note 9 - Variable Interest Entities (Continued)

The Company’s maximum loss exposure in the event that all of the assets in the Alternative Energy Partnership are deemed worthless is $ 17.4 million and $ 17.6 million, which is the carrying value of the investment at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Note 10 - Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

1 Includes $ 0.7 million and $ 0.1 million attributable to Kemper Reciprocal as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is reported as a consolidated variable interest entity.

Costs directly associated with the successful acquisition of business, principally commissions and certain premium taxes and policy issuance costs, are deferred. Costs deferred on property and casualty insurance contracts are amortized over the period in which premiums are earned. Costs deferred on traditional life insurance products and other long-duration insurance contracts are amortized on a constant level basis over the expected life of the contracts in accordance with the assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policyholder benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts. The underlying assumptions for deferred policy acquisition costs and the liability for future policyholder benefits are updated concurrently.

The Company did not make any changes to future assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Note 13 - Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock Repurchases

On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $ 200.0 million of Kemper’s common stock, in addition to $ 133.3 million remaining under a prior authorization in 2014, bringing the remaining share repurchase authorization to approximately $ 333.3 million (the “2014 Repurchase Program”). On August 5, 2025, Kemper’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, under which the Company can repurchase up to $ 500.0 million of its common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Program”).

As of September 30, 2025, the 2014 Repurchase Program has been completed, and the remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program was $ 383.8 million.

On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase an aggregate of $ 150.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company made a payment of $ 150.0 million to Goldman Sachs, and on August 14, 2025, received initial deliveries of an aggregate of 2,279,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 80 % of the total shares that are expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price on August 13, 2025 of $ 52.65 per share.

The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The ASR Agreement was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction and forward stock purchase contract. The shares delivered were immediately retired, and the unsettled portion of the ASR Agreement was recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The forward stock purchase contract is considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and is classified as an equity instrument.

On October 13, 2025, as final settlement of the share repurchase transaction under the ASR Agreement, the Company received from Goldman Sachs approximately 615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In total, the Company repurchased 2,894,000 shares of its Common Stock under the ASR Agreement at $ 51.84 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement less a customary discount. The shares delivered were immediately retired.

In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,126,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $ 66.5 million and an average cost per share of $ 59.00 . In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,636,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $ 99.0 million and an average cost per share of $ 60.52 .

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 400,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $ 25.0 million and an average cost per share of $ 61.21 .

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 17,000 and 14,000 shares under the Kemper Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) at a discounted price of $ 43.82 and $ 52.06 per share, respectively. Compensation costs charged against income were $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 45,000 and 47,000 shares under the Kemper ESPP, respectively, at an average discounted price of $ 51.17 and $ 51.61 per share. Compensation costs charged against income were $ 0.4 million and $ 0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

FHLB Funding Agreements

Kemper’s subsidiary, United Insurance Company of America (“United Insurance”) has entered into funding agreements with the FHLB of Chicago in exchange for cash, which it uses for spread lending purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, United Insurance received advances of $ 30.0 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $ 46.1 million under the spread lending program.

When a funding agreement is issued, United Insurance is 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.

United Insurance’s liability under the funding agreements with the FHLB of Chicago, the amount of collateral pledged under such agreements and FHLB of Chicago common stock owned by United Insurance at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is presented below.

Note 18 - Income Taxes

The statute of limitations related to Kemper and its eligible subsidiaries’ consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2011 as well as 2018 and 2019. As a result of the Company filing amended federal income tax returns, tax years 2012 and 2013 are under limited examination with respect to carryback adjustments associated with the amended returns. Tax years 2020 and 2022 are currently under examination and will remain open until the examination is complete. The statute of limitations related to tax years 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 has been extended to December 31, 2026. Tax years 2021, 2022, and 2023 are subject to a statute of three years from the extended due dates of October 15, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the various state income tax returns that Kemper and its subsidiaries file varies by state.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed, enacting significant changes to federal tax law. The OBBBA includes, among other provisions, extension and modification of various provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental costs, accelerated depreciation, compensation-related items, and the repeal of certain clean energy tax credits. The Company has evaluated the impacts of the OBBBA, which were not material to the consolidated financial statements, and will continue to monitor developments as further information becomes available.

The interim period tax expense or benefit is the difference between the year-to-date income tax provision and the amounts reported for the previous interim periods of the fiscal year. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the income tax benefit attributable to Kemper Corporation was $ 7.9 million, or 27.3 % of income before income taxes, compared to an income tax expense of $ 18.9 million, or 20.4 % of income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the income tax expense attributable to Kemper Corporation was $ 34.0 million, or 18.3 % of income before income taxes, compared to an income tax expense of $ 53.4 million, or 19.5 % of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

There were no Unrecognized Tax Benefits at September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. There were no liabilities for accrued interest and penalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, federal income taxes paid, net of income tax refunds received, were $ 20.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, federal income taxes paid, net of income tax refunds received, were $ 9.9 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, state income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $ 1.7 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively. No foreign income taxes were paid or refunded for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of its businesses, the Company is involved in legal proceedings including lawsuits, arbitration, regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries. 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this report, the Company presents certain measures of its performance on a consolidated and segment basis that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding for the Company and our investors of our performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. Segment-specific financial measures are calculated using only the portion of consolidated results attributable to that specific segment.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income

The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of 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. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation the after-tax impact of:

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

(ii) Net Realized Investment Gains;

(iii) Impairment Losses;

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

(v) Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges;

(vi) Goodwill Impairment Charges;

(vii) Non-Core Operations; and

(viii) 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. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.

Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment Gains 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. Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction Costs, Integration Costs, and Restructuring 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. In the third quarter of 2025, a restructuring program was launched to achieve operational and organizational efficiencies. The Company will continue to evaluate additional efficiency opportunities through 2027. Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Other Charges relate to (i) loss from early extinguishment of debt, which 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; (ii) settlement of pension plan obligations which are business decisions made by the Company, the timing of which is unrelated to the underwriting process; and (iii) other charges that are non-standard, not part of the ordinary course of business, and unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Goodwill Impairment Charges are excluded because they are infrequent and non-recurring charges. Non-Core Operations includes the results of our Preferred Insurance business which we expect to fully exit. These results are excluded because they are irrelevant to our ongoing operations and do not qualify for Discontinued Operations under GAAP. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s business or economic trends.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)

Underlying Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses (“LAE”) and Underlying Combined Ratio

The following discussion 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 Ratio, 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.

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.

Summary of Results

Net Loss Attributable to Kemper Corporation was $21.0 million ($(0.34) per unrestricted common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Net Income Attributable to Kemper Corporation of $73.7 million ($1.15 per unrestricted common share) for the same period in 2024.

Net Income attributable to Kemper Corporation was $151.3 million ($2.40 per unrestricted common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Net Income attributable to Kemper Corporation of $220.4 million ($3.43 per unrestricted common share) for the same period in 2024.

Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation

Net Income (Loss) attributable to Kemper Corporation decreased by $94.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to lower Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income decreased by $84.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mostly driven by our Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment due primarily to a higher Underlying Combined Ratio and higher adverse prior year development on bodily injury coverages within commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases.

The loss from Non-Core Operations increased by $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to $21.7 million of impairment losses recognized on Internal-Use Software assets reported as Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the business continues run-off, partially offset by lower catastrophe losses and lower adverse prior year development. Additionally, on August 1, 2025, certain Company subsidiaries entered into a renewal rights agreement with a third party and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Third Party”) whereby the Third Party will offer replacement policies for certain policies written by the Company’s subsidiaries in New York after the expiration of their current term. Execution of the terms of the agreement is contingent upon the granting of regulatory approvals by the New York Department of Financial Services.

Corporate and Other Adjusted Net Operating Loss decreased by $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by lower interest expense due to the redemption of $450 million of 4.350% senior notes.

Net Income (Loss) attributable to Kemper Corporation decreased by $69.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to lower Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income.

Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income decreased by $55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to a deterioration in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s

Summary of Results (Continued)

Underlying Combined Ratio and higher adverse prior year development on bodily injury coverages within commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases. This was partially offset by increased Life Insurance segment earnings driven by higher net investment income and a reduction in policyholders’ benefits and insurance expenses. Life Insurance segment results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included an $11.9 million after-tax loss from an investment valuation adjustment on one real estate investment from our alternative investment portfolio.

The loss from Non-Core Operations increased by $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to $21.7 million of impairment losses on Internal-Use Software assets reported as Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, partially offset by lower adverse prior year development as the business continues to run-off.

Corporate and Other Adjusted Net Operating Loss decreased by $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by lower interest expense due to the redemption of $450 million of 4.350% senior notes.

Revenues

Total Revenues increased by $60.8 million to $1,239.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,178.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher earned premiums.

Earned Premiums increased by $64.8 million to $1,133.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1,068.5 for the same period in 2024, primarily driven by a $98.3 million increase from the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases. This was partially offset by a $32.7 million reduction in premiums from our Preferred Insurance business, reported as Non-Core Operations, due primarily to lower volumes resulting from the exit and run-off of the business.

Net Investment Income decreased by $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mostly driven by decreased earnings on alternative investments and lower levels and yields from Short-term investments, partially offset by higher earnings on Company Owned Life Insurance.

Net Realized Investment Gains increased by $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased gains on sales of fixed maturity investments.

Impairment losses increased by $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Total Revenues increased by $206.5 million to $3,658.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,451.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher earned premiums.

Earned Premiums increased by $217.9 million to $3,352.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3,134.1 for the same period in 2024, primarily driven by a $368.7 million increase from the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases, partially offset by a $152.1 million reduction in premiums from our Preferred Insurance business, reported as Non-Core Operations, due primarily to lower volumes resulting from the exit and run-off of the business.

Net Investment Income decreased by $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mostly driven by lower levels and yields from fixed maturity securities and lower yields from Short-term investments, partially offset by higher earnings on Company-Owned Life Insurance and increased earnings on alternative investments.

Net Realized Investment Gains decreased by $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to decreased gains on sales of fixed maturity and equity securities, partially offset by the absence of net realized losses on ultra-long treasury future derivatives transactions that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Overall

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Same Period in 2024

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to Total Segment Adjusted Net Operating Income of $103.6 million for the same period in 2024. Segment adjusted net operating results decreased by $96.0 million that included a $69.9 million and $26.1 million decrease from personal automobile and commercial automobile insurance, respectively, due primarily to an increase in the Underlying Combined Ratio for personal automobile insurance and higher adverse prior year development in commercial automobile insurance, partially offset by growth from rate increases.

Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $98.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases and higher commercial automobile volumes.

Net Investment Income in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher levels of invested assets resulting from growth.

Incurred Loss and LAE were $851.1 million or 83.7% of earned premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $647.9 million or 70.5% of earned premiums, for the same period in 2024. Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased primarily due to deterioration in the underlying loss and LAE ratio and increased adverse prior year development. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 78.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a deterioration of 8.4 percentage points, compared to the same period in 2024 driven by higher loss costs primarily resulting from higher claim severity and frequency in bodily injury and property damage coverages within personal automobile insurance, that were partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure (10.3% increase year over year). Underlying losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and prior year loss and LAE reserve development. Adverse prior year loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe reserve development) was $51.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to adverse development of $0.1 million for the same period in 2024, a deterioration of $51.3 million due primarily to evolving loss patterns within bodily injury coverages within our Commercial Automobile product line. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2024, an improvement of $2.6 million due to fewer catastrophe events and lower severity per event in the current period.

Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance (Continued)

Insurance Expenses were $214.6 million, or 21.1% of earned premiums, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $194.9 million, or 21.2% of earned premiums for the same period in 2024. Insurance Expenses increased $19.7 million primarily due to higher expenses associated with increased business volumes.

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s three months ended September 30, 2025 effective tax rate was 3.1% compared to 20.3% for the same period in 2024. The effective income tax rate for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance, tax-exempt investment income and nondeductible expenses. The change in the effective tax rate from the third quarter of 2024 is due to a decrease in pre-tax income while the net favorable tax adjustments have remained consistent.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Same Period in 2024

Segment adjusted net operating results decreased by $90.6 million which included a $58.3 million decrease from personal automobile insurance and a $32.3 million decrease from commercial automobile insurance. The decrease in personal automobile Adjusted Net Operating Income was primarily driven by higher underlying losses. The decrease in commercial automobile insurance Adjusted Net Operating Income was primarily driven by higher adverse prior year development.

Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $368.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases and higher commercial automobile volumes.

Incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased primarily due to a deterioration in the underlying loss and LAE ratio and adverse prior year development. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 74.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a deterioration of 3.6 percentage point, compared to the same period in 2024 due to increased claim severity and frequency in personal automobile primarily related to bodily injury and property damage coverages, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure (11.8% increase year over year). 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 $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to adverse development of $5.2 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $60.9 million due primarily to evolving loss patterns on bodily injury coverages in commercial automobile and higher than expected development on litigated matters. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding reserve development) were $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $18.0 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $7.9 million due to fewer catastrophe events and lower severity per event in the current period.

The increase in the effective tax rate from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is driven by an increase in pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in investments in Company-Owned Life Insurance and Tax-Exempt Investment Income.

Impairment Losses

The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether a decline in the fair value of an investment has occurred from credit or other, non-credit related factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit factors and the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to support the entire amortized cost basis, the credit loss is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income in the period that the declines are evaluated. Conversely, an increase in the fair value or disposal of an investment with a previously established credit allowance will result in the reversal of impairment losses reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income in the period.

On May 6, 2020, Kemper’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of Kemper common stock, in addition to the $133.3 million remaining under a previous authorization in 2014 (the “2014 Repurchase Program”). Additionally, on August 5, 2025, Kemper’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization,

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Program”). In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $219.0 million of shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2025, the 2014 Repurchase Program has been completed and the remaining share repurchase authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program was $383.8 million. The amount and timing of any future share repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program will depend on various factors, including market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, available liquidity, particular circumstances and other considerations.

On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) to repurchase an aggregate of $150.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company made a payment of $150.0 million to Goldman Sachs, and on August 14, 2025, received and retired initial deliveries of 2,279,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 80% of the total shares that are expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement, based on the closing price on August 13, 2025 of $52.65 per share.

On October 13, 2025, as final settlement of the share repurchase transaction under the ASR Agreement, the Company received from Goldman Sachs approximately 615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In total, the Company repurchased 2,894,000 shares of its Common Stock under the ASR Agreement at $51.84 per share, which represents the volume-weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement less a customary discount. The shares delivered were immediately retired.

In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,126,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $66.5 million and an average cost per share of $59.00. In addition to the ASR Agreement repurchases, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 1,636,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase authorizations for an aggregate cost of $99.0 million and an average cost per share of $60.52.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Kemper repurchased and retired approximately 400,000 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase authorization for an aggregate cost of $25.0 million and an average cost per share of $61.21.

Dividends to Shareholders

Kemper paid a quarterly dividend of $0.32 and $0.31 per common share in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends and dividend equivalents paid were $60.7 million and $60.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Subsidiary Dividends

Various insurance laws restrict the ability of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws applicable to the Company’s US based insurance subsidiaries 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’s insurance subsidiaries paid $433.9 million of dividends to Kemper during the first nine months of 2025. As of the filing date, Kemper’s US based insurance subsidiaries do not have remaining capacity to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval.

Sources and Uses of Funds

The Company directly held cash and investments totaling $156.8 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $547.6 million at December 31, 2024.

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, 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 and Dallas, and capital contributions from Kemper. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

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 and Dallas.

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 can 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 insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may be sold to fund payments, which could result in 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.

Information about the Company’s cash flows for nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented below.


(Dollars in Millions)	Sep 30, 2025		Sep 30, 2024
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	409.5	$	207.8
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities	413.4		(89.6)
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities	(780.9)		(125.4)

Cash available for investment activities is dependent on cash flow from Operating Activities and Financing Activities and the level of cash the Company elects to maintain.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by Operating Activities was $409.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash provided of $207.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by Operating Activities was primarily driven by growth from our Specialty Property & Casualty business due to higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases and timing of claim payments. This was partially offset by lower business volumes and timing of claim payments within Non-Core Operations resulting from the exit and run-off of the Preferred Insurance business.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by Investing Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $413.4 million, compared to net cash used of $89.6 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by Investing Activities was primarily due to proceeds from sales of short term investments that were primarily used to fund the redemption of the $450.0 million 4.350% Senior Notes due February 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). This was partially offset by an increase in net purchases of Fixed Maturity investments as a result of normal portfolio management.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in Financing Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $780.9 million, compared to net cash used of $125.4 million for the same period in 2024. This increase in net cash used by Financing Activities was primarily due to the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2025 and common stock repurchases made during the second and third quarter of 2025.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Kemper’s subsidiaries conduct their operations in two industries: property and casualty insurance and life 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.

Critical Accounting Estimates (Continued)

The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of life insurance reserves, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s significant 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 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of Part II of the 2024 Annual Report. Accordingly, no disclosures about market risk have been made in Item 3 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of Kemper’s Interim 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 Interim 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 Interim 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.

On August 5, 2025, Kemper’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock (the “2025 Repurchase Program”).
