NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Horace Mann Educators Corporation is a holding company for insurance subsidiaries that market and underwrite personal lines of property and casualty insurance products (primarily personal lines of auto and property insurance), life insurance products, retirement products (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities), individual supplemental insurance products (primarily cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability and accident coverages), and group benefit products (primarily short-term and long-term group disability, and group term life coverages), primarily to K-12 teachers, administrators and other employees of public schools and their families (collectively, HMEC, the Company or Horace Mann).
The Company conducts and manages its business in four reporting segments: (1) Property & Casualty, (2) Life & Retirement, (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits and (4) Corporate & Other.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, but are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted. These Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Part II - Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (generally consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Part II - Item 8, Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error related to private debt securities associated with the Company’s limited partnership investments. The $8.1 million after tax ($10.2 million pre-tax) adjustment decreases net income for the following segments: Life & Retirement $5.3 million; and Supplemental & Group Benefits, $2.8 million. The out-of-period correction would have resulted in a decrease of net income for year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 by $4.4 and $1.3 million, respectively. The out-of-period correction would have resulted in a decrease of net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by $0.8 and $2.5 million, respectively.
The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the current year's presentation.
Consolidation
All intercompany transactions and balances between HMEC and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 5 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The most significant critical accounting estimates include valuation of hard-to-value fixed maturity securities, evaluation of credit loss impairments for fixed maturity securities, valuation of future policy benefit reserves, and valuation of liabilities for property and casualty unpaid claims and claim expense reserves.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update will improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.
This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will have no net impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, 03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance will improve the disclosures regarding a public business entity’s expenses by requiring (1) disclosure of the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption, (2) inclusion of certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, (3) disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and (4) disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments in this guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will have no net impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Net Investment Gains (Losses)
Net investment gains (losses) for the following periods were as follows:

($ in millions) |  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024

Net investment gains (losses) |  | $ | (5.9) |  |  | $ | (5.9) |  |  | $ | (9.2) |  |  | $ | (3.7) |

The Company, from time to time, sells fixed maturity securities subsequent to the reporting date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements that were in an unrealized loss position but no credit loss was recognized and there was no intent to sell the securities at the reporting date. Such sales are due to issuer-specific events occurring subsequent to the reporting date that result in a change in the Company's intent to sell a fixed maturity security. The types of events that may result in a sale include significant changes in the economic facts and circumstances related to the invested asset, significant unforeseen changes in liquidity needs, or changes in the Company's investment strategy.

NOTE 2 - Investments (continued)
The following table presents the fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company views the decrease in fair value of all of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2025 as due to factors other than a credit loss. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not made the decision to sell and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses before a recovery of the amortized cost basis. In reaching our conclusion that an allowance for credit is unnecessary, we considered the factors described in the evaluation of credit loss impairments for fixed maturity securities critical accounting estimate in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the current six months ended June 30, 2025, the performance of fixed maturity securities has been impacted by the change in interest rates, specifically interest rates being at relatively high levels compared to interest rates at the time of acquisition of the securities. In consideration of the factors, we expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities in the following table.

Maturities of Fixed Maturity Securities
The following table presents the distribution of the Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio by estimated expected maturity. Estimated expected maturities differ from contractual maturities, reflecting assumptions regarding borrowers' utilization of the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. For structured securities, estimated expected maturities consider broker-dealer survey prepayment assumptions and are verified for consistency with the interest rate and economic environments.

Limited Partnership Interests
Investments in limited partnership interests are predominately accounted for using the equity method of accounting (EMA) and include interests in commercial mortgage loan funds, real estate equity funds, private equity funds, infrastructure equity funds, infrastructure debt funds and other funds. In addition, we have two limited partnership investments accounted for at fair value using the fair value option (FVO). Principal factors influencing carrying amount appreciation or depreciation include operating performance, comparable public company earnings multiples, capitalization rates and the economic environment.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements
In connection with reverse repurchase agreements, the Company transfers primarily U.S. government, government agency and corporate securities and receives cash. For reverse repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash in an amount equal to at least 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred, and the agreements with third parties contain contractual provisions to allow for additional collateral to be obtained when necessary. The Company accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as secured borrowings. The securities transferred under reverse repurchase agreements are included in Fixed maturity securities with the obligation to repurchase those securities reported in Other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities transferred was $0.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and $12.4 million as of December 31, 2024.

Separate Account Liabilities
Separate account assets and liabilities consist of investment accounts established and maintained by the Company for certain variable contracts. Some of these variable contracts include minimum guarantees such as GMDBs that guarantee a minimum payment to the policyholder in the event of death.
The assets that support variable contracts are measured at fair value and are reported as separate account assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities. MRB assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and presented separately from separate account assets and separate account liabilities. MRBs are discussed further in the market risk benefits section of this Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality,

The assumptions used to amortize DAC were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate LFPB for traditional and limited-payment contracts. The underlying assumptions for DAC and LFPB were updated at the same time.
In the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, the Company conducted a review of all significant assumptions and did not make any changes to future assumptions because actual experience for mortality and lapses was materially consistent with underlying assumptions.

NOTE 6 - Reinsurance
The Company recognizes the cost of reinsurance premiums over the contract periods for such premiums in proportion to the insurance protection provided. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid claims and claim settlement expenses, including estimated amounts for unsettled claims, claims incurred but not yet reported and policy benefits, are estimated in a manner consistent with the insurance liability associated with the policy. The effects of reinsurance on net premiums written and contract deposits; net premiums and contract charges earned; and benefits, claims and settlement expenses were as follows:

Note 7 - Segment Information
The Company conducts and manages its business through four reporting segments. The three reporting segments representing the major lines of business are: (1) Property & Casualty (primarily personal lines of auto and property insurance products), (2) Life & Retirement (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities as well as life insurance products), and (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits (primarily cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability, accident, short-term and long-term group disability, and group term life coverages). The Company does not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to these reporting segments, consistent with the basis for management's evaluation of the results of those reporting segments, but classifies those items in the fourth reporting segment, Corporate & Other. Corporate & Other includes corporate debt service, net investment gains (losses) and certain public company expenses, as well as corporate debt retirement costs, when applicable. In addition to these transactions, Corporate & Other also includes legacy commercial claims.
The accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those described in Note 1-Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. Expense allocations are based on certain assumptions and estimates primarily related to direct cost, revenue and activity; methodologies are applied consistently. Stated segment operating results would change if different methods were applied.
The Company’s Chief Operating Officer is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), responsible for reviewing financial performance and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources for the reporting segments. The Company measures and analyzes segment performance based on core earnings which differs from total income as presented in our consolidated statements of operations due to excluding the after-tax impact of net investment gains (losses), discontinued operations, the after-tax impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairments, other non-recurring or infrequent items and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles when applicable, and for the period ended June 30, 2025, the impacts of the immaterial correction of the prior period error discussed in Note 1. We believe core earnings is a better performance measure and indicator of the profitability and underlying trends in our business. The CODM considers actual-to-budget variances in core earnings on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to segments and evaluating product pricing.
Disaggregated financial information for these segments, as regularly provided to the CODM as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025, is as follows:

NOTE 10 - Contingencies and Commitments
Lawsuits and Legal Proceedings
Companies in the insurance industry have been subject to substantial litigation resulting from claims, disputes and other matters. For instance, they have faced expensive claims, including class action lawsuits, alleging, among other things, improper sales practices and improper claims settlement procedures. Negotiated settlements of certain such actions have had a material adverse effect on many insurance companies. At the time of issuance of this Interim Report on Form 10-Q, except as noted below, the Company does not have pending litigation from which there is a reasonable possibility of material loss.
In 2023, the Horace Mann Insurance Company (HMIC) was named as a defendant in one lawsuit and received various demands for reimbursement and notices of claims related to legacy, long-tail commercial lines claims, including asbestos, environmental, and sexual molestation claims. It is alleged that HMIC reinsured certain commercial lines policies as a member of various insurance pooling arrangements in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The related policies were written prior to the 1975 acquisition of Horace Mann by INA discussed in Part I - Item 1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. HMEC’s available records indicate that on January 1, 1975, HMIC entered a quota share retrocession treaty with INA. It is the Company’s understanding that claims arising under these legacy policies were handled by various third parties pursuant to the terms of that treaty and its subsequent amendments entered into on behalf of HMIC. Ultimately, after amendments to the treaty and various corporate transactions involving the reinsurer, these obligations were assumed by companies that were affiliated with R&Q Reinsurance Company (R&Q).
The matters noted above arose following the March 23, 2023, Order of Liquidation in Pennsylvania of R&Q. HMIC is defending itself against the pending litigation and is in the process of investigating and evaluating the other demands and claims notices under a complete reservation of rights. In addition, in order to preserve its rights, HMIC submitted a proof of claim in the pending R&Q liquidation proceeding.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $15.7 million, after-tax of costs related to these non-core legacy commercial liability policies in the Corporate & Other Segment. As noted above, these policies were issued as early as the 1960s and prior to the current ownership structure of the Company.
Investment Commitments
The Company has outstanding commitments to fund investments primarily in limited partnership interests. Such unfunded commitments were $423.0 million and $449.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Introduction
The purpose of this MD&A is to provide an understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Measures within this MD&A that are not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (non-GAAP) are marked with an asterisk (*) the first time they are presented within this Part I - Item 2. An explanation of these measures is contained in the Glossary of Selected Terms included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are reconciled to the most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) in the Appendix to the Company's Second Quarter 2025 Investor Supplement.
Increases or decreases in this MD&A that are not meaningful are marked "N.M.".
Statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical in nature are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Horace Mann Educators Corporation (referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as "we", "our", "us", the "Company", "Horace Mann" or "HMEC") is an insurance holding company. We are not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaim any such obligation to) update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. It is important to note that our actual results could differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties inherent in our business. Also, see Part I - Items 1 and 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information regarding risks and uncertainties.
Corporate Strategy
Our vision is to be the company of choice to provide insurance and financial solutions for all educators and others who serve their communities, whether they engage with Horace Mann directly or through their district/employer. We believe the unique value of Horace Mann is providing solutions tailored for educators at each stage of their lives, empowering them to achieve lifelong financial success. Our motivation stems from our gratitude for educators: They are looking after our children's futures, and we believe they deserve someone to

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 40 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

look after theirs. Our commitment to having a positive impact on our customers' lives extends to all our corporate stakeholders, including employees, agents, investors and the communities where we live and work.
We conduct and manage our business in four reporting segments. The three reporting segments representing our major lines of business, are: (1) Property & Casualty (primarily personal lines of auto and property insurance products), (2) Life & Retirement (primarily tax-qualified fixed and variable annuities as well as life insurance products), and (3) Supplemental & Group Benefits (primarily cancer, heart, hospital, supplemental disability, accident, short-term and long-term group disability, and group term life coverages). We do not allocate the impact of corporate-level transactions to these reporting segments, consistent with the basis for management's evaluation of the results of those segments, but classify those items in the fourth reporting segment, Corporate & Other. In addition to ongoing transactions such as corporate debt service, net investment gains (losses) and certain public company expenses, such items also have included corporate debt retirement costs, when applicable. See Part I - Item 1, Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net income increased $25.6 million and $37.3 million, respectively, primarily due to improved Property & Casualty segment results reflecting the effect of rate and non-rate underwriting actions as well as the impact of lower catastrophe losses.

Net Premiums and Contract Charges Earned
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net premiums and contract charges earned increased $21.7 million and $44.8 million, as the Property & Casualty segment continues to implement rate and inflation adjustments to coverage values.
Net Investment Income
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total net investment income increased $2.4 million and $12.9 million. The increase for the quarter is primarily due to continued strong returns from our fixed income portfolio and higher returns from our commercial mortgage loan and limited partnership funds. Excluding the reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error of $10.2 million, net investment income increased $12.6 million and $23.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The annualized investment yield on the portfolio excluding limited partnership interests* was as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Investment yield, excluding limited partnership interests, pretax - annualized*(1) |  | 4.3% |  | 4.3% |  | 4.5% |  | 4.4%

The higher investment yields, excluding limited partnership interests, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflected stronger income from the fixed income portfolios.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we continued to identify and purchase investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields relative to market conditions without venturing into asset classes or individual

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 42 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

securities that would be inconsistent with our overall investment guidelines for the core portfolio. We continue to fund at levels that allow us to maintain our targeted allocation to commercial mortgage loan funds and limited partnership interests while maintaining balance between principal protection and risk.
Net Investment Gains (Losses)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total net investment losses were comparable to prior year and increased by $5.5 million, respectively. The breakdown of net investment gains (losses) by transaction type were as follows:

($ in millions) |  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Credit loss and intent-to-sell impairments |  | $ | (3.1) |  |  | $ | 0.9 |  |  | $ | (3.1) |  |  | $ | — |

Change in fair value and gains (losses) realized on settlements - derivatives |  | (4.1) |  |  | (1.5) |  |  | (8.3) |  |  | (0.9) |
Net investment gains (losses) |  | $ | (5.9) |  |  | $ | (5.9) |  |  | $ | (9.2) |  |  | $ | (3.7) |

From time to time, we may sell fixed maturity securities subsequent to the reporting date that were considered temporarily impaired at such reporting date. Such sales are due to issuer-specific events occurring subsequent to the reporting date that result in a change in our intent to sell a fixed maturity security.
Other Income
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other income decreased $0.5 million and increased $1.8 million, respectively.
Benefits, Claims and Settlement Expenses
Benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower catastrophe losses and underlying losses in the Property & Casualty segment as well as lower life mortality. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower catastrophe losses and underlying losses in the Property & Casualty segment which were partially offset by higher benefits for long term disability in Group.
Interest Credited
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, interest credited decreased $1.1 million and $1.2 million.
Under the deposit method of accounting, the interest credited on the reinsured annuity block continues to be reported. The average deferred annuity credited rate, excluding the reinsured annuity block, was 3.3% and 3.1% as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Operating Expenses
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, operating expenses increased 16.7% and 12.1%, reflecting inflation, investments being made in growth initiatives and infrastructure, and increased compensation accruals driven by better than expected results.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (DAC) Amortization Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, DAC amortization expense increased $2.9 million and $5.5 million, primarily due to premium increases in the Property & Casualty segment driving higher commission and underwriting expenses which increase DAC asset levels.
Intangible Asset Amortization Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, intangible asset amortization expense decreased $0.1 million and $0.1 million.

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 43 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Interest Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense decreased $0.1 million and increased $0.1 million, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
The effective income tax rate on our pretax income, including net investment gains (losses), was 19.5% and 19.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income from investments in tax-advantaged securities decreased the effective income tax rates by 2.4 and 3.1 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We record liabilities for uncertain tax filing positions where it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustainable upon audit by taxing authorities. These liabilities are reevaluated routinely and are adjusted appropriately based on changes in facts or law. We have no unrecorded liabilities from uncertain tax filing positions.
As of June 30, 2025, our federal income tax returns for years prior to 2021 are no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. We do not anticipate any assessments for tax years that remain subject to examination to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into U.S. law, introducing a broad range of business tax reform provisions. The Company has evaluated the law's provisions on our operations and we do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on our financial statements or effective tax rate. Because the law was enacted after the close of the second quarter, no impacts for this legislation are reflected in results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Outlook for 2025
The following discussion provides outlook information for our results of operations and capital position.
Consolidated Results
At the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we estimate that 2025 full year core earnings* will be within a range of $4.15 to $4.45 per diluted share, generating a core return on equity* of 10%+. These results anticipate the following:
•Property & Casualty segment target profitability of Auto in the mid-90s Combined Ratio and Property at a 90 or below Combined ratio with ~$90 million of catastrophe losses, in line with five-year historical averages
•Life & Retirement segment long-term target net interest spread between 220 and 230 bps and mortality in line with actuarial assumptions
•Supplemental & Group Benefits segment target blended benefit ratio of 39%
•Net investment income between $470 million and $480 million pre-tax, or $370-$380 million excluding the accreted investment income on the deposit asset on reinsurance in the Life & Retirement segment
•Approximately $35 million to $40 million in corporate Interest expense and other items included in results for the Corporate & Other segment
As described in Application of Critical Accounting Estimates, certain of our significant accounting measurements require the use of estimates and assumptions. As additional information becomes available, adjustments may be required. Those adjustments are charged or credited to net income for the period in which the adjustments are made and may impact actual results compared to our estimates above. Additionally, see forward-looking information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as Part I - Items 1 and 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 concerning other important factors that could impact actual results. Our projections due not include a forecast of net investment gains (losses), which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a significant impact on net income.

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 44 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions based on information available at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of our consolidated assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity and net income. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to our consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that subsequent events and available information may differ markedly from management's judgments at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. We have discussed with the Audit Committee the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles as applied in our financial reporting. The discussions generally included such matters as the consistency of our accounting policies and their application, and the clarity and completeness of our consolidated financial statements, which include related disclosures.
Information regarding our accounting policies pertaining to these topics is located in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, discussion of accounting policies, including certain sensitivity information, was presented in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Application of Critical Accounting Estimates in that Form 10-K within which we identified the following accounting estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
•Valuation of hard-to-value fixed maturity securities
•Evaluation of credit loss impairments for fixed maturity securities
•Valuation of future policy benefit reserves
•Valuation of liabilities for property and casualty unpaid claims and claim expense reserves
Compared to December 31, 2024, as of June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to accounting policies for areas most subject to significant management judgments identified above.

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 45 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Results of Operations by Segment
Consolidated financial results reflect the results of the Property & Casualty, Life & Retirement, and Supplemental & Group Benefits reporting segments, as well as the Corporate & Other reporting segment. These segments are defined based on financial information management uses to evaluate performance and to determine the allocation of resources. The following sections provide analysis and discussion of the results of operations for each of the reporting segments as well as investment results.
Property & Casualty
The Property & Casualty segment primarily markets private passenger auto insurance and residential home insurance. Horace Mann offers standard auto coverages, including liability, collision and comprehensive. Property coverage includes both homeowners and renters policies. For both auto and property coverage, Horace Mann offers educators a discounted rate and the Educator Advantage® package of features. The Property & Casualty segment represented 51% of total revenues in 2024.
(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2024, unless noted otherwise)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net income reflected the following factors:
•Increases in average written premium per policy
•Lower underlying loss ratio*
•Catastrophe losses lower than prior year by 7.8 points and 4.4 points for the three and six months, respectively
•Higher net investment income driven by limited partnership portfolio

The Property & Casualty segment three and six month net income of $16.5 million and $43.3 million, as well as the three month and six month combined ratio of 97.0% and 93.3%, respectively, reflected the positive effect of rate and non-rate actions as well as catastrophe losses below prior year and recent prior periods.
The current quarter reflects an increase in net premiums written* of 6.1%, with average written premiums* rising for both property and auto. Sales* were steady for the quarter, up 5.5% from the prior year, and household retention remains in line with expectations.
The three and six month loss ratios decreased 16.2 and 13.5 points from last year reflecting higher average premiums and catastrophe losses that were below recent prior periods. In addition, $5.5 million and $10.8 million of net favorable prior years' reserve development for the three and six months reduced the loss ratio 2.8 points for both comparisons. Catastrophe losses for the quarter were $29.7 million, pretax, contributing 15.0 points to the combined ratio. In total, there were 20 events designated as catastrophes by Property Claims Services (PCS) in this year’s second quarter. The lower catastrophe losses are driven by lower frequency and severity of policyholder claims. In the second quarter of 2024, catastrophe losses were $40.9 million, pretax, contributing 22.8 points to the combined ratio, from 28 PCS events.
The year-over-year increase in average written premiums* for auto policies remained elevated in the second quarter at 8.8%, with retention declining slightly, and in line with expectations, given substantial rate increases. The second-quarter auto underlying loss ratio* was 68.7%, improving 5.5 points from the prior year quarter, reflecting the benefit of higher average earned premium. The second quarter reported loss ratio benefited 1.2 points from favorable prior years' reserve development.
The year-over-year increase in average written premiums* for property policies was 11.6% in the second quarter, as rate increases and inflation adjustments to coverage values continue to take effect. Policyholder retention remains strong. The second-quarter property underlying loss ratio* was 36.8%, a 14.1 point decrease from prior year reflecting the increase in average earned premium* and lower frequency and severity.

Life & Retirement
The Life & Retirement segment markets 403(b) tax-qualified fixed, fixed indexed and variable annuities; the Horace Mann Retirement Advantage® open architecture platform for 403(b)(7) and other defined contribution plans; and other retirement products to educators as well as traditional term and whole life insurance products. Horace Mann is one of the largest participants in the K-12 educator portion of the 403(b) tax-qualified annuity market, measured by 403(b) net premiums written on a statutory accounting basis. The Life & Retirement segment represented 32% of total revenues in 2024.
(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2024, unless noted otherwise)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net income reflected the following factors:
•Benefits expense in Life decreased due to lower mortality in the current year
•Annualized quarterly net interest spread on fixed annuities up 30 basis points
•Higher net investment income from limited partnerships and commercial mortgage loan funds

(1) In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error. See additional disclosure contained in Note 1 of the June 30, 2025 Form 10-Q.
Life & Retirement segment net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, of $20.0 million and $26.8 million was up 62.6% and 11.7%, primarily due to favorable benefits in the Life segment and higher net investment income. Life benefits reflected lower mortality costs in the current quarter compared to the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, mortality costs remain within our expected actuarial range. The net spread increase reflects lower borrowing costs and increased advances from our FHLB funding agreements compared with 2024. Excluding the reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error of $6.7 million ($5.3 million after tax), net investment income increased $8.2 million and $11.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
For the Retirement business, net annuity contract deposits were up 7.8% for the quarter at $110.2 million. Educators continue to begin their relationship with Horace Mann through 403(b) retirement savings products, which provide encouraging cross-sell opportunities. Average persistency rose from the prior period to 91.7%.
Horace Mann currently has $5.7 billion in annuity assets under management, including $2.2 billion of fixed annuities, $3.1 billion of variable annuities and $0.4 billion of fixed indexed annuities. Assets under administration, which includes Horace Mann Retirement Advantage® and other advisory and recordkeeping assets, were up due to the effect of equity market performance on assets.
Life annualized sales* were $2.5 million for the quarter. Persistency remains strong. Life insurance in force rose to $21.2 billion at quarter-end.
We actively manage our interest rate risk exposure, considering a variety of factors, including earned interest rates, credited interest rates and the relationship between the expected durations of assets and liabilities. We

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 50 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

estimate that over the next 12 months approximately $501.3 million of the Life & Retirement investment portfolio and related investable cash flows will be reinvested at current market rates.
As a general guideline, based on our existing policies and investment portfolio, the impact from a 100 basis point decline in the average reinvestment rate would reduce Life & Retirement net investment income by approximately $2.4 million in year one and $4.7 million in year two, reducing the annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities by approximately 9 basis points and 17 basis points in the respective periods, compared to the current period annualized net interest spread on fixed annuities. We could also consider potential changes in rates credited to policyholders, tempered by any restrictions on the ability to adjust policyholder rates due to guaranteed minimum crediting rates.

(1) In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error. See additional disclosure contained in Note 1 of the June 30, 2025 Form 10-Q.
Supplemental & Group Benefits segment net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, of $7.9 million and $19.1 million, was down $6.2 million and $6.0 million. The individual supplemental benefits ratio decreased 0.3 points. The group benefits benefit ratio decreased 3.5 points due to favorable policy utilization during the quarter. Operating expense increase reflects inflation and investments being made in growth initiatives and infrastructure.
Excluding the reduction in net investment income due to an immaterial out-of-period correction of an error of $3.5 million ($2.8 million after tax), net investment income increased $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Total sales* for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $0.4 million with individual supplemental product sales increasing $1.7 million and group benefits products decreasing $1.3 million. Individual supplemental sales increased 42.5% due to strong customer demand. Variability in sales between comparable periods is typical for Group Benefits given the relatively small scale and the longer sales cycle of this business. Persistency remains strong for the segment.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the net results decreased $1.0 million and $0.8 million, primarily due to lower net investment income in the quarter and higher net investment losses and operating expenses offset by higher net investment income included in revenues for the year.
Investment Results
(All comparisons vs. same periods in 2024, unless noted otherwise)
Our investment strategy is primarily focused on generating income to support product liabilities, and balances principal protection and risk.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net investment income from our managed investment portfolio increased $3.0 million and $14.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher returns in limited partnerships, including commercial mortgage loan funds. The investment yield on the portfolio excluding limited partnership interests was 4.5%, with new money yields continuing to exceed portfolio yields in the core fixed maturity securities portfolio.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, pretax net investment losses increased $0.0 million and $5.5 million. The increase was due to realized losses on dispositions of invested assets.

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 53 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Pretax net unrealized investment losses on fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2025 were down $77.0 million, or 30.6%, compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease of 10 basis points in US Treasury rates and investment-grade credit spreads that were tighter by 10 basis points.

As of June 30, 2025, the fixed maturity securities portfolio had $454.5 million of pretax gross unrealized investment losses on $3,335.6 million of fair value related to 2,294 positions. Of the investment positions with gross unrealized losses, there were 428 trading below 80.0% of the carrying value as of June 30, 2025. The Company views the decrease in fair value of all of the fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2025 as due to factors other than a credit loss. Future changes in circumstances related to these and other securities could require subsequent recognition of impairment. See Part II - Item 8, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Unrealized investment losses declined primarily due to a decrease in US Treasury rates. As of June 30, 2025, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield decreased 34 basis points since December 31, 2024, declining from 4.57% as of December 31, 2024 to 4.23% as of June 30, 2025. Credit spreads were only slightly wider during the same time period, with investment grade and high yield both wider by 3 basis points. As of June 30, 2025, investment grade and high yield total returns were up 4.17% and 4.57%, respectively, since December 31, 2024.

Cash Flow
Our short-term liquidity requirements, within a 12 month operating cycle, are for the timely payment of claims and benefits to policyholders, operating expenses, interest payments and federal income taxes. Cash flow generated from operations has been, and is expected to be, adequate to meet our operating cash needs in the next 12 months. Cash flow in excess of operational needs has been used to fund business growth, pay dividends to shareholders and repurchase shares of our common stock. Long-term liquidity requirements, beyond one year, are principally for the payment of future insurance and annuity policy claims and benefits, as well as retirement of debt. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows activity for the periods indicated.

Operating Activities
As a holding company, we conduct our principal operations in the personal lines segment of the property and casualty, life, retirement, supplemental and group insurance industries through our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries generate cash flow from premium and investment income, generally well in excess of their immediate needs for policy obligations, operating expenses and other cash requirements. Fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflect seasonality in timing of premium and investment income collections and claims and benefits payments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities increased $157.4 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $(72.0) million and $(87.2) million, respectively.
Investing cash inflows consist primarily of proceeds from the sales and maturities of investments. Investing cash outflows consist primarily of payments for purchases of investments. Our investment strategy is to appropriately match the cash flows and durations of our assets with the cash flows and durations of our liabilities to meet the funding requirements of our business and, generally, the expected principal and interest payments produced by our fixed maturity securities portfolio adequately fund the estimated runoff of our insurance reserves. When market opportunities arise, we may sell selected securities and reinvest the proceeds to improve the yield and credit quality of our portfolio. We may at times also sell selected securities and reinvest the proceeds to improve the duration matching of our assets and liabilities and/or rebalance our portfolio. As a result, sales before maturity may vary from period to period. The sale and purchase of short-term investments is influenced by

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 56 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

proceeds received from FHLB funding advances, issuance of debt, our reverse repurchase agreement program, and by the amount of cash which is at times held in short-term investments to facilitate the availability of cash to fund the purchase of appropriate long-term investments, repay maturing debt, and/or to respond to catastrophes.
Financing Activities
Financing activities include primarily payment of dividends, receipt and withdrawal of funds by annuity contractholders, changes in the deposit asset on reinsurance, repurchases of our common stock, fluctuations in book overdraft balances, and borrowings, repayments and repurchases related to debt facilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities increased $154.7 million compared to the prior year period. The change was primarily due to a $57.0 million increase in net cash outflow from reverse repurchase agreements, a $39.9 million increase in cash outflows from the deposit asset on reinsurance, a $39.8 million increase in cash outflows from benefits, withdrawals and net transfers to Separate Account variable annuity assets and a $15.0 million net increase in net cash outflows (advances less repayments) from FHLB funding agreements.
The following table shows activity from FHLB funding agreements for the periods indicated.

We actively manage our financial position and liquidity levels in light of changing market, economic and business conditions. Liquidity is managed at both the entity and enterprise level across HMEC and is assessed on both base and stressed level liquidity needs. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet these needs. Additionally, we have existing intercompany agreements in place that facilitate liquidity management across HMEC to enhance flexibility.

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 58 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

As of June 30, 2025, we held $1.0 billion of cash, U.S. government and agency fixed maturity securities and public equity securities (excluding non-redeemable preferred stocks and foreign equity securities) which, under normal market conditions, could be rapidly liquidated.
Certain remote events and circumstances could constrain our liquidity. Those events and circumstances include, for example, a catastrophe resulting in extraordinary losses, a downgrade of our Senior Notes rating to non-investment grade status or a downgrade in our insurance subsidiaries' financial strength ratings. The rating agencies also consider the interdependence of our individually rated entities; therefore, a rating change in one entity could potentially affect the ratings of other related entities.
Capital Resources
We have determined the amount of capital that is needed to adequately fund and support business growth, primarily based on risk-based capital formulas, including those developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Historically, our insurance subsidiaries have generated capital in excess of such needed levels. These excess amounts have been paid to us through dividends. We have then utilized these dividends and our access to the capital markets to fund growth initiatives, service and retire debt, pay dividends to our shareholders, repurchase shares of our common stock and for other corporate purposes. If necessary, we also have other potential sources of liquidity that could provide for additional funding to meet corporate obligations or pay shareholder dividends, including a revolving line of credit, reverse repurchase agreements program, as well as issuances of various securities.
The insurance subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory restrictions that limit the amount of annual dividends or other distributions, including loans or cash advances, available to us without prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities. The aggregate amount of dividends that may be paid in 2025 from all of our insurance subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval is $148.8 million, excluding the impact and timing of prior dividends, of which $39.0 million was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We anticipate that our sources of capital will continue to generate sufficient capital to meet the needs for business growth, debt interest payments, shareholder dividends and our share repurchase programs. Additional information is contained in Part II - Item 8, Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Total capital was $1,907.8 million as of June 30, 2025, including $547.5 million of long-term debt. Total debt represented 28.7% of total capital including net unrealized investment losses on fixed maturity securities (25.9% excluding net unrealized investment losses on fixed maturity securities and net reserve remeasurements attributable to discount rates*) as of June 30, 2025, which was slightly above our long-term target of 25.0% for our debt to capital ratio excluding net unrealized investment gains (losses) and net reserve remeasurements attributable to discount rate.
Shareholders' equity was $1,360.3 million as of June 30, 2025, including net unrealized investment losses on fixed maturity securities of $309.9 million after taxes. The market value of our common stock and the market value per share were $1,754.6 million and $42.97, respectively, as of June 30, 2025. Book value per share and adjusted book value per share* was $33.31 and $38.46, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.
Additional information regarding net unrealized investment gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities as of June 30, 2025 is included in Part I - Item 1, Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as in Part I - Item 2 - Investment Results in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Total dividends paid to shareholders was $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. In March and June of 2025, the Board of Directors (Board) approved regular quarterly dividends of $0.35 per share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 178,732 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $40.14 under our share repurchase program. See Part II - Item 8, Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for more information. As of June 30, 2025, $69.2 million remained authorized for future share repurchases under the share repurchase program.

Total |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 547.5 |  |  | $ | 547.0 |

(1) We designate debt obligations as "long-term" based on maturity date at issuance.
On September 15, 2023, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes (2023 Senior Notes), which will mature on September 15, 2028, issued at a discount resulting in an effective yield of 7.29%. Interest on the 2023 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 7.25%. The 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at any time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted, on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury yield (as defined in the indenture) plus 45 basis points, plus, in either of the above cases, accrued interest to the date of redemption. The 2023 Senior Notes are traded in the open market (HMN 7.25).
As of June 30, 2025, we had $325.0 million available on the Revolving Credit Facility, with an interest rate based on Term SOFR plus 115 basis points plus the applicable benchmark adjustment spread. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on May 19, 2030. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a variable commitment fee, which was 0.15% on an annual basis as of June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, we had outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes (2015 Senior Notes), which will mature on December 1, 2025, issued at a discount resulting in an effective yield of 4.53%. Interest on the 2015 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 4.50%. Detailed information regarding the redemption terms of the 2015 Senior Notes is contained in the Part II - Item 8, Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The 2015 Senior Notes are traded in the open market (HMN 4.50).
As of June 30, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding with FHLB. The Board has authorized a maximum amount equal to 15% of net aggregate admitted assets less separate account assets of the insurance subsidiaries for FHLB borrowing and funding agreements which is below our maximum FHLB borrowing capacity.
We had no obligation for securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements at June 30, 2025 compared to $12.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
To provide additional capital management flexibility, we filed a "universal shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 8, 2024. The registration statement, which registered the offer and sale from time to time of an indeterminate amount of various securities, which may include debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, delayed delivery contracts and/or units that include any of these securities, was automatically effective on March 8, 2024. Unless withdrawn by us earlier, this registration statement will remain effective through March 8, 2027. No securities associated with the registration statement have been issued at the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On March 13, 2018, we filed a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC which became effective on May 2, 2018. Under this registration statement, we may from time to time offer and issue up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock in connection with future acquisitions of other businesses, assets or securities. Unless withdrawn by us, this registration statement will remain effective indefinitely. No securities associated with the registration statement have been issued at the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financial Ratings
Our principal insurance subsidiaries are rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (A.M. Best), Fitch, Moody's, and S&P. These rating agencies have also assigned ratings to our Senior Notes. The ratings that are assigned by these agencies, which are subject to change, can impact, among other things, our access to sources of capital, cost of capital, and competitive position. These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of our securities.
All four agencies currently have assigned the same insurance financial strength ratings to our Property & Casualty and Life insurance subsidiaries. Only A.M. Best currently rates our Supplemental & Group Benefits subsidiaries, each of which is rated at the same level as our Property & Casualty and Life & Retirement subsidiaries. Assigned ratings and respective affirmation/review dates as of July 31, 2025 were as follows:

Reinsurance Programs
There have been no material changes in our reinsurance programs for our Property & Casualty, Life & Retirement and Supplemental & Group Benefits segments from that disclosed in Part I - Item 1, Reporting Segments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 3. I Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market value risk, our primary market risk exposure, is the risk that our invested assets will decrease in value. This decrease in value may be due to (1) a change in the yields realized on our assets and prevailing market yields for similar assets, (2) an unfavorable change in the liquidity of an investment, (3) an unfavorable change in the financial prospects of the issuer of an investment, or (4) a downgrade in the credit rating of the issuer of an investment. Also see Consolidated Results of Operations in Part I - Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding net investment losses.
Significant changes in interest rates expose us to the risk of experiencing losses or earning a reduced level of income based on the difference between the interest rates earned on our investments and the credited interest rates on our insurance and investment contract liabilities. Also see Consolidated Results of Operations in Part I - Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding interest credited to policyholders.
We seek to manage our market value risk by coordinating the projected cash inflows of assets with the projected cash outflows of liabilities. For all of our assets and liabilities, we seek to maintain reasonable durations, consistent with the maximization of income without sacrificing investment quality, while providing for liquidity

Horace Mann Educators Corporation | 61 | Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

and diversification. The investment risk associated with variable annuity deposits and the underlying mutual funds is assumed by those contractholders, and not by us. Certain fees that we earn from variable annuity deposits are based on the market value of the funds deposited.
More detailed descriptions of our exposure to market value risks and the management of those risks is contained in Part II - Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 4. I Controls and Procedures
Management's Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. No material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures were identified in the evaluation and therefore, no corrective actions were taken. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. I Risk Factors
At the time of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe there are no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I - Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 2. I Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On May 13, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing repurchases of up to $50 million (i.e., the 2025 Program) to begin following the completion of the current $50 million repurchase plan which was authorized on May 25, 2022 (i.e., the 2022 Program). Both Programs authorize the repurchase of our common shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions, from time to time, depending on market conditions. The Programs do not have expiration dates and may be limited or terminated at any time without notice. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased shares under the 2022 Program as follows:

Period |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased |  | Average Price Paid per Share |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased under the Program |  | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that may yet be Purchased under the Program
April 1 - 30 |  | 175,192 |  |  | $ | 40.14 |  |  | 175,192 |  |  | $ | 19.2 | million

ITEM 5. I Other Information
Securities Trading Plans of Executive Officers and Directors
Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables prearranged transactions in Company securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions at a future date while possibly in possession of material nonpublic information. Our Insider Trading Policy permits our executive officers and directors to enter into trading plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company who is required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
