Risks Related to Liquidity and Financing
Our sources of liquidity may be insufficient to fund our obligations.
Radian Group serves as the holding company for our operating subsidiaries and does not have any operations of its own. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Analysis—Holding Company” for more information on our available liquidity and short-term and long-term liquidity demands.
As discussed above under “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,” compliance with the PMIERs financial requirements could impact our holding company liquidity if additional capital support for Radian Guaranty is required

for it to maintain this compliance. The amount of capital that Radian Group could be required to contribute to Radian Guaranty for this purpose is uncertain but could be significant.
In addition, Radian Mortgage Capital has entered into the Master Repurchase Agreements to finance its acquisition of residential mortgage loans, and Radian Group has guaranteed the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under these loan repurchase facilities. As discussed above under “We face risks associated with our mortgage conduit business,” a decline in the value of collateral pledged under these agreements and our hedging agreements could trigger a margin call and require Radian Mortgage Capital to pledge additional collateral under these arrangements, which Radian Mortgage Capital may be unable to satisfy without a capital contribution from Radian Group. Any capital contribution could be significant in amount as this business grows.
In addition to available cash and marketable securities, Radian Group’s most significant near-term sources of cash to fund future liquidity needs include: (i) payments made to Radian Group by its subsidiaries under expense- and tax-sharing arrangements; (ii) net investment income earned on its cash and marketable securities; and (iii) to the extent available, dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Radian Guaranty’s ability to pay dividends.
Radian Group’s expense-sharing arrangements with its principal operating subsidiaries require those subsidiaries to pay their allocated share of certain holding-company-level expenses, including interest payments on Radian Group’s outstanding senior notes. The expense-sharing arrangements between Radian Group and our mortgage insurance subsidiaries, as amended, have been approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, but such approval may be modified or revoked at any time.
In light of Radian Group’s short- and long-term needs, it is possible that our sources of liquidity could be insufficient to fund its obligations. If this were to occur, we may choose not to pursue certain actions, such as issuing dividends or repurchasing shares of our common stock, or we may elect to reduce the levels of these activities to preserve our available liquidity. In addition, we may seek to increase our available liquidity, including by seeking additional capital, incurring additional debt, issuing additional equity, or selling assets, which we may be unable to do on favorable terms, if at all.
Our revolving credit facility and the Parent Guarantees we provide for the Master Repurchase Agreements to finance loan purchases in our mortgage conduit business contain covenants that are restrictive and could limit our operating flexibility. A default under our credit facility or these Parent Guarantees could trigger an event of default under the terms of our senior notes. We may not have access to funding under our credit facility when we require it.
Radian Group is a party to a $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. As of December 31, 2023, no borrowings were outstanding under the credit facility.
The credit facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain financial and other negative and affirmative covenants, including covenants related to minimum net worth and statutory capital, a maximum debt-to-capitalization level, repayment or refinancing of our senior notes at or prior to their maturity, and limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, create liens, transfer or dispose of assets and merge with or acquire other companies. The credit facility also requires that Radian Guaranty remain eligible under the PMIERs to insure loans purchased by the GSEs. A failure to comply with these covenants or the other terms of the credit facility could result in an event of default, which could: (i) result in the termination of the commitments by the lenders to make loans to Radian Group under the credit facility and (ii) enable the lenders to declare, subject to the terms and conditions of the credit facility, any outstanding obligations under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
Further, the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of our credit facility may trigger an event of default under the terms of our senior notes. An event of default would occur under the terms of our senior notes if a default: (i) in any scheduled payment of principal of other indebtedness by Radian Group or its subsidiaries of more than $100 million principal amount occurs, after giving effect to any applicable grace period or (ii) in the performance of any term or provision of any indebtedness of Radian Group or its subsidiaries in excess of $100 million principal amount occurs that results in the acceleration of the date such indebtedness is due and payable, subject to certain limited exceptions. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the carrying value of our senior notes.
In connection with our mortgage conduit, Radian Group has entered into the Parent Guarantees that guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreements. Under these Parent Guarantees, 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, as discussed above.
If we are unable to satisfy certain covenants or representations or experience an event of default under the credit facility or the Parent Guarantees, we may not have access to funding in a timely manner, or at all, when we require it. If funding is not available when we require it, our ability to continue our business practices and operations, or pursue our current strategy, could be limited. If the indebtedness under the credit facility, the guarantees or our senior notes is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it.
