- Description of Business
We are a mortgage and real estate company, providing both credit-related mortgage insurance coverage and an array of products and services across the residential real estate and mortgage finance industries. We haveone reportable business segment—Mortgage Insurance.
Mortgage Insurance
Our Mortgage Insurance segment provides credit-related insurance coverage, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. We provide our mortgage insurance products and services through our wholly owned subsidiary, Radian Guaranty.
Private mortgage insurance plays an important role in the U.S. housing finance system because it promotes affordable home ownership and helps protect mortgage lenders and mortgage investors, as well as other beneficiaries such as the GSEs, by mitigating default-related losses on residential mortgage loans. Generally, these loans are made to home buyers who make down payments of less than 20% of the purchase price for their home or, in the case of refinancings, have less than 20% equity in their home. Private mortgage insurance also facilitates the sale of these low down payment loans in the secondary mortgage market, almost all of which are currently sold to the GSEs.
Our total direct primary mortgage IIF and RIF were$276.7 billion and$72.8 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2025, compared to$275.1 billion and$72.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
As our primary mortgage insurance subsidiary, Radian Guaranty is subject to various capital and financial requirements imposed by the GSEs and state insurance regulators. These include the PMIERs financial requirements, as well as Risk-to-capital and other risk-based capital measures and surplus requirements. Failure to comply with these capital and financial requirements may limit the amount of insurance that Radian Guaranty writes or may prohibit it from writing insurance altogether. The GSEs and state insurance regulators possess significant discretion regarding all aspects of Radian Guaranty’s business. See Note 16 for additional information on PMIERs and other regulatory information.
All Other
We report on our other operating segments and business activities within an All Other category, which includes the results of our Mortgage Conduit, Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses.
See Note 4 for additional information about our Mortgage Insurance reportable segment and All Other business activities.
Risks and Uncertainties
In assessing the Company’s current financial condition and developing forecasts of future operations, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to potential factors impacting our financial and liquidity position. These judgments and estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect amounts reported in our financial statements in future periods and that could cause actual results to be materially different from our estimates.
- Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Radian Group and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, and intercompany profits and losses, have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to the instructions set forth in Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC.
We generally refer to our holding company alone, without its consolidated subsidiaries, as “Radian Group.” We refer to Radian Group together with its consolidated subsidiaries as “Radian,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context requires otherwise. Unless otherwise defined in this report, certain terms and acronyms used throughout this report are defined in the Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms included as part of this report.
The financial information presented for interim periods is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
To fully understand the basis of presentation, these interim financial statements and related notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. While the amounts included in our condensed consolidated financial statements include our best estimates and assumptions, actual results may vary materially.
Other Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for information regarding other significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies from those discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, an update which enhances income tax disclosures. This guidance requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This update is applicable to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our annual disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires enhanced disclosures of certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This update is applicable to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance will have on our disclosures.
- Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average number of dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares relate to our share-based compensation arrangements.
The calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows.
| Net income per share | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three Months EndedJune 30, | Six Months EndedJune 30, | |||
| (In thousands, except per-share amounts) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net income—basic and diluted | $141,796 | $151,903 | $286,354 | $304,257 |
| Average common shares outstanding—basic | 137,376 | 153,110 | 141,910 | 153,879 |
| Dilutive effect of share-based compensation arrangements (1) | 984 | 1,289 | 1,102 | 1,392 |
| Adjusted average common shares outstanding—diluted | 138,360 | 154,399 | 143,012 | 155,271 |
| Net income per share | ||||
| Basic | $1.03 | $0.99 | $2.02 | $1.98 |
| Diluted | $1.02 | $0.98 | $2.00 | $1.96 |
(1)
The following number of shares of our common stock equivalents issued under our share-based compensation arrangements are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
| Three Months EndedJune 30, | Six Months EndedJune 30, | |||

| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Shares of common stock equivalents | 2 | 64 | 1 | 39 |
- Segment Reporting
We haveone reportable segment, Mortgage Insurance, which derives its revenue primarily from mortgage insurance. In addition to this reportable segment, in All Other we report activities for our non-reportable operating segments and other business activities that consist of: (i) income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, our holding company; (ii) general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segment; and (iii) the operating results from certain other immaterial activities and operating segments, including our Mortgage Conduit, Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses.
We allocate corporate operating expenses to our Mortgage Insurance business and our immaterial operating businesses included in All Other based primarily on their respective forecasted annual percentage of total revenue, which approximates the estimated percentage of management time spent on each business. In addition, we allocate all corporate interest expense to our Mortgage Insurance segment, due to the capital-intensive nature of our Mortgage Insurance business. We do not manage assets by operating segments.
See Note 1 for additional details about our Mortgage Insurance business.
Adjusted Pretax Operating Income (Loss)
Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (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 businesses and to allocate resources to them.
Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, except forthose investments and other financial instruments attributable to our Mortgage Conduit business and (ii) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, if any, such as gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business, acquisition-related income (expenses) and gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, among others. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss), including the reasons for their treatment.
Although adjusted pretax operating income (loss) excludes certain items that have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future, the excluded items represent those that are: (i) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities or (ii) not expected to result in an economic impact equal to the amount reflected in pretax income (loss).
The reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) for our reportable segment to consolidated pretax income is as follows.

(2)
The non-operating item for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily relates to a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The fair value of our company-owned life insurance is estimated based on the cash surrender value less applicable surrender charges. These assets are categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9 for further information on our company-owned life insurance.
The fair value of our senior notes is estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair value of our secured borrowings is estimated based on current market rates and contractual cash flows including, for FHLB advances, any fees that may be required to be paid to the FHLB. The carrying amount of borrowings under our mortgage loan financing facilities approximates fair value due to the floating rate nature of that debt. These liabilities are all categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 12 for further information about our senior notes and secured borrowings.

There were 850 and 1,059 securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. We determined that these unrealized losses were due to non-credit factors and that, as of June 30, 2025, we did not expect to realize a loss for our investments in an unrealized loss position given our intent and ability to hold these investment securities until recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Loaned Securities
We participate in a securities lending program whereby we loan certain securities in our investment portfolio to third-party borrowers for short periods of time. Under this program, we had loaned$180 million and$139 million of our investment securities to third parties as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, including fixed-maturities, equity securities and short-term investments. Although we report such securities at fair value within other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, rather than within investments, the detailed information we provide in this Note 6 includes these securities.
All of our securities lending agreements are classified as overnight and revolving. Securities collateral on deposit with us from third-party borrowers totaling$20 million and$18 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, may not be transferred or re-pledged unless the third-party borrower is in default, and is therefore not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
See Note 5 herein for additional detail on the loaned securities and see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information about our accounting policies with respect to our securities lending agreements and the collateral requirements thereunder.
Other
Our investments include securities totaling$15 million and$14 million at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, that are on deposit and serving as collateral with various state regulatory authorities. Our fixed-maturities available for sale also include securities serving as collateral for our FHLB advances. See Note 12 for additional information about our FHLB advances.
- Residential Mortgage Loans
Radian Mortgage Capital, our mortgage conduit subsidiary, acquires residential mortgage loans with the intention of then either selling the loans directly to mortgage investors, including the GSEs, or distributing them into the capital markets through private label securitizations, with the option to retain and manage certain components of the underlying credit risk.
During the aggregation period following loan acquisition, we carry these loans as residential mortgage loans held for sale until the loan is either sold or securitized. Net gains (losses) associated with these residential mortgage loans held for sale and any related hedges are included in net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income on these residential mortgage loans held for sale is included in net investment income, while interest expense on mortgage loan financing facilities is reported in interest expense.
For those loans that are ultimately contributed to a securitization, we perform an analysis of our ongoing participation and rights in the securitization to determine if we need to consolidate the securitization trust. If we conclude that we are required to consolidate the securitization trust and continue to reflect those securitized mortgage loans on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, we then reclassify those loans as securitized residential mortgage loans held for investment and record the prospective change in fair value and interest income and expense as total income (loss) on VIEs, as described further below.
Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
The carrying value of our residential mortgage loans held for sale owned by Radian Mortgage Capital totaled$698 million and$520 million at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is based on fair value. The estimated fair value of our residential mortgage loans held for sale is subject to, among other things, changes in mortgage interest rates from the date we agree to purchase the mortgage loan through the date we agree to sell the mortgage loan. To mitigate this interest rate risk, we enter into certain derivative contracts with third parties during the period from the commitment to purchase the mortgage loans until the loans are either securitized or sold directly to mortgage investors. We elected the fair value option for our residential mortgage loans held for sale to allow for consistent treatment of both mortgage loans and any associated hedges or derivatives.
As of June 30, 2025, our residential mortgage loans held for sale consisted of 832 mortgage loans with a total unpaid principal balance, as reported to us by our sub-servicers, of$690 million, related to properties in 46 states and the District of Columbia. As measured by the unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2025,99% of these loans were originated in the past six months, including 76% that were originated in the second quarter of 2025. Loans on properties in California accounted for 24% of this balance, withno other state concentration exceeding 10% as of June 30, 2025. The majority of the loans we hold are non-agency loans, with balances in excess of the GSEs’ conforming loan limits and with credit risk characteristics commensurate with the prime jumbo private label securitization market. As of June 30, 2025, none of these mortgage loans were greater than ninety days delinquent or in nonaccrual status.
Further, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had commitments to purchase and fund additional recently originated mortgage loans with a total unpaid principal balance of$230 million. Prior to the settlement and funding of these loan purchases, any unrealized net gains (losses) related to these commitments are recorded as derivative assets or liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the corresponding gain or loss included in net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table reflects the outstanding derivative instruments related to our mortgage loan activity as of the dates indicated.

Notional amounts provide an indication of the volume of the Company’s derivative capacity. For our hedging instruments, the notional amount is the face amount of our contracts and does not represent our exposure to credit loss and therefore is not reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

All of the derivatives used for hedging purposes are interest rate derivatives subject to master netting agreements and are considered economic hedges.

We primarily fund the purchases of our residential mortgage loans held for sale with amounts borrowed under our mortgage loan financing facilities. See Note 12 for additional information on these facilities and their related terms and covenants.
Net investment income earned on our residential mortgage loans held for sale and interest expense incurred on our mortgage loan financing facilities consists of the following.

In addition to the debt covenants under its financing facilities, Radian Mortgage Capital is also subject to certain requirements established by state and other regulators and loan purchasers, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, such as certain minimum net worth and capital requirements and ratios. As of June 30, 2025, the most restrictive of these financial conditions required Radian Mortgage Capital to maintain a ratio of tangible net worth to total assets of at least 6%. As of June 30, 2025, Radian Mortgage Capital’s tangible net worth was$74 million, compared to a required minimum tangible net worth of$45 million based on this ratio. Changes in the fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale and related hedges could materially impact Radian Mortgage Capital’s net worth in future periods. To the extent any capital requirements are not met, regulators and loan purchasers may exercise certain remedies, which may include, as applicable, prohibiting Radian Mortgage Capital from purchasing, selling or servicing loans. As of June 30, 2025, Radian Mortgage Capital was in compliance with all such requirements.
Securitized Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Investment
During the first half of 2025, Radian Mortgage Capital closed two private label prime jumbo securitization transactions. The securitizations involved the transfer of portfolios of residential mortgage loans to newly created special purpose vehicles, Radian Mortgage Capital Trust (“RMCT”) 2025-J1 and RMCT 2025-J2, and the private offering and issuance of$368 million and$396 million, respectively, of unregistered mortgage pass-through certificates collateralized by the cash flows of the underlying residential mortgage loans. From time to time Radian Mortgage Capital and its affiliates (excluding its mortgage insurance affiliates) may retain and hold an interest in certain of the certificates, and at the closing of each of the two transactions in the first half of 2025 and the two transactions in 2024, we retained an interest in certain of the certificates. Because these securitizations consist entirely of qualified mortgages as defined in the Dodd-Frank Act, pursuant to applicable federal securities laws and regulations, Radian Mortgage Capital is not obligated to retain these certificates for a minimum length of time as part of any risk retention requirements.
We concluded that the special purpose vehicles created to facilitate these four securitization transactions are VIEs, primarily due to the minimal equity that the securitization trusts hold to be able to finance their activities without additional support. In addition to being the sponsor and depositor for the trusts, our involvement with these VIEs is ongoing and includes retaining the subordinate certificates that are in a first loss position and maintaining certain discretionary rights associated with those subordinate investments, including certain rights to direct the loss mitigation activities of the servicer. As a result of our having both: (i) the economic obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits that could be significant to each VIE and (ii) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE, we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. As a result, we consolidate the assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of the securitization trusts on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Because we were already carrying the loans transferred to the trusts at fair value prior to the securitization, consistent with our policy election for all residential mortgage loans held for sale, we did not recognize any material gain or loss upon consolidation of these VIEs.
Although we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and consolidate the trusts’ activities, the holders of the securitized debt have no recourse to the general credit of Radian and we neither own nor are liable for the assets and liabilities of the VIEs. Our exposure to these trusts is primarily through the risk of loss on the interests we have retained, as well as the obligation, under certain circumstances, for Radian Mortgage Capital to repurchase assets from the VIEs upon the breach of certain representations and warranties made with respect to the residential mortgage loans transferred to the VIEs. Furthermore, liquidity available at the consolidated VIEs is not available for corporate liquidity needs, other than through distributions on the certificates we have retained.
We have elected the fair value option for the initial and subsequent recognition of the securitized residential mortgage loans and the related liabilities issued by the consolidated VIEs. Electing this option allows us to record changes in fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, which, in management’s view, appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all activities will be recorded in a comparable manner.
As a result of this fair value election, we report both the assets and liabilities of each consolidated VIE at fair value, including reporting the VIE’s mortgage loans in securitized residential mortgage loans held for investment and the asset-backed securities issued by the VIE in securitized nonrecourse debt. We eliminate from this debt the value of the certificates that we retained. As of June 30, 2025, the net reported value of the consolidated VIE assets and liabilities was$30 million, which represents the aggregate fair value of our retained interests from the VIE, including accrued interest, as of that date.
The following table details the components of our consolidated VIE assets and liabilities by securitization as of the dates indicated.

We report the net financial results from consolidated VIEs in income (loss) on consolidated VIEs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which also equals the income (loss) from our retained interests in any given period, based on the interest income and change in fair value for those interests. As of June 30, 2025, none of the loans in the securitization trusts were greater than ninety days delinquent or in nonaccrual status.
The following table details the components of income (loss) on consolidated VIEs for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025. There was no activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Use of securitizations is part of the overall business strategy for Radian Mortgage Capital. It is possible that we may consolidate additional VIEs in future periods, depending on the facts and circumstances regarding our involvement with each VIE. We continuously analyze entities in which we hold variable interests, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether our consolidation conclusions regarding any VIE should change.
- Reinsurance
In our mortgage insurance and title insurance businesses, we use reinsurance as part of our risk distribution strategy, including to manage our capital position and risk profile. The reinsurance arrangements for our Mortgage Insurance business include premiums ceded under the QSR Program and the XOL Program. The initial and ongoing credit that we receive under the PMIERs financial requirements for these risk distribution transactions is subject to the periodic review of the GSEs.
The effect of all of our reinsurance programs on our net premiums written and earned is as follows.

QSR Program
2024, 2023 and 2022 QSR Agreements
Radian Guaranty entered into each of the 2024, 2023 and 2022 QSR Agreements with panels of third-party reinsurance providers to cede a contractual quota share percentage of certain of our NIW, which includes both Recurring Premium Policies and Single Premium Policies (as set forth in the table below), subject to certain conditions, including a limitation for the 2024 QSR Agreement on ceded RIF equal to $4.3 billion over the term of the agreement.
Radian Guaranty receives a ceding commission for ceded premiums earned pursuant to these transactions. Radian Guaranty is also entitled to receive a profit commission quarterly, subject to a final annual re-calculation, provided that the loss ratio on the loans covered under the agreements generally remains below the applicable prescribed thresholds. Losses on the ceded risk up to these thresholds reduce Radian Guaranty’s profit commission on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
As of July 1, 2025, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the 2024 QSR agreement. As of July 1, 2024, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the 2023 QSR Agreement. As of July 1, 2023, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the 2022 QSR Agreement.
Single Premium QSR Program
Radian Guaranty entered into each of the 2016 Single Premium QSR Agreement, 2018 Single Premium QSR Agreement and 2020 Single Premium QSR Agreement with panels of third-party reinsurers to cede a contractual quota share percentage of our Single Premium NIW as of the effective date of each agreement (as set forth in the table below), subject to certain conditions.
Radian Guaranty receives a ceding commission for ceded premiums written pursuant to these transactions. Radian Guaranty also receives a profit commission annually, provided that the loss ratio on the loans covered under the agreement generally remains below the applicable prescribed thresholds. Losses on the ceded risk up to these thresholds reduce Radian Guaranty’s profit commission on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
As of January 1, 2022, Radian Guaranty is no longer ceding NIW under the Single Premium QSR Program.

Radian Guaranty has the option, based on certain conditions and subject to a termination fee, to terminate any of the agreements at the end of any calendar quarter on or after the applicable optional termination date. If Radian Guaranty exercises this option in the future, it would result in Radian Guaranty reassuming the related RIF in exchange for a net payment to the reinsurers calculated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Radian Guaranty also may terminate any of the agreements prior to the scheduled termination date under certain circumstances, including if one or both of the GSEs no longer grant full PMIERs credit for the reinsurance.
2025, 2026 and 2027 QSR Agreements
During the second quarter of 2025, Radian Guaranty agreed to terms onthree quota share reinsurance arrangements (collectively, the “New QSR Agreements”), each with its own panel of third-party reinsurance providers. Under the New QSR Agreements, starting July 1, 2025 (the “2025 QSR Agreement”), July 1, 2026 (the “2026 QSR Agreement”) and July 1, 2027 (the “2027 QSR Agreement”), we expect to cede 30%,30% and 15%, respectively, of NIW over three sequentialone-year periods. Subject to certain conditions, the 2025 QSR Agreement covers NIW between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026; the 2026 QSR Agreement covers NIW between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027; and the 2027 QSR Agreement covers NIW between July 1, 2027, and June 30, 2028(each of these sequential one-year periods being referred to herein as the “Fill-Up Period”). Radian Guaranty has the option to discontinue ceding new policies under each of the New QSR Agreements at the end of any calendar quarter.
Radian Guaranty will receive a ceding commission for ceded premiums written pursuant to each of the New QSR Agreements. Additionally, for each of the New QSR Agreements, Radian Guaranty will receive a profit commission annually, provided that the loss ratio on the loans covered under the applicable agreement generally remains below the applicable prescribed thresholds. Losses on the ceded risk up to the applicable thresholds in each of the New QSR Agreements will reduce Radian Guaranty’s profit commission on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Each New QSR Agreement will remain in effect for a period of 10 years from the end of the applicable Fill-Up Period, unless terminated earlier. Radian Guaranty has the option, based on certain conditions and subject to a termination fee, to terminate the 2025 QSR Agreement, the 2026 QSR Agreement and the 2027 QSR Agreement as of July 1, 2029, July 1, 2030, and July 1, 2031, respectively, 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 applicable agreement. Radian Guaranty also may terminate each of the New QSR Agreements prior to the scheduled termination date under certain other circumstances.
XOL Program
Mortgage Insurance-linked Notes
Radian Guaranty has entered into fully collateralized reinsurance arrangements with the Eagle Re Issuers, as described below. For the respective coverage periods, Radian Guaranty retains the first-loss layer of aggregate losses, as well as any losses in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amounts. The Eagle Re Issuers provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding coverage amounts. For each of these reinsurance arrangements, the Eagle Re Issuers financed their coverage by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes to eligible capital markets investors in unregistered private offerings.
The aggregate excess-of-loss reinsurance coverage for these arrangements decreases over the maturity period of the mortgage insurance-linked notes (either a 10-year or 12.5-year period depending on the transaction) as the principal balances of the underlying covered mortgages decrease and as any claims are paid by the applicable Eagle Re Issuer or the mortgage insurance is canceled. Radian Guaranty has rights to terminate the reinsurance agreements upon the occurrence of certain events, including an optional call feature that provides Radian Guaranty the right to terminate the transaction on or after the optional call date (5 or 7 years after the issuance of the mortgage insurance-linked notes depending on the transaction) and a right to exercise an optional clean-up call if the outstanding principal amount of the related mortgage insurance-linked notes falls below 10% of the initial coverage level or principal balance, depending on the transaction, of the related mortgage insurance-linked notes.
Under each of the reinsurance agreements, the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount will begin amortizing after an initial period in which a target level of credit enhancement is obtained and will stop amortizing if certain thresholds, or triggers, are reached, including a delinquency trigger event based on an elevated level of delinquencies as defined in the related mortgage insurance-linked notes transaction agreements.
The Eagle Re Issuers are not subsidiaries or affiliates of Radian Guaranty. Based on the accounting guidance that addresses VIEs, we have not consolidated any of the assets and liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers in our financial statements, because Radian does not have: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the Eagle Re Issuers’ economic performances or (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the Eagle Re Issuers that potentially could be significant to the Eagle Re Issuers. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for more information on our accounting treatment of VIEs.
The reinsurance premium due to the Eagle Re Issuers is calculated by multiplying the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount at the beginning of a period by a coupon rate, which is the sum of SOFR, plus a contractual risk margin, and then subtracting actual investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trust during the preceding month. As a result, the amount of monthly reinsurance premiums ceded to the Eagle Re Issuers will fluctuate due to changes in one-month SOFR and changes in money market rates that affect investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trusts. 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 2024 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, Radian Guaranty would nonetheless be liable to make claims payments to our policyholders. In the event that all of the assets in the reinsurance trust (consisting of U.S. government money market funds, cash or U.S. Treasury securities) become worthless and the Eagle Re Issuer is unable to make its payments to us, our maximum potential loss would be the amount of mortgage insurance claim payments for losses on the insured policies, net of the aggregate reinsurance payments already received, up to the full aggregate excess-of-loss reinsurance coverage amount. In the same scenario, the related embedded derivative would no longer have value.
The following table presents the total VIE assets and liabilities of the Eagle Re Issuers as of the dates indicated.
| Total VIE assets and liabilities of Eagle Re Issuers (1) | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | June 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |

| Total | $609,272 | $729,181 |
(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.
Traditional Reinsurance
For the coverage period under our traditional XOL reinsurance agreement, Radian Guaranty retains the first-loss layer of aggregate losses, as well as any losses in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amounts. The reinsurers provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding coverage amounts. Radian Guaranty is then responsible for any losses in excess of the reinsurance coverage amount.
The 2023 XOL Agreement, which was executed in October 2023, is scheduled to terminate September 30, 2033. Radian Guaranty has the option to terminate the agreement under certain circumstances, including the option to terminate the agreement as of September 30, 2028, or at the end of any calendar quarter thereafter. Termination would result in Radian Guaranty reassuming the related RIF. In the event Radian Guaranty does not exercise its right to terminate the agreement on September 30, 2028, the monthly premium rate will increase from the original monthly premium.

Radian Group purchased$45 million of Eagle Re 2021-1 Ltd. outstanding principal amounts of the respective mortgage insurance-linked notes issued in connection with that reinsurance transaction. On our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, these notes are included either in fixed-maturities available for sale or, if included in our securities lending program, in other assets. See Notes 5 and 6 for additional information.
Other Collateral
Although we use reinsurance as one of our risk management tools, reinsurance does not relieve us of our obligations to our policyholders. In the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations to us, our insurance subsidiaries would be liable for any defaulted amounts. However, consistent with the PMIERs reinsurer counterparty collateral requirements, the third-party reinsurers to Radian Guaranty have established trusts to help secure our potential cash recoveries. In addition to the total VIE assets of the Eagle Re Issuers discussed above, the amount held in reinsurance trusts was$295 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to$283 million as of December 31, 2024.
In addition, primarily for the Single Premium QSR Program, Radian Guaranty holds amounts related to ceded premiums written to collateralize the reinsurers’ obligations, in reinsurance funds withheld which are reported in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any loss recoveries and profit commissions paid to Radian Guaranty related to the Single Premium QSR Program are expected to be realized from this account. See Note 9 for additional detail on our reinsurance funds withheld balances.

- Income Taxes
We use the estimated effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes in interim periods. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our current federal income tax liability primarily relates to applying the accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes and is included as a component of other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 for detail on the components of our other liabilities.
As a mortgage guaranty insurer, we are eligible for a tax deduction, subject to certain limitations, under Internal Revenue Code Section 832(e) for amounts required by state law or regulation to be set aside in statutory contingency reserves. The deduction is allowed only to the extent that, in conjunction with quarterly federal tax payment due dates, we purchase non-interest bearing U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from deducting any portion of our statutory contingency reserves. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we held$998 million and$921 million, respectively, of these bonds, which are included as prepaid federal income taxes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding deduction of our statutory contingency reserves resulted in the recognition of a net deferred tax liability.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted, which introduced permanent changes to the U.S. tax code. Among other items, and most relevant to Radian, the Act reinstates and makes permanent 100% bonus depreciation and restores the immediate expensing for domestic research and experimentation costs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
For additional information on our income taxes, including our accounting policies, see Notes 2 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Related to ceded losses recoverable, if any, on reinsurance transactions. See Note 8 for additional information.
(2)
Related to underlying defaulted loans with a most recent default notice dated in the year indicated. For example, if a loan had defaulted in a prior year, but then subsequently cured and later re-defaulted in the current year, that default would be considered a current year default.
Reserve Activity
Incurred Losses
Total incurred losses are driven by: (i) case reserves established for new default notices, which are primarily impacted by both the number of new primary default notices received in the period and our related gross Default to Claim Rate and Claim Severity assumptions applied to those new defaults and (ii) reserve developments on prior period defaults, which are primarily impacted by changes to our prior Default to Claim Rate and Claim Severity assumptions applied to these loans.
New primary default notices totaled 23,972 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 22,860 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of 5%. We believe this increase in new primary defaults is mainly due to the natural seasoning of our insured portfolio given the increase in our IIF in recent years and not the result of deteriorating credit performance of the insured portfolio.
Our gross Default to Claim Rate assumption applied to new defaults was 7.5% and 8.0% as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively, based on our review of trends in Cures and claims paid for our default inventory and taking into consideration the risks and uncertainties associated with the current economic environment.
Our provision for losses during both the first six months of 2025 and 2024 was positively impacted by favorable reserve development on prior year defaults, primarily as a result of more favorable trends in Cures than originally estimated. These Cures have been due primarily to favorable outcomes resulting from positive trends in home price appreciation, which has also contributed to a higher rate of claims that result in no ultimate loss to us and that are withdrawn by servicers as a result. These favorable observed trends for prior year default notices resulted in reductions in our Default to Claim Rate and other reserve assumptions in both of the first six months of 2025 and 2024, including our Claim Severity assumptions in the 2024 period.
Claims Paid
Total claims paid were slightly higher for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Mortgage Loan Financing Facilities
Radian Mortgage Capital has entered into the Master Repurchase Agreements, which are collateralized borrowing facilities used to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans and related mortgage loan assets. Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreements, Radian Mortgage Capital may from time to time sell, and later repurchase, certain residential mortgage loan assets, which effectively equates to a borrowing secured by the mortgage loans and, therefore, we report amounts funded by our mortgage loan financing facilities as secured borrowings on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Currently, the maximum borrowing amounts under the Goldman Sachs Master Repurchase Agreement, the BMO
Master Repurchase Agreement, the JP Morgan Master Repurchase Agreement and the Everbank Master Repurchase Agreement are$200 million,$400 million,$400 million and$125 million, respectively. The Goldman Sachs Master Repurchase Agreement, the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement, the JP Morgan Master Repurchase Agreement and the Everbank Master Repurchase Agreement are currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2025, September 24, 2025, December 12, 2025, and April 29, 2026, respectively.
The borrowings under the Master Repurchase Agreements bear variable interest rates based on one-month SOFR or compounded SOFR, depending on the agreement, plus an applicable margin, with interest payable monthly. Principal is due upon the earliest of the sale or disposition of the related mortgage loans, the occurrence of certain default or acceleration events or at the termination date of the applicable Master Repurchase Agreement.
Funds advanced under the Master Repurchase Agreements generally will be calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance or fair value of the residential mortgage loan assets, depending on the credit characteristics of the loans being purchased. Of our residential mortgage loans held for sale,$691 million and$515 million served as collateral for the Master Repurchase Agreements to support the funds advanced at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
FHLB Advances
The principal balance of the FHLB advances is required to be collateralized by eligible assets with a fair value that must be maintained generally within a minimum range of 103% to 114% of the amount borrowed, depending on the type of assets pledged. Our investments include securities totaling$105 million and$49 million at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, which serve as collateral for our FHLB advances to satisfy this requirement.
Revolving Credit Facility
Radian Group has in place a$275 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders. During the second quarter of 2025, we borrowed and repaid in full$50 million under this facility. As of June 30, 2025, there wereno amounts outstanding under this facility.
Debt Covenants and Other Information
As of June 30, 2025, we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants, including for our senior notes. For more information regarding our borrowings and financing activities, including certain terms, covenants and Parent Guarantees provided by Radian Group in connection with particular borrowings, see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Share Repurchase Activity
From time to time, Radian Group’s board of directors approves and authorizes the Company to repurchase Radian Group common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Radian generally executes its share repurchases pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, which permits the Company to purchase shares when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so.
As of June 30, 2025, Radian hadtwo outstanding share repurchase authorizations in effect. Under the first authorization, which commenced in January 2023 and is scheduled to expire in June 2026, the Company is authorizedto repurchase shares up to$900 million, excluding commissions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased 7.0 million and 13.4 million shares at an average price of$32.05 and$32.06 per share, including commissions, respectively, pursuant to this share repurchase authorization. As of June 30, 2025, purchase authority of up to$113 million remained available under this authorization.
In May 2025, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized the Company to purchase shares up to an additional $750 million, excluding commissions. Under this second authorization, the full amount remained available as of June 30, 2025. Use of this authorization will commence once the first authorization is exhausted or expires, whichever occurs earlier, and is scheduled to expire in December 2027.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts presented in this report related to our share repurchases and our share repurchase authorizations exclude such excise taxes, to the extent applicable.
Dividends and Dividend Equivalents
In February 2025, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized an increase in the Company’s quarterly dividend from$0.245 to$0.255 per share, beginning with the dividend declared and paid in the first quarter of 2025.

N/A – Not applicable
Dividend equivalents are accrued on RSUs when dividends are declared on the Company’s common stock and are typically paid upon vesting of the shares. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for information about our dividend equivalents on RSU awards.
Share-Based and Other Compensation Programs
During the second quarter of 2025, certain executive and non-executive officers were granted time-vested and performance-based RSUs to be settled in shares of Radian common stock. The maximum payout of performance-based RSUs at the end of thethree-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: (i) the cumulative growth in Radian’s book value per share over athree-year performance period, adjusted for certain defined items, and as modified based on a comparison of our total shareholder return to the total shareholder return of certain of our peers and (ii) 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 the second quarter of 2025 generally vest in pro rata installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, time-vested RSU awards, which are generally subject toone-year cliff vesting, were also granted to non-employee directors. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s share-based and other compensation programs.

(1)
Outstanding RSUs represent shares that have not yet been issued because not all conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. For performance-based awards, the final number of RSUs distributed depends on: (i) the cumulative growth in Radian’s book value per share adjusted for certain defined items over the respective three-year performance period and, for the performance-based RSUs granted starting in 2023, a modifier based on a comparison of our total shareholder return to the total shareholder return of certain of our peers and (ii) with the exception of certain retirement-eligible employees, continued service through the vesting date, which could result in changes to the number of vested RSUs.
(2)
For performance-based RSUs, amount represents the number of target shares at grant date.
(3)
For performance-based RSUs, amount represents the difference between the number of shares vested at settlement, which can range from 0 to 200% of target depending on results over the applicable performance periods, and the number of target shares at the grant date.
(4)
For both performance-based and time-based RSUs, amount represents the number of shares vested during the period, including the impact of performance adjustments for performance-based awards.

| Radian Title Insurance | 44,591 | 43,540 |
Under state insurance regulations, Radian Guaranty is required to maintain minimum surplus levels and, in certain states, a maximum ratio of net RIF relative to statutory capital, or Risk-to-capital. The most common Statutory RBC Requirement is that a mortgage insurer’s Risk-to-capital may not exceed 25 to 1. In certain of the RBC States, a mortgage insurer must satisfy an MPP Requirement. Radian Guaranty was in compliance with all applicable Statutory RBC Requirements and MPP Requirements in each of the RBC States as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital was 10.3:1 and 10.2:1 as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. For purposes of the Risk-to-capital requirements imposed by certain states, statutory capital is defined as the sum of statutory policyholders’ surplus plus statutory contingency reserves. Our other mortgage insurance and title insurance subsidiaries were also in compliance with all statutory and counterparty capital requirements as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
In addition, in order to be eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs, mortgage insurers such as Radian Guaranty must meet the GSEs’ eligibility requirements, or PMIERs. At June 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty, an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs, was in compliance with the current PMIERs financial requirements.
State insurance regulations include various capital requirements and dividend restrictions based on our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory financial position and results of operations. As of June 30, 2025, the amount of restricted net assets held by our consolidated insurance subsidiaries (which represents our equity investment in those insurance subsidiaries) totaled$4.5 billion of our consolidated net assets.
While all proposed dividends and distributions to stockholders must be filed with the Pennsylvania Insurance Department before payment, if a Pennsylvania domiciled insurer has positive unassigned surplus, such insurer can pay dividends or other distributions out of unassigned surplus during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount less than or equal to the greater of: (i) 10% of the preceding year-end statutory policyholders’ surplus or (ii) the preceding year’s statutory net income, in each case without the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.
Radian Guaranty had positive unassigned surplus of$223 million as of December 31, 2024, providing it with the ability to pay ordinary dividends in the first quarter of 2025, subject to the above restrictions under Pennsylvania’s insurance laws. Additionally, statutory accounting principles permit insurance companies with positive unassigned funds, such as Radian Guaranty, to return capital through distributions from paid in surplus, not just distributions as dividends from unassigned surplus. Under Pennsylvania insurance laws, an insurer must receive approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to account for a distribution as a return of capital. Radian Guaranty sought and received such approval to treat its$200 million distribution to Radian Group in the first quarter of 2025 as a return of capital from paid in surplus. As a result, during the first quarter of 2025, Radian Guaranty’s common stock and paid in surplus balance declined from $500 million to $300 million, while its positive unassigned surplus increased to $408 million.
Based on its positive unassigned surplus balance as of March 31, 2025, Radian Guaranty also paid an ordinary dividend to Radian Group of$200 million in the second quarter of 2025. Subsequent to the payment of this dividend, as of June 30, 2025, Radian Guaranty had positive unassigned surplus of$381 million. Radian Guaranty maintains the ability to pay additional ordinary dividends during the remainder of 2025.
For a full description of our compliance with statutory and other regulations for our mortgage insurance and title insurance businesses, including statutory capital requirements and dividend restrictions, see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.
