KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kansas City Life Insurance Company recorded a net loss of $3.2 million or $0.33 per share in the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $7.7 million or $0.79 per share in the first quarter of 2022.

These results included improvements in premiums, net of reinsurance, and contract charges in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. In addition, investment revenues increased over the prior year, reflecting increases in yields earned on certain investments and higher realized investment gains. In addition, operating expenses and interest credited to policyholder account balances were lower than one year earlier. Conversely, policyholder benefits were higher in the first quarter of 2023 than in the first quarter of 2022. A decrease in death benefits, net of reinsurance, was more than offset by an increase in benefit and contract reserves compared to the prior year.
