Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026

• Accordingly, no assurances can be made that we will continue meeting the LIP exception criteria during the years remaining in our five-year exemption period.
• We will evaluate any impact that a pilot program may have on our mortgage insurance portfolio and our future results of operations once the terms of such pilot program are finalized.
• Because premiums are paid at origination on single premium policies, assuming all other factors remain constant, if loans are prepaid earlier than expected, our profitability on these loans is likely to increase and, if loans are repaid slower than expected, our profitability on these loans is likely to decrease.
• By contrast, if monthly premium loans are repaid earlier than anticipated, our premium earned with respect to those loans and therefore our profitability declines.
• For entities accounted for under the equity method that follow industry-specific guidance for investment companies, our proportionate share of earnings or losses includes changes in the fair value of the underlying assets of these entities.
• The provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses reflects the current expense that is recorded within a particular period to reflect actual and estimated loss payments that we believe will ultimately be made as a result of insured loans that are in default.
• Because of tighter underwriting standards generally in the mortgage lending industry and terms set forth in our master policy, we expect that our level of rescission activity will be lower than rescission activity seen in the mortgage insurance industry for vintages originated prior to the financial crisis; and
• As a result, based on historical industry performance, we expect the number of defaults and claims we experience, as well as our provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE"), to increase as our portfolio seasons.
• As such, we expect incurred losses and claims to increase as a greater amount of this book of insurance is entering its anticipated period of highest claim frequency.
• Based on prior industry experience, we expected the ultimate number of hurricane-related defaults that result in claims would be less than the default-to-claim experience of non-hurricane-related defaults.
• The impact on our reserves in future periods will be dependent upon the amount of delinquent notices received from loan servicers, the performance of defaults and our expectations for the amount of ultimate losses on these delinquencies.
• The Company selects initial expected loss and loss adjustment expense ratios based on information provided by ceding companies, actuaries and its underwriters, supplemented by industry data where appropriate.
