GLOBE LIFE INC.

A discussion of life operations by distribution channel follows.

The American Income Life Division is an exclusive agency that markets to members of labor unions and other affinity groups and continues to diversify its lead sources, 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 53% of the Company's September 30, 2025 total life premium. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the average monthly life premium issued per policy was $59 as compared to $56 for the same period in the prior year. Net sales were $291 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up from $289 million in the year-ago period. The underwriting margin, as a percent of premium, was 50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 47% for the same period in the prior year.

The average producing agent count increased 3% over the year-ago period. The increase in average producing agent count was driven by an increase in new agent recruiting along with continued improvement in new agent retention. Sales growth in this Division, as well as within our other exclusive agencies, is generally dependent on growth in the size of the agency force.

Below is the average producing agent count as of the indicated periods for the American Income Life 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 Life continues to focus on growing and strengthening the agency force, specifically through emphasis on agency middle-management growth and additional agency openings. In addition to offering financial incentives and training opportunities, the Division has made considerable investments in information technology, including a customer relationship management (CRM) tool for the agency force. This tool is designed to provide dashboards and drive productivity in lead distribution, conservation of business, and new agent recruiting. Additionally, this Division has invested in and successfully implemented technology that allows the agency force to engage in virtual recruiting, training, and sales activity. The agents have shifted to primarily a virtual experience with the customers and have generated a vast majority of sales through virtual presentations. We find this flexibility to be enticing for new recruits as well as a driver of retention in our agency force.

The Direct to Consumer Division (DTC) markets adult and juvenile life insurance through a variety of channels, including direct mail, insert media, and digital marketing. The different media channels support and complement one another in the Division's efforts to provide consumer outreach. All three channels work as part of an omnichannel approach. Sales from the internet and inbound phone calls continue to outpace the activity from direct mail. DTC's long-term growth has been fueled by consistent innovation and brand awareness. Additionally, the DTC Division provides valuable support to our agency business through brand impressions and inquiries that lead to sales in our exclusive agency channels. We have implemented new technology to enhance our underwriting process, this has improved the conversion of customer inquiries into sales. New initiatives are continuously introduced to help increase response rates, issue rates, and create a seamless customer experience. The juvenile insurance market is an important source of sales as well as a vehicle to reach the parents and grandparents of existing juvenile insureds, who are more likely to respond favorably to a direct to consumer solicitation for life coverage on themselves in comparison to the general adult population. Additionally, future offerings to parents and grandparents for adult and juvenile insurance are sources of lower acquisition-cost life insurance sales in the future.

DTC net sales were flat at $83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the year-ago period. We have seen net sales trending up the last two quarters and noted a 13% increase for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year three months ended. We have been focused on improving profitability and improving underwriting margin in this division. DTC’s underwriting margin was $246.9 million and 34% as a percent of premium for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $210.7 million and 28% as a percent of premium for the same period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the average monthly life premium issued for DTC adults was $17 as compared to $15 for the same period in the prior year.

The Liberty National Division is an exclusive agency that markets individual life insurance to middle-income household and worksite customers. Recent investments in new sales technologies as well as recent growth in agency middle management within the Division are expected to support increased sales. Underwriting margin rose 27% from the year ago period to $136 million and premium increased 5% to $292 million. The underwriting margin as a percent of premium increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to 46% compared to 38% in year-ago period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the average monthly life premium per policy issued rose slightly compared to the prior year to $44 from $43.

Below is the average producing agent count for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 for the Liberty National Division. The average producing agent count is based on the actual count at the beginning and end of each week during the year.

The Liberty National 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. Additionally, the Division continues to help improve the ability of agents to develop new worksite business. A CRM platform and enhanced analytical capabilities have helped the agents develop additional worksite marketing opportunities and improve the productivity of agents selling in the individual life market. As the Division gains momentum in its sales and recruiting initiatives, advances in technology and use of the CRM platform, it anticipates continued 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 $151 million of life premium income, or 6% of Globe Life's total life premium income in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and contributed 2% of net sales for the period.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Health insurance sold by the Company primarily includes Medicare Supplement insurance as well as retiree health insurance, accident coverage, and other limited-benefit supplemental health products such as cancer, critical illness, heart disease, accident, intensive care, and other health products.

Health premium accounted for 31% of our total premium in 2025, while the health underwriting margin accounted for 20% of total underwriting margin. Health underwriting margin increased to $291 million compared to $281 million in the prior year. While the Company continues to emphasize life insurance sales relative to health, due to life’s long-term profitability and its greater contribution to excess investment income, the health business provides a significant contribution to return on equity as it does not require a substantial amount of up-front capital.

The following table presents underwriting margin data for health insurance.
