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, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”), 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, 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;

•Liabilities, costs and other impacts arising from developments related to cybersecurity, privacy and data governance, including, without limitation, cyber incidents that have occurred or could 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 (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;

•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, broader definitions of liability, 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;

•Difficulties with technology, data and network security (including as a result of cyber attacks that have occurred or could occur), outsourcing relationships or cloud-based technology that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to conduct business, a heightened risk when substantial numbers of employees shift to work from home arrangements, such as the arrangements implemented for a vast majority of the Company’s employees and some business partners during the COVID-19 pandemic;

•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 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 phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) reference rates beginning 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;

•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 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 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 interim 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 intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 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 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 to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The preparation of interim 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, as well as market conditions and the impacts of COVID-19, annualizing the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 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, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has elected to display its investments in Alternative Energy Partnerships in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Change in Value of Alternative Energy Partnership Investments and Alternative Energy Partnership Investments, respectively. These were previously reported in Net Investment Income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and in Equity Method Limited Liability Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Impacts to prior period presentation are not material.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

Guidance Adopted in 2021

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 adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material effect on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated 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 adoption of ASU 2020-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated 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 ASU 2020-04 did not have a material effect 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 adoption of ASU 2020-08 did not have a material effect on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. In November 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-11 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2018-12 by one year for public business entities. ASU 2018-12 is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, 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, judgments and methods used in the measurement. The Company plans to adopt using the modified retrospective transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Note 2 - Net Income Per Unrestricted Share

The Company’s awards of deferred stock units granted to Kemper’s non-employee directors prior to 2019 contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Accordingly, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share.

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 three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company increased its property and casualty insurance reserves by $0.1 million to recognize adverse development of loss and LAE reserves from prior accident years. Specialty personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $4.0 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for liability insurance. Commercial automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $3.0 million due primarily to the emergence of more adverse loss patterns than expected for liability insurance. Preferred personal automobile insurance loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $1.3 million due primarily to the emergence of more adverse patterns than expected for liability insurance. Homeowners loss and LAE reserves developed favorably by $2.6 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected. Other lines loss and LAE reserves developed adversely by $2.3 million due primarily to the emergence of more adverse loss patterns than expected for prior accident years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company decreased its property and casualty insurance reserves by $0.9 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 $18.0 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 $12.5 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 $2.1 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 $5.0 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 $1.8 million due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for the 2018 and 2017 accident years.

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 Condensed Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 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.

Equity Securities

Investments in Equity Securities at Fair Value were $897.4 million and $858.5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Net unrealized gains arising during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and recognized in earnings, related to such investments still held as of March 31, 2021, were $56.5 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 Company has recognized $0.5 million of cumulative decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions, no cumulative increases in the carrying value due to observable transactions and $6.7 million of cumulative impairments on Equity Securities at Modified Cost held as of March 31, 2021.

There were no unsettled sales or purchases of Investments in Equity Securities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Equity Method Limited Liability Investments

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 March 31, 2021 is limited to the total carrying value of $219.2 million.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company classifies its investments in Fixed Maturities as available-for-sale and reports these investments at fair value. The Company reports equity investments with readily determinable fair values as Equity Securities at Fair Value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value practical expedient are not required to be classified using the fair value hierarchy, but are presented in the following two tables to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The valuation of assets measured at fair value in Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021 is summarized below.

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 March 31, 2021.

Note 6 - 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.

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 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 7 - Variable Interest Entities

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 for a fixed period of time.

The Company’s interest in Alternative Energy Partnership Investments is considered an investment in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). To determine whether the investment should be consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the 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 Alternative Energy Partnership Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the accounting methodology known as Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) 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 Change in Value of Alternative Energy Partnership Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table presents information regarding activity in the Company’s Alternative Energy Partnership Investments as of the periods indicated:

Note 10 - Pension Benefits and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) that covers approximately 3,175 participants and beneficiaries. Effective January 1, 2006, the Pension Plan was closed to new hires and, effective June 30, 2016, benefit accruals were frozen for substantially all of the participants under the Pension Plan. The Pension Plan is generally non-contributory, but participation requires or required some employees to contribute 3% of pay, as defined, per year. Benefits for participants who are or were required to contribute to the Pension Plan are based on compensation during plan participation and the number of years of participation. Benefits for the vast majority of participants who are not required to contribute to the Pension Plan are based on years of service and final average pay, as defined. The Company funds the Pension Plan in accordance with the requirements of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The components of Pension Income for the Pension Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were:

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 three months ended March 31, 2021, United Insurance received advances of $60.5 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $60.8 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.

Amended and Extended Credit Agreement and Term Loan Facility

On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and extended credit agreement and term loan facility. The amended and extended credit agreement increased the borrowing capacity of the existing unsecured credit agreement to $300.0 million and extended the maturity date to June 8, 2023. On June 4, 2019, the Company utilized the accordion feature under the credit agreement to increase its credit borrowing capacity by $100.0 million, resulting in the available credit commitments increasing from $300.0 million to $400.0 million. The Company incurred $0.1 million in additional debt issuance costs in connection with the utilization of the accordion feature, which, in addition to the $0.8 million of remaining unamortized costs under the credit agreement, is being amortized over the remaining term of the credit agreement. There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement at either March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Long-term Debt

The Company designates debt obligations as either short-term or long-term based on maturity date at issuance, or in the case of the 2022 Senior Notes, based on the date of assumption.

Total amortized cost of Long-term Debt outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was:

Note 14 - 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 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. The statute of limitations related to tax years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 has been extended to March 31, 2022. Tax years 2018 and 2019 are subject to a statute of three years from the extended due dates of October 15, 2019 and 2020, 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.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, were less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Note 15 - 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.

AAC, headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, provides specialty private passenger auto insurance in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, and Texas. AAC wrote over $350.0 million of direct premiums in 2020 through a network of approximately 600 independent agents and over 110 captive agents.

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

Summary of Results

Net Income was $123.2 million ($1.88 per unrestricted common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $64.0 million ($0.96 per unrestricted common share) for the same period in 2020.

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 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.

Net Income

Net Income increased by $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due primarily to income from change in fair value of equity and convertible securities, partially offset by lower Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income. Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income decreased by $75.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due primarily to lower Corporate and Other Net Operating Income, Life & Health Insurance Segment Net Operating Income, and Preferred Property & Casualty 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

Summary of Results (continued)

decreased due primarily to a gain recognized in 2020 for the satisfaction of the remaining balance of a final judgment received by the Company against CSC in connection with an arbitration award against Computer Sciences Corporation(the “CSC Judgment”). The Company’s investment results were favorable in 2021, compared to 2020, by a $134.3 million after-tax increase from the change in fair value of the equity and convertible securities and a $6.3 million after-tax decrease from impairment losses, partially offset by a $2.1 million after-tax decrease from net realized gains on sales of investments. See MD&A, “Investment Results,” for additional discussion.

Revenues

Earned Premiums were $1,200.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1,166.4 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $34.4 million. Earned Premiums in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $55.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Earned Premiums in the Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance segments decreased by $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. 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 increased by $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due primarily to an increase in return from Alternative Investments and higher levels of investments in fixed income securities, partially offset by lower yields on fixed income securities.

Loss from the change in value of Alternative Energy Partnership Investments was $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Limited Liability Investments increased by $20.7 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 increased by $0.7 million.

Other Income was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $90.3 million for the same period in 2020. Other Income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included a gain of $89.4 million related to the satisfaction of the CSC Judgment.

Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments were $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2020.

Impairment Losses were $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $12.0 million for the same period in 2020.

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 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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)

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 Income from Continuing Operations 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) Debt Extinguishment, Pension and Other Charges; 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 Income from Continuing Operations. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.

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. Acquisition Related Transaction and Integration 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. Debt Extinguishment, Pension 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 are 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. 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.

Overall

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Same Period in 2020

The Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Segment Net Operating Income of $80.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $60.1 million for the same period in 2020. Segment Net Operating Income increased by $20.0 million due primarily to an improvement in underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, favorable loss reserve development, and higher net investment income, partially offset by the impact of higher insurance expense and loss from change in value of Alternative Energy Partnership Investments. 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 $55.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, driven primarily by higher volume.

Earned Premiums in the Preferred Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due primarily to lower volume.

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 maintained by the Social Security Administration 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.

Overall

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Same Period in 2020

Earned Premiums in the Life & Health Insurance segment decreased by $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due primarily to lower volume on accident and health insurance products and property insurance sold, partially offset by higher persistency on life insurance products.

Loss related to Alternative Energy Partnership Investments was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and LAE increased by $18.0 million in 2021, compared to 2020, due primarily to higher mortality for life insurance claims related to COVID-19, the impact of reducing the Company’s estimate of the ultimate cost of using death verification databases in the Company’s operations in 2020, and higher property insurance

catastrophe losses. This was partially offset by lower frequency of accident and health insurance claims primarily due to COVID-19.

Insurance Expenses in the Life & Health Insurance segment increased by $3.4 million in 2021, compared to 2020, due primarily to investments made to modernize and strengthen the distribution channel and enhance the capabilities of the business, partially offset by lower amortization of commission-related expenses due primarily to higher persistency on life insurance products.

Segment Net Operating Income in the Life & Health Insurance segment was $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $22.3 million in 2020.

Underlying losses and LAE were $3.2 million, or 20.6% of earned premiums in 2021, compared to $4.0 million, or 24.3% of earned premiums in 2020, a decrease of 3.7 percentage points due primarily to lower claim frequency. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding loss reserve development) were $1.9 million in 2021, compared to $0.8 million in 2020. Catastrophe losses and LAE increased $1.1 million due primarily to a higher frequency of catastrophe claims. Adverse loss and LAE reserve development was $1.2 million in 2021, compared to favorable development of $0.3 million in 2020. Insurance expenses increased $1.4 million in 2021, compared to 2020.

Investment Quality and Concentrations

The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio is comprised primarily of high-grade municipal, corporate and agency bonds. At March 31, 2021, 94% 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.

Insurance Expenses

Insurance Expenses were $283.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $271.6 million for the same period in 2020. Insurance Expenses increased by $12.1 million in 2021 due primarily to growth in business.

Interest and Other Expenses

Interest and Other Expenses was $57.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $44.5 million for the same period in 2020. Interest expense increased by $3.6 million in 2021 due primarily to the addition of the 2030 Senior Notes in 2020. Other expenses increased by $9.1 million in 2021.

Income Taxes

The federal corporate statutory income tax rate was 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal corporate income tax rate due primarily to (1) the effects of tax-exempt investment income, (2) nontaxable income associated with the change in cash surrender value on COLI, (3) Alternative Energy Partnership Investment tax credits, (4) 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 (5) a permanent difference associated with nondeductible executive compensation.

Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions collectively were $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2020.

The nontaxable increase in cash surrender value on COLI was $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2020.

The Company realized net investment tax credits of $25.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. No investment tax credits were realized for the same period in 2020.

The amount of expense recognized for long-term equity-based compensation expense under GAAP was $1.5 million lower than the amount that would be deductible under the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $6.7 million lower for the same period in 2020.

Income Taxes (continued)

The amount of nondeductible executive compensation was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2020.

The 2022 Senior Notes were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, $282.1 million, with the $7.1 million premium being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term, resulting in an effective interest rate of 4.36%.

4.350% Senior Notes Due 2025

Kemper has $450.0 million aggregate principal of 4.350% senior notes due February 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”) outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Kemper initially issued $250.0 million of the notes in February of 2015 and issued an additional $200 million of the notes in June of 2017. The additional notes are fungible with the initial notes issued in 2015, and together are treated as part of a single series for all purposes under the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes. The 2025 Senior Notes are unsecured and may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time at Kemper’s option at specified redemption prices.

2.400% Senior Notes Due 2030

On September 22, 2020, Kemper offered and sold $400.0 million aggregate principal of 2.400% senior notes due September 30, 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds of issuance were $395.8 million, net of discount and transaction costs for an effective yield of 2.52%. The 2030 Senior Notes are unsecured and may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time at Kemper’s option at specified redemption prices. Kemper is using the net proceeds from the issuance for general corporate purposes.

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 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying value of FHLB of Dallas common stock was $3.4 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying value of FHLB of San Francisco common stock was $1.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 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 three months of 2021, United Insurance received advances of $60.5 million from the FHLB of Chicago and made repayments of $60.8 million. United Insurance had outstanding advances from the FHLB of Chicago totaling $407.5 million at March 31, 2021. 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.

With respect to these advances, United Insurance held pledged securities in a custodial account with the FHLB of Chicago with a fair value of $510.5 million at March 31, 2021. 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 Obligations,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the United Insurance advances and related funding agreements.

Common Stock Repurchases

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 $243.7 million remaining under the previous authorization. The Company repurchased approximately $110.4 million and $47.1 million in 2020 and 2021, respectively, so that, as of March 31, 2021, the remaining share repurchase authorization was $286.2 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Dividends to Shareholders

Kemper paid a quarterly dividend to shareholders of $0.31 per common share in the first quarter of 2021. Cash dividends paid were $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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’s direct insurance subsidiaries collectively paid $115.0 million in dividends to Kemper during the first three months of 2021. Kemper estimates that its direct insurance subsidiaries would be able to pay approximately $296.1 million in additional dividends to Kemper during the remainder of 2021 without prior regulatory approval.

Sources and Uses of Funds

Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries directly held cash and investments totaling $607.1 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $733.2 million at December 31, 2020.

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 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 $140.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $62.3 million for the same period in 2020.

Net Cash Used by Financing Activities was $111.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash provided of $8.2 million for the same period in 2020. Repayments of long-term debt used $50.0 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Policyholder Obligations used $0.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash provided of $120.4 million for the same period of 2020. Cash of $42.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was used to repurchase common stock, compared to $95.9 million used for the same period of 2020. Kemper used $21.0 million of cash to pay dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $20.0 million of cash used to pay dividends in the same period of 2020. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.31 per common share for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $0.30 per common share in the same period of 2020.

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 Provided by Investing Activities was $311.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $94.0 million for the same period in 2020. Short-term investing activities provided $677.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to cash provided of $301.8 million for

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 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the 2020 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 2020 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 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.
