Current report

NIW increased 6% and 2%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. NIW increased year-on-year primarily due to growth in our customer franchise and market presence tied to the increased penetration of existing customer accounts and new customer activations. Primary IIF increased 5% at September 30, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024, primarily due to the NIW generated between such measurement dates, partially offset by the run-off of in-force policies.

Previous wording

Primary IIF increased 5% at June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024, primarily due to the NIW generated between such measurement dates, partially offset by the run-off of in-force policies. Our persistency rate was 84.1% at June 30, 2025 and 85.4% at June 30, 2024. Our persistency rate remains historically high due to a continued slowdown in the pace of mortgage refinancing activity tied to the prevailing interest and mortgage rate environment.

Current wording

Our persistency rate was 83.9% at September 30, 2025 and 85.5% at September 30, 2024. Our persistency rate remains historically high due to a continued slowdown in the pace of mortgage refinancing activity tied to the prevailing interest and mortgage rate environment.

Net premiums written increased 8% and 9%, respectively, and net premiums earned increased 6% and 7%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by growth in our monthly IIF and monthly pay premium receipts, partially offset by an increase in the total premiums ceded under our reinsurance treaties.

Current wording

Net premiums written increased 8% during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The growth in net premiums written and earned in each respective period was primarily driven by growth in our monthly IIF and monthly pay premium receipts.

Previous wording

Reserves are established by estimating the number of loans in default that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as claim frequency, and the amount of the claim payment expected to be paid on each such loan in default, which is referred to as claim severity. Claim frequency and severity estimates are established based on historical observed experience regarding certain loan factors, such as age of the default, cure rates, size of the loan and estimated change in property value. Reserves are released the month in which a loan in default is brought current by the borrower, which is referred to as a cure. Adjustments to reserve estimates are reflected in the period in which the adjustment is made. Reserves are also ceded to reinsurers under the QSR Transactions, ILN Transactions and XOL Transactions as applicable under each treaty. We have not yet ceded reserves under any of the ILN Transactions or XOL Transactions as incurred claims and claim expenses on each respective reference pool remain within our retained coverage layer for each transaction.

Previous wording

(1) Count includes 16 and 36 claims settled without payment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 19 and 35 claims settled without payment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

We paid 93 and 188 claims during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 59 and 101 claims during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The number of claims paid in each period was modest relative to the size of our insured portfolio and we generally observe that the borrowers of the loans we insure are well-situated with strong credit profiles, stable 30-year fixed rate mortgages, manageable debt service obligations and significant appreciated equity in their homes. An increase in the value of the homes collateralizing the mortgages we insure provides defaulted borrowers with alternative paths and incentives to cure their loan prior to the development of a claim.

Current wording

We paid 93 and 281 claims during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 67 and 168 claims during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The number of claims paid in each period was modest relative to the size of our insured portfolio and we generally observe that the borrowers of the loans we insure are well-situated with strong credit profiles, stable 30-year fixed rate mortgages, manageable debt service obligations and significant appreciated equity in their homes.

Previous wording

Our claims severity was 82% and 75% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 54% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in claims severity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to a greater proportion of claims related to loans originated in recent years. These loans generally have less accumulated equity than earlier vintages. Lower equity in these loans reduces the likelihood of a third-party sale of a foreclosed property, resulting in higher claims payments and contributing to the overall increase in claim severity. Our claims severity for each period was below long-term industry norms.

Current wording

Our claims severity was 73% and 74% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 64% and 58% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in claims severity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to a greater proportion of claims related to loans originated in recent years. These loans generally have less accumulated equity than loans from earlier vintages, which typically results in higher claims payments and an increase in claims severity. Our claims severity for each period was below long-term industry norms.

Previous wording

Average reserve per default decreased from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025, due to changes in observed and forecasted housing market conditions and macroeconomic factors between the measurement dates, and an increase in the proportion of defaults that trace to storm-related activity year-on-year. We generally observe that storm-related defaults cure at higher rates than other similarly situated loans in default (in non-disaster zones) and scale our reserves accordingly. Average reserves per default were further impacted by other changes in the composition of our default inventory as measured by the size, vintage and current estimated LTV of defaulted loans.

Current wording

Average reserve per default increased from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025, due to changes in the composition of our default inventory as measured by the size, vintage and current estimated LTV of defaulted loans between the measurement dates.

Current wording

Available assets were $3.4 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $3.0 billion at September 30, 2024.

Previous wording

Insurance claims and claim expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in the number of newly defaulted loans that emerged in the respective periods and the establishment of initial reserves against such loans, as well as an increase in the average case reserves held against previously defaulted loans that aged in their delinquency status, partially offset by the release of a portion of the reserves we established for anticipated claims payments in prior periods in connection with cure activity and the ongoing analysis of recent loss development trends.

Previous wording

NMIC’s principal sources of liquidity include (i) premium receipts on its insured portfolio and new business production, (ii) interest income on its investment portfolio and principal repayments on maturities therein, and (iii) existing cash and cash equivalent holdings. At June 30, 2025, NMIC had $2.8 billion of cash and investments, including $36.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. NMIC's principal liquidity demands include funds for the payment of (i) reimbursable holding company expenses, (ii) premiums ceded under our reinsurance transactions (iii) claims payments, and (iv) taxes as due or otherwise deferred through the purchase of tax and loss bonds. NMIC's cash inflow is generally significantly in excess of its cash outflow in any given period. During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2025, NMIC generated $378 million of cash flow from operations and received an additional $226 million of cash flow on the maturity and redemption of securities held in its investment portfolio. NMIC is not a party to any contracts (derivative or otherwise) that require it to post an increasing amount of collateral to any counterparty and NMIC’s principal liquidity demands (other than claims payments) generally develop along a scheduled path (i.e., are of a contractually predetermined amount and due at a contractually predetermined date). NMIC’s only use of cash with the potential to develop along an unscheduled path is claims payments. Given the relatively small size of our current population of defaulted policies, the generally extended duration of the default-to-foreclosure-to-claim cycle, and the potential availability of forbearance, foreclosure moratorium and other borrower assistance programs (which serve to further extend the default-to-foreclosure-to-claim cycle timeline), we do not expect NMIC to use a meaningful amount of cash to settle claims in the near-term.
