McKinney, TX, October 22, 2025—Globe Life Inc. (NYSE: GL) reported today that for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, net income was $4.73 per diluted common share, compared with $3.44 per diluted common share for the year-ago quarter. Net operating income was $4.81 per diluted common share, compared with $3.49 per diluted common share for the year-ago quarter.

Net operating income, a non-GAAP(1) financial measure, has been used consistently by Globe Life’s 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 net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized investment gains and losses and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company’s business. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

The following table represents Globe Life's operating summary for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

(1)GAAP is defined as accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(2)Definitions included within this document.

(3)A GAAP-basis condensed consolidated statement of operations is included in the appendix of this report.

Note: Tables in this earnings release may not sum due to rounding.

Shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, and book value per share, excluding AOCI, are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. Management views the business in this manner because it creates more meaningful and easily identifiable trends, as we exclude fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates. Shareholders' equity and book value per share are the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(1) Calculated using average shareholders' equity for the measurement period.

Life insurance accounted for 82% of the Company’s insurance underwriting margin for the quarter and 69% of total premium revenue.

Health insurance accounted for 18% of the Company's insurance underwriting margin for the quarter and 31% of total premium revenue.

Net sales of life insurance increased 2% for the quarter, and net health sales increased 21%.

The following table summarizes Globe Life's premium revenue by product type for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Insurance underwriting margin is management’s measure of profitability of the Company's life and health segments’ underwriting performance, and consists of premiums less policy obligations (excluding interest on policy liabilities), commissions and other acquisition expenses. Insurance underwriting income is the sum of the insurance underwriting margins of the life and health segments, plus annuity and other income, less administrative expenses. It excludes the investment segment, interest on debt, Parent Company expense, stock compensation expense and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of underwriting results by distribution channel. Insurance underwriting income, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income in the Results of Operations section above.

The following table summarizes Globe Life's insurance underwriting income by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

The ratio of administrative expenses to premium was 7.3%, compared with 7.5% for the year-ago quarter.

Our distribution channels consist of the following exclusive divisions: American Income Life Division (American Income), Liberty National Division (Liberty National), Family Heritage Division (Family Heritage), Direct to Consumer Division (Direct to Consumer); and an independent agency, United American Division (United American).

Total premium, underwriting margins, first-year collected premium and net sales by all distribution channels are shown at https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com at "Financial Reports and Other Financial Information."

(1)Net sales is calculated as annualized premium issued, net of cancellations in the first thirty 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 1 month) has expired. Management considers net sales to be a better indicator of the rate of premium growth than annualized premium issued since annualized premium issued is before cancellations, as cancellations do not contribute to premium income.

Management uses excess investment income as the measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as net investment income less the required interest attributable to policy liabilities. We also view excess investment income per diluted common share as an important and useful measure to evaluate performance of the investment segment, since it takes into consideration our stock repurchase program.

The following table summarizes Globe Life's investment income, excess investment income, and excess investment income per diluted common share.

(1)Interest on policy liabilities, at original discount rates, is a component of total policyholder benefits, a GAAP measure.

Net investment income and average invested assets were relatively flat. Required interest on policy liabilities and average policy liabilities both increased approximately 1.5%.

Comparable information for acquisitions of fixed maturity and other investments is as follows:

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 840,242 shares of Globe Life Inc. common stock at a total cost of $113 million and an average share price of $134.17.

Globe Life's operations consist primarily of writing basic protection life and supplemental health insurance policies which generate strong and stable cash flows. These cash flows are not impacted by volatile equity markets. Liquidity at the Parent Company is sufficient to meet additional capital needs of the insurance companies.

Globe Life projects net operating income between $14.40 to $14.60 per diluted common share for the year ending December 31, 2025. For the year ending December 31, 2026, we estimate that net operating income per share will

be in the range of $14.60 to $15.30.
