Kansas City Life Announces Fourth Quarter 2024 Results
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 4, 2025
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kansas City Life Insurance Company recorded a net loss of $12.6 million or $1.30 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024, down from net income of $49.1 million or $5.07 per share in the fourth quarter of 2023. The significant factors in the decrease in net income include lower insurance revenues and net investment gains and higher operating expenses compared to one year earlier. The increase in operating expenses reflected a $21.1 million pretax legal reserve established in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to class action lawsuits. Net investment gains were higher in 2023, largely due to real estate sales that generated large gains, and realized losses in 2024 due to portfolio repositioning. Partially offsetting these factors, net investment income increased and policyholder benefits decreased versus the prior year.
We recorded a net loss of $5.0 million or $0.51 per share for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net income of $54.9 million or $5.67 per share for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decline reflected the lower realized gains and increased operating expenses mentioned previously. In addition, insurance revenues decreased and interest credited on policyholder account balances increased. Partially offsetting these, net investment income increased and policyholder benefits declined.
