The Board increased the quarterly cash dividend to $0.35 per common share, payable March 23, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 13, 2026. Management highlighted returning nearly $700 million to shareholders in 2025 through dividends and repurchases, retiring nearly 10% of outstanding shares.
Mortgage insurance new insurance written was $11.8 billion in the fourth quarter, and insurance in force was $248.4 billion at year-end 2025. Return on average equity for 2025 was 12.1%, supported by total revenues of $1.26 billion and strong capital and reinsurance programs.
Positive
- Robust profitability and returns: 2025 net income of $690.0 million and a 12.1% return on average equity reflect solid earnings and efficient capital use.
- Shareholder returns and capital actions: Nearly $700 million was returned to shareholders in 2025 and 9.9 million shares were repurchased, retiring nearly 10% of outstanding shares while also increasing the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Strong profitability, sizable buybacks, and a higher dividend support a constructive view.
Essent Group delivered full-year 2025 net income of $690.0 million on revenues of $1.26 billion, with return on average equity of 12.1%. Quarterly diluted EPS of $1.60 was modestly above the prior year’s $1.58 despite slightly lower net income, helped by a reduced share count.
Capital management is a major theme. The company repurchased 9.9 million shares for $576 million in 2025 and states that it retired nearly 10% of its outstanding shares while returning nearly $700 million in total to shareholders. The Board also raised the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share, signaling confidence in ongoing cash generation.
Operationally, mortgage insurance in force ended 2025 at $248.4 billion, roughly flat with recent quarters, while loss experience remained well controlled. Reinsurance programs, including insurance-linked notes, excess-of-loss, and quota share structures, continue to reduce required capital and diversify risk. Future filings may provide additional detail on how new Lloyd’s-related reinsurance activity contributes to segment results after it becomes effective in Q1 2026.

| Annual Segment Results (Unaudited) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following tables set forth comparative annual financial information for our two reportable business segments, Mortgage Insurance and Reinsurance, our Corporate & Other category and our consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (unaudited). Our Corporate & Other category is used to reconcile our reportable business segments to consolidated results and includes business activities associated with our title insurance operations, income and losses from holding company treasury operations, and general corporate operating expenses not attributable to our operating segments. Prior to December 31, 2025, we disclosed one reportable segment, Mortgage Insurance, which was comprised of "U.S. mortgage insurance" and "GSE and other mortgage risk share." Our mortgage insurance business and GSE and other mortgage risk share business each represented operating segments that were aggregated and disclosed as one reportable segment based on their shared economic characteristics and the similarities between the two operating segments. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Essent Re entered the Lloyd's of London market to reinsure certain property and casualty risks beginning in the first quarter of 2026. Considering the expansion of business and types of risks reinsured at Essent Re, our Chief Operating Decision Maker began to assess the performance of all third-party reinsurance as an operating segment as of December 31, 2025. To reflect this change, the GSE and other mortgage risk share operating segment is no longer aggregated with U.S mortgage insurance and all third-party reinsurance is now disclosed as a separate reportable segment: Reinsurance. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the new segment presentation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
