1. Description of Business
As a leading U.S. private mortgage insurer, Radian provides solutions that expand access to affordable, responsible and sustainable homeownership and help borrowers achieve their dream of owning a home. We have one reportable business segment, Mortgage Insurance.
In addition, we currently provide other solutions and services through our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. In the third quarter of 2025, we announced our plans to divest these businesses and reclassified them as discontinued operations. See “Discontinued Operations” below and Note 3 for additional information on the businesses to be divested.
Also in the third quarter of 2025, we announced that Radian Group had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Inigo, a Lloyd’s specialty insurer, as part of the Company’s transformative strategy to become a global multi-line specialty insurer. See “Inigo Acquisition” below for additional information on this pending acquisition.
We provide credit-related insurance coverage, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. We provide our mortgage insurance products and services 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 $280.6 billion and $74.0 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2025, compared to $275.1 billion and $72.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
As our primary mortgage insurance subsidiary, Radian Guaranty is subject to various capital, financial and operational requirements imposed by the GSEs and state insurance regulators. These include the PMIERs financial requirements imposed by the GSEs, as well as risk-to-capital and other risk-based capital measures and surplus requirements imposed by state insurance regulators. Failure to comply with any PMIERs or state regulatory requirements may limit the amount of insurance that Radian Guaranty may write or may prohibit it from writing insurance altogether. The GSEs and state insurance regulators possess significant discretion regarding all aspects of Radian Guaranty’s business. See Note 16 for additional information on PMIERs and other regulatory information.
Discontinued Operations
Following a comprehensive strategic review, which led to our decision to acquire Inigo, we announced the planned divestiture of our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses in September of 2025. This divestiture plan was approved by Radian Group’s board of directors in the third quarter of 2025 and is expected to be completed no later than the third quarter of 2026. Radian has engaged financial advisors to assist with the divestiture of these businesses. As the Company pursues the divestitures, we plan to continue to operate these businesses in the ordinary course.
As a result of the Company’s decision to sell these businesses and our assessment of applicable accounting guidance, we have classified these businesses as held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and have reflected their results as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, effective beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2025. All prior periods have been revised for these changes to conform to the current period presentation.
See Note 2 for information on the accounting policies related to this presentation and Note 3 for additional details related to these businesses.
Inigo Acquisition
In September 2025, Radian entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Inigo for a purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion in a primarily all-cash transaction, subject to adjustment based on the tangible net asset value of Inigo. The obligations of the parties to consummate the transaction are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including obtaining regulatory and other required approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 and to be funded from Radian’s available liquidity sources, including $600 million provided by Radian Guaranty through a ten-year intercompany loan to Radian Group. See Note 16 for additional information on this intercompany note.
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. As further described in Note 3, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation to reflect the reclassification of certain businesses as held for sale and discontinued operations. 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, 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 2024 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.
Held For Sale Classification
We report a business as held for sale when management has committed to a formal plan to sell the assets, the business is available for immediate sale and is being actively marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated, the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year, and it is deemed unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be
made or that the plan will be withdrawn. A business classified as held for sale is reflected at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to a business classified as held for sale are segregated in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale and any prior periods presented. After a business is classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization expense is not recognized on its assets.
We report the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if the business is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on our financial results. In the period in which the business meets the criteria of a discontinued operation, its results are reported in income or loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for current and prior periods, and include any required adjustment of the carrying amount to its fair value less cost to sell. In addition, tax is allocated between continuing operations and discontinued operations. The amount of tax allocated to discontinued operations is the difference between the tax originally allocated to continuing operations and the tax allocated to the reclassified amount of income from continuing operations in each period.
All amounts included in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Cash flows from discontinued operations are reported separately in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 3 for additional details about our discontinued operations and our held for sale assets and liabilities.
Other Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 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 2024 Form 10-K, other than those described above in “Held For Sale Classification” and “Discontinued Operations.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
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 have determined that the impacts of adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires enhanced disclosures of certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This update is applicable to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. 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.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use software, which introduces a principles-based approach for determining when costs can be capitalized. Entities are required to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Adoption is permitted prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Discontinued Operations
As further discussed in Note 1, in September 2025, Radian Group entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Inigo. As a result of the comprehensive strategic review that led to Radian’s decision to acquire Inigo, Radian Group’s board of directors also approved a plan to divest its Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses, which is expected to be completed no later than the third quarter of 2026.
In accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 2, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities associated with these businesses as held for sale and reflected their results as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, effective beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2025. We have reflected these changes for all prior periods presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation. No general corporate overhead or interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations. The Company expects to dispose of these businesses at their current carrying value and thus no gain or loss was recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
The assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations have been segregated in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the major components of the Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services assets and liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented.

4. 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 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.
The calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows.
Net income—basic and diluted

5. Segment Reporting
We currently have one reportable segment, Mortgage Insurance, which primarily derives its revenue by providing private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors.
In addition to this reportable segment, we previously reported in an All Other category activities that consisted of: (i) income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, our holding company; (ii) general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segment; and (iii) the results from certain other immaterial activities and operating segments, including our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. As further described in Note 3, in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a plan to divest our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. As a result, we have reclassified the results related to these businesses to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Certain corporate expenses that were previously allocated to these businesses, as well as other general corporate expenses and income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, were not reclassified to discontinued operations, and therefore have been reallocated to the Mortgage Insurance segment. While we historically have not managed assets by operating segments, the assets related to our non-reportable segments are now segregated as assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with all remaining assets related to our Mortgage Insurance segment.
See Note 1 for additional details about our Mortgage Insurance business.
Adjusted Pretax Operating Income (Loss)
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 our businesses.
The table below presents details on our Mortgage Insurance segment’s operating results, including a disaggregation of significant segment expenses as monitored by Radian’s chief operating decision maker.

The calculation of adjusted pretax operating income, as detailed below, excludes income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented herein.
Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as pretax income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments and (ii) 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, among others. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for detailed information regarding these 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) from continuing operations.

The reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income to pretax income from continuing operations is as follows.

There were 727 and 1,054 securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. We determined that these unrealized losses were due to non-credit factors and that, as of September 30, 2025, 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 2024 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 $134 million and $139 million of our investment
securities to third parties as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, including fixed-maturities, equity securities and short-term investments. 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 7 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 $21 million and $18 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, 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 6 herein for additional detail on the loaned securities and see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies with respect to our securities lending agreements and the collateral requirements thereunder.
Our investments include securities totaling $10 million and $8 million at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, that are on deposit and serving as collateral with various state regulatory authorities. Our fixed-maturities available for sale also include securities serving as collateral for our FHLB advances. See Note 12 for additional information about our FHLB advances.
8. Reinsurance
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 initial and ongoing credit that we receive under the PMIERs financial requirements for these risk distribution transactions is subject to the periodic review of the GSEs.
The effect of all of our reinsurance programs on our net premiums written and earned is as follows.

Radian Guaranty entered into each of the agreements under our QSR Program with panels of third-party reinsurance providers to cede a contractual quota share percentage of certain of our NIW (as set forth in the table below), subject to certain conditions.
Radian Guaranty receives a ceding commission for ceded premiums earned pursuant to these transactions and is also entitled to receive a profit commission either quarterly or annually, depending on the terms of the particular agreement, 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 is no longer ceding NIW under any of the QSR Program agreements prior to the 2025 QSR Agreement. Radian Guaranty has the option to discontinue ceding new policies under the 2025 QSR Agreement, as well as the 2026 and 2027 QSR Agreements once they are effective, at the end of any calendar quarter.

Mortgage Insurance-linked Notes
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).
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,
32
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.
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 2024 Form 10-K for more information on our accounting treatment of VIEs.
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 the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“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 amount of monthly reinsurance premiums ceded to the Eagle Re Issuers will fluctuate due to changes in one-month SOFR and changes in money market rates that affect investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trusts.
In the event an Eagle Re Issuer is unable to meet its future obligations to us, if any, Radian Guaranty would nonetheless 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.
The following table presents the total VIE assets and liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers as of the dates indicated.

Traditional Reinsurance
For the coverage period under our traditional XOL reinsurance agreement, 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. Radian Guaranty is then responsible for any losses in excess of the reinsurance coverage amount.
The 2023 XOL Agreement, which was executed in October 2023, is scheduled to terminate September 30, 2033. Radian Guaranty has the option to terminate the agreement under certain circumstances, including the option to terminate the agreement as of September 30, 2028, or at the end of any calendar quarter thereafter. Termination 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.

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 $304 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $283 million as of December 31, 2024.
In addition, under our QSR Program, Radian Guaranty holds amounts related to ceded premiums written to collateralize the reinsurers’ obligations, which are reported as reinsurance funds withheld in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain loss recoveries and profit commissions paid to Radian Guaranty related to the QSR Program are expected to be realized from this account. See Note 9 for additional detail on our reinsurance funds withheld balances.

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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our current federal income tax liability 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. See Note 9 for detail on the components of our other liabilities.
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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we held $1.0 billion and $921 million, respectively, 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.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted, which introduced permanent changes to the U.S. tax code. Among other items, and most relevant to Radian, the Act reinstates and makes permanent 100% bonus depreciation and restores the immediate expensing for domestic research and experimentation costs. This new legislation will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
For information on income taxes related to discontinued operations, see Notes 2 and 3. For additional information on our income taxes, including our accounting policies, see Notes 2 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

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 37,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 36,568 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of 2%.
Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption applied to new defaults was 7.5% and 8.0% as of September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, 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 nine months of 2025 and 2024 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
36
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 of the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, including our Claim Severity assumptions in 2024.
Claims Paid
Total claims paid were slightly higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, consistent with the natural seasoning of our insured portfolio.
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 2024 Form 10-K.

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 investments include securities totaling $65 million and $49 million at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, which serve as collateral for our FHLB advances to satisfy this requirement.
Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2025, Radian Group had in place a $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. During the second quarter of 2025, we borrowed and repaid in full $50 million under this facility. As of September 30, 2025, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.
On November 4, 2025, Radian Group entered into an amended and restated credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders, led by Royal Bank of Canada and Citizens Bank, to, among other things, increase the committed borrowing capacity to $500 million. The amended and restated credit facility has a maturity date of November 4, 2030. The amended and restated credit facility also includes an accordion feature that allows Radian Group, at its option, to increase the total borrowing capacity by $250 million, so long as Radian receives commitments from lenders. Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the credit facility may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and growth initiatives.
Debt Covenants and Other Information
As of September 30, 2025, 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 2024 Form 10-K and Note 3 herein.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
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.
See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for further information regarding our commitments and contingencies and our accounting policies for contingencies.

Share Repurchase Activity
From time to time, Radian Group’s board of directors approves and authorizes 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. As of September 30, 2025, Radian had two outstanding share repurchase authorizations in effect, as further discussed below. Radian generally executes its share repurchases pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”), which permits the Company to purchase shares when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so.
As part of the overall cash management strategy to ensure adequate funds for the purchase price for the planned acquisition of Inigo, Radian has paused its share repurchases. See Note 1 for additional information on the acquisition of Inigo. The Company may engage in share repurchases again in the future.
Under the first share repurchase authorization, which commenced in January 2023 and is scheduled to expire in June 2026, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares up to $900 million, excluding commissions. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased 13.4 million shares at an average price of $32.06 per share, including commissions, pursuant to this share repurchase authorization. The Company did not purchase any shares under this authorization in the three months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, purchase authority of up to $113 million remained available under this authorization.
In May 2025, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized a second repurchase authorization to purchase shares up to an additional $750 million, excluding commissions. Under this second authorization, the full amount remained available as of September 30, 2025. Use of this authorization will commence once the first authorization is exhausted or expires. This second authorization is scheduled to expire in December 2027
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. Unless otherwise noted, 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.

Dividend equivalents are accrued on RSUs when dividends are declared on the Company’s common stock and are typically paid upon vesting of the shares. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for information about our dividend equivalents on RSU awards.
Share-Based and Other Compensation Programs
During the second quarter of 2025, certain executive and non-executive officers were granted time-vested and performance-based RSUs to be settled in shares of Radian common stock. The maximum payout of performance-based RSUs at the end of the three-year performance period is 200% of a grantee’s target number of RSUs granted. Performance-based RSUs granted to executive officers are subject to a one-year post-vesting holding period. The table below provides additional details on vesting and other performance conditions associated with our RSUs.

The time-vested RSU awards granted in the second quarter of 2025 as part of our annual equity grant to certain executive and non-executive officers generally vest in pro rata installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, time-vested RSU awards, which are generally subject to one-year cliff vesting, were also granted to non-employee directors.
See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s share-based and other compensation programs.

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 maintain a minimum policyholder position, which is calculated based on both risk and surplus levels (“MPP Requirement”). Radian Guaranty was in compliance with all applicable Statutory RBC Requirements and MPP Requirements in each of the RBC States as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital was 10.4:1 and 10.2:1 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, 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 insurance subsidiaries were also in compliance with all statutory and counterparty capital requirements as of September 30, 2025, and December 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 September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, the amount of restricted net assets held by our consolidated insurance subsidiaries (which represents our equity investment in those insurance subsidiaries) totaled $4.5 billion of our consolidated net assets.
While all proposed dividends and distributions to stockholders must be filed with the Pennsylvania Insurance Department before payment, if a Pennsylvania domiciled insurer has positive unassigned surplus, such insurer can generally pay dividends or other distributions out of unassigned surplus 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 has maintained positive unassigned surplus during 2025, providing it with the ability to pay ordinary dividends throughout the year, subject to the above restrictions under Pennsylvania’s insurance laws. Additionally, statutory accounting principles permit insurance companies with positive unassigned funds, such as Radian Guaranty, to return capital through distributions from paid in surplus, not just distributions as dividends from unassigned surplus. Under Pennsylvania insurance laws, an insurer must receive approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to account for a distribution as a return of capital. Radian Guaranty sought and received such approval to treat its $200 million distribution to Radian Group in the first quarter of 2025 as a return of capital from paid in surplus. As a result, during the first quarter of 2025, Radian Guaranty’s common stock and paid in surplus balance declined from $500 million to $300 million, while its positive unassigned surplus increased to $408 million.
Based on its positive unassigned surplus balance as of March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty paid ordinary dividends to Radian Group of $200 million in each of the second and third quarters of 2025. Subsequent to the payment of these dividends, as of September 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty had positive unassigned surplus of $361 million. As a result, and based on the general dividend restrictions noted above, including Radian Guaranty’s 2024 statutory net income amount, Radian Guaranty maintains the ability to pay an additional ordinary dividend of $195 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Radian Group plans to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the Inigo acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, with proceeds of a 10-year borrowing to be made by Radian Group from Radian Guaranty, pursuant to a $600 million intercompany note that has been approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. Radian Guaranty will be required to comply with certain conditions while this intercompany note is outstanding, including, most notably, obtaining prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for all dividends paid by Radian Guaranty for a period of three years (which we may request to be reduced or the Pennsylvania Insurance Department may, in certain circumstances, extend for up to five years) and maintaining a minimum policyholders’ surplus of $500 million, among other conditions.
For a full description of our compliance with statutory and other regulations for our insurance businesses, including statutory capital requirements and dividend restrictions, see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates
As a leading U.S. private mortgage insurer, Radian provides solutions that expand access to affordable, responsible and sustainable homeownership and helps borrowers achieve their dream of owning a home. We have 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.
In addition to this reportable segment, we previously reported in an All Other category activities that consisted of: (i) income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, our holding company; (ii) general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segment; and (iii) the results from certain other immaterial activities and operating segments, including our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. As further described in Notes 1 and 3 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, following a comprehensive strategic review, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a plan to divest our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. As a result, we have reclassified the results related to these businesses to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Also in the third quarter of 2025, following the comprehensive strategic review, we announced that Radian Group had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Inigo, a Lloyd’s specialty insurer, as part of the Company’s planned strategic transformation to a global multi-line specialty insurer. See Note 1 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on this pending acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
Consistent with the trends observed in recent periods, the economic and market conditions impacting our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, remained generally favorable. We are monitoring trends in different credit
Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
asset classes, including recent reports of stress in certain asset classes, however the loans in our portfolio and loans in the broader conventional mortgage segment continue to perform well. We continue to experience strong cure activity and low claims levels. See also “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional discussion of the primary factors affecting the operating environment for our businesses. Despite risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 10-K and in this report, our outlook on the mortgage insurance business remains positive.
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 2024 Form 10-K. There were no significant regulatory developments impacting our businesses from those discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, other than the following.
Credit Score Models. In October 2022, the FHFA announced that as part of a multi-year effort, the GSEs intended to replace their use of Classic FICO credit scores with FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0 credit scores, which are intended to improve accuracy by capturing additional payment histories for borrowers when available, such as rent, utilities and telecom payments. On July 8, 2025, FHFA announced that the GSEs will allow lenders to use a credit score generated by either the Classic FICO model or the VantageScore 4.0 model. As a mortgage insurer, Radian Guaranty uses credit scores in several areas of its operations and adoption of the new credit scores requires planning and analysis to, among other things, understand how these scores calibrate to Radian Guaranty’s credit risk models. The Company is evaluating the impact of this most recent announcement, and while we expect there to be operational impacts, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Mortgage Insurance Income Tax Deduction for Borrowers. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), which became effective July 4, 2025, makes permanent an income tax deduction for mortgage insurance premiums paid by borrowers, including private mortgage insurance premiums, and makes that deduction effective beginning in 2026. The mortgage insurance tax deduction in the Act reinstates a deduction for taxpayers that had previously been in effect from 2007 through 2021, and which is expected to help support affordable homeownership by reducing costs for eligible low down payment borrowers.
Recent Developments
On November 4, 2025, Radian Group entered into an agreement to amend and restate its unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders, led by Royal Bank of Canada and Citizens Bank. The amended and restated facility increases the committed borrowing capacity to $500 million and has a maturity date of November 4, 2030. The credit facility amends and restates Radian’s previously existing $275 million facility, and includes an accordion feature that allows Radian Group, at its option, to increase the total borrowing capacity by $250 million, so long as Radian receives commitments from lenders. Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the credit facility may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and growth initiatives.
The key factors affecting our results are discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these key factors.
New Insurance Written
We wrote $15.5 billion and $39.3 billion of primary new mortgage insurance in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $13.5 billion and $38.9 billion of NIW in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, representing an increase of 15% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and an increase of 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, each as compared to the same period in 2024.
According to industry estimates, mortgage origination volume for home purchases increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, contributing to the increase in NIW in the third quarter of 2025.
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).

The primary driver of the future premiums that we expect to earn over time is our IIF, which increases as a result of our NIW and decreases as a result of policy cancellations and amortization.
Historically, there is a close correlation between interest rates and Persistency Rates. Higher interest rate environments generally decrease refinancings, which decreases the cancellation rate of our insurance and positively affects our Persistency Rates. As shown in the table below, our 12-month Persistency Rate at September 30, 2025, was relatively flat as compared to September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2025, approximately half of our IIF had a mortgage note interest rate of 5.0% or less, which remains below the current prevailing mortgage interest rates based on reported industry averages. If mortgage rates were to decrease, however, refinance volumes could increase, which could have a negative impact on our Persistency Rate and 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 2024 Form 10-K for more information.
The following table provides selected information as of and for the periods indicated related to mortgage insurance IIF and RIF. 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).

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.
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 2024 Form 10-K and Note 8 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for more information about our reinsurance transactions.

See “Results of Operations—Consolidated—Revenues—Net Premiums Earned” for information about the impact on premiums earned from each of Radian Guaranty’s reinsurance programs.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, primarily reflect the financial results and performance of our Mortgage Insurance business.
As further described in Note 3 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a plan to divest our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. As a result, we have reclassified the results related to these businesses to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and no longer present results within an All Other category. Certain corporate expenses that were previously allocated to these businesses, as well as other general corporate expenses and income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, were not reclassified to discontinued operations, and therefore have been reallocated to the Mortgage Insurance segment.
All amounts included in this “Results of Operations–-Consolidated” section relate to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
In addition to the results of our reportable segment, pretax income (loss) from continuing operations 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 2024 Form 10-K.
The following table summarizes our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated.

Net investment income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily driven by declines in average investment balances and lower investment yields. The decline in average balances was primarily driven by the redemption of our $450 million senior notes in September 2024. See Note 7 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for comparative detail about the components of our net investment income.

The increase in the provision for losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, is primarily driven by a reduction in favorable development on prior period defaults, which impacted our mortgage insurance reserves.
As shown in the table below, current period new primary defaults were relatively flat for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption for new primary defaults was 7.5% and 8.0% at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the same periods in 2024, 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 have resulted in reductions in our Default to Claim Rate and other reserve adjustments for prior year default notices, including our Claim Severity assumptions in 2024.
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 in our 2024 Form 10-K, and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein and in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Our primary default rate as a percentage of total insured loans was 2.4% at both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. The following table shows a rollforward of our primary loans in default.

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 24% and 23% as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 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 (as described in “Item 1. Business—Mortgage Insurance—Defaults and Claims” in our 2024 Form 10-K) that make the timing of paid claims difficult to predict.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses were relatively flat for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, as favorable impacts from lower non-personnel expenses as a result of expense reduction initiatives and higher ceding commissions from QSR agreements were offset by increases in performance-based variable and share-based incentive compensation expenses.

Share-based incentive compensation expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to increases in the projected payouts associated with performance-based RSUs. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information about our share-based compensation programs.
Other general operating expenses decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily as a result of continued expense saving actions. Other general operating expenses also included the following expenses: (i) $9 million of acquisition-related expenses for the pending acquisition of Inigo in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and (ii) $10 million of impairments of internal-use software in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
55
Interest Expense. The decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, is primarily due to a decline in senior notes outstanding due to the redemption in March 2024 of $525 million of senior notes. The nine months ended September 30, 2024, also included a $4 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of these senior notes. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail about our interest expense.
Income Tax Provision
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.
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 23.1% and 22.2%, respectively, as compared to 22.3% and 21.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the effects of non-deductible executive compensation expense and state income taxes were the primary drivers of the difference in our effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the results of our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The loss from discontinued operations in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, included $7 million of estimated costs related to the expected future sale of these businesses. See Note 3 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements for additional details.
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 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) from continuing operations, 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 our businesses. For detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss) and the reasons for their treatment, both in our 2024 Form 10-K, 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.”
Beginning with the first quarter of 2025, when calculating adjusted diluted net operating income per share and adjusted net operating return on equity, the Company no longer adjusts for the difference between the Company’s statutory and effective tax rates to calculate those non-GAAP financial measures using the Company’s federal statutory tax rate of 21%. The impact of this incremental adjustment for the difference between the Company’s statutory and effective tax rates has been immaterial in recent periods because the number and magnitude of non-recurring fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate have declined in recent years. As such, the Company believes that this incremental adjustment for the difference between
56
the two rates is no longer meaningful to users of our financial statements. We have reflected this change in our calculations of adjusted diluted net operating income per share and adjusted net operating return on equity for all periods presented herein. As it relates to the impact of reconciling income (expense) items included in these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company continues to reflect these items on a gross basis and calculates the income tax provision (benefit) on these items using the Company’s federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
Effective in the third quarter of 2025, the results of our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented herein. The calculation of adjusted pretax operating income, as detailed below, excludes income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented herein. As a result, the calculations of adjusted diluted net operating income per share and adjusted net operating return on equity also exclude income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented herein.
Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP pretax income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments and (ii) 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, among others.
The following table provides a reconciliation of pretax income from continuing operations to our non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted pretax operating income.
Reconciliation of pretax income from continuing operations to adjusted pretax operating income
Less: income (expense) items
Adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing adjusted pretax operating income (loss), net of taxes computed using the Company’s effective tax rate, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As discussed above, for purposes of this non-GAAP financial measure, the income tax provision (benefit) on the reconciling income (expense) items is calculated using the Company’s federal statutory tax rate. The following table provides a reconciliation of diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations per share to our non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share.

Operating Activities. Our most significant source of operating cash flows from continuing operations is from premiums received from our mortgage insurance policies, while our most significant uses of operating cash flows have typically been for our operating expenses, taxes and claims paid on our mortgage insurance policies. The increase in cash provided by operating activities, continuing operations, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to a decrease in the purchases of U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds in 2025. Net cash flows used in operating activities from discontinued operations primarily relate to net purchases and sales of mortgage loans held for sale.
Investing Activities. The change in net cash used in investing activities, continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to cash provided by investing activities, continuing operations in the same period in 2024, was primarily driven by an increase in purchases, net of sales and redemptions on short-term investments, partially offset by a decrease in purchases net of sales and redemptions of available for sale securities. Net cash provided by investing activities, discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by principal payments from securitized residential mortgage loans held for investment.
Financing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our primary use of cash for financing activities, continuing operations included: (i) repurchases of our common stock and (ii) payment of dividends. See Notes 14 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Net cash provided by financing activities, discontinued operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by: (i) the net proceeds from the issuance of securitized nonrecourse debt and (ii) the net change in borrowings related to funding from mortgage loan financing facilities.
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 September 30, 2025, Radian Group had available, either directly or through unregulated subsidiaries, unrestricted
cash and liquid investments of $995 million. Total liquidity was $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, and included our undrawn unsecured revolving credit facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Radian Group’s available liquidity increased by $110 million, primarily due to $600 million received from Radian Guaranty, consisting of a $200 million return of capital and $400 million of ordinary dividends, partially offset by $541 million paid for share repurchases and dividends, as described below. See Note 16 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these distributions.
In addition to available cash and marketable securities, including net investment income earned on such investments, 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) proceeds from a 10-year, $600 million intercompany borrowing from Radian Guaranty that we plan to enter into to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Inigo acquisition; and (iii) to the extent available, dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries.
At September 30, 2025, Radian Group had in place a $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. At September 30, 2025, the full $275 million was available under the facility. On November 4, 2025, this credit facility was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the committed availability to $500 million. The amended and restated revolving credit facility matures in November 2030. 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. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on the unsecured revolving credit facility.
In connection with our Mortgage Conduit business, Radian Mortgage Capital has entered into the Master Repurchase Agreements to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans and related mortgage loan assets, which are included in assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the ordinary course of its business, Radian Mortgage Capital expects to renew the Master Repurchase Agreements on or prior to expiration and/or to enter into new agreements to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans and related mortgage loan assets. As of September 30, 2025, Radian Group has entered into four separate Parent Guarantees to guaranty the obligations under the Master Repurchase Agreements, which we expect would terminate upon any sale of the Mortgage Conduit business. See Note 3 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) investments to support our business strategy and to expand and diversify our revenue streams, including the pending $1.7 billion acquisition of Inigo and, if needed, capital contributions to our subsidiaries; (ii) the payment of corporate expenses, including taxes; (iii) interest payments on our outstanding debt obligations; and (iv) the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock, which are currently $0.255 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Radian Group made $30 million and $60 million, respectively, of additional equity contributions to support our Title and Real Estate Services businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Radian Group made $70 million of equity contributions to facilitate the growth of our Mortgage Conduit business. No such contributions were made to our Mortgage Conduit business during the same period in 2025.
In the event the cash flows from operations of our businesses held for sale 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 develop new products and services within existing lines of business subject us to additional risks and uncertainties” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
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 and the $600 million that we plan to borrow from Radian Guaranty to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Inigo acquisition. 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) potential repurchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to share repurchase authorizations, as described below; (ii) early repurchases or redemptions of portions of our debt obligations; and (iii) potential payments pursuant to the Parent Guarantees.
For additional information about related risks and uncertainties, see “Funding the Inigo acquisition will result in an immediate reduction in our liquidity and Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs cushion and will subject us to certain conditions and compliance obligations associated with the intercompany borrowing agreement between Radian Group and Radian Guaranty, which could adversely affect us and our financial condition” herein under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “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 2024 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.
Inigo Acquisition. The Company plans to fund the $1.7 billion acquisition of Inigo through a combination of: (i) proceeds from a 10-year, $600 million intercompany borrowing from Radian Guaranty and (ii) $1.1 billion from Radian Group’s liquidity at the time of closing, which may include accessing our unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed.
Share Repurchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 13.4 million shares of Radian Group common stock under programs authorized by Radian Group’s board of directors, at a total cost of $430 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 2025, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized an increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.245 to $0.255 per share. Based on our outstanding shares of common stock and our current dividend level, we would require approximately $138 million in aggregate to pay dividends for the next 12 months, plus an incremental amount for dividend equivalents that will fluctuate based on final shares vested under our performance-based RSU programs. 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, level 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, of $125 million and $49 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, as amended, between Radian Group and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries 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 $34 million of tax-sharing agreement payments received by Radian Group from its subsidiaries during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $29 million from December 31, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The net increase in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulted primarily from: (i) our net income of $428 million and (ii) a net decrease in unrealized losses on investment securities of $124 million as a result of decreases in market interest rates during the period. These factors were partially offset by: (i) share repurchases of $430 million, excluding related excise taxes due and (ii) dividend and dividend equivalents of $110 million.
The increase in book value per share from $31.33 at December 31, 2024, to $34.34 at September 30, 2025, is primarily due to: (i) an increase of $2.90 per share attributable to our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and (ii) an increase of $0.84 per share due to a net decrease in unrealized losses in our available for sale securities, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset primarily by a decrease of $0.75 per share attributable to dividends and dividend equivalents.
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.
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 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, recurring ordinary dividends and the intercompany borrowing by Radian Group related to the pending Inigo acquisition; and (iv) 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 2024 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 and (ii) FHLB advances. We believe that the operating cash flows generated by Radian Guaranty, as well as our other immaterial mortgage insurance subsidiaries, will provide them with the funds necessary to satisfy their respective needs for the foreseeable future. Future sources of liquidity also are expected to include interest payments from Radian Group on the $600 million intercompany borrowing that we plan to enter into to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Inigo acquisition and may also include, if necessary, capital contributions from Radian Group.
As of September 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty maintained claims paying resources of $6.1 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 September 30, 2025, was 10.4 to 1. Radian Guaranty is not expected to need additional capital to satisfy state insurance regulatory requirements in their current form. At September 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty had statutory policyholders’ surplus of $661 million. This balance includes a $1.0 billion 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. Both in our 2024 Form 10-K, see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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” 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 September 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty’s Available Assets under the PMIERs financial requirements totaled $6.0 billion, resulting in a PMIERs Cushion of $1.9 billion, or 46%, over its Minimum Required Assets. Those amounts compare to Available Assets of $6.0 billion and a PMIERs Cushion of $2.2 billion, or 56%, at December 31, 2024. See “Funding the Inigo acquisition will result in an immediate reduction in our liquidity and Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs cushion and will subject us to certain conditions and compliance obligations associated with the intercompany borrowing agreement between Radian Group and Radian Guaranty, which could adversely affect us and our financial condition” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
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 received approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to make a return of capital distribution to Radian Group of $200 million during the first three months of 2025 from its paid in surplus. In each of the second and third quarters of 2025, Radian Guaranty paid $200 million in ordinary dividends to Radian Group, and we expect Radian Guaranty to maintain the ability to pay dividends during the remainder of 2025 and for the foreseeable future.
As noted above, Radian Group plans to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the Inigo acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, with proceeds of a 10-year borrowing to be made by Radian Group from Radian Guaranty, pursuant to a $600 million intercompany note that has been approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. Radian Guaranty will be required to comply with certain conditions while this intercompany note is outstanding, including, most notably, obtaining prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for all dividends paid by Radian Guaranty for a period of three years (which we may request to be reduced or the Pennsylvania Insurance Department may, in certain
63
circumstances, extend for up to five years) and maintaining a minimum policyholders’ surplus of $500 million, among other conditions.
See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 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 September 30, 2025, there were $60 million of FHLB advances outstanding. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 and Radian Guaranty 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 “Potential downgrades by rating agencies to the current financial strength ratings assigned to Radian Guaranty and/or the credit ratings assigned to Radian Group could adversely affect the Company” under “Item 1A.

Except as described below, as of the filing date of this report, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2024 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.
Held For Sale Classification. We report a business as held for sale when management has committed to a formal plan to sell the assets, the business is available for immediate sale and is being actively marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated, the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year, and it is deemed unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. A business classified as held for sale is reflected at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to a business classified as held for sale are segregated in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale and any prior periods presented. After a business is classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization expense is not recognized on its assets.
Discontinued Operations. We report the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if the business is classified as held for sale, and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on our financial results. In the period in which the business meets the criteria of a discontinued operation, its results are reported in income or loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for current and prior periods, and include any required adjustment of the carrying amount to its fair value less cost to sell. In addition, tax is allocated between continuing operations and discontinued operations. The amount of tax allocated to discontinued operations is the difference between the tax
originally allocated to continuing operations and the tax allocated to the reclassified amount of income from continuing operations in each period.
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 2024 Form 10-K.
Our market risk exposures at September 30, 2025, related to our investments, primarily relate to interest rate and credit risk and have not materially changed from those identified in our 2024 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.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. 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. See Note 13 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding legal actions and proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks that could cause actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We also note that primary and secondary impacts of recent regulatory and legislative actions, tariffs and trade policies, and most recently the government shutdown, as well as legal challenges and responses thereto, have impacted, among other things, the macroeconomic environment and regulatory policies. In addition, reductions in staffing as well as changes in leadership at several government agencies, including the FHFA and FHA, and the GSEs, are influencing changes in federal housing policies and the housing finance system and have resulted in changes to the business practices of the GSEs. Accordingly, the impact of recent regulatory and legislative actions and other actions of the current presidential administration on, among other things, the macroeconomic environment and regulatory and government policies could exacerbate the other risks and uncertainties set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 10-K and in this report.
Risks Related to the Planned Inigo Acquisition
Closing of the Inigo acquisition is subject to certain conditions that may not be satisfied or waived, and the acquisition may not be completed, on the anticipated timeline or at all.
As previously disclosed, on September 18, 2025, Radian Group and Radian US entered into a share purchase deed (the “Inigo Purchase Agreement”) with the A Share Sellers (as defined therein), the B Share Management Sellers (as defined therein) and the Zedra Trust Company (Guernsey) Limited, a company incorporated in Guernsey, acting in its capacity as trustee of the employee benefit trust and nominee for each B Share Management Seller (together with the B Share Management Sellers and the A Share Sellers, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which Radian US has agreed to acquire all of the shares of Inigo for aggregate consideration of $1.7 billion (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain adjustments described in the Inigo Purchase Agreement, including the ability of the Company to terminate the agreement if Inigo’s performance would result in the purchase price being adjusted below $1.65 billion.
The obligations of the parties to consummate the transaction are subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including that Radian US obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and the Sellers having delivered to Radian US a letter from the facility agent under a letter of credit facility agreement dated November 3, 2021, waiving the change of control clause under the letter of credit agreement.
The failure to satisfy the required conditions on a timely basis or at all, or a decline in Inigo’s performance warranting a material adjustment in the Purchase Price could delay the closing of the Inigo acquisition or result in termination of the Inigo Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance that the closing conditions will be satisfied or waived or that the transaction will be completed. Any delay or failure to complete the Inigo acquisition could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits from the transaction and have a material adverse effect on our business strategy, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks associated with our planned acquisition of Inigo and our ability to successfully execute our strategic transformation into a global multi-line specialty insurer.
The acquisition of Inigo is part of our planned strategic shift to transform the Company into a global multi-line specialty insurer and exposes us to certain risks that may negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. These risks include: potential diversion of the attention of either party’s management from regular ongoing business operations; significant unknown or inestimable liabilities associated with Inigo; uncertainty about the expected future financial performance and results of Inigo and its businesses following completion of the acquisition; the possibility that we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction including the expected financial impact of the Inigo acquisition on us, capital efficiencies and benefits of scale and non-correlated diversification; our ability to comply with new regulatory requirements and manage international operations; and risks associated with the geographic expansion of our employee base, including any inability to maintain an effective Company culture and to attract, hire, and retain key and highly skilled personnel and to motivate them to perform.
Funding the Inigo acquisition will result in an immediate reduction in our liquidity and Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs cushion and will subject us to certain conditions and compliance obligations associated with the intercompany borrowing agreement between Radian Group and Radian Guaranty, which could adversely affect us and our financial condition.
Radian Group plans to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the Inigo acquisition with proceeds of a 10-year, $600 million intercompany borrowing from Radian Guaranty, which is planned to be entered into on or before the closing of the Inigo transaction. As a condition to receiving the Pennsylvania Insurance Department’s approval for the intercompany borrowing, the Company has agreed to provide certain enhanced reporting to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department while the intercompany borrowing is outstanding and to prepay the borrowing prior to maturity, in whole or in part, if Radian Guaranty needs additional liquidity to meet its policyholder obligations. Additionally, Radian Guaranty will be required to comply with certain conditions while the intercompany borrowing is outstanding, including, most notably, obtaining prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for all dividends paid by Radian Guaranty for a period of at least three years and no more than five years, and maintaining a minimum policyholders’ surplus of $500 million. Absent other actions, we expect the intercompany borrowing to reduce Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs cushion by the principal amount of the note.
In addition to the proceeds from the intercompany borrowing, the Company plans to use cash or liquid investments on its balance sheet, and may also use borrowings under its revolving credit facility or obtain other sources of financing or use other available funding, to pay the remaining portion of the cash consideration for the Inigo acquisition, which will reduce the Company’s liquidity and available liquidity post-closing. Further, as discussed above, the conditions in place while the intercompany borrowing is outstanding could reduce or delay the payment of dividends from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, which could further negatively impact Radian Group’s liquidity and financial flexibility.
Our use of cash and the intercompany borrowing to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Inigo acquisition and the resulting reduction in our liquidity and Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs cushion, may, among other things, limit our flexibility to pursue other business opportunities, increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, or negatively impact our credit ratings. We also may pursue financing transactions to raise capital, increase our liquidity and strengthen our financial position, which transactions may be unavailable to us on attractive terms or at all.
Risks Related to the Divestiture of our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services Businesses
We face risks associated with our decision to divest our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these strategic divestitures.
We face risks associated with our decision to divest our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses including: (i) the ability to complete any or all of the divestiture transactions, on the anticipated timeline or at all, including as a result of risks and uncertainties related to securing necessary regulatory and third-party approvals and consents; (ii) any impact of the decision to divest these businesses on our ability to attract, hire and retain key and highly skilled personnel; (iii) any disruption of current plans and operations caused by the decision to divest these businesses, making it more difficult to conduct business as usual or maintain relationships with current or future service providers, customers, employees, vendors and financing sources; (iv) exposure to unanticipated liabilities (including, among other things, those arising from representations and warranties made to a buyer regarding the businesses) or ongoing obligations to support the businesses following such divestitures; and (v) the terms, timing, structure, benefits and costs of any divestiture transaction for each of the businesses.
For these and other reasons there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses at a price and on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, if the sale of any or all of these businesses cannot be completed, there can be no assurance that we will achieve an alternative exit strategy within the anticipated timeline, or at all. If we fail to complete the strategic divestitures, it could cause the potential diversion of management’s attention and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
