25 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 tax 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 $985 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. Any remaining loss after 2024 can be carried forward indefinitely but will be limited each year to 80% of non-life taxable income and 35% of life taxable income pursuant to tax regulations.  In May 2024, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") changed the requirements as it relates to the above tax method accounting change. Previously this tax method accounting change was automatically accepted by the IRS, now the IRS requires companies to obtain approval.

30 (dollars in millions) * 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 transactions, 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. 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. A reconciliation of net operating income to net income applicable to common stock is provided in the above table.

31 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.

33 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) INFORMATION RELATED TO CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES 2Q23 3Q23 4Q23 1Q24 2Q24 Operating income 62.3$ 101.3$ 133.9$ 57.5$ 114.6$ Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 114,273 112,689 111,590 108,964 107,731 Effect of dilutive securities on weighted average shares: Employee benefit plans 1,377 1,773 2,067 1,881 1,527 Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share 115,650 114,462 113,657 110,845 109,258 Net operating income per diluted share 0.54$ 0.88$ 1.18$ 0.52$ 1.05$


 
34 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) INFORMATION RELATED TO CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES 2Q23 3Q23 4Q23 1Q24 2Q24 Total shareholders' equity 1,995.8$ 1,890.1$ 2,215.6$ 2,367.7$ 2,428.9$ Shares outstanding for the period 113,673,882 112,163,169 109,357,540 108,568,594 106,513,566 Book value per share 17.56$ 16.85$ 20.26$ 21.81$ 22.80$ Total shareholders' equity 1,995.8$ 1,890.1$ 2,215.6$ 2,367.7$ 2,428.9$ Accumulated other comprehensive loss (1,733.5) (1,956.7) (1,576.8) (1,480.3) (1,464.3) Adjusted shareholders' equity excluding AOCI 3,729.3$ 3,846.8$ 3,792.4$ 3,848.0$ 3,893.2$ Shares outstanding for the period 113,673,882 112,163,169 109,357,540 108,568,594 106,513,566 Dilutive common stock equivalents related to: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 1,629,412 1,811,501 2,392,716 1,467,901 1,626,443 Diluted shares outstanding 115,303,294 113,974,670 111,750,256 110,036,495 108,140,009 Book value per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) 32.34$ 33.75$ 33.94$ 34.97$ 36.00$


 
35 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.
