Essent Group Ltd. (NYSE: ESNT) today reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $167.9 million or $1.58 per diluted share, compared to $175.4 million or $1.64 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. For the full year 2024, net income was $729.4 million or $6.85 per diluted share, compared to $696.4 million or $6.50 per diluted share for 2023.

Essent also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per common share. The dividend is payable on March 24, 2025, to shareholders of record on March 14, 2025.

“We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results, which benefited from favorable credit performance given the resilience in consumers and housing,” said Mark A. Casale, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe Essent is well positioned to continue producing strong returns and growing book value per share. The increased dividend and new share repurchase authorization demonstrate our confidence in the stability of Essent’s cash flows and our commitment to a balanced approach to capital management moving forward.”

Financial Highlights:

  • New insurance written for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $12.2 billion, compared to $12.5 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and $8.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Insurance in force as of December 31, 2024 was $243.6 billion, compared to $243.0 billion as of September 30, 2024 and $239.1 billion as of December 31, 2023.
  • Net investment income for the full year 2024 was $222.1 million, up 19% from 2023.
  • U.S. mortgage insurance provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses was $37.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which included $8 million associated with 2,119 of defaults we identified as related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
  • During the first quarter of 2025, Essent entered into two forward quota share transactions with highly rated third-party reinsurers. These quota share agreements cover 25% of the risk of all eligible policies written by Essent Guaranty, Inc. in calendar years 2025 and 2026.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2024 and January of 2025, Essent repurchased over 2 million common shares for approximately $118 million.

(1) Combined statutory capital equals the sum of statutory capital of Essent Guaranty, Inc. plus Essent Guaranty of PA, Inc., prior to December 31, 2024, after eliminating the impact of intercompany transactions. Statutory capital is computed based on accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual.

(2) Net risk in force represents total risk in force, net of reinsurance ceded and net of exposures on policies for which loss reserves have been established.

(3) The risk-to-capital ratio is calculated as the ratio of net risk in force to statutory capital.

(4) The combined risk-to-capital ratio equals the sum of the net risk in force of Essent Guaranty, Inc. and Essent Guaranty of PA, Inc. divided by the combined statutory capital.

(5) Data is based on our interpretation of the PMIERs as of the dates indicated.

(6) PMIERs sufficiency ratio is calculated by dividing Available Assets by Minimum Required Assets.

(7) Essent Guaranty of PA, Inc. provided reinsurance to Essent Guaranty, Inc. on certain policies originated prior to April 1, 2019. Effective December 31, 2024, Essent Guaranty of PA commuted its outstanding risk in force back to Essent Guaranty and surrendered its insurance license. Combined statutory capital and combined net risk in force as of December 31, 2024 are for Essent Guaranty only.

We believe that loss, expense and combined ratios are important measures of our financial performance. As a result of the July 1, 2023 acquisitions of Essent Title Insurance (formerly Agents National Title) and Boston National Title (collectively "Title"), the consolidated loss, expense and combined ratios ("Consolidated Ratios") for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 lack comparability with historical periods. In order to provide investors with more comparative information to historical periods, Essent has prepared the table below to reconcile the Consolidated Ratios to Consolidated Ratios Excluding Title, as shown below. Consolidated Ratios Excluding Title are financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and are referred to as non-GAAP measures. Consolidated Ratios Excluding Title are measures used to monitor our results and should not be viewed as segment results in accordance with ASC 280 or as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the loss, expense and combined Consolidated Ratios Excluding Title to the most comparable GAAP amount for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with Regulation G:
