Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Business
:
(Globe Life), (the Company), refers to Globe Life Inc., an insurance holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1979, and Globe Life Inc. subsidiaries and affiliates. Globe Life Inc.'s direct or indirect primary subsidiaries are Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company, American Income Life Insurance Company, Liberty National Life Insurance Company, Family Heritage Life Insurance Company of America, and United American Insurance Company. The underwriting companies are owned by their ultimate corporate parent, Globe Life Inc. (Parent Company).
Globe Life provides a variety of life and supplemental health insurance products to a broad base of customers. The Company is organized into
three
reportable segments: life insurance, health insurance, and investments.
Globe Life markets its insurance products through a number of distribution channels, each of which sells the products of one or more of Globe Life's insurance segments. The Company's distribution channels consist of the following exclusive agencies: American Income Division (American Income), Liberty National Division (Liberty National) and Family Heritage Division (Family Heritage); an independent agency, United American Division (United American); and the Direct to Consumer Division (DTC).
Basis of Presentation
:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Globe Life have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position at September 30, 2026, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements
that were included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 25, 2026.
Use of Estimates
: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See further documentation in the significant accounting policies or the accompanying notes.
Held for Sale:
In connection with the Company's relocation of its home office operations, management committed to a plan to sell its building located at 3700 Stonebridge Drive, McKinney, Texas (the "Stonebridge Building").
During the second quarter of 2026, management assessed all held-for-sale criteria and concluded that all criteria were satisfied. Accordingly, the Stonebridge Building is classified as an asset held for sale in "Other assets" on the Company's
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
and
depreciation of the asset ceased. Book value of the building, land and improvements was approximately $
27.9
million as of September 30, 2026. The asset is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company has executed a purchase agreement related to the Stonebridge Building for a purchase price of $
34.0
million, with the sale expected to occur in early 2027. Based on management's review of the purchase price and estimated selling costs, no impairment loss was recognized upon classification. Operating expenses associated with the Stonebridge Building are expected to continue with the planned wind-down of operations and maintenance activities at the property.

Note 2—New Accounting Standards
Accounting Pronouncements Yet to be Adopted
:
ASU No. 2024-03
,
Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
, adds disclosure requirements to disaggregate information related to an entity's income statement. The disclosures will allow for enhanced transparency of an entity's expenses.
This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and Interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the standard.
ASU No. 2025-06
,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
, provides guidance for the evaluation of determining whether criteria is met to begin the capitalization of internal-use software costs. ASC 350 (
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other)
requires the capitalization of internal-use software costs begin when both of the following criteria are met: (1) when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) the probability that the project will be completed and will be used to perform the function intended. If uncertainty exists under the guidance issued in Subtopic 350-40 then a probable to complete threshold will not exist and any costs would be expensed until uncertainties are resolved.
The updated guidance also requires the application of disclosure requirements in ASC 360 (
Property, Plant and Equipment
) for all capitalized costs regardless of presentation in the financial statements. This standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2028 and interim periods within the annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the standard.

Transfers between levels within the hierarchy occur when there are changes in the observability of the inputs and market data. Transfers into Level 3 occur when there is little unobservable market activity for the asset/liability as of the measurement date and the Company is required to rely upon internally-developed assumptions or third parties. Transfers out of Level 3 occur when quoted prices in active markets become available for identical assets/liabilities or the ability to corroborate by observable market data.

Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.
Level 3 securities are valued based on the contractual cash flows discounted by a rate determined as a treasury benchmark rate adjusted for a credit spread. The credit spread is developed from observable indices for similar securities and unobservable indices for private securities or private comparable securities for corresponding credit ratings. The credit ratings for the securities may be considered unobservable inputs, as they are private letter ratings issued by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or are assigned by the third-party investment manager based on a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the credit underwritten. A higher (lower) credit rating would result in a higher (lower) valuation. For more information regarding valuation procedures, please refer to

Gross unrealized losses may fluctuate quarter over quarter due to factors in the market that affect the holdings, such as changes in interest rates or credit spreads. The Company considers many factors when determining whether an allowance for a credit loss should be recorded. While the Company holds securities that may be in an unrealized loss position, Globe Life does not generally intend to sell and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturities prior to their anticipated recovery or maturity due to the strong cash flows generated by its insurance operations.

The following tables are reflective of the key factors, debt service coverage ratios, and loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios that are utilized by management to monitor the performance of the portfolios. The Company only makes new investments in commercial mortgage loans that have a LTV ratio less than or equal to 80%. LTV ratios that exceed 80% are generally a result of decreases in the valuation of the underlying property. Generally, a higher LTV ratio and a lower debt service coverage ratio equate to higher risk of loss.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees
:
In connection with the Pre-capitalized Trust Securities agreement signed on July 1, 2025, Globe Life Inc. is required to purchase any treasury securities in default. Management believes it is unlikely the Company will have to make any material payments under this agreement due to default. In addition,
Globe Life Inc. has guaranteed letters of credit in connection with its credit facility
with a group of banks as disclosed in
Note 11—Debt
.
The letters of credit were issued by TMK Re, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary ("TMK Re"), to secure TMK Re's obligation for claims on certain policies reinsured by TMK Re that were sold by other Globe Life Inc. insurance subsidiaries. These letters of credit facilitate TMK Re's ability to reinsure the business of Globe Life Inc.'s insurance subsidiaries
. The credit facility was amended and restated on June 26, 2026 and now expires in 2031. The maximum amount of letters of credit available is $
250
million. Globe Life Inc.
would be liable to the extent that TMK Re does not pay the reinsured party.
The amount of letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2026 was $
115
million.
Litigation
: The Company, as is common with the insurance industry in general, is subject to litigation, including: putative class action litigation; alleged breaches of contract; torts, including bad faith and fraud claims based on alleged wrongful or fraudulent acts of agents of Globe Life Inc.'s insurance subsidiaries; alleged employment discrimination; alleged worker misclassification; and miscellaneous other causes of action. Based upon information presently available, and in light of legal and other factual defenses available to the Company, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that such litigation will have a material adverse effect on Globe Life Inc.'s financial condition, future operating results or liquidity; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future. This bespeaks caution, particularly in states with reputations for high punitive damage verdicts.
On April 30, 2024, a putative securities class action was filed against Globe Life Inc. and
six
of its current/former executives and directors in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (
City of Miami Gen. Emp. & Sanitation Emp. Ret. Trust, et al. v. Globe Life Inc., et al.
, Case No. 4:24-cv-00376). On July 24, 2024, the Court appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel for the putative class of shareholders. The Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Complaint on October 4, 2024 that asserts claims under §§ 10(b), 20(a), and 20(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(b), and 10b-5(c) promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Globe Life Inc.'s securities from May 8, 2019 through April 10, 2024. The Consolidated Complaint added
four
additional executives as defendants and alleges that certain of Globe Life Inc.'s disclosures about financial performance and certain other public statements during the putative class period were materially false or misleading. Pursuant to Globe Life Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with the individual defendants, Globe Life Inc. has agreed to indemnify the individual director and executive officer defendants for all expenses and losses related to the litigation, subject to the terms of those indemnification agreements. On May 15, 2026, the Lead Plaintiffs moved for class certification. Globe Life Inc. plans to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. The outcome of litigation of this type is inherently uncertain, and there is always the possibility that a court rules in a manner that is adverse to the interests of Globe Life Inc. and the individual defendants. However, the amount of any such loss in that outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Also pending in the Eastern District of Texas is a consolidated shareholder derivative suit that is closely related to the putative securities class action disclosed above (the “

Matter”). On November 7, 2024, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Jui Cheng Hsiao (“Hsiao”) filed a shareholder derivative complaint against Globe Life Inc. as a nominal defendant, as well as certain current and former Globe Life Inc. executives and members of its Board of Directors. On November 14, 2024, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Gautam Jadhav (“Jadhav”) filed a shareholder derivative complaint against the same set of defendants. Each shareholder derivative complaint asserts
one
claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the individual defendants and alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Globe Life Inc. by causing or permitting Globe Life Inc. to make misleading statements about its performance and financial results. The allegations are substantially similar to those made in the
City of Miami
Matter and derive from certain short seller reports. Pursuant to Globe Life Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with the individual defendants, Globe Life Inc. has agreed to indemnify the individual director and executive officer defendants for all expenses and losses related to the litigation, subject to

the terms of those indemnification agreements. On January 3, 2025, the Court consolidated the
two
actions and appointed Hsiao and Jadhav as Lead Plaintiffs and their counsel as Lead Counsel for the consolidated derivative action (
In re Globe Life Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation
, Lead Case No. 4:24-cv-00993-ALM (E.D. Tex.)).
On November 19, 2025, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Plymouth County Retirement Association (“Plymouth”) filed a Verified Shareholder Derivative Action Complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Globe Life Inc. as a nominal defendant, as well as certain current and former Globe Life Inc. executives and members of its Board of Directors (
Plymouth County Retirement Association v. Darden, et al
., No. 4:25-cv-01246-ALM (E.D. Tex.)). On November 21, 2025, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Catherine M. Sugarbaker Family Trust (“Sugarbaker”) filed a Verified Shareholder Derivative Action Complaint against Globe Life Inc. as a nominal defendant, as well as certain current and former Globe Life Inc. executives and members of its Board of Directors (
Catherine M. Sugarbaker Family Trust v. Gary L. Coleman, et al
., No. 4:25-cv-01274-ALM (E.D. Tex.)). The allegations in both complaints are substantially similar to those made in the
City of Miami
Matter and the consolidated federal derivative action and derive from certain short seller reports. Pursuant to Globe Life Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with the individual defendants, Globe Life Inc. has agreed to indemnify the individual director and executive officer defendants for all expenses and losses related to the
Plymouth
and
Sugarbaker
litigation, subject to the terms of those indemnification agreements. On April 17, 2026, following briefing on Plymouth's and Sugarbaker's competing leadership motions, the Court appointed Plymouth as Lead Plaintiff and Plymouth's counsel as Lead Counsel. On May 8, 2026, Plymouth filed a consolidated complaint. On June 23, 2026, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint.
On September 19, 2025, a shareholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the Business Court for Dallas County, Texas, against Globe Life Inc. as a nominal defendant, as well as certain current and former Globe Life Inc. executives and members of its Board of Directors (
James E. Walker v. Gary L. Coleman, et al.
, Case No. 25-BC01B-0041). Like the consolidated shareholder derivative lawsuit disclosed above, this litigation is largely similar to the
City of Miami
Matter and derives in part from certain short seller reports. The petition asserts three causes of action relating to the 2019 through 2024 time period, including: (i) a breach of fiduciary duty claim for failing to provide adequate oversight to prevent purportedly widespread corporate misconduct including fraud, discrimination and harassment; (ii) a breach of fiduciary duty claim against certain individual defendants who allegedly engaged in insider trading; and (iii) a claim for wasting corporate assets by paying excessive compensation and/or bonuses to certain of its executive officers. The petition alleges that Globe Life Inc. was thus exposed to potential legal liability and costs, and that Globe Life Inc. repurchased shares at an artificially inflated price. The petition seeks monetary damages as well as restitution, governance reforms, and accountability for executives and board members. Pursuant to Globe Life Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with the individual defendants, Globe Life Inc. has agreed to indemnify the individual director and executive officer defendants for all expenses and losses related to the litigation, subject to the terms of those indemnification agreements. Globe Life Inc. intends to mount a robust defense against the litigation. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the petition on November 20, 2025 for failure to plead demand futility, and a motion to stay the proceedings in the Texas Business Court pending final resolution of the related
City of Miami
Matter if the Court determines that demand futility is satisfied. On February 5, 2026, the Court cancelled the hearing it had scheduled for February 6, 2026 to hear all of the above motions and stayed the case pending further order of the Court.

Note 6—Policy Liabilities
The liability for future policy benefits is determined based on the net level premium method, which requires the liability be calculated as the present value of estimated future policyholder benefits and the related termination expenses, less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from policyholders.
The following tables summarize balances and changes in the net liability for future policy benefits, before reinsurance, for traditional life long-duration contracts for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Remeasurement Gain or Loss
—In accordance with the accounting guidance, the Company reviews, and updates as necessary, its assumptions utilized in the calculation of the liability for future benefits annually in the third quarter and recalculates the net premium ratio. The revised net premium ratio is used to update the liability for future policy benefits as of the beginning of the current reporting period, and is compared to the liability using prior cash flow assumptions. The difference is recorded as a component of the remeasurement gain or loss for the current period, along with the effect of the difference between actual and expected experience for the period. The total remeasurement gain or loss is within life and health policyholder benefits included on the

The Company performed its annual review of assumptions during the third quarter which resulted in favorable changes to its mortality and lapse assumptions on life and health. The assumption review process of the life and health segments resulted in a $
120.5
million net remeasurement gain ($
96.4
million and $
24.1
million gains related to life and health, respectively) before tax as compared to a $
134.3
million net remeasurement gain ($
130.9
million and $
3.4
million gains related to life and health, respectively) before tax in the year-ago quarter.

Life assumption changes reflect continued favorable mortality experience along with slightly higher lapse rates while health assumption changes reflect favorable claim experience, both resulting in lower policy obligations compared to our previously anticipated assumptions.
Excluding the impact of annual assumption changes, the Company's results for actual variances from expected experience for both life and health produced a $
25.3
million net remeasurement gain ($
20.3
million and $
5.0
million gains related to life and health, respectively) before tax and a $

million net remeasurement gain ($

75.1
million net remeasurement gain ($
62.8
million and $
12.3
million gains related to life and health, respectively) compared to a $

Credit Facility
:
Globe Life has in place a credit facility which provides for a $
1
billion revolving credit facility that may be increased to $
1.25
billion. The credit facility was amended on June 26, 2026 and now matures on June 26, 2031, and may be extended up to a
one-year
period upon the Company's request. Pursuant to this agreement, the participating lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to Globe Life and to issue secured or unsecured letters of credit. The Company has not drawn on any of the credit to date.
The facility is further designated as a back-up credit line for a commercial paper program under which the Company may either borrow from the credit line or issue commercial paper at any time, with total commercial paper outstanding not to exceed the facility maximum of $
1
billion, less any letters of credit issued. Interest is charged at
51

variable rates. In accordance with the agreement, Globe Life is subject to certain covenants regarding capitalization. As of September 30, 2026, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants.
Pre-capitalized Trust Securities
: On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a
30-year
Facility Agreement with a Delaware trust (the "Trust") following the completion of a private placement of Trust securities for $
500
million par of Pre-Capitalized Trust Securities ("P-CAPS"), conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Trust invested the proceeds from this offering in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury principal and interest strips ("Treasury securities"). P-CAPS provide the Company with a source of liquidity, the proceeds of which, if drawn, would be used for general corporate purposes.
Under the Facility Agreement, the Company has the right, on one or more occasions, to issue and sell up to $
500
million of its
6.580
% Senior Notes to the Trust in exchange for a corresponding amount of Treasury securities held by the Trust. In consideration for this right, the Company pays the Trust a semi-annual facility fee at a rate of
1.789
% per annum on the unexercised portion of the facility. These fees are recorded in "Interest expense" on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
. The Company also reimburses the Trust for its administrative expenses. The Issuance Right will be exercised automatically in full upon (i) our failure to pay the facility fee or to purchase any Strips required to be purchased under the Facility, if the failure to pay is not cured within 30 days, or (ii) certain bankruptcy events involving the Company. We are also required to exercise the Issuance Right in full if our consolidated stockholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") falls below $
1.85
billion, subject to certain adjustments. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no senior note issuances under the Facility Agreement.

Note 12—Business Segments
Globe Life is organized into
three
operating segments: life, health, and investments.
Globe Life's reportable insurance segments are based on the insurance product lines it markets and administers: life insurance and supplemental health insurance. There is also an investment segment that manages the investment portfolio and cash flow for the insurance segments. The Company's chief operating decision makers (the "CODM"), our Co-CEOs, evaluate the overall performance of the operations of the Company in accordance with these segments.
Life insurance products marketed by Globe Life include traditional whole life and term life insurance. Health insurance products are generally guaranteed renewable and include Medicare Supplement, cancer, critical illness, accident, and other limited-benefit supplemental hospital and surgical products.

Due to the nature of the life insurance industry, Globe Life has no individual or group that would be considered a major customer. Substantially all of Globe Life's business is conducted in the United States.
The measure of profitability established by the CODMs for the insurance segments is underwriting margin before other income and administrative expenses, in accordance with the manner in which the segments are managed. It essentially represents gross profit margin on insurance products before insurance administrative expenses and consists primarily of premium less net policy benefits, acquisition expenses, and commissions. Required interest on policy liabilities is reflected as a component of the Investment segment (rather than as a component of underwriting margin in the insurance segment) in order to match this cost with the investment income earned on the assets supporting the policy liabilities.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
The measure of profitability for the Investment segment is excess investment income, representing the net income earned on the investment portfolio in excess of policy requirements. Other than the required interest on the insurance segments, no other intersegment revenues or expenses are recognized. Expenses directly attributable to corporate operations are included in the “Corporate & Other” category. Stock-based compensation expense is considered a corporate expense by Globe Life management and is included in this category. All other unallocated revenues and expenses on a pretax basis, including insurance administrative expense and interest on debt, are also included in the “Corporate & Other” segment category.
Globe Life holds a sizable investment portfolio to support its insurance liabilities, the yield from which is used to offset policy benefit, acquisition, administrative, and tax expenses. This yield or investment income is taken into account when establishing premium rates and profitability expectations for its insurance products. From time to time, investments are sold or called, or experience a credit loss event, each of which are reflected by the Company as realized gain (loss)—investments.
These gains or losses generally occur as a result of disposition due to issuer calls, compliance with Company investment policies, or other reasons often beyond management’s control. Unlike investment income, realized gains and losses are incidental to insurance operations, and only overall yields are considered when setting premium rates or insurance product profitability expectations. While these gains and losses are not relevant to segment profitability or core operating results, they can have a material positive or negative result on net income. For these reasons, management removes realized investment gains and losses when it views its segment operations.
Management also removes non-operating items unrelated to the Company's core insurance activities when evaluating those results. Therefore, these items are excluded in its presentation of segment results because accounting guidance requires that operating segment results be presented as management views its business. All of these items are included in “Other operating expense” in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the appropriate year. See additional detail below in the tables.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements contained in the foregoing discussion and elsewhere in this document, and in any other statements made by, or on behalf of Globe Life whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statement that is not a historical fact, or that might otherwise be considered an opinion or projection concerning the Company or its business, whether express or implied, is meant as and should be considered a forward-looking statement. Such statements represent management's opinions concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future developments, or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be incorrect, the actual results of Globe Life may differ materially from the forward-looking statements made on the basis of such estimates or assumptions. Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable events or developments, which may be national in scope, related to the insurance industry generally, or applicable to the Company specifically. Such events or developments could include, but are not necessarily limited to:
1.
Economic and other conditions, including the impact of inflation, immigration, geopolitical events, escalating tariff and non-tariff trade measures imposed by the U.S. and other countries, a prolonged government shutdown, and other governmental actions which affect the U.S. economy and/or U.S. consumer confidence, leading to unexpected changes in lapse rates and/or sales of our policies, as well as levels of mortality, morbidity, and/or utilization of health care services that differ from Globe Life's assumptions;
2.
Regulatory developments, including changes in accounting standards or governmental regulations (particularly those impacting taxes and changes to the Federal Medicare program that affect Medicare Supplement insurance sales, claims utilization or use);
3.
Market trends in the senior-aged health care industry that provide alternatives to traditional Medicare (such as Health Maintenance Organizations and other managed care or private plans) and that affect the sales of traditional Medicare Supplement insurance;
4.
Ratings changes with respect to our financial performance and condition;
5.
Interest rate changes that affect product sales, financing costs, and/or investment yields;
6.
General economic, industry sector or individual debt issuers’ financial conditions (including developments and volatility arising from geopolitical events, particularly in certain industries that may comprise part of our investment portfolio) that affect the current market value of securities we own, or that may impair an issuer’s ability to make principal and/or interest payments due on those securities;
7.
Changes in the competitiveness of the Company's products and pricing;
8.
Litigation results and regulatory actions;
9.
Levels of administrative and operational efficiencies that differ from our assumptions (including any reduction in efficiencies resulting from increased costs arising from the impact of higher than anticipated inflation);
10.
The ability to obtain timely and appropriate premium rate increases for health insurance policies from our regulators;
11.
The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Parent Company and to receive required regulatory approvals on such amounts;
12.
The customer response to new products and marketing initiatives;
13.
Reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which are based on management estimates and judgments which may differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized;
14.
Compromise by a malicious actor or other event that causes a loss of secure data from, or inaccessibility to, our computer and other information technology systems;
15.
The Company's ability to attract and retain agents;
16.
The severity, magnitude, and impact of natural or man-made catastrophic events, including but not limited to pandemics, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, war and terrorism, on our operations and personnel, commercial activity, level of
claims,
and demand for our products; and
17.
Globe Life's ability to access the commercial paper and debt markets, particularly if such markets become unpredictable or unstable for a certain period.
Readers are also directed to consider other risks and uncertainties described in other documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described under

Results of Operations
How Globe Life Views Its Operations.
Globe Life Inc. is the holding company for a group of insurance companies that market through exclusive, direct-to-consumer and independent distribution channels primarily individual life and supplemental health insurance to lower middle to middle-income households throughout the United States. We view our operations by segments, which are the insurance product lines of life and supplemental health, and the investment segment that supports the product lines.
Insurance Product Line Segments.
The insurance product line segments involve the marketing, underwriting, and administration of policies. Each product line is further subdivided by the various distribution channels that market the insurance policies. Each distribution channel operates in a niche market offering insurance products designed for that particular market. Whether analyzing profitability of a segment as a whole, or the individual distribution channels within the segment, the measure of profitability used by management is the underwriting margin, as seen below:
Premium revenue
(Policy obligations)
(Policy acquisition costs and commissions)
Underwriting margin
Investment Segment.
The investment segment involves the management of our capital resources, including investments and the management of liquidity. Our measure of profitability for the investment segment is excess investment income, as seen below:

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Globe Life serves the lower-middle to middle-income market. We believe this market is underserved, has significant growth potential, and provides us with a distinct competitive advantage. This advantage is protected due not only to our ability to efficiently reach this market through both exclusive and direct to consumer distribution channels, but also due to the amount of data and experience we possess, as we have been in this same market for over 60 years with essentially the same products. The basic protection life and health insurance products we offer are specifically designed to help provide financial security to consumers in this market.

As shown in the charts above, net operating income is primarily comprised of insurance underwriting margin plus excess investment income and annuity and other income, offset by operating expenses after tax and, as such, is considered a non-GAAP measure. It has been used consistently by Globe Life's management for many years to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Net operating income differs from net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized gains and losses and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Net operating income as an ROE, excluding AOCI, is considered a non-GAAP measure. Management utilizes this measure to view the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. The impact of the adjustment to exclude AOCI is $(1.4) billion and $(2.0) billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Book value per share, excluding AOCI, is also considered a non-GAAP measure. Management utilizes this measure to view the book value of the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. The impact of the adjustment to exclude AOCI is $(18.27) and $(24.11) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Summary of Operations.
•
Net income totaled $919 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $895 million, in the same period in 2025, an increase of 3%.
•
On a diluted basis, net income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 8% from $10.77 to $11.64.
•
Net operating income was $937 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $925 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of 1%.
•
On a diluted basis, net operating income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased from $11.13 to $11.86, a 7% increase.
Net operating income is primarily comprised of insurance underwriting margin plus excess investment income and annuity and other income, offset by operating expenses, after tax and, as such, is considered a non-GAAP measure. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We do not consider realized gains and losses to be a component of our core insurance operations or operating segments. Additionally, net income is affected by certain non-operating items. We do not view these items as components of core operating results because they are not indicative of past performance or future prospects of the insurance operations. We remove items such as these which relate to prior periods or are non-operating items when evaluating the results of current operations, and therefore exclude such items from our segment analysis for current periods.
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company performed its annual assumptions review and updated both its life and health assumptions of lapses, mortality, and morbidity resulting in a $120.5 million net remeasurement gain as compared to a $134.3 million net remeasurement gain in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact of assumption changes, the Company's results for actual variances from expected experience for both life and health produced a $75.1 million net remeasurement gain and a $53.6 million net remeasurement gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As previously noted, a component of insurance underwriting margin is policy obligations, which includes for each reporting period the change in the liability for future policy benefits (the "LFPB"). The LFPB is determined each reporting period based on the net level premium method. Net level premiums reflect a recomputed net premium ratio using actual experience since the issue date, and expected future experience based on future cash-flow assumptions See
Note 6—Policy Liabilities
for additional information.
Overall, the Company's core operations remain strong, including sales and premium growth, and we continue to achieve an operating ROE (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income) generally in the mid-teens.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Globe Life's operations on a segment-by-segment basis are discussed in depth below. Net operating income has been used consistently by management for many years to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. It differs from GAAP net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized gains and losses and other 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.

The life insurance segment is our primary segment and is the largest contributor to earnings in each period presented. The life insurance segment underwriting margin increased $8 million compared with the prior period, driven by premium growth and improved underlying mortality offsetting a smaller gain from third quarter assumption updates. The life underwriting margin increase was lower than the prior year period due to remeasurement gains from assumption changes of 96 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 131 million for the same period in 2025. The health segment experienced favorable underwriting margin as a result of gains related to the third quarter assumption update, margin growth in limited benefit supplemental product lines and growth in Medicare Supplement earned premium driven by rate increases and strong sales. Excess investment income increased $5 million compared with the prior period, primarily due to higher yields on fixed maturities, commercial mortgage loans and other long-term investments.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
In 2026, the largest contributor of total underwriting margin was the life insurance segment and the primary distribution channel was American Income. The following charts represent the breakdown of total underwriting margin by operating segment and distribution channel for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Total premium income rose 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $3.9 billion. Total net sales increased 10% to $727 million when compared with 2025. Total first-year collected premium (defined in the following section) increased 15% to $595 million for 2026, compared to $520 million in 2025.
Life insurance premium income increased 3% to $2.58 billion compared to $2.51 billion in the prior-year period. Life net sales increased 1% to $456 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the year-ago period. First-year collected life premium increased 1% to $351 million. Life underwriting margin, as a percent of premium, declined by 1% for 2026 given the lower remeasurement gains from life assumption updates in 2026 compared to 2025. Underwriting margin increased slightly to $1.17 billion in 2026, compared to $1.16 billion in 2025.
Health insurance premium income increased 15% to $1.30 billion compared to $1.13 billion in the prior-year period. Health net sales rose 31% to $271 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. First-year collected health premium rose 41% to $244 million. Health underwriting margin, as a percent of premium, was 24% for 2026, a 2% decrease from 2025 as a result of increased group claims experience and faster growth in lower margin products. Health underwriting margin increased to $309 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $291 million in 2025.
Excess investment income, the measure of profitability of our investment segment, increased 5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to $113 million from $108 million in 2025. Excess investment income per common share, reflecting the impact of our share repurchase program, increased 11% to $1.43 from $1.29 when compared with the same period in 2025.
Insurance administrative expenses increased 7% primarily due to higher employee costs, which include salaries and other costs in addition to higher information technology expenses in 2026 when compared with the prior-year period. These expenses were 7.2% as a percent of premium for 2026, unchanged from 2025.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 3.6 million shares of Globe Life Inc. common stock at a total cost of $564 million for an average share price of $155.30.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
The discussions of our segments are presented in the manner we view our operations, as described in
Note 12—Business Segments
.
We use three measures as indicators of premium growth and sales over the near term: “annualized premium in force,” "net sales,” and “first-year collected premium.”
•
Annualized premium in force is defined as the premium income that would be received over the following twelve months at any given date on all active policies if those policies remain in force throughout the 12-month period.
•
Net sales is calculated as annualized premium issued, net of cancellations in the first 30 days after issue, except in the case of Direct to Consumer, where net sales is annualized premium issued at the time the first full premium is paid after any introductory offer period (typically one month) has expired. Management considers net sales to be a better indicator of incremental premium growth than annualized premium issued since net sales are after cancellations, as cancellations do not contribute to premium income.
•
First-year collected premium is defined as the premium collected during the reporting period for all policies in their first policy year. First-year collected premium takes lapses into account in the first year when lapses are more likely to occur, and thus is a useful indicator of how much new premium is expected to be added to premium income in the future. First-year collected premiums are lower than net sales over the prior 12 months because premiums are not collected on lapsed policies after the date of lapse. In addition, cancellations are not considered as lapses or included in net sales and first-year collected premiums.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
A discussion of life operations by distribution channel follows.
The
American Income Division
is an exclusive agency that markets to members of affinity groups, including labor unions, and continues to diversify its lead sources by utilizing internally generated leads, third-party internet vendor leads, and referrals to facilitate sustainable growth. This Division is Globe Life's largest contributor of life premium of any distribution channel at 54% of the Company's September 30, 2026 total life premium. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, life premium was $1.4 billion, an increase of 5% when compared with the year-ago period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average monthly life premium issued per policy was $64 as compared to $59 for the same period in the prior year. Net sales were $293 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up from $291 million in the year-ago period. The underwriting margin, as a percent of premium, was 50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 unchanged from the same period in the prior year.
The average producing agent count decreased 6% over the year-ago period driven by lower retention of new agents. While long-term sales growth in this Division and our other exclusive agencies is generally tied to expansion of the agency force, declines in agent count provide an opportunity for improved sales productivity among veteran agents as they are more productive than less experienced agents. We have made adjustments to agency middle management compensation to encourage increased new agent recruitment and retention.
Below is the average producing agent count as of the indicated periods for the American Income Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year.

American Income continues to focus on growing and strengthening the agency force, with particular emphasis on strengthening agency middle-management growth. The Division has made considerable investments in both financial incentives and agent training, as well as in information technology. A customer relationship management ("CRM") tool equips agents with intuitive dashboards to drive productivity across lead distribution, business conservation, and new agent recruiting. The Division also continues to enhance technology enabling the agency force to recruit, sell and train virtually. This has benefited our agents as a vast majority of sales are generated through virtual presentations. We find this flexibility to be attractive for new recruits as well as a driver of efficiency in our agency force.
The
Direct to Consumer Division
("DTC") markets adult and juvenile life insurance across multiple channels including direct mail, insert media, and digital marketing using an integrated omnichannel approach where each channel supports and amplifies the others. Digital channels, including internet sales and inbound phone calls, continue to outpace direct mail in activity and growth.
DTC's long-term growth has been driven by consistent innovation and strong brand awareness. The Division also plays a valuable supporting role for our agency business, generating brand impressions, consumer inquiries and sales leads that convert into sales across our exclusive agency channels. Recent technology investments have meaningfully enhanced the underwriting process, improving the conversion of customer inquiries into sales, while new initiatives are continuously introduced to increase response rates, improve issue rates, and deliver a seamless customer experience.
The juvenile insurance market remains an important channel, though growth has slowed over recent quarters. It continues to serve as a valuable gateway for reaching the parents and grandparents of existing juvenile policyholders. These parents and grandparents have shown a higher likelihood of responding to direct-to-consumer life insurance offers compared to the general adult population, making future outreach to them a lower-cost opportunity to drive both adult and juvenile insurance sales.
DTC net sales declined 7% to $78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the year-ago period. The Division is navigating a transition driven by the growing use of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") in consumer search behavior, which has reduced paid search volume from internet marketing. During this quarter
70
GL Q3 2026 FORM 10-Q
Table of Contents
Globe Life Inc.
Management's Discussion & Analysis
ended September 30, 2026, we noted improvement in our inquiry rates supported by several initiatives including AI-enabled advertising. The Division continues to adapt its digital content strategy and positioning to be verified, visible, and easily interpreted by AI assistants.
Beyond direct sales, the Division continues to deliver significant value through agency support with lead generation expected to reach one million this year. Improved conversion rates on leads shared with our agencies have contributed to margin improvement. Despite the decline in net sales, DTC’s underwriting margin grew to $263 million, or 36% of premium, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $247 million, or 34% of premium, for the same period in 2025 driven by favorable mortality in the current period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average monthly life premium issued for DTC adults increased to $19 as compared to $17 for the same period in the prior year.
The
Liberty National Division
is an exclusive agency serving middle-income households and worksite customers by providing individual life insurance products. Recent investments in new sales technologies, combined with growth in agency middle management, are expected to drive continued sales momentum. Underwriting margin declined 9% from the year ago period to $123 million and premium increased 4% to $302 million. The underwriting margin as a percent of premium declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, to 41%, compared to 46% in the year-ago period, as third quarter assumption gains were significantly higher in the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the average monthly life premium per policy issued increased compared to the prior year to $48 from $44.
Below is the average producing agent count for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 for the Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year.

The Division's average producing agent count increased when compared with the prior-year comparable period. This Division continues to execute a long-term plan to grow through expansion from small-town markets in the Southeast to more densely populated areas with larger pools of potential agent recruits and customers. Expansion of this Division’s presence in larger geographic cities with less penetrated areas will help create long-term sustainable agency growth. The Division is also focused on expanding worksite business development capabilities among its agents. A CRM platform and enhanced analytical tools have strengthened worksite marketing efforts and improved productivity across the individual life market. As Liberty National continues to build momentum through technology adoption and recruiting initiatives, it anticipates sustained growth in recruiting activity, average producing agent count, and net sales.
The
Other
agency distribution channels primarily include non-exclusive independent agencies selling primarily life insurance. The Other distribution channels contributed $149 million of life premium income, or 6% of Globe Life's total life premium income in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and contributed 2% of net sales for the period.

Net policy obligations amounted to 56% of premium for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 53% in the year-ago period. The increase in policy obligations is driven by the growth of the United American Division in relation to total health premium, as the United American Division products tend to have higher policy obligations as a percent of premium compared to other limited-benefit health products within our other divisions.

Globe Life Inc.
Management's Discussion & Analysis
A discussion of health operations by distribution channel follows.
The
United American Division
consists of non-exclusive independent general agents and brokers who may also sell for other companies, selling Medicare Supplement insurance to individuals through independent general agents, and group retiree medical and other health insurance through brokers. The Division was Globe Life's largest health division in terms of health premium income, with net sales up 77% from the same period in the prior year. The majority of the premium revenue in the Division comes from Medicare Supplement. Medicare Supplement sales growth remained strong for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, supported by demographic expansion within the eligible population, a notable migration of Medicare beneficiaries from Medicare Advantage to Medicare Supplement plans, and rate increases that took effect during the first half of the year.
Underwriting margin as a percent of premium for the Division was 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, down from 6% for the same period in 2025. The decrease in margin is driven by increased claim utilization and medical cost trends related to Medicare Supplement in addition to a high number of high-severity claims at Evry Health ("Evry"), the Division's developing group major medical business. Evry claims drove an underwriting loss of $26 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Evry was acquired for a number of strategic reasons, including its technology-driven approach to building a better health insurance platform, providing the opportunity to apply learnings from Evry's technology platform toward enhancing Globe Life's broader customer experience and service offerings as well as help deepen broker relationships. Because Evry's premium volume is still relatively small, severe claims experience can disproportionately affect results. We are working to improve underwriting results related to Evry through pricing adjustments, underwriting discipline, and selective growth. As Evry Health scales its group health products business, we may experience continued volatility related to the operating results.
The
Family Heritage Division
is an exclusive agency that primarily markets individual limited-benefit supplemental health insurance to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses and strategic alliances. Most of its policies include a return of premium feature, where premium paid is returned less any claims paid to the policyholder at the end of a specified period stated within the insurance policy. Underwriting margin as a percent of premium was 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 38% for the same period in the prior year.
The Division experienced a 10% increase in health net sales as compared with the same nine month period a year ago, primarily due to increased agent count and increased agent productivity. The Division will continue to implement incentive and retention programs to further these increases in the number of producing agents.
Below is the average producing agent count for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 for the Family Heritage Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year.

The average producing agent count increased 6% compared with the same period a year ago. Along with the Division's increased efforts to grow agent count, it is also focused on the further training and development of its agency middle management, which has risen for the third quarter in a row, alongside continued improvement in agent retention. While growth in net sales and earned premium is impacted by agent productivity, growth in the number of producing agents is the primary driver of future growth in sales, similar to our other exclusive agencies.
The
Liberty National Division
represented 11% of all Globe Life health premium income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Division markets limited-benefit supplemental health products, consisting primarily of cancer, critical illness, and accident insurance. Much of the Division's health business is generated through worksite marketing targeting small businesses. Health premium at the Division was $141.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 down slightly from $142.8 million for the same period in 2025. Liberty National's first-year collected premium declined slightly to $20.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025. Health net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 fell 11% from the comparable period in 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, underwriting margin as a percent of premium was 52%, declining slightly from the same period in the prior year. These declines reflect a greater

Management's Discussion & Analysis
emphasis toward the sale of life insurance products in recent periods. While the agency will continue to focus on life sales, it is currently implementing updates to its sales presentation to reinvigorate health sales going forward.
While both the
American Income Division
and the
Direct to Consumer Division
sell life insurance, they also market health products. The American Income Division primarily markets accident plans. The Direct to Consumer Division primarily markets Medicare Supplement insurance to employer or union-sponsored groups. On a combined basis, these other channels accounted for 12% of health premium for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 13% for the same period in 2025.
INVESTMENTS
We manage our capital resources, including investments and cash flow, through the investment segment. Excess investment income represents the profit margin attributable to investment operations and is the measure that we use to evaluate the performance of the investment segment as described in
Note 12—Business Segments
. It is defined as net investment income less the required interest attributable to policy liabilities.
Our life and health insurance companies collect premium income from policyholders for the eventual payment of policyholder benefits, sometimes paid for many years or even decades in the future. Since benefits are expected to be paid in future periods, premium receipts in excess of current expenses are invested to provide for these obligations. Our core investment strategy is to primarily invest in high-quality fixed maturities containing an adequate yield to provide for the cost of carrying these long-term insurance product obligations. As a result, fixed maturities are generally held for long periods to support these obligations. Expected yields on these investments are taken into account when setting insurance premium rates and product profitability expectations. We also invest in commercial mortgage loans and other long-term investments to diversify risks and enhance risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted returns.
Management views excess investment income per diluted common share as an important and useful measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as excess investment income divided by the total diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, representing the contribution by the investment segment to the consolidated earnings per share of the Company.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Net investment income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $880 million, or 4% greater than the prior year quarter period. Mean invested assets increased 2% during the first nine months of 2026 over the same period last year. Net investment income increased faster than the increase in mean invested assets in the current period due to higher earned yields on fixed maturities, commercial mortgage loans and other long-term investments compared to the prior year period. The effective annual yield earned on the fixed maturity portfolio was 5.32% in the first nine months of 2026, compared to 5.27% for the comparable period in 2025. The earned yield on total long-term invested assets, which includes our fixed maturity, commercial mortgage loan and other long-term non-fixed maturity investments, was 5.51% for the first nine months of 2026 compared to 5.45% for the comparable period of 2025.
While our core investments are fixed maturities, the Company also invests in commercial mortgage loans and limited partnerships with debt-like characteristics that diversify risk and enhance risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted returns on the portfolio. The earned yield on the Company's commercial mortgage loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 7.00% compared with 6.11% in the prior-year period. The higher earned yield on commercial mortgage loans is primarily due to a lower number of non-accrual loans in the first nine months compared to the prior-year period. The earned yield on limited partnership investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 8.07%, compared with 7.99% in the comparable prior-year period. See additional information in
Note 4—Investments
.
Globe Life's net investment income benefits from higher interest rates on new investments. While increasing interest rates have resulted in a net unrealized loss from our available-for-sale debt securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2026, we are not concerned because we do not generally intend to sell, nor is it likely that we will be required to sell, the fixed maturities prior to their anticipated recovery.
Required interest on insurance policy liabilities
reduces excess investment income, as it is the amount of net investment income necessary to cover the interest-related growth on insurance policy liabilities. As such, it is reclassified from the insurance segment to the investment segment. As discussed in
Note 12—Business Segments
,
management regards this as a more meaningful analysis of the investment and insurance segments. Required interest is based on the original discount rate assumptions for our insurance policies in force.
The vast majority of our life and health insurance policies are fixed interest rate protection policies, not investment products, and are accounted for under current GAAP accounting guidance for long-duration insurance products which mandates that interest rate assumptions for a particular block of business be “locked in” for the life of that block of business. Each calendar year, we set the original discount rate to be used to calculate the benefit reserve liability for all insurance policies issued that year. The liability reported on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
is updated in subsequent periods using current discount rates as of the end of the relevant reporting period with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income.
The discount rate used for policies issued in the current year has no impact on the in force policies issued in prior years, as the rates of all prior issue years are also locked in for purposes of recognizing income. As such, the overall original discount rate for the entire in force block of 5.5% is a weighted average of the discount rates being used from all issue years. Changes in the overall weighted-average discount rate over time are caused by changes in the mix of the reserves on the entire block of in force business. Business issued in the current year has little impact on the overall weighted-average original discount rate due to the size of our in force business.
In comparison to the year-ago period, required interest on insurance policy liabilities increased $25 million, or 3%, to $767 million, generally consistent with the 4% growth in average interest-bearing insurance policy liabilities.
Realized Gains and Losses.
Despite our intent to hold fixed maturity investments for a long period of time, investments are occasionally sold, exchanged, called, or experience a credit loss event, resulting in a realized gain or loss. Gains or losses are only secondary to our core insurance operations of providing insurance coverage to policyholders. In a bond exchange offer, bondholders may consent to exchange their existing bonds for another class of debt securities. The Company also has investments in certain limited partnerships, held under the fair value option, with fair value changes recognized in "Realized gains (losses)"

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Realized gains and losses can be significant in relation to the earnings from core insurance operations, and as a result, can have a material positive or negative impact on net income. The significant fluctuations caused by gains and losses can cause period-to-period trends of net income that are not indicative of historical core operating results or predictive of the future trends of core operations. Accordingly, they have no bearing on core insurance operations or segment results as we view operations. For these reasons, and in line with industry practice, we remove the effects of realized gains and losses when evaluating overall insurance operating results.
The following table summarizes our tax-effected realized gains (losses) by component.

(2)
Other realized gains (losses) are primarily a result of changes in the fair value for assets held in rabbi trust.
Investment Acquisitions
.
Globe Life's investment policy calls for a core investment strategy of investing primarily in investment grade fixed maturities that meet the Company's quality and yield objectives. We generally invest in securities with longer-term maturities because they more closely match the long-term nature of our life and health policy liabilities. We believe this strategy is appropriate since our expected future cash flows are generally stable and predictable and the likelihood that we will need to sell invested assets to raise cash is low.
The following table summarizes selected information for fixed maturity investments. The effective annual yield shown is based on the acquisition price and call features, if any, of the securities. For non-callable bonds, the yield is calculated to maturity date. For callable bonds acquired at a premium, the yield is calculated to the earliest known call date and call price after acquisition ("first call date"). For all other callable bonds, the yield is calculated to maturity date.

Tax-equivalent basis, where the yield on tax-exempt securities is adjusted to produce a yield equivalent to the pretax yield on taxable securities.
For investments in callable bonds, the actual life of the investment will depend on whether the issuer calls the investment prior to the maturity date. Given our investments in callable bonds, the actual average life of our investments cannot be known at the time of the investment. Absent sales and "make-whole calls," however, the average life will not be less than the average life to next call and will not exceed the average life to maturity. Data for both of these average life measures is provided in the above chart.
During the nine months of 2026 and 2025, acquisitions consisted primarily of corporate and municipal bonds with securities spanning a diversified range of issuers, industry sectors, and geographical regions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we invested primarily in the industrial, financial, and utility sectors. For the entire portfolio, the taxable equivalent effective yield earned was 5.32%, up approximately 5 basis points from the yield in nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in taxable equivalent effective yield was primarily due to new purchases at yields exceeding the yield on dispositions and the average portfolio yield. For the remainder of 2026, the Company will continue to execute on its existing strategy by seeking to invest in assets that satisfy our quality and other objectives, while striving to maximize the risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted return.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Corporate securities, which consist of bonds and redeemable preferred stocks, were the largest component of the fixed-maturity portfolio as of September 30, 2026, representing 79% of amortized cost, net, and 80% of fair value. The remainder of the portfolio is invested primarily in securities issued by the U.S. government and U.S. municipalities. The Company holds insignificant amounts in foreign government bonds, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Corporate securities are diversified over a variety of industry sectors and issuers. At September 30, 2026, the total fixed maturity portfolio consisted of 1,005 issuers.
Fixed maturities had a fair value of $16.9 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $17.6 billion at December 31, 2025. The net unrealized loss position in the fixed-maturity portfolio increased from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2025 to $2.7 billion at September 30, 2026 due to a change in market rates during the period.
For more information about our fixed-maturity portfolio by component at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, including a discussion of allowance for credit losses, an analysis of unrealized investment losses, and a schedule of maturities, see
Note 4—Investments
.
An analysis of the fixed-maturity portfolio by composite quality rating at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, is shown in the following tables.
The company uses the NAIC designation for credit quality ratings. The NAIC designation is generally determined using the second lowest rating available from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”) when three or more ratings are available and the lowest rating when two or fewer rating are available. When NRSRO ratings are unavailable the rating may be assigned by the Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the NAIC.

Weighted average composite quality rating
A-
The overall quality rating of the portfolio is A-, the same as of year-end 2025. Fixed maturities rated BBB are 39% of the total portfolio at September 30, 2026, down from 42% at December 31, 2025. While this ratio may be high relative to our peers, it is at its lowest level since 2003 and we have limited exposure to higher-risk assets such as derivatives, equities, and asset-backed securities. Additionally, the Company does not participate in securities lending and has no off-balance sheet investments as of September 30, 2026. Of our fixed maturity purchases, BBB securities generally provide the Company with the best risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted returns largely due to our ability to hold securities to maturity regardless of fluctuations in interest rates or equity markets. Our allocation to BBB rated bonds has decreased over the past few years as we have found better risk-adjusted, capital-adjusted value in higher-rated bonds.
An analysis of changes in our portfolio of below-investment grade fixed maturities at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses, is as follows:

Our investment policy calls for investing primarily in fixed maturities that are investment grade and meet our quality and yield objectives. Thus, the balance of below-investment grade issues is primarily the result of ratings downgrades of existing holdings. Below-investment grade bonds at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses, were 3% of total fixed maturities at amortized cost as of September 30, 2026.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses are classified into two categories: insurance administrative expenses and expenses of the Parent Company. Insurance administrative expenses generally include expenses incurred after a policy has been issued. As these expenses relate to premium for a given period, management measures the expenses as a percentage of premium income. The Company also views stock-based compensation expense as a Parent Company expense. Expenses associated with the issuance of our insurance policies are reflected as acquisition expenses and included in the determination of underwriting margin.
An analysis of operating expenses is shown below.

Total operating expenses for September 30, 2026 increased in comparison with the prior year primarily due to increases in insurance administrative expenses. Insurance administrative expenses increased $18 million primarily due to higher information technology costs and other administrative expenses. Insurance administrative expenses as a percent of premium were 7.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
SHARE REPURCHASES
Globe Life has an ongoing share repurchase program that began in 1986. The share repurchase program is reviewed with the Board of Directors quarterly, and continues indefinitely unless and until the Board of Directors decides to suspend, terminate or modify the program. On August 5, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized up to $2.5 billion under the Company's existing share repurchase program. Management generally determines the amount of repurchases based on the amount of excess cash flows and other available sources after the payment of dividends to the Parent Company shareholders, general market conditions, and other alternative uses. At September 30, 2026, we had $2.4 billion remaining under the authorization to repurchase. Since implementing our share repurchase program in 1986, we have used $11.6 billion to repurchase Globe Life Inc. common shares, after determining that the repurchases provide a greater risk-adjusted after-tax return than other alternatives and we expect to continue this program into the future.
Excess cash flow at the Parent Company is primarily comprised of dividends received from the insurance subsidiaries less interest expense paid on its debt and other limited operating activities. Additionally, when stock options are exercised, proceeds from these exercises and the resulting tax benefit are used to repurchase additional shares on the open market to minimize dilution as a result of the option exercises. Share repurchases were made in the current period with anticipation of the expected cashflows for the year.
The following table summarizes share repurchases for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity.
Liquidity provides Globe Life with the ability to meet on demand the cash commitments required to support our business operations and meet our financial obligations. Our liquidity is primarily derived from multiple sources: positive cash flow from operations, a portfolio of marketable securities, pre-capitalized trust securities facility, a revolving credit facility, commercial paper, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Insurance Subsidiary Liquidity
.
The operations of our insurance subsidiaries have historically generated substantial cash inflows in excess of immediate cash needs. Cash inflows for the insurance subsidiaries primarily include premium and investment income. In addition to investment income, maturities and scheduled repayments in the investment portfolio are cash inflows. Cash outflows from operations include policy benefit payments, commissions, administrative expenses, and taxes. A portion of cash inflows in the current year will provide for the payment of future policy benefits and are invested primarily in long-term fixed maturities as they better match the long-term nature of these obligations. While the insurance subsidiaries annually generate more operating cash inflows than cash outflows, the companies also have the entire available-for-sale fixed-maturity portfolio available to create additional cash flows if required.
Four of our insurance subsidiaries are members of the FHLB of Dallas. FHLB membership provides the insurance subsidiaries with access to various low-cost collateralized borrowings and funding agreements. While not the only

source of liquidity, the FHLB could provide the insurance subsidiaries with an additional source of liquidity, if needed. Refer to

for further details.
Parent Company Liquidity.
An important source of Parent Company liquidity is the dividends from its insurance subsidiaries. These dividends are received throughout the year and are used by the Parent Company to pay dividends on common and preferred stock, interest and principal repayment requirements on Parent Company debt, and operating expenses of the Parent Company.

Excess cash flows are reported gross of shareholder dividends. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, shareholder dividends were $73 million and $64 million, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2026, we project approximately $95 million in shareholder dividends, compared to the $86 million paid in 2025.
Our U.S. subsidiaries' dividends are generally paid in amounts equal to the subsidiaries’ prior year statutory net income excluding net realized capital gains. For our Bermuda regulated subsidiaries, dividends cannot exceed 25% of the prior year’s statutory capital and surplus and cannot cause the reinsurer to drop below the minimum solvency margin. Additional sources of liquidity for the Parent Company are cash, intercompany receivables, intercompany borrowings, debt markets, term loans, and a revolving credit facility.
The Company has access to a P-CAP Facility Agreement that provides us with the right to sell at any time to the Trust up to $500 million par of our 6.580% Senior Notes due 2055 (the “6.580% Senior Notes”) in exchange for a corresponding amount of the Strips held by the Trust (the “Issuance Right”). Our capacity under the agreement is based on the value of the Strips which was $447 million as of September 30, 2026. We agreed to pay a semi-annual facility fee of 1.789% per annum on the unexercised portion of the Issuance Right.
The Company can redeem the 6.580% Senior Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of par or a make-whole redemption price. At September 30, 2026, the Company had no senior note issuances under the Facility Agreement.
Short-Term Borrowings.
An additional source of Parent Company liquidity is a credit facility with a group of lenders. The five-year credit agreement was amended on June 26, 2026, resulting in an extended maturity date of June 26, 2031. The facility allows for unsecured borrowings and stand-by letters of credit up to $1 billion, which could be increased up to $1.25 billion. While the Parent Company may request the increase, it is not guaranteed. Up to $250 million in letters of credit can be issued against the facility. The facility serves as a backup line of credit for a commercial paper program under which commercial paper may be issued at any time, with total commercial paper outstanding not to exceed the facility maximum less any letters of credit issued. Interest charged on the commercial paper program resembles variable rate debt due to its short-term nature. As of September 30, 2026, we had available $576 million of additional borrowing capacity under this facility, compared to $554 million a year earlier. As of September 30, 2026, the Parent Company was in full compliance with all covenants related to the aforementioned debt.
As a part of the credit facility, Globe Life has stand-by letters of credit. These letters of credit are issued on behalf of our insurance subsidiaries.

The Company increased commercial paper borrowings by $3 million since year end.
The Parent Company expects to have readily available funds for 2026 and the foreseeable future to conduct its operations and to maintain target capital ratios in the insurance subsidiaries. In the unlikely event that more liquidity is needed, the Company could generate additional funds through multiple sources including, but not limited to the issuance of debt and intercompany borrowings. The Parent Company had access to $111 million of liquid assets available as of September 30, 2026. This liquidity is available to the Company in the event additional funds are needed to support the targeted capital levels within our insurance subsidiaries.
Consolidated Liquidity.
Consolidated net cash inflows from operations were $1.06 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $1.05 billion in the same period of 2025. The increase is attributable to routine fluctuations in the settlement of operating activities. In addition to cash inflows from operations, our insurance companies received proceeds from dispositions of fixed maturities available for sale, mortgage loans, and other long-term investments in the amount of $1.17 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Parent Company has in place a revolving credit facility and a P-CAPS facility. See
Note 11—Debt
for further details. The insurance companies have no additional outstanding credit facilities.
Cash and short-term investments were $353 million at September 30, 2026, compared with $459 million at December 31, 2025. In addition to these liquid assets, $17 billion (fair value at September 30, 2026) of fixed income securities are available for sale in the event of an unexpected need. Approximately $1.7 billion, at fair value, is pledged for outstanding FHLB advances and reinsurance. Further, approximately 97% of our fixed income securities are publicly traded, freely tradable under SEC Rule 144, or qualified for resale under SEC Rule 144A. While our fixed income securities are classified as available for sale, we have the ability and general intent to hold any securities to recovery or maturity. Our strong cash flows from operations, on-going investment maturities, and available liquidity under our credit facility, FHLB and P-CAPS facility make any need to sell securities for liquidity highly unlikely.
Capital Resources.
The Parent Company's capital structure consists of short-term debt (the commercial paper facility and current maturities of long-term debt)
,
long-term debt, and shareholders’ equity. It does not include short-term FHLB borrowings, which are obligations of the insurance subsidiaries and typically repaid over the course of the year.

Management's Discussion & Analysis
Subsidiary Capital
:
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has established a risk-based factor approach for determining threshold risk-based capital levels for all U.S. insurance companies. This approach was designed to assist the regulatory bodies in identifying companies that may require regulatory attention. A Risk-Based Capital ratio is typically calculated by dividing adjusted total statutory capital by the amount of RBC determined using the NAIC’s factors.
If a company’s RBC ratio approaches two times the RBC amount, the company must file a plan with the NAIC for improving its capital levels (this level is commonly referred to as “Company Action Level” RBC). Companies typically hold a multiple of the Company Action Level RBC depending on their particular business needs and risk profile.
Our goal is to maintain statutory capital within our insurance subsidiaries at levels necessary to support our current ratings. We target a consolidated Company Action Level RBC ratio of 300% to 320% for our U.S. insurance subsidiaries. The Company has concluded that this capital level is more than adequate and sufficient to support its current ratings, given the nature of its business and its risk profile. For 2025, our consolidated Company Action Level RBC ratio was 316%. The Parent Company is committed to maintaining the targeted consolidated RBC ratio at its insurance subsidiaries and has sufficient liquidity available to provide additional capital if necessary.
In addition, our Bermuda-based insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation in Bermuda. The Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") has capital requirements and solvency standards including limitations on dividends or distributions to shareholders. Our Bermuda subsidiaries' level of capitalization exceeded the required minimum solvency margins for the year ended 2025.
Shareholders' Equity
:
Shareholders’ equity was $6.6 billion at September 30, 2026. This compares with $6.0 billion at December 31, 2025 and $5.7 billion at September 30, 2025. During the nine months since December 31, 2025, shareholders’ equity increased as a result of net income of $919 million in 2026, but was offset by share repurchases of $564 million and an additional $165 million in share repurchases to offset the dilution from stock option exercises. Additionally, the change in the balance of AOCI increased shareholders' equity $355 million primarily due to changes in interest rates and discount rates over the period.
On August 6, 2026, the Parent Company announced that it had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per share, an increase of 22% from the previous amount of $0.27 per share. This dividend was paid on October 30, 2026.
We plan to use excess cash available at the Parent Company as efficiently as possible in the future. Excess cash flow, as we define it, results primarily from the dividends received by the Parent Company from its insurance subsidiaries less the interest paid on debt. The cash received by the Parent Company from our insurance subsidiaries is after they have made substantial investments during the year to grow the business. Possible uses of excess cash flow include, but are not limited to, share repurchases, acquisitions, shareholder dividend payments, subsidiary capital contributions, investments in securities, or repayment of short-term debt. We will determine the best use of excess cash after ensuring that targeted capital levels are maintained in our insurance subsidiaries. If market conditions are favorable, we currently expect that share repurchases will continue to be a primary use of those funds.
Future policy benefits are computed using current discount rates with the impact of changes in discount rates included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, the liability for future policy benefits is calculated using net premiums rather than gross premiums. Given that gross premiums are considerably higher than net premiums for our business, as seen in
Note 6—Policy Liabilities
, the measurement of the liability is higher than what it would be had it been computed using gross premiums. This is an important consideration when analyzing shareholders' equity.
We maintain a significant available-for-sale fixed maturity portfolio to support our insurance policy liabilities. Current accounting guidance requires that we revalue our portfolio to fair market value at the end of each accounting period. The period-to-period changes in fair value, net of their associated impact on income tax, are reflected directly in shareholders’ equity in AOCI. Changes in the fair value of the portfolio can result from changes in market rates.

GL Q3 2026 FORM 10-Q
Table of Contents
GLOBE LIFE INC.
Management's Discussion & Analysis
While a majority of invested assets are revalued, accounting rules do not permit interest-bearing insurance policy liabilities to be valued at fair value in a consistent manner as that of assets, with changes in value applied directly to shareholders’ equity. Due to the size of our policy liabilities in relation to our shareholders’ equity, an inconsistency exists in measurement, which may have a material impact on the reported value of shareholders’ equity. Fluctuations in interest rates cause undue volatility in the period-to-period presentation of our shareholders’ equity, capital structure, and financial ratios. Due to the long-term nature of our fixed maturity investments and liabilities and the strong cash flows consistently generated by our insurance subsidiaries, we have the ability to hold our securities to maturity. As such, we do not expect to incur losses due to fluctuations in market value of fixed maturities caused by market rate changes and temporarily illiquid markets. Accordingly, our management, credit rating agencies, lenders, many industry analysts, and certain other financial statement users prefer to remove the effects of AOCI when analyzing our balance sheet, capital structure, and financial ratios.
