KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kansas City Life Insurance Company recorded net income of $4.5 million or $0.46 per share in the second quarters of both 2023 and 2022. In the first six months of 2023 we recorded net income of $1.2 million or $0.13 per share compared to a net loss of $3.2 million or $0.33 per share in the first six months of 2022.

The results for the second quarter of 2023 reflected higher investment revenues and lower amortization of deferred acquisition costs compared to the second quarter of 2022. Partially offsetting these improvements, insurance revenues declined, primarily from an increase in reinsurance ceded premiums, and policyholder benefits and operating expenses increased.

The improvement in the first six months of 2023 compared to the prior year reflected increases in investment and insurance revenues and lower amortization of deferred acquisition costs. Partially offsetting these, policyholder benefits and operating expenses increased.
