For Immediate Release


CNO Financial Group Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
Strong sales and distribution force growth; Total new annualized premiums up 8%;
Solid first quarter earnings

Carmel, Ind., April 29, 2024 - CNO Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CNO) today reported net income of $112.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in 1Q24 compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in 1Q23. Net operating income (1) was $57.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in 1Q24 compared to $58.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in 1Q23.

"First quarter results were among the best operating metrics we’ve delivered in the past several years with respect to Consumer and Worksite sales, our distribution force and new products," said Gary C. Bhojwani, chief executive officer.

"Operating earnings benefited from growth in insurance product margins, reflecting recent sales momentum and expansion of the portfolio yield on five quarters of new money rates exceeding 6%. The only material item that offset our strong operating results in the quarter was $24.3 million of unfavorable mark-to-market pre-tax impacts on real estate partnerships within our alternative investment portfolio. These assets are delivering stable cash flows; however, the economic environment is pressuring their market values. Despite these impacts, total net investment income was up in the quarter."

"Our financial health remains strong, as shown by our excellent capital position and growth in book value per diluted share. We remain focused on serving the needs of middle-income consumers and delivering sustainable profitable growth for our shareholders."

First Quarter 2024 Highlights (as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year where applicable)
•    Consumer Division new annualized premiums ("NAP") (4) up 7% and producing agent count up 8%

Worksite Division NAP up 19% and producing agent count up 28%

Medicare Supplement NAP up 24%, Medicare Advantage policies sold up 38%

•     Returned $57.3 million to shareholders

•     Book value per share was $21.81; book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, (2) was $34.97

•     Return on equity ("ROE") of 18.8%; operating ROE, as adjusted, (5) of 9.7%

Full year guidance remains unchanged





FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Quarter End
(Amounts in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Net operating income, a non-GAAP(a) financial measure, is used consistently by CNO’s management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. It differs from net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as net realized investment gains (losses) from sales and change in the allowance for credit losses, changes in fair values of embedded derivatives and market risk benefits and the liability for a deferred compensation plan, and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company’s business. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

____________________
(a)    GAAP is defined as accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(b)    Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance product lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Insurance margin is management’s measure of the profitability of its annuity, health and life segments’ performance and consists of insurance policy income plus allocated investment income less insurance policy benefits, interest credited, commissions, advertising expense and amortization of acquisition costs.
(c)    Investment income not allocated to product lines represents net investment income less: (i) equity returns credited to policyholder account balances; (ii) the investment income allocated to our product lines; (iii) interest expense on notes payable, investment borrowings and financing arrangements; (iv) expenses related to the funding agreement-backed notes ("FABN") program; and (v) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income; plus (vi) the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY (continued)
Management vs. GAAP Measures
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is primarily attributable to fluctuations in interest rates associated with fixed maturities, available for sale. Management views the business in this manner because the Company has the ability and generally, the intent, to hold investments to maturity and meaningful trends can be more easily identified without the fluctuations. In addition, shareholders' equity excludes net operating loss carryforwards in our non-GAAP return on equity measures as such 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.

Non-Operating Items
Net investment losses in 1Q24 were $4.6 million net of a reduction in the allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million. Net investment losses in 1Q23 were $12.7 million including an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million.

During 1Q24 and 1Q23, we recognized an increase (decrease) in earnings of $12.4 million and $(1.9) million, respectively, due to the net change in market value of investments.

During 1Q24 and 1Q23, we recognized an increase (decrease) in earnings of $64.0 million and $(65.1) million, respectively, resulting from changes in the estimated fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities. Such amounts include the impacts of changes in market interest rates and equity impacts used to determine the estimated fair values of the embedded derivatives and market risk benefits.

NOTES
(1)Management believes that an analysis of Net income applicable to common stock before: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and the change in allowance for credit losses, net of taxes; (ii) net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, net of taxes; (iii) changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities, net of taxes; (iv) fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, net of taxes; (v) loss related to reinsurance transaction, net of taxes; (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt, net of taxes; (vii) changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items; and (viii) other non-operating items consisting primarily of earnings attributable to variable interest entities, net of 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 the items excluded from net operating income can be affected by events that are unrelated to the company's underlying fundamentals. A reconciliation of Net operating income to Net income applicable to common stock is provided in the table on page 2. Additional information concerning this non-GAAP measure 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, CNOinc.com.
(2)Book value per diluted share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and restricted stock and performance units were vested. The dilution from options, restricted shares and performance units is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, we assume the proceeds from the exercise of the options (or the unrecognized compensation expense with respect to restricted stock and performance units) will be used to purchase shares of our common stock at the closing market price on the last day of the period. In addition, the calculation of this non-GAAP measure differs from the corresponding GAAP measure because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been excluded from the value of capital used to determine this measure. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the volatility that arises from changes in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of our investments.
(3)The calculation of this non-GAAP measure differs from the corresponding GAAP measure because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been excluded from the value of capital used to determine this measure. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the volatility that arises from changes in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of our investments.
(4)Measured by new annualized premiums for life and health products, which includes 10% of single premium whole life deposits and 100% of all other premiums (excluding annuities). Sales of third-party products are excluded.
(5)The following summarizes the calculations of: (i) operating return on equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and net operating loss carryforwards (a non-GAAP financial measure); (ii) operating return, excluding significant items, on equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and net operating loss carryforwards (a non-GAAP financial measure); and (iii) return on equity are as follows (dollars in millions):

Notes

(1)Excludes accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the volatility that arises from changes in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of our investments.
(2)Shareholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding.
(3)Book value per diluted share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and restricted stock and performance units were vested. The dilution from options, restricted shares and performance units is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, we assume the proceeds from the exercise of the options (or the unrecognized compensation expense with respect to restricted stock and performance units) will be used to purchase shares of our common stock at the closing market price on the last day of the period.
(4)Insurance margin is management’s measure of profitability of its annuity, health and life product lines’ performance and consists of insurance policy income plus allocated investment income less insurance policy benefits, interest credited, commissions, advertising expense and amortization of acquisition costs. Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance product lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of results of our insurance product lines. Income from insurance products, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income on page 5 of this Quarterly Financial Supplement.
(5)Investment income is allocated to the product lines using the book yield of investments backing the block of business, which is applied to the average net insurance liabilities for the block in each period. See note (11) for definition of net insurance liabilities.
(6)Excludes the change in market values of the underlying options supporting the fixed indexed annuity products and corresponding amount credited to policyholder account balances. Such amounts were $16.5 million, $56.1 million, $(49.8) million, $95.5 million and $128.6 million in 1Q23, 2Q23, 3Q23, 4Q23 and 1Q24, respectively.
(7)Excludes the change in market values of the underlying options supporting the fixed indexed life products and corresponding amount credited to policyholder account balances. Such amounts were $2.1 million, $6.2 million, $(4.8) million, $9.7 million and $11.1 million in 1Q23, 2Q23, 3Q23, 4Q23 and 1Q24, respectively.
(8)Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of results of our insurance product lines. Income from insurance products, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income on page 5 of this Quarterly Financial Supplement.
(9)Investment income not allocated to product lines represents net investment income less: (i) equity returns credited to policyholder account balances; (ii) the investment income allocated to our product lines; (iii) interest expense on notes payable, investment borrowings and financing arrangements; (iv) expenses related to the FABN program; and (v) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income; plus (vi) the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders. Investment income not allocated to product lines includes investment income on investments in excess of of amounts allocated to product lines, investments held by our holding companies, the spread we earn from our Federal Home Loan Bank investment borrowing and FABN programs and variable components of investment income (including call and prepayment income, adjustments to returns on structured securities due to cash flow changes, income (loss) from company-owned life insurance ("COLI") and alternative investments income not allocated to product lines), net of interest expense on corporate debt and financing arrangements.
(10)Management believes that an analysis of Net income applicable to common stock before: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and change in allowance for credit losses, net of taxes; (ii) net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, net of taxes; (iii) changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities, net of taxes; (iv) fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, net of taxes; (v) loss related to reinsurance transaction, net of taxes; (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt, net of taxes; (vii) changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items; and (viii) other non-operating items consisting primarily of earnings attributable to variable interest entities, net of 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 the items excluded from net operating income can be affected by events that are unrelated to the company's underlying fundamentals.
(11)Net insurance liabilities for the purpose of allocating investment income to product lines are equal to: (i) policyholder account balances for annuity products; (ii) total reserves before the fair value adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), if applicable, for all other products; less (iii) amounts related to reinsurance business; (iv) deferred acquisition costs; (v) the present value of future profits; and (vi) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities.
(12)Margin/average net insurance liabilities for quarterly periods is calculated by annualizing the quarters' margin divided by the average net insurance liabilities.
(13)Based on statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities for CNO Financial's U.S. based insurance subsidiaries after appropriate elimination of intercompany accounts among such subsidiaries. Such accounting practices differ from GAAP.
(14)The new money rate is for the investments purchased during the period to support our insurance products and capital. It excludes the new money rate on investments purchased with investment borrowings under our Federal Home Loan Bank and FABN programs and investments purchased by the variable interest entities.

Page 21


Notes (continued)
(15)Book yield on fixed maturity investments, excluding investments held in the: (i) Federal Home Loan Bank and FABN programs; and (ii) the investments held by the variable interest entities.
(16)Earned yield is the investment income earned during the period divided by the average book value of the investment portfolio, excluding: (i) investments held in the Federal Home Loan Bank and FABN programs; and (ii) the investments held by the variable interest entities.

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains financial measures that differ from the comparable measures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Reconciliations between those non-GAAP measures and the comparable GAAP measures are included in the Appendix, or on the page such measure is presented.

26 Value of NOLs Details  Effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its method of accounting for indirect costs allocable to self-constructed real estate assets. This method change will result in a current year deduction of certain costs previously capitalized under the prior method. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $987 million in the first quarter of 2024 for tax reporting purposes. In 2024, the loss will offset 100% of non-life taxable income and 35% of life taxable income.

The income tax expense or benefit allocated to the items included in net non-operating income (loss) represents the current and deferred income tax expense or benefit allocated to the items included in non-operating earnings. Management uses this measure to evaluate performance because the items excluded from net operating income can be affected by events that are unrelated to the company's underlying fundamentals.

33 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 net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and change in allowance for credit losses, net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items and other non-operating items consisting primarily of earnings attributable to variable interest entities (“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 the items excluded from net operating income can be affected by events that are unrelated to the Company’s underlying fundamentals.

36 Book value per diluted share Book value per diluted share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised, restricted stock and performance units were vested, and convertible securities were converted. The dilution from options, restricted shares and performance units is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under this method, we assume the proceeds from the exercise of the options (or the unrecognized compensation expense with respect to restricted stock and performance units) will be used to purchase shares of our common stock at the closing market price on the last day of the period. In addition, the calculation of this non-GAAP measure differs from the corresponding GAAP measure because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been excluded from the value of capital used to determine this measure. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the volatility that arises from changes in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of our investments. A reconciliation from book value per share to book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is as follows: (dollars in millions, except share and per-share amounts) 1Q23 2Q23 3Q23 4Q23 1Q24 Total shareholders' equity 2,031.8$ 1,995.8$ 1,890.1$ 2,215.6$ 2,367.7$ Shares outstanding for the period 114,905,172 113,673,882 112,163,169 109,357,540 108,568,594 Book value per share 17.68$ 17.56$ 16.85$ 20.26$ 21.81$ Total shareholders' equity 2,031.8$ 1,995.8$ 1,890.1$ 2,215.6$ 2,367.7$ Accumulated other comprehensive loss (1,664.4) (1,733.5) (1,956.7) (1,576.8) (1,480.3) Adjusted shareholders' equity excluding AOCI 3,696.2$ 3,729.3$ 3,846.8$ 3,792.4$ 3,848.0$ Shares outstanding for the period 114,905,172 113,673,882 112,163,169 109,357,540 108,568,594 Dilutive common stock equivalents related to: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 1,270,836 1,629,412 1,811,501 2,392,716 1,467,901 Diluted shares outstanding 116,176,008 115,303,294 113,974,670 111,750,256 110,036,495 Book value per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) 31.82$ 32.34$ 33.75$ 33.94$ 34.97$ INFORMATION RELATED TO CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


 
37 Operating return measures Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and change in allowance for credit losses, net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items, loss on extinguishment of debt and other non-operating items consisting primarily of earnings attributable to variable interest entities (“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 the items excluded from net operating income can be affected by events that are unrelated to the Company’s underlying fundamentals. Management also believes that an operating return, excluding significant items, is important as the impact of these items enhances the understanding of our operating results. 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 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. 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.
