Insights

Enact Holdings' Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance and strategic execution. The company reported GAAP Net Income of $184 million ($1.16 per diluted share) and Adjusted Operating Income of $201 million ($1.27 per diluted share), both showing significant improvements over Q1 2024 and Q2 2023.

Key highlights include:

  • Record Primary insurance in-force of $266 billion, up 3% year-over-year
  • Strong Return on Equity of 15.4% and Adjusted Operating Return on Equity of 16.9%
  • PMIERs Sufficiency of 169% or $2,057 million
  • New insurance written (NIW) of $14 billion, up 29% from Q1 2024

The company's financial strength is evident in its ability to generate record insurance-in-force while maintaining prudent risk management. The negative loss ratio of -7% is particularly noteworthy, driven by a $77 million reserve release reflecting favorable cure performance and lowered claim rate expectations.

Enact's capital management strategy appears solid, with a new $250 million share repurchase program and an increased quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share. The company's anticipated 2024 capital return of $300-$350 million signals confidence in its financial position and commitment to shareholder value.

Overall, Enact's Q2 results paint a picture of a company executing well in a dynamic market, with strong fundamentals and a focus on sustainable growth.

Enact's Q2 2024 results offer valuable insights into the current state of the U.S. housing and mortgage markets. The increase in New Insurance Written (NIW) to $14 billion, up 29% from Q1, suggests a seasonal uptick in home buying activity. However, the 10% year-over-year decrease in NIW indicates that the market is still facing challenges, likely due to elevated interest rates and affordability issues.

The composition of NIW is telling: 97% monthly premium policies and 97% purchase originations. This high percentage of purchase originations reflects the current low refinance environment due to higher interest rates. The slight decrease in persistency to 83% aligns with historical seasonality but remains relatively high, indicating that many homeowners are staying put due to favorable existing mortgage rates.

An interesting data point is that approximately 4% of mortgages in Enact's portfolio had rates at least 50 basis points above the prevailing market rate. This suggests a potential for refinance activity if rates decrease significantly, but also indicates that the majority of Enact's portfolio is composed of mortgages with competitive rates.

The lowering of claim rate expectations from 10% to 9% is a positive indicator for the housing market, suggesting improved stability and homeowner financial health. However, the increase in new delinquencies compared to Q2 2023 warrants monitoring as it could signal emerging stress in some segments of the market.

Overall, Enact's results paint a picture of a housing market that is showing resilience and seasonal strength, but still navigating challenges related to affordability and interest rates.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial and Operating Highlights

  • Net income was $184 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared with $161 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024 and $168 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating income was $201 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared with $166 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024 and $178 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023.
  • New insurance written (NIW) was $14 billion, up 29% from $11 billion in the first quarter of 2024 primarily driven by higher estimated MI market size and down 10% from the second quarter of 2023. NIW for the current quarter was comprised of 97% monthly premium policies and 97% purchase originations.
  • Primary insurance in-force was $266 billion, up from $264 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and up 3% from $258 billion in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Persistency was 83%, down from 85% in the first quarter of 2024 and modestly down from 84% in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential decline in persistency is aligned to historical seasonality as we transitioned to the spring selling season. Approximately 4% of the mortgages in our portfolio had rates at least 50 basis points above the prevailing market rate.
  • Net premiums earned were $245 million, up 2% from $241 million in the first quarter of 2024 and up 3% from $239 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net premiums increased sequentially and year over year driven by insurance in-force growth and our growth in premiums from attractive adjacencies consisting primarily of Enact Re’s GSE CRT participation partially offset by higher ceded premiums.
  • Losses incurred for the second quarter of 2024 were $(17) million and the loss ratio was (7)%, compared to $20 million and 8%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024 and $(4) million and (2)%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023.The sequential and year-over-year decrease in losses and the loss ratio were primarily driven by a reserve release of $77 million reflecting favorable cure performance and the lowering of our claim rate expectations from 10% to 9%. We lowered our claim rate expectations on both existing delinquencies and new delinquencies as a result of sustained favorable cure performance and our current market expectations. The $77 million reserve release compares to a reserve release of $54 million and $63 million in the first quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2023, respectively. In addition to the lower claim rate on new delinquencies, the current quarter losses were lower sequentially due to lower new delinquencies. The decrease year-over-year was partially offset by higher new delinquencies from their normal loss development pattern.
  • Operating expenses in the current quarter were $56 million and the expense ratio was 23%. These metrics were impacted by approximately $3 million and one percentage point, respectively, of one-time restructuring costs driven by a voluntary separation program. This compared to $53 million and 22%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024 and $55 million and 23%, respectively in the second quarter of 2023. The sequential and year-over-year increase in expenses was primarily driven by these restructuring costs.
  • Net investment income was $60 million, up from $57 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $51 million in the second quarter of 2023, driven by the continuation of elevated interest rates and higher average invested assets.
  • Net investment loss in the quarter was $(8) million, a decrease of $1 million sequentially and a decrease of $5 million versus the same period in the prior year, as we identified assets that upon selling allow us to recoup losses through higher net investment income.
  • Annualized return on equity for the second quarter of 2024 was 15.4% and annualized adjusted operating return on equity was 16.9%. This compares to first quarter 2024 results of 13.8% and 14.2%, respectively, and to second quarter 2023 results of 15.5% and 16.4%, respectively.

Capital and Liquidity

  • Enact Holdings, Inc. held $216 million of cash and cash equivalents plus $310 million of invested assets as of June 30, 2024. Combined cash and invested assets decreased $90 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to share buybacks, common dividend and debt redemption and issuance costs.
  • We executed an excess of loss reinsurance transaction with a panel of highly rated reinsurers, which provides approximately $90 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of existing mortgage insurance written from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, effective June 1, 2024.
  • We exercised clean up calls on two CRT transactions covering the 2014-2019 books and the 2020 book representing 15% of our risk in-force. The transactions provided nominal loss coverage and PMIERs credit while the associated loans have high embedded equity which reduce the probability of loss.
  • PMIERs sufficiency was 169% and $2,057 million above the PMIERs requirements, compared to 163% and $1,883 million above the PMIERs requirements in the first quarter of 2024.
  • We issued $750 million Senior Notes due 2029 with an interest rate of 6.25%, payable semi-annually beginning November 28, 2024. We utilized the net proceeds of the issuance to redeem our 6.5% Senior Notes due August 2025 in accordance with the terms of the related indenture, which extends our maturities and will result in $2 million in annual interest expense savings. The transaction resulted in approximately $11 million of debt extinguishment costs consisting of approximately $8 million in debt redemption costs, as well as approximately $3 million in accelerated deferred issuance costs in the quarter, both of which are excluded from our adjusted operating income.
  • As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $250 million of common stock along with an increase to our quarterly dividend from $0.16 to $0.185 per share.

Recent Events

  • We repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares at an average price of $30.43 for a total of approximately $49 million in the quarter. Additionally, through July 26th, we purchased 0.4 million shares at an average price of $31.01 for a total of $13 million. During the quarter we completed our $100 million share repurchase authorization announced August 1, 2023 and as of July 26, 2024, there was approximately $226 million remaining on our $250 million repurchase authorization.
  • We announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per common share, payable on September 9, 2024, to shareholders of record on August 28, 2024.
  • We now anticipate a total 2024 capital return of between $300 and $350 million, the final amount and form of capital returned to shareholders will ultimately depend on business performance, market conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Safe Harbor Statement
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our expected financial and operational results, the related assumptions underlying our expected results, guidance concerning the future return of capital and the quotations of management. These forward-looking statements are distinguished by use of words such as “will,” “may,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “designed,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “could,” “should,” 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 press release. Factors or events that we cannot predict, including risks related to an economic downturn or a recession in the United States and in other countries around the world; changes in political, business, regulatory, and economic conditions; changes in or to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”), whether through Federal legislation, restructurings or a shift in business practices; failure to continue to meet the mortgage insurer eligibility requirements of the GSEs; competition for customers; lenders or investors seeking alternatives to private mortgage insurance; an increase in the number of loans insured through Federal government mortgage insurance programs, including those offered by the Federal Housing Administration; and other factors described in the risk factors contained in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC, may cause our actual results to differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements.

GAAP/Non-GAAP Disclosure Discussion
This communication includes the non-GAAP financial measures entitled “adjusted operating income (loss)”, “adjusted operating income (loss) per share," and “adjusted operating return on equity." Adjusted operating income (loss) per share is derived from adjusted operating income (loss). The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources on the basis of adjusted operating income (loss). Enact Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) defines adjusted operating income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding the after-tax effects of net investment gains (losses), restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items, and gain (loss) on the extinguishment of debt. The Company excludes net investment gains (losses), gains (losses) on the extinguishment of debt and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because the Company does not consider them to be related to the operating performance of the Company and other activities. 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. In addition, adjusted operating income (loss) per share is derived from adjusted operating income (loss) divided by shares outstanding. Adjusted operating return on equity is calculated as annualized adjusted operating income for the period indicated divided by the average of current period and prior periods’ ending total stockholders’ equity.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company believes that adjusted operating income (loss) and measures that are derived from or incorporate adjusted operating income (loss), including adjusted operating income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis and adjusted operating return on equity, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses adjusted operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income (loss) available to Enact Holdings, Inc.’s common stockholders or net income (loss) available to Enact Holdings, Inc.’s common stockholders per share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) available to Enact Holdings, Inc.’s common stockholders to adjusted operating income (loss) assume a 21% tax rate.

The tables at the end of this press release provide a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss) and U.S. GAAP return on equity to adjusted operating return on equity for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
