2025-02-28 18:57
Housing Market and Mortgage Insurance - The U.S. housing market saw a significant decline in mortgage originations from 2022 to 2024, primarily due to rising interest rates, low housing supply, and affordability issues, leading to lower new insurance written at Enact Holdings [255]. - Rising interest rates could increase defaults, as borrowers may struggle to qualify for replacement loans, and could negatively affect home prices, increasing the risk of loss for Enact Holdings [255]. - A decline in home values could lead to higher frequency and severity of defaults, impacting the company's financial condition and results of operations [258]. - Changes to the charters or practices of GSEs could adversely affect the company's business and financial condition, particularly regarding mortgage insurance [284]. - The FHFA's Enterprise Capital Framework could lead to increased guarantee pricing by GSEs, negatively impacting the private mortgage insurance market [285]. - The company may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by GSEs if it fails to meet PMIERs requirements [292]. - Changes in regulations affecting the mortgage insurance markets could significantly reduce demand for the company's services [299]. - Enact Holdings' largest customer accounted for 20% of its total new insurance written and 11% of its total revenues in 2024 [312]. - The top five customers generated 34% of Enact Holdings' new insurance written in 2024 [312]. - Regulatory changes, such as the proposed Basel III Endgame rule, could decrease the demand for mortgage insurance if adopted as proposed [303]. - The Dodd-Frank Act requires originators to retain a specified percentage of credit risk on securitized mortgages, which could adversely affect future demand for mortgage insurance if definitions change unfavorably [302]. - A decrease in high loan-to-value mortgage originations could lead to a decline in Enact Holdings' revenue, as demand for mortgage insurance would be reduced [333]. - Alternatives to private mortgage insurance may reduce the amount of insurance written by Enact Holdings, adversely impacting revenue [338]. - Delegated underwriting programs represent approximately 70% of new insurance written, which could expose Enact Holdings to unanticipated claims if guidelines are not followed [341]. Regulatory Environment - The company is heavily reliant on obtaining significant premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions for the sustainability of its legacy U.S. life insurance subsidiaries [263]. - Regulatory approval is required for premium increases in long-term care insurance, which can be a lengthy process and may not always be granted [265]. - Future premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions may not be realized if regulatory approvals are not obtained, potentially leading to increased reserves and adverse impacts on earnings [266]. - The company is subject to extensive regulation, which may limit profitability and growth, and changes in regulation could have a material adverse effect on its business [268]. - An adverse change in the regulatory requirements on U.S. life insurance subsidiaries could materially impact the company's business and financial condition [281]. - The company faces challenges in its principal U.S. life insurance subsidiaries, particularly those relying heavily on in-force rate actions for earnings and capital [281]. - The RBC ratio of each of the company's U.S. life insurance subsidiaries exceeded the level that would require corrective action as of December 31, 2024 [281]. - The company may experience variability in statutory results and a decline in RBC ratios due to the time lag in realizing benefits from in-force rate actions [281]. - The company is subject to minimum statutory capital requirements, which if not met, could restrict its ability to conduct business [296]. - The NAIC adopted amendments to the MGI Model Act in August 2023, which could have a material adverse effect on the mortgage guaranty insurance market [297]. - Changes in federal and state regulations could materially affect the operations and profitability of Enact Holdings [301]. Operational Risks - Higher persistency on existing insured loans was observed, as prevailing market interest rates exceeded the mortgage interest rates of most of Enact Holdings' loan portfolio [255]. - The company faces potential adverse impacts on operations if the volume of new insurance written remains suppressed for an extended period [255]. - The company faces intense competition for qualified employees, which could adversely impact its operations and financial condition [309]. - Geographic concentration in the mortgage portfolio increases exposure to localized economic conditions, despite efforts to diversify [314]. - The effectiveness of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent errors or misstatements, potentially impacting investor confidence [315]. - Enact Holdings relies on third-party vendors for efficient execution of processes, which may lead to reputational damage and financial impact if these vendors fail to meet obligations [325]. - Enact Holdings may face challenges in maintaining or increasing capital in its mortgage insurance subsidiaries, potentially affecting business performance and regulatory compliance [327]. - The ability to raise additional capital through stock issuance is limited, which could adversely impact Enact Holdings' business and financial condition [329]. - Reinsurance availability and affordability are impacted by financial performance and market conditions, potentially increasing risk and capital requirements for Enact Holdings [331].
