| We believe that loss, expense and combined ratios are important measures of our financial performance. As a result of the July 1, 2023 acquisition of Agents National Title and Boston National Title (collectively "Title"), the consolidated loss, expense and combined ratios ("Consolidated Ratios") for the three months ended March 31, 2024 lack comparability with periods prior to the acquisition. In order to provide investors with more comparative information to prior periods, Essent has prepared the table below to reconcile the Consolidated Ratios to ratios excluding title, as shown below. Ratios excluding title are financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and are referred to as non-GAAP measures. Ratios excluding title are measures used to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP.The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the loss, expense and combined ratios excluding title to the most comparable GAAP amount for the three months ended March 31, 2024, in accordance with Regulation G: | ||||||||||||
