Forward-Looking Statements
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Our statements, trend analyses and other information contained in this
press release relative to markets for CNO Financial’s products and trends in CNO Financial’s operations or financial results, as well as other
statements, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“project,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “contemplate,” “possible,” “attempt,” “seek,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “target,” “on track,” “comfortable
with,” “optimistic” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. You should consider statements that
contain these words carefully because they describe our expectations, plans, strategies and goals and our beliefs concerning future business
conditions, our results of operations, financial position, and our business outlook or they state other ‘‘forward-looking’’ information based on
currently available information. Assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in our forward-looking statements include, among other things: (i) changes in or sustained low interest rates causing a reduction in
investment income, the margins of our subsidiaries’ fixed annuity and life insurance businesses and demand for their products; (ii) general
economic, market and political conditions, including the performance and fluctuations of the financial markets which may affect our ability to
raise capital or refinance existing indebtedness and the cost of doing so; (iii) our ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service
obligations and other cash needs; (iv) our ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases on our health products, including our long-term
care business; (v) the receipt of any required regulatory approvals for dividend and surplus debenture interest payments from our insurance
subsidiaries; (vi) mortality, morbidity, the increased cost and usage of health care services, persistency, the adequacy of our previous reserve
estimates and other factors which may affect the profitability of our insurance products; (vii) changes in our assumptions related to deferred
acquisition costs or the present value of future profits; (viii) the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and the effect of potential ownership
changes and tax rate changes on their value; (ix) our assumption that the positions we take on our tax return filings, including our position that
our 7.0% convertible senior debentures due 2016 will not be treated as stock for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and will not trigger an ownership change, will not be successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service; (x) changes
in accounting principles and the interpretation thereof; (xi) our ability to continue to satisfy the financial ratio and balance requirements and other
covenants of our debt agreements; (xii) our ability to achieve anticipated expense reductions and levels of operational efficiencies including
improvements in claims adjudication and continued automation and rationalization of operating systems, (xiii) performance and valuation of our
investments, including the impact of realized losses (including other-than-temporary impairment charges); (xiv) our ability to identify products
and markets in which we can compete effectively against competitors with greater market share, higher ratings, greater financial resources and
stronger brand recognition; (xv) the ultimate outcome of lawsuits filed against us and other legal and regulatory proceedings to which we are
subject; (xvi) our ability to complete the remediation of the material weakness in internal controls over our actuarial reporting process and to
maintain effective controls over financial reporting; (xvii) our ability to continue to recruit and retain productive agents and distribution partners
and customer response to new products, distribution channels and marketing initiatives; (xviii) our ability to achieve eventual upgrades of the
financial strength ratings of CNO Financial and our insurance company subsidiaries as well as the impact of our ratings on our business, our
ability to access capital and the cost of capital; (xix) the risk factors or uncertainties listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission; (xx) regulatory changes or actions, including those relating to regulation of the financial affairs of our insurance
companies, such as the payment of dividends and surplus debenture interest to us, regulation of financial services affecting (among other
things) bank sales and underwriting of insurance products, regulation of the sale, underwriting and pricing of products, and health care
regulation affecting health insurance products; and (xxi) changes in the Federal income tax laws and regulations which may affect or eliminate
the relative tax advantages of some of our products. Other factors and assumptions not identified above are also relevant to the forward-
looking statements, and if they prove incorrect, could also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. All forward-looking
statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date made. We assume no obligation to update or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to
reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the forward-looking
statements.

Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation contains the following financial measures that differ from the
comparable measures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP):
operating earnings measures; book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) per share; operating return measures; earnings before net realized
investment gains (losses) and corporate interest and taxes; debt to capital ratios,
excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and interest-adjusted benefit
ratios. Reconciliations between those non-GAAP measures and the comparable GAAP
measures are included in the Appendix, or on the page such measure is presented.

*Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before: (1) loss on extinguishment or modification of debt, net of income taxes; and
(2) net realized investment gains or losses, net of related amortization and income taxes (“Net operating income,” a non-GAAP financial measure) is important to
evaluate the financial performance of the company, and is a key measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this measure to evaluate
performance because loss on extinguishment of debt and realized investment gains or losses can be affected by events that are unrelated to the company’s
underlying fundamentals. The table on page 11 reconciles the non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. A non-GAAP
measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts
that are normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP. While management believes these measures are useful to enhance understanding and comparability of our financial
results, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Additional information concerning non-GAAP measures is included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that are available in the “Investors - SEC Filings” section of CNO’s website, www.CNOinc.com.

Operating earnings measures
Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before loss on extinguishment or modification of
debt, net realized gains or losses and increases to our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (“net operating income,” a non-
GAAP financial measure) is important to evaluate the performance of the Company and is a key measure commonly used in the
life insurance industry. Management uses this measure to evaluate performance because loss on extinguishment or modification
of debt, realized investment gains or losses and increases to our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are unrelated to the
Company’s continuing operations.

Book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), per share
This non-GAAP financial measure differs from book value per share because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been
excluded from the book value used to determine the measure. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it
removes the volatility that arises from changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Such volatility is often caused by changes in
the estimated fair value of our investment portfolio resulting from changes in general market interest rates rather than the business decisions
made by management.

Operating return measures
Management believes that an analysis of return before loss on extinguishment or modification of debt, net realized gains or losses, and
increases to our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (“net operating income,” a non-GAAP financial measure) is important to evaluate the
performance of the Company and is a key measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this measure to evaluate
performance because loss on extinguishment or modification of debt, realized investment gains or losses, and increases to our valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets are unrelated to the Company’s continued operations.

This non-GAAP financial measure also differs from return on equity because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been
excluded from the value of equity used to determine this ratio. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it

In addition, our equity includes the value of significant net operating loss carryforwards (included in income tax assets). In accordance with
GAAP, these assets are not discounted, and accordingly will not provide a return to shareholders (until after it is realized as a reduction to taxes
that would otherwise be paid). Management believes that excluding this value from the equity component of this measure enhances the
understanding of the effect these non-discounted assets have on operating returns and the comparability of these measures from period-to-
period. Operating return measures are used in measuring the performance of our business units and are used as a basis for incentive
compensation.
