Kemper Receives Outstanding Balance of Arbitration Award

Kemper Corporation KMPR announced today that its subsidiary, Kemper Corporate Services, Inc., has received $89.4 million as satisfaction of the remaining balance due on a judgment related to a 2017 arbitration award against Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC"). In January, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed a district court ruling that confirmed the arbitration award in favor of Kemper Corporate Services.

The remaining balance at December 31, 2019 was treated as a gain contingency for accounting purposes in Kemper's 2019 consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, Kemper will recognize a gain of $89.4 million in its first quarter 2020 consolidated financial statements related to the final payment. CSC and its parent, DXC Technology Company ("DXC"), previously paid Kemper a total of $55.8 million in partial satisfaction of the final judgment. Kemper recognized $20.1 million and $35.7 million of such payments in other income in its consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
