(headquartered in Carmel, IN) [NYSE: CNO]. These subsidiaries are referred to collectively as CNO Financial Group (CNO). Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of \u201cbbb\u201d (Good) and the Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR) of CNO Financial Group, Inc. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (See below for a detailed listing of the companies and Long-Term IRs.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe ratings reflect CNO\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe affirmation of the ratings is based on the strong assessment of CNO\u2019s favorable and consistent operating gains, which draw upon the diversification of its product line offerings across its insurance brands of Washington National, Bankers Life and Colonial Penn. Additionally, the returns from investment income are a strong contributor to the stability of earnings since 2018. These gains have supported a strong assessment of the group\u2019s risk-adjusted capital as measured by AM Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) and its regulatory capital. AM Best has observed strong liquidity measures in the group and holding company, where the latest reported cash and cash equivalents at third-quarter 2022 was $498 million. The financial flexibility, also viewed positively by AM Best, is nimble with access to the capital markets through CNO Financial Group, Inc. and the member companies of the group having membership in the Federal Home Loan Banks, which has lent itself to spread lending opportunities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCNO\u2019s business profile is diversified across retirement, life and accident and health insurance offerings. Product sales and distribution are well positioned through CNO\u2019s diversified distribution channels including direct-to-consumer, exclusive agents and worksite opportunities. All of this has been accomplished despite CNO operating in a landscape of formidable competition and external pressures that include the strains of selling products during the COVID-19 pandemic. CNO has managed its risks well and has operated and maintained its position within its target markets over the past few years.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICRs of \u201ca\u201d (Excellent) have been affirmed with stable outlooks for the following key life\/health subsidiaries of CNO Financial Group, Inc.:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nBankers Life and Casualty Company\n<\/li>\n<li>\nColonial Penn Life Insurance Company\n<\/li>\n<li>\nBankers Conseco Life Insurance Company\n<\/li>\n<li>\nWashington National Insurance Company\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe following Long-Term IRs have been affirmed with stable outlooks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCNO Financial Group, Inc.\u2014<br \/>\n<br \/>&#8211;\u201cbbb\u201d (Good) on $500 million 5.25% senior unsecured notes, due 2025<br \/>\n<br \/>&#8211;\u201cbbb\u201d (Good) on $500 million 5.25% senior unsecured notes, due 2029<br \/>\n<br \/>&#8211;\u201cbbb-\u201d (Good) on $150 million 5.125% subordinated debentures, due 2060\n<\/p>\n<p><b>This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best\u2019s website.
