(1) Reinsurance provided by unaffiliated special purpose insurers through the issuance of mortgage insurance-linked notes ("ILNs").

(2) Reinsurance provided by panels of reinsurers.

(3) Represents the reduction in Essent Guaranty, Inc.'s Minimum Required Assets based on our interpretation of the PMIERs.

(4) Reinsurance coverage on new insurance written from January 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.

(5) Reinsurance coverage on new insurance written from August 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

(6) Reinsurance coverage on new insurance written from April 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021.

(7) Reinsurance coverage on 20% of all eligible policies written from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022.

(8) Reinsurance coverage on new insurance written from October 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022.

(9) The original and remaining first layer retention is associated with reinsurance provided by a panel of reinsurers. Amounts reported in prior periods reflected the retention associated with an ILN that is no longer outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

(10) The total remaining first layer retention differs from the sum of the individual reinsurance transactions as a result of overlapping coverage between certain transactions.

(11) The total ceded premium differs from the sum of the individual reinsurance transactions as a result of ILN's that ceded premiums during 2023 but are no longer outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

(12) Reinsurance coverage on 40% of eligible single premium policies and 20% of all other eligible policies written from September 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020.

(1) Combined statutory capital equals the sum of statutory capital of Essent Guaranty, Inc. plus Essent Guaranty of PA, Inc., after eliminating the impact of intercompany transactions. Statutory capital is computed based on accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual.

(2) Net risk in force represents total risk in force, net of reinsurance ceded and net of exposures on policies for which loss reserves have been established.

(3) The risk-to-capital ratio is calculated as the ratio of net risk in force to statutory capital.

(4) The combined risk-to-capital ratio equals the sum of the net risk in force of Essent Guaranty, Inc. and Essent Guaranty of PA, Inc. divided by the combined statutory capital.

(5) Data is based on our interpretation of the PMIERs as of the dates indicated.

(6) PMIERs sufficiency ratio is calculated by dividing Available Assets by Minimum Required Assets.
