CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR)
announced today that it estimates that its first quarter 2016 results
will include pre-tax catastrophe losses in the range of $35 million to
$45 million. The company does not expect to recover any of these losses
under its catastrophe reinsurance program. While the losses were related
to a number of storms, the company noted that one hail storm in north
Texas on March 23 heavily impacted its policyholders in that area.
After the markets close on Thursday, May 5, Kemper will issue its first
quarter 2016 earnings release and financial supplement and will also
file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”). Following their publication, these documents
will be available on the investor section of kemper.com.
Kemper will host its conference call to discuss first quarter 2016
results on Friday, May 6, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m.
Central). The conference call will be accessible via the internet and by
telephone at 866.393.1565. To listen via webcast, register online
