CNO Financial Group | 1Q2016 Earnings | April 28, 2016 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, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, other non-operating items, corporate interest expense 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 | 1Q2016 Earnings | April 28, 2016 26 Quarterly Earnings CNO *Management believes that an analysis of earnings before net realized investment gains (losses), fair value changes in embedded derivative liabilities, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, other non-operating items, corporate interest expense and taxes (“EBIT,” a non-GAAP financial measure) provides a clearer comparison of the operating results of the company quarter-over-quarter because it excludes: (1) net realized investment gains (losses); (2) fair value changes due to fluctuations in the interest rates used to discount embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index annuities that are unrelated to the company’s underlying fundamentals; (3) fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan; (4) loss on extinguishment of debt; (5) charges in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and (6) other non-operating items consisting primarily of equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to variable interest entities.

CNO Financial Group | 1Q2016 Earnings | April 28, 2016 27 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 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, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other non-operating items consisting primarily of equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to variable interest entities (“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 | 1Q2016 Earnings | April 28, 2016 30 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, 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. 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 1Q16 Total shareholders' equity 4,753.6$ 4,364.2$ 4,171.0$ 4,138.5$ 4,226.6$ Shares outstanding for the period 198,631,949 193,467,712 186,741,760 184,028,511 179,098,447 Book value per share 23.93$ 22.56$ 22.34$ 22.49$ 23.60$ Total shareholders' equity 4,753.6$ 4,364.2$ 4,171.0$ 4,138.5$ 4,226.6$ Less accumulated other comprehensive income (934.2) (605.0) (510.4) (402.8) (540.5) A justed shareholders' equity excluding AOCI 3,819.4$ 3,759.2$ 3,660.6$ 3,735.7$ 3,686.1$ S r ut t ing for the period 198,631,949 193,467,712 186,741,760 184,028,511 179,098,447 Dilutive common stock equivalents related to: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 1,857,139 2,243,615 2,176,988 2,311,877 1,803,822 Diluted shares outstanding 200,489,088 195,711,327 188,918,748 186,340,388 180,902,269 Book value per diluted share (a non-GAAP financial measure) 19.05$ 19.21$ 19.38$ 20.05$ 20.38$ 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 | 1Q2016 Earnings | April 28, 2016 31 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. The interest-adjusted benefit ratio excluding the impact of rate increases eliminates the release of reserves due to the impact of policyholder actions following rate increases. 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 1Q16 Bankers Life Long-term care benefit ratios Earned premium 122.6$ 120.5$ 119.0$ 118.6$ 118.5$ Benefit ratio before imputed interest income on reserves 137.8% 140.7% 141.1% 137.1% 132.9% Interest-adjusted benefit ratio 83.0% 84.6% 83.8% 79.6% 75.3% Interest-adjusted benefit ratio, exluding the impact of reserve releases due to rate increases 83.0% 84.6% 83.8% 85.5% 82.4% Underwriting margin (earned premium plus imputed interest income on reserves less policy benefits) 20.8$ 18.6$ 19.3$ 24.2$ 29.3$ A just d und rwriting margin (excluding the impact of reserve releases due to rate increases) 20.8 18.6 19.3 17.2 20.9 Was ington National Supplemental health benefit ratios Earned premium 132.8$ 134.4$ 136.6$ 138.0$ 139.2$ Benefit ratio before imputed interest income on reserves 82.4% 90.3% 81.7% 81.8% 81.2% Interest-adjusted benefit ratio 57.6% 65.7% 57.4% 57.5% 57.7% Underwriting margin (earned premium plus imputed interest income on reserves less policy benefits) 56.2$ 46.1$ 58.2$ 58.6$ 58.9$ Interest-adjusted benefit ratios
CNO Financial Group | 1Q2016 Earnings | April 28, 2016 32 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, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other non-operating items consisting primarily of equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to variable interest entities (“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.
