(With Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Thereon)
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Protective Life Insurance Company and Policy Owners of United Investors Universal Life Variable Account:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise United Investors Universal Life Variable Account (the Separate Account), as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Separate Account as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agents; when replies were not received, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Protective Life Insurance Company Separate Accounts since 2019.

UNITED INVESTORS UNIVERSAL LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
| 1. | ORGANIZATION |
The United Investors Universal Life Variable Account (the "Separate Account"), a segregated unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, was established by United Investors Life Insurance Company, and exists in accordance with the regulations of the Alabama Department of Insurance. United Investors Life Insurance Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Torchmark Corporation and was acquired by Protective Life Insurance Company (the "Company"). Protective Life Insurance Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation ("PLC"). PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life International Holding, LLC, a godo kaisha organized under the laws of Japan.
Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company's other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account's assets applicable to the variable life policies (the "Policies") is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
The Separate Account is a funding vehicle for individual variable life insurance Policies; it consists of a number of Subaccounts (the "Subaccounts"), also commonly referred to as investment divisions or funds, each of which is treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. The Separate Account's value at any time is allocated among Policy owners based on the number and value of their units representing their interest in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account; all of the investible assets of the Separate Account are invested in the corresponding mutual funds.
The Separate Account has identified the Chief Product Officer - Protection Division as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Separate Account is comprised of multiple Subaccounts, each of which constitutes an operating segment. The CODM uses significant performance measures of the Subaccounts, such as the total return ratio, investment income ratio, and expense ratio to make operational decisions for the Separate Account. Segment assets are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total assets, and significant segment expenses are listed on the Statements of Operations.
Policy owners may allocate some or all of the applicable net payments or transfer some or all of the Policy value to the Company's guaranteed account, which is not included in these financial statements. The assets of the Company support its insurance and annuity obligations and are subject to the Company's general liabilities from business operations.
Policy owners' net payments are allocated to the Subaccounts in accordance with Policy owner instructions and are recorded as Policy owners' net payments in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Such amounts are used to provide account funds to pay Policy values under the Policies. New Policies are no longer being sold under the product in the Separate Account, but owners of existing Policies may make additional deposits.
The following is the variable life insurance product funded by the Separate Account:

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Separate Account.
Investment valuation
Investments are made and measured in shares and are presented net of management fees and other operating expenses incurred by the Subaccounts. The investments are valued at the net asset values of the mutual funds, which value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions with the mutual funds are recognized on the trade date.
The Separate Account classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Separate Account's investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The Separate Account determines the fair values of certain financial assets based on quoted market prices. All of the investments in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and consist of open-ended mutual funds. Participants may, without restriction, transact at the daily net asset value ("NAV") of the mutual funds. The NAV represents the daily per share value based on the fair value of the underlying portfolio of investments of the respective Subaccounts.
Receivables and payables from (to) the Policies and the fund manager
Receivables and payables from (to) the Policies and the fund manager include trading activity initiated at the Policy level from the last business day of the year that has not yet been settled with the fund manager.
Receivable from dividends
Receivable from dividends include dividends declared by the fund managers that have not yet been reinvested in accordance with the Subaccounts' designated reinvestment dates.
Receivables and payables from (to) the Company
Receivables and payables from (to) the Company include accruals for the variance between investments and reserves applicable to the Subaccount.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions
Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in additional shares of the mutual funds. Ordinary dividend and capital gain distributions are recognized within net investment income and net realized gains, respectively, as recorded in the financial statements of the Subaccounts.
Net realized gains and losses
Net realized gains and losses on investments include gains and losses on redemptions of the Subaccounts' shares (determined for each product using a weighted average cost basis) and capital gain distributions from the mutual funds.
13
Net transfers (to) from the Company and/or Subaccounts
Net transfers (to) from the Company and Subaccounts include transfers between the Subaccounts of the Separate Account as well as transfers between the Separate Account and the Company.
Federal income taxes
The results of the operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company. Under the provisions of the Policies, the Company has the right to charge the Separate Account for federal income tax attributable to the Separate Account. No charge has been made against the Separate Account for such tax during the year ended December 31, 2025. Management will periodically review the application of this policy in the event of changes in tax law. Accordingly, a change may be made in future years to consider charges for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Policies.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial statements.
Risks and uncertainties
The Separate Account provides for various investment options in any combination of Subaccounts, each of which bears exposure to the market, credit, and liquidity risks of the underlying portfolio in which it invests. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect investment balances, the amounts reported in the statements of assets and liabilities, of operations and of changes in net assets. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes of the underlying Subaccounts identified in note 1, Organization.

| The Company sold a variable life product that is funded by the Separate Account. This product has unique combinations of features and expenses that are charged against the Policy owner's account.

The following tables were developed by determining which product offered by the Company and funded by the Separate Account has the highest and lowest expense ratios. The summaries may not reflect or directly equate to the minimum and maximum Policy expenses offered by the Company, as Policy owners may not have selected all available and applicable Policy options for or during the periods presented. | |

(a) These ratios represent the dividends received by the Subaccount, excluding distributions of capital gains, divided by the daily average net assets. These ratios exclude expenses, such as mortality and expense risk fees, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying mutual fund in which the Subaccounts invest.
(b) These ratios represent the annualized Policy expenses of the respective Subaccounts of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk and admin fees, for each period indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to Policy owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying mutual fund are excluded.
(c) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, include changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. These amounts are not annualized and represent each Subaccount's total return for the periods during which the Subaccount held investment balances. The total return does not include any expenses addressed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.
