The company noted that market volatility had a non-economic accounting impact on net income in both periods.

CEO Gary C. Bhojwani highlighted the strong business fundamentals and consistent sales momentum, supported by growing underwriting margins and investment income. Despite elevated second-quarter earnings in 2024 affecting 2025 comparables, the company's operating earnings per share have increased by 6% year-to-date, aligning with expectations. CNO Financial continues to focus on serving the middle-income market with its diverse product offerings and distribution channels.
