RADIAN GROUP INC

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

Our Mortgage Insurance segment aggregates, manages and distributes U.S. mortgage credit risk for the benefit of mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans.

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

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

In addition, as discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein, the impact of the recent actions of the current presidential administration on, among other things, the macroeconomic environment and regulatory policies could exacerbate the risks and uncertainties set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K and could negatively impact our businesses and financial results. See also “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional discussion of the primary factors affecting the current operating environment for our businesses.

Despite risks and uncertainties, we believe that mortgage industry fundamentals remain strong, including as a result of the improvements to the mortgage and real estate ecosystem since the great financial crisis in 2008, such as more stringent underwriting and product standards, higher-quality borrowers with strong credit profiles and strengthened mortgage loan servicing and government support to help borrowers stay in their homes. Consistent with the trends observed in recent periods, the economic and market conditions impacting our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, remained generally favorable.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

We are subject to comprehensive regulation by both federal and state regulatory authorities. For a description of significant state and federal regulations and other requirements of the GSEs that are applicable to our businesses, as well as legislative and regulatory developments affecting the housing finance industry, see “Item 1. Business—Regulation” in our 2024 Form 10-K. There were no significant regulatory developments impacting our businesses from those discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K, other than the following.

Credit Score Models. In October 2022, the FHFA announced that as part of a multi-year effort, the GSEs intended to replace their use of Classic FICO credit scores with FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0 credit scores, which are intended to improve accuracy by capturing additional payment histories for borrowers when available, such as rent, utilities, and telecom payments. On July 8, 2025, FHFA announced that the GSEs will allow lenders to use a credit score generated by either the Classic FICO model or the VantageScore 4.0 model. As a mortgage insurer, Radian Guaranty uses credit scores in several areas of its operations and adoption of the new credit scores requires planning and analysis to, among other things, understand how these scores calibrate to Radian Guaranty’s credit risk models. The Company is evaluating the impact of this most recent announcement, and while we expect the operational impacts could be significant, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Mortgage Insurance Income Tax Deduction for Borrowers. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), which became effective July 4, 2025, makes permanent an income tax deduction for mortgage insurance premiums paid by borrowers, including private mortgage insurance premiums, and makes that deduction effective beginning in 2026. The mortgage insurance tax deduction in the Act reinstates a deduction for taxpayers that had previously been in effect from 2007 through 2021, and which is expected to help support affordable homeownership by reducing costs for eligible low down payment borrowers.
