FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Quarter End
(Amounts in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Net income in 2Q26 and 2Q25 was higher than operating income primarily driven by non-economic accounting impacts from market volatility, partially offset by investment losses that are treated as non-operating income.

Net operating income, a non-GAAP(a) financial measure, excludes these non-economic accounting impacts as well as other non-operating items. Net operating income is used consistently by CNO’s management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. It differs from net income primarily because it excludes the non-operating items as defined in note (1). Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company’s business. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

In 2Q26 and 2Q25, net income and net operating income(1) were unaffected by significant items. Significant items are detailed in note (6).

____________________
(a)    GAAP is defined as accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(b)    Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance product margins of the annuity, health and life product lines, less expenses allocated to the insurance product lines. It excludes the income from our fee income business, investment income not allocated to product lines, net expenses not allocated to product lines (primarily holding company expenses) and income taxes. Insurance product margin is management’s measure of the profitability of its annuity, health and life product lines’ performance and consists of insurance policy income plus allocated investment income less insurance policy benefits, interest credited, commissions, advertising expense and amortization of acquisition costs.
(c)    Investment income not allocated to product lines represents net investment income less: (i) equity returns credited to policyholder account balances; (ii) the investment income allocated to our product lines; (iii) interest expense on notes payable, investment borrowings and financing arrangements; (iv) expenses related to the funding agreement-backed notes ("FABN") program; and (v) certain expenses related to benefit plans that are offset by special-purpose investment income; plus (vi) the impact of annual option forfeitures related to fixed indexed annuity surrenders. Investment income not allocated to product lines includes investment income on investments in excess of amounts allocated to product lines, investments held by our holding companies, the spread we earn from our Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") investment borrowing and FABN programs and variable components of investment income (including call and prepayment income, adjustments to returns on structured securities due to cash flow changes, income (loss) from company-owned life insurance ("COLI") and alternative investment income not allocated to product lines), net of interest expense on corporate debt and financing arrangements. The spread earned from our FHLB investment borrowing and FABN programs includes the investment income on the matched assets less: (i) interest on investment borrowings related to the FHLB investment borrowing program; (ii) interest credited on funding agreements; and (iii) amortization of deferred acquisition costs related to the FABN program.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY (continued)
Management vs. GAAP Measures
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is primarily attributable to fluctuations in interest rates associated with fixed maturities, available for sale. Management views the business in this manner because the Company has the ability and generally, the intent, to hold investments to maturity and meaningful trends can be more easily identified without the fluctuations. In addition, shareholders' equity excludes net operating loss carryforwards in our non-GAAP return on equity measures as such 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.

Non-Operating Items
Net investment losses in 2Q26 were $13.6 million, including the unfavorable change in the allowance for credit losses of $3.4 million. Net investment losses in 2Q25 were $21.8 million, including the unfavorable change in the allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million.

During 2Q26 and 2Q25, we recognized a decrease in earnings of $1.1 million and an increase of $3.4 million, respectively, due to the net change in market value of investments.

During 2Q26 and 2Q25, we recognized an increase in earnings of $34.6 million and $25.2 million, respectively, resulting from changes in the estimated fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities. Such amounts include the impacts of changes in market interest rates and equity impacts used to determine the estimated fair values of the embedded derivatives and market risk benefits, and changes in equity volatility.

During 2Q26 and 2Q25, we incurred $9.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of expense related to TechMod, our technology modernization initiative. This three-year project began in the second quarter of 2025 to modernize certain elements of our technology.

We recognized a $1.1 million non-operating loss related to our previously announced exit from the fee services side of the Worksite business during 2Q26. Beginning in 4Q25, operating losses, including costs to exit this business, are reported in non-operating income. These operating losses were previously reported in operating income as a component of fee income.


Statutory (based on non-GAAP measures) and GAAP Capital Information
The consolidated statutory risk-based capital ratio of our U.S. based insurance subsidiaries was estimated at 377% at June 30, 2026, reflecting estimated 2Q26 statutory operating gain of $35.4 million. There were $20.0 million of company dividends paid to the holding company during 2Q26.

During 2Q26, we repurchased $60.0 million of common stock under our securities repurchase program. We repurchased 1.3 million common shares at an average cost of $46.57 per share. As of June 30, 2026, we had 92.7 million shares outstanding and had authority to repurchase up to an additional $300.4 million of our common stock. During 2Q26, dividends paid on common stock totaled $16.8 million.

Unrestricted cash and investments held by our holding company were $233.2 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $351.4 million at December 31, 2025.

Book value per common share was $27.96 at June 30, 2026 compared to $27.92 at December 31, 2025. Book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (2), was $39.92 at June 30, 2026 compared to $38.81 at December 31, 2025.

The debt-to-capital ratio was 34.0% and 33.6% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our debt-to-total capital ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)(3), was 26.1% and 26.2% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Return on equity for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 10.9% and 11.9%, respectively. Operating return on equity, excluding significant items(5), for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 13.1% and 11.2%, respectively.

NOTES
(1)Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from disposals, impairments and the 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) gains or losses related to material 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; (viii) costs related to our three-year project to modernize certain elements of our technology ("TechMod") that are incremental to normal spend and will not recur following implementation, net of taxes; (ix) goodwill and other asset impairment expenses, net of taxes; (x) gains or losses related to divested business, net of taxes; and (xi) other non-operating items including 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 believes this information provides a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of results of our insurance product lines. A reconciliation of net operating income to net income applicable to common stock is provided in the table on page 2. Additional information concerning this non-GAAP measure

is included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are available on CNO's website, CNOinc.com, in the Investors section under SEC Filings.
(2)Book value per diluted share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and restricted stock and performance units were vested. 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.
(3)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.
(4)Measured by new annualized premiums for life and health products, which includes 10% of single premium whole life deposits and 100% of all other premiums (excluding annuities). Sales of third-party products are excluded.
(5)Operating return on equity and operating return on equity, excluding significant items are calculated as follows: (i) operating return on equity is equal to the trailing four quarters of net operating income(1) divided by average shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and net operating loss carryforwards; and (ii) operating return on equity, excluding significant items is equal to the trailing four quarters of net operating income(1), excluding significant items, divided by average shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and net operating loss carryforwards, for the trailing four quarters.
