About these numbers
- Globe Life's revenue is the total revenue figure in its filings. For financial companies it can combine interest, fees, premiums and other income, so it isn't directly comparable with revenue at companies that sell products.
What we left out
- Operating cash flow, total debt and cash are left out: for this kind of financial company they mostly reflect lending, trading or investing flows and say little about the business, and they aren't comparable with other companies'.
- Revenue by segment, product or region: the company's XBRL data has no breakdown that adds up to total revenue, so none is shown. The 10-K has its own segment note.

Each row is that company’s latest fiscal year from its own 10-K, using its own revenue and net income lines. Fiscal years end in different months, and line definitions differ (banks, insurers and oil companies count revenue differently), so this is a rough side-by-side, not a like-for-like comparison.
