The company’s financial metrics reflect a strong operational performance, particularly in the Property & Casualty segment, which benefited from improved underwriting results and lower catastrophe losses.

The company reported a 6.1% increase in net premiums written in the Life & Retirement segment, which accounted for 32% of total revenues. The segment's net income rose to $20.0 million, up 62.6% from the previous year, attributed to lower mortality costs and higher net investment income. The Supplemental & Group Benefits segment also saw a 3.1% increase in net premiums earned, although net income decreased due to higher operating expenses and lower investment income.

Operationally, Horace Mann reported a total of 40,695,729 common shares outstanding as of July 31, 2025. The company’s investment portfolio remains robust, with total investments increasing to $7.04 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to $6.92 billion at the end of 2024.
