Essent Group Ltd. is asking shareholders to elect three Class III directors, ratify PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor, and approve a non-binding say-on-pay resolution at its fully virtual 2026 annual meeting on May 6, 2026.
The company highlights strong 2025 performance, earning $690.0 million, or $6.90 per diluted share, with a 12.1% return on average equity and GAAP equity of $5.8 billion. Its PMIERs sufficiency ratio was 169%, with 98% of mortgage insurance policies reinsured, and it wrote $46.6 billion of new insurance, ending 2025 with $248.4 billion of insurance in force and a 2.50% default rate.
Essent returned about $700 million to shareholders in 2025, including repurchasing 9.9 million shares, nearly 10% of year-end 2024 shares, and later raised its quarterly dividend by 13% to $0.35 per share. The proxy also emphasizes extensive governance, ESG oversight, and pay-for-performance compensation practices, with most CEO and senior executive pay tied to performance-based incentives and robust share ownership and clawback policies.
