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 becomes available for identical assets/ liabilities or the ability to corroborate by observable market data.

(1)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.
Private placement fixed maturities and asset-backed securities are valued based on the contractual cash flows discounted by a yield 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. For more information regarding valuation procedures, please refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies under the caption Fair Value Measurements, Investments in Securities disclosed in the Form 10-K.

Gross unrealized losses may fluctuate quarter over quarter due to factors in the market that affect our 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 from time to time, 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 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 equates to higher risk of loss. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2025 | | Recorded Investment | | Debt Service Coverage Ratios(1) | | | | | | <1.00x | | 1.00x—1.20x | | >1.20x | | Total | | % of Gross Total | Loan-to-value ratio(2): | | | | | | | | | | Less than 70% | $ | 114,189 | | | $ | 56,783 | | | $ | 242,599 | | | $ | 413,571 | | | 89 | | 70% to 80% | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | | 81% to 90% | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | | Greater than 90% | 12,458 | | | 36,367 | | | — | | | 48,825 | | | 11 | | Total | $ | 126,647 | | | $ | 93,150 | | | $ | 242,599 | | | 462,396 | | | 100 | | Less allowance for credit losses | | | | | | | (6,629) | | | | Total, net of allowance for credit losses | | | | | | | $ | 455,767 | | | |

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 37 loans in the portfolio. During the quarter, the Company evaluated the commercial mortgage loan portfolio on both an individual and pooling basis to determine the allowance for credit losses and determined four loans were collateral dependent or likely to foreclose. The allowance for credit losses on these loans was determined using the practical expedient which was based on an estimate of fair value of the underlying collateral plus costs to sell the asset. The total principal balance of the four loans was $49 million and the allowance, determined using the practical expedient, was $3 million as of June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, one loan with an outstanding principal value of $2 million was removed from the evaluation as a result of foreclosure. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, two loans with an outstanding principal value of $5 million were removed from the evaluation as a result of foreclosure and were transferred into limited partnerships, held under the fair value option, in other long-term investments. As of June 30, 2025, there were two commercial mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure, with an outstanding par value of $41 million and outstanding interest due of $0. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses decreased by $1 million to $6.6 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 | Allowance for credit losses beginning balance | | $ | 6,731 | | | $ | 4,546 | | | $ | 7,644 | | | $ | 3,672 | | | | | | | | | | | Provision (reversal) for credit losses | | 110 | | | 1,280 | | | (138) | | | 2,154 | | Reduction in allowance due to dispositions | | (212) | | | — | | | (877) | | | — | | Allowance for credit losses ending balance | | $ | 6,629 | | | $ | 5,826 | | | $ | 6,629 | | | $ | 5,826 | |
