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.

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.
