These results reflect the momentum of our businesses, the strength of our products and customer relationships, and the dedication of our team.”

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

NIW was $26.6 billion in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $21.7 billion in the second quarter of 2021, and $33.3 billion in the third quarter of 2020.
- Of the $26.6 billion in NIW in the third quarter of 2021, 93.8 percent was written with monthly and other recurring premiums, compared to 93.1 percent in the second quarter of 2021, and 90.0 percent in the third quarter of 2020.
- Refinances accounted for 10.2 percent of total NIW in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 22.9 percent in the second quarter of 2021, and 29.5 percent in the third quarter of 2020.

Total primary mortgage insurance in force as of September 30, 2021, increased to $241.6 billion, an increase of 1.8 percent compared to $237.3 billion as of June 30, 2021, and a decrease of 1.6 percent compared to $245.5 billion as of September 30, 2020. The year-over-year decrease included a 25.1 percent decline in single premium policy insurance in force, partially offset by a 5.8 percent increase in monthly premium policy insurance in force.
- Persistency, which is the percentage of mortgage insurance that remains in force after a twelve-month period, was 60.8 percent for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 57.7 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, and 65.6 percent for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020.
- Annualized persistency for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was 67.5 percent, compared to 66.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 60.0 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Net mortgage insurance premiums earned were $236.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $247.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and $283.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
- Mortgage insurance in force portfolio premium yield was 40.3 basis points in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 41.1 basis points in the second quarter of 2021, and 43.2 basis points in the third quarter of 2020.
- The impact of single premium policy cancellations before consideration of reinsurance represented 4.3 basis points of direct premium yield in the third quarter of 2021, 5.3 basis points in the second quarter of 2021, and 10.7 basis points in the third quarter of 2020.
- Total net mortgage insurance premium yield, which includes the impact of ceded premiums and accrued profit commission, was 39.6 basis points in the third quarter of 2021, 41.5 basis points in the second quarter of 2021, and 46.6 basis points in the third quarter of 2020.
- Additional details regarding premiums earned may be found in Exhibit D.

The mortgage insurance provision for losses was $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, and $87.8 million in the third quarter of 2020.
- The increase in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily related to less favorable development on prior period reserves, as compared to the second quarter of 2021. Both periods were impacted by more favorable trends in cures than originally estimated. The decrease in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was driven primarily by a significant decrease in primary new default notices related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The number of primary delinquent loans was 33,795 as of September 30, 2021, compared to 40,464 as of June 30, 2021, and 62,737 as of September 30, 2020.
- The loss ratio in the third quarter of 2021 was 7.1 percent, compared to 1.3 percent in the second quarter of 2021, and 31.0 percent in the third quarter of 2020.
- Total mortgage insurance claims paid were $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, and $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of commutations and settlements, claims paid were $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, and $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Radian's homegenius segment offers a broad array of title, valuation, asset management, software-as-a-service and other real estate services to mortgage lenders, mortgage and real estate investors, GSEs, real estate brokers and agents.
- Total homegenius segment revenues for the third quarter of 2021 were $45.1 million, compared to $33.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, and $29.8 million for the third quarter of 2020.
- The increase in revenues for the homegenius segment in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by increases in net title premiums earned and services revenue attributable to our title and asset management businesses.
  
  homegenius Profitability Metrics
- Adjusted pretax operating loss, our primary segment measure of profitability for the homegenius segment, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $5.6 million, compared to $9.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and $5.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
- Adjusted pretax operating loss before allocated corporate operating expenses for the homegenius segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $0.6 million, compared to $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Other operating expenses were $86.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $86.5 million in the second quarter of 2021, and $69.4 million in the third quarter of 2020.
- The increase in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was driven primarily by an increase in incentive compensation expense and a decrease in ceding commissions.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY UPDATE

Radian Group

As of September 30, 2021, Radian Group maintained $768.4 million of available liquidity. Total liquidity, which includes the company’s $267.5 million unsecured revolving credit facility, was $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2021.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the company repurchased 7.1 million shares of Radian Group common stock at a total cost of $158.3 million, including commissions. As of September 30, 2021, purchase authority of up to $142.0 million remained available under this program. The current share repurchase authorization expires on August 31, 2022.
In addition, in October the Company purchased an additional 2.0 million shares, or approximately $46.5 million of Radian Group common stock, including commissions. After the repurchases in October, purchase authority of up to approximately $95.5 million remained available under the existing program.
On August 11, 2021, Radian Group’s Board of Directors authorized a regular quarterly dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.14 per share and the dividend was paid on September 2, 2021.

Radian Guaranty

At September 30, 2021, Radian Guaranty’s Available Assets under PMIERs totaled approximately $5.3 billion, resulting in excess available resources or a “cushion” of $1.7 billion, or 49 percent, over its Minimum Required Assets.
As of September 30, 2021, 63 percent of Radian Guaranty's primary mortgage insurance risk in force is subject to some form of risk distribution, providing a $1.0 billion reduction of Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs.

RECENT EVENTS

Insurance-Linked Note

As previously announced, Radian Guaranty expects to obtain up to $484.1 million of credit-risk protection from Eagle Re 2021-2 Ltd. (Eagle Re), covering an existing portfolio of mortgage insurance policies written predominantly from January 1,2021 through and including July 31, 2021. Eagle Re will finance the coverage through the issuance of ILNs to capital markets investors of $484.1 million aggregate principal amount of 12.5-year mortgage insurance-linked notes, in an unregistered private offering that priced on October 29, 2021. The offering is expected to close on or about November 9, 2021. Eagle Re is a special purpose insurer domiciled in Bermuda and is not a subsidiary or affiliate of Radian Guaranty. Radian Guaranty's related PMIERs credit under this ILN transaction will be subject to GSE approval. As of September 30, 2021, assuming the November ILN transaction described above closes on or about November 9, 2021, as expected:

Radian Guaranty's Minimum Required Assets would have decreased by approximately $480 million, which would have resulted in an increase in PMIERs excess Available Assets or "cushion" to $2.2 billion, or 73 percent over the Minimum Required Assets.
Radian Guaranty's primary mortgage insurance risk in force that is subject to some form of risk distribution would have increased to 80 percent, providing a $1.5 billion reduction of Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Radian believes that adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating income per share and adjusted net operating return on equity (non-GAAP measures) facilitate evaluation of the company’s fundamental financial performance and provide relevant and meaningful information to investors about the ongoing operating results of the company. On a consolidated basis, these measures are not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP measures of performance. The measures described below have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the company’s operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with Radian’s competitors.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP consolidated pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets; and (iv) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, such as impairment of internal-use software, gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business and acquisition-related income and expenses. Adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing (i) adjusted pretax operating income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, net of taxes computed using the Company’s statutory tax rate, by (ii) the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Adjusted net operating return on equity is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted pretax operating income (loss), net of taxes computed using the Company's statutory tax rate, by average stockholders' equity, based on the average of the beginning and ending balances for each period presented.

In addition to the above non-GAAP measures for the consolidated company, we also have presented as supplemental information non-GAAP measures for our homegenius segment of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses and adjusted gross profit. Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses is calculated as adjusted pretax operating income (loss) as described above (which is the segment's ASC 280 GAAP measure of operating performance), adjusted to remove the impact of corporate allocations of other operating expenses for the homegenius segment. Adjusted gross profit is further adjusted to remove other operating expenses. In addition, homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses and homegenius adjusted gross profit margin are calculated by dividing homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses and homegenius adjusted gross profit, respectively, by GAAP total revenue for the homegenius segment. For the homegenius segment, adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses, adjusted gross profit, and the related homegenius profit margins are used to facilitate comparisons with other services companies, since they are widely accepted measures of performance in the services industry and are used internally as supplemental measures to evaluate the performance of our homegenius segment.

See Exhibit F or Radian’s website for a description of these items, as well as Exhibit G for reconciliations to the most comparable consolidated GAAP measures.

Notes continued from prior page.

(5)		The wind-down of our traditional appraisal business announced in the fourth quarter of 2020 caused the composition of our reportable segments to change, including all activity related to that business and certain other adjustments to services revenue now being reflected in All Other activities. In addition, there were certain other immaterial reclassifications to net investment income and interest expense. These changes to our reportable segments have been reflected in our segment operating results for all periods presented.
(6)		The fourth quarter of 2020 includes an increase to premiums earned of $11.3 million, related to changes in present value estimates for initial premiums on monthly policies that are deferred and not collected until cancellation. The impact of changes in this estimate in other periods is not material.
(7)		In the fourth quarter of 2020, we reclassified certain revenue previously reflected in the homegenius segment results as services revenue to net premiums earned. As a result, for the third quarter of 2020, on the homegenius segment, net premiums earned has been increased and services revenue has been decreased, with offsetting adjustments reflected in All Other activities.
(8)		All Other activities include: (i) income (losses) from assets held by our holding company; (ii) related general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segments; (iii) for all periods presented, the income and expenses related to our traditional appraisal services; and (iv) certain other immaterial revenue and expense items.

Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries
Definition of Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Exhibit F (page 1 of 2)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the traditional GAAP financial measures, we have presented “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity,” which are non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, among our key performance indicators to evaluate our fundamental financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures align with the way the Company’s business performance is evaluated by both management and the board of directors. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purposes of evaluating our operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with our peers. Although on a consolidated basis “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity” are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe these measures aid in understanding the underlying performance of our operations. 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 the Company’s business segments and to allocate resources to the segments.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP consolidated pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets; and (iv) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, such as impairment of internal-use software, gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business and acquisition-related income and expenses. Adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing (i) adjusted pretax operating income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, net of taxes computed using the Company’s statutory tax rate, by (ii) the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Adjusted net operating return on equity is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted pretax operating income (loss), net of taxes computed using the Company’s statutory tax rate, by average stockholders’ equity, based on the average of the beginning and ending balances for each period presented.

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). These adjustments, along with the reasons for their treatment, are described below.

(1)		*Net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments.* The recognition of realized investment gains or losses can vary significantly across periods as the activity is highly discretionary based on the timing of individual securities sales due to such factors as market opportunities, our tax and capital profile and overall market cycles. Unrealized gains and losses arise primarily from changes in the market value of our investments that are classified as trading or equity securities. These valuation adjustments may not necessarily result in realized economic gains or losses.

		Trends in the profitability of our fundamental operating activities can be more clearly identified without the fluctuations of these realized and unrealized gains or losses and changes in fair value of other financial instruments. We do not view them to be indicative of our fundamental operating activities.

(2)		*Loss on extinguishment of debt.* Gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt and losses incurred to purchase our debt prior to maturity are discretionary activities that are undertaken in order to take advantage of market opportunities to strengthen our financial and capital positions; therefore, we do not view these activities as part of our operating performance. Such transactions do not reflect expected future operations and do not provide meaningful insight regarding our current or past operating trends.

(3)		*Amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets.* Amortization of acquired intangible assets represents the periodic expense required to amortize the cost of acquired intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets are also periodically reviewed for potential impairment, and impairment adjustments are made whenever appropriate. We do not view these charges as part of the operating performance of our primary activities.

(4)		*Impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items.* Includes activities that we do not view to be indicative of our fundamental operating activities, such as: (i) impairment of internal-use software and other long-lived assets; (ii) gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business: and (iii) acquistion-related income and expenses.


Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries
Definition of Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Exhibit F (page 2 of 2)

In addition to the above non-GAAP measures for the consolidated company, we also have presented as supplemental information non-GAAP measures for our homegenius segment of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses and adjusted gross profit. Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses is calculated as adjusted pretax operating income (loss) as described above (which is the segment's ASC 280 GAAP measure of operating performance), adjusted to remove the impact of corporate allocations of other operating expenses for the homegenius segment. Adjusted gross profit is further adjusted to remove other operating expenses. In addition, homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses and adjusted gross profit margin are calculated by dividing homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses and adjusted gross profit, respectively, by GAAP total revenue for the homegenius segment. For the homegenius segment, adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses, adjusted gross profit, and the related profit margins are used to facilitate comparisons with other services companies, since they are widely accepted measures of performance in the services industry and are used internally as supplemental measures to evaluate the performance of our homegenius segment.

See Exhibit G for the reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measures, consolidated pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share and return on equity to our non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity, respectively. Exhibit G also contains the reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) to adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses and adjusted gross profit for the homegenius segment.

Total adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share, adjusted net operating return on equity, homegenius adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses and homegenius adjusted gross profit should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, return on equity or net income (loss), or in the case of the homegenius non-GAAP measures, for homegenius adjusted pretax operating income (loss). Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share, adjusted net operating return on equity and homegenius adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses, homegenius adjusted gross profit, homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses or homegenius adjusted gross profit margin may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.

On a consolidated basis, “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity” are measures not determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, “homegenius adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses", "homegenius adjusted gross profit," “homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses” and “homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin" are also non-GAAP measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, return on equity or net income (loss), or in the case of the homegenius non-GAAP measures, for homegenius adjusted pretax operating income (loss). Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share, adjusted net operating return on equity, homegenius adjusted pretax operating income (loss) before allocated corporate operating expenses, homegenius adjusted gross profit, homegenius adjusted pretax operating margin before allocated corporate operating expenses or homegenius adjusted gross profit margin may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. See Exhibit F for additional information on our consolidated non-GAAP financial measures.

These statements, which may include, without limitation, projections regarding our future performance and financial condition, are made on the basis of management’s current views and assumptions with respect to future events, including management’s current views regarding the likely impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We operate in a changing environment where new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks that may affect us, particularly those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had wide-ranging and continually evolving effects. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and the forward-looking statements, as well as our prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic disruption, high unemployment, periods of volatility and disruption in financial markets, and required adjustments in the housing finance system and real estate markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our businesses, and the COVID-19 pandemic could further impact our business and subject us to certain risks, including those discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors—The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted us, and its ultimate impact on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.” and the other risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in our subsequent reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;
changes in economic conditions that impact the size of the insurable market, the credit performance of our insured portfolio, and our business prospects;
changes in the way customers, investors, ratings agencies, regulators or legislators perceive our performance, financial strength and future prospects;
Radian Guaranty Inc.’s (“Radian Guaranty”) ability to remain eligible under the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (the “PMIERs”) and other applicable requirements imposed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the "FHFA") and by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (collectively, the “GSEs”) to insure loans purchased by the GSEs;

the effects of the Enterprise Regulatory Capital Framework which, among other things, increases the capital requirements for the GSEs and reduces the credit they receive for risk transfer, which could impact their operations and pricing as well as the size of the insurable mortgage insurance market, and which may form the basis for future versions of the PMIERs;
changes in the current housing finance system in the United States, including the roles of the Federal Housing Administration (the "FHA"), the GSEs and private mortgage insurers in this system;

uncertainty from the upcoming discontinuance of LIBOR and transition to one or more alternative benchmarks that could cause interest rate volatility and, among other things, impact our investment portfolio, cost of debt and cost of reinsurance through mortgage insurance-linked notes transactions;

a decrease in the “Persistency Rates” (the percentage of insurance in force that remains in force over a period of time) of our mortgage insurance on monthly premium products;
competition in the private mortgage insurance industry generally, and more specifically: price competition in our mortgage insurance business, including as a result of the increased use of loan level pricing delivery methodologies that are less transparent than historical pricing practices; and competition from the FHA and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as well as from other forms of credit enhancement, such as GSE-sponsored alternatives to traditional mortgage insurance;
the effect of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on the financial services industry in general, and on our businesses in particular;

the amount and timing of potential payments or adjustments associated with federal or other tax examinations;
the possibility that we may fail to estimate accurately, especially in the event of an extended economic downturn or a period of extreme market volatility and economic uncertainty, the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in establishing loss reserves for our mortgage insurance business or to accurately calculate and/or project our Available Assets and Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs, which will be impacted by, among other things, the size and mix of our insurance in force, the level of defaults in our portfolio, the reported status of defaults in our portfolio, including whether they are subject to forbearance, a repayment plan or a loan modification trial period granted in response to a financial hardship related to COVID-19, the level of cash flow generated by our insurance operations and our risk distribution strategies;

our ability and related costs to develop, launch and implement new and innovative technologies and digital products and services, and whether we will have broad customer acceptance of these products and services;
effectiveness and security of our information technology systems and digital products and services, including the risk that these systems, products or services fail to operate as expected or planned or expose us to cybersecurity or third party risks, including due to computer viruses, unauthorized access, cyber-attack, natural disasters or other similar events;
our ability to attract and retain key employees; and
legal and other limitations on amounts we may receive from our subsidiaries, including dividends or ordinary course distributions under our internal tax- and expense-sharing arrangements.
