Overview
For nearly 50 years, we have been a leading private mortgage insurer, expanding access to affordable, responsible and sustainable homeownership. On February 2, 2026, we acquired Inigo, a Lloyd’s specialty insurer. The acquisition of Inigo expanded our business profile and established Radian as a global multi-line specialty insurer, combining the embedded value and capital generation capabilities of our mortgage insurance business with the growth potential of a disciplined specialty insurance and reinsurance business.
As part of our strategy to become a more focused insurance business we also announced a plan to divest our non-core businesses. We have now executed definitive actions to complete these divestitures, including completing the sale of our Real Estate Services business and entering into an agreement to sell our Title business. We expect the sale of our Title business to be completed by the end of this year.
Following the acquisition of Inigo, we now operate through two reportable segments, Mortgage and Specialty. We believe our businesses are differentiated by our proprietary risk analysis and risk management capabilities, which are informed by data and analytics, as well as our disciplined approach to underwriting and capital management. On a consolidated basis, during the second quarter of 2026, net income from continuing operations was $116 million, producing a 9.8% return on equity, while pretax income from continuing operations was $151 million. Adjusted pretax operating income was $196 million, resulting in a 12.9% adjusted net operating return on equity. The Specialty segment expanded our revenue base and further diversified our earnings streams, while our Mortgage segment continued to generate strong cash flow and capital. We believe the combination of our Mortgage and Specialty businesses has increased our strategic flexibility and is positioning Radian to deliver results over the long-term.
Outlook
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, our priorities include continuing to deliver strong, consistent performance in our Mortgage segment, executing on the strategic development and selective growth of our Specialty segment and maintaining a disciplined approach to capital management. We believe our ability to consistently generate excess capital through cycles and redeploy it with discipline is a core competitive advantage. Our capital management philosophy prioritizes maintaining financial strength, investing in growth and responsibly returning excess capital to stockholders. Despite risks and uncertainties related to the current economic and market conditions, including premium rate softening in our Specialty segment, we continue to have a favorable outlook for our businesses based on the fundamentals in both our Mortgage and Specialty segments.
Legislative and Regulatory Developments
We are subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. For a description of significant U.S. state and federal regulations and other requirements of the GSEs that are applicable to our mortgage insurance business, as well as legislative and regulatory developments affecting the housing finance industry, see “Item 1. Business—Regulation—State Regulation” and “Item 1. Business—Regulation—Federal Regulation” in our 2025 Form 10-K. For a description of the U.K. regulatory requirements and framework and other requirements and regulations of Lloyd’s that are applicable to our specialty insurance business, see “Item 1. Business—Regulation—Regulation of Inigo” in our 2025 Form 10-K. There were no significant regulatory developments impacting our businesses from those discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K, other than the following.
Credit Score Models. In recent years, the FHFA and the GSEs have undertaken initiatives to modernize the credit scoring framework used in mortgage underwriting, including efforts to replace their use of Classic FICO credit scores with FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0 credit scores. In April 2026, FHFA announced that the GSEs will accept loans with the VantageScore 4.0 model for certain approved lenders and will begin moving forward with FICO 10T. On July 29, 2026, the GSEs issued PMIERs guidance which sets forth the risk-based required asset factors for insured loans that utilize VantageScore 4.0 credit scores. This guidance is effective on September 30, 2026. We are working closely with lenders and other industry stakeholders on the adoption of VantageScore 4.0. We do not expect these updates to have a material impact on our business.
Basel III. Over the past several decades, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has established international benchmarks for assessing banks’ capital adequacy requirements (“Basel III”). While Basel III does not directly impact our mortgage insurance capital requirements, included within those benchmarks are capital standards related to residential lending and securitization activity and, importantly for private mortgage insurers, the capital treatment that banks will receive for mortgage insurance on those loans. In July 2023, the U.S. federal banking agencies published a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement the final components of Basel III that was heavily criticized and debated. In March 2026, the U.S. federal bank regulators released new proposals to update the regulatory capital framework for banks that include more granular risk weights for the capital treatment of residential real estate and maintain the existing treatment of mortgage insurance as a prudent underwriting standard. The proposals also include several questions on the treatment of mortgage insurance as part of the proposed risk weight calculations. The Company will continue to monitor developments with respect to this rulemaking and its potential impact on our mortgage insurance business.
