New in FY2021

Our future success depends, in substantial part, on our ability to recruit, hire, motivate, develop and retain highly-skilled insurance personnel.

New in FY2021

Doing so may be difficult due to many factors, including but not limited to, fluctuations in economic and industry conditions and the effectiveness of our compensation programs and competition among other employers.

New in FY2021

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded approximately $140 million of COVID-19 life claims.

New in FY2021

This amount includes certain estimates, utilizing accepted actuarial practices, of what management expects the ultimate settlement and claims administration will cost for claims that have occurred by the end of the year, whether known or unknown.

New in FY2021

Given the great uncertainties associated with COVID-19 and its impact and the limited information

New in FY2021

Our life and health insurance products are particularly exposed to risks of catastrophic mortality, such as a pandemic or other events that result in a large number of deaths.

New in FY2021

In addition, the occurrence of such an event in a concentrated geographic area could have a severe disruptive effect on our workforce and business operations.

New in FY2021

The likelihood and severity of such events cannot be predicted and are difficult to estimate.

New in FY2021

In such an event, the impact to our operations could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business and on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly if those problems affect employees performing operations tasks and supporting computer-based data processing, or destroy the capability to transmit, store, and retrieve valuable data.

New in FY2021

In addition, in the event that a significant number of our management were unavailable following a disaster, our strategic plan could be negatively impacted.

New in FY2021

GL 2021 FORM 10-K

New in FY2021

Our business is subject to the risk of direct or indirect effects of climate change.

New in FY2021

Climate change may increase the frequency and severity of weather-related natural disasters and pandemics, which may adversely impact our mortality and morbidity rates and disrupt our business operations.

New in FY2021

In addition, climate change and climate change regulation may affect the prospects of companies and other entities whose securities we hold, or our willingness to continue to hold their securities.

New in FY2021

Climate change may also influence investor sentiment with respect to the Company and investments in our portfolio.

New in FY2021

We cannot predict how legal, regulatory and social responses to concerns around climate change may impact our business.

New in FY2021

These changes including underlying assumptions, projections, estimates or judgments/interpretations by management, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

General Risk Factors

New in FY2021

The failure to effectively maintain and modernize our information technology systems and infrastructure could adversely affect our business.

New in FY2021

Our ability to modernize our information technology systems and infrastructure requires us to commit to significant resources, effective planning, and execution.

New in FY2021

In addition, due to the highly regulated nature of the insurance industry, we must continually implement new technology or adapt existing technology to meet compliance requirements of new and proposed regulations.

New in FY2021

Should we be unable to implement these innovations effectively, efficiently, or in a timely manner, it could result in poor customer experience, additional expenses, reputational harm, legal, and regulatory actions and other adverse consequences.

New in FY2021

This could also result in the inability to effectively support business operations.

New in FY2021

GL 2021 FORM 10-K

New in FY2021

We may fail to meet expectations relating to environmental, social, and governance standards and practices.

New in FY2021

Certain existing or potential investors, customers and regulators evaluate our business or other practices according to a variety of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) standards and expectations.

New in FY2021

Certain of our regulators have proposed or adopted, or may propose or adopt, ESG rules or standards that would apply to our business.

New in FY2021

Our practices may be judged by ESG standards that are continually evolving and not always clear.

New in FY2021

Prevailing ESG standards and expectations may also reflect contrasting or conflicting values or agendas.

New in FY2021

We may fail to meet our commitments or targets, and our policies and processes to evaluate and manage ESG standards in coordination with other business priorities may not prove completely effective or satisfy investors, customers, regulators, or others.

New in FY2021

For example, as we consider the recommendations of SASB, TCFD, and develop our own ESG materiality assessment, we may continue to expand our disclosures in these areas.

New in FY2021

Our failure to report accurately or achieve progress on our metrics on a timely basis, or at all, could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial performance and growth.

New in FY2021

We may face adverse regulatory, investor, customer, media, or public scrutiny leading to business, reputational, or legal challenges.

Globe Life Inc. is the holding company for a group of insurance companies that market primarily individual life and supplemental health insurance to lower middle to middle income households throughout the United States.

The insurance product line segments involve the marketing, underwriting, and administration of policies. Each product line is further segmented 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: | | |

Despite headwinds with COVID-19, the Company continues to see positive signs in its core operations, including strong sales, favorable persistency and a strong ROE, excluding net unrealized gains on the fixed maturity portfolio.

New in FY2021

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were approximately 460 thousand U.S. COVID-19 deaths in 2021.

New in FY2021

In the second half of the year, the COVID-19 deaths were concentrated in geographies and younger age groups where the Company has greater risk exposure.

New in FY2021

The Company’s level of COVID-19 net life claims, on average for the year, was approximately $3 million per 10,000 U.S. deaths.

New in FY2021

Going forward, we anticipate that COVID-19 deaths will continue at elevated levels throughout 2022, with an impact of approximately $50 million at the mid-point of our guidance based on incurred claims in the range of $3 million to $4 million per 10,000 U.S. deaths.

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.

New in FY2021

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.

New in FY2021

Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company’s business.

New in FY2021

Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Over the past year and through the pandemic, the agents have shifted to primarily a virtual experience with the customers and have generated a vast majority of its sales through virtual presentations.

New in FY2021

We find this flexibility to be enticing for new recruits as well as a driver of sustainability for our agency force.

New in FY2021

This had been steadily increasing prior to COVID-19, but the pandemic accelerated this activity due in part to the awareness of needing life insurance from the effects of COVID-19.

DTC net sales decreased 10% to $149 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $165 million in the prior year, primarily due to the record high net life sales in the prior year at the onset of the pandemic.

New in FY2021

We expect continued strong sales in 2022 due to the heightened awareness as to the benefits of life insurance.

New in FY2021

DTC incurred $69 million of COVID-19 net life claims, representing approximately 7% of premium, in 2021 compared with $35 million in 2020.

This division incurred $28 million of COVID-19 net life claims, representing approximately 9% of premium, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $12 million in 2020.

New in FY2021

With the division's ability to return to face-to-face customer interaction and the option of virtual sales, total net life sales increased for the full year 2021.

New in FY2021

However, due to higher policy obligations as result of COVID-19, underwriting margin as a percent of premium was lower for the full year 2021 as compared with 2020.

New in FY2021

As the division continues to gain momentum in its sales and recruiting initiatives and advances its technology and CRM platform, the agency should see an increase in recruiting of new agents and an increase in the average producing agent count.

Management's Discussion & Analysis

Dropped from FY2020

COVID-19. With respect to the impact of COVID-19 on our underwriting results for the full year 2020, we estimate $67 million of COVID-19 life claims were incurred.

Dropped from FY2020

At the midpoint of our 2021 guidance, we are now projecting approximately $52 million of additional life claims will be incurred in 2021, based on an estimate of approximately 270,000 U.S. deaths.

Dropped from FY2020

This estimate of U.S. deaths is based on various third-party models.

A discussion of each of Globe Life's segments follows.

Dropped from FY2020

A significant factor in the performance of our various segments has been the impact of COVID-19.

Dropped from FY2020

In response to this crisis, our crisis management and incident response teams successfully guided the Company into a smooth transition of working remotely.

Dropped from FY2020

We quickly transitioned those employees whose jobs did not require them to be in the office, averaging approximately 80-85% of the Company's total workforce, to working remotely.

Dropped from FY2020

The Company has continued to operate effectively while taking steps to help ensure the health and safety of our employees through adherence to the CDC and local government work guidelines.

Dropped from FY2020

With over 13 thousand exclusive agents in the field, the Company was presented with a challenge to move from face-to-face sales presentations in customers' homes and businesses to a virtual sales process.

Dropped from FY2020

Despite its challenges, the Company's agencies also had to move from in-person recruiting and training of new agents to virtual processes.

Dropped from FY2020

The Company's exclusive agency divisions were able to quickly pivot and continue to write new business and hire new agents due in part to new and updated information technology systems put in place over the last several years.

Dropped from FY2020

Through the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company has seen a 28% increase in agent count at American Income and a 14% increase at Family Heritage compared with the prior year comparable period.

As the division gains momentum in the virtual sales environment, the agency will benefit from the abundant recruiting opportunities currently available for new agents.

Dropped from FY2020

Sales were hindered in the first half of the year due to difficulties in agents transitioning to a virtual work environment after the onset of the COVID-19 lockdown, as well as mandatory shut-downs of non-essential small businesses which hindered the ability of the division’s agents to prospect at the worksite.

Dropped from FY2020

In the second half of the year, sales improved in the worksite market as businesses were able to reopen.

Dropped from FY2020

Year-to-date health premium accounted for 30% of our total premium in 2020, while the health underwriting margin accounted for 28% of total underwriting margin, reflective of the lower underwriting margin as a percent of premium for health compared with life insurance.

The United American Independent Agency represents 80% of all Medicare Supplement premium and 94% of Medicare Supplement net sales.

Dropped from FY2020

Underwriting margin as a percent of premium was 15%, up from 14% for the prior year primarily due to lower non-deferred commissions and amortization of deferred acquisition costs as a percentage of premium in 2020 compared with 2019.

Dropped from FY2020

The increase was primarily attributable to improved persistency and lower acquisition expenses as a percent of premium compared with the prior year.

Dropped from FY2020

A focused effort across the division for increased recruiting activity along with a targeted incentive program throughout 2020 helped drive the 19% average producing agent count growth as noted below.

Dropped from FY2020

Net health sales increased 8% compared with the prior year.

Dropped from FY2020

While it was initially a challenge at this division to add virtual sales to their in-person sales model during the lock-down, we are encouraged by the ability of this division to adapt and to adopt supplementary ways of doing business in this challenging environment, demonstrated by the strong recovery in sales during the second half of the year.

Dropped from FY2020

Health net sales for 2020 decreased by $2 million or 7% from 2019 primarily due our inability to prospect to businesses deemed non-essential that were closed during the early stages of the pandemic.

Dropped from FY2020

However, in 2020 excess investment income declined primarily due to the low interest rate environment.

*Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve (CECL adoption)*: On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, replacing the GAAP "incurred loss" model with a new methodology referred to as current expected credit losses (CECL).

Dropped from FY2020

The previous methodology delayed recognition of credit losses until it was probable that a loss had incurred, ultimately resulting in fewer instances of losses being recorded in earnings.

Dropped from FY2020

The new CECL methodology

Dropped from FY2020

is forward looking—encompassing relevant information about historical experience, current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of a reported amount.

Dropped from FY2020

The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables.

Dropped from FY2020

Upon adoption, the standard affected the Company's commercial mortgage loans ("Other long-term investments") and agent debit balances ("Other receivables").

Dropped from FY2020

The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method.

Dropped from FY2020

The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax, of $454 thousand to retained earnings, consisting of $265 thousand and $189 thousand for commercial mortgage loans and agent debit balances, respectively.

In addition, the standard made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities through the removal of "other-than-temporary-impairment" (OTTI) write downs and replaced them with an allowance for credit losses.

Dropped from FY2020

The new methodology will allow the Company to record reversals of credit losses in situations where the estimate of credit losses declines through current period net income ("Realized gains (losses)").

Dropped from FY2020

The Company adopted the standard using the prospective transition approach for available-for-sale fixed maturities for which OTTI had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020.

Dropped from FY2020

As a result, the amortized cost basis and the effective interest rate remain unchanged after the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Dropped from FY2020

Amortized cost will now be reflected as "amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses" or "amortized cost, net." The Company has not elected the fair value option for any financial assets recorded at amortized cost that would be in scope of this standard.

Dropped from FY2020

Based on factors considered by management, aside from the cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption described above, there were no additional credit losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020.
