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; earnings before net realized investment gains (losses) and
corporate interest 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.
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.

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
“Investor - SEC Filings” section of our website, www.CNOinc.com.
Operating earnings measures
Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before discontinued
operations, loss on extinguishment or modification of debt, net realized gains or losses and increases
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
discontinued operations, loss on extinguishment or modification of debt, realized investment gains or
losses and increases to our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are unrelated to the Company’s
continuing operations.

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
