News Release

Globe Life Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

October 21, 2020

McKinney, Texas

Globe Life Inc. (NYSE: GL) reported today that for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, net income was $1.76 per diluted common share, compared with $1.82 per diluted common share for the year-ago quarter. Net operating income for the quarter was $1.75 per diluted common share, compared with $1.73 per diluted common share for the year-ago quarter.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Net income as an ROE was 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net operating income as an ROE excluding net unrealized gains on fixed maturities was 13.6%.
  • Life premiums increased over the year-ago quarter by 9% at the American Income Life Division and 8% at the Direct to Consumer Division.
  • Health premiums increased over the year-ago quarter by 8% at the Family Heritage Division.
  • Life net sales at the Direct to Consumer Division and American Income Life Division increased over the year-ago quarter by 50% and 14%, respectively.
  • Health underwriting margin increased over the year-ago quarter by 20%.
  • 1.4 million shares of Globe Life Inc. common stock were repurchased during the quarter.

COVID-19 Update: Over the past two quarters, the Company has seen a rise in life claims as result of the pandemic and a corresponding decrease in life underwriting margins. While the Company cannot precisely estimate the length or severity of COVID-19, we anticipate approximately $56 million in COVID-related life claims for the full year 2020. Despite the challenges created by the pandemic, the Company continues to effectively conduct business operations through its various distribution channels.

Note: As used in the earnings release, "Globe Life," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Globe Life Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1979, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.

MANAGEMENT VS. GAAP MEASURES

Shareholders' equity, excluding net unrealized gains on fixed maturities, and book value per share, excluding net unrealized gains on fixed maturities, are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of unrealized gains or losses which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates associated with the available-for-sale portfolio. Management views the business in this manner because the Company does not intend to sell, nor is it likely that management will be required to sell, the fixed maturities prior to their anticipated recovery. It creates more meaningful trends than can be more easily identified without the fluctuations. Shareholders' equity and book value per share are the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

INSURANCE UNDERWRITING INCOME

Insurance underwriting margin is management's measure of profitability of the Company's life, health, and annuity segments' underwriting performance, and consists of premiums less policy obligations, commissions and other acquisition expenses. Insurance underwriting income is the sum of the insurance underwriting margins of the life, health, and annuity segments, plus other income, less insurance administrative expenses. It excludes the investment segment, 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, 2020 and 2019:

The lower life insurance underwriting margins in the third quarter of 2020 are primarily attributed to approximately $18 million of higher claims as a result of COVID-19 in the current quarter.

Administrative expenses were $63 million, up 4.0% from the year-ago quarter. The ratio of administrative expenses to premium was 6.6%, compared with 6.7% for the year-ago quarter.

INVESTMENTS

Management uses excess investment income as the measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as net investment income less both the required interest attributable to net policy liabilities and the interest on debt. 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.

SHARE REPURCHASE:

In August, the Company resumed the share repurchase program. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of Globe Life Inc. common stock at a total cost of $118 million and an average share price of $81.79. Year-to-date, the Company has repurchased 3.1 million shares of Globe Life Inc. common stock at a total cost of $257 million and an average share price of $83.74.

LIQUIDITY/CAPITAL:

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. During the third quarter, the Company issued $400 million of senior unsecured notes due August 15, 2030 and negotiated a new credit facility. (Refer to recent 8-Ks for further information.) Liquidity at the Parent Company is sufficient to meet additional capital needs, if any, of the insurance companies.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2021:

Globe Life projects that net operating income per share will be in the range of $6.84 to $7.00 for the year ending December 31, 2020 and from $7.30 to $7.80 for the year ending December 31, 2021. 

NON-GAAP MEASURES:

In this news release, Globe Life includes non-GAAP measures to enhance investors' understanding of management's view of the business.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements related to the expected impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business operations, financial results and financial condition. These prospective statements reflect management's current expectations, but are not guarantees of future performance. 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 COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the U.S. economy,  leading to unexpected changes in lapse rates and/or sales of our policies, as well as levels of mortality, morbidity, and 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 would affect Medicare Supplement); 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 could affect the sales of traditional Medicare Supplement insurance; 4) Interest rate changes that affect product sales and/or investment portfolio yield; 5) General economic, industry sector or individual debt issuers' financial conditions (including developments and volatility arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in certain industries that may comprise part of our investment portfolio) that may 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; 6) Changes in pricing competition; 7) Litigation results; 8) Levels of administrative and operational efficiencies that differ from our assumptions (including any reduction in efficiencies resulting from increased costs arising from operating during the COVID-19 pandemic); 9) The ability to obtain timely and appropriate premium rate increases for health insurance policies from our regulators; 10) The customer response to new products and marketing initiatives; 11) Reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which are based on management estimates and judgments which may differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized; 12) 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; 13) The severity, magnitude and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including effects of the pandemic and the effects of the U.S. government's and other businesses' response to the pandemic, on our operations and personnel, and on commercial activity and demand for our products; and 14) Globe Life's ability to access the commercial paper and debt markets, particularly if such markets become unpredictable or unstable for a certain period as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Readers are also directed to consider other risks and uncertainties described in other documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Globe Life specifically disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future developments or otherwise.
