Globe Life posted second quarter net operating income of $3.61 per share, up 10% year-over-year, narrowly missing the $3.67 consensus estimate. Net income on a GAAP basis came in at $3.65 per share, boosted by investment gains, representing a 20% increase over the prior year period. Total premium revenue grew 7%, with health insurance the standout at 16% growth driven by Medicare supplement rate increases and strong United American and Family Heritage sales. Life premiums grew a more modest 3%, constrained by agent count headwinds at the company's largest distribution channel, American Income Life.
