Horace Mann backs FY23 core EPS view $2.00-$2.30, consensus $1.96

"We remain confident that our growth over the next several years will increase our share of the education market," Zuraitis said. "As we move toward our longer-term profitability targets in the Property & Casualty segment, we continue to expect our 2023 core EPS will be in the range of $2.00 to $2.30. Our full-year view now reflects a higher contribution from the Supplemental & Group Benefit segment due to strong first-quarter results, offset by the impact of lower-than-expected net investment income for the Property & Casualty segment in the first quarter. In 2024, we believe we will return to a double-digit return on equity as core EPS approaches $4, driven by our profitable growth."
