The increased guidance largely is attributable to strong second-quarter net investment income returns and lower-than-guided second-quarter catastrophe losses. The company now expects 2021 core return on equity will be above 10%.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHorace Mann\u2019s alternatives portfolio generated outsized returns in the second quarter, primarily benefiting the Property and Casualty segment,\u201d said President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. \u201cDriving higher investment income through increasing our alternative investments portfolio allocation is a strategic driver of sustained double-digit return on equity. Still, several private equity funds saw realizations significantly above expectations during the quarter, leading to the strong return on the alternatives portfolio.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe revised full-year 2021 guidance assumes total net investment income will increase to the range of $385 million to $405 million due to second-quarter results, compared with the prior guidance of $370 million to $390 million.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIn addition, we now expect catastrophe losses for the just-ended second quarter will be approximately $15 million to $18 million, significantly below what we had planned when we previously outlined our guidance for full-year 2021,\u201d Zuraitis continued. \u201cThe 17 events designated as catastrophes in this year\u2019s second quarter by Property Claims Services (PCS) were generally less severe and not as widespread as the 20 declared catastrophe events in last year\u2019s second quarter.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe revised full-year 2021 guidance reflects the company\u2019s assumption that second-half catastrophe losses will contribute between $20 million and $25 million, unchanged from previous guidance and in line with the 10-year average for second-half catastrophe losses.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur original 2021 guidance anticipated Auto and Supplemental loss ratios would gradually return toward pre-pandemic levels as policyholders resume more normal driving patterns and utilize more healthcare services, respectively,\u201d Zuraitis said. \u201cIn line with industry experience, we are seeing clear signs that Auto loss ratios are on the anticipated path to pre-pandemic levels, but Supplemental policyholder behavior appears to be responding to the post-vaccine environment more slowly than we had expected. We will provide additional commentary on the effect of these trends and other factors related to segment-level guidance when we report second-quarter results.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe remain focused on our long-term objective of a sustainable double-digit return on equity,\u201d Zuraitis concluded. \u201cMidway through the year, we continue to see signs that our unwavering commitment to the education market, and multi-year emphasis on products, distribution and infrastructure, is setting the stage for success in the post-vaccine environment.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Horace Mann Educators Corporation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHorace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE: HMN) is the largest financial services company focused on providing America\u2019s educators and school employees with insurance and retirement solutions.
