CNO Financial Group | 3Q2014 Earnings | October 29, 2014 2 Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements made in this presentation should be considered forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include statements about future results of operations and capital plans. We caution investors that these forward- looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially. Investors should consider the important risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ, including those included in our press release issued on October 28, 2014, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update this presentation, which speaks as of today’s date.

CNO Financial Group | 3Q2014 Earnings | October 29, 2014 3 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 the net loss on the sale of CLIC and gain (loss) on reinsurance transactions, the earnings of CLIC prior to being sold, net realized investment gains (losses), fair value changes in embedded derivative liabilities, equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to variable interest entities, net revenue pursuant to transition and support services agreements, corporate interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and taxes; and debt to capital ratios, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 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 “Investors – SEC Filings” section of CNO’s website, www.CNOinc.com.

CNO Financial Group | 3Q2014 Earnings | October 29, 2014 35 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 loss on sale of CLIC and gain (loss) on reinsurance transactions, the earnings of CLIC prior to being sold, net realized gains or losses, fair value changes due to fluctuations in the interest rates used to discount embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index annuities, equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to variable interest entities, net revenue pursuant to transition and support services agreements, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in 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 these items are unrelated to the Company’s continuing operations. Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CNO Financial Group | 3Q2014 Earnings | October 29, 2014 38 Book value per diluted share Book value per diluted share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised, restricted stock and performance units were vested and convertible securities were converted. The dilution from options, warrants, 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 and warrants (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. 3Q13 4Q13 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 Total shareholders' equity 4,786.6$ 4,955.2$ 4,710.2$ 4,844.3$ 4,722.0$ Shares outstanding for the period 222,007,214 220,323,823 219,266,947 213,755,190 207,640,050 Book value per share 21.56$ 22.49$ 21.48$ 22.66$ 22.74$ Total shareholders' equity 4,786.6$ 4,955.2$ 4,710.2$ 4,844.3$ 4,722.0$ Less accumulated other comprehensive income (634.0) (731.8) (766.2) (926.1) (859.3) A justed shareholders' equity excluding AOCI 4,152.6$ 4,223.4$ 3,944.0$ 3,918.2$ 3,862.7$ S r ut t ing for the period 222,007,214 220,323,823 219,266,947 213,755,190 207,640,050 Dilutive common stock equivalents related to: Warrants, stock options, restricted stock and performance units 5,686,148 6,543,950 5,839,726 5,780,892 2,406,402 Diluted shares outstanding 227,693,362 226,867,773 225,106,673 219,536,082 210,046,452 Book value per diluted share (a non-GAAP financial measure) 18.24$ 18.62$ 17.52$ 17.85$ 18.39$ 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 per share amounts): Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CNO Financial Group | 3Q2014 Earnings | October 29, 2014 39 Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures The interest-adjusted benefit ratio (a non-GAAP measure) is calculated by dividing the product's insurance policy benefits less imputed interest income on the accumulated assets backing the insurance liabilities by insurance policy income. Interest income is an important factor in measuring the performance of longer duration health products. The net cash flows generally cause an accumulation of amounts in the early years of a policy (accounted for as reserve increases), which will be paid out as benefits in later policy years (accounted for as reserve decreases). Accordingly, as the policies age, the benefit ratio will typically increase, but the increase in the change in reserve will be partially offset by the imputed interest income earned on the accumulated assets. The interest-adjusted benefit ratio reflects the effects of such interest income offset. Since interest income is an important factor in measuring the performance of these products, management believes a benefit ratio, which includes the effect of interest income, is useful in analyzing product performance. 3Q13 4Q13 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 Bankers Life Long-term care benefit ratios Earned premium 132.6$ 130.9$ 129.1$ 127.4$ 125.5$ Benefit ratio before imputed interest income on reserves 128.4% 130.0% 131.9% 131.2% 123.6% Interest-adjusted benefit ratio 79.4% 80.0% 81.0% 79.2% 70.5% Underwriting margin (earned premium plus imputed interest income on reserves less policy benefits) 27.3$ 26.1$ 24.5$ 26.5$ 36.9$ Washi gton National Sup le e tal health benefit ratios E rn d pr m u 121.8$ 124.4$ 125.8$ 126.8$ 125.8$ Benefit ratio before imputed interest income on reserves 81.7% 76.7% 78.9% 80.3% 81.9% Interest-adjusted benefit ratio 55.1% 50.6% 53.0% 54.8% 56.0% Underwriting margin (earned premium plus imputed interest income on reserves less policy benefits) 54.7$ 61.5$ 59.1$ 57.4$ 55.2$ Interest-adjusted benefit ratios

CNO Financial Group | 3Q2014 Earnings | October 29, 2014 40 Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures Operating return measures Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before the net loss on sale of CLIC and gain (loss) on reinsurance transactions, the earnings of CLIC prior to being sold, net realized gains or losses, fair value changes due to fluctuations in the interest rates used to discount embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index annuities, equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to variable interest entities, net revenue pursuant to transition and support services agreements, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in 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 these items are unrelated to the Company’s continuing operations. 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.
