In most cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or the negative or other variations on these words and other similar expressions. These statements, which may include, without limitation, projections regarding our future performance and financial condition, are made on the basis of management’s current views and assumptions with respect to future events. These statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We operate in a changing environment where new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks that may affect us. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and the forward-looking statements, as well as our prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

■the health of the U.S. housing market generally and changes in economic conditions that impact the size of the insurable mortgage market, the credit performance of our insured mortgage portfolio and our business prospects, including changes resulting from inflationary pressures, the higher interest rate environment and the risk of higher unemployment rates, as well as other macroeconomic stresses and uncertainties, including potential impacts resulting from political and geopolitical events;

■changes in the way customers, investors, ratings agencies, regulators or legislators perceive our performance, financial strength and future prospects;

■Radian Guaranty’s ability to remain eligible under the PMIERs to insure loans purchased by the GSEs;

■our ability to maintain an adequate level of capital in our insurance subsidiaries to satisfy current and future regulatory requirements;

■changes in the charters or business practices of, or rules or regulations imposed by or applicable to, the GSEs or loans purchased by the GSEs, or changes in the requirements for Radian Guaranty to remain an approved insurer to the GSEs, such as changes in the PMIERs or the GSEs’ interpretation and application of the PMIERs or other applicable requirements;

■the effects of the ERCF, which establishes a new regulatory capital framework for the GSEs, and which, as finalized, increases the capital requirements for the GSEs, and among other things, could impact the GSEs’ operations and pricing as well as the size of the insurable mortgage market;

■changes in the current housing finance system in the United States, including the roles of the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), the GSEs and private mortgage insurers in this system;

■our ability to successfully execute and implement our capital plans, including our risk distribution strategy through the capital markets and traditional reinsurance markets, and to maintain sufficient holding company liquidity to meet our liquidity needs;

■our ability to successfully execute and implement our business plans and strategies, including plans and strategies that may require GSE and/or regulatory approvals and licenses, that are subject to complex compliance requirements that we may be unable to satisfy, or that may expose us to new risks, including those that could impact our capital and liquidity positions;

■risks related to the quality of third-party mortgage underwriting and mortgage loan servicing;

■a decrease in the Persistency Rates of our mortgage insurance on Monthly Premium Policies;

■competition in the private mortgage insurance industry generally, and more specifically: price competition in our mortgage insurance business and competition from the FHA and the VA as well as from other forms of credit enhancement, such as any potential GSE-sponsored alternatives to traditional mortgage insurance;

■U.S. political conditions, which may be more volatile and present a heightened risk in Presidential election years, and legislative and regulatory activity (or inactivity), including adoption of (or failure to adopt) new laws and regulations, or changes in existing laws and regulations, or the way they are interpreted or applied;

■legal and regulatory claims, assertions, actions, reviews, audits, inquiries and investigations that could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, injunctions, restitutions or other relief that could require significant expenditures, new or increased reserves or have other effects on our business;

■the amount and timing of potential payments or adjustments associated with federal or other tax examinations;

■the possibility that we may fail to estimate accurately, especially in the event of an extended economic downturn or a period of extreme market volatility and economic uncertainty, the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in establishing loss reserves for our mortgage insurance business or to accurately calculate and/or project our Available Assets and Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs, which could be impacted by, among other things, the size and mix of our IIF, future changes to the PMIERs, the level of defaults in our portfolio, the reported status of defaults in our portfolio (including whether they are subject to mortgage forbearance, a repayment plan or a loan modification trial period), the level of cash flow generated by our insurance operations and our risk distribution strategies;

■volatility in our financial results caused by changes in the fair value of our assets and liabilities, including with respect to our use of derivatives and within our investment portfolio;

■changes in GAAP or SAP rules and guidance, or their interpretation;

■risks associated with investments to grow our existing businesses, or to pursue new lines of business or new products and services, including our ability and related costs to develop, launch and implement new and innovative technologies and digital products and services, whether these products and services receive broad customer acceptance or disrupt existing customer relationships, and additional financial risks related to these investments, including required changes in our investment, financing and hedging strategies, risks associated with our increased use of financial leverage, which could expose us to liquidity risks resulting from changes in the fair values of assets, and the risk that we may fail to achieve forecasted results, which could result in lower or negative earnings contribution;

■the effectiveness and security of our information technology systems and digital products and services, including the risk that these systems, products or services fail to operate as expected or planned or expose us to cybersecurity or third-party risks, including due to malware, unauthorized access, cyberattack, ransomware or other similar events;

■our ability to attract and retain key employees;

■the amount of dividends, if any, that our insurance subsidiaries may distribute to us, which under applicable regulatory requirements is based primarily on the financial performance of our insurance subsidiaries, and therefore, may be impacted by general economic, competitive and other factors, many of which are beyond our control; and

■the ability of our operating subsidiaries to distribute amounts to us under our internal tax- and expense-sharing arrangements, which for our insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulatory review and could be terminated at the discretion of such regulators.

For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, you should refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K, and to subsequent reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the SEC. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date on which we issued this report. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.

1. Description of Business

We are a mortgage and real estate company, providing both credit-related mortgage insurance coverage and an array of products and services across the residential real estate and mortgage finance industries. We have one reportable business segment—Mortgage Insurance.

Mortgage Insurance

Our Mortgage Insurance segment provides credit-related insurance coverage, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans, as well as contract underwriting and other credit risk management solutions, to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. We provide our mortgage insurance products and services mainly through our wholly owned subsidiary, Radian Guaranty.

Private mortgage insurance plays an important role in the U.S. housing finance system because it promotes affordable home ownership and helps protect mortgage lenders and mortgage investors, as well as other beneficiaries such as the GSEs, by mitigating default-related losses on residential mortgage loans. Generally, these loans are made to home buyers who make down payments of less than 20% of the purchase price for their home or, in the case of refinancings, have less than 20% equity in their home. Private mortgage insurance also facilitates the sale of these low down payment loans in the secondary mortgage market, almost all of which are currently sold to the GSEs.

Our total direct primary mortgage IIF and RIF were $271.0 billion and $70.3 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2024, compared to $270.0 billion and $69.7 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

The GSEs and state insurance regulators impose various capital and financial requirements on our mortgage insurance subsidiaries. These include the PMIERs financial requirements, as well as Risk-to-capital and other risk-based capital measures and surplus requirements. Failure to comply with these capital and financial requirements may limit the amount of insurance that our mortgage insurance subsidiaries write or may prohibit them from writing insurance altogether. The GSEs with respect to Radian Guaranty and state insurance regulators with respect to all of our mortgage insurance subsidiaries possess significant discretion regarding all aspects of these businesses. See Note 16 for additional information on PMIERs and other regulatory information.

All Other

We report on our other operating segments and business activities within an All Other category, which includes the results of our Mortgage Conduit, Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses.

See Note 4 for additional information about our Mortgage Insurance reportable segment and All Other business activities.

Risks and Uncertainties

In assessing the Company’s current financial condition and developing forecasts of future operations, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to potential factors impacting our financial and liquidity position. These judgments and estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect amounts reported in our financial statements in future periods and that could cause actual results to be materially different from our estimates.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Radian Group and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, and intercompany profits and losses, have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including a reclassification for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of interest expense to net investment income for expenses associated with our securities lending transactions. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to the instructions set forth in Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC.

We generally refer to our holding company alone, without its consolidated subsidiaries, as “Radian Group.” We refer to Radian Group together with its consolidated subsidiaries as “Radian,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context requires otherwise. Unless otherwise defined in this report, certain terms and acronyms used throughout this report are defined in the Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms included as part of this report.

The financial information presented for interim periods is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position, results of operations,


			Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

To fully understand the basis of presentation, these interim financial statements and related notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. While the amounts included in our condensed consolidated financial statements include our best estimates and assumptions, actual results may vary materially.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for information regarding other significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies from those discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update modify disclosure and presentation requirements related to various topics and align codification with the SEC’s regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirements, the pending content will be removed and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This update enhances disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant reportable segment expenses under ASC 280. This update is applicable to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal periods commencing after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, an update which enhances income tax disclosures. This guidance requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This update is applicable to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our disclosures.

3. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares relate to our share-based compensation arrangements.


			Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows.


Net income per share

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except per-share amounts)		2024		2023
Net income—basic and diluted		$	152,354	$	157,757

Average common shares outstanding—basic		153,817		158,304

Basic		$	0.99	$	1.00
Diluted		$	0.98	$	0.98

(1)The following number of shares of our common stock equivalents issued under our share-based compensation arrangements are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Shares of common stock equivalents		—	25

4. Segment Reporting

In the first quarter of 2024, our Chief Executive Officer (Radian’s chief operating decision maker) made certain changes to the way that he organizes and assesses the performance of our operating segments, which resulted in updates to our quantitative and aggregation analyses in accordance with the accounting standard regarding segment reporting. Whereas previously we aggregated our Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses and reported them as a single reportable segment named homegenius, effective this quarter, we are including the individual results of operations for these immaterial businesses, as well as the results of our Mortgage Conduit business (our other operating segment that does not meet the reportable segment materiality thresholds) in the All Other category, along with certain corporate and other activities. This reflects the way our Chief Executive Officer is currently managing and evaluating these businesses individually and is aligned with materiality considerations consistent with current accounting guidance.

As a result of the change described above, we now have one reportable segment, Mortgage Insurance, which derives its revenue from mortgage insurance and other mortgage and risk services, including contract underwriting solutions provided to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. In addition to this reportable segment, in All Other we report activities that include: (i) income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, our holding company; (ii) related general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segment; and (iii) the operating results from certain other immaterial activities and operating segments, including our Mortgage Conduit, Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses. We have reflected this change in our segment operating results for all periods presented, as shown below.

We allocate corporate operating expenses to our Mortgage Insurance business and our immaterial operating businesses included in All Other based primarily on their respective forecasted annual percentage of total revenue, which approximates the estimated percentage of management time spent on each business. In addition, we allocate all corporate interest expense to our Mortgage Insurance segment, due to the capital-intensive nature of our mortgage insurance business. We do not manage assets by operating segments.

See Note 1 for additional details about our Mortgage Insurance business.

Adjusted Pretax Operating Income (Loss)

Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, uses adjusted pretax operating income (loss) as our primary measure to evaluate the fundamental financial performance of each of Radian’s businesses and to allocate resources to them.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, except for certain investments and other financial instruments attributable to


			Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

our reportable segment or All Other activities; (ii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets; and (iii) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, if any, such as gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business, acquisition-related income (expenses) and gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss), including the reasons for their treatment.

Although adjusted pretax operating income (loss) excludes certain items that have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future, the excluded items represent those that are: (i) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities or (ii) not expected to result in an economic impact equal to the amount reflected in pretax income (loss).

The reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) for our reportable segment to consolidated pretax income is as follows.

(3)The non-operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily relates to a loss on extinguishment of debt. See Note 12 for more information.

There were 1,041 and 1,063 securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. We determined that these unrealized losses were due to non-credit factors and that, as of March 31, 2024, we did not expect to realize a loss for our investments in an unrealized loss position given our intent and ability to hold these investment securities until recovery of their amortized cost basis. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for information regarding our accounting policy for impairments of investments.

Loaned Securities

We participate in a securities lending program whereby we loan certain securities in our investment portfolio to third-party borrowers for short periods of time. Under this program, we had loaned $120 million and $204 million of our investment securities to third parties as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, including both fixed-maturities and equity securities. Although we report such securities at fair value within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, rather than within investments, the detailed information we provide in this Note 6 includes these securities.

All of our securities lending agreements are classified as overnight and revolving. Securities collateral on deposit with us from third-party borrowers totaling $34 million and $61 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, may not be transferred or re-pledged unless the third-party borrower is in default, and is therefore not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

See Note 5 herein for additional detail on the loaned securities and see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies with respect to our securities lending agreements and the collateral requirements thereunder.

7. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The carrying value of mortgage loans held for sale owned by Radian Mortgage Capital totaled $147 million and $33 million at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is based on fair value. The estimated fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale is subject to changes in mortgage interest rates from the date we agree to purchase the mortgage loan through the date we agree to sell the mortgage loan. We elected the fair value option for our mortgage loans held for sale to mitigate income statement volatility and allow for consistent treatment of both loans and any associated hedges or derivatives. Net gains (losses) associated with our mortgage loans held for sale and any related hedges are included in net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2024, our mortgage loans held for sale consisted of 217 mortgage loans with a total unpaid principal balance of $145 million, related to properties in 37 states and the District of Columbia. As of March 31, 2024, none of these loans were greater than ninety days delinquent or in nonaccrual status. Interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale is included in net investment income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Further, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had commitments to purchase and fund additional mortgage loans with a total unpaid principal balance of $277 million. Prior to the settlement and funding of these loan purchases, any unrealized net gains (losses) related to these commitments are recorded as derivative assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to the debt covenants under its financing facilities, Radian Mortgage Capital is also subject to certain requirements established by state and other regulators and loan purchasers, including Freddie Mac, such as certain minimum net worth and capital requirements. The most restrictive of these financial requirements requires Radian Mortgage Capital to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $3 million. To the extent these requirements are not met, these parties may exercise certain remedies, which may include, as applicable, prohibiting Radian Mortgage Capital from purchasing, selling, or servicing loans. As of March 31, 2024, Radian Mortgage Capital was in compliance with all such requirements.

8. Reinsurance

In our mortgage insurance and title insurance businesses, we use reinsurance as part of our risk distribution strategy, including to manage our capital position and risk profile. The reinsurance arrangements for our mortgage insurance business include premiums ceded under the QSR Program and the XOL Program. The amount of credit that we receive under the PMIERs financial requirements for our third-party reinsurance transactions is subject to approval and regular review by the GSEs.

QSR Program

2023 and 2022 QSR Agreements

Radian Guaranty entered into each of the 2023 and 2022 QSR Agreements with panels of third-party reinsurance providers to cede a contractual quota share percentage of certain of our NIW, which includes both Recurring Premium Policies and Single Premium Policies (as set forth in the table below), subject to certain conditions, including a limitation for the 2023 QSR Agreement on ceded RIF equal to $3.0 billion over the term of the agreement.

Radian Guaranty receives a ceding commission for ceded premiums earned pursuant to these transactions. Radian Guaranty is also entitled to receive a profit commission quarterly, subject to a final annual re-calculation, provided that the loss ratio on the loans covered under the agreements generally remains below the applicable prescribed thresholds. Losses on the ceded risk up to these thresholds reduce Radian Guaranty’s profit commission on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Radian Guaranty may discontinue ceding new policies under the 2023 QSR Agreement at the end of any calendar quarter. As of July 1, 2023, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the 2022 QSR Agreement.

Single Premium QSR Program

Radian Guaranty entered into each of the 2016 Single Premium QSR Agreement, 2018 Single Premium QSR Agreement and 2020 Single Premium QSR Agreement with panels of third-party reinsurers to cede a contractual quota share percentage of our Single Premium NIW as of the effective date of each agreement (as set forth in the table below), subject to certain conditions.

Radian Guaranty receives a ceding commission for ceded premiums written pursuant to these transactions. Radian Guaranty also receives a profit commission annually, provided that the loss ratio on the loans covered under the agreement generally remains below the applicable prescribed thresholds. Losses on the ceded risk up to these thresholds reduce Radian Guaranty’s profit commission on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

As of January 1, 2022, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the Single Premium QSR Program.

The following table sets forth additional details regarding the QSR Program, with RIF ceded as of the dates indicated.

(2)Radian Guaranty has the option, based on certain conditions and subject to a termination fee, to terminate any of the agreements at the end of any calendar quarter on or after the applicable optional termination date. If Radian Guaranty exercises this option in the future, it would result in Radian Guaranty reassuming the related RIF in exchange for a net payment to the reinsurers calculated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Radian Guaranty also may terminate any of the agreements prior to the scheduled termination date under certain circumstances, including if one or both of the GSEs no longer grant full PMIERs credit for the reinsurance.

Radian Guaranty has entered into fully collateralized reinsurance arrangements with the Eagle Re Issuers, as described below. For the respective coverage periods, Radian Guaranty retains the first-loss layer of aggregate losses, as well as any losses in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amounts. The Eagle Re Issuers provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding coverage amounts. For each of these reinsurance arrangements, the Eagle Re Issuers financed their coverage by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes to eligible capital markets investors in unregistered private offerings.

The aggregate excess-of-loss reinsurance coverage for these arrangements decreases over the maturity period of the mortgage insurance-linked notes (either a 10-year or 12.5-year period depending on the transaction) as the principal balances of the underlying covered mortgages decrease and as any claims are paid by the applicable Eagle Re Issuer or the mortgage insurance is canceled. Radian Guaranty has rights to terminate the reinsurance agreements upon the occurrence of certain events, including an optional call feature that provides Radian Guaranty the right to terminate the transaction on or after the optional call date (5 or 7 years after the issuance of the mortgage insurance-linked notes depending on the transaction) and a right to exercise an optional clean-up call if the outstanding principal amount of the related mortgage insurance-linked notes falls below 10% of the initial coverage level or principal balance, depending on the transaction, of the related mortgage insurance-linked notes.

Under each of the reinsurance agreements, the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount will begin amortizing after an initial period in which a target level of credit enhancement is obtained and will stop amortizing if certain thresholds, or triggers, are reached, including a delinquency trigger event based on an elevated level of delinquencies as defined in the related mortgage insurance-linked notes transaction agreements.

Any remaining mortgage insurance-linked notes issued by Eagle Re 2020-1 Ltd. were paid in full in March 2024, with no material impact to the Company. As a result, as of March 31, 2024, Eagle Re 2020-1 Ltd. is no longer providing reinsurance coverage to Radian Guaranty.

Traditional Reinsurance

For the respective coverage periods under traditional XOL reinsurance agreements, Radian Guaranty retains the first-loss layer of aggregate losses, as well as any losses in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amounts. The reinsurers provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding coverage amounts.

The 2023 XOL Agreement is scheduled to terminate September 30, 2033. Radian Guaranty has the option, based upon certain conditions, to terminate the agreement as of September 30, 2028, or at the end of any calendar quarter thereafter, which would result in Radian Guaranty reassuming the related RIF. In the event Radian Guaranty does not exercise its right to terminate the agreement on September 30, 2028, the monthly premium rate will increase from the original monthly premium.

(1)Excludes Eagle Re 2020-1 Ltd., which as further discussed above, was terminated in March 2024.

(2)Radian Group purchased $45 million of Eagle Re 2021-1 Ltd. outstanding principal amounts of the respective mortgage insurance-linked notes issued in connection with that reinsurance transaction. On our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2024, these notes are included either in fixed-maturities available for sale or, if included in our securities lending program, in other assets. See Notes 5 and 6 for additional information.

The Eagle Re Issuers are not subsidiaries or affiliates of Radian Guaranty. Based on the accounting guidance that addresses VIEs, we have not consolidated any of the assets and liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers in our financial statements, because Radian does not have: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the Eagle Re Issuers’ economic performances or (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the Eagle Re Issuers that potentially could be significant to the Eagle Re Issuers. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information on our accounting treatment of VIEs.

SOFR is the effective benchmark rate for all of our reinsurance agreements with the Eagle Re Issuers as of March 31, 2024. The reinsurance premium due to the Eagle Re Issuers is calculated by multiplying the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount at the beginning of a period by a coupon rate, which is the sum of SOFR, plus a contractual risk margin, and then subtracting actual investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trust during the preceding month. As a result, the premiums we pay will vary based on: (i) the spread between SOFR and the rates on the investments held by the reinsurance trust and (ii) the outstanding amount of reinsurance coverage.

As the reinsurance premium will vary based on changes in these rates, we concluded that the reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives, which we have accounted for separately as freestanding derivatives and recorded in other assets or other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded in net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5 herein and Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information on our fair value measurements of financial instruments, including our embedded derivatives.

In the event an Eagle Re Issuer is unable to meet its future obligations to us, if any, our insurance subsidiaries would be liable to make claims payments to our policyholders. In the event that all of the assets in the reinsurance trust (consisting of U.S. government money market funds, cash or U.S. Treasury securities) become worthless and the Eagle Re Issuer is unable to make its payments to us, our maximum potential loss would be the amount of mortgage insurance claim payments for losses on the insured policies, net of the aggregate reinsurance payments already received, up to the full aggregate excess-of-loss reinsurance coverage amount. In the same scenario, the related embedded derivative would no longer have value.


			Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Eagle Re Issuers represent our only VIEs as of the dates indicated. The following table presents the total assets and liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers as of the dates indicated.


Total VIE assets and liabilities of Eagle Re Issuers (1)

(In thousands)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Eagle Re 2023-1 Ltd.	$	353,077	$	353,077
Eagle Re 2021-2 Ltd.	328,326		354,947
Eagle Re 2021-1 Ltd.	227,212		250,268
Eagle Re 2020-1 Ltd.	—		6,617
Total	$	908,615	$	964,909

(1)Assets held by the Eagle Re Issuers are required to be invested in U.S. government money market funds, cash or U.S. Treasury securities. Liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers consist of their mortgage insurance-linked notes, as described above. Assets and liabilities are equal to each other for each of the Eagle Re Issuers.

Other Collateral

Although we use reinsurance as one of our risk management tools, reinsurance does not relieve us of our obligations to our policyholders. In the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations to us, our insurance subsidiaries would be liable for any defaulted amounts. However, consistent with the PMIERs reinsurer counterparty collateral requirements, the third-party reinsurers to Radian Guaranty have established trusts to help secure our potential cash recoveries. In addition to the total VIE assets of the Eagle Re Issuers discussed above, the amount held in reinsurance trusts was $281 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $274 million as of December 31, 2023.

In addition, primarily for the Single Premium QSR Program, Radian Guaranty holds amounts related to ceded premiums written to collateralize the reinsurers’ obligations, which is reported in reinsurance funds withheld on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any loss recoveries and profit commissions paid to Radian Guaranty related to the Single Premium QSR Program are expected to be realized from this account.

See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information about our reinsurance transactions.

9. Other Assets

The following table shows the components of other assets as of the dates indicated.

10. Income Taxes

We use the estimated effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes in interim periods. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item.

As of both March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our current federal income tax liability was $21 million, which primarily relates to applying the accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes, and is included as a component of other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As a mortgage guaranty insurer, we are eligible for a tax deduction, subject to certain limitations, under Internal Revenue Code Section 832(e) for amounts required by state law or regulation to be set aside in statutory contingency reserves. The deduction is allowed only to the extent that, in conjunction with quarterly federal tax payment due dates, we purchase non-interest bearing U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from deducting any portion of our statutory contingency reserves. As of both March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we held $750 million of these bonds, which are included as prepaid federal income taxes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding deduction of our statutory contingency reserves resulted in the recognition of a net deferred tax liability.

For additional information on our income taxes, including our accounting policies, see Notes 2 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.

(1)Related to ceded losses recoverable, if any, on reinsurance transactions. See Note 8 for additional information.

(2)Related to underlying defaulted loans with a most recent default notice dated in the year indicated. For example, if a loan had defaulted in a prior year, but then subsequently cured and later re-defaulted in the current year, that default would be considered a current year default.

Reserve Activity

Incurred Losses

Total incurred losses are driven by: (i) case reserves established for new default notices, which are primarily impacted by both the number of new primary default notices received in the period and our related gross Default to Claim Rate and Claim Severity assumptions applied to those new defaults and (ii) reserve developments on prior period defaults, which are primarily impacted by changes to our prior Default to Claim Rate and Claim Severity assumptions applied to these loans.

New primary default notices totaled 11,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 10,624 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of 11%. We believe this increase in new primary defaults is mainly due to the natural seasoning of our insured portfolio given the increase in our IIF in recent years and not the result of deteriorating credit performance of the insured portfolio.

Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption applied to new defaults was 8.0% as of both March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, based on our review of trends in Cures and claims paid for our default inventory and taking into consideration the risks and uncertainties associated with the current economic environment.

Our provision for losses during both the first three months of 2024 and 2023 was positively impacted by favorable reserve development on prior year defaults, primarily as a result of more favorable trends in Cures than originally estimated. These Cures have been due primarily to favorable outcomes resulting from positive trends in home price appreciation, which has also contributed to a higher rate of claims that result in no ultimate loss to us and that are withdrawn by servicers as a result. These favorable observed trends for prior year default notices resulted in reductions in our Default to Claim Rate and other reserve assumptions in both 2024 and 2023, including most notably our Claim Severity assumptions in 2024. As the remaining number of defaults has continued to decline, the magnitude of the impact to our provision for losses from reserve development on prior year defaults has declined as well.

Claims Paid

Total claims paid were materially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

For additional information about our Reserve for Losses and LAE, including our accounting policies, see Notes 2 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Senior Notes

Senior Notes due 2029. In March 2024, we issued $625 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2029 and received net proceeds of $617 million. These notes mature on May 15, 2029, and bear interest at a rate of 6.200% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, with interest payments commencing on November 15, 2024.

We have the option to redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to April 15, 2029 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the notes) (the “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to the


			Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

greater of (a) the make-whole amount, which is the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Senior Notes due 2029 matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate plus 30 basis points less interest accrued to the redemption date, and (b) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after the Par Call Date, we may, at our option, redeem the notes in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes due 2029 contains covenants customary for securities of this nature, including covenants related to the payments of the notes, reports to be provided, compliance certificates to be issued and the ability to modify the covenants. Additionally, the indenture includes covenants restricting us from encumbering the capital stock of a designated subsidiary (as defined in the indenture for the notes) or disposing of any capital stock of any designated subsidiary unless either all of the stock is disposed of for cash or property which is at least equal to the fair market value of the stock or we retain more than 80% of the stock.

Extinguishment of Debt

Redemption of Senior Notes due 2025. In March 2024, we exercised our right to redeem all of our outstanding Senior Notes due 2025 in the aggregate principal amount of $525 million, at a redemption price of 100.4% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. We funded the redemption with $527 million in cash (which included accrued and unpaid interest due on the redeemed notes). This redemption resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Following this redemption, there were no remaining principal amounts outstanding on the Senior Notes due 2025 at March 31, 2024.

FHLB Advances

The principal balance of the FHLB advances is required to be collateralized by eligible assets with a fair value that must be maintained generally within a minimum range of 103% to 114% of the amount borrowed, depending on the type of assets pledged. Our fixed-maturities available for sale include securities totaling $84 million and $101 million at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, which serve as collateral for our FHLB advances to satisfy this requirement.

Mortgage Loan Financing Facilities

Radian Mortgage Capital has entered into Master Repurchase Agreements to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans and related mortgage loan assets. The Goldman Sachs Master Repurchase Agreement and the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement are uncommitted mortgage loan repurchase facilities, with maximum borrowing amounts of $100 million and $150 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. In April 2024, the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement was amended to increase the maximum borrowing amount to $400 million. The Goldman Sachs Master Repurchase Agreement and the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement are currently scheduled to expire on September 14, 2024, and September 25, 2024, respectively.

In January 2024, Radian Mortgage Capital entered into a master repurchase agreement with Flagstar Bank, N.A. (“Flagstar”). This agreement is an uncommitted mortgage loan repurchase facility with a maximum borrowing amount of $150 million pursuant to which Radian Mortgage Capital may from time to time sell to Flagstar, and later repurchase, certain residential mortgage loan assets. The Flagstar Master Repurchase Agreement is scheduled to expire on January 27, 2025.

The borrowings under the Master Repurchase Agreements bear a variable interest rate based on one-month SOFR or compounded SOFR, depending on the agreement, plus an applicable margin, with interest payable monthly. Principal is due upon the earliest of the sale or disposition of the related mortgage loans, the occurrence of certain default or acceleration events or at the termination date of the applicable Master Repurchase Agreement.

Funds advanced under the Master Repurchase Agreements generally will be calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance or fair value of the residential mortgage loan assets, depending on the credit characteristics of the loans being purchased. Of our mortgage loans held for sale, $142 million and $31 million served as collateral for the Master Repurchase Agreements to support the funds advanced at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

Radian Group has in place a $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. As of March 31, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

Debt Covenants and Other Information

As of March 31, 2024, we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants, including for our senior notes. For more information regarding our borrowings and financing activities, including certain terms, covenants and Parent Guarantees provided by Radian Group in connection with particular borrowings, see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are routinely involved in a number of legal actions and proceedings, including reviews, audits, inquiries, information-gathering requests and investigations by various regulatory entities, as well as litigation and other disputes arising in the ordinary course of our business. Legal actions and proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, injunctions, restitutions or other relief that could require significant expenditures or have other effects on our business.

Management believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the outcome of currently pending or threatened actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The outcome of legal actions and proceedings is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that any one or more matters could have an adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for any particular period.

Lease Liability

Our lease liability represents the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Our operating lease liability was $42 million and $45 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is classified in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Share Repurchase Activity

From time to time, Radian Group’s board of directors approves share repurchase programs authorizing the Company to repurchase Radian Group common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Radian generally operates its share repurchase programs pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, which provides for share repurchases at predetermined price targets and permits the Company to purchase shares when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so.

In January 2023, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to spend up to $300 million, excluding commissions, to repurchase Radian Group common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Radian has implemented a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The authorization will expire in January 2025.


			Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased 1.8 million shares at an average price of $28.26 per share, including commissions. As of March 31, 2024, purchase authority of up to $117 million remained available under this program.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. All dollar amounts presented in this report related to our share repurchases and our share repurchase authorizations exclude such excise taxes, to the extent applicable, unless otherwise indicated.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

Other mortgage insurance subsidiaries	17,105		17,444
Radian Title Insurance	41,676		41,108

Under state insurance regulations, Radian Guaranty is required to maintain minimum surplus levels and, in certain states, a maximum ratio of net RIF relative to statutory capital, or Risk-to-capital. The most common Statutory RBC Requirement is that a mortgage insurer’s Risk-to-capital may not exceed 25 to 1. In certain of the RBC States, a mortgage insurer must satisfy an MPP Requirement. Radian Guaranty was in compliance with all applicable Statutory RBC Requirements and MPP Requirements in each of the RBC States as of March 31, 2024. Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital was 10.2:1 and 10.4:1 as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. For purposes of the Risk-to-capital requirements imposed by certain states, statutory capital is defined as the sum of statutory policyholders’ surplus plus statutory contingency reserves. Our other mortgage insurance and title insurance subsidiaries were also in compliance with all statutory and counterparty capital requirements as of March 31, 2024.

In addition, in order to be eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs, mortgage insurers such as Radian Guaranty must meet the GSEs’ eligibility requirements, or PMIERs. At March 31, 2024, Radian Guaranty, an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs, was in compliance with the current PMIERs financial requirements.

State insurance regulations include various capital requirements and dividend restrictions based on our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory financial position and results of operations. As of March 31, 2024, the amount of restricted net assets held by our consolidated insurance subsidiaries (which represents our equity investment in those insurance subsidiaries) totaled $4.7 billion of our consolidated net assets.

While all proposed dividends and distributions to stockholders must be filed with the Pennsylvania Insurance Department prior to payment, if a Pennsylvania domiciled insurer has positive unassigned surplus, such insurer can pay dividends or other distributions during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount less than or equal to the greater of: (i) 10% of the preceding year-end statutory policyholders’ surplus or (ii) the preceding year’s statutory net income, in each case without the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.

Radian Guaranty had positive unassigned surplus of $120 million as of December 31, 2023, providing it with the ability to pay ordinary dividends in the first quarter of 2024, subject to the above restrictions under Pennsylvania’s insurance laws. As a result, Radian Guaranty paid an ordinary dividend of $100 million to Radian Group in the first quarter of 2024 and maintains the ability to pay additional ordinary dividends during the remainder of 2024. Subsequent to the payment of these dividends, as of March 31, 2024, Radian Guaranty had positive unassigned surplus of $203 million.

For a full description of our compliance with statutory and other regulations for our mortgage insurance and title insurance businesses, including statutory capital requirements and dividend restrictions, see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a mortgage and real estate company with one reportable business segment—Mortgage Insurance.

Our Mortgage Insurance segment aggregates, manages and distributes U.S. mortgage credit risk for the benefit of mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans, and also offers other credit risk management solutions, including contract underwriting, to our customers.

Our other immaterial businesses are reported collectively as All Other and include our Mortgage Conduit, Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses, which provide our existing and new customers with an array of products and services across the residential real estate and mortgage finance industries.

Current Operating Environment

As a mortgage and real estate company, our business results are subject to seasonal fluctuations impacting mortgage and real estate markets as well as macroeconomic conditions and specific events that impact the housing, housing finance and residential real estate markets and the credit performance of our mortgage insurance portfolio. Among others, these factors may include home prices and housing supply, inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, unemployment levels, the volume of mortgage originations and the availability of credit, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory developments and other events, including macroeconomic stresses and uncertainties resulting from global conflicts and other political and geopolitical events.

Consistent with the trends observed in recent periods, the economic and market conditions impacting our results for the first quarter of 2024 remained generally favorable. Interest rates remain elevated, which has benefited our Persistency Rates and net investment income yields, however, this has also contributed to reduced refinance volumes and NIW in our Mortgage Insurance business and lower transaction volumes for certain of our other businesses. Private mortgage insurance industry volumes are impacted by total mortgage origination volumes and the mix between mortgage originations that are for home purchases versus refinancings of existing mortgages. Although it is difficult to project future volumes, recent industry forecasts


Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

project a total mortgage origination market for 2024 of approximately $1.8 trillion, which would represent an increase of approximately 15% compared to 2023, but a reduction compared to projections at the beginning of 2024. This decrease in projections for 2024 primarily relates to the change in expectations for the timing for future interest rate decreases. Future interest rate decreases in 2024 are now expected to be less and to occur later, if at all, which would similarly delay any expected decline in mortgage interest rates, and as a result, reduce the overall size of the mortgage market. In light of updated projections, we now estimate that the private mortgage insurance market will be approximately $300 billion in 2024, which is the lower end of our expectations at the beginning of the year. In “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K, see “A decrease in the volume of mortgage originations could result in fewer opportunities for us to write new mortgage insurance business and conduct our homegenius businesses” for more information.

While these recent developments in macroeconomic conditions are expected to negatively impact the overall volume of mortgage transactions taking place, the higher interest rate environment is expected to continue to benefit our financial performance through higher Persistency Rates, which is expected to increase our IIF despite lower NIW, as well as through the recognition of higher net investment income. Further, the housing supply continues to be constrained, which we believe will continue to support home values and the high level of home price appreciation currently embedded in our insured portfolio of mortgages. We expect this will continue to benefit our IIF as a result of the increased level of embedded equity borrowers have in their homes, which has positively impacted our default and cure trends. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Current Operating Environment” in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional discussion of the primary factors affecting the current operating environment for our businesses.

Despite risks and uncertainties, we believe that mortgage industry fundamentals remain strong, including as a result of the improvements to the mortgage and real estate ecosystem since the great financial crisis in 2008, such as more stringent underwriting and product standards, higher-quality borrowers with strong credit profiles and strengthened mortgage loan servicing and government support to help borrowers stay in their homes.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

We are subject to comprehensive regulation by both federal and state regulatory authorities. For a description of significant state and federal regulations and other requirements of the GSEs that are applicable to our businesses, as well as legislative and regulatory developments affecting the housing finance industry, see “Item 1. Business—Regulation” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results

The key factors affecting our results are discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these key factors.

Mortgage Insurance Portfolio

New Insurance Written

We wrote $11.5 billion of primary new mortgage insurance in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $11.3 billion of NIW in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our NIW increased by 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to an increase in our market share, partially offset by a decline in private mortgage insurance penetration as a percentage of the overall mortgage origination market. According to industry estimates, total mortgage origination volume was slightly higher for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the comparable period in 2023, due to a small increase in both mortgage refinance activity and home purchases.

The following table provides selected information for the periods indicated related to our mortgage insurance NIW. For direct Single Premium Policies, NIW includes policies written on an individual basis (as each loan is originated) and on an aggregated basis (in which each individual loan in a group of loans is insured in a single transaction, typically after the loans have been originated).

Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our IIF is the primary driver of the future premiums that we expect to earn over time. IIF increased to $271.0 billion at March 31, 2024, from $270.0 billion at December 31, 2023, reflecting the impact of our NIW offset by policy cancellations and amortization for the first three months of 2024. Our IIF at March 31, 2024, increased 4% as compared to the same period last year, reflecting a 6% increase in Monthly Premium Policies in force partially offset by a 9% decline in Single Premium Policies in force.

Historically, there is a close correlation between interest rates and Persistency Rates. Higher interest rate environments generally decrease refinancings, which decrease the cancellation rate of our insurance and positively affect our Persistency Rates. As shown in the table below, our 12-month Persistency Rate at March 31, 2024, increased as compared to March 31, 2023. The increase in our Persistency Rate at March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to decreased refinance activity due to increases in mortgage interest rates, as compared to the same period in the prior year. As of March 31, 2024, 85% of our IIF had a mortgage note interest rate of 6.5% or less. Given the increase in market mortgage interest rates, which, based on reported industry averages, now exceed these levels, we would expect a continued positive impact on our Persistency Rates. If refinance volume increases, we would expect the Persistency Rate for our portfolio to decrease, reducing the size of our IIF portfolio. See “If the length of time that our mortgage insurance policies remain in force declines, it could result in a decrease in our future revenues” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information.

Throughout this report, unless otherwise noted, RIF is presented on a gross basis and includes the amount ceded under reinsurance. RIF and IIF for direct Single Premium Policies include policies written on an individual basis (as each loan is originated) and on an aggregated basis (in which each individual loan in a group of loans is insured in a single transaction, typically after the loans have been originated).

The following table provides selected information as of and for the periods indicated related to mortgage insurance IIF and RIF.

Risk Distribution

We use third-party reinsurance in our mortgage insurance business as part of our risk distribution strategy, including to manage our capital position and risk profile. When we enter into a reinsurance agreement, the reinsurer receives a premium and, in exchange, insures an agreed-upon portion of incurred losses. While these arrangements reduce our earned premiums, they also reduce our required capital and are expected to increase our return on required capital for the related policies.

The impact of these programs on our financial results will vary depending on the level of ceded RIF, as well as the levels of prepayments and incurred losses on the reinsured portfolios, among other factors. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting Our Results—Mortgage Insurance—Risk Distribution” in our 2023 Form 10-K and Note 8 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for more information about our reinsurance transactions.

Results of Operations—Consolidated

Radian Group serves as the holding company for our operating subsidiaries and does not have any operations of its own. Our consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, primarily reflect the financial results and performance of our Mortgage Insurance business. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage Insurance” for the operating results of this business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

In addition to the results of our operating segments, pretax income (loss) is also affected by those factors described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting Our Results” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Revenues

Net Premiums Earned. Net premiums earned increased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage Insurance—Revenues—Net Premiums Earned” for more information.

Net Investment Income. The increase in net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily attributable to higher market interest rates. See Note 6 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for comparative detail about net investment income. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage Insurance—Revenues—Net Investment Income” and “Results of Operations—All Other” for more information.

Net Gains (Losses) on Investments and Other Financial Instruments. See Note 6 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for comparative detail about net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments by investment category.


Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Expenses

Provision for Losses. The reduced benefit of the provision for losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily driven by a reduction in favorable development on prior period defaults, which impacted our mortgage insurance reserves. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage Insurance—Expenses—Provision for Losses” for more information.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses were slightly lower for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage Insurance—Expenses—Other Operating Expenses” for more information.

Interest Expense. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to: (i) a $4 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2025 in March 2024; (ii) the impact of the March 2024 issuance of the Senior Notes due 2029; and (iii) an increase in secured borrowings under our mortgage loan financing facilities. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail about our interest expense.

Income Tax Provision

Variations in our effective tax rates, combined with differences in pretax income, were the drivers of the changes in our income tax provision between periods. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 23.3%, as compared to 22.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our provision for income taxes for interim periods is established based on our estimated annual effective tax rate for a given year and reflects the impact of discrete tax effects in the period in which they occur. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, state income taxes and certain permanent book-to-tax adjustments were the primary drivers of the difference in our effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to traditional GAAP financial measures, we have presented “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity,” which are non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, among our key performance indicators to evaluate our fundamental financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures align with the way our business performance is evaluated by both management and by our board of directors. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purposes of evaluating our operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with our peers. Although on a consolidated basis adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity are non-GAAP financial measures, for the reasons discussed above we believe these measures aid in understanding the underlying performance of our operations.

Total adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity are not measures of overall profitability, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share or return on equity. Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity, as discussed and reconciled below to the most comparable respective GAAP measures, may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.

Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Radian’s chief operating decision maker), uses adjusted pretax operating income (loss) as our primary measure to evaluate the fundamental financial performance of the Company’s business segments and to allocate resources to the segments. For detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss) and the reasons for their treatment, see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Consolidated—Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” each in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP consolidated pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, except for certain investments and other financial instruments attributable to our reportable segment or All Other activities; (ii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets; and (iii) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, if any, such as gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business, acquisition-related income (expenses) and gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt.

Revenues

Net Premiums Earned. Net premiums earned increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in direct premiums earned, due primarily to higher IIF, partially offset by a net increase in ceded premiums under our reinsurance programs.

The table below provides additional information about the components of mortgage insurance net premiums earned for the periods indicated, including the effects of our reinsurance programs.

(1)Related to defaulted loans with the most recent default notice dated in the period indicated. For example, if a loan had defaulted in a prior period, but then subsequently cured and later re-defaulted in the current period, the default would be considered a current period default.

(2)Related to defaulted loans with a default notice dated in a period earlier than the period indicated, which have been continuously in default since that time.

(3)Provision for losses as a percentage of net premiums earned. See “Revenues—Net Premiums Earned” above for additional information on the changes in net premiums earned.

(4)Calculated by dividing provision for losses for new defaults, net of reinsurance, by new primary defaults for each period.

Current period new primary defaults increased by 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, as shown below, which is consistent with the natural seasoning of the portfolio given the increase in our IIF in recent years. Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption for new primary defaults was 8.0% at both March 31, 2024 and 2023, as we continue to closely monitor the trends in Cures and claims paid for our default inventory, while also weighing the risks and uncertainties associated with the current economic environment.

Our provision for losses during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the same period in 2023, was positively impacted by favorable reserve development on prior period defaults, primarily as a result of more favorable trends in Cures than originally estimated. These Cures have been due primarily to favorable outcomes resulting from positive trends in home price appreciation, which has also contributed to a higher rate of claims that result in no ultimate loss and that are withdrawn by servicers as a result. These favorable observed trends resulted in reductions in our Default to Claim Rate and other reserve adjustments, including our Claim Severity assumptions as of March 31, 2024, for prior year default notices.

See Note 11 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein for additional information, as well as Notes 1 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Our primary default rate as a percentage of total insured loans at March 31, 2024, was 2.1% compared to 2.2% at December 31, 2023. The following table shows a rollforward of our primary loans in default.

N/A – Not applicable

(1) Excludes pool and other reserves. See Note 11 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We develop our Default to Claim Rate estimates based primarily on models that use a variety of loan characteristics to determine the likelihood that a default will reach claim status. Our aggregate weighted average net Default to Claim Rate assumption for our primary loans used in estimating our reserve for losses, which is net of estimated Claim Denials and Rescissions, was 26% and 25% as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional details about our Default to Claim Rate assumptions.

Although expected claims are included in our reserve for losses, the timing of claims paid is subject to fluctuation from quarter to quarter based on the rate that defaults cure and other factors, including the impact of foreclosure moratoriums (as described in “Item 1. Business—Mortgage Insurance—Defaults and Claims” in our 2023 Form 10-K) that make the timing of paid claims difficult to predict.

Other Operating Expenses. The decrease in other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to a reduction in general operating expenses related to expense savings actions implemented during the past year, as well as an increase in the benefit from ceding commissions under Radian Guaranty’s QSR Program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.


Summary cash flows - Consolidated

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	51,044	$	116,778
Investing activities	(73,398)		(30,542)
Financing activities	31,114		(92,052)
Increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash	$	8,760	$	(5,816)

Operating Activities. Our most significant source of operating cash flows is from premiums received from our mortgage insurance policies, while our most significant uses of operating cash flows are typically for our operating expenses and claims paid on our mortgage insurance policies and taxes. In addition, our operating activities also include Radian Mortgage Capital’s purchases, sales and repayments of mortgage loans held for sale, which can fluctuate from period to period. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily due to increases in net purchases of mortgage loans held for sale in 2024, which increased by $99 million as compared to the same period last year.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of the increased cash provided by financing activities, as discussed below, resulting in more cash available to invest. This increase in available cash to invest was primarily deployed in the first quarter of 2024 for purchases, net of sales and redemptions, of short-term investments and fixed-maturities available for sale.

Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our primary financing activities impacting cash included: (i) issuance and redemption of our senior notes and (ii) an increase in secured borrowings. These net increases were partially offset by: (i) payment of dividends and (ii) repurchases of our common stock. See Notes 12 and 14 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our borrowings and share repurchases, respectively.

See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited)” for additional information.

Liquidity Analysis—Holding Company

Radian Group serves as the holding company for our operating subsidiaries and does not have any operations of its own. At March 31, 2024, Radian Group had available, either directly or through unregulated subsidiaries, unrestricted cash and liquid investments of $1.1 billion. Available liquidity at March 31, 2024, excludes certain additional cash and liquid investments that have been advanced to Radian Group from our subsidiaries to pay for corporate expenses and interest payments. Total liquidity, which includes our undrawn $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility, as described below, was $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Radian Group’s available liquidity increased by $102 million, due primarily to a $100 million ordinary dividend received from Radian Guaranty and the net impact of the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2029 and the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2025, partially offset primarily by payments for dividends and share repurchases, as described below.

In addition to available cash and marketable securities, Radian Group’s principal sources of cash to fund future liquidity needs include: (i) payments made to Radian Group by its subsidiaries under expense- and tax-sharing arrangements; (ii) net investment income earned on its cash and marketable securities; and (iii) to the extent available, dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries.

Radian Group has in place a $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, capital contributions to our insurance and other subsidiaries as well as growth initiatives. At March 31, 2024, the full $275 million remains undrawn and available under the facility. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on the unsecured revolving credit facility.


Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In connection with our Mortgage Conduit business, Radian Mortgage Capital has entered into the Master Repurchase Agreements. As of March 31, 2024, Radian Group has entered into three separate Parent Guarantees to guaranty the obligations under the Master Repurchase Agreements. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In addition to financing the acquisition of mortgage loan assets under the Master Repurchase Agreements, Radian Mortgage Capital may fund such purchases directly using capital contributed from Radian Group.

We expect Radian Group’s principal liquidity demands for the next 12 months to be: (i) the payment of corporate expenses, including taxes; (ii) the payment of $450 million principal amount of our outstanding Senior Notes due 2024; (iii) interest payments on our outstanding debt obligations; (iv) the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock, which are currently $0.245 per share, and which remain subject to approval by our board of directors and our ongoing assessment of our financial condition and potential needs related to the execution and implementation of our business plans and strategies; (v) the potential continued repurchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to share repurchase authorizations, as described below; and (vi) investments to support our business strategy, including capital contributions to our subsidiaries.

In addition to our ongoing short-term liquidity needs discussed above, our most significant need for liquidity beyond the next 12 months is the repayment of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior debt due in future years. See “Capitalization—Holding Company” below for details of our debt maturity profile.

Radian Group’s liquidity demands for the next 12 months or in future periods could also include: (i) early repurchases or redemptions of portions of our debt obligations and (ii) potential payments pursuant to the Parent Guarantees.

For additional information about related risks and uncertainties, see “Our sources of liquidity may be insufficient to fund our obligations” and “Radian Guaranty may fail to maintain its eligibility status with the GSEs, and the additional capital required to support Radian Guaranty’s eligibility could reduce our available liquidity” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

In addition to Radian Group’s existing sources of liquidity to fund its obligations, we may decide to seek additional capital, including by incurring additional debt, issuing additional equity, or selling assets, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, if at all.

Share Repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1.8 million shares of Radian Group common stock under a program authorized by Radian Group’s board of directors, at a total cost of $50 million, including commissions. See Note 14 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on our share repurchase programs.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. In February 2024, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized an increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.225 to $0.245 per share. Based on our outstanding shares of common stock and restricted stock units, we expect to require approximately $148 million in the aggregate to pay dividends and dividend equivalents for the next 12 months. So long as no default or event of default exists under our revolving credit facility or the Parent Guarantees, Radian Group is not subject to any legal or contractual limitations on its ability to pay dividends except those generally applicable to corporations that are incorporated in Delaware. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains subject to the board of directors’ discretion and determination.

Corporate Expenses and Interest Expense. Radian Group has expense-sharing arrangements in place with its principal operating subsidiaries that require those subsidiaries to pay their allocated share of certain holding-company-level expenses, including interest payments on Radian Group’s outstanding debt obligations. Corporate expenses and interest expense on Radian Group’s debt obligations allocated under these arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2024, of $38 million and $22 million, respectively, were substantially all reimbursed by its subsidiaries. We expect substantially all of our holding company expenses to continue to be reimbursed by our subsidiaries under our expense-sharing arrangements. The expense-sharing arrangements between Radian Group and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries, as amended, have been approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, but such approval may be modified or revoked at any time.

Taxes. Pursuant to our tax-sharing agreements, our operating subsidiaries pay Radian Group an amount equal to any federal income tax the subsidiary would have paid on a standalone basis if they were not part of our consolidated tax return. As a result, from time to time, under the provisions of our tax-sharing agreements, Radian Group may pay to or receive from its operating subsidiaries amounts that differ from Radian Group’s consolidated federal tax payment obligation. There were no tax-sharing agreement payments received by Radian Group from its subsidiaries during the three months ended March 31, 2024.


Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Capitalization—Holding Company

The following table presents our holding company capital structure.


Capital structure

(In thousands, except per-share amounts and ratios)	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Debt
Senior Notes due 2024	$	450,000		$	450,000
Senior Notes due 2025	—			525,000
Senior Notes due 2027	450,000			450,000
Senior Notes due 2029	625,000			—
Deferred debt costs on senior notes	(12,140)			(7,219)
Revolving credit facility	—			—
Total	1,512,860			1,417,781
Stockholders’ equity	4,439,732			4,397,805
Total capitalization	$	5,952,592		$	5,815,586
Holding company debt-to-capital ratio (1)	25.4		%	24.4		%

Shares outstanding	151,509			153,179
Book value per share	$	29.30		$	28.71

(1)Calculated as carrying value of senior notes, which were issued and are owed by our holding company, divided by carrying value of senior notes and stockholders’ equity. This holding company ratio does not include the effects of amounts owed by our subsidiaries related to secured borrowings.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $42 million from December 31, 2023, to March 31, 2024. The net increase in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulted primarily from our net income of $152 million, partially offset by: (i) share repurchases of $50 million, excluding related excise taxes due; (ii) dividend and dividend equivalents of $38 million; and (iii) a net increase in unrealized losses on investment securities of $32 million as a result of increases in market interest rates during the period. As of March 31, 2024, we did not expect to realize a loss for our investments in an unrealized loss position given our intent and ability to hold these investment securities until recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The increase in book value per share from $28.71 at December 31, 2023, to $29.30 at March 31, 2024, is primarily due to an increase of $0.99 per share attributable to our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by: (i) a decrease of $0.25 per share attributable to dividends and dividend equivalents and (ii) a decrease of $0.21 per share due to a net increase in unrealized losses in our available for sale securities, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

We regularly evaluate opportunities, based on market conditions, to finance our operations by accessing the capital markets or entering into other types of financing arrangements with institutional and other lenders. We also regularly consider various measures to improve our capital and liquidity positions, as well as to strengthen our balance sheet, improve Radian Group’s debt maturity profile and maintain adequate liquidity for our operations. Among other things, these measures may include borrowing agreements or arrangements, such as securities or other master repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities.

In the past we have repurchased or exchanged, prior to maturity, some of our outstanding debt, and in the future, we may from time to time seek to redeem, repurchase or exchange for other securities, or otherwise restructure or refinance some or all of our outstanding debt prior to maturity in the open market through other public or private transactions, including pursuant to one or more tender offers or through any combination of the foregoing, as circumstances may allow. The timing or amount of any potential transactions will depend on a number of factors, including market opportunities and our views regarding our capital and liquidity positions and potential future needs. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.

Mortgage Insurance

Historically, one of the primary demands for liquidity in our Mortgage Insurance business is the payment of claims, net of reinsurance, including from commutations and settlements. See Note 11 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated


Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Statements for information on our mortgage insurance reserve for losses and LAE, which represents our best estimate for the costs of settling future claims on currently defaulted mortgage loans.

Other principal demands for liquidity in our Mortgage Insurance business are expected to include: (i) expenses (including those allocated from Radian Group); (ii) repayments of FHLB advances; (iii) distributions from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, including returns of capital or recurring ordinary dividends, as discussed below; and (iii) taxes, including potential additional purchases of U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds. See Notes 10 and 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information related to these non-interest bearing instruments.

The principal sources of liquidity in our Mortgage Insurance business currently include insurance premiums, net investment income and cash flows from: (i) investment sales and maturities; (ii) FHLB advances; and (iii) if necessary, capital contributions from Radian Group. We believe that the operating cash flows generated by each of our mortgage insurance subsidiaries will provide these subsidiaries with the funds necessary to satisfy their needs for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2024, Radian Guaranty maintained claims paying resources of $6.2 billion on a statutory basis, which consist of contingency reserves, statutory policyholders’ surplus, premiums received but not yet earned and loss reserves. In addition, our reinsurance programs are designed to provide additional claims-paying resources during times of economic stress and elevated losses. See Note 8 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital as of March 31, 2024, was 10.2 to 1. Radian Guaranty is not expected to need additional capital to satisfy state insurance regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2024, Radian Guaranty had statutory policyholders’ surplus of $703 million. This balance includes a $750 million benefit from U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which mortgage guaranty insurers such as Radian Guaranty may purchase in order to be eligible for a tax deduction, subject to certain limitations, related to amounts required to be set aside in statutory contingency reserves. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information.

Radian Guaranty currently is an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs. Private mortgage insurers, including Radian Guaranty, are required to comply with the PMIERs to remain approved insurers of loans purchased by the GSEs. At March 31, 2024, Radian Guaranty’s Available Assets under the PMIERs financial requirements totaled $6.0 billion, resulting in a PMIERs Cushion of $2.3 billion, or 62%, over its Minimum Required Assets. Those amounts compare to Available Assets of $5.9 billion and a PMIERs cushion of $2.3 billion, or 62%, at December 31, 2023.

Despite holding assets above the minimum statutory capital thresholds and PMIERs financial requirements, the ability of Radian’s mortgage insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends on their common stock is restricted by certain provisions of the insurance laws of Pennsylvania, their state of domicile. Under Pennsylvania’s insurance laws, ordinary dividends and other distributions may only be paid out of an insurer’s positive unassigned surplus unless the Pennsylvania Insurance Department approves the payment of dividends or other distributions from another source. Radian Guaranty paid an ordinary dividend of $100 million to Radian Group in the first quarter of 2024 and expects to maintain the ability to pay additional ordinary dividends during the remainder of 2024. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on our statutory dividend restrictions and contingency reserve requirements.

Radian Guaranty is a member of the FHLB. As a member, it may borrow from the FHLB, subject to certain conditions, which include requirements to post collateral and to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB stock. Advances from the FHLB may be used to provide low-cost, supplemental liquidity for various purposes, including to fund incremental investments. Radian’s current strategy includes using FHLB advances as financing for general cash management and liquidity purposes. As of March 31, 2024, there were $79 million of FHLB advances outstanding. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

All Other

Additional capital support may also be required for potential investments in our other business initiatives to support our strategy of growing our businesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Radian Group made $30 million of additional equity contributions to support our Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses. During that same period, Radian Group also made $2 million of additional equity contributions to support our Mortgage Conduit business.

In the event the cash flows from operations of our All Other businesses continue to be insufficient to fund all of their needs, Radian Group may continue to provide additional funds in the form of additional capital contributions or other support. See “Investments to grow our existing businesses, pursue new lines of business or new products and services within existing lines of business subject us to additional risks and uncertainties” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.

Ratings

Ratings independently assigned by third-party statistical rating organizations often are considered in assessing our credit strength and the financial strength of our primary insurance subsidiaries. Radian Group, Radian Guaranty and Radian Title


Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Insurance are currently assigned the financial strength ratings set forth in the chart below, which are provided for informational purposes only and are subject to change. See “The current financial strength ratings assigned to our mortgage insurance subsidiaries could weaken our competitive position and potential downgrades by rating agencies to these ratings and the ratings assigned to Radian Group could adversely affect the Company” under “Item 1A.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As of the filing date of this report, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K. See Note 2 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that may impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, earnings, cash flows or disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market conditions. Examples of market risk include changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. We regularly analyze our exposure to interest rate risk and credit spread risk and have determined that the fair value of our investments is materially exposed to changes in both interest rates and credit spreads. See “Our success depends, in part, on our ability to manage risks in our investment portfolio” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Our market risk exposures at March 31, 2024, have not materially changed from those identified in our 2023
Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
