Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Highlights

•Net income was $168 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared with $166 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025 and $184 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating income was $174 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, compared with $169 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025 and $201 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

•New insurance written (NIW) was approximately $13 billion, up 35% from the first quarter of 2025, primarily from seasonality in the purchase origination market, and modestly down from the second quarter of 2024. NIW for the current quarter was comprised of 96% monthly premium policies and 93% purchase originations.

•Persistency remained elevated at 82%, down from 84% in the first quarter of 2025 and down from 83% in the second quarter of 2024. Approximately 7% of the mortgages in our portfolio had rates at least 50 basis points above June 2025’s average mortgage rate of 6.8%.

•Primary insurance in-force (IIF) was $270 billion, up approximately 1% from $268 billion in the first quarter of 2025 and up approximately 1% from $266 billion in the second quarter of 2024.

•Net premiums earned were $245 million, approximately flat from the first quarter of 2025 and modestly increased from the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase is primarily driven by premium growth from attractive adjacencies and growth in primary insurance in-force, mostly offset by higher ceded premiums.

•Losses incurred for the second quarter of 2025 were $25 million and the loss ratio was 10%, compared to $31 million and 12%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025 and $(17) million and (7)%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024. The current quarter’s reserve release of $48 million from favorable cure performance and loss mitigation activities compares to a reserve release of $47 million and $77 million in the first quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2024, respectively. The reserve release in the second quarter of 2024 benefited from reduction of claim rate from 10% to 9%.

•Operating expenses in the current quarter were $53 million, and the expense ratio was 22%. This compared to $53 million and 21%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025 and $56 million and 23%, respectively in the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by the prior year restructuring costs of $3 million from a voluntary separation program.

•Net investment income was $66 million, up from $63 million in the first quarter of 2025 and up from $60 million in the second quarter of 2024, driven by the continuation of elevated interest rates and higher average invested assets.

•Net investment gains (losses) in the quarter were $(7) million, as compared to $(3) million sequentially and $(8) million in the same period last year. The activity is primarily driven by the identification of assets that upon selling allow us to recoup losses through higher net investment income.

•Annualized return on equity for the second quarter of 2025 was 13.0% and annualized adjusted operating return on equity was 13.4%. This compares to the first quarter of 2025 results of 13.1% and 13.4%, respectively, and to second quarter 2024 results of 15.4% and 16.9%, respectively.

Capital and Liquidity

•We paid approximately $31 million, or $0.21 per share, dividend in the second quarter.

•EMICO completed a dividend of approximately $130 million in the second quarter that will primarily be used to support our ability to return capital to shareholders and bolster financial flexibility.

•Enact Holdings, Inc. held $345 million in cash and cash equivalents plus $306 million of invested assets as of June 30, 2025. Combined cash and invested assets decreased $3 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to share buybacks, our quarterly dividend and interest payment on our debt mostly offset by the contribution from EMICO.

•PMIERs sufficiency was 165% and $2.0 billion above the PMIERs requirements, compared to 165% and $2.0 billion above the PMIERs requirements in the first quarter of 2025.

Recent Events

•We repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares at an average price of $35.45 for a total of approximately $85 million in the quarter. Additionally, through July 25, 2025, we repurchased 0.8 million shares at an average price of $35.86 for a total of $30 million. During the quarter we completed our $250 million share repurchase authorization announced May 1, 2024, and as of July 25, 2025, there was approximately $262 million remaining of our previously announced $350 million repurchase authorization.

•We announced today that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share, payable on September 8, 2025, to shareholders of record on August 18, 2025.

•We now anticipate a total 2025 capital return of approximately $400 million; the final amount and form of capital returned to shareholders will 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 most recent 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. Although Enact believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, Enact can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved and it undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

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." 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, 2025 and 2024, as well as for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
