Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Horace Mann Educators Corporation (“HMEC”; and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Horace Mann”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), specifically Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP but are not required for interim reporting purposes have been omitted. The Company believes that these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (2) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The subsidiaries of HMEC market and underwrite personal lines of property and casualty (primarily personal lines automobile and homeowners) insurance, retirement annuities (primarily tax-qualified products) and life insurance, primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families. HMEC’s principal operating subsidiaries are Horace Mann Life Insurance Company, Horace Mann Insurance Company, Teachers Insurance Company, Horace Mann Property & Casualty Insurance Company and Horace Mann Lloyds. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform with the 2016 presentation. See “Adopted Accounting Standards”.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents the accumulated change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-shareholder sources.

Comparative information for elements that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period is located in “Note 2 — Investments — Unrealized Gains and Losses on Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities”. Adopted Accounting Standards Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance which was issued to simplify the presentation of costs incurred to issue debt securities. The guidance requires debt issuance costs associated with specific debt securities to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Costs incurred related to line of credit arrangements continue to be presented as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet. Also, the guidance does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The guidance required retrospective application. As a result of this adoption, the following items in the Company’s December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet were each reduced by $2,371: Other Assets, Total Assets, Long-term Debt, Total Liabilities and Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity. Net income per share (basic and diluted) did not change as a result of the adopted accounting change.
