Loss, Expense and Combined Ratios and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
2022
June 30 March 31 December 31 September 30
Loss Ratio (1) % 0.6 % (0.1) % 2.0 % 2.0 %
Expense Ratio (2) % 19.8 % 22.8 % 22.6 % 20.3 %
Combined Ratio % 20.4 % 22.7 % 24.6 % 22.3 %
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 lack comparability with prior periods. In order to provide investors with more comparative information to prior periods, Essent has prepared the table below to reconcile the Consolidated Ratios to Consolidated Ratios Excluding Title, as shown below. Consolidated 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. Consolidated 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 Consolidated Ratios Excluding Title to the most comparable GAAP amount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, in accordance with Regulation G:
