MCKINNEY, Texas, July 24,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Torchmark Corporation (NYSE: TMK) reported
today that for the quarter ended June 30,
2019, net income was $1.67 per
diluted common share, compared with $1.59 per diluted common share for the year-ago
quarter. Net operating income for the quarter was $1.67 per diluted common share, compared with
$1.51 per diluted common share for
the year-ago quarter.
Torchmark also announced today that its corporate name will be
changed to Globe Life Inc. effective August
8, 2019. The NYSE ticker will be changed to GL on
August 9, 2019. The name change is
part of a brand alignment strategy which will enhance the Company's
ability to build name recognition with potential customers and
agent recruits through use of a single brand. The underwriting
companies owned by the Parent Company will continue to exist as
legal entities, but over a period of time will go to market under
the Globe Life name to leverage branding initiatives implemented at
Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company in recent years.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Net income as an ROE was 12.3%. Net operating income as an ROE
excluding net unrealized gains on fixed maturities was 14.6%.
- Life underwriting margin at American Income Exclusive Agency
and Globe Life Direct Response both increased over the year-ago
quarter by 9%.
- Health underwriting margin at Family Heritage Exclusive Agency
increased over the year-ago quarter by 14%.
- Life premiums increased over the year-ago quarter by 7% at
American Income Exclusive Agency and health premiums increased over
the year-ago quarter by 8% at Family Heritage Exclusive
Agency.
- Net health sales increased over the year-ago quarter by
14%.
- 979,215 shares of common stock were repurchased during the
quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net operating income, a non-GAAP(1) financial
measure, has been used consistently by Torchmark'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
has the ability and generally, the intent, to hold investments to
maturity and meaningful trends can more easily be 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 its 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 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.

underwriting income by segment for the three months ended

Net sales is
annualized premium issued (gross premium that would be received
during the policies' first year in force and assuming that none of
the policies lapsed or terminated), net of cancellations in the
first thirty days after issue, except in the case of Globe Life
Direct Response where net sales is annualized premium issued at the
time the first full premium is paid after any introductory offer
period has expired. We believe that net sales is a better indicator
of the rate of premium growth than annualized premium
issued.

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, as it takes into consideration our stock
repurchase program.
The following table summarizes Torchmark's investment income,
excess investment income, and excess investment income per diluted
common share.
