CNO Financial Group, Inc. reported strong growth in sales and distribution force, with total new annualized premiums up 8% in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023. The company achieved solid earnings with net income of $112.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, showing a significant improvement from a net loss in the previous year. Despite some unfavorable impacts on real estate investments, CNO's financial health remains robust, exemplified by its excellent capital position and growth in book value per diluted share. The company reiterated its full-year guidance and returned $57.3 million to shareholders. Key highlights include growth in Consumer Division new annualized premiums, Worksite Division NAP, and Medicare Supplement NAP, showcasing CNO's focus on sustainable profitable growth.

Further analysis of the operating earnings reveals a disciplined focus on insurance product margins and an impressive portfolio yield, which have bolstered the company's performance despite the unfavorable mark-to-market impacts on their alternative investment portfolio. This resilience in earnings, despite external market pressures, speaks to a solid operational framework and controlled risk exposure.
Their reported return on equity (ROE) of 18.8% and operating ROE, as adjusted, of 9.7% can be quite attractive to investors, though it represents a slight decrease from the previous year. Still, maintaining such levels in a challenging economic environment might be considered a strength. Investors might also take note of the company's capital return strategies, including significant share repurchases and consistent dividend payments, reflecting confidence in ongoing financial stability and shareholder value proposition.
Looking beyond the raw financials, it's important to highlight the company's growth in its Consumer and Worksite Divisions, which experienced increases in new annualized premiums by 7% and 19% respectively. The significant uptick in the Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage policies sales by 24% and 38% highlights a important competitive edge in a growing market segment. As the population ages, these areas could be key drivers for sustainable long-term growth.
The company's agent count also increased, which could suggest a greater market penetration and sales capacity moving forward. These operational metrics are robust indicators for future performance and could provide confidence to investors about the company's trajectory.
From an investment perspective, it's noteworthy that CNO Financial has managed to keep its investment income stable despite less favorable market valuations of certain assets. This suggests a well-diversified and managed investment portfolio. However, investors should be aware of the potential volatility in alternative investments and the impact of market conditions on their valuation.
The company's debt-to-capital ratio saw a slight improvement, indicative of a conservative financial structure and a potential reduction in financial risk. The increase in book value per share is another positive signal, enhancing the equity value for shareholders. For investors with a focus on asset quality, the detailed composition of the fixed maturity investments demonstrates a strong preference for investment-grade securities, which can be a sign of prudent investment management practices.
Strong sales and distribution force growth; Total new annualized premiums up
Solid first quarter earnings
"First quarter results were among the best operating metrics we've delivered in the past several years with respect to Consumer and Worksite sales, our distribution force and new products," said Gary C. Bhojwani, chief executive officer.
"Operating earnings benefited from growth in insurance product margins, reflecting recent sales momentum and expansion of the portfolio yield on five quarters of new money rates exceeding
"Our financial health remains strong, as shown by our excellent capital position and growth in book value per diluted share. We remain focused on serving the needs of middle-income consumers and delivering sustainable profitable growth for our shareholders."

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 |
(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) 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. | |||

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. |
