Forward-Looking Statements

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.  Our statements, trend analyses and other information contained in these
materials relative to markets for Conseco’s products and trends in Conseco’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) our ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases on our supplemental health products
including our long-term care business; (ii) mortality, morbidity, 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; (iii) changes in our assumptions related to the cost of
policies produced or the value of policies inforce at the Effective Date; (iv) the recoverability of our deferred tax asset; (v) changes in accounting
principles and the interpretation thereof; (vi) 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; (vii) performance of our investments;
(viii) 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; (ix) the ultimate outcome of lawsuits filed against us and other legal and
regulatory proceedings to which we are subject; (x) our ability to remediate the material weakness in internal controls over the actuarial reporting
process that we identified at year-end 2006 and to maintain effective controls over financial reporting; (xi) our ability to continue to recruit and
retain productive agents and distribution partners and customer response to new products, distribution channels and marketing initiatives; (xii)
our ability to achieve eventual upgrades of the financial strength ratings of Conseco and our insurance company subsidiaries as well as the
potential impact of rating downgrades on our business; (xiii) the risk factors or uncertainties listed from time to time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission; (xiv) regulatory changes or actions, including those relating to regulation of the financial affairs of our
insurance  companies, such as the payment of dividends 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; (xv) general economic conditions and other factors, including prevailing interest rate levels, stock and credit market
performance and health care inflation, which may affect (among other things) our ability to sell products and access capital on acceptable terms,
the returns on and the market value of our investments, and the lapse rate and profitability of policies; and (xvi) 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 written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
foregoing cautionary statement.  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 diluted 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.

While management believes these measures are useful to enhance understanding and comparability of
our financial results, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered 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 “Investor – SEC Filings” section of
Conseco’s website, www.conseco.com.

Bankers

Management believes that an analysis of income (loss) before net realized investment gains (losses), net of
related amortization (a non-GAAP financial measure), is important to evaluate the financial performance of our
business, and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this measure to
evaluate performance because realized gains or losses can be affected by events that are unrelated to a
company’s underlying fundamentals. The chart on Page 8 reconciles the non-GAAP measure to the
corresponding GAAP measure. See Appendix for a reconciliation of the return on equity 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 “Investor – SEC Filings” section of Conseco’s website,
www.conseco.com.

Operating earnings measures
Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before net realized gains or losses (“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 realized investment gains or losses can be affected by events that
are unrelated to the Company’s underlying fundamentals.

In addition, our results were affected by unusual and significant charges related to: (i) a litigation settlement in Q2 2006 and refinements to such
estimates recognized in subsequent periods; (ii) a Q3 2007 charge related to a coinsurance transaction; and (iii) a Q4 2007 valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets.  Management does not believe that similar charges are likely to recur within two years, and there were no similar charges
recognized within the prior two years.  Management believes an analysis of operating earnings before these charges is important to evaluate the
performance of the Company prior to the effect of these unusual and significant charges.

Book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, per diluted share
This non-GAAP financial measure differs from book value per diluted share because accumulated other comprehensive income 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. 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 net realized gains or losses (“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 realized investment gains or losses can be affected by events that are unrelated to the
Company’s underlying fundamentals.

In addition, our returns were affected by unusual and significant charges related to: (i) the litigation settlement in Q2 2006 and refinements to
such estimates recognized in subsequent periods; (ii) a Q3 2007 charge related to a coinsurance transaction; and (iii) a Q4 2007 valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets. Management does not believe that similar charges are likely to recur within two years, and there were no
similar charges recognized within the prior two years. Management believes an analysis of return before these charges and subsequent
refinements is important to evaluate the performance of the Company prior to the effect of these unusual and significant charges.

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.  Equity in all periods assumes the conversion of our 5.5% Class B Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock (which occurred in May 2007).
Operating return measures are used in measuring the performance of our business units and are used as a basis for incentive compensation.

All references to segment operating return measures assume a 25% debt to total capital ratio at the segment level. Additionally, corporate
expenses have been allocated to the segments.

Debt to capital ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

This non-GAAP financial measure differs from the debt to capital ratio because accumulated other comprehensive income has been excluded
from the value of capital used to determine this measure. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it removes
the volatility that arises from changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. 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.
