  • CNO Financial Group Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

    August 1, 2023 by CNO Financial Group, Inc.

    CARMEL, Ind.July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — CNO Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CNO) today reported net income of $73.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in 2Q23 compared to $233.3 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, in 2Q22. Net operating income (1) was $62.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in 2Q23 compared to $135.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in 2Q22.

    “Production was strong in both our Consumer and Worksite Divisions, with notable sales increases in Life, Medicare Supplement and Supplemental Health, driven by continued growth in producing agent counts,” said Gary C. Bhojwani, chief executive officer.

    “Variable investment income results improved sequentially, yet reflect a tough comparable in the second quarter of 2022 when results reached a five-year high. Health claims impacted our results in the quarter. We expect this elevated claims experience to moderate in the second half of the year, based on leading indicators. Our long-term view of the Health business remains positive.”

    “New money rates were once again strong in the quarter at 6.34%, which drove continued improvement in the earned yield on investments allocated to insurance products. Our consolidated risk based capital (RBC) ratio of 386% was comfortably above our target as was our holding company liquidity of $176 million. Free cash flow generation in the quarter was robust.”

    Second Quarter 2023 Highlights (as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year where applicable)

    • Total Health insurance new annualized premiums (“NAP”) (4) up 15%; total Life insurance NAP up 8%
    • Medicare Supplement NAP up 29%; Consumer Division field agent-sold Life insurance NAP up 20%
    • Consumer Division field producing agent count up 8%; Worksite Division producing agent count up 32%
    • Returned $47.4 million to shareholders
    • Book value per share was $17.56; book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss,(2) was $32.34
    • Return on equity (“ROE”) of 14.8%; operating ROE, as adjusted,(6) of 8.0%

    Adoption of New Accounting Standard

    As previously disclosed, we adopted ASU 2018-12 related to targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration insurance contracts effective January 1, 2023. We selected the modified retrospective transition method except for market risk benefits where we were required to use the full retrospective approach. All prior periods presented herein have been recast in accordance with the new standard. As a result of the adoption of the new guidance, shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2022, increased $368.0 million and was comprised of increases to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $232.2 million and $135.8 million, respectively. Net income and operating earnings (1) for the second quarter of 2022 increased $97.2 million and $35.0 million, respectively. Concurrent with the adoption of the new guidance, we also updated the method of determining non-operating earnings for our fixed indexed annuities to better isolate the volatile non-economic accounting impacts of that line of business.

    FINANCIAL SUMMARY

    Quarter End

    (Amounts in millions, except per share data)

    (Unaudited)

    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.

    (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 margins of the annuity, health and life segments, less allocated insurance administrative expenses.  It excludes the fee income segment, investment income not allocated to product lines, expenses not allocated to product lines 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 and investment borrowings; (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.

    (d)

    Expenses not allocated to product lines in the second quarter of 2022 includes the $22.5 million favorable impact of an experience refund related to a reinsurance agreement.

    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.

    INSURANCE MARGIN

    (Amounts in millions, except per share data)

    (Unaudited)

    Insurance margin is management’s measure of 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. Income from insurance products is the sum of the insurance margins of the annuity, health and life segments, less allocated insurance administrative expenses.  It excludes the fee income segment, investment income not allocated to product lines, expenses not allocated to product lines and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of our operations. Insurance income, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income in the Financial Summary section above.

    INVESTMENTS

    INVESTMENT INCOME NOT ALLOCATED TO PRODUCT LINES

    (Dollars in millions, except per share data)

     

    Management uses investment income not allocated to product lines as the measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment.  It is defined as 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 and investment borrowings; (iv) expenses related to the 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. We also view investment income not allocated to product lines per diluted share as an important and useful measure to evaluate performance of the investment segment as it takes into consideration our share repurchase program.

    ____________________

    (a)

    Certain structured securities rated below investment grade by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations may be assigned a NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 designation based on the cost basis of the security relative to estimated recoverable amounts as determined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

    The fair value of CNO’s available for sale fixed maturity portfolio was $21.0 billion compared with an amortized cost of $23.6 billion.  Net unrealized losses were comprised of gross unrealized gains of $106.1 million and gross unrealized losses of $2,710.8 million.  The allowance for credit losses was $66.1 million at June 30, 2023.

    At both amortized cost and fair value, 94 percent of fixed maturities, available for sale, were rated “investment grade”.

    Non-Operating Items

    Net investment losses in 2Q23 were $31.3 million including the unfavorable change in the allowance for credit losses of $9.9 million which was recorded in earnings.  Net investment losses in 2Q22 were $27.1 million including the unfavorable change in the allowance for credit losses of $23.7 million which was recorded in earnings.

    During 2Q23 and 2Q22, we recognized a decrease in earnings of $4.0 million and $21.7 million, respectively, due to the net change in market value of investments recognized in earnings.

    During 2Q23 and 2Q22, we recognized an increase in earnings of $50.4 million and $160.6 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.

    In 2Q22, other non-operating items included an increase in earnings of $14.0 million for the mark-to-market change in the agent deferred compensation plan liability which was impacted by changes in the underlying actuarial assumptions used to value the liability. We recognize the mark-to-market change in the estimated value of this liability through earnings as assumptions change.

    Statutory (based on non-GAAP measures) and GAAP Capital Information

    Our consolidated statutory risk-based capital ratio was estimated at 386% at June 30, 2023, reflecting estimated 2Q23 statutory operating income of $37 million (and $76 million in the first six months of 2023) and the payment of insurance company dividends (net of capital contributions) to the holding company of $40.5 million during 2Q23 (and $74.7 million in the first six months of 2023).

    During 2Q23, we repurchased $30.0 million of common stock under our securities repurchase program (including $0.9 million of repurchases settled in 3Q23).  We repurchased 1.4 million common shares at an average cost of $22.28 per share.  As of June 30, 2023, we had 113.7 million shares outstanding and had authority to repurchase up to an additional $641.8 million of our common stock.  During 2Q23, dividends paid on common stock totaled $17.4 million.

    Unrestricted cash and investments held by our holding company were $176 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $167 million at December 31, 2022.

    Book value per common share was $17.56 at June 30, 2023 compared to $15.47 at December 31, 2022.  Book value per diluted share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (2), was $32.34 at June 30, 2023, compared to $31.89 at December 31, 2022. 

    The debt-to-capital ratio was 36.3 percent and 39.2 percent at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.  Our debt-to-total capital ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (3) was 23.4 percent at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

    Return on equity for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was 14.8% and 20.9%, respectively.  Operating return, excluding significant items, on equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and net operating loss carryforwards (6) for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was 8.0% and 12.7%, respectively.

    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.

    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)

    Net insurance liabilities for the purpose of allocating investment income to product lines are equal to: (i) policyholder account balances for annuity products; (ii) total reserves before the fair value adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), if applicable, for all other products; less (iii) amounts related to reinsurance business; (iv) deferred acquisition costs; (v) the present value of future profits; and (vi) the value of unexpired options credited to insurance liabilities.
