RADIAN GROUP INC

Consolidated Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

(1)

Includes change in cash and restricted cash for discontinued operations, which are included in assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating Activities. Our most significant source of operating cash flows from continuing operations is from premiums received from our mortgage insurance policies, while our most significant uses of operating cash flows have typically been for our operating expenses, taxes and claims paid on our mortgage insurance policies. The increase in cash provided by operating activities, continuing operations in 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in the purchases of U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds in 2025. The increase in cash provided by operating activities, continuing operations in 2024, as compared to 2023, was primarily due to benefits from our expense reduction initiatives. Net cash flows used in operating activities from discontinued operations primarily relate to net purchases and sales of mortgage loans held for sale, which can fluctuate from period to period.

Investing Activities. The change in net cash used in investing activities, continuing operations for 2025, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities, continuing operations in 2024, was primarily driven by an increase in purchases, net of sales and redemptions on short-term investments, offset by a decrease in purchases of available for sale securities and an increase in proceeds from sales of available for sale and equity securities, as we repositioned our investment portfolio in preparation for the funding of our Inigo acquisition in early 2026. Net cash provided by investing activities, discontinued operations for 2025 was primarily driven by principal payments from securitized residential mortgage loans held for investment.

Net cash provided by investing activities, continuing operations increased for 2024, as compared to cash used in investing activities in 2023, primarily due to sales and redemptions, net of purchases, of short-term investments and fixed-maturities available for sale, which helped to fund certain of our financing activities described below. Net cash provided by investing activities, discontinued operations for 2024 as compared to net cash used in investing activities, discontinued operations in 2023 was primarily driven by principal payments from securitized residential mortgage loans held for investment.

Financing Activities. For 2025, our primary use of cash for financing activities, continuing operations included: (i) repurchases of our common stock and (ii) payment of dividends. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Net cash provided by financing activities, discontinued operations for 2025, was primarily driven by: (i) the net proceeds from the issuance of securitized nonrecourse debt and (ii) the net change in borrowings related to funding from mortgage loan financing facilities.

For 2024, our primary use of cash for financing activities, continuing operations included: (i) net changes in our senior notes; (ii) repurchases of our common stock; and (iii) payment of dividends. Net cash provided by financing activities, discontinued operations for 2024 was primarily driven by: (i) the net proceeds from the issuance of securitized nonrecourse debt and (ii) the net change in borrowings related to funding from mortgage loan financing facilities.

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 December 31, 2025, Radian Group had available, either directly or through unregulated subsidiaries, unrestricted cash and liquid investments of $1.8 billion. Total liquidity, which included our then-undrawn $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, as described below, was $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. This amount does not reflect the closing of the Inigo transaction on February 2, 2026, which reduced both available and total liquidity by $1.65 billion, representing the cash portion of the consideration paid for the acquisition. Additionally, to help manage our overall liquidity position, Radian Group drew $200 million on our unsecured revolving credit facility in February 2026.

During 2025, Radian Group’s available liquidity increased by $949 million, primarily due to: (i) $795 million received from Radian Guaranty, consisting of a $200 million return of capital and $595 million in ordinary dividends and (ii) the $600 million Intercompany Note from Radian Guaranty. These increases were partially offset by $576 million paid for share repurchases and dividends. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these distributions.

In addition to available cash and marketable securities, including net investment income earned on such investments, Radian Group’s principal sources of cash to fund future liquidity needs include: (i) payments made to Radian Group by its subsidiaries under expense- and tax-sharing arrangements; (ii) to the extent available, dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries; and (iii) and, as further described below, our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders.

Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, capital contributions to our insurance and other subsidiaries as well as growth initiatives. At December 31, 2025, the full $500 million remained undrawn and available under the facility, but we drew $200 million on the facility in February 2026 in connection with the Inigo closing. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the unsecured revolving credit facility.

In connection with our Mortgage Conduit business, Radian Mortgage Capital has entered into the Master Repurchase Agreements to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans and related mortgage loan assets, which are included in assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. In the ordinary course of its business, Radian Mortgage Capital expects to renew the Master Repurchase Agreements on or prior to expiration and/or to enter into new agreements to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans and related mortgage loan assets. As of December 31, 2025, Radian Group has entered into four separate Parent Guarantees to guaranty the obligations under the Master Repurchase Agreements, which we expect would terminate upon any sale of the Mortgage Conduit business.

As of December 31, 2025, we expect Radian Group’s principal liquidity demands for the next 12 months to be: (i) investments to support our business strategy and to expand and diversify our revenue streams, including the $1.67 billion acquisition of Inigo and, if needed, capital contributions to our subsidiaries; (ii) the payment of corporate expenses, including taxes; (iii) interest payments on our outstanding debt obligations as well as potential amounts to repay all or a portion of borrowings under our credit facility; and (iv) the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock, which currently are $0.255 per share and which remain subject to approval by our board of directors and our ongoing assessment of our financial condition and potential needs related to the execution and implementation of our business plans and strategies.

During 2025 and 2024, Radian Group made $37 million and $72 million, respectively, of additional equity contributions to support our Title and Real Estate Services businesses. During 2024, Radian Group made $83 million of equity contributions to facilitate the growth of our Mortgage Conduit business. No such contributions were made to our Mortgage Conduit business in 2025. Additionally, during 2025, Radian Group received a return of capital of $35 million and $27 million from our Title business and Mortgage Conduit business, respectively.

In the event the cash flows from operations of our businesses held for sale continue to be insufficient to fund all of their needs, Radian Group may continue to provide additional funds in the form of additional capital contributions or other support.

In addition to our ongoing short-term liquidity needs discussed above, our most significant need for liquidity beyond the next 12 months is the repayment of $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior debt due in future years and of the $600 million that we borrowed from Radian Guaranty to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Inigo acquisition. See “Capitalization—Holding Company” below for details of our debt maturity profile.

Radian Group’s liquidity demands for the next 12 months or in future periods could also include: (i) potential repurchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to share repurchase authorizations, as described below; (ii) early repurchases or redemptions of portions of our debt obligations; and (iii) potential payments pursuant to the Parent Guarantees.

For additional information about related risks and uncertainties, under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” see “The use of the Intercompany Note to fund a portion of the Inigo acquisition reduced our liquidity and Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs Cushion, and subjects us to certain conditions and compliance obligations associated with the Intercompany Note which could adversely affect us and our financial condition;” “Our sources of liquidity may be insufficient to fund our obligations;” and “Radian Guaranty may fail to maintain its eligibility status with the GSEs, and the additional capital required to support Radian Guaranty’s eligibility could reduce our available liquidity.”

In addition to Radian Group’s existing sources of liquidity to fund its obligations, we may decide to seek additional capital, including by incurring additional debt, issuing additional equity or selling assets, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, if at all.

Inigo Acquisition. On February 2, 2026, the Company completed its strategic acquisition of Inigo, which reduced both available and total liquidity by $1.65 billion, representing the cash portion of the consideration paid for the acquisition. Radian funded the acquisition from Radian Group’s available liquidity sources (including proceeds of the Intercompany Note) combined with a $200 million draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Share Repurchases. During 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 13.4 million shares and 7.0 million shares of Radian Group common stock, respectively, under programs authorized by Radian Group’s board of directors, at a total cost of $430 million and $224 million, respectively, including commissions. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on our share repurchase programs.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Throughout 2025 and 2024, our quarterly dividend was $0.255 and 0.245 per share, respectively. Based on our outstanding shares of common stock and our current dividend level, which our board of directors may change at any time, we would require approximately $138 million in the aggregate to pay dividends for the next 12 months, plus an incremental amount for dividend equivalents that will fluctuate based on final shares vested under our performance-based RSU programs. So long as no default or event of default exists under our revolving credit facility or the Parent Guarantees, Radian Group is not subject to any legal or contractual limitations on its ability to pay dividends except those generally applicable to corporations that are incorporated in Delaware. Delaware corporation law provides that dividends are only payable out of a corporation’s capital surplus or (subject to certain limitations) recent net profits. As of December 31, 2025, our capital surplus was $4.6 billion, representing our dividend limitation under Delaware law. The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains subject to the board of directors’ discretion and determination.

Corporate Expenses and Interest Expense. Radian Group has expense-sharing arrangements in place with its U.S. 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 2025 of $165 million and $65 million, respectively, were substantially all reimbursed by its subsidiaries. We expect these expense-sharing arrangements to remain in effect for 2026 and beyond. The expense-sharing arrangements, as amended, between Radian Group and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries have been approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, but such approval may be modified or revoked at any time.

Taxes. Pursuant to our tax-sharing agreements, our operating subsidiaries pay Radian Group an amount equal to any federal income tax the subsidiary would have paid on a standalone basis if they were not part of our consolidated tax return. As a result, from time to time, under the provisions of our tax-sharing agreements, Radian Group may pay to or receive from its operating subsidiaries amounts that differ from Radian Group’s consolidated federal tax payment obligation. During 2025, Radian Group received $22 million of tax-sharing agreement payments from its subsidiaries.

Capitalization—Holding Company

The following table presents our holding company capital structure.

(1)

Calculated as carrying value of senior notes, which were issued and are owed by our holding company, divided by carrying value of senior notes and stockholders’ equity. This holding company ratio does not include the effects of amounts owed by our subsidiaries related to other borrowings.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $158 million from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2025. The net increase in stockholders’ equity for 2025 resulted primarily from: (i) our net income of $583 million and (ii) net unrealized gains on investment securities of $128 million as a result of decreases in market interest rates during the period. These factors were partially offset by: (i) share repurchases of $430 million, excluding related excise taxes due and (ii) dividend and dividend equivalents of $146 million.

The increase in book value per share from $31.33 at December 31, 2024, to $35.29 at December 31, 2025, was primarily due to: (i) an increase of $3.95 per share attributable to our net income for 2025 and (ii) an increase of $0.87 per share due to net unrealized gains in our available for sale securities, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income during the year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.99 per share attributable to dividends and dividend equivalents.

We regularly evaluate opportunities, based on market conditions, to finance our operations by accessing the capital markets or entering into other types of financing arrangements with institutional and other lenders. We also regularly consider various measures to improve our capital and liquidity positions, as well as to strengthen our balance sheet, improve Radian Group’s debt maturity profile and maintain adequate liquidity for our operations. Among other things, these measures may include borrowing agreements or arrangements, such as securities or other master repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities. In the past, we have repurchased or exchanged, prior to maturity, some of our outstanding debt, and in the future, we may from time to time seek to redeem, repurchase or exchange for other securities, or otherwise restructure or refinance some or all of our outstanding debt prior to maturity in the open market through other public or private transactions, including pursuant to one or more tender offers or through any combination of the foregoing, as circumstances may allow. The timing or amount of any potential transactions will depend on a number of factors, including market opportunities and our views regarding our capital and liquidity positions and potential future needs. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.

Historically, one of the primary demands for liquidity in our Mortgage Insurance business is the payment of claims, net of reinsurance, including from commutations and settlements. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our mortgage insurance reserve for losses and LAE, which represents our best estimate for the costs of settling future claims on currently defaulted mortgage loans.

Other principal demands for liquidity in our Mortgage Insurance business are expected to include: (i) expenses (including those allocated from Radian Group); (ii) repayments of FHLB advances; (iii) distributions from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, including returns of capital and recurring ordinary dividends; and (iv) taxes, including potential payments to Radian Group pursuant to our tax sharing agreement.

The principal sources of liquidity in our Mortgage Insurance business currently include insurance premiums, net investment income and cash flows from: (i) investment sales and maturities and (ii) FHLB advances. We believe that the operating cash flows generated by Radian Guaranty, as well as our other immaterial mortgage insurance subsidiaries, will provide them with the funds necessary to satisfy their respective needs for the foreseeable future. Future sources of liquidity also are expected to include interest payments from Radian Group on the $600 million Intercompany Note and may also include, if necessary, capital contributions from Radian Group.

As of December 31, 2025, Radian Guaranty maintained claims paying resources of $6.1 billion on a statutory basis, which consist of contingency reserves, statutory policyholders’ surplus, premiums received but not yet earned and loss reserves. In addition, our reinsurance programs are designed to provide additional claims-paying resources during times of economic stress and elevated losses. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital as of December 31, 2025, was 10.3 to 1. Radian Guaranty is not expected to need additional capital to satisfy state insurance regulatory requirements in their current form. At December 31, 2025, Radian Guaranty had statutory policyholders’ surplus of $646 million. This balance includes a $1.1 billion benefit from U.S. Mortgage Guaranty Tax and Loss Bonds issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which mortgage guaranty insurers such as Radian Guaranty may purchase in order to be eligible for a tax deduction, subject to certain limitations, related to amounts required to be set aside in statutory contingency reserves. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and

“Radian Guaranty may fail to maintain its eligibility status with the GSEs, and the additional capital required to support Radian Guaranty’s eligibility could reduce our available liquidity” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for more information.

Radian Guaranty currently is an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs. Private mortgage insurers, including Radian Guaranty, are required to comply with the PMIERs to remain approved insurers of loans purchased by the GSEs. At December 31, 2025, Radian Guaranty’s Available Assets under the PMIERs financial requirements totaled $5.4 billion, resulting in a PMIERs Cushion of $1.6 billion, or 41%, over its Minimum Required Assets. Those amounts compare to Available Assets and a PMIERs Cushion of $6.0 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2024. See “The use of the Intercompany Note to fund a portion of the Inigo acquisition reduced our liquidity and Radian Guaranty’s PMIERs Cushion, and subjects us to certain conditions and compliance obligations associated with the Intercompany Note which could adversely affect us and our financial condition” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Despite holding assets above the minimum statutory capital thresholds and PMIERs financial requirements, the ability of Radian’s mortgage insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends on their common stock is restricted by certain provisions of the insurance laws of Pennsylvania, their state of domicile. Under Pennsylvania’s insurance laws, ordinary dividends and other distributions may only be paid out of an insurer’s positive unassigned surplus unless the Pennsylvania Insurance Department approves the payment of dividends or other distributions from another source.

Radian Guaranty received approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to make a return of capital distribution to Radian Group of $200 million during the first three months of 2025 from its paid in surplus. Additionally, Radian Guaranty paid $595 million in ordinary dividends to Radian Group in 2025, and we expect Radian Guaranty to maintain the ability to pay dividends in 2026 and for the foreseeable future.

As noted above, Radian Group paid a portion of the cash consideration for the Inigo acquisition with proceeds from the Intercompany Note that was approved by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. Radian Guaranty is required to comply with certain conditions while the Intercompany Note is outstanding, including, most notably, obtaining prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for all dividends paid by Radian Guaranty for a period of three years (which we may request to be reduced or the Pennsylvania Insurance Department may, in certain circumstances, extend for up to five years) and maintaining a minimum policyholders’ surplus of $500 million, among other conditions.

Radian Guaranty is a member of the FHLB. As a member, it may borrow from the FHLB subject to certain conditions, which include requirements to post collateral and to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB stock. Advances from the FHLB may be used to provide low-cost, supplemental liquidity for various purposes, including to fund incremental investments. Radian’s current strategy includes using FHLB advances as financing for general cash management and liquidity purposes. As of December 31, 2025, there were $41 million of FHLB advances outstanding. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Specialty Insurance

The principal demands for liquidity in our Specialty Insurance business are the obligations arising from its insurance contracts and financial liabilities. Due to the potential timing difference between payment of gross claims and receipt of reinsurance collection, gross claims are considered a principal demand within liquidity planning. The occurrence of large claims may force us to liquidate securities at a time that may cause us to realize capital losses.

The principal sources of liquidity in our Specialty Insurance business currently include insurance and reinsurance premiums, net investment income and cash flows from investment sales and maturities.

As of December 31, 2025, Inigo participates in the Lloyd’s market and is subject to capital requirements. For more information, see “The amount of capital that we must hold to maintain our various capital requirements can vary significantly from time to time and the capital needed to maintain those requirements may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
