Kemper also announced today that it anticipates its results will include pre-tax catastrophe losses ranging from $30 million to $35 million (approximately $24 million to $28 million after tax) for the quarter ending September 30, 2021, primarily related to Hurricane Ida and several wind/hail events. The company does not expect to recover any of these losses under its reinsurance programs.

Additionally, due to court rulings in the second quarter of 2021 related to Florida personal injury protection (“PIP”), Kemper has experienced a further increase in litigated PIP claims. Therefore, the company expects actual loss reserve development to exceed its historical expectations across most accident years. To account for this, Kemper intends to further strengthen its reserves for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses on prior accident years by an additional $22 million to $27 million pre-tax (approximately $17 million to $21 million after tax) for the quarter ending September 30, 2021.
