November 1, 2016 4:00 PM

EMERYVILLE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/01/16 --

NMI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMIH) today reported net income of $6.2 million, or $0.10 per share, for the third quarter ended Sep. 30, 2016. This compares with net income of $2.0 million, or $0.03 per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of ($4.8) million, or ($0.08) per share, in the third quarter of 2015. Total revenue for the quarter was $35.5 million, up 20% from $29.5 million in the prior quarter and up 141% from $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Bradley Shuster, chairman and CEO of National MI, said, "We continued our positive momentum in the third quarter, delivering record net income and returns, trends that we expect will continue for the foreseeable future. We grew our high-quality insurance-in-force by 19% over the prior quarter and 166% over the third quarter last year. We also continued to shift our mix to high-return monthly product, which grew to 71% of total new insurance written in the quarter. Cessions commenced under our reinsurance agreement and we expect to continue to take advantage of the low cost of capital provided by reinsurance to support our future growth."
