CNO Financial Group 2 Important Legal Information Certain statements made in this presentation should be considered forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include statements about future results of operations and capital plans. We caution investors that these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially. Investors should consider the important risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ, including those included in our press release issued on May 1, 2023, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update this presentation, which speaks as of today’s date. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains financial measures that differ from the comparable measures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). 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 the 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 – Financials – SEC Filings” section of CNO’s website, CNOinc.com. Non-GAAP Measures Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2018-12 related to targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration insurance contracts. Concurrent with the adoption of the new guidance, we updated the method of determining non- operating earnings for our fixed indexed annuities to better identify the volatile non-economic accounting impacts of that line of business. As a result of the adoption of the new guidance and methodology, certain historical amounts have changed. Our quarterly financial supplement – 4Q22 as recast to reflect the new standard is available in the “Investors – Financials – Quarterly Earnings” section of CNO’s website, CNOinc.com.

CNO Financial Group 34 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 net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and change in allowance for credit losses, net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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.

CNO Financial Group 36 A reconciliation of operating income and shares used to calculate basic and diluted operating earnings per share is as follows: (dollars in millions, except per-share amounts, and shares in thousands) Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 1Q22 2Q22 3Q22 4Q22 1Q23 Operating income 64.5$ 135.1$ 77.9$ 82.9$ 58.6$ Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 118,622 115,533 114,354 114,422 114,545 Effect of dilutive securities on weighted average shares: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 2,380 1,753 1,574 2,231 - Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share 121,002 117,286 115,928 116,653 114,545 Net operating income per diluted share 0.54$ 1.15$ 0.67$ 0.71$ 0.51$ (a) (a) Equivalent common shares of 2,182.5 were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to the net loss recognized in 1Q23.


 
CNO Financial Group 37 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. A reconciliation from book value per share to book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is as follows: (dollars in millions, except per-share amounts) Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures 1Q22 2Q22 3Q22 4Q22 1Q23 Total shareholders' equity 2,818.4$ 2,127.9$ 1,863.4$ 1,768.8$ 2,031.8$ Shares outstanding for the period 117,241,006 114,795,328 114,367,345 114,343,070 114,905,172 Book value per share 24.04$ 18.54$ 16.29$ 15.47$ 17.68$ Total shareholders' equity 2,818.4$ 2,127.9$ 1,863.4$ 1,768.8$ 2,031.8$ Accumulated other comprehensive loss (561.5) (1,415.8) (1,837.8) (1,957.3) (1,664.4) Adjusted shareholders' equity excluding AOCI 3,379.9$ 3,543.7$ 3,701.2$ 3,726.1$ 3,696.2$ Shares outstanding for the period 117,241,006 114,795,328 114,367,345 114,343,070 114,905,172 Dilutive common stock equivalents related to: Stock options, restricted stock and performance units 2,261,617 1,407,756 1,603,295 2,499,071 - Diluted shares outstanding 119,502,623 116,203,084 115,970,640 116,842,141 14,905,172 Book value per diluted share (a non-GAAP measure) 28.28$ 30.50$ 31.91$ 31.89$ 31.82$


 
CNO Financial Group 38 Operating return measures Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and change in allowance for credit losses, net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings, changes in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities and market risk benefits related to our fixed indexed annuities, fair value changes related to the agent deferred compensation plan, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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, 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.
