As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $985 million in the first quarter of 2024 for tax reporting purposes.  In May 2024, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") changed the requirements as it relates to the above tax method accounting change. Previously this tax method accounting change was automatically accepted by the IRS, now the IRS requires companies to obtain approval. The Company requested approval for this method change in June 2024.  As disclosed in our June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 10-Q filings, the recharacterization of previously capitalized costs related to self- constructed assets to net operating losses was dependent on receiving IRS approval of our method change prior to December 31, 2024. As of year-end, we have not yet received IRS approval. GAAP accounting stipulates that absent formal approval; the net operating losses must be recharacterized to indirect cost allocable to self-constructed assets at December 31. We anticipate receiving IRS approval in the first quarter of 2025, at which time we can recharacterize the capitalized costs back to net operating losses. The recharacterization at year-end has no net financial statement impact.  Remaining non-life NOLs with expiration dates ranging from 2028 through 2035 are expected to be fully utilized and can offset 100% of non-life taxable income and 35% of life taxable income.  Total estimated economic value of tax assets related to our NOLs and tax strategy of approximately $190 million @ 10% discount rate ($1.82 on a per share basis). $281 (dollars in millions) $281 million / $2.70 per diluted share value of remaining NOLs TAX ASSET SUMMARY AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 Non-Life NOLs without Expiration Dates $9 Non-Life NOLs with Expiration Dates (2027-2035), $67 2024 Non-Life Tax Loss, $205

36 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: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and 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; and (viii) other non-operating items consisting primarily of 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.

38 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 4Q23 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 Operating income 133.9$ 57.5$ 114.6$ 119.2$ 138.0$ Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share 111,590 108,964 107,731 105,102 102,778 Effect of dilutive securities on weighted average shares: Employee benefit plans 2,067 1,881 1,527 2,029 2,452 Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share 113,657 110,845 109,258 107,131 105,230 Net operating income per diluted share 1.18$ 0.52$ 1.05$ 1.11$ 1.31$


 
39 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.

40 Operating return measures Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from sales, impairments and 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; and (viii) other non- operating items consisting primarily of 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. 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.

46 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.
