CNO Financial Group | OCB Solutions | March 3, 2014 13 Appendix
CNO Financial Group | OCB Solutions | March 3, 2014 14 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. Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CNO Financial Group | OCB Solutions | March 3, 2014 15 Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 4Q13 Corporate notes payable 856.4$ Total shareholders' equity 4,955.2 Total capital 5,811.6$ orporate debt to capital 14.7% Corporate notes payable 856.4$ Total shareholders' equity 4,955.2 Less accumulated other comprehensive income (731.8) Total capital 5,079.8$ Debt to total capital ratio, excluding AOCI (a non-GAAP financial measure) 16.9% 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 ($ in millions):
CNO Financial Group | OCB Solutions | March 3, 2014 16 Pro forma net loss Loss on sale of CLIC: Cash proceeds received (a) 237$ Net assets sold (527)$ Subtotal (290)$ Reinsurance recapture: Amount paid by Bankers Life (28)$ Net assets received 29$ Subtotal 1$ Transaction expenses and other (9)$ Loss before income tax (298)$ Income tax expense (b) 5$ Pro forma loss (303)$ Pro forma reduction to shareholders' equity Pro forma net loss as summarized above (303)$ (144)$ Pro forma reduction to shareholders' equity (447)$ Decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the unrealized gains in CLIC's investment portfolio Pro forma impacts The pro forma impacts are calculated as if the sale of CLIC and the recapture of a traditional life block by Bankers Life had been completed on December 31, 2013. Actual results will vary based on the fair value of CLIC’s investment portfolio and its statutory capital and surplus on the closing date. The pro forma amounts were determined as follows (dollars in millions): Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures (a) Includes $36 million from certain intercompany transactions which will transfer accident and health business out of CLIC to Washington National Insurance Company prior to closing. (b) A tax gain will be recognized as a result of the announced transactions due to the tax basis of CLIC. The tax gain will be reduced by non-life net operating loss carryforwards which are fully offset by a valuation allowance. Accordingly the tax impacts of the announced transactions are expected to be minimal.
CNO Financial Group | OCB Solutions | March 3, 2014 17 Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures Pro forma impacts The following presents the pro forma impact on our operating earnings measures as if the sale of CLIC and the recapture of a traditional life block by Bankers Life had been completed on January 1, 2013 (dollars in millions, except per share data): Per diluted Amount share Operating earnings, as reported 270.0$ 1.17$ Adjustments (a) (8.0) (0.04) Pro forma operating earnings 262.0$ 1.13$ Year ended December 31, 2013 ___________________________ (a) Adjustments to operating earnings are comprised of the following (net of income taxes): Operating results of CLIC on a normalized basis (5.1)$ Operating results of the traditional life block to b recaptured 4.5 R sid al overh d expenses (13.0) Reduction in interest expense due to the mandatory prepayment of debt resulting from the proceeds of the sale of CLIC 2.8 I cr as i net investment income to reflect the assumed higher invested assets resulting from the proceeds of the sale of CLIC, net of the mandatory debt prepayment 2.8 Total adjustments (8.0)$
CNO Financial Group | OCB Solutions | March 3, 2014 18 Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures A reconciliation of net income applicable to common stock to net operating income (and related per share amounts) is as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts): Year ended December 31, 2013 Net income applicable to common stock 478.0$ Loss related to reinsurance transaction (net of taxes) 63.3 Net realized investment (gains) losses, net of related amortization and taxes (20.7) Fair value changes in embedded derivative liabilities, net of related amortization and taxes (23.0) 9.9 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items (301.5) Loss on extinguishment of debt (net of taxes) 64.0 Net operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure) 270.0$ Per diluted share: Net in ome 2.06$ Loss related to reinsurance transaction (net of taxes) 0.27 Net realized investment (gains) losses, net of related amortization and taxes (0.09) Fair v lu changes in embedded derivative liabilities, net of related amortization and taxes (0.10) 0.04 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other tax items 0.28 Loss on extinguishment of debt (net of taxes) (1.29) Net operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure) 1.17$ Equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to non-controlling interests Equity in earnings of certain non-strategic investments and earnings attributable to non- controlling interests Operating earnings measures Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before loss related to reinsurance transaction, 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 non-controlling interests, 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.
