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 net realized
investment gains (losses), fair value changes in embedded derivative liabilities, fair value
changes and amendment related to the agent deferred compensation plan, 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.

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, 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 and amendment related
to the agent deferred compensation plan, 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.

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. In addition, the value of capital used to calculate this non-GAAP
measure at December 31, 2017 is reduced by the $205.4 million impact recorded in retained earnings in the fourth quarter of 2017 from the remeasurement of
deferred tax liabilities originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Management believes this adjustment to the December 31, 2017 non-
GAAP measure is useful because it removes the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of accounting rules which require
the effects of the Tax Reform Act on deferred tax balances to be recorded in earnings, even if the balance was originally recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income.

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 and other one-
time impacts eliminates the release of reserves due to the impact of policyholder actions following rate increases and other one-time
impacts.

Operating return measures
Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before net realized investment 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 and amendment related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on reinsurance
transaction, 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, the value of capital used to calculate
this non-GAAP measure at December 31, 2017 is reduced by the $205.4 million impact recorded in retained earnings in the fourth
quarter of 2017 from the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income. Management believes this adjustment to the December 31, 2017 non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the
tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of accounting rules which require the effects of the
Tax Reform Act on deferred tax balances to be recorded in earnings, even if the balance was originally recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive income.
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.

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. In addition, the value of capital used to calculate this non-GAAP measure at
December 31, 2017 is reduced by the $205.4 million impact recorded in retained earnings in the fourth quarter of 2017 from the remeasurement
of deferred tax liabilities originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Management believes this adjustment to the
December 31, 2017 non-GAAP measure is useful because it removes the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a
result of accounting rules which require the effects of the Tax Reform Act on deferred tax balances to be recorded in earnings, even if the
balance was originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. A reconciliation of these ratios is as follows (dollars in millions):
(a) Accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2017, is increased by $205.4
million to remove the stranded tax effects related to tax reform.
