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, supplemental 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. Our distribution channels consist of the following exclusive agencies: American Income Life Division (American Income), Liberty National Division (Liberty National) and Family Heritage Division (Family Heritage); an independent agency, United American Division (United American); and our 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 June 30, 2026, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods ended June 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 have been satisfied. Accordingly, the Stonebridge Building has been classified as an asset held for sale in "Other assets" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026. Upon classification, depreciation of the asset ceased. Book value of the building, land and improvements was approximately $27.9 million as of June 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 by the end of the year. 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 (Plant, Property, 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.

The following table represents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements:

(1)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.

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 June 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. The motion is scheduled to be fully briefed by October 30, 2026. 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 “City of Miami 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.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

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 six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(3)Unamortized issuance costs for P-CAPS facility agreement.

The commercial paper has the highest priority of all unsecured debt, followed by senior notes then junior subordinated debentures. The senior notes are callable under a make-whole provision, and the junior subordinated debentures are subject to an optional redemption five years from issuance. Interest on the 4.25% junior subordinated debentures and the term loan are payable quarterly while all other long-term debt is payable semi-annually.

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, 3031, 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 variable rates. In accordance with the agreement, Globe Life is subject to certain covenants regarding capitalization.

Globe Life Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

As of June 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 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 June 30, 2026, the Company had no senior note issuances under the Facility Agreement.

Federal Home Loan Bank*:* FHLB membership provides certain of our insurance subsidiaries with access to various low-cost collateralized borrowings and funding agreements. The membership requires ownership of FHLB common stock, as well as the purchase of activity-based common stock equal to approximately 4.1% of outstanding borrowings. Globe Life owned $32.9 million in FHLB common stock as of June 30, 2026 and $32.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The FHLB stock is restricted from redemption or repurchases for the duration of the membership and recorded at cost (par) as required by applicable guidance. The FHLB stock is included in "Other long-term investments*"* on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Borrowings with the FHLB are subject to the availability of pledged assets at the insurance subsidiaries of Globe Life.

As of June 30, 2026, Globe Life's insurance subsidiaries' maximum borrowing capacity under the FHLB facility was approximately $986 million, net of outstanding funding agreements and short-term borrowings, on pledged assets with a fair value of $1.7 billion. As of June 30, 2026, $484 million in funding agreements were outstanding with the FHLB, compared to $437 million as of December 31, 2025. This amount is included in "Other policyholders' funds" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had no short-term borrowings from the FHLB as of June 30, 2026. Short-term borrowings were $70 million for the same period in 2025.

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.

The following tables present segment premium revenue by each of Globe Life's distribution channels.

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.

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

GL Q2 2026 FORM 10-Q

Globe Life Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

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 Item 1A. Risk Factors.
