Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” “plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” “may,” “could” and other terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC and include the accounts of Kemper Corporation and its subsidiaries.

ThisDue to this factor and other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, as well as market conditions and the impacts of COVID-19, callannualizing the results of operations for caution in drawing specific conclusions from interim results.the three months ended March 31, 2021 would not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance
Guidance Adopted in 2020
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss impairment model. The expected credit loss impairment model requires the entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets using an allowance for credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Theamendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement includes the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have occurred during the period. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are measured in a manner similar to prior GAAP, although ASU 2016-13 requires that they be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of the amortized cost. In situations where the estimate of credit loss on an available-for-sale debt security declines, entities will be able to record a reversal of the allowance to income in the current period, which was prohibited prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 was adopted using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as receivables from policyholders. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous accounting guidance. A prospective transition approach is required for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have recognized an other-than-temporary impairment write-down prior to the effective date. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2020, which resulted in no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity previously had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity performs its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill

The following accounting policies have been updated effective January 1, 2020 to reflect the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as described above.
Investments in Fixed Maturities - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
For fixed maturity investments that the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery of value, the full amount of the impairment is reported in Impairment Losses. The Company writes down the investment’s amortized cost to its fair value, and will not adjust for any subsequent recoveries.
For fixed maturity investments that the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery of value, the Company will evaluate whether a decline in
fair value below the amortized cost basis has occurred from a credit loss or other factors (non-credit related). Considerations in the credit loss assessment include (1) extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) conditions related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area, (3) payment structure of the investment and the likelihood of the issuer's ability to make contractual cashflows, (4) defaults or other collectability concerns related to the issuer, (5) changes in the ratings assigned by a rating agency and (6) other credit enhancements that affect the investment’s expected performance.
Any increase or decrease in the expected allowance for credit losses related to investments is recognized in Impairment Losses. The expected allowance for credit losses is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis and is adjusted for any additional expected credit losses or subsequent recoveries. The amortized cost basis of the investment is not adjusted for the expected allowance for credit loss. The impairment related to other factors (non-credit related) is reported in Other Comprehensive Income, net of applicable taxes.
The Company reports accrued investment income separately for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued investment income. Accrued investment income is written off through impairment losses at the time the issuer of the bond defaults or is expected to default on interest payments.

Receivables from Policyholders - Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the receivables from policyholders based on the net amount expected to be collected on the insurance contract. Receivables from policyholders are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of the receivable is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
Management estimates the allowance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience on the receivables from policyholders provide the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current environmental conditions, primarily unemployment rates that could impact an insured’s ability to pay premiums and the anticipated impact of COVID-19.

At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before an anticipated recovery of value. The Company evaluated these investments for credit losses at September 30, 2020. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the unrealized losses were credit related including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, conditions related to the security, industry, or geographic area, payment structure of the investment and the likelihood of the issuer’s ability to make contractual cashflows, defaults or other collectability concerns related to the issuer, changes in the ratings assigned by a rating agency, and other credit enhancements that affect the investment’s expected performance. The Company determined that the unrealized losses on these securities were due to non-credit related factors at the evaluation date.
Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $19.2 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $36.0 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at September 30, 2020. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was approximately 11% of the amortized cost basis of the investment.

Based on the Company’s evaluation at December 31, 2019 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.
Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $9.1 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $11.7 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at December 31, 2019. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was approximately 5% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
There were $0.3 million unrealized losses at December 31, 2019 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” There were 0 unrealized losses at December 31, 2019 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer.”

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before an anticipated recovery of value. The Company evaluated these investments for credit losses at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the unrealized losses were credit related including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, conditions related to Kemperthe security, industry, or geographic area, payment structure of the investment and its eligible subsidiaries’ consolidated Federal income tax returnsthe likelihood of the issuer’s ability to make contractual cashflows, defaults or other collectability concerns related to the issuer, changes in the ratings assigned by a rating agency, and other credit enhancements that affect the investment’s expected performance. The Company determined that the unrealized losses on these securities were due to non-credit related factors at the evaluation date.

The pricing provider’s models and processes also take into account market convention. For each asset class, teams of its evaluators gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The Company generally validates the measurements obtained from its primary pricing provider by comparing them with measurements obtained from one additional pricing provider that provides either prices from recent market transactions, quotes in inactive markets or evaluations based on its own proprietary models.
The Company investigates significant differences related to the values provided. On completion of its investigation, management exercises judgment to determine the price selected and whether adjustments, if any, to the price obtained from the Company’s primary pricing provider would warrant classification of the price as Level 3. In instances where a reconciliationmeasurement cannot be obtained from either pricing provider, the Company generally will evaluate bid prices from one or more binding quotes obtained from market makers to Income before Income Taxes,value investments in inactive markets and classified by the Company as Level 2.

Note 7 - Variable Interest Entities
The Company invests in an Alternative Energy Partnership formed to provide sustainable energy projects that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. This entity was formed to invest in newly installed residential solar leases and power purchase agreements. As a result of this investment, the Company has the right to certain investment tax credits and tax depreciation benefits, and to a lesser extent, cash flows generated from the installed solar systems leased to individual consumers for a fixed period of time.
The Company’s interest in Alternative Energy Partnership Investments is considered an investment in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). To determine whether the investment should be consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and therefore is not required to consolidate the VIE. The project sponsor governs the entity and the Company only has consent rights that have been deemed protective in nature and does not participate in key economic decisions of the entity.
The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and included in Alternative Energy Partnership Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the accounting methodology known as Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) to account for earnings and losses. This method provides an earnings allocation that appropriately reflects the substantive economics of the investment. Earnings and losses on the investment are reported in Change in Value of Alternative Energy Partnership Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following table presents information regarding activity in the Company’s Alternative Energy Partnership Investments as of the periods indicated:

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The fair value measurement for loans to policyholders are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Effective June 30, 2020, the Company revised its method of estimating the fair value of loans to policyholders. The fair value measurement of Short-term Investments is estimated using inputs that are considered either Level 1 or Level 2 measurements. The fair value measurement of Mortgage Loans is estimated using inputs that are considered Level 2 measurements. The fair value of Long-term Debt is estimated using quoted prices for similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements. Policyholder Contract Liabilities presented in the preceding table consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, and the inputs used in the valuation are considered Level 2 measurements.
Note 1415 - Contingencies
In the ordinary course of its businesses, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, including lawsuits, arbitrations, regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries. Except with regard to the matters discussed below, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of its pending legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Over the last decade there have been multiple initiatives that intend, in various ways, to impose new duties on life insurance companies to proactively search for information related to the deaths of their insureds. These initiatives, which include legislation, audits, regulatory examinations and litigation, seek to alter the terms of life insurance contracts by imposing requirements that did not exist and were not contemplated at the time the issuing companies entered into such contracts.
In 2016, the Company voluntarily began implementing a comprehensive process to compare the life insurance records of its life insurance subsidiaries against one or more death verification databases to determine if any of its insureds may be deceased; the process is continuing.
Attempts to estimate the ultimate outcomes of the aforementioned initiatives entail uncertainties including but not limited to the (i) scope and interpretation of pertinent statutes, including the matching criteria and methodologies to be used in comparing policy records against a death verification database, (ii) universe of policies affected, (iii) results of audits, examinations and other actions by regulators, (iv) results of the Company’s voluntary process, and (v) outcomes of any related litigation.
Gain Contingency
In 2015, Kemper’s subsidiary, Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. (“KCSI”), filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”), claiming that CSC had breached the terms of a master software license and services agreement and related agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) by failing, among other things, to timely produce and deliver certain software to KCSI. In April 2017, CSC merged with a spin-off of the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and is now known as DXC Technology Company.
In April 2017, the parties participated in an evidentiary hearing before a AAA-appointed arbitrator. In November 2017, the arbitrator awarded KCSI direct damages against CSC of $84.3 million, prejudgment interest at the annual rate of 9% and costs and expenses in the amount of $7.2 million.
KCSI pursued confirmation and enforcement of the award in U.S. District Court in Texas. In September 2018, the district court confirmed the award in favor of KCSI and entered judgment against CSC in the total amount of $141.7 million. CSC appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On January 10, 2020, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s ruling in favor of KCSI.
During the pendency of the district court and appellate proceedings, CSC paid Kemper $35.7 million in September 2018 and an additional $20.1 million in April 2019 in partial satisfaction of the judgment. The Company recognized such payments in Other Income in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In February 2020, following the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling, Kemper received $89.4 million in satisfaction of the remaining balance due on the judgment. The Company recognized such payment in Other Income in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Underlying Losses and LAE and Underlying Combined Ratio
The following discussion of segment results uses the non-GAAP financial measures of (i) Underlying Losses and LAE and (ii) Underlying Combined Ratio. Underlying Losses and LAE (also referred to in the discussion as “Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE”) exclude the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years from the Company’s Incurred Losses and LAE, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The Underlying Combined Ratio is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Insurance Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the Combined Ratio, which is computed by adding total incurred lossesTotal Incurred Losses and LAE Ratio, including the impact of catastrophe losses and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years, with the Insurance Expense Ratio.
The Company believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and uses these financial measures to reveal the trends in the Company’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior yearprior-year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause the Company’s loss trends to vary
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)
significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the combined ratio.Combined Ratio. Prior-year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing
on the performance of the Company’s insurance products in the current period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s underwriting performance.
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income
Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Net Income from Continuing Operations the after-tax impact of:
(i)Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities;
(ii)Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments;
(iii)Impairment Losses;
(iv)Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration and Other Costs;
(v)Loss from Early Debt Extinguishment, of Debt;Pension and Other Charges; and
(vi)Significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations.operations
Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Net Income.Income from Continuing Operations. There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or 2019.2020.
The Company believes that Adjusted Consolidated Net Operating Income provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Income (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Equity and Convertible Securities, Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments and Impairment Losses related to investments included in the Company’s results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions that impact the values of the Company’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. LossAcquisition Related Transaction and Integration Costs may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by the timing of acquisitions and business decisions which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Debt Extinguishment, Pension and Other Charges relate to (i) loss from Early Extinguishmentearly extinguishment of Debtdebt, which is driven by the Company’s financing and refinancing decisions and capital needs, as well as external economic developments such as debt market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Acquisition Related Transaction, Integration and Other Costs may vary significantly between periods andprocess; (ii) settlement of pension plan obligations which are generally drivenbusiness decisions are made by the Company, the timing of acquisitions and business decisions which areis unrelated to the underwriting process; and (iii) other charges that are non-standard, not part of the ordinary course of business, and unrelated to the
insurance underwriting process. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s business or economic trends.
The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Company’s businesses.

Subsidiary Dividends and Capital Contributions
Various state insurance laws restrict the ability of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws generally restrict the amount of dividends paid in an annual period to the greater of statutory net income from the previous year or 10% of statutory capital and surplus. Kemper made a $17.0 million capital contribution to one of its insurance subsidiaries during the first nine months of 2020 and Kemper’s direct insurance subsidiaries collectively paid $305.0$115.0 million in dividends to Kemper during the first ninethree months of 2020.2021. Kemper estimates that its direct insurance subsidiaries would be able to pay approximately $137.0$296.1 million in additional dividends to Kemper during the remainder of 20202021 without prior regulatory approval.
Sources and Uses of Funds
Kemper and its direct non-insurance subsidiaries directly held cash and investments totaling $738.7$607.1 million at September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, compared to $206.8$733.2 million at December 31, 2019.2020.
The primary sources of funds available for repayment of Kemper’s indebtedness, repurchases of common stock, future shareholder dividend payments and the payment of interest on Kemper’s senior notes and term loan, include cash and investments directly held by Kemper, receipt of dividends from Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries and borrowings under the credit agreement and from subsidiaries.
The primary sources of funds for Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment income, proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments, advances from the FHLBs of Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco, and capital contributions from Kemper. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses, the purchase of investments and repayments of advances from the FHLBs of Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco.
Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid. During periods of growth, property and casualty insurance companies typically experience positive operating cash flows and are able to invest a portion of their operating cash flows to fund future policyholder benefits and claims. During periods in which premium revenues decline, insurance companies may experience negative cash flows from operations and may need to sell investments to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. In addition, if the Company’s property and casualty

insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may have to be sold in advance of their maturity dates to fund payments, which could result in either investment gains or losses. Management believes that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the event that they were to experience several future catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Kemper’s subsidiaries conduct their operations in two industries: property and casualty insurance and life and health insurance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The process of estimation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could ultimately differ materially from the estimated amounts reported in a company’s financial statements. Different assumptions are likely to result in different estimates of reported amounts.
The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill and the valuation of pension benefit obligations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 20192020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the 20192020 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Based on such evaluation, Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Kemper in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a discussion of the Company’s significant risk factors, see Item 1A. of Part I of the 2019 Annual Report. Except for the addition of the risk factors below, which were previously included in Item 1A. of Part II of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 there were no significant changes in the risk factors included in Item 1A. of Part I of the 2019 Annual Report.

Risk Factors Added
The impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions could materially affect Kemper’s results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity.
Beginning in March 2020, the global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 began to adversely impact the global economy and has resulted in an unprecedented global economic downturn, including in the United States where the Company conducts its operations. Given the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and its effects upon the economy, and the dynamic nature of the circumstances, all direct and indirect consequences of COVID-19 are unknown and highly uncertain and it is not possible for Kemper to estimate the scope and extent of its future effects on the Company with any degree of certainty.
As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic consequences, the Company could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could individually and collectively have a material, adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:
•decrease in overall premium volumes due to the economic downturn and rising unemployment rates
•adverse impact on investment portfolio as a result of ratings downgrades, increased bankruptcies and credit spread widening in distressed industries, such as energy, gaming, lodging and leisure, autos, airlines and retail
•increase in estimated credit losses on fixed maturity investments held at fair value as well as other investments and receivables from policyholders
•higher incurred losses and LAE in Life & Health lines of business related to an increase in frequency and/or severity of claims
•regulatory actions imposing new requirements that could result in increased costs, reduced revenues, expansion of coverage and other effects, and additional restrictions that could affect the Company’s pricing, risk selection and particular rights and obligations under its insurance policies and with regard to its insureds, including the ability to cancel policies and collect premiums
•disruptions in business operations and availability of critical systems due to illness and other effects on the workforce of the Company and its business partners and key vendors
•increased cybersecurity risks with regard to personal information due to remote working arrangements and resulting changes in certain operational controls
These additional risks and related factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided. For a further discussion of risks that could impact the Company as a result of certain factors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Summary of Results” and other disclosures in Item 2, MD&A, of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes to, or the potential replacement of, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with an alternative reference rate index may impact our financial results, including the value of certain investments we hold, our net investment income, and other assets or liabilities whose value or cash flows are tied to LIBOR.
LIBOR is a common benchmark rate widely utilized by market participants to set and adjust the interest rate on floating rate securities and loans, as well as other financial instruments.
In July 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR reference rates after 2021. In this case, it is expected that these LIBOR reference rates will no longer be available after 2021. While alternative reference rates have been developed, including The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the broad acceptance and the timing of transition to such alternative rates in the pricing of existing and new financial contracts by market participants remains uncertain. Discontinuance of, or potential changes to, LIBOR and the extent of any such changes, or the establishment of alternative reference rates, may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based securities and could adversely impact the value of the Company’s investments, net investment income, the cost of borrowing under Kemper’s unsecured revolving credit facility, and other assets or liabilities with values tied to LIBOR.
