Overall, CNO's Q2 results paint a picture of a company executing well on its strategy, with strong growth, improving profitability and a solid financial foundation. The raised full-year guidance on earnings and cash flow further underscores management's confidence in the company's trajectory.
CNO Financial Group's Q2 2024 results reveal interesting trends in the middle-income insurance market. The 4% increase in total new annualized premiums suggests steady demand for insurance products among this demographic, despite economic uncertainties. Particularly noteworthy is the 18% growth in the Worksite Division, indicating a robust employment market and increased interest in employer-sponsored insurance offerings.
The significant growth in Medicare-related products - Medicare Supplement NAP up 16% and Medicare Advantage policies sold up 78% - points to an aging population becoming increasingly aware of the need for comprehensive health coverage. This trend is likely to continue as the baby boomer generation enters retirement age.
The 9% increase in annuity collected premiums suggests that middle-income consumers are increasingly focused on retirement planning, possibly driven by concerns about the long-term viability of social security and pension systems. This trend could present opportunities for insurers to develop and market innovative retirement products tailored to this demographic.
Overall, these results indicate a growing awareness of insurance and financial planning needs among middle-income consumers, presenting significant opportunities for companies like CNO that specialize in serving this market segment. The challenge will be to maintain growth and profitability in an increasingly competitive landscape while navigating potential economic headwinds.
Earnings per share up
"CNO delivered excellent earnings and operating performance across the board, led by continued sales momentum, a growing agent force, and strong underwriting margins and net investment income in the quarter," said Gary C.

"All of our Growth Scorecard performance metrics were up in the quarter. Our capital position remained strong as we increased book value per share, while returning more than
"CNO enters the second half of the year with consistent sales momentum and continuing favorable macro trends. We remain well-positioned to deliver sustainable profitable growth and long-term shareholder value."

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
| |||||||||||||
Net operating income, a non-GAAP(a) financial measure, 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 certain non-operating items such as net realized investment gains (losses) from sales and change in the allowance for credit losses, changes in fair values of embedded derivatives and market risk benefits and the liability for a deferred compensation plan, and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. 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. | |||||||||||||

(b) | Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance 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 margin is management's measure of the profitability of its annuity, health and life segments' 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. |
FINANCIAL SUMMARY (continued)
| |||||||
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. | |||||||

NOTES | |
(1) | Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before: (i) net realized investment gains or losses from sales, 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) loss related to reinsurance transaction, 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. 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 in the "Investors - SEC Filings" section of CNO's website, CNOinc.com. |
(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. |
