—Safe Harbor Provisions
—Safe Harbor Provisions
All statements in this report that address events, developments or results that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or the negative or other variations on these words and other similar expressions. These statements, which may include, without limitation, projections regarding our future performance and financial condition, are made on the basis of management’s current views and assumptions with respect to future events. These statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We operate in a changing environment where new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks that may affect us. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and the forward-looking statements, as well as our prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:
■the health of the U.S. housing market generally and changes in economic conditions that impact the size of the insurable mortgage market, the credit performance of our insured mortgage portfolio and our business prospects, including as a result of inflationary pressures from a rising interest rate environment and the potential for a recession and higher unemployment rates, as well as other macroeconomic stresses such as those that may arise from the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and government control responses to the pandemic as well as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict;
■changes in the way customers, investors, ratings agencies, regulators or legislators perceive our performance, financial strength and future prospects;
■Radian Guaranty’s ability to remain eligible under the PMIERs and other applicable requirements imposed by the FHFA and by the GSEs to insure loans purchased by the GSEs;
■our ability to maintain an adequate level of capital in our insurance subsidiaries to satisfy existing and future regulatory requirements;
■changes in the charters or business practices of, or rules or regulations imposed by or applicable to, the GSEs or loans purchased by the GSEs, which may include changes in furtherance of housing policy objectives such as the accessibility and affordability of homeownership for low- and moderate-income borrowers and underrepresented communities, or changes in the requirements for Radian Guaranty to remain an approved insurer to the GSEs, such as changes in the PMIERs or the GSEs’ interpretation and application of the PMIERs;
■the effects of the Enterprise Capital Framework, which establishes a new regulatory capital framework for the GSEs, and which, as finalized, increases the capital requirements for the GSEs, and among other things, could impact the GSEs’ operations and pricing as well as the size of the insurable mortgage market, and which may form the basis for future changes to the PMIERs;
■changes in the current housing finance system in the United States, including the roles of the FHA, the GSEs and private mortgage insurers in this system;
■our ability to successfully execute and implement our capital plans, including our risk distribution strategy through the capital markets and traditional reinsurance markets, and to maintain sufficient holding company liquidity to meet our liquidity needs;
■our ability to successfully execute and implement our business plans and strategies, including plans and strategies that may require GSE and/or regulatory approvals and licenses, are subject to complex compliance requirements that we may be unable to satisfy, or may expose us to new risks including those that could impact our capital and liquidity positions;
■uncertainty from the discontinuance of LIBOR and transition to one or more alternative benchmarks that could cause interest rate volatility and, among other things, impact our investment portfolio, cost of debt and cost of reinsurance through mortgage insurance-linked notes transactions;
■risks related to the quality of third-party mortgage underwriting and mortgage servicing;
■a decrease in the Persistency Rates of our mortgage insurance on Monthly Premium Policies;
■competition in the private mortgage insurance industry generally, and more specifically: price competition in our mortgage insurance business, including the increasing prevalence of formulaic, granular risk-based pricing methodologies that are less transparent than historical rate-card-based pricing practices; and competition from the FHA and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as well as from other forms of credit enhancement, such as GSE-sponsored alternatives to traditional mortgage insurance;
7
■legislative and regulatory activity (or inactivity), including the adoption of (or failure to adopt) new laws and regulations, or changes in existing laws and regulations, or the way they are interpreted or applied;
■legal and regulatory claims, assertions, actions, reviews, audits, inquiries and investigations that could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, injunctions, restitutions or other relief that could require significant expenditures, new or increased reserves or have other effects on our business;
■the amount and timing of potential payments or adjustments associated with federal or other tax examinations;
■the possibility that we may fail to estimate accurately, especially in the event of an extended economic downturn or a period of extreme market volatility and economic uncertainty, the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in establishing loss reserves for our mortgage insurance business or to accurately calculate and/or project our Available Assets and Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs, which will be impacted by, among other things, the size and mix of our IIF, the level of defaults in our portfolio, the reported status of defaults in our portfolio, including whether they are subject to mortgage forbearance, a repayment plan or a loan modification trial period granted in response to a financial hardship related to COVID-19, the level of cash flow generated by our insurance operations and our risk distribution strategies;
■volatility in our financial results caused by changes in the fair value of our assets and liabilities, including with respect to our use of derivatives and within our investment portfolio;
■changes in GAAP or SAP rules and guidance, or their interpretation;
■risks associated with investments to grow our existing businesses, or to pursue new lines of business or new products and services, including our ability and related costs to develop, launch and implement new and innovative technologies and digital products and services, whether these products and services will receive broad customer acceptance or will disrupt existing customer relations, and additional financial risks related to these investments, including required changes in our investment, financing and hedging strategies, and risks associated with our increased use of financial leverage, which could expose us to liquidity risks resulting from changes in the fair values of assets;
■the effectiveness and security of our information technology systems and digital products and services, including the risk that these systems, products or services fail to operate as expected or planned or expose us to cybersecurity or third party risks, including due to malware, unauthorized access, cyber-attack, natural disasters or other similar events;
■our ability to attract and retain key employees; and
■legal and other limitations on amounts we may receive from our subsidiaries, including dividends or ordinary course distributions under our internal tax- and expense-sharing arrangements.
For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, you should refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K, and to subsequent reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the SEC. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date on which we issued this report. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.

1. Description of Business
We are a diversified mortgage and real estate business, providing both credit-related mortgage insurance coverage and an array of other mortgage, risk, title, real estate and technology products and services. We have two reportable business segments—Mortgage and homegenius.
Mortgage
Our Mortgage segment provides credit-related insurance coverage, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans, as well as contract underwriting and other credit risk management solutions, to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. We provide our mortgage insurance products and services mainly through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Radian Guaranty.
Private mortgage insurance plays an important role in the U.S. housing finance system because it promotes affordable home ownership and helps protect mortgage lenders and investors, as well as other beneficiaries, by mitigating default-related losses on residential mortgage loans. Generally, these loans are made to homebuyers 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, most of which are currently sold to the GSEs.
Our total direct primary mortgage IIF and RIF were $254.2 billion and $63.8 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2022, compared to $246.0 billion and $60.9 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. In addition to providing private mortgage insurance, we have participated in credit risk transfer programs developed by the GSEs as part of their initiative to distribute mortgage credit risk and increase the role of private capital in the mortgage market. Our additional RIF under credit risk transfer transactions, resulting from our participation in these programs with the GSEs, totaled $372.4 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $417.7 million as of December 31, 2021.
The GSEs and state insurance regulators impose various capital and financial requirements on our mortgage insurance subsidiaries. These include Risk-to-capital, other risk-based capital measures and surplus requirements, as well as the PMIERs financial requirements. Failure to comply with these capital and financial requirements may limit the amount of insurance that our mortgage insurance subsidiaries write, or may prohibit them from writing insurance altogether. The GSEs and state insurance regulators possess significant discretion with respect to our mortgage insurance subsidiaries and all aspects of their business. See Note 16 for additional information on PMIERs and other regulatory information.
homegenius
Our homegenius segment is primarily a fee-for-service business that offers an array of products and services to market participants across the real estate value chain. Our homegenius products and services include title, real estate and technology products and services offered primarily to consumers, mortgage lenders, mortgage and real estate investors, GSEs, real estate brokers and agents. These products and services help lenders, investors, consumers and real estate agents evaluate, manage, monitor, acquire and sell properties, and include SaaS solutions and platforms, as well as managed services, such as real estate owned asset management, single family rental services and real estate valuation services. In addition, we provide title insurance and non-insurance title, closing and settlement services to mortgage lenders, GSEs and mortgage investors, as well as directly to consumers for residential mortgage loans.
See Note 4 for additional information about our reportable segments and All Other business activities.
Risks and Uncertainties
In assessing the Company’s current financial condition and developing forecasts of future operations, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to potential factors impacting our financial and liquidity position. These judgments and estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect amounts reported in our financial statements in future periods and that could cause actual results to be materially different from our estimates, including as a result of macroeconomic stresses such as inflation, slower economic growth and higher levels of unemployment.
The inflationary trends in the current economic environment have been exacerbated by strong consumer demand and pervasive supply chain disruptions, including as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government responses, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Recent actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve to increase interest rates in response to these inflationary pressures led to a sharp and significant increase in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates further in July 2022 and has signaled that it expects to continue to increase rates throughout the year. While we expect these interest rate increases to continue to negatively impact certain aspects of our results, including through lower NIW, lower homegenius revenues and lower investment fair values, we also expect to benefit from the rate increases due to higher Persistency Rates that will favorably impact our IIF, as well as through the recognition of higher net investment income.

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 Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, and intercompany profits and losses, have been eliminated. 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 refer to Radian Group Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries as “Radian,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context requires otherwise. We generally refer to Radian Group Inc. alone, without its consolidated subsidiaries, as “Radian Group.” 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 2021 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.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. While the amounts included in our condensed consolidated financial statements include our best estimates and assumptions, actual results may vary materially.
Other Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 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 2021 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services—Insurance—Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. The new standard: (i) requires that assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits be reviewed at least annually; (ii) defines and simplifies the measurement of market risk benefits; (iii) simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs; and (iv) enhances the required disclosures about long-duration contracts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our financial statements and disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Reform on Financial Reporting. This new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP requirements to investments, derivatives, or other transactions affected by reference rate reform such as those that impact the assessment of contract modifications. The amendments in this update are optional and may be elected from the date of issuance through December 31, 2022, as reference rate reform activities occur. We continue to evaluate the impact the discontinuance of LIBOR and the new accounting guidance will have on our financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. In addition, this
16
Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
update introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions measured at fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our financial statements and disclosures.
3. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares relate to our share-based compensation arrangements.
The calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows.

4. Segment Reporting
We have two strategic business units that we manage separately—Mortgage and homegenius. Our Mortgage segment derives its revenue from mortgage insurance and other mortgage and risk services, including contract underwriting solutions provided to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. Our homegenius segment offers an array of title, real estate and technology products and services to consumers, mortgage lenders, mortgage and real estate investors, GSEs, real estate brokers and agents.
In addition, we report as All Other activities that include: (i) income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, our holding company; (ii) related general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segments; and (iii) certain investments in new business opportunities, including activities and investments associated with Radian Mortgage Capital, and other immaterial activities.
We allocate corporate operating expenses to both reportable segments based on each segment’s forecasted annual percentage of total revenue, which approximates the estimated percentage of management time spent on each segment. In addition, we allocate all corporate interest expense to our Mortgage segment, due to the capital-intensive nature of our mortgage insurance business.
With the primary exception of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets, which all relate to our homegenius segment, and are reviewed as part of our annual goodwill impairment assessment, we do not manage assets by segment.
See Note 1 for additional details about our Mortgage and homegenius businesses.

Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
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 each of Radian’s business segments and to allocate resources to the segments.
Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, except for certain investments attributable to our reportable segments; (ii) gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt; (iii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets; and (iv) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, such as impairment of internal-use software, gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business and acquisition-related income and expenses. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss), including the reasons for their treatment.
Although adjusted pretax operating income (loss) excludes certain items that have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future, the excluded items represent those that are: (i) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities or (ii) not expected to result in an economic impact equal to the amount reflected in pretax income (loss).
The reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) for our reportable segments to consolidated pretax income (loss) is as follows.

Securities Lending Agreements
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. Although we report such securities at fair value within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, rather than within investments, the detailed information we provide in this Note 6 includes these securities. See Note 5 for additional detail on the loaned securities, and see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies with respect to our securities lending agreements and the collateral requirements thereunder.
All of our securities lending agreements are classified as overnight and revolving. Securities collateral on deposit with us from third-party borrowers totaling $14.1 million and $57.8 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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.

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

Single Premium QSR Program
Radian Guaranty entered into each of the 2016 Single Premium QSR Agreement, 2018 Single Premium QSR Agreement and 2020 Single Premium QSR Agreement with panels of third-party reinsurers to cede a contractual quota share percent of our Single Premium NIW as of the effective date of each agreement (as set forth in the table below), subject to certain conditions. Radian Guaranty receives a ceding commission for ceded premiums written pursuant to these transactions. Radian Guaranty also receives a profit commission annually, provided that the loss ratio on the loans covered under the agreement generally remains below the applicable prescribed thresholds. Losses on the ceded risk up to these thresholds reduce Radian Guaranty’s profit commission on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Each of the agreements is subject to a scheduled termination date as set forth in the table below; however, Radian Guaranty has the option, based on certain conditions and subject to a termination fee, to terminate any of the agreements at the end of any calendar quarter on or after the applicable optional termination date. If Radian Guaranty exercises this option in the future, it would result in Radian Guaranty reassuming the related RIF in exchange for a net payment to the reinsurer calculated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Radian Guaranty also may terminate any of the agreements prior to the applicable scheduled termination date under certain circumstances, including if one or both of the GSEs no longer grant full PMIERs capital relief for the reinsurance.

Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
As of January 1, 2022, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the Single Premium QSR Program. In July 2022, Radian Guaranty agreed to the principal terms of the 2022 QSR Agreement, which includes Single Premium Policies, with a panel of third-party reinsurance providers, as further described below.
The following table sets forth additional details regarding the Single Premium QSR Program.

(1)Effective December 31, 2017, we amended the 2016 Single Premium QSR Agreement to increase the amount of ceded risk on performing loans under the agreement from 35% to 65% for the 2015 through 2017 vintages. Loans included in the 2012 through 2014 vintages, and any other loans subject to the agreement that were delinquent at the time of the amendment, were unaffected by the change and therefore the amount of ceded risk for those loans continues to range from 20% to 35%.
Excess-of-Loss Program
Radian Guaranty has entered into six fully collateralized reinsurance arrangements with the Eagle Re Issuers. 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 six 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.
Under each of the reinsurance agreements, the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount will begin amortizing after an initial period in which a target level of credit enhancement is obtained and will stop amortizing if certain thresholds, or triggers, are reached, including a delinquency trigger event based on an elevated level of delinquencies as defined in the related insurance-linked notes transaction agreements. The insurance-linked notes issued by Eagle Re 2018-1 and 2019-1 are currently subject to a delinquency trigger event, which was first reported to the insurance-linked note investors on June 25, 2020. For the insurance-linked notes that are subject to a delinquency trigger event, both the amortization of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount pursuant to our reinsurance arrangements with the Eagle Re Issuers and the amortization of the principal amount of the related insurance-linked notes issued by the Eagle Re Issuers have been suspended and will continue to be suspended during the pendency of the trigger event.

See Notes 5 and 6 for additional information.
The Eagle Re Issuers are not subsidiaries or affiliates of Radian Guaranty. Based on the accounting guidance that addresses VIEs, we have not consolidated any of the assets and liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers in our financial statements, because Radian does not have: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the Eagle Re Issuers’ economic performances or (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the Eagle Re Issuers that potentially could be significant to the Eagle Re Issuers. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 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 one-month LIBOR (or an acceptable alternative to LIBOR) or SOFR, as applicable, plus a contractual risk margin, and then subtracting actual investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trust during the preceding month. As a result, the premiums we pay will vary based on: (i) the spread between LIBOR (or an acceptable alternative to LIBOR) or SOFR, as provided in each applicable reinsurance agreement, and the rates on the investments held by the reinsurance trust and (ii) the outstanding amount of reinsurance coverage.
As the reinsurance premium will vary based on changes in these rates, we concluded that the reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives, which we have accounted for separately as freestanding derivatives and recorded in other assets or other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recorded in net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5 herein and Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information on our fair value measurements of financial instruments, including our embedded derivatives.
In the event an Eagle Re Issuer is unable to meet its future obligations to us, if any, our insurance subsidiaries would be liable to make claims payments to our policyholders. In the event that all of the assets in the reinsurance trust (consisting of U.S. government money market funds, cash or U.S. Treasury securities) become worthless and the Eagle Re Issuer is unable to make its payments to us, our maximum potential loss would be the amount of mortgage insurance claim payments for losses on the insured policies, net of the aggregate reinsurance payments already received, up to the full aggregate excess-of-loss reinsurance coverage amount. In the same scenario, the related embedded derivative would no longer have value.

(1)Assets held by the Eagle Re Issuers are required to be invested in U.S. government money market funds, cash or U.S. Treasury securities. Liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers consist of their mortgage insurance-linked notes, as described above. Assets and liabilities are equal to each other for each of the Eagle Re Issuers.
Other Collateral
Although we use reinsurance as one of our risk management tools, reinsurance does not relieve us of our obligations to our policyholders. In the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations to us, our insurance subsidiaries would be liable for any defaulted amounts. However, consistent with the PMIERs reinsurer counterparty collateral requirements, Radian Guaranty’s reinsurers 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 $127.3 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $167.9 million as of December 31, 2021. In addition, for the Single Premium QSR Program, Radian Guaranty holds amounts related to ceded premiums written to collateralize the reinsurers’ obligations, which is reported in reinsurance funds withheld on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any loss recoveries and profit commissions paid to Radian Guaranty related to the Single Premium QSR Program are expected to be realized from this account.
2022 QSR Agreement
In July 2022, Radian Guaranty agreed to the principal terms of the 2022 QSR Agreement with a panel of third-party reinsurance providers. Under the 2022 QSR Agreement, which remains subject to final documentation, starting July 1, 2022, we expect to cede 20% of policies issued between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, subject to certain conditions including a limitation on ceded RIF equal to $8.5 billion over the term of the agreement.
Radian Guaranty will receive a 20% ceding commission for ceded premiums earned pursuant to this transaction. Radian Guaranty will also receive an annual profit commission based on the performance of the loans subject to the agreement, provided that the loss ratio on the subject loans is below 59% for that calendar year. Radian Guaranty may discontinue ceding new policies under the agreement at the end of any calendar quarter.
The agreement is scheduled to terminate June 30, 2033. Radian Guaranty has the option, based on certain conditions and subject to a termination fee, to terminate the agreement as of July 1, 2026, or at the end of any calendar quarter thereafter, which would result in Radian Guaranty reassuming the related RIF in exchange for a net payment to the reinsurers calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Radian Guaranty also may terminate this agreement prior to the scheduled termination date under certain circumstances, including if one or both of the GSEs no longer grant full PMIERs credit for the reinsurance.

See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information about our right-of-use assets and related impairment analysis.
10. Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our current federal income tax liability was $24.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively, and is included as a component of other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We are required to establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. At each balance sheet date, we assess our need for a valuation allowance, and this assessment is based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. This requires management to exercise judgment and make assumptions regarding whether our deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods. Certain entities within our consolidated group have generated deferred tax assets relating primarily to state and local NOL carryforwards, which, if unutilized, will expire during various future tax periods. We have determined that certain of these entities may continue to generate taxable losses on a separate company basis in the near-term and may not be able to fully utilize certain of their state and local NOLs on their state and local tax returns. Therefore, with respect to deferred tax assets relating to these state and local NOLs and other state timing adjustments, we retained a valuation allowance of $85.4 million at June 30, 2022. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we have generated deferred tax assets related to unrealized capital losses, and we consider it more likely than not that these assets will be realized. We will continue to monitor the level of these losses and our overall ability to realize the related deferred tax assets in the coming quarters.
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 June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we held $466.1 million and $354.1 million, respectively, of these bonds, which are included as prepaid federal income taxes in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding deduction of our statutory contingency reserves resulted in the recognition of a net deferred tax liability. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information about our U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds.
For additional information on our income taxes, including our accounting policies, see Notes 2 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 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 the number of new primary default notices received in the period and our related gross Default to Claim Rate assumption 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 assumptions.
New primary default notices totaled 17,402 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 19,996 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing a decrease of 13%. Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption applied to new defaults was 8.0% as of both June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021. As a result, the decrease in new default notices was the
32
Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
primary driver of the decrease in losses incurred related to current year defaults for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Our provision for losses during both the first six months of 2022 and 2021 was positively impacted by favorable reserve development on prior year defaults, primarily as a result of more favorable trends in Cures than originally estimated due to favorable outcomes resulting from mortgage forbearance programs implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as positive trends in home price appreciation. These favorable observed trends resulted in reductions in our Default to Claim Rate assumptions for prior year default notices, particularly for those defaults first reported in 2020 following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Claims Paid
Total claims paid decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in claims paid is primarily attributable to a reduction in payments made to settle certain previously disclosed legal proceedings.

FHLB Advances
As of June 30, 2022, we had $184.3 million of fixed-rate advances outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 1.18%. Interest on the FHLB advances is payable quarterly, or at maturity if the term of the advance is less than 90 days. Principal is due at maturity. For obligations with maturities greater than or equal to 90 days, we may prepay the debt at any time, subject to a prepayment fee calculation.
The principal balance of the FHLB advances are required to be collateralized by eligible assets with a market value that must be maintained generally within a minimum range of 103% to 114% of the amount borrowed, depending on the type of assets pledged. Our fixed-maturities available for sale and trading securities include securities totaling $207.2 million and $167.3 million at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which serve as collateral for our FHLB advances to satisfy this requirement. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information about our FHLB advances.
Revolving Credit Facility
Radian Group has in place a $275.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. As of June 30, 2022, Radian Group was in compliance with all of the revolving credit facility covenants, and there were no amounts
33

outstanding. For more information regarding our revolving credit facility, including certain of its terms and covenants, see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Mortgage Financing Facility
On July 15, 2022, Radian Group entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Parent Guaranty”) in favor of Goldman to guaranty the obligations of Radian Group’s subsidiaries Radian Mortgage Capital and Radian Liberty Funding LLC (“Liberty”) in connection with a $300 million mortgage loan repurchase facility (the “Mortgage Financing Facility”) that Radian Mortgage Capital and Liberty have entered into with Goldman pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement (defined below).
Radian Mortgage Capital and its wholly-owned subsidiary Liberty entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Master Repurchase Agreement”), dated as of July 15, 2022, among Liberty, Goldman and Radian Mortgage Capital, pursuant to which Liberty may from time to time sell to Goldman, and later repurchase, certain Participation Interests (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) in residential mortgage loan assets. The Mortgage Financing Facility is uncommitted, and Goldman is under no obligation to fund the purchase of any residential mortgage loan assets under this facility. In the event Goldman advances funds under the Mortgage Financing Facility, the amount of such advances generally will be calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance or market value of the residential mortgage loan assets, depending on the credit characteristics of the loans being purchased.
The Master Repurchase Agreement contains provisions that provide Goldman with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased residential mortgage loan assets. Under these provisions, Goldman may require Liberty to transfer cash or additional eligible residential mortgage loan assets with an aggregate market value that is equal to the difference between the value of the residential mortgage loan assets then subject to the Master Repurchase Agreement and a minimum threshold amount.
Pursuant to the Parent Guaranty, Radian Group is subject to negative and affirmative covenants customary for this type of financing transaction, including, among others: (i) limitations on the incurrence of debt; (ii) restrictions on certain transactions with affiliates, payments and investments; and (iii) a requirement that Radian Guaranty maintain its eligibility as a private mortgage insurer with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The Parent Guaranty also contains various financial covenants that the Company must remain in compliance with, including those related to: (i) the total adjusted capital of the Company’s primary mortgage insurance subsidiaries Radian Guaranty and Radian Reinsurance; (ii) the Company’s minimum consolidated net worth; and (iii) the Company’s maximum debt-to-total capitalization ratio. The covenants and financial covenants in the Parent Guaranty are generally consistent with the comparable covenants in the Company’s revolving credit facility, including with respect to the payment of dividends on shares of its common stock which are permitted under both agreements so long as no default or event of default exists and the Company is in pro forma compliance with the applicable financial covenants on the date a dividend is declared.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We are routinely involved in a number of legal actions and proceedings, including reviews, audits, inquiries, information-gathering requests and investigations by various regulatory entities, as well as litigation and other disputes arising in the ordinary course of our business. In connection with these matters, from time to time we receive requests and subpoenas seeking information and documents related to aspects of our business. These legal proceedings and regulatory matters 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 such actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. The outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that any one or more of these matters currently pending or threatened could have an adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for any particular period.
Lease Liability
Our lease liability represents the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Our operating lease liability was $49.6 million and $53.5 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is classified in in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for further information regarding our commitments and contingencies and our accounting policies for contingencies.

14. Capital Stock
Share Repurchase Activity
On February 9, 2022, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to spend up to $400.0 million, excluding commissions, to repurchase Radian Group common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Radian generally operates its share repurchase programs pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, which permits the Company to purchase shares, at pre-determined price targets, when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so. The authorization will expire in February 2024.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 9.1 million and 10.0 million shares at an average price of $20.25 and $20.51 per share, including commissions, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, purchase authority of up to $195.0 million remained available under this program.
During July, the Company purchased 4.8 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $20.47 per share including commissions. After giving consideration to these repurchases, purchase authority of up to $97.6 million remained available under this program.
Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
We declared quarterly cash dividends on our common stock equal to $0.125 per share during the first quarter of 2021 and declared quarterly cash dividends on our common stock equal to $0.14 per share for the remaining quarters of 2021. On February 9, 2022, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized an increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.14 to $0.20 per share, beginning with the dividend declared in the first quarter of 2022.
Share-Based and Other Compensation Programs
During the second quarter of 2022, certain executive and non-executive officers were granted time-vested and performance-based RSUs to be settled in 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. The vesting of the performance-based RSUs granted to certain executive and non-executive officers is based upon the cumulative growth in Radian’s book value per share, adjusted for certain defined items, over a three-year performance period and, with the exception of certain retirement-eligible employees, continued service through the vesting date. Performance-based RSUs granted to executive officers are subject to a one-year post vesting holding period.
The time-vested RSU awards granted to certain executive and non-executive officers in 2022 generally vest in pro rata installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, time-vested RSU awards were also granted to non-employee directors and generally are subject to one-year cliff vesting. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s share-based and other compensation programs.

16. Statutory Information
Our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory net income for the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and statutory policyholders’ surplus as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were as follows.

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. There are 16 RBC States that currently impose a Statutory RBC Requirement. The most common Statutory RBC Requirement is that a mortgage insurer’s Risk-to-capital may not exceed 25 to 1. In certain of the RBC States, a mortgage insurer must satisfy a MPP Requirement. Radian Guaranty was in compliance with all applicable Statutory RBC Requirements and MPP Requirements in each of the RBC States as of June 30, 2022. Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital was 11.9:1 and 11.1:1 as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. For purposes of the Risk-to-capital requirements imposed by certain states, statutory capital is defined as the sum of statutory policyholders’ surplus plus statutory contingency reserves. Our other mortgage insurance and title insurance subsidiaries were also in compliance with all statutory and counterparty capital requirements as of June 30, 2022.
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 June 30, 2022, Radian Guaranty is an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs and is 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 June 30, 2022, the amount of restricted net assets held by our consolidated insurance subsidiaries (which represents our equity investment in those insurance subsidiaries) totaled $4.3 billion of our consolidated net assets.
In light of Radian Guaranty’s negative unassigned surplus related to operating losses in prior periods and the ongoing need to set aside contingency reserves, which totaled $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2022, Radian Guaranty is not currently permitted under applicable insurance laws to pay ordinary dividends or other distributions to Radian Group without prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. In February 2022, the Pennsylvania Insurance Department provided such approval for a $500 million return of capital from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, which was paid on February 11, 2022, in cash and marketable securities. This transfer was approved as an Extraordinary Distribution in the form of a return of paid-in capital and resulted in a $500 million decrease in Radian Guaranty’s statutory policyholders’ surplus. Based on the current strong performance and assuming the continuation of favorable credit performance in our mortgage insurance business, we expect that Radian Guaranty could potentially have positive unassigned surplus by 2023.
Radian Reinsurance had positive unassigned surplus at December 31, 2021, and as a result, Radian Reinsurance does have the ability to pay ordinary dividends of up to $32.7 million in 2022.

Overview
We are a diversified mortgage and real estate business with two reportable business segments—Mortgage and homegenius.
Our Mortgage segment aggregates, manages and distributes U.S. mortgage credit risk on behalf of mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans, and also provides contract underwriting and other credit risk management solutions to our customers. Our homegenius segment offers an array of title, real estate and technology products and services to consumers, mortgage lenders, mortgage and real estate investors, GSEs, real estate brokers and agents.
Current Operating Environment
As a seller of mortgage credit protection and other mortgage and credit risk management solutions and real estate products and services, our business results are subject to macroeconomic conditions and other events that impact the housing, housing finance and related real estate markets, the credit performance of our underlying insured assets and our future business opportunities, as well as seasonal fluctuations that specifically affect the mortgage origination environment. The performance of our Mortgage business is particularly influenced by macroeconomic conditions and specific events that impact the housing finance and real estate markets, including housing prices, inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, unemployment levels, the availability of credit, national and regional economic conditions and other events that impact mortgage originations and the credit performance of our mortgage insurance portfolio, most of which are beyond our control.
The U.S. economy is currently experiencing a high rate of inflation and slower economic growth. The inflationary trends in the current economic environment have been exacerbated by strong consumer demand and pervasive supply chain

Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
disruptions, including as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government responses, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Recent actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve to increase interest rates in response to these inflationary pressures led to a sharp and significant increase in mortgage interest rates during the first half of 2022. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates further in July 2022 and has signaled that it expects to continue to increase rates throughout the year. While we expect these interest rate increases to continue to negatively impact certain aspects of our results, including through lower NIW, lower homegenius revenues and lower investment fair values, we also expect to benefit from the rate increases due to higher Persistency Rates that will favorably impact our IIF, as well as through the recognition of higher net investment income, as discussed below.
We wrote NIW of $37.6 billion in the first half of 2022, a decrease of 10.1% compared to our NIW in the first half of 2021. Despite current inflationary pressures and rising interest rates, which among other things, are slowing the rate of home appreciation in the U.S., we continue to believe that the long-term housing market fundamentals and outlook remain positive, including demographics supporting growth in the population of first-time homebuyers and a constrained supply of homes available for sale. While the recent increases in mortgage interest rates have reduced refinance demand, they have also resulted in a decrease in policy cancellations, which has increased our Persistency Rate, and in turn contributed to growth in our IIF. See “Mortgage Insurance Portfolio” for additional details on our NIW and IIF.
The same inflationary pressures and rising interest rate environment that are impacting mortgage refinance demand and our NIW are also impacting our homegenius business, including a decrease in our title revenues in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2022, due to the rapid decline in industrywide refinance volumes. The current macroeconomic trends, and the corresponding softening in demand for home sales and mortgage refinancings, are expected to also impact the market demand for our proprietary digital real estate products and services. In addition, the market readiness of these digital products and services has been negatively impacted by longer than anticipated launch timelines.
The recent sharp increases in interest rates also materially affected the fair value of our investment portfolio in the first half of 2022, resulting in significant unrealized losses on investments. Given our intent and ability as of June 30, 2022, to hold these securities until recovery of their amortized cost basis, we do not expect to realize a loss on any of our investments in an unrealized loss position. The recent decrease in the fair value of our investments due to higher market interest rates negatively affected our net income and stockholders’ equity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Conversely, this higher interest rate environment resulted in the recognition of higher net investment income in the second quarter of 2022, which is expected to continue in future periods. See Note 6 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our investments.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant increase in unemployment which had a negative impact on the economy and, as a result, we experienced a material increase in new defaults in 2020, substantially all of which related to defaults of loans subject to mortgage forbearance programs implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the increase in the number of new mortgage defaults resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on our results of operations and our reserve for losses. However, subsequent trends in Cures have been more favorable than original expectations, resulting in favorable loss reserve development in 2021 and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 11 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our reserve for losses.
As noted above, following the start of the pandemic, we experienced a material increase in new defaults and our primary default rate increased sharply to 6.5% at June 30, 2020. Since then, favorable trends in the number of new defaults and Cures have led to a decline in our default inventory and default rate, resulting in a primary default rate of 2.2% at June 30, 2022.
The number, timing and duration of new defaults and, in turn, the number of defaults that ultimately result in claims will depend on a variety of factors, including the number and timing of Cures and claims paid and the net impact on IIF from our Persistency Rate and future NIW. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion of these factors and other risks and uncertainties.
Despite risks and uncertainties, we believe that the steps we have taken in recent years, including by improving our capital and liquidity positions, enhancing our financial flexibility, implementing greater risk-based granularity into our pricing methodologies and increasing our use of risk distribution strategies to lower the risk profile and financial volatility of our mortgage insurance portfolio, has helped position the Company to better withstand the negative effects from macroeconomic stresses discussed above, including those resulting from the high rate of inflation and rising interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
In particular, we believe that the range of risk distribution transactions and strategies that Radian and other private mortgage insurance participants have engaged in have helped increase the financial strength and flexibility of the private mortgage insurance industry by mitigating credit risk and financial volatility through varying economic cycles. As of June 30, 2022, 62% of our primary RIF is subject to a form of risk distribution and our estimated reinsurance recoverables related to our mortgage insurance portfolio were $39.0 million. After consideration of the 2022 QSR Agreement, 76% of our primary RIF as of June 30, 2022, is subject to a form of risk distribution. Our use of risk distribution structures has reduced our required capital and enhanced our projected return on capital, and we expect these structures to provide a level of credit protection in periods of economic stress.

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 2021 Form 10-K. Except as discussed below, there were no significant regulatory developments impacting our businesses from those discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K.
In June 2022, FHFA announced the release of the GSEs’ Equitable Housing Finance Plans, providing a framework for planned initiatives to address access to homeownership for minority and underserved communities. The plans include a particular focus on Special Purpose Credit Programs (“SPCPs”) and note that these programs could consider modifications to mortgage insurance requirements. While both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s plans note this potential change as part of these programs, details on any future changes remain uncertain. Both GSEs expect to launch SPCPs by the end of 2022. The plans also include expected activity to address credit and alternative data in underwriting, valuations and appraisals, title insurance, among others. The GSEs are expected to update these plans annually.
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. On July 29, 2022, the GSEs issued guidance supplementing and modifying certain operational provisions of the PMIERs effective as of June 30, 2022. The new guidance applies to all private mortgage insurers and among other items, specifically amends certain provisions of the PMIERs relating to corporate governance, the foreclosure bidding process and certain calculations included in each mortgage insurer’s operational scorecard. Radian Guaranty expects to be able to comply with the new requirements. The new guidance does not impact or change the PMIERs Financial Requirements.
Recent Company Developments
In July 2022, we announced the launch of Radian Mortgage Capital, a mortgage conduit formed to provide residential mortgage lenders with an additional secondary-market option to sell eligible loans to us and to provide mortgage investors with another known sponsor. Radian Mortgage Capital plans to leverage our lender relationships to aggregate residential mortgage loans, which Radian Mortgage Capital expects to then distribute into the capital markets through private label securitizations or sell directly to mortgage investors, with the option to retain and manage structured components of the underlying credit risk where we see value. Consistent with our stated strategy, Radian Mortgage Capital expands our capabilities to participate in the mortgage market to aggregate, manage and distribute residential mortgage credit risk.
Consistent with our use of risk distribution strategies to effectively manage capital and proactively mitigate risk, Radian Guaranty agreed to the principal terms of the 2022 QSR Agreement in July 2022 with a panel of third-party reinsurance providers. Under the 2022 QSR Agreement, which remains subject to final documentation, starting July 1, 2022, we expect to cede 20% of policies issued between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, subject to certain conditions. See Note 8 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for more information about the 2022 QSR Agreement and our other reinsurance transactions.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results
The key factors affecting our results are discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these key factors.

New Insurance Written
We wrote $18.9 billion and $37.6 billion of primary new mortgage insurance in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $21.7 billion and $41.8 billion of NIW in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As shown in the chart above, IIF increased to $254.2 billion at June 30, 2022, from $246.0 billion at December 31, 2021, driven by a higher Persistency Rate and our NIW for the first six months of 2022.
Our NIW decreased by 12.6% and 10.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 due to reduced refinance originations and lower utilization of mortgage insurance, partially offset by an increase in our market share and a slight increase in purchase mortgage originations. According to industry estimates, total mortgage origination volume was lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the comparable periods in 2021 due to a decline in refinance activity.
Although it is difficult to project future volumes, recent market projections for 2022 estimate total mortgage originations of approximately $2.6 trillion, which would represent a decline in the total annual mortgage origination market of approximately 42% as compared to 2021, with a private mortgage insurance market of $400 to $450 billion. This outlook anticipates a significant decrease in refinance originations in 2022 resulting from expected continued increases in interest rates. While expectations for refinance volume vary, there is general consensus that the home purchase mortgage market in 2022 will be comparable in size to 2021 driven by strong home sales and increased loan balances due to home price appreciation, which is a positive for mortgage insurers given the higher likelihood that purchase loans will utilize private mortgage insurance as compared to refinance loans. Typically, as refinance volume declines, we would expect the Persistency Rate for our portfolio to increase, benefiting the size of our IIF portfolio. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information.
The following table provides selected information as of and 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).

(2)For loans with multiple borrowers, the percentage of NIW by FICO score represents the lowest of the borrowers’ FICO scores.
Insurance and Risk in Force
Our IIF is the primary driver of the future premiums that we expect to earn over time. IIF at June 30, 2022, increased 7.1% as compared to the same period last year, reflecting a 12.6% increase in Monthly Premium Policies in force partially offset by a 15.1% decline in Single Premium Policies in force. Single Premium Policy cancellations were the primary driver of the decrease in unearned premiums on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021.
Historically, there is a close correlation between interest rates and Persistency Rates. Higher interest rate environments generally decrease refinancings, which decrease the cancellation rate of our insurance and positively affect our Persistency Rates. As shown in the table below, our 12-month Persistency Rate at June 30, 2022, increased as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in our Persistency Rate at June 30, 2022, was primarily attributable to decreased refinance activity due to increases in mortgage interest rates, as compared to the same period in the prior year. As of June 30, 2022, 5.7% of our IIF had a mortgage note interest rate greater than 5.0%. Excluding the 2022 vintage, only 3.4% of our IIF had a mortgage note interest rate greater than 5.0%. Given the recent increase in market mortgage interest rates, which now exceed that level based on reported industry averages, we would expect that the increase in interest rates and related decline in refinance volume would continue to have a positive impact on our Persistency Rates.
Historical loan performance data indicates that credit scores and underwriting quality are key drivers of credit performance. As of June 30, 2022, our portfolio of business written subsequent to 2008, including refinancings under HARP, represented approximately 97.4% of our total primary RIF. Loan originations after 2008 have consisted primarily of high credit quality loans with significantly better credit performance than loans originated during 2008 and prior periods. However, the
43

impact to our future losses remains uncertain due to risks associated with the macroeconomic environment. For additional information, see our 2021 Form 10-K, “Item 1A. Risk Factors—The credit performance of our mortgage insurance portfolio is impacted by macroeconomic conditions and specific events that affect the ability of borrowers to pay their mortgages.”
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. When we enter into a reinsurance agreement, the reinsurer receives a premium and, in exchange, insures an agreed-upon portion of incurred losses. While these arrangements have the impact of reducing our earned premiums, they also reduce our required capital and are expected to increase our return on required capital for the related policies.
The impact of these programs on our financial results will vary depending on the level of ceded RIF, as well as the levels of prepayments and incurred losses on the reinsured portfolios, among other factors.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, primarily reflect the financial results and performance of our two reportable business segments—Mortgage and homegenius. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage” and “Results of Operations—homegenius” for the operating results of these business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.
In addition to the results of our operating segments, pretax income (loss) is also affected by those factors described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting Our Results” in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Net Gains (Losses) on Investments and Other Financial Instruments. The increase in net losses on investments and other financial instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, is primarily due to an increase in net unrealized losses on our equity and trading securities and, to a lesser extent, an increase in losses on other financial instruments. The primary driver of the increase in losses on our equity and trading securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was the impact of rising interest rates as well as other market and macroeconomic conditions, as further discussed in “Overview—Current Operating Environment.” See Note 6 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments.
Expenses
Provision for Losses. The decrease in provision for losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, is primarily driven by favorable development on prior period defaults, which impacted our mortgage insurance reserves. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage—Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021—Expenses—Provision for Losses,” for more information.
Other Operating Expenses. The increase in other operating expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021 is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense and a decrease in ceding commissions. See “Results of Operations—Mortgage—Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021—Expenses—Other Operating Expenses,” and “Results of Operations—homegenius—Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021—Expenses—Other Operating Expenses,” for more information on other operating expenses.
Income Tax Provision
Variations in our effective tax rates, combined with differences in pretax income, were the drivers of the changes in our income tax provision between periods. Our effective tax rate for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was 22.6%, as compared to 20.6% and 21.3% for the same periods in 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and certain permanent book-to-tax adjustments.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the traditional GAAP financial measures, we have presented “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity,” which are non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, among our key performance indicators to evaluate our fundamental financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures align with the way our business performance is evaluated by both management and by our board of directors. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purposes of evaluating our operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with our peers. Although on a consolidated basis “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity” are non-GAAP financial measures, for the reasons discussed above we believe these measures aid in understanding the underlying performance of our operations.
Total adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity are not measures of overall profitability, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share or return on equity. Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity, as discussed and reconciled below to the most comparable respective GAAP measures, may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.
Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Radian’s chief operating decision maker), uses adjusted pretax operating income (loss) as our primary measure to evaluate the fundamental financial performance of the Company’s business segments and to allocate resources to the segments. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Consolidated—Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” each in our 2021 Form 10-K for detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss) and the reasons for their treatment.
Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP consolidated pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, except for certain investments attributable to our reportable segments; (ii) gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt; (iii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other

acquired intangible assets; and (iv) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, such as impairment of internal-use software, gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business and acquisition-related income and expenses.

Revenues
Net Premiums Earned. Net premiums earned decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to: (i) a decrease in the impact, net of reinsurance, from Single Premium Policy cancellations due to lower refinance activity and (ii) a decrease in premiums earned on our Monthly Premium Policies due to lower average premium yields. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the profit commission retained by the Company, due to favorable reserve development in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The level of mortgage prepayments affects the revenue ultimately produced by our mortgage insurance business and is influenced by the mix of business we write. We believe that writing a mix of Single Premium Policies and Monthly Premium Policies has the potential to moderate the overall impact on our results if actual prepayments are significantly different from expectations. However, the impact of this moderating effect is affected by the amount of reinsurance we obtain on portions of our portfolio, with the Single Premium QSR Program currently reducing the proportion of retained Single Premium Policies in our portfolio. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting Our Results—Mortgage—IIF and Related Drivers” in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information.

Our mortgage insurance provision for losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased by $117.5 million and $247.6 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021. Current period new primary defaults decreased by 1.7% and 13.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, as shown below. Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption for new primary defaults was 8.0% at both June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021.
Our provision for losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, benefited from favorable reserve development on prior period defaults, primarily as a result of more favorable trends in Cures than originally estimated due to favorable outcomes resulting from mortgage forbearance programs implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as
52

well as positive trends in home price appreciation. These favorable observed trends resulted in reductions in our Default to Claim Rate assumptions for prior year default notices, particularly for those defaults first reported in 2020 following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 11 herein for additional information, as well as Notes 1 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Our primary default rate as a percentage of total insured loans at June 30, 2022, was 2.2% compared to 2.9% at December 31, 2021. 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. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional details about our Default to Claim Rate assumptions.
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 approximately 44% at June 30, 2022, compared to 46% at December 31, 2021. See Note 11 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our reserves for losses and a reconciliation of our Mortgage segment’s beginning and ending reserves for losses and LAE.
We considered the sensitivity of our loss reserve estimates at June 30, 2022, by assessing the potential changes resulting from a parallel shift in Claim Severity and Default to Claim Rate for primary loans. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, for every one percentage point absolute change in primary Claim Severity for our primary insurance risk exposure (which we estimated to be 99% of our risk exposure at each of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021), we estimated that our total loss reserve at June 30, 2022, would change by approximately $5.7 million. Assuming the portfolio mix and all other factors remain constant, for every one percentage point absolute change in our primary net Default to Claim Rate, we estimated a $12.7 million change in our primary loss reserve at June 30, 2022.
Although expected claims are included in our reserve for losses, the timing of claims paid is subject to fluctuation from quarter to quarter based on the rate that defaults cure and other factors, including the impact of foreclosure moratoriums (as described in “Item 1. Business—Mortgage—Defaults and Claims” in our 2021 Form 10-K) that make the timing of paid claims difficult to predict.

Other Operating Expenses. The increase in other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily reflects: (i) a decrease in ceding commissions, due primarily to a decline in Single Premium Policy cancellations covered by our Single Premium QSR Program, and (ii) an increase in variable incentive compensation expense, including as part of allocated corporate operating expenses. The increase in variable compensation expense is primarily due to increases in the projected payouts associated with our performance-based RSUs, driven primarily by the impact of the favorable loss reserve development recorded in the first half of 2022. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on our performance-based RSUs.

Results of Operations—homegenius
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
The following table summarizes our homegenius segment’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As discussed in “Overview—Current Operating Environment,” the macroeconomic stresses in the second quarter of 2022 impacted our homegenius business, including in particular a decrease in our title revenues due to the rapid decline in industrywide refinance volumes. We expect this trend to continue to impact the results of our homegenius segment in the near-term based on current market conditions and our expectation that overall refinance volumes will remain low.

Revenues
Net Premiums Earned. Net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in new title policies written and closed orders in our title insurance business, which was concentrated in the first quarter of 2022.
Services Revenue. Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased revenue in our real estate services, including increases from valuation and single family rental products and services, partially offset by a decrease in title services. In particular, title services revenue declined during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to the recent macroeconomic stresses described above. See Note 4 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the disaggregation of services revenue by revenue type.
Expenses
Cost of Services. Cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to incremental expenses incurred to support the increase in services revenue. Our cost of services is primarily affected by our level of services revenue and the number of employees providing those services.
Other Operating Expenses. The increase in other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily reflects continued strategic investments focused on our title and digital real estate businesses, including an increase in staffing levels resulting in higher salaries and other base employee expenses.

Operating Activities. Our most significant source of operating cash flows is from premiums received from our mortgage insurance policies, while our most significant uses of operating cash flows are typically for our operating expenses and claims paid on our mortgage insurance policies. The $99.0 million decline in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was principally due to: (i) higher purchases of U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds; (ii) higher payments for other operating expenses, primarily related to incentive compensation; and (iii) lower direct premiums written, due to reduced refinancing activity.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $76.4 million for the same period in 2021. This change was primarily the
58

result of an increase in sales and redemptions, net of purchases, on short-term investments, and a decrease in purchases of equity securities, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds and redemptions, net of purchases on fixed-maturity investments available for sale.
Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our primary financing activities included: (i) repurchases of our common stock; (ii) payment of dividends; and (iii) net changes in secured borrowings. See Notes 12 and 14 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our borrowings and share repurchases, respectively.
See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited)” for additional information.
Liquidity Analysis—Holding Company
Radian Group serves as the holding company for our operating subsidiaries and does not have any operations of its own. At June 30, 2022, Radian Group had available, either directly or through unregulated subsidiaries, unrestricted cash and liquid investments of $772.5 million. Available liquidity at June 30, 2022, excludes certain additional cash and liquid investments that have been advanced to Radian Group from its subsidiaries to pay for corporate expenses and interest payments. In addition, this amount does not take into consideration transactions subsequent to June 30, 2022, including $97.5 million in repurchases of Radian Group common stock, including commissions, pursuant to the share repurchase authorization discussed below. Total liquidity, which includes our undrawn $275.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, as described below, was $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Radian Group’s available liquidity increased by $167.6 million, due primarily to a $500 million return of capital from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group paid in February 2022, partially offset by other items such as share repurchases and payments for dividends, as described below.
In addition to available cash and marketable securities, Radian Group’s principal sources of cash to fund future liquidity needs include: (i) payments made to Radian Group by its subsidiaries under expense- and tax-sharing arrangements; (ii) net investment income earned on its cash and marketable securities; (iii) to the extent available, dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries; and (iv) amounts, if any, that Radian Guaranty is able to repay under the Surplus Note due 2027.
Radian Group also has in place a $275.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, capital contributions to our insurance subsidiaries as well as growth initiatives. At June 30, 2022, the full $275.0 million remains undrawn and available under the facility. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on the unsecured revolving credit facility.
On July 15, 2022, Radian Group entered into the Parent Guaranty in favor of Goldman, pursuant to which Radian Group agreed to guaranty the obligations of its subsidiaries Radian Mortgage Capital and Liberty in connection with a $300 million mortgage loan repurchase facility. Radian Mortgage Capital and Liberty entered into this facility with Goldman pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement. Under the Parent Guaranty, Radian Group is subject to negative and affirmative covenants customary for this type of financing transaction, including compliance with financial covenants that are generally consistent with the comparable covenants in the Company’s revolving credit facility. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We expect Radian Group’s principal liquidity demands for the next 12 months to be: (i) the payment of corporate expenses, including taxes; (ii) interest payments on our outstanding debt obligations; (iii) the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock, which we increased in February 2022 from $0.14 to $0.20 per share and which remains 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; (iv) the potential continued repurchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to share repurchase authorizations, as described below; (v) investments to support our business strategy, including capital contributions to our subsidiaries; and (vi) potential payments pursuant to the Parent Guaranty.
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 $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior debt due in future years. See “—Capitalization—Holding Company” below for details of our debt maturity profile. Radian Group’s liquidity demands for the next 12 months or in future periods could also include: (i) early repurchases or redemptions of portions of our debt obligations and (ii) additional investments to support our business strategy, including additional capital contributions to our subsidiaries. For additional information about related risks and uncertainties, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” including “—Radian Group’s sources of liquidity may be insufficient to fund its 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” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
We believe that Radian Group has sufficient current sources of liquidity to fund its obligations. If we otherwise decide to increase our liquidity position, Radian Group may 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.
59
Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Share Repurchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 10.0 million shares of Radian Group common stock under programs authorized by Radian Group’s board of directors, at a total cost of $205.1 million, including commissions. See Note 14 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on our share repurchase program.
Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. On February 9, 2022, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized an increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.14 to $0.20 per share. Based on our current outstanding shares of common stock and RSUs, we expect to require approximately $133 million in the aggregate to pay dividends and dividend equivalents for the next 12 months. So long as no default or event of default exists under its revolving credit facility or the Parent Guaranty, Radian Group is not subject to any limitations on its ability to pay dividends except those generally applicable to corporations that are incorporated in Delaware. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains subject to the board of directors’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, of $81.2 million and $41.1 million, respectively, were substantially all reimbursed by its subsidiaries. We expect substantially all of our holding company expenses to continue to be reimbursed by our subsidiaries under our expense-sharing arrangements. The expense-sharing arrangements between Radian Group and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries, as amended, have been approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, but such approval may be modified or revoked at any time.
Taxes. Pursuant to our tax-sharing agreements, our operating subsidiaries pay Radian Group an amount equal to any federal income tax the subsidiary would have paid on a standalone basis if they were not part of our consolidated tax return. As a result, from time to time, under the provisions of our tax-sharing agreements, Radian Group may pay to or receive from its operating subsidiaries amounts that differ from Radian Group’s consolidated federal tax payment obligation. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Radian Group received $17.2 million of tax-sharing agreement payments from its operating subsidiaries.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $327.8 million from December 31, 2021, to June 30, 2022. The net decrease in stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulted primarily from net unrealized losses in available for sale securities of $449.3 million as a result of an increase in market interest rates during the period, share repurchases of $205.1 million and dividends of $71.6 million, partially offset by our net income of $382.3 million. Given our intent and ability as of June 30, 2022, to hold these securities until recovery of their amortized cost basis, we do not expect to realize a loss on any of our investments in an unrealized loss position.
The decrease in book value per share from $24.28 at December 31, 2021, to $23.63 at June 30, 2022, is primarily due to: (i) a decrease of $2.56 per share due to unrealized losses in our available for sale securities, recorded in accumulated
60
Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
other comprehensive income and (ii) a decrease of $0.41 per share attributable to dividends and dividend equivalents. Partially offsetting these items was an increase of $2.18 per share attributable to our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
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 and financing sources, and 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. In the past we have repurchased and exchanged, prior to maturity, some of our outstanding debt, and in the future, we may from time to time seek to redeem, repurchase or exchange for other securities, or otherwise restructure or refinance some or all of our outstanding debt prior to maturity in the open market through other public or private transactions, including pursuant to one or more tender offers or through any combination of the foregoing, as circumstances may allow. The timing or amount of any potential transactions will depend on a number of factors, including market opportunities and our views regarding our capital and liquidity positions and potential future needs. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.
Mortgage
The principal demands for liquidity in our Mortgage business currently include: (i) the payment of claims and potential claim settlement transactions, net of reinsurance; (ii) expenses (including those allocated from Radian Group); (iii) repayments of FHLB advances; (iv) repayments, if any, associated with the Surplus Note due 2027; and (v) 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 2021 Form 10-K for additional information related to these non-interest bearing instruments. In addition to the foregoing liquidity demands, other payments have included, and in the future could include, distributions from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, including returns of capital subject to approval by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, as discussed below.
The principal sources of liquidity in our mortgage insurance business currently include insurance premiums, net investment income and cash flows from: (i) investment sales and maturities; (ii) FHLB advances; and (iii) capital contributions from Radian Group. We believe that the operating cash flows generated by each of our mortgage insurance subsidiaries will provide these subsidiaries with a substantial portion of the funds necessary to satisfy their needs for the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 2022, our mortgage insurance subsidiaries maintained claims paying resources of $5.7 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 June 30, 2022, was 11.9 to 1. Radian Guaranty is not expected to need additional capital to satisfy state insurance regulatory requirements in their current form. At June 30, 2022, Radian Guaranty had statutory policyholders’ surplus of $572.3 million. This balance includes a $466.1 million benefit from U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which mortgage guaranty insurers such as Radian Guaranty may purchase in order to be eligible for a tax deduction, subject to certain limitations, related to amounts required to be set aside in statutory contingency reserves. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information.
Radian Guaranty currently is an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs. Private mortgage insurers, including Radian Guaranty, are required to comply with the PMIERs to remain approved insurers of loans purchased by the GSEs. At June 30, 2022, Radian Guaranty’s Available Assets under the PMIERs financial requirements totaled approximately $5.2 billion, resulting in a PMIERs Cushion of $1.4 billion, or 38%, over its Minimum Required Assets. Those amounts compare to Available Assets of $5.4 billion and a PMIERs cushion of $2.1 billion, or 62%, at December 31, 2021.
The primary driver of the decrease in Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs Cushion during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was a decrease in Available Assets, primarily due to the $500 million return of capital from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, as discussed above, partially offset by positive cash flows from operating activities, combined with an increase in Minimum Required Assets.
Our PMIERs Cushion at June 30, 2022, also includes a benefit from the current broad-based application of the Disaster Related Capital Charge that has reduced the total amount of Minimum Required Assets that Radian Guaranty otherwise would have been required to hold against pandemic-related defaults by approximately $200 million and $300 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, taking into consideration our risk distribution structures in effect as of that date. The application of the Disaster Related Capital Charge has reduced Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs Minimum Required Assets, but we expect this impact will diminish over time. See “Item 1. Business—Regulation—Federal Regulation—GSE Requirements for Mortgage Insurance Eligibility” in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information about the Disaster Related Capital Charge, and for further information, including on the expiration of the COVID-19 Crisis Period.
Even though they hold assets in excess of 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
61
Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
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.
In light of Radian Guaranty’s negative unassigned surplus related to operating losses in prior periods and the ongoing need to set aside contingency reserves, Radian Guaranty is not currently permitted under applicable insurance laws to pay dividends or other distributions without prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. Under Pennsylvania’s insurance laws, an insurer must obtain the Pennsylvania Insurance Department’s approval to pay an Extraordinary Distribution. Radian Guaranty sought and received such approval to return capital by paying Extraordinary Distributions to Radian Group, most recently in February 2022. Based on the current strong performance and assuming the continuation of favorable credit performance in our mortgage insurance business, we expect that Radian Guaranty could potentially have positive unassigned surplus by 2023. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on our Extraordinary Distributions, statutory dividend restrictions and contingency reserve requirements.
Radian Guaranty and Radian Reinsurance are both members of the FHLB. As members, they 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 purposes and for purchases of additional investment securities that have similar durations, for the purpose of generating additional earnings from our investment securities portfolio with limited incremental risk. As of June 30, 2022, there were $184.3 million of FHLB advances outstanding. See Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
homegenius
As of June 30, 2022, our homegenius segment maintained cash and liquid investments totaling $79.9 million, including $44.8 million held by Radian Title Insurance.
Title insurance companies, including Radian Title Insurance, are subject to comprehensive state regulations, including minimum net worth requirements. Radian Title Insurance was in compliance with all of its minimum net worth requirements at June 30, 2022. In the event the cash flows from operations of the homegenius segment are not adequate to fund all of its needs, including the regulatory capital needs of Radian Title Insurance, Radian Group may provide additional funds to the homegenius segment in the form of an intercompany note or other capital contribution. Amounts provided to Radian Title Insurance are subject to the approval of the Ohio Department of Insurance. Additional capital support may also be required for potential investments in new business initiatives to support our strategy of growing our businesses.
Liquidity levels may fluctuate depending on the levels and contractual timing of our invoicing and the payment practices of our homegenius clients, in combination with the timing of our homegenius segment’s payments for employee compensation and to external vendors. The amount, if any, and timing of the homegenius segment’s dividend paying capacity will depend primarily on the amount of excess cash flow generated by the segment.

Critical Accounting Estimates
As of the filing date of this report, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates from those discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K. See Note 2 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that may impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, earnings, cash flows or disclosures.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market conditions. Examples of market risk include changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. We regularly analyze our exposure to interest-rate risk and credit-spread risk and have determined that the fair value of our investments is materially exposed to changes in both interest rates and credit spreads. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our success depends, in part, on our ability to manage risks in our investment portfolio” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Our market risk exposures at June 30, 2022, have not materially changed from those identified in our 2021
