are used by the Company's management to evaluate performance against historical results and establish targets on a consolidated
basis. A number of these measures are components of net income or the balance sheet but, in some cases, may be considered non-GAAP
financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheet, and in some cases, there is inclusion or exclusion of certain items not ordinarily
included or excluded in a GAAP financial measure. In the opinion of the Company's management, a discussion of these measures is
meaningful to provide investors with an understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company's periodic results of
operations and financial condition.</P>

non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period

which are generally not influenced by the Company&rsquo;s underlying insurance operations.</P>

losses and property and casualty catastrophe reinsurance reinstatement premiums.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Catastrophe losses</B> - In categorizing
property and casualty claims as being from a catastrophe, the Company utilizes the designations of the Property Claim Services,
a subsidiary of Insurance Services Office, Inc., and additionally beginning in 2007, includes losses from all such events that
meet the definition of covered loss in the Company&rsquo;s primary catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance contract, and reports
claims and claim expense amounts net of reinsurance recoverables. A catastrophe is a severe loss resulting from natural and man-made
events within a particular territory, including risks such as hurricane, fire, earthquake, windstorm, explosion, terrorism and
other similar events, that causes $25 million or more in insured property and casualty losses for the industry and affects a significant
number of property and casualty insurers and policyholders. Each catastrophe has unique characteristics. Catastrophes are not predictable
as to timing or amount of loss in advance. Their effects are not included in earnings or claim and claim expense reserves prior
to occurrence. In the opinion of the Company's management, a discussion of the impact of catastrophes is meaningful for investors
to understand the variability in periodic earnings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Insurance premiums written and contract

business, such amounts may be earned and included in financial results over future fiscal periods, and (2) the amount charged for
policies in force during a fiscal period for traditional life and group life business. Amounts are reported net of reinsurance,
unless otherwise specified. Contract deposits include amounts received from customers on deposit-type contracts, such as investment
contracts (annuities) and life products with account values, including deposit amounts and any related contract or policy fees.
Management utilizes this non-GAAP measure, which is based on statutory accounting principles, in analyzing and evaluating the business
growth of its operating segments. Insurance premiums and contract charges earned is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.</P>

<B>Net income before realized investment gains and losses</B> - Net income adjusted to exclude after tax realized investment gains
and losses. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes the measure provides investors with a
valuable measure of the Company&rsquo;s ongoing performance because it reveals trends in the business that may be obscured by
the net effect of realized investment gains and losses. Realized investment gains and losses may vary significantly between periods
and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments that are unrelated to the insurance underwriting
process. Operating income is used by management along with other components of net income to assess their performance and adjusted
measures of operating income and operating income per diluted share are used in incentive compensation programs. Management believes
that a projection of net income including after tax realized investment gains and losses is not appropriate on a forward-looking
basis because it is not possible to provide a valid forecast of realized investment gains and losses, which can vary substantially
from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">SPRINGFIELD, Ill., July 20, 2016 -- Horace Mann Educators Corporation
(NYSE:HMN) estimates its financial impact from weather-related catastrophe activity during the three months ended June 30, 2016
will total $27 to $28 million on a pre-tax basis. These catastrophe losses were related to 14 catastrophe events, the most significant
being severe weather in Texas and the Midwest. This estimate represents 17 to 18 percentage points on the Company&rsquo;s estimated
second quarter 2016 combined ratio, or approximately $0.42 to $0.44 per diluted share after tax. In addition to sizable catastrophe
losses, the Company experienced an increase in claim counts in auto, as adverse weather contributed to an increase in frequency.</P>

experience a significant amount of <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">severe convective storm activity, and as a result, property catastrophe
losses were elevated and auto losses were significantly higher than planned,&rdquo; said Marita Zuraitis, President and Chief Executive
Officer. &ldquo;Therefore, we estimate our second quarter 2016 property and casualty combined ratio will be between 111 and 112
percentage points,&rdquo; stated Zuraitis.</FONT></P>
