Forward-Looking Statements
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Our statements, trend analyses and other information contained in these
materials relative to markets for CNO Financial’s products and trends in CNO Financial’s operations or financial results, as well as other
statements, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“project,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “contemplate,” “possible,” “attempt,” “seek,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “target,” “on track,” “comfortable
with,” “optimistic” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. You should consider statements that
contain these words carefully because they describe our expectations, plans, strategies and goals and our beliefs concerning future business
conditions, our results of operations, financial position, and our business outlook or they state other ‘‘forward-looking’’ information based on
currently available information. Assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in our forward-looking statements include, among other things: (i) changes in or sustained low interest rates causing a reduction in
investment income, the margins of our fixed annuity and life insurance businesses and demand for our products; (ii) general economic, market
and political conditions, including the performance and fluctuations of the financial markets which may affect the value of our investments as
well as our ability to raise capital or refinance existing indebtedness and the cost of doing so; (iii) the ultimate outcome of lawsuits filed against
us and other legal and regulatory proceedings to which we are subject; (iv) our ability to make changes to certain non-guaranteed elements of
our life insurance products; (v) our ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases on our health products, including our long-term care
business; (vi) the receipt of any required regulatory approvals for dividend and surplus debenture interest payments from our insurance
subsidiaries; (vii) mortality, morbidity, the increased cost and usage of health care services, persistency, the adequacy of our previous reserve
estimates and other factors which may affect the profitability of our insurance products; (viii) changes in our assumptions related to deferred
acquisition costs or the present value of future profits; (ix) the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and the effect of potential ownership
changes and tax rate changes on their value; (x) our assumption that the positions we take on our tax return filings, including our position that
our 7.0% convertible senior debentures due 2016 will not be treated as stock for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and will not trigger an ownership change, will not be successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service; (xi) changes
in accounting principles and the interpretation thereof (including changes in principles related to accounting for deferred acquisition costs); (xii)
our ability to continue to satisfy the financial ratio and balance requirements and other covenants of our debt agreements; (xiii) our ability to
achieve anticipated expense reductions and levels of operational efficiencies including improvements in claims adjudication and continued
automation and rationalization of operating systems, (xiv) performance and valuation of our investments, including the impact of realized losses
(including other-than-temporary impairment charges); (xv) our ability to identify products and markets in which we can compete effectively
against competitors with greater market share, higher ratings, greater financial resources and stronger brand recognition; (xvi) our ability to
generate sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations and other cash needs; (xvii) our ability to maintain effective controls over
financial reporting; (xviii) our ability to continue to recruit and retain productive agents and distribution partners and customer response to new
products, distribution channels and marketing initiatives; (xix) our ability to achieve eventual upgrades of the financial strength ratings of CNO
Financial and our insurance company subsidiaries as well as the impact of our ratings on our business, our ability to access capital and the cost
of capital; (xx) the risk factors or uncertainties listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (xxi)
regulatory changes or actions, including those relating to regulation of the financial affairs of our insurance companies, such as the payment of
dividends and surplus debenture interest to us, regulation of the sale, underwriting and pricing of products, and health care regulation affecting
health insurance products; and (xxii) changes in the Federal income tax laws and regulations which may affect or eliminate the relative tax
advantages of some of our products or affect the value of our deferred tax assets. Other factors and assumptions not identified above are also
relevant to the forward-looking statements, and if they prove incorrect, could also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Our forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date made. We assume no obligation to update or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-
looking statements to reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the
forward-looking statements.

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) and corporate interest and taxes; debt to capital ratios,
excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and interest-adjusted benefit
ratios. 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.

2Q11: Summary
CNO
§ Net income of $59.5 million, compared to $33.1 million
§ Net operating income* up 28% to $57.5 million, or 20 cents per diluted
 share
§ Consolidated RBC at 351%, up 10 percentage points from 3/31/11
  Statutory earnings of $78.7 million were offset by $78 million of dividend
 payments to our holding company
  Increase reflects improved asset quality
§ Holding company cash and investments at $234 million, up $65
 million from 3/31/11
  Primarily reflecting the aforementioned dividend payments
  Partially offset by $16.2 million for share repurchases and $16.2 million of
 commensurate prepayment of debt
§ Debt to total capital ratio at 18.7%, down from 20.0% at 12/31/10
§ Core sales** down 3% from prior year, up 7% from 1Q11
*Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before: (1) loss on extinguishment of debt, net of income taxes; (2) net realized investment
gains or losses, net of related amortization and income taxes; (3) increases or decreases in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets; and (4) 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 income 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 such items can be affected by events that are unrelated to the company’s underlying
fundamentals. The table on page X reconciles the non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.
**Excludes PFFS and PDP.

Quarterly Earnings

*Management believes that an analysis of earnings before net realized investment gains (losses), corporate interest, loss on extinguishment
of debt, fair value changes due to fluctuations in the interest rates used to discount embedded derivative liabilities related to our fixed index
annuities 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) corporate interest expense; (2) loss on extinguishment of debt; (3) net realized investment gains
(losses); and (4) 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. The table above provides a reconciliation of EBIT to net income.

Financial Strength
§ RBC increased to 351% in 2Q11
  Positive impact reflects increase from
 Statutory income (+20 pts) and reduction in
 NAIC 5 and 6 securities (+7 pts)
  Partially offset by dividends paid up to the
 holding company (-17 pts)
*Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements provide a tool for insurance regulators to
determine the levels of statutory capital and surplus an insurer must maintain in relation
to its insurance and investment risks. The RBC ratio is the ratio of the statutory
consolidated adjusted capital of our insurance subsidiaries to RBC.

Quarterly Earnings
Management believes that an analysis of income before: (i) net realized investment gains (losses), net of related amortization; and (ii) 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 (a non-GAAP financial measure), is important to
evaluate the financial performance of our business, and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this measure to evaluate performance
because these items can be affected by events that are unrelated to a company’s underlying fundamentals. The table on Page 7 reconciles the non-GAAP measure to the
corresponding GAAP measure. See Appendix for a reconciliation of the return on equity measure to the corresponding 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 loss on
extinguishment of debt, 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 and increases or
decreases to 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.

Book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), per share
This non-GAAP financial measure differs from book value per share because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been
excluded from the book value used to determine the 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.

Operating return measures
Management believes that an analysis of return before loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 and increases or decreases
to 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 continued operations.
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.
All references to return on allocated capital measures assume a capital allocation based on a 275% targeted risk-based capital at the segment
level. Additionally, corporate debt has been allocated to the segments.

A reconciliation of the debt to capital ratio to debt to capital, as defined in our Senior Secured Agreement is as follows (dollars in millions)
Debt to capital ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
This non-GAAP financial measure 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. In addition, debt is defined as par value plus accrued interest and certain
other items. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful as the level of such ratio impacts certain provisions in our Senior
Secured Credit Agreement.
