For Immediate Release

CNO Financial Group Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

Strong third quarter with earnings per share up 237%; solid capital and liquidity;

completed $50 million in share repurchases

Carmel, Ind., November 2, 2020 - CNO Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CNO) today announced that for the quarter ending September 30, 2020, net income was $129.2 million, or $0.91 per diluted share compared to net income of $42.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share in 3Q19. Net operating income (1) in 3Q20 was $112.6 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $69.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share in 3Q19.

"CNO generated record operating earnings in the third quarter, driven by fewer health claims due to the deferral of care, strong investment results and continued expense discipline," said Gary C. Bhojwani, chief executive officer. "Consumer Division sales and distribution metrics neared, and in several areas exceeded, pre-COVID levels in the quarter. We continued to accelerate the integration of our direct-to-consumer and exclusive agent capabilities to offer customers more choice with how they wish to engage - online, over the phone or in-person with an agent."

"Our capital and liquidity levels remain robust and we returned $66.8 million to shareholders, including $50 million through share repurchases. Our performance this quarter underscores the continued strength and resiliency of our business. CNO remains well-positioned to navigate the ongoing economic uncertainty while continuing to enhance shareholder value."

Highlights

•Record operating (1) EPS up 76% from 3Q19 to $0.79

•Consumer Division life and health sales up 10%; direct-to-consumer sales up 23% from 3Q19

•Insurance product margin up 22% from 3Q19, favorably impacted by care deferrals that are expected to normalize in future periods

•Net investment income up 4% from 3Q19

•Returned $66.8 million to shareholders in the form of share repurchases ($50 million) and dividends ($16.8 million); reduced weighted average share count by 9% since 3Q19

•Generated return on equity (ROE) of 10.4%; operating ROE, as adjusted (6), of 11.9%

•Book value per diluted share was $36.32, up 22% from 3Q19; book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (2), was $23.45, up 16% from 3Q19

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 realized investment gains (losses), changes in fair values of embedded derivatives, equity securities 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.

Insurance margin is management’s measure of the profitability of its annuity, health and life segments’ performance and consists of premiums 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 is defined as 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 and investment borrowings; and (iv) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY (continued)

Management vs. GAAP Measures

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, and book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income 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.

INSURANCE MARGIN

(Amounts in millions, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Insurance margin is management’s measure of profitability of its annuity, health and life segments’ performance and consists of premiums 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 segments, less allocated insurance administrative expenses. It excludes the fee income segment, investment income not allocated to product lines, expenses not allocated to product lines and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of our operations. Insurance income, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income in the Financial Summary section above.

INVESTMENTS

INVESTMENT INCOME NOT ALLOCATED TO PRODUCT LINES

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Management uses investment income not allocated to product lines as the measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as net investment income less the investment income allocated to our product segments and interest expense on debt. We also view investment income not allocated to product lines per diluted share as an important and useful measure to evaluate performance of the investment segment as it takes into consideration our share repurchase program.

(a)     Certain structured securities rated below investment grade by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations may be assigned a NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 designation based on the cost basis of the security relative to estimated recoverable amounts as determined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

The fair value of CNO’s available for sale fixed maturity portfolio was $22.7 billion compared with an amortized cost of $19.8 billion. Net unrealized gains were comprised of gross unrealized gains of $3.0 billion and gross unrealized losses of $84 million. The allowance for credit losses was $7.6 million at September 30, 2020.

At amortized cost and fair value, 90 percent and 91 percent of fixed maturities, available for sale, were rated “investment grade”, respectively.

Acquisitions of fixed maturity investments during the quarter totaled $1.2 billion. Comparable information for acquisitions of fixed maturity investments is as follows:

Non-Operating Items

Net realized investment gains in 3Q20 were $7.7 million (net of related amortization) including the favorable change in the allowance for credit losses of $8.1 million which were recorded in earnings. Net realized investment losses in 3Q19 were $2.6 million (net of related amortization) including other-than-temporary impairment losses of $3.4 million which were recorded in earnings.

During 3Q20 and 3Q19, we recognized an increase in earnings of $8.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, due to the net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings.

During 3Q20 and 3Q19, we recognized a decrease in earnings of $1.6 million and $29.3 million, respectively, resulting from changes in the estimated fair value of embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index annuities, net of related amortization. Such amounts include the impacts of changes in market interest rates used to determine the derivative's estimated fair value.

In 3Q19, we recognized a decrease in earnings of $6.0 million for the mark-to-market change in the agent deferred compensation plan liability which was impacted by changes in the underlying actuarial assumptions used to value the liability. We recognize the mark-to-market change in the estimated value of this liability through earnings as assumptions change.

Statutory (based on non-GAAP measures) and GAAP Capital Information

Our consolidated statutory risk-based capital ratio was estimated at 428% at September 30, 2020, reflecting estimated 3Q20 statutory operating income of $130 million (and $358 million in the first nine months of 2020) and the payment of insurance company dividends to the holding company of $50.5 million during 3Q20 and $180.8 million during the first nine months of 2020. Statutory operating income and capital and surplus were favorably impacted by $99 million and $53 million, respectively, related to certain provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act in the first nine months of 2020.

During the third quarter of 2020, we repurchased $50.0 million of common stock under our securities repurchase program. We repurchased 3.0 million common shares at an average cost of $16.68 per share. As of September 30, 2020, we had 138.9 million shares outstanding and had authority to repurchase up to an additional $369.3 million of our common stock. During 3Q20, dividends paid on common stock totaled $16.8 million.

Unrestricted cash and investments held by our holding company were $236 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $187 million at December 31, 2019.

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 related amortization and taxes; (ii) net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, net of taxes; (iii) fair value changes due to fluctuations in the interest rates used to discount embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index annuities, net of related amortization and taxes; (iv) fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, net of taxes; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, net of taxes; (vi) 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. The dilution from convertible securities is calculated assuming the securities were converted 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 premium for life and health products, which includes 10% of single premium whole life deposits and 100% of all other premiums (excluding annuities). Medicare Advantage sales are not comparable to other sales and are therefore excluded in all periods.

(5)Net insurance liabilities are equal to total insurance liabilities less: (i) amounts related to reinsured business; (ii) deferred acquisition costs; (iii) present value of future profits; and (iv) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities.

(6)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):

(a)Given our expectation that interest rates will remain low for the long-term, we performed an actuarial unlocking exercise in the second quarter of 2020 to reflect our assumption that average new money rates will remain flat at 4 percent forever. This change and the related impacts to persistency assumptions had a $45.6 million unfavorable impact on pre-tax earnings. As part of the actuarial unlocking exercise, we also changed our assumptions related to the future option costs we incur in providing benefits on fixed index annuities which had a favorable impact on pre-tax earnings of $91.5 million. The impact of these changes in assumptions is summarized below (dollars in millions):

	Line of business
	Fixed index annuities		Fixed interest annuities		Interest- sensitive life		Total
	Favorable (unfavorable)
Impacts of an average new money rate assumption of 4 percent
Insurance policy benefits	$	(5.0)	$	—	$	(7.4)	$	(12.4)

Subtotal	91.5		—		—		91.5
Impact on pre-tax income	$	60.9	$	(9.4)	$	(5.6)	$	45.9

This actuarial unlocking exercise does not replace our comprehensive annual review of all assumptions for our insurance products, which we plan to complete in the fourth quarter of this year. Additional adjustments may be identified based on the results of the comprehensive annual review.

(b)We increased our liability for claims and interest pursuant to the previously disclosed Global Resolution Agreement entered into in November 2018. Pursuant to this agreement, a third-party auditor is acting on behalf of 41 states and the District of Columbia for the purpose of identifying deceased insureds and contract holders where benefits are payable pursuant to unclaimed property laws. The third-party auditor has provided information that we have processed and verified allowing us to more accurately estimate the ultimate liability pursuant to this agreement.

___________

(a)Given our expectation that interest rates will remain low for the long-term, we performed an actuarial unlocking exercise in the second quarter of 2020 to reflect our assumption that average new money rates will remain flat at 4 percent forever. This change and the related impacts to persistency assumptions had a $45.6 million unfavorable impact on pre-tax earnings. As part of the actuarial unlocking exercise, we also changed our assumptions related to the future option costs we incur in providing benefits on fixed index annuities which had a favorable impact on pre-tax earnings of $91.5 million. The impact of these changes in assumptions is summarized below (dollars in millions):

	Line of business
	Fixed index annuities		Fixed interest annuities		Interest- sensitive life		Total
	Favorable (unfavorable)
Impacts of an average new money rate assumption of 4 percent
Insurance policy benefits	$	(5.0)	$	—	$	(7.4)	$	(12.4)
Amortization	(25.6)		(9.4)		1.8		(33.2)
Subtotal	(30.6)		(9.4)		(5.6)		(45.6)
Impacts of changes in future option costs
Insurance policy benefits	104.8		—		—		104.8
Amortization	(13.3)		—		—		(13.3)
Subtotal	91.5		—		—		91.5
Impact on pre-tax income	$	60.9	$	(9.4)	$	(5.6)	$	45.9

This actuarial unlocking exercise does not replace our comprehensive annual review of all assumptions for our insurance products, which we plan to complete in the fourth quarter of this year. Additional adjustments may be identified based on the results of the comprehensive annual review.

(b)We increased our liability for claims and interest pursuant to the previously disclosed Global Resolution Agreement entered into in November 2018. Pursuant to this agreement, a third-party auditor is acting on behalf of 41 states and the District of Columbia for the purpose of identifying deceased insureds and contract holders where benefits are payable pursuant to unclaimed property laws. The third-party auditor has provided information that we have processed and verified allowing us to more accurately estimate the ultimate liability pursuant to this agreement.

Notes

(1)Excludes accumulated other comprehensive income. 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 premiums 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 lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, 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 index annuity products and corresponding amount credited to policyholder account liabilities. Such amounts were $37.9 million, $20.2 million, $3.0 million, $74.0 million, $(119.9) million, $44.9 million and $39.3 million in 1Q19, 2Q19, 3Q19, 4Q19, 1Q20, 2Q20 and 3Q20, respectively.

(7)Excludes the change in market values of the underlying options supporting the fixed index life products and corresponding amount credited to policyholder account liabilities. Such amounts were $5.7 million, $2.9 million, $.6 million, $9.4 million, $(16.6) million, $5.8 million and $6.7 million in 1Q19, 2Q19, 3Q19, 4Q19, 1Q20, 2Q20 and 3Q20, 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 is defined as 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 and investment borrowings; and (iv) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income. Investment income not allocated to product lines includes investment income on investments in excess of average net insurance liabilities, investments held by our holding companies, the spread we earn from the Federal Home Loan Bank investment borrowing program and variable components of investment income (including call and prepayment income, adjustments to returns on structured securities due to cash flow changes, income from company-owned life insurance ("COLI") and variations in income from alternative investments), net of interest expense.

(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 related amortization and taxes; (ii) net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, net of taxes; (iii) fair value changes due to fluctuations in the interest rates used to discount embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index annuities, net of related amortization and 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 are equal to total insurance liabilities less: (i) amounts related to reinsured business; (ii) deferred acquisition costs; (iii) present value of future profits; and (iv) 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 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 program and investments purchased by the variable interest entities.

2Q20 Significant Items (Continued from the previous page) (1) Given our expectation that interest rates will remain low for the long-term, we performed an actuarial unlocking exercise in the second quarter of 2020 to reflect our assumption that average new money rates will remain flat at 4 percent forever. This change and the related impacts to persistency assumptions had a $45.6 million unfavorable impact on pre-tax earnings. As part of the actuarial unlocking exercise, we also changed our assumptions related to the future option costs we incur in providing benefits on fixed index annuities which had a favorable impact on pre-tax earnings of $91.5 million. The impact of these changes in assumptions is summarized below (dollars in millions): Line of business Fixed index Fixed interest Interest- annuities annuities sensitive life Total Favorable (unfavorable) Impacts of an average new money rate assumption of 4 percent Insurance policy benefits $ (5.0) $ — $ (7.4) $ (12.4) Amortization (25.6) (9.4) 1.8 (33.2) Subtotal (30.6) (9.4) (5.6) (45.6) Impacts of changes in future option costs Insurance policy benefits 104.8 — — 104.8 Amortization (13.3) — — (13.3) Subtotal 91.5 — — 91.5 Impact on pre-tax income $ 60.9 $ (9.4) $ (5.6) $ 45.9 This actuarial unlocking exercise does not replace our comprehensive annual review of all assumptions for our insurance products, which we we plan to complete in the fourth quarter of this year. Additional adjustments may be identified based on the results of the comprehensive annual review. (2) We increased our liability for claims and interest pursuant to the previously disclosed Global Resolution Agreement entered into in November 2018. Pursuant to this agreement, a third-party auditor is acting on behalf of 41 states and the District of Columbia for the purpose of identifying deceased insureds and contract holders where benefits are payable pursuant to unclaimed property laws. The third-party auditor has provided information that we have processed and verified allowing us to more accurately estimate the ultimate liability pursuant to this agreement. (3) A non-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 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, 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 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.

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures A reconciliation of operating income and shares used to calculate basic and diluted operating earnings per share is as follows: (dollars in millions, except per-share amounts, and shares in thousands) 3Q19 4Q19 1Q20 (a) 2Q20 3Q20 Operating income$ 69.2 $ 78.6 $ 84.3 $ 79.4 $ 112.6 Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 154,257 150,138 145,829 143,422 140,900 Effect of dilutive securities on weighted average shares: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 1,003 1,269 - 519 830 Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share 155,260 151,407 145,829 143,941 141,730 Net operating income per diluted share$ 0.45 $ 0.52 $ 0.58 $ 0.55 $ 0.79 (a) Equivalent common shares of 768 were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to the net less recognized in 1Q20. CNO Financial Group | Third Quarter 2020 Earnings | November 2, 2020 36

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 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 per-share amounts) 3Q19 4Q19 1Q20 2Q20 3Q20 Total shareholders' equity$ 4,553.3 $ 4,677.0 $ 3,765.8 $ 4,731.2 $ 5,083.9 Shares outstanding for the period 152,183,491 148,084,178 143,610,046 141,718,570 138,931,352 Book value per share$ 29.92 $ 31.58 $ 26.22 $ 33.38 $ 36.59 Total shareholders' equity$ 4,553.3 $ 4,677.0 $ 3,765.8 $ 4,731.2 $ 5,083.9 Less accumulated other comprehensive income (1,442.9) (1,372.5) (595.2) (1,520.2) (1,801.6) Adjusted shareholders' equity excluding AOCI$ 3,110.4 $ 3,304.5 $ 3,170.6 $ 3,211.0 $ 3,282.3 Shares outstanding for the period 152,183,491 148,084,178 143,610,046 141,718,570 138,931,352 Dilutive common stock equivalents related to: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 1,059,278 1,496,546 326,110 691,574 1,040,861 Diluted shares outstanding 153,242,769 149,580,724 143,936,156 142,410,144 139,972,213 Book value per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure)$ 20.30 $ 22.09 $ 22.03 $ 22.55 $ 23.45 CNO Financial Group | Third Quarter 2020 Earnings | November 2, 2020 37

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 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, 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 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.

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures Debt to capital ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) The debt to capital ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), differs from the debt to capital ratio because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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 (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. A reconciliation of these ratios is as follows: (dollars in millions) 4Q18 4Q19 1Q20 2Q20 3Q20 Corporate notes payable$ 916.8 $ 989.1 $ 989.4 $ 989.7 $ 990.1 Total shareholders' equity 3,370.9 4,677.0 3,765.8 4,731.2 5,083.9 Total capital$ 4,287.7 $ 5,666.1 $ 4,755.2 $ 5,720.9 $ 6,074.0 Corporate debt to capital 21.4% 17.5% 20.8% 17.3% 16.3% Corporate notes payable$ 916.8 $ 989.1 $ 989.4 $ 989.7 $ 990.1 Total shareholders' equity 3,370.9 4,677.0 3,765.8 4,731.2 5,083.9 Less accumulated other comprehensive income (177.7) (1,372.5) (595.2) (1,520.2) (1,801.6) Total capital$ 4,110.0 $ 4,293.6 $ 4,160.0 $ 4,200.7 $ 4,272.4 Debt to total capital ratio, excluding AOCI (a non-GAAP financial measure) 22.3% 23.0% 23.8% 23.6% 23.2% CNO Financial Group | Third Quarter 2020 Earnings | November 2, 2020 44
