Business profile

Updated

Essent Group serves the housing finance industry through mortgage insurance, reinsurance, title insurance and settlement services. It sells to mortgage lenders and other participants in home financing, serving borrowers and investors as well. The company was organized in Bermuda in 2008. Its holding company and reinsurance business are domiciled in Bermuda, while its mortgage insurance and title operations are headquartered in Radnor, Pennsylvania. Mark A. Casale is chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Private mortgage insurance protects lenders and mortgage investors against part of their loss if a borrower defaults. It can help a lender sell a low-down-payment loan to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored enterprises that buy mortgages and guarantee mortgage-backed securities. Essent Guaranty provides this coverage on U.S. residential first-lien loans and also offers contract underwriting, which involves checking mortgage applications against customers’ lending guidelines.

From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO Mark Casale said mortgage rates were supporting policy persistency, but affordability was constraining originations and keeping portfolio growth on pause.
  • Casale reiterated Essent’s expectation for approximately $320 million in 2026 property and casualty reinsurance written premiums, with roughly half earned this year.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
