Frequently asked questions
What is Essent Group Ltd's revenue?
Essent Group Ltd's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.28B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ESNT?
In its most recent fiscal year, ESNT ran a gross margin of 88.16%, an operating margin of 65.18%, and a net margin of 54.72%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ESNT generate?
ESNT produced $848.69M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ESNT's balance sheet healthy?
ESNT holds $123.05M in cash and equivalents against $495.30M in long-term debt, on $5.76B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
