Kansas City Life Insurance Reports Q3 2025 Financial Performance Highlights

Kansas City Life Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Kansas City Life Insurance Company has unveiled its financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a significant increase in net income compared to the same period last year. The company reported net income of $3.2 million, or $0.33 per share, up from $1.3 million, or $0.14 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. This improvement was largely attributed to higher investment revenues and a decrease in policyholder benefits, particularly due to a drop in death benefits after reinsurance adjustments.

However, it's important to note that this positive development was tempered by a decline in insurance revenues, marking a mixed performance for the company. Over the first nine months of 2025, Kansas City Life faced a net loss of $23.0 million, equating to $2.38 per share, compared to a net income of $7.6 million, or $0.79 per share, in the same timeframe in 2024. The primary contributor to this notable decrease was a legal settlement accrual of $35.5 million, net of tax, established in the second quarter related to potential class action lawsuit settlements. Excluding this accrual, the company's net income would have been around $12.5 million, or $1.29 per share, indicating a general improvement over the previous year, driven primarily by lower policyholder benefits.

Kansas City Life, established in 1895 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, specializes in offering financial protection through its life insurance and annuity products. The company operates across 49 states and the District of Columbia, catering to a wide audience in need of insurance solutions. Their ongoing commitment to providing security and peace of mind to policyholders has been evident in recent financial results, showcasing resilience in a challenging market.

Despite the mixed results, Kansas City Life maintains a steady dividend payout, which stood at $0.14 per share for both the most recent quarter and the previous year, reflecting consistent returns to shareholders in light of operational challenges.
