Press Release
Kemper Reports First Quarter 2026 Operating Results*
CHICAGO, May 6, 2026 — Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR) reported a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.03) per share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $99.7 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 was $12.5 million, or $0.21 per share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 of $106.4 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.
Summary of quarterly performance:
•Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 of $12.5 million or $0.21 per share
•Specialty Personal Automobile’s operating results impacted by losses in California; taking rate and non-rate actions to improve profitability
•Specialty Commercial Automobile grew PIF at 10% YoY while producing an Underlying Combined Ratio1 of 92.4%
•Life business generated solid results driven by underwriting performance and management actions
•Restructuring initiatives well underway with $60 million run-rate savings identified and $50 million already actioned
“Our results this quarter reflect continued pressure in parts of the business, particularly California personal auto, while other areas of the portfolio are performing well and contributing positively,” said C. Thomas Evans, Jr., Interim CEO. “This includes strong results in our commercial auto business and continued personal auto diversification into key markets like Florida and Texas. We are taking decisive actions across underwriting, claims, and expense to return the business to profitability and drive more consistent performance over time.”
*Unless otherwise specified, discussion of our first quarter 2026 results is focused on net income attributable to Kemper Corporation common shareholders, which does not include financial results from Kemper Reciprocal that are presented within the condensed consolidated financial results in this release. The results of Kemper Reciprocal are consolidated under US GAAP.
1 Non-GAAP financial measure. All Non-GAAP financial measures are denoted with footnote 1 throughout this release. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

Revenues
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 decreased $85.8 million to $1,107.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily due to lower Specialty Personal Automobile volumes, a $28.0 million Florida Statutory Profit Limit Refund in the Specialty Property & Casualty Insurance segment, and a $12.7 million reduction in earned premiums from Non-Core Operations given the run-off of the Preferred Insurance business.

The Specialty Property and Casualty Insurance segment reported adjusted net operating income of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted net operating income of $97.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was due primarily to an increase in our Specialty Personal Automobile Underlying loss and LAE ratio1. Specialty Personal Automobile’s Underlying loss and LAE ratio1 was 87.7 percent, compared to 70.1 percent in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher claim severity and frequency in California, lower business volumes, as well as a $28.0 million Florida Statutory Profit Limit Refund, partially offset by higher average earned premiums per exposure resulting from rate increases.
The Life Insurance segment reported adjusted net operating income of $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted net operating income of $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by lower Insurance Expenses and higher Earned Premiums, partially offset by higher Policyholders’ Benefits from life insurance products.

Capital
Total Kemper Corporation Shareholders’ Equity as of March 31, 2026 was $2,649.6 million, a decrease of $31.8 million, or 1 percent, since year-end 2025 primarily driven by comprehensive losses and dividend payments. Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries ended the quarter with cash and investments of $80.2 million, and $600.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit agreement.
On February 4, 2026, Kemper announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share, or $18.3 million. The dividend was paid on March 3, 2026, to its shareholders of record as of February 17, 2026.
Kemper ended the quarter with a book value per share of $45.05, a decrease of 1 percent from $45.71 at the end of 2025. Adjusted book value per share1 was $27.79 at the end of the quarter, compared to $28.06 at the end of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 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. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that Kemper excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
10
Kemper believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income1 provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment Gains and Impairment Losses related to investments included in Kemper’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 Kemper’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, 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 Kemper’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 Kemper, 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of Kemper’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 profitability of Kemper’s businesses.

Diluted Adjusted Net Operating Income per Unrestricted Share1 is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing Adjusted Net Operating Income1 by the weighted-average unrestricted shares and equivalent shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Unrestricted Share.
A reconciliation of Diluted Net Operating (Loss) Income per Unrestricted Share to Diluted Adjusted Net Operating Income per Unrestricted Share1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is presented below.

Return on Adjusted Shareholders' Equity1 is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing the period’s annualized net income attributable to Kemper Corporation by the average shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill. Return on Shareholders’ Equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use this non-GAAP measure to identify and analyze the change in performance attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers.

2 Average shareholders' equity and average adjusted shareholders’ equity is the simple average of the beginning and ending balances for the period. Average shareholders’ equity and average adjusted shareholders’ equity on a year-to-date basis is (a) the sum of the balance at the beginning of the year and the ending balance for each quarter within that year divided by (b) the number of quarters in the period presented plus one.
Underlying Combined Ratio1 is a non-GAAP financial measure. It 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.
Kemper believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in Kemper’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause Kemper’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 Kemper’s insurance products in the current period. Kemper believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing Kemper’s underwriting performance.

Adjusted Book Value Per Share1 is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Kemper uses the trends in book value per share excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth excluding goodwill attributable to management efforts between periods. Kemper believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. Kemper believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers.

Kemper Corporation
Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company believes that investors’ understanding of Kemper’s performance is enhanced by the disclosure of the following non-GAAP financial measures. The methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
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 (Losses);
(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. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation. 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, 2026 or 2025.
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. Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses) 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, Integration, 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). 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 profitability of the Company’s businesses.

Kemper Corporation
Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)
Return on Adjusted Shareholders' Equity is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing the period’s annualized Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation by the average shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill. Return on Shareholders' Equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use this non-GAAP measure to identify and analyze the change in performance attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. The Company believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. The “Return on Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity” metric was referred to as “Return on Tangible Shareholders’ Equity” in prior periods.

1Average shareholders' equity and average adjusted shareholders’ equity for the three months ended is the simple average of the beginning and ending balances for the period. Average shareholders’ equity and average adjusted shareholders’ equity on a year-to-date basis is the (a) the sum of the balance at the beginning of the year and the ending balance for each quarter within that year divided by (b) the number of quarters in the period presented plus one.
Underlying Combined Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. It 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.

Adjusted Book Value Per Share is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company uses the trends in book value per share excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth excluding goodwill attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management.

Earnings Call Presentation – 1Q 2026 Non-GAAP Financial Measures 17 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. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation. 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, 2026 or 2025. 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. 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, Integration, 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). 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 profitability of the Company’s businesses. Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income Per Unrestricted Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is computed by dividing Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income by the weighted average unrestricted shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation per Unrestricted Share - basic. The Company believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income Per Unrestricted Share 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 from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Investment Gains, Impairment Losses related to investments, Acquisition and Disposition Related Transaction, Integration, Restructuring and Other Costs, Debt Extinguishment, Pension Settlement and Goodwill Impairment Charges 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.
Earnings Call Presentation – 1Q 2026 Non-GAAP Financial Measures 18 Return on Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing the period’s annualized Net (Loss) Income attributable to Kemper Corporation by the average shareholders’ equity excluding net unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill. Return on Shareholders’ Equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use this non- GAAP measure to identify and analyze the change in performance attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. The Company believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. Adjusted Book Value Per Share is a calculation that uses a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill by total Common Shares Issued and Outstanding. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company uses the trends in book value per share excluding the after-tax impact of net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, the change in discount rate on future life policyholder benefits and goodwill in conjunction with book value per share to identify and analyze the change in net worth excluding goodwill attributable to management efforts between periods. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally driven by economic developments, primarily capital market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are not influenced by management. The Company believes it enhances understanding and comparability of performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. Underlying Combined Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. It 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.
