*  These measures are not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("non-GAAP").  They are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the supplemental numerical pages of this document.  An explanation of these measures is contained in the Glossary of Selected Terms included as an exhibit in the company's reports filed with the SEC.

(A)  Reflects the retrospective adoption on January 1, 2012 of new accounting guidance for deferred policy acquisition costs.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the company's results of operations, but did decrease shareholders' equity $31.6 million, or 2.9%, after tax at January 1, 2012.

"Horace Mann's fourth quarter operating income was $0.67 per share -- a strong finish to an excellent year.  We are pleased with another quarter of solid growth and underlying earnings performance across all three segments of our multiline insurance platform," said Horace Mann's President and CEO Peter H. Heckman.  "In property and casualty, compared to fourth quarter 2011, both written and earned premiums increased, retention ratios continued to improve, catastrophe losses were minimal and reserves continued to develop favorably.  In our annuity business, assets under management were up 10% over prior year, with increased earnings benefitting from higher fixed annuity spreads and another quarter of positive deferred policy acquisition cost unlocking.  And, in our life segment, fourth quarter sales of Horace Mann products increased 57% compared to a year earlier, while lower than expected mortality losses continued to have a favorable impact on earnings."

"We are projecting full-year 2013 operating income of between $1.75 and $1.95 per share," said Heckman.  "This estimate anticipates a modest improvement in our underlying property and casualty combined ratio, which we expect to be more than offset by a reduced level of favorable prior years' reserve development as well as a return to more normal levels of annuity deferred policy acquisition cost unlocking and life mortality and $3 million to $4 million in customer experience investments."

Property and Casualty Segment

The property and casualty segment recorded net income of $14.5 million for the quarter compared to $17.4 million for the same period in 2011.  The total property and casualty combined ratio of 92.4% was equal to the fourth quarter of 2011.  Pretax catastrophe losses in the current quarter of $2.8 million decreased $1.9 million compared to a year ago.  Favorable prior years' reserve development totaling $5.7 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, compared to $4.6 million of favorable development recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The underlying property and casualty combined ratio of 94.5% increased 2.1 percentage points compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting less favorable current accident year property results excluding catastrophes partially offset by an improvement in the underlying auto combined ratio.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, property and casualty segment net income of $37.1 million improved $31.2 million compared to 2011, primarily as a result of a lower level of catastrophe losses.  The full year 2012 underlying combined ratio was 93.5%, a slight increase compared to the prior year reflecting less favorable underlying auto results partially offset by improvement in current accident year property results excluding catastrophes.

Total property and casualty premiums written of $137.2 million and $550.8 million increased 3% and 1% compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, respectively, with increases in average property and auto premiums per policy somewhat offset by fewer policies in force for both lines.

True new auto sales units -- units associated with new Horace Mann auto policyholders -- decreased 3% in the current quarter but increased 20% compared to full year 2011.  The full year growth in total new auto units of 12% included a modest increase in the number of additional vehicles added to existing policies.  Meanwhile, property new sales units increased 12% and 16% compared to the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2011, respectively.

Annuity Segment

Annuity segment net income was $11.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, increasing $0.7 million compared to the same period in 2011, which contributed to a $9.6 million increase for the full year.  The net interest margin on fixed annuity assets increased 15% compared to full year 2011, with the related net interest spread of 2.11% increasing 9 basis points.  The evaluation of deferred policy acquisition costs in the quarter had a $2.5 million pretax positive impact on annuity segment earnings compared to a $2.2 million positive impact in the prior year.  Largely due to the change in financial market performance, the respective evaluations had a positive impact of $3.8 million pretax for full year 2012 and a negative impact of $2.5 million pretax in 2011.  Total accumulated account value of $4.8 billion increased 10% compared to December 31, 2011, and total cash value persistency of 95.0% improved approximately 1 percentage point compared to a year earlier.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, annuity deposits received of $114.7 million were comparable to the prior year, while full year deposits received of $417.6 million decreased 4% compared to 2011, primarily due to a decrease in scheduled deposit receipts in 2012.

Total annuity sales were up 3% compared to fourth quarter 2011 and increased 1% for the full year.  Within the full year result, annuity sales by Horace Mann's agency force increased 14%, while sales from the supplemental independent agent distribution channel declined year-over-year.

Life Segment

Life segment net income of $5.7 million for the fourth quarter was equal to the same period in 2011.  Compared to full year 2011, life segment net income increased $2.5 million largely due to favorable mortality experience in 2012.  Life persistency of 96% improved approximately 1 percentage point compared to 12 months earlier.

Life segment insurance premiums and contract deposits of $27.6 million and $99.3 million increased approximately 1% compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

Total new life sales continued to be strong compared to the prior year, with fourth quarter and full year growth rates of 57% and 40%, respectively, in sales of Horace Mann-manufactured products -- consistent with the company's strategic intent to significantly increase its underwritten, mortality-based business.

Investment Results

In 2012, total net investment income increased 4% and 6% compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.  Pretax net realized investment gains were $6.2 million in the current quarter and $27.3 million for the full year.  No impairment write-downs on securities were recorded in 2012.

Horace Mann's net unrealized investment gains on fixed maturity and equity securities of $651.9 million at December 31, 2012 increased slightly compared to September 30, 2012.  Net unrealized gains were $441.1 million at December 31, 2011.

Capital Management

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the company repurchased 114,809 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $2.1 million, or an average price per share of $18.23, under its $50 million share repurchase program.  As of December 31, 2012, the program had a remaining authorization of $32.2 million.  There were 39,367,862 shares outstanding on December 31, 2012.

Horace Mann's senior management will discuss the company's fourth quarter and full year performance, as well as 2013 operating income guidance, with investors and analysts on February 6, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  The conference call will be webcast live on the Internet at www.horacemann.com and archived later in the day for replay, which will be available for one month.
