2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Net Income Decreased Net income $690.0M, down from $729.4M in 2024 due to significantly higher loss provisions.
Mortgage Insurance Portfolio Grows Insurance in Force (IIF) reached $248.4B as of December 31, 2025, increasing from $243.6B end 2024.
Loss Provision Increased Sharply Provision for losses $149.3M in 2025, substantially higher than $81.2M recorded in the prior year.
Share Repurchase Activity High Repurchased 2.05M shares for $125.0M during Q4 2025 under active board authorizations.

Risk Factors

Competition Pressures Pricing Intense industry competition risks lower premiums and looser underwriting, negatively impacting Net Insurance Written (NIW).
Customer Concentration Risk Top ten customers drove 59.3% of 2025 NIW; loss of a significant customer critically impacts revenues.
Portfolio Maturing Increases Claims Portfolio aging suggests incurred losses and claims will increase as more policies enter peak default frequency years.
Regulatory Uncertainty Persists Ongoing GSE reform uncertainty and Basel III Endgame proposals could adversely affect business structure and demand.

Outlook

Reinsurance Segment Expansion Essent Re entered Lloyd's of London market in Q4 2025; third-party reinsurance now a separate segment in 2026.
Technology Investment Continues Ongoing upgrades focus on web-based ordering systems and enhanced underwriting productivity tools for efficiency.
Capital Allocation Focus Board approved additional $1.0B share repurchase capacity through 2027 to support capital management objectives.
Investment Strategy Stable Portfolio strategy prioritizes capital preservation, liquidity, and limiting correlation to residential mortgage market assets.
