Future Policy Benefits: The liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment long duration life and health products comprises approximately 93% of the total liability for future policy benefits. The liability is determined each reporting period based on the net level premium method. This method requires the liability for future policy benefits 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. Net level premiums reflect a recomputed net premium ratio using actual experience since the issue date or January 1, 2021, the Transition Date(1), and expected future experience. The liability is accrued as premium revenue is recognized and adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience. Long-duration insurance contracts issued by the Company are grouped into cohorts based on the contract issue year, distribution channel, legal entity, and product type.

Net policy obligations amounted to 53% of Health premium increased 9% in 2024 2025 as compared to 51% in both 2023 and 2022. 2024. This increase was primarily due attributable to significant sales growth in our Medicare supplement plans as a result of what we believe is a consumer shift from Medicare Advantage plans to Medicare supplement plans during the assumptions review current year. Premium growth in 2025 was also the result of lapses Medicare supplement rate increases that went into effect in 2025 in addition to an increase in agent count and morbidity resulting in a remeasurement loss of $10.5 million compared to a remeasurement gain of $5.2 million and $10.7 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. productivity on other health business. Refer to Note 6—Policy Liabilities for further discussion of the Company's annual assumptions review.

We use institutional funding agreements originating from FHLB, which from time to time serve as a significant source of our liquidity. Additionally, we use agreements with the FHLB to meet near-term liquidity needs. If the FHLB were to change its definition of eligible collateral, we could be required to post additional amounts of collateral in the form of cash or other assets. Additionally, if our creditworthiness falls below the FHLB’s requirements or if legislative or other political actions cause changes to the FHLB’s mandate or to the eligibility of life insurance companies to be members of the FHLB system, we could be required to find other sources to replace this funding, which may prove difficult and increase our liquidity risk.

As previously noted, a component of insurance underwriting margin is policy obligations, which includes for each reporting period the change in the liability for future policy benefits (LFPB). The LFPB is determined each reporting period based on the net level premium method. Net level premiums reflect a recomputed net premium ratio using actual experience since the issue date, and expected future experience based on future cash-flow assumptions. See Note 6—Policy Liabilities for additional information. The policy liability is accrued as premium revenue is recognized and adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience in the form of remeasurement gains and losses during the period. If actual mortality, morbidity, and lapse experience equals our expected assumptions used in the development of our liability for future policy benefits, there would be no impact to our financial results. Actual experience can have a material impact on financial results to the extent it significantly deviates from the expected assumptions which are used to develop our estimates of the liability for future policy benefits and amortization of the deferred acquisition cost asset (DAC). For example, deviations in actual versus expected lapses in the early policy years tend to have a larger impact on DAC amortization than LFPB change in reserves. Conversely, deviations in actual versus expected lapses in the later policy years typically have a larger impact on LFPB change in reserves than DAC amortization. This is due to the release of DAC and LFPB where DAC capitalization in earlier years is amortizing over time and the LFPB is increasing over time as the policy stays inforce. Disaggregated rollforwards of our present value of expected future net premiums and our expected future policy benefits are presented within Note 6—Policy Liabilities, which include disclosure of remeasurement gain (loss) for the effect of actual variances from expected experience and the changes in assumptions (mortality, morbidity, and lapses) on future cash flows.

The Company performed an annual review of its assumptions in the third quarter of 2024 that resulted in favorable changes to its mortality and lapse assumptions on life and unfavorable changes to morbidity assumptions on health. In our life segment mortality assumptions generally decreased across most channels in line with recent experience consistent with decreasing levels of excess deaths. Lapse rate assumptions in the life segment were slightly increased across all channels. For the health segment, morbidity assumptions were increased, causing higher future policy benefit reserves. The assumption review process of the life and health segments resulted in a $46.3 million net remeasurement gain for the period ended December 31, 2024 as compared to a $3.2 million net remeasurement gain for the period ended December 31, 2023 and a $36.5 million net remeasurement loss for the period ended December 31, 2022.

Excluding the impact of assumption changes, the Company's results for actual variances from expected experience for both life and health produced a $57.4 million net remeasurement gain for the period ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a $38.0 million net remeasurement gain for the period ended December 31, 2023 and a $4.6 million net remeasurement gain for the period ended December 31, 2022.

Approximately 90% of our premiums are collected monthly; however, other premium payment options such as quarterly and annual are offered by the Company and may be elected by the policyholder. The majority of premiums are paid by way of automatic draft or electronic payment from our policyholders and to a lesser extent from other payment methods such as check, credit card, and worksite payroll deduction.

Excluding our Direct to Consumer Division, we sell our policies primarily through independently contracted agents (“agents”) who earn commissions in accordance with contracts they have with the respective insurance subsidiary of the Company. These contract arrangements with agents cover commission structures and rates, contract periods, credit terms for settlement of agent advance accounts, vesting rights in future renewal commissions upon termination of contracts and responsibility for certain premium collections. Contract terms with agents vary, but generally commissions are earned over the life of the policy as premiums are paid. Commissions are calculated on a policy-by-policy basis and vary by product type and policy year. Commission rates are higher for the first-year premium when a policy is issued and are generally reduced for policies that remain in effect for renewal periods (e.g., commission rates may reduce in years 2-10 and again in year 11 and after). After a certain period (typically 10 years), commission rates become constant over the remaining life of the policy and are considered level commissions.
