Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our expected financial and operational results, the related assumptions underlying our expected results and the quotations of management. These forward-looking statements are distinguished by use of words such as “will,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “designed,” “plan,” or “intend,” the negative of these terms and similar references to future periods. These views involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this quarterly report.
Although Enact Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved and it undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Factors or events that we cannot predict, including the following, may cause our actual results to differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements:
inability to continue to maintain the private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements (“PMIERs”) or any other restrictions imposed on us by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), government-sponsored enterprises collectively referred to as the “GSEs”;
deterioration in economic conditions or a decline in home prices, including a severe recession;
uncertainty around the time loans remain in our delinquent inventory including effects of forbearance programs and foreclosure timing;
uncertainty of our loss reserve estimates or inaccuracies in our models;
competition for our customers or the loss of a significant customer;
changes to the charters or practices of the GSEs, including actions or decisions to decrease or discontinue the use of mortgage insurance;
lenders or investors seeking alternatives to private mortgage insurance;
failure of our risk management or loss mitigation strategies;
risks related to emerging and changing technologies, including artificial intelligence;
fluctuations and continued increases in interest rates;
limited availability of capital and the need to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms;
limited availability of reinsurance;
adverse actions by rating agencies;
competition with government-owned enterprises and GSEs;
failure to manage the risk in our investment portfolio;
disruption in the servicing of mortgages covered by our insurance policies or poor servicer performance;
2


unanticipated claims arising under and risks associated with our delegated underwriting program or contract underwriting program;
inadequacy of the premiums we charge to compensate for the losses we incur;
decrease in the volume of Low-Down Payment Loan originations;
failure to protect our confidential customer information;
adverse changes in regulatory requirements;
inability to maintain sufficient regulatory capital;
risks relating to our continuing relationship with Genworth;
changes in tax laws;
litigation, regulatory investigations or other actions;
inability to attract and retain key employees;
failure or any compromise of the security of our computer systems, disaster recovery systems, business continuity plans and failures to safeguard or breaches of confidential information; and
occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or public health emergencies, including pandemics and disasters caused or exacerbated by climate change.
We provide additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2024. In addition, unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. We therefore caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements.

ENACT HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1)Nature of business, organization structure and basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, on a consolidated basis, the accounts of Enact Holdings, Inc. (“EHI,” together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) (formerly known as Genworth Mortgage Holdings, Inc.). EHI is a subsidiary of Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth”) and has been since EHI’s incorporation in Delaware in 2012. In September 2021, we completed a minority initial public offering (“IPO”) of 18.4% of EHI’s common stock.
We are engaged in the business of writing and assuming residential mortgage guaranty insurance. The insurance protects lenders and investors against certain losses resulting from nonpayment of loans secured by mortgages, deeds of trust, or other instruments constituting a lien on residential real estate. We offer private mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans (“primary mortgage insurance”). Our primary mortgage insurance enables borrowers to buy homes with a down payment of less than 20% of the home’s value. Primary mortgage insurance also facilitates the sale of these low down payment mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market, most of which are sold to government sponsored enterprises. We also selectively enter into insurance transactions with lenders and investors, under which we insure a portfolio of loans at or after origination.
We also perform fee-based contract underwriting services for mortgage lenders. The provision of underwriting services by mortgage insurers eliminates the duplicative lender and mortgage insurer underwriting activities and expedites the approval process.
We operate our business through our primary insurance subsidiary, Enact Mortgage Insurance Corporation, (“EMICO”), formerly known as Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, with operations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. EMICO is an approved insurer by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored enterprises, and we refer to them collectively as the “GSEs.”
We also offer mortgage-related insurance and reinsurance through our wholly owned Bermuda-based subsidiary, Enact Re Ltd. ("Enact Re"). We contributed $500 million into Enact Re during 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Enact Re reinsured EMICO’s new and existing insurance in-force under quota share reinsurance agreements and invests in new business opportunities for Enact, including assumption of excess of loss reinsurance relating to GSE risk share.
We operate our business in a single segment, which is how our chief operating decision maker (who is our Chief Executive Officer) reviews our financial performance and allocates resources. Our segment includes a run-off insurance block with reference properties in Mexico (“run-off business”), which is immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial

statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
(2)Accounting changes
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
We have not adopted new accounting pronouncements in 2024.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB released guidance under ASC 280 related to segment reporting disclosures. The update requires incremental disclosure around significant segment expenses, measures of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and the CODM’s use of these metrics. The guidance also requires segment disclosures for entities with a single reportable segment. This guidance is effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2025 using the retrospective method, with early adoption permitted, which we do not intend to elect. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance may have on our processes, controls and disclosures.
Income Tax Disclosure
In December 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to improve income tax disclosures. The guidance requires annual disclosure of specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation, separate disclosure of additional information related to reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and additional disclosures about income taxes paid, among other qualitative and quantitative disclosure improvements. This guidance is effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2025 using the prospective method, with early adoption permitted, which we do not intend to elect. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance may have on our processes, controls and disclosures.

We did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on securities in an unrealized loss position included in the table above. Based on a qualitative and quantitative review of the issuers of the securities, we believe the unrealized losses are largely due to changes in interest rates and recent market volatility and are not indicative of credit losses. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments.
For all securities in an unrealized loss position without an allowance for credit losses, we expect to recover the amortized cost based on our estimate of the amount and timing of cash flows to be collected. We do not intend to sell, nor do we expect that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovering our amortized cost.

(4)Fair value
Recurring fair value measurements
We hold fixed maturity securities and short-term investments, which are carried at fair value. The fair value of fixed maturity securities and short-term investments are estimated primarily based on information derived from third-party pricing services (“pricing services”), internal models and/or broker quotes, which use a market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach depending on the type of instrument and availability of information. In general, a market approach is utilized if there is readily available and relevant market activity for an individual security. In certain cases where market information is not available for a specific security but is available for similar securities, that security is valued using market information for similar securities, which is also a market approach. When market information is not available for a specific security (or similar securities) or is available but such information is less relevant or reliable, an income approach or a combination of a market and income approach is utilized. For securities with optionality, such as call or prepayment features (including asset-backed securities), an income or combination approach may be used. These valuation techniques may change from period to period, based on the relevance and availability of market data.
Further, while we consider the valuations provided by pricing services and broker quotes to be of high quality, management determines the fair value of our investment securities after considering all relevant and available information.
In general, we first obtain valuations from pricing services. If prices are unavailable for public securities, we obtain broker quotes. For all securities, excluding certain private fixed maturity securities, if neither a pricing service nor broker quotes valuation is available, we determine fair value using internal models. For certain private fixed maturity securities where we do not obtain valuations from pricing services, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value since transactions for similar securities are not readily observable and these securities are not typically valued by pricing services.
Given our understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures of pricing services, the securities valued by pricing services are typically classified as Level 2 unless we determine the valuation process for a security or group of securities utilizes significant unobservable inputs, which would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.
Broker quotes are typically based on an income approach given the lack of available market data. As the valuation typically includes significant unobservable inputs, we classify the securities where fair value is based on our consideration of broker quotes as Level 3 measurements.
For private fixed maturity securities, we utilize an income approach where we obtain public bond spreads and utilize those in an internal model to determine fair value. Other inputs to the model include rating and weighted-average life, as well as sector which is used to assign the spread. We then add an additional premium, which represents an unobservable input, to the public bond spread to adjust for the liquidity and other features of our private placements. We utilize the estimated market yield to discount the expected cash flows of the security to determine fair value. We utilize price caps for securities where the estimated market yield results in a valuation that may exceed the amount that would be received in a market transaction. When a security does not have an external rating, we assign the security an internal rating to determine the appropriate public bond spread that should be utilized in the valuation. While we generally consider the public bond spreads by sector and maturity to be observable inputs, we evaluate the similarities of our private placement with the public bonds, any price caps utilized, liquidity premiums applied, and whether external ratings are available for our private placements to determine whether the spreads utilized would be considered observable inputs. We classify private securities without an external

(Unaudited)
rating or public bond spread as Level 3. In general, a significant increase (decrease) in credit spreads would have resulted in a significant decrease (increase) in the fair value for our fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2024.
For remaining securities priced using internal models, we determine fair value using an income approach. We maximize the use of observable inputs but typically utilize significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. Accordingly, the valuations are typically classified as Level 3.
Our assessment of whether or not there were significant unobservable inputs related to fixed maturity securities was based on our observations obtained through the course of managing our investment portfolio, including interaction with other market participants, observations related to the availability and consistency of pricing and/or rating, and understanding of general market activity such as new issuance and the level of secondary market trading for a class of securities. Additionally, we considered data obtained from pricing services to determine whether our estimated values incorporate significant unobservable inputs that would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.
A summary of the inputs used for our fixed maturity securities and short-term investments based on the level in which instruments are classified is included below. We have combined certain classes of instruments together as the nature of the inputs is similar.

Third-party pricing services
In estimating the fair value of fixed maturity securities, approximately 89% of our portfolio was priced using third-party pricing services as of March 31, 2024. These pricing services utilize industry-standard valuation techniques that include market-based approaches, income-based approaches, a combination of market-based and income-based approaches or other proprietary, internally generated models as part of the valuation processes. These third-party pricing vendors maximize the use of publicly available data inputs to generate valuations for each asset class. Priority and type of inputs used may change frequently as certain inputs may be more direct drivers of valuation at the time of pricing. Examples of significant inputs incorporated by pricing services may include sector and issuer spreads, seasoning, capital structure, security optionality, collateral data, prepayment assumptions, default assumptions, delinquencies, debt covenants, benchmark yields, trade data, dealer quotes, credit ratings, maturity and weighted-average life. We conduct regular meetings with our pricing services for the purpose of understanding the methodologies, techniques and inputs used by the third-party pricing providers.

Internal models
A portion of our Level 2 U.S. corporate and non-U.S. corporate securities are valued using internal models. The fair value of these fixed maturity securities was $171.9 million and $79.4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. Internally modeled securities are primarily private fixed maturity securities where we use market observable inputs such as an interest rate yield curve, published credit spreads for similar securities based on the external ratings of the instrument and related industry sector of the issuer. Additionally, we may apply certain price caps and liquidity premiums in the valuation of private fixed maturity securities. Price caps and liquidity premiums are established using inputs from market participants.
Short-term investments:
The fair value of short-term investments classified as Level 2 is determined after considering prices obtained by pricing services.
Level 3 measurements
Broker quotes
A portion of our U.S. corporate and other asset-backed securities are valued using broker quotes. Broker quotes are obtained from third-party providers that have current market knowledge to provide a reasonable price for securities not routinely priced by pricing services. Brokers utilized for valuation of assets are reviewed annually. The fair value of our Level 3 fixed maturity securities priced by broker quotes was $17.0 million as of March 31, 2024.
Internal models
A portion of our U.S. corporate and non-U.S. corporate securities are valued using internal models. The primary inputs to the valuation of the bond population include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, duration, call provisions, issuer rating, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Certain private fixed maturity securities are valued using an internal model using market observable inputs such as the interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar securities, which includes significant unobservable inputs. Additionally, we may apply certain price caps and liquidity premiums in the valuation of private fixed maturity securities. Price caps are established using inputs from market participants. For structured securities, the primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, weighted-average coupon, weighted-average maturity, issuer rating, structure of the security, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, collateral type, current and forecasted loss severity, average delinquency rates, vintage of the loans, geographic region, debt service coverage ratios, payment priority with the tranche, benchmark yields and credit spreads. The fair value of our Level 3 fixed maturity securities priced using internal models was $317.9 million as of March 31, 2024.

Purchases, sales, and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period.
The amount presented for realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in net income for fixed maturity securities primarily represents amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on certain fixed maturity securities recorded within net investment income.

The liability for loss reserves represents our current best estimate; however, there may be future adjustments to this estimate and related assumptions. Such adjustments, reflecting any variety of new and adverse trends, could possibly be significant, and result in future increases to reserves by amounts that could be material to our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Losses incurred related to insured events of the current accident year relate to defaults that occurred in that year and represent the estimated ultimate amount of losses to be paid on such defaults. Losses incurred related to insured events of prior accident years represent the (favorable) or unfavorable development of reserves as a result of the actual rates at which delinquencies go to claim (“claim rates”) and claim amounts being different than those we estimated when originally establishing the reserves. Such estimates are based on our historical experience, which we believe is representative of expected future losses at the time of estimation. As a result of the extended period of time that may exist between the reporting of a delinquency and the claim payment, as well as changes in economic conditions and the real estate market, significant uncertainty and variability exist on amounts ultimately paid.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, losses and LAE incurred of $74 million related to insured events of the current accident year was primarily attributable to new delinquencies compared to $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
We also recorded favorable reserve adjustments primarily on prior accident year reserves of $54 million, which were driven primarily by delinquencies from early 2023 and prior, as recent uncertainty in the economic environment has not negatively impacted cure performance to the extent initially expected. During the first three months of 2023, we released $70 million of reserves primarily driven by cure performance of delinquencies from 2020 and 2021 related to COVID-19.
(6)Reinsurance
We reinsure a portion of our policy risks to third parties in order to reduce our ultimate losses, diversify our exposures and comply with regulatory requirements. We also assume certain policy risks written by other companies.

Reinsurance does not relieve us from our obligations to policyholders. In the event that the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations, we remain liable for the reinsured claims. We monitor both the financial condition of individual reinsurers and risk concentrations arising from similar geographic regions, activities and economic characteristics of reinsurers to lessen the risk of default by such reinsurers.

The difference between written premiums of $230.3 million and earned premiums of $240.7 million represents the decrease in unearned premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The difference between written premiums of $221.1 million and earned premiums of $235.1 million represents the decrease in unearned premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In both periods, the decrease in unearned premiums was primarily the result of premiums earned over time coupled with low originations of our single premium mortgage insurance product.
Excess-of-loss reinsurance
We engage in excess-of-loss (“XOL”) insurance transactions either through a panel of traditional reinsurance providers or through collateralized reinsurance with unaffiliated special purpose insurers (“Triangle Re Entities”). During the respective coverage periods of these agreements, EMICO retains the first layer of aggregate loss exposure on covered policies while the reinsurer provides the second layer of coverage, up to the defined reinsurance coverage amount. EMICO retains losses in excess of the respective reinsurance coverage amount.
The Triangle Re Entities fully collateralize their coverage by issuing insurance-linked notes (“ILNs”) to eligible capital market investors in unregistered private offerings. Traditional reinsurance providers collateralize a portion of their coverage by holding funds in trust. We believe that the risk transfer requirements for reinsurance accounting were met as these XOL insurance transactions assume significant insurance risk and a reasonable possibility of significant loss.
EMICO has rights to terminate the ILNs or traditional XOL reinsurance agreements upon the occurrence of certain events.

Quota Share Reinsurance
EMICO engages in quota share reinsurance agreements with panels of traditional third-party reinsurers. Under the agreements, we cede premiums earned on all eligible policies in exchange for reimbursement of ceded claims and claims expenses on covered policies, a specific ceding commission and profit commission determined based on ceded claims. EMICO has rights to terminate the reinsurance agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. Reinsurance recoverables are recorded in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

(7)Borrowings
On August 21, 2020, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% senior notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Notes mature on August 15, 2025, but at any time on or after February 15, 2025, we may redeem the notes in whole or in part at our option at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2025 Senior Notes contain customary events of default which, subject to certain notice and cure conditions, can result in the acceleration of the principal and accrued interest on the outstanding notes if we breach the terms of the indenture.

Revolving Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders that provides for a five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) in the initial aggregate principal amount of $200 million, including the ability for EHI to increase the commitments under the Facility, on an uncommitted basis, by an additional aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million. Borrowings under the Facility will accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at EHI’s option, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins are based on the ratings established by certain debt rating agencies for EHI’s senior unsecured debt. The Facility matures in June 2027, but under certain conditions EHI may need to repay any outstanding amounts and terminate the Facility earlier than the maturity date.
We may use borrowings under the Facility for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including the execution of dividends to our shareholders and capital contributions to our insurance subsidiaries. The Facility contains several covenants, including financial covenants relating to minimum net worth, capital and liquidity levels, maximum debt to capitalization level and PMIERs compliance. We are in compliance with all covenants of the Facility and the Facility has remained undrawn through March 31, 2024.
(8)Income taxes
We compute the provision for income taxes on a separate return with benefits-for-loss method. If during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had computed taxes using the separate return method, the provision for income taxes would have been unchanged.
(9)Related party transactions
We have various agreements with Genworth that provide for reimbursement to and from Genworth of certain administrative and operating expenses that include, but are not limited to, information technology services and administrative services (such as finance, human resources and employee benefit administration). These agreements provide for an allocation of corporate expenses to all Genworth businesses or subsidiaries. We incurred costs for these services of $2.8 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The investment portfolios of our insurance subsidiaries are managed by Genworth. Under the terms of the investment management agreement, we are charged a fee by Genworth. All fees paid to Genworth are charged to investment expense and are included in net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The total investment expenses paid to Genworth were $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Our employees participate in certain benefit plans sponsored by Genworth and certain share-based compensation plans that utilize shares of Genworth common stock and other incentive plans.
In prior periods, we provided certain information technology and administrative services (such as facilities and maintenance) to Genworth. We charged Genworth $0.1 million for these services for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Share Repurchase Program
On August 1, 2023, we announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program which allows for the repurchase of up to $100 million of EHI’s common stock. Under the program, share repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 trading plans. In conjunction with this authorization, we have entered into an agreement with Genworth Holdings, Inc. to repurchase its EHI shares on a pro rata basis as part of the program. The share repurchase

program is not expected to change Genworth’s ownership interest in Enact post completion. We expect the timing and amount of any future share repurchases will be opportunistic and will depend on a variety of factors, including EHI’s share price, capital availability, business and market conditions, regulatory requirements, and debt covenant restrictions. The program does not obligate EHI to acquire any amount of common stock, it may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice, and it does not have a specified expiration date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased 1,779,838 shares at an average price of $27.51 per share, excluding commissions. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company purchased 916,776 shares at an average price of $24.19 per share, excluding commissions. As of March 31, 2024, $36.9 million remained available under the share repurchase programs. All treasury stock has been retired as of March 31, 2024.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company purchased 412,678 shares at an average price of $30.07 per share through April 30, 2024. We also announced a new share repurchase authorization that allows for the purchase of an additional $250 million of EHI common stock.
Cash Dividends
We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2024 and $0.14 per share in the first quarter of 2023. Subsequent to quarter end, we announced an increase to our second quarter dividend to $0.185 per common share.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. Future results could differ significantly from the historical results presented in this section. References to “EHI,” “Enact,” “Enact Holdings,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” herein are, unless the context otherwise requires, to EHI on a consolidated basis.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results
There have been no material changes to the factors affecting our results, as compared to those disclosed in the Annual Report, other than the impact of items as discussed below in “—Trends and Conditions.”
Trends and Conditions
Macroeconomic environment. During the first quarter of 2024, the United States economy faced uncertainty due to continued inflationary pressure, the geopolitical environment and lingering concerns around a possible recession.
Inflationary pressures have remained a challenge, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting in March 2024 that the Consumer Price Index was 3.5% year-over-year. The Federal Reserve has taken an aggressive approach towards addressing inflation through interest rate increases and a reduction of its balance sheet. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times in 2023 following seven rate increases in 2022. Mortgage rates have remained elevated after reaching more than 20-year highs towards the end of 2023.
Mortgage origination activity remained slow during the first quarter of 2024 in response to elevated mortgage rates and sustained low housing supply. Over the past few years, housing affordability has deteriorated due to high interest rates and elevated home prices, only marginally offset by rising median family income according to the National Association of Realtors Housing Affordability Index. National housing prices rose modestly throughout 2023 but remained consistent into the first quarter of 2024, according to the FHFA Monthly Purchase-Only House Price Index.
The unemployment rate as of March 31, 2024, was 3.8%, up slightly from December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the number of unemployed Americans stands at approximately 6.4 million and the number of long-term unemployed Americans (over 26 weeks out of the workforce) was approximately 1.2 million.
Forbearance and loss mitigation programs. In response to COVID-19, borrowers were allowed extended forbearance options to temporarily suspend mortgage payments up to 18 months subject to certain limits. Extended forbearance timelines permitted through the CARES Act and GSE COVID-19 servicing-related policies were retired in 2023. Borrowers that meet general hardship and program guidelines continue to have access to standard forbearance policies as a loss mitigation option. Additionally, in March 2023, the GSEs announced new loss mitigation programs that allow six-month payment deferrals for borrowers facing financial hardship.
29


Although it is difficult to predict the future level of reported forbearance and how many of the policies in a forbearance plan that remain current on their monthly mortgage payment will go delinquent, servicer-reported forbearances have generally declined. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 1.1%, or 10,479, of our active primary policies were reported in a forbearance plan, of which approximately 26% were reported as delinquent.
Regulatory developments. Private mortgage insurance market penetration and eventual market size are affected in part by actions that impact housing or housing finance policy taken by the GSEs and the U.S. government, including but not limited to, the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and the FHFA. In the past, these actions have included announced changes, or potential changes, to underwriting standards, including changes to the GSEs’ automated underwriting systems, FHA pricing, GSE guaranty fees, loan limits and alternative products.
On October 24, 2022, the FHFA announced the validation and approval of both the FICO 10T credit score model and the VantageScore 4.0 credit score model for use by the GSEs as well as changing the requirement that lenders provide credit reports from all three nationwide consumer reporting agencies and instead only requiring credit reports from two of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies. The validation of the new credit scores requires lenders to deliver both credit scores for each loan sold to the GSEs. In February 2024, the FHFA announced preliminary implementation in the fourth quarter of 2025. Implementation will require system and process updates along with coordination across stakeholders of the industry.
Competitive environment. The U.S. private mortgage insurance industry is highly competitive. Our market share is influenced by the execution of our go to market strategy, including but not limited to, pricing competitiveness relative to our peers and our selective participation in forward commitment transactions. We continue to manage the quality of new business through pricing and our underwriting guidelines, which are modified from time to time when circumstances warrant. We see the market and underwriting conditions, including the pricing environment, as being within our risk-adjusted return appetite enabling us to write new business at attractive returns. Ultimately, we expect our new insurance written with its strong credit profile and attractive pricing to positively contribute to our future profitability and return on equity.
Our portfolio. New insurance written of $10.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024 decreased 20% compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to a smaller estimated mortgage insurance market and lower estimated market share. Our primary persistency rate was 85% during the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2023. The persistency rate remains higher than historical levels driven by a large percentage of our in-force policies with mortgage rates below current mortgage rates. Elevated persistency has continued to offset the decline in new insurance written, leading to an increase in primary insurance in-force (“IIF”) of approximately $0.7 billion since December 31, 2023.
Net earned premiums increased approximately 2% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily as a result of insurance in-force growth, partially offset by higher ceded premiums.
Loss experience. Our loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 8% as compared to (5)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Both periods were impacted by favorable reserve development. In the first quarter of 2024, we released $54 million of reserves primarily on delinquencies from early 2023 and prior, as recent uncertainty in the economic environment has not negatively impacted cure performance to the extent initially expected. This compares to the first quarter of 2023, where we recorded a $70 million reserve release primarily related to favorable cure performance on COVID-19 delinquencies from 2020 and 2021.
The severity of loss on loans that go to claim may be negatively impacted by the extended forbearance and foreclosure timelines, the associated elevated expenses and the higher loan amount of the recent new delinquencies. These negative influences on loss severity could be mitigated, in part, by embedded home price appreciation. For loans insured on or after October 1, 2014, our mortgage
30


insurance policies limit the number of months of unpaid interest and associated expenses that are included in the mortgage insurance claim amount to a maximum of 36 months.
New delinquencies in the first quarter of 2024 increased compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the aging of large, newer books of business. Current period primary delinquencies of 11,395 contributed $74 million of loss expense in the first quarter of 2024. We incurred $58 million of losses from 9,599 current period delinquencies in the first quarter of 2023. In determining the loss expense estimate, considerations were given to recent cure and claim experience and the prevailing and prospective economic conditions. Approximately 8% of our primary new delinquencies in the first quarter of 2024 were subject to a forbearance plan as compared to 17% in the first quarter of 2023. Due to the declining number of new delinquencies in forbearance, we no longer differentiate the expected claim rates applied to new delinquencies in forbearance versus those not in forbearance.
Capital requirements and ratings. As of March 31, 2024, EMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio under North Carolina law and enforced by the North Carolina Department of Insurance (“NCDOI”), EMICO’s domestic insurance regulator, was approximately 11.2:1, compared with a risk-to-capital ratio of 11.6:1 and 12.7:1 as of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively. EMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio remains below the NCDOI’s maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25:1. North Carolina’s calculation of risk-to-capital excludes the risk in-force for delinquent loans given the established loss reserves against all delinquencies. EMICO’s ongoing risk-to-capital ratio will depend principally on the magnitude of future losses incurred by EMICO, the effectiveness of ongoing loss mitigation activities, new business volume and profitability, the impact of quota share reinsurance, the amount of policy lapses and the amount of additional capital that is generated or distributed by the business.
Under PMIERs, we are subject to operational and financial requirements that private mortgage insurers must meet in order to remain eligible to insure loans that are purchased by the GSEs. As of March 31, 2024, we had estimated available assets of $4,853 million against $2,970 million net required assets under PMIERs compared to available assets of $5,006 million against $3,119 million net required assets as of December 31, 2023. The sufficiency ratio as of March 31, 2024, was 163%, or $1,883 million, above the PMIERs requirements, compared to 161%, or $1,887 million, above the PMIERs requirements as of December 31, 2023. PMIERs sufficiency for the quarter increased modestly as compared to December 31, 2023. Our PMIERs required assets as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, benefited from the application of a 0.30 multiplier applied to the risk-based required asset amount factor for certain non-performing loans as defined under PMIERs. The application of the 0.30 multiplier to all eligible delinquencies provided $48 million of benefit to our March 31, 2024 PMIERs required assets compared to $73 million of benefit as of December 31, 2023. These amounts are gross of any incremental reinsurance benefit from the elimination of the 0.30 multiplier. Our PMIERs required assets also benefited from a reinsurance credit of $1,722 million and $1,714 million related to third-party reinsurance as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
On January 8, 2024, S&P Global Ratings upgraded the long-term financial strength and issuer credit ratings of EMICO from BBB+ to A-.

Recent transactions. In November 2023, we contributed $250 million into Enact Re, our wholly owned Bermuda-based subsidiary. This contribution supported the increase to the ceding percentage of our previously announced affiliate quota share agreements from 7.5% to 12.5% during the first quarter of 2024, and a new quota share reinsurance agreement which cedes 12.5% of EMICO’s 2024 new insurance written. The contribution also supports new business opportunities, which primarily includes the continued execution of GSE credit risk transfer.
On January 3, 2024, we entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with a panel of third-party reinsurers. Under the agreement, EMICO will cede approximately 21% of a portion of its new insurance written from January 1, 2024, though December 31, 2024.
On January 30, 2024, we executed an excess-of-loss reinsurance transaction with a panel of reinsurers, which provides up to $255 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of current and expected new insurance written for the 2024 book year, effective January 1, 2024.
Capital returns. In March 2024, our primary mortgage insurance operating company, EMICO, completed a distribution to EHI that supports our ability to pay a quarterly dividend. We paid a dividend of $0.16 per common share during the first quarter of 2024. Future dividend payments are subject to quarterly review and approval by our Board of Directors and Genworth and will be targeted to be paid in the third month of each quarter.
On August 1, 2023, we announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program which allows for the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of EHI’s common stock. Under the program, share repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 trading plans. In conjunction with this authorization, we have entered into an agreement with Genworth Holdings, Inc. to repurchase its EHI shares on a pro rata basis as part of the program. The share repurchase program is not expected to materially change Genworth’s ownership interest in Enact post completion. We expect the timing and amount of any future share repurchases will be opportunistic and will depend on a variety of factors, including EHI’s share price, capital availability, business and market conditions, regulatory requirements, and debt covenant restrictions. The program does not obligate EHI to acquire any amount of common stock, it may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice, and it does not have a specified expiration date.
Subsequent to quarter end, on May, 1, 2024, we announced a share repurchase authorization of $250 million along with an increase to our quarterly dividend to $0.185 per common share.
Returning capital to shareholders, balanced with our growth and risk management priorities, remains a priority as we look to drive shareholder value through time. Future return of capital will be shaped by our capital prioritization framework: supporting our existing policyholders, growing our mortgage insurance business, funding attractive new business opportunities and returning capital to shareholders. Our total return of capital will also be based on our view of the prevailing and prospective macroeconomic conditions, regulatory landscape and business performance.

_______________
(1)We define “NM” as not meaningful for increases or decreases greater than 300%.
(2)Loss ratio is calculated by dividing losses incurred by net earned premiums.
(3)Expense ratio is calculated by dividing acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, plus amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles by net earned premiums.
(4)Net earned premium rate is calculated by dividing earned premium by average primary IIF.
Revenues
Premiums increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of insurance in-force growth, partially offset by higher ceded premiums. The net earned premium rate was 0.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, relatively consistent with 0.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to higher yields as a result of rising interest rates coupled with higher average invested assets.
Net investment losses in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 were driven by realized losses on the sale of fixed maturity securities. The increase in first quarter of 2024 relates to our yield optimization strategy
33


that allows us to reinvest sales proceeds and recoup higher investment income over the next couple of years.
Losses and expenses
Losses incurred during the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 were both impacted by prior year development. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a reserve release of $54 million primarily related to delinquencies from early 2023 and prior, as recent uncertainty in the economic environment has not negatively impacted cure performance to the extent initially expected. In the first quarter of 2023, we recorded a $70 million reserve release primarily driven by cure performance of delinquencies from 2020 and 2021 related to COVID-19. Current period primary delinquencies of 11,395 contributed $74 million of loss expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024. This compares to $58 million of loss expense from 9,599 primary delinquencies in the first quarter of 2023.

_______________
(1)Excludes run-off business.
Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by the impact of our cost reduction initiatives, including the impact from our previously announced renegotiated shared services agreement with Genworth.
The expense ratio decreased in the current quarter due to a decline in expenses and premium growth.
Interest expense primarily relates to our 2025 Senior Notes. For additional details see Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Provision for income taxes
The effective tax rate was 21.8% and 21.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use a non-U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”) financial measure entitled “adjusted operating income.” This non-GAAP financial measure aligns with the way our business performance is evaluated by both management and our Board of Directors. This measure has been established in order to increase transparency for the purposes of evaluating our core operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with our peers. Although “adjusted operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the reasons discussed above we believe this measure aids in understanding the underlying performance of our operations. Our senior management, including our chief operating decision maker (who is our Chief Executive Officer), use “adjusted operating income” as the primary measure to evaluate the fundamental financial performance of our business and to allocate resources.
34


“Adjusted operating income” is defined as U.S. GAAP net income excluding the effects of (i) net investment gains (losses) and (ii) restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items.
(i)Net investment gains (losses) — The recognition of realized investment gains or losses can vary significantly across periods as the activity is highly discretionary based on the timing of individual securities sales due to such factors as market opportunities or exposure management. Trends in the profitability of our fundamental operating activities can be more clearly identified without the fluctuations of these realized gains and losses. We do not view them to be indicative of our fundamental operating activities. Therefore, these items are excluded from our calculation of adjusted operating income.
(ii)Restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from adjusted operating income if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.
In reporting non-GAAP measures in the future, we may make other adjustments for expenses and gains we do not consider reflective of core operating performance in a particular period. We may disclose other non-GAAP operating measures if we believe that such a presentation would be helpful for investors to evaluate our operating condition by including additional information.
Adjusted operating income is not a measure of total profitability, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Our definition of adjusted operating income may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies, including our peers.
Adjustments to reconcile net income to adjusted operating income assume a 21% tax rate (unless otherwise indicated).

Adjusted operating income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to March 31, 2023, primarily due to the larger reserve release in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher revenues and lower operating expenses during the first quarter of 2024.

New insurance written (“NIW”)
NIW for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased 20% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a smaller estimated mortgage insurance market and lower estimated market share. We manage the quality of new business through pricing and our underwriting guidelines, which we modify from time to time as circumstances warrant.

Insurance in-force (“IIF”) and Risk in-force (“RIF”)
IIF increased as a result of NIW. Higher interest rates and the low refinance market led to lower lapse and cancellations during the first quarter of 2024 driving continued elevated persistency. The primary persistency rate was 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. RIF increased primarily as a result of higher IIF.

Delinquent loans and claims
Our delinquency management process begins with notification by the loan servicer of a delinquency on an insured loan. “Delinquency” is defined in our master policies as the borrower’s failure to pay when due an amount equal to the scheduled monthly mortgage payment under the terms of the mortgage. Generally, our master policies require an insured to notify us of a delinquency if the borrower fails to make two consecutive monthly mortgage payments prior to the due date of the next mortgage payment. We generally consider a loan to be delinquent and establish required reserves after the insured notifies us that the borrower has failed to make two scheduled mortgage payments. Borrowers default for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to a reduction of income, unemployment, divorce, illness/death, inability to manage credit, falling home prices and interest rate levels. Borrowers may cure delinquencies by making all of the delinquent loan payments, agreeing to a loan modification, or by selling the property in full satisfaction of all amounts due under the mortgage. In most cases, delinquencies that are not cured result in a claim under our policy.

The total reserves as a percentage of RIF as of March 31, 2024, remained relatively consistent compared to December 31, 2023, as long-term delinquencies with higher reserves as a result of COVID-19 have cured. The number of loans that are delinquent for 12 months or more has decreased to be more in line with pre-COVID-19 levels.
Primary insurance delinquency rates differ from region to region in the United States at any one time depending upon economic conditions and cyclical growth patterns. Delinquency rates are shown by region based upon the location of the underlying property, rather than the location of the lender.

The number of delinquencies often does not correlate directly with the number of claims received because delinquencies may cure. The rate at which delinquencies cure is influenced by borrowers’ financial resources and circumstances and regional economic differences. Whether a delinquency leads to a claim correlates highly with the borrower’s equity at the time of delinquency, as it influences the borrower’s willingness to continue to make payments, the borrower’s or the insured’s ability to sell the home for an amount sufficient to satisfy all amounts due under the mortgage loan and the borrower’s financial ability to continue making payments. When we receive notice of a delinquency, we use our proprietary model to determine whether a delinquent loan is a candidate for a modification. When our model identifies such a candidate, our loan workout specialists prioritize cases for loss mitigation based upon the likelihood that the loan will result in a claim. Loss mitigation actions include loan modification,
45


extension of credit to bring a loan current, foreclosure forbearance, pre-foreclosure sale and deed-in-lieu. These loss mitigation efforts often are an effective way to reduce our claim exposure and ultimate payouts.

Loss reserves in policy years 2008 and prior are outsized compared to their representation of RIF. The size of these policy years at origination, particularly 2005 through 2008, combined with the significant decline in home prices led to significant losses in policy years prior to 2009. Although uncertainty remains with respect to the ultimate losses we will experience on these policy years, they have become a smaller percentage of our total mortgage insurance portfolio. The concentration of loss reserves has shifted to newer book years in line with changes in RIF. As of March 31, 2024, our 2017 and newer policy years represented approximately 95% of our primary RIF and 78% of our total direct primary case reserves.
Investment Portfolio
Our investment portfolio is affected by factors described below, each of which in turn may be affected by current macroeconomic conditions as noted above in “—Trends and Conditions.” The investment portfolios of our insurance subsidiaries are directed by the Enact Investment Committee, a management-level committee, with Genworth serving as the investment manager. The investment portfolio of EHI is directed by a separate management-level EHI Investment Committee with a third-party investment manager. These parties, with oversight from our Board of Directors and our senior management team, are responsible for the execution of our investment strategy. Our investment portfolio is an important component of our consolidated financial results and represents our primary source of claims paying resources. Our investment portfolio primarily consists of a diverse mix of highly rated fixed maturity securities and is designed to achieve the following objectives:
Meet policyholder obligations through maintenance of sufficient liquidity;
Preserve capital;
Generate investment income;
Maximize statutory capital; and
Increase shareholder value, among other objectives.
To achieve our portfolio objectives, our investment strategy focuses primarily on:
Our business outlook, including current and expected future investment conditions;
Investments selection based on fundamental, research-driven strategies;
Diversification across a mix of fixed income, low-volatility investments while actively pursuing strategies to enhance yield;
Regular evaluation and optimization of our asset class mix;
Continuous monitoring of investment quality, duration, and liquidity;
Regulatory capital requirements; and
Restriction of investments correlated to the residential mortgage market.

We manage credit risk by analyzing issuers, transaction structures and any associated collateral. We also manage credit risk through country, industry, sector and issuer diversification and prudent asset allocation practices.
We primarily mitigate interest rate risk by employing a buy and hold investment philosophy that seeks to match fixed income maturities with expected liability cash flows in modestly adverse economic scenarios.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows for the periods indicated:
Three months ended

(Amounts in thousands)
20242023
Net cash provided by (used in): 
Operating activities$187,296 $119,339

Financing activities(75,181)(44,956)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$(1,353)$107,846 
Our most significant source of operating cash flows is from premiums received from our insurance policies, while our most significant uses of operating cash flows are generally for claims paid on our insured policies and our operating expenses. Net cash from operating activities increased largely due to higher net investment income and lower expenses along with timing of tax payments. Cash flows from operations were also impacted by changes in reserves and unearned premiums, net investment losses and stock-based compensation expense.
Investing activities are primarily related to purchases, sales and maturities of our investment portfolio. Net cash used by investing activities increased as a result of purchases of fixed maturity securities outpacing maturities and sales in the current year due to the deployment of operating cash flows.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our cash flows from financing activities included dividends paid of $25.5 million and share repurchases of $49.7 million. The amount and timing of future dividends is discussed within “—Trends and Conditions” as well as below. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our cash flows from financing activities included dividends paid of $22.8 million and share repurchases of $22.2 million.
Capital Resources and Financing Activities
We issued our 2025 Senior Notes in 2020 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2025 Senior Notes mature on August 15, 2025. We may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to February 15, 2025, at our option, by paying a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. At any time on or after February 15, 2025, we may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2025 Senior Notes contain customary events of default, which subject to certain notice and cure conditions, can result in the acceleration of the principal and accrued interest on the outstanding 2025 Senior Notes if we breach the terms of the indenture.
On June 30, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders that provides for a five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) in the initial aggregate principal amount of $200 million. The Facility matures in June 2027, but under certain conditions EHI may need to repay any outstanding amounts and terminate the Facility earlier than the maturity date. We may use borrowings under the Facility for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including the execution of dividends to our shareholders and capital contributions to our insurance subsidiaries. The Facility contains several covenants, including financial covenants relating to minimum net worth, capital and liquidity levels, maximum debt to capitalization level and PMIERs compliance. We are in compliance with all covenants of the Facility and the Facility has remained undrawn through March 31, 2024.
We continually evaluate opportunities based upon market conditions to further increase our financial flexibility including through raising additional capital, restructuring or refinancing some or all of our
49


outstanding debt, which matures in 2025, or pursuing other options such as reinsurance or credit risk transfer transactions. There can be no guarantee that any such opportunities will be available on favorable terms or at all.
Restrictions on the Payment of Dividends
The ability of our regulated insurance operating subsidiaries to pay dividends and distributions to us is restricted by certain provisions of North Carolina insurance laws. Our insurance subsidiaries may pay dividends only from unassigned surplus; payments made from sources other than unassigned surplus, such as paid-in and contributed surplus, are categorized as distributions. Notice of all dividends must be submitted to the Commissioner of the NCDOI (the “Commissioner”) within 5 business days after declaration of the dividend, and at least 30 days before payment thereof. No dividend may be paid until 30 days after the Commissioner has received notice of the declaration thereof and (i) has not within that period disapproved the payment or (ii) has approved the payment within the 30-day period. Any distribution, regardless of amount, requires that same 30-day notice to the Commissioner, but also requires the Commissioner’s affirmative approval before being paid. Based on our estimated statutory results and in accordance with applicable dividend restrictions, our insurance subsidiaries have the capacity to pay dividends from unassigned surplus of $65 million as of March 31, 2024, with 30-day advance notice to the Commissioner of the intent to pay. In addition to dividends and distributions, alternative mechanisms, such as share repurchases, subject to any requisite regulatory approvals, may be utilized from time to time to upstream surplus.
In addition, we review multiple other considerations in parallel to determine a prospective dividend strategy for our regulated insurance operating subsidiaries. Given the regulatory focus on the reasonableness of an insurer’s surplus in relation to its outstanding liabilities and the adequacy of its surplus relative to its financial needs for any dividend, our insurance subsidiaries consider the minimum amount of policyholder surplus after giving effect to any contemplated future dividends. Regulatory minimum policyholder surplus is not codified in North Carolina law and limitations may vary based on prevailing business conditions including, but not limited to, the prevailing and future macroeconomic conditions. We estimate regulators would require a minimum policyholder surplus of approximately $300 million to meet their threshold standard. We are subject to statutory accounting requirements that establish a contingency reserve of at least 50% of net earned premiums annually for ten years, after which time it is released into policyholder surplus. While we will begin 10-year contingency reserve releases during 2024, minimum policyholder surplus could be a limitation on the future dividends of our regulated operating subsidiaries.
Another consideration in the development of the dividend strategies for our regulated insurance operating subsidiaries is our expected level of compliance with PMIERs. Under PMIERs, EMICO is subject to operational and financial requirements that approved insurers must meet in order to remain eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs.
Our regulated insurance operating subsidiaries are also subject to statutory “risk-to-capital” (“RTC”) requirements that affect the dividend strategies of our regulated operating subsidiaries. EMICO’s domiciliary regulator, the NCDOI, requires the maintenance of a statutory RTC ratio not to exceed 25:1. See “—Risk-to-Capital Ratio” for additional RTC trend analysis.
We consider potential future dividends compared to the prior year statutory net income in the evaluation of dividend strategies for our regulated operating subsidiaries. We also consider the dividend payout ratio, or the ratio of potential future dividends compared to the estimated U.S. GAAP net income, in the evaluation of our dividend strategies. In either case, we do not have prescribed target or maximum thresholds, but we do evaluate the reasonableness of a potential dividend relative to the actual or estimated income generated in the proceeding or preceding calendar year after giving consideration to prevailing business conditions including, but not limited to the prevailing and future macroeconomic conditions. In addition, the dividend strategies of our regulated operating subsidiaries are made in consultation with Genworth.
50


In March 2024, EMICO completed a distribution of approximately $270 million that will primarily be used to support our ability to return capital to shareholders and bolster financial flexibility. We intend to continue to use future EMICO distributions for these purposes.
The credit agreement entered into in connection with the Facility contains customary restrictions on EHI’s ability to pay cash dividends. Under the credit agreement, EHI is permitted to make cash distributions (1) so long as no Default or Event of Default (as each are defined in the credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing and EHI is in pro forma compliance with its financial covenants as described below, at the time of and after giving effect to such payment, (2) within 60 days of declaration of any cash dividend so long as the payment was permitted under the credit agreement at the time of such declaration and (3) other customary exceptions as more fully set forth in the credit agreement.
The credit agreement requires EHI to maintain the following financial covenants: a minimum consolidated net worth equal to the sum of (i) 72.5% of EHI’s consolidated net worth as of June 30, 2022 (“the Closing Date”), (ii) 50% of EHI’s positive consolidated net income for each fiscal quarter after the Closing Date and (iii) 50% of any increase in EHI’s consolidated net worth after the Closing Date resulting from equity issuances or capital contributions; in respect of EMICO, a minimum total adjusted capital amount equal to 72.5% of EMICO’s total adjusted capital as of the Closing Date; a maximum debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 0.35 to 1.00; a minimum liquidity level of $25,000,000; and compliance with all applicable financial requirements under the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements published by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association. For purposes of determining EHI’s compliance with the foregoing financial covenants, the consolidated net worth metric, total adjusted capital metric, debt-to-capitalization ratio and liquidity metric (including, in each case, any component thereof) are each calculated as set forth in the credit agreement.
In addition to the restrictions described above, all dividends from EHI are subject to Genworth consent and EHI Board of Directors approval.
Risk-to-Capital Ratio
We compute our RTC ratio on a separate company statutory basis, as well as for our combined insurance operations. The RTC ratio is net RIF divided by policyholders’ surplus plus statutory contingency reserve. Our net RIF represents RIF, net of reinsurance ceded, and excludes risk on policies that are currently delinquent and for which loss reserves have been established. Statutory capital consists primarily of statutory policyholders’ surplus (which increases as a result of statutory net income and decreases as a result of statutory net loss and dividends paid), plus the statutory contingency reserve. The statutory contingency reserve is reported as a liability on the statutory balance sheet.
Certain states have insurance laws or regulations that require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital (including the statutory contingency reserve) relative to its level of RIF in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. While formulations of minimum capital vary in certain states, the most common measure applied allows for a maximum permitted RTC ratio of 25:1.

Liquidity
As of March 31, 2024, we maintained liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents of $614 million compared to $616 million as of December 31, 2023, and we also held significant levels of investment-grade fixed maturity securities and short-term investments that can be monetized should our cash and cash equivalents be insufficient to meet our obligations.
On June 30, 2022, we entered into a five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders in the initial aggregate principal amount of $200 million. The Facility matures in June 2027, but under certain conditions EHI may need to repay any outstanding amounts and terminate the Facility earlier than the maturity date. The Facility may be used for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including the execution of dividends to our shareholders and capital contributions to our insurance subsidiaries. The Facility has remained undrawn through March 31, 2024.
The principal sources of liquidity in our business currently include insurance premiums, net investment income and cash flows from investment sales and maturities. We believe that the operating cash flows generated by our mortgage insurance subsidiary will provide the funds necessary to satisfy our claim payments, operating expenses and taxes in both the short term and long term. However, our subsidiaries are subject to regulatory and other capital restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends. Our most significant need for liquidity in the long term is the maturity of our 2025 Senior Notes. We currently have no material financing commitments, such as lines of credit or guarantees, that are expected to affect our liquidity over the next five years, other than the 2025 Senior Notes and the Facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We own and manage a large investment portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. Investment income is one of our material sources of revenue and the investment portfolio represents the primary resource supporting operational and claim payments. The assets within the investment portfolio are exposed to the same factors that affect overall financial market performance. While our investment portfolio is exposed to factors affecting markets worldwide, it is most sensitive to fluctuations in the drivers of United States markets.
We manage market risk via our defined investment policy guidelines implemented by our investment managers with oversight from our Board of Directors and our senior management. Important drivers of our market risk exposure that we monitor and manage include but are not limited to:
Changes to the level of interest rates. Increasing interest rates may reduce the value of certain fixed-rate bonds held in the investment portfolio. Higher rates may cause variable-rate assets to generate additional income. Decreasing rates will have the reverse impact. Significant changes in interest rates can also affect persistency and claim rates that may require that the investment portfolio be restructured to better align it with future liabilities and claim payments. Such restructuring may cause investments to be liquidated when market conditions are adverse.
Changes to the term structure of interest rates. Rising or falling rates typically change by different amounts along the yield curve. These changes may have unforeseen impacts on the value of certain assets.
Market volatility/changes in the real or perceived credit quality of investments. Deterioration in the quality of investments, identified through changes to our own or third-party (e.g., rating agency) assessments, will reduce the value and potentially the liquidity of investments.
Concentration risk. If the investment portfolio is highly concentrated in one asset, or in multiple assets whose values are highly correlated, the value of the total portfolio may be greatly affected by the change in value of just one asset or a group of highly correlated assets.
Prepayment risk. Bonds may have call provisions that permit debtors to repay prior to maturity when it is to their advantage. This typically occurs when rates fall below the interest rate of the debt.
Market risk is measured for all investment assets at the individual security level. Market risks that are not fully captured by the quantitative analysis and material market risk changes that occur from the last reporting period to the current are discussed within “—Trends and conditions” and “—Investment Portfolio” in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
As of March 31, 2024, the effective duration of our investments available-for-sale was 3.7 years, which means that an instantaneous parallel shift (movement up or down) in the yield curve of 100 basis points would result in a change of 3.7% in fair value of our investments available-for-sale.

(1) In August 2023, we announced a new share repurchase authorization which allows for the purchase of an additional $100 million of EHI common stock. The authorization has no expiration date.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company purchased 412,678 shares at an average price of $30.07 through April 30, 2024. On May 1, 2024, we announced a share repurchase authorization which allows for the purchase an additional $250 million of EHI common stock. The authorization has no expiration date.
Item 5. Other Information
On May 1, 2024, we announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program which allows for the repurchase of up to an additional $250 million of EHI’s common stock. Under the program, share repurchases may be made at the Company’s discretion from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 trading plans. In conjunction with this authorization, we have entered into an agreement with Genworth Holdings, Inc. to repurchase its EHI shares on a pro rata basis as part of the program. We expect the timing and amount of any future share repurchases will be opportunistic and will depend on a variety of factors, including EHI’s share price, capital availability, business and market conditions, regulatory requirements, and debt covenant restrictions. The program does not obligate EHI to acquire any amount
56


of common stock, it may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice, and it does not have a specified expiration date.
Trading Plans
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, no director or Section 16 officer adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements” (in each case, as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K).

WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of up to $250 million (the “Repurchase Program”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Repurchase Program, the Company intends to repurchase shares of its Common Stock from stockholders other than Genworth (“Market Repurchases”), from time to time and subject to market and other conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Genworth are entering into this Agreement to effect repurchases of Genworth’s Shares in proportion to the Market Repurchases;
WHEREAS, the relationship and transactions contemplated hereby were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors who are not affiliated with Genworth;

Section 1.02    Settlement Notice. Two Business Days prior to each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver a notice to Genworth by email (each, a “Settlement Notice”) specifying its calculation of the Repurchase Shares and the Repurchase Price Per Share.
Section 1.03    Reporting and Limitation on Market Repurchases at End of Quarter. The Company shall notify Genworth within one Business Day of any Market Repurchases made during a Settlement Period, including the number of shares of Common Stock purchased, the
