Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) today reported net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, of $153.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, of $12.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Results for both periods included modest levels of combined net gains from the change in fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments and minimal net losses on investments. Book value per share at September 30, 2014, was $9.08.
Adjusted pretax operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was $147.2 million, consisting of $132.6 million of income from the Mortgage Insurance segment, $9.3 million of income from the Financial Guaranty segment and $5.3 million of income from the Mortgage and Real Estate Services segment. This compares to an adjusted pretax operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, of $12.4 million, consisting of a loss of $3.2 million from the Mortgage Insurance segment and a loss of $9.2 million from the Financial Guaranty segment. The Mortgage and Real Estate Services segment comprises the results of operations for Clayton Holdings, which was acquired by Radian on June 30, 2014.
“Radian delivered excellent results in the third quarter, increasing profits with net income of $154 million,” said Chief Executive Officer S.A. Ibrahim. “Our results were driven by the strong credit performance of our businesses combined with the positive top-line impact of our growing mortgage insurance book. Our results also included solid performance from Clayton, which begins to illustrate the benefit of our diversification strategy.”
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY UPDATE
Radian Guaranty’s risk-to-capital ratio was 18.4:1 as of September 30, 2014. Radian Group maintains approximately $760 million of currently available liquidity.
- As of September 30, 2014, Radian Guaranty’s statutory capital was $1.6 billion, compared to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2014, and $1.3 billion a year ago.
- In 2012, Radian Guaranty entered into two quota share reinsurance agreements with the same third-party reinsurance provider, in order to proactively manage its risk-to-capital position. On April 1, 2013, Radian reduced the amount of new business ceded under these reinsurance agreements on a prospective basis from 20 percent to 5 percent. As of September 30, 2014, a total of $2.7 billion of risk in force had been ceded under those agreements. Radian has the option to recapture approximately $750 million of the ceded risk outstanding on December 31, 2014, and an additional portion of the remaining ceded risk outstanding on December 31, 2015.
THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
-
New mortgage insurance written (NIW) was $11.2 billion during the
quarter, compared to $9.3 billion in the second quarter of 2014, and
$13.7 billion in the prior-year quarter.
- Of the $11.2 billion in new business written in the third quarter of 2014, 72 percent was written with monthly premiums and 28 percent with single premiums. This compares to a mix of 71 percent monthly premiums and 29 percent single premiums in the third quarter of 2013.
- NIW continued to consist of loans with excellent risk characteristics.
- Total primary mortgage insurance in force was $169.2 billion as of September 30, 2014, compared to $165.0 billion as of June 30, 2014, and $158.6 billion as of September 30, 2013. Persistency, which is the percentage of mortgage insurance in force that remains on the company’s books after a 12-month period, was 83.5 percent as of September 30, 2014, compared to 83.1 percent as of June 30, 2014, and 80.5 percent as of September 30, 2013.
- As previously disclosed and consistent with the company’s strategy for actively managing and reducing legacy mortgage insurance exposure, on September 16, 2014, Radian Guaranty entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement with Countrywide Home Loans and Bank of America in order to resolve various actual and potential claims and disputes related to mortgage insurance coverage on legacy loans. Implementation of the Settlement Agreement remains subject to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approval.
-
The mortgage insurance provision for losses was $48.9 million in the
third quarter of 2014, compared to $64.6 million in the second quarter
of 2014, and $149.7 million in the prior-year period.
- The loss ratio in the third quarter was 22.5 percent, compared to 31.7 percent in the second quarter of 2014, and 74.8 percent in the third quarter of 2013.
- Mortgage insurance loss reserves were $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2014, compared to $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2014, and $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2013.
- Primary reserve (excluding IBNR and other reserves) per default was $27,477 as of September 30, 2014. This compares to primary reserve per default of $26,024 as of June 30, 2014, and $27,202 as of September 30, 2013. The increase in reserve per default was primarily related to the impact of the Settlement Agreement discussed above, which resulted in an increase to case reserves, and a corresponding decrease to the company's related IBNR reserve.
- The total number of primary delinquent loans decreased by 4 percent in the third quarter from the second quarter of 2014, and by 28 percent from the third quarter of 2013. The primary mortgage insurance delinquency rate decreased to 5.4 percent in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 5.8 percent in the second quarter of 2014, and 7.8 percent in the third quarter of 2013.
- Total mortgage insurance claims paid were $173.9 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $240.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, and $519.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 (consisting of $254.6 million related to the August 2013 Freddie Mac Agreement and $264.7 million of other claims paid). Claims paid in the third quarter of 2014 exclude approximately $22 million of claims processed in the quarter in accordance with the terms of the Freddie Mac Agreement, for which no cash payment was necessary. The company continues to expect mortgage insurance net claims paid in the $900 million to $1.0 billion range for the full-year 2014. Claims paid for the full-year 2015 are expected to decrease materially from 2014 levels.
- Other operating expenses were $56.3 million in the third quarter, including $8.7 million of Clayton operating expenses and $2.1 million of long-term compensation expenses. This compares to $65.6 million in the second quarter, which included $6.7 million of Clayton-related acquisition expenses and $13.6 million of long-term compensation expneses, and $71.0 in the third quarter of 2013, which included $28.1 million of long-term compensation expenses.
-
On June 30, 2014, Radian completed the acquisition of Clayton Holdings
LLC, which was an important step in its growth and diversification
strategy. The Mortgage and Real Estate Services segment comprises the
results of operations for Clayton.
- Total service revenues were $42.2 million and gross profit on services was $18.3 million.
- Total expenses for the segment, excluding direct cost of services, were $13.1 million, including $4.4 million of allocated interest expense relating to the company’s $300 million debt issuance of senior notes in June 2014 to finance the acquisition.
- Press release Exhibit N includes supplemental financial information by line of business for Clayton as well as summary financial information representing unaudited quarterly historical details for Clayton for periods prior to Radian’s acquisition of the company.
-
Radian Asset Assurance Inc. serves as a source of capital for Radian
Guaranty and is expected to continue to provide Radian Guaranty with
dividends over time.

- Since June 30, 2008, Radian Asset has successfully reduced its total net par exposure by 83 percent to $19.4 billion as of September 30, 2014, including large declines in many of the riskier segments of the portfolio.
- On September 8, 2014, Radian provided commentary to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) on several areas of the proposed Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs). The PMIERs, which were issued by the FHFA in July, were developed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) and are intended to provide revised requirements that the GSEs will impose on private mortgage insurers, including Radian Guaranty, to remain eligible insurers of loans purchased by the GSEs. Radian expects to have the ability to fully comply within the applicable transition period, without a need to raise external capital. Additional information on the proposed PMIERs including Radian’s response may be found on Radian’s website at www.radian.biz/pmiers. Responses received by the FHFA during the public comment period may be found on the FHFA’s website.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
Radian believes that adjusted pretax operating income (a non-GAAP measure) facilitates evaluation of the company’s fundamental financial performance and provides relevant and meaningful information to investors about the ongoing operating results of the company. On a consolidated basis, this measure is not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to a GAAP measure of performance. The measure described below has been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the company’s core operating trends and enable more meaningful comparisons with Radian’s competitors.
Adjusted pretax operating income is defined as earnings excluding the impact of certain items that are not viewed as part of the operating performance of the company’s primary activities, or not expected to result in an economic impact equal to the GAAP measure. See Exhibit E or Radian’s website for a description of these items, as well as a reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) to pretax income (loss).

On a consolidated basis, “adjusted pretax operating income (loss)” is a measure not determined in accordance with GAAP. Total adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is not a measure of total profitability, and therefore should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP pretax income (loss). Our definition of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. See Exhibit E for additional information on our consolidated non-GAAP financial measure.

Reconciliation of
Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Exhibit E (page 1 of
2)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure. In addition to the traditional GAAP financial measures, we have presented a non-GAAP financial measure for the consolidated company, “adjusted pretax operating income (loss),” among our key performance indicators to evaluate our fundamental financial performance. This non-GAAP financial measure aligns with the way the Company’s business performance is evaluated by both management and the board of directors. This measure has been established in order to increase transparency for the purposes of evaluating our core operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with our peers. Although on a consolidated basis “adjusted pretax operating income (loss)” is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe this measure aids in understanding the underlying performance of our operations. Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the Company’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. Management’s use of this measure as its primary measure to evaluate segment performance began with the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Accordingly, for comparison purposes, we also present the applicable measures from the corresponding periods of 2013 on a basis consistent with the current year presentation.
Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) adjusts GAAP pretax income (loss) to remove the effects of net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of intangible assets and net impairment losses recognized in earnings. It also excludes gains and losses related to changes in fair value estimates on insured credit derivatives and instead includes the impact of changes in the present value of insurance claims and recoveries on insured credit derivatives, based on our ongoing insurance loss monitoring, as well as premiums earned on insured credit derivatives.
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: (1) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities; or (2) not expected to result in an economic impact equal to the GAAP measure. These adjustments, along with the reasons for their treatment, are described below.
| (1) | Change in fair value of derivative instruments. Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of insured credit derivatives are subject to significant fluctuation based on changes in interest rates, credit spreads (of both the underlying collateral as well as our credit spread), credit ratings and other market, asset-class and transaction-specific conditions and factors that may be unrelated or only indirectly related to our obligation to pay future claims. With the exception of the estimated present value of net credit (losses) recoveries incurred and net premiums earned on derivatives, discussed in items 2 and 3 below, we believe these gains and losses will reverse over time and consequently these changes are not expected to result in economic gains or losses. Therefore, these gains and losses are excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). | ||
| (2) | Estimated present value of net credit (losses) recoveries incurred. The change in present value of insurance claims we expect to pay or recover on insured credit derivatives represents the amount of the change in credit derivatives from item 1, above, that we expect to result in an economic loss or recovery based on our ongoing loss monitoring analytics. Therefore, this item is expected to have an economic impact and is included in our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). Also included in this item is the expected recovery of miscellaneous operating expenses associated with our consolidated VIEs. | ||
| (3) | Net premiums earned on derivatives. The net premiums earned on insured credit derivatives are classified as part of the change in fair value of derivative instruments discussed in item 1 above. However, since net premiums earned on derivatives are considered part of our fundamental operating activities, these premiums are included in our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). | ||
| (4) | 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 investment gains and losses arise primarily from changes in the market value of our investments that are classified as trading. These valuation adjustments may not necessarily result in economic gains or losses. We do not view them to be indicative of our fundamental operating activities. 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. Therefore, these items are excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). | ||
| (5) | Acquisition-related expenses. Acquisition-related expenses represent the costs incurred to effect an acquisition of a business (i.e., a business combination). Because we pursue acquisitions on a limited and selective basis and not in the ordinary course of our business, we do not view acquisition-related expenses as a consequence of a primary business activity. Therefore, we do not consider these expenses to be part of our operating performance and they are excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). | ||
| (6) | Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets represents the periodic expense required to amortize the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. These charges are not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities and therefore are excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). | ||
| (7) | Net impairment losses recognized in earnings. The recognition of net impairment losses on investments can vary significantly in both size and timing, depending on market credit cycles. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are also periodically reviewed for potential impairment and impairment adjustments are made whenever appropriate. We do not view impairment losses on investments or intangibles to be indicative of our fundamental operating activities. Therefore, these losses are excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss). | ||
Total adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is not a measure of total profitability, and therefore should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP pretax income (loss). Our definition of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements in this press release that address events, developments or results that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the United States (“U.S.”) Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or the negative or other variations on these words and other similar expressions. 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. Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement. 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. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks that may affect us. 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 including:
- changes in general economic and political conditions, including unemployment rates, changes in the U.S. housing and mortgage credit markets (including declines in home prices and property values), the performance of the U.S. or global economies, the amount of liquidity in the capital or credit markets, changes or volatility in interest rates or consumer confidence and changes in credit spreads, all of which may be impacted by, among other things, legislative activity or inactivity (including legislative changes impacting the obligations of the public or sovereign entities that our financial guaranty business insures), actual or threatened downgrades of U.S. government credit ratings, or actual or threatened defaults on U.S. government obligations;
- changes in the way customers, investors, regulators or legislators perceive the strength of private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty providers, in particular in light of the fact that certain of our former competitors have ceased writing new insurance business and have been placed under supervision or receivership by insurance regulators;
- catastrophic events, municipal and sovereign or sub-sovereign bankruptcy filings or other economic changes in geographic regions where our mortgage insurance exposure is more concentrated or where we have financial guaranty exposure;
- our ability to maintain sufficient holding company liquidity to meet our short- and long-term liquidity needs;
- a reduction in, or prolonged period of depressed levels of, home mortgage originations due to reduced liquidity in the lending market, tighter underwriting standards, or general reduced housing demand in the U.S., which may be exacerbated by regulations impacting home mortgage originations, including requirements established under the Dodd-Frank Act;
- our ability to maintain an adequate risk-to-capital position, minimum policyholder position and other surplus requirements for Radian Guaranty, our principal mortgage insurance subsidiary, and an adequate minimum policyholder position and surplus for our insurance subsidiaries that provide reinsurance or capital support to Radian Guaranty;
- Radian Guaranty's ability to comply with the financial requirements of the PMIERs (once adopted) within the applicable transition period which, based on the proposed PMIERs, may require us to contribute a substantial portion of our holding company cash and investments to Radian Guaranty, and could depend on our ability to, among other things: (1) successfully monetize Radian Asset Assurance, a direct subsidiary of Radian Guaranty, or otherwise utilize the capital at Radian Asset Assurance in a manner that complies with the PMIERs; and (2) obtain reinsurance for a portion of our mortgage insurance risk-in-force in a manner that is compliant with the PMIERs. The amount of capital or capital relief that may be required to comply with the PMIERs also may be impacted by the performance of our mortgage insurance business, including our level of defaults, the losses we incur on new and existing defaults and the amount and credit characteristics of new business we write, among other factors. Contributing a substantial portion of our holding company cash and investments to Radian Guaranty would leave Radian Group with less liquidity to satisfy its obligations, and we may not be successful in monetizing or otherwise utilizing the capital of Radian Asset Assurance or in obtaining qualifying reinsurance for our mortgage insurance risk-in-force on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. In the event we are unable to successfully execute these or similar transactions or strategies, or such transactions are not available on terms that are acceptable to us, we may be required or we may decide to seek additional capital by incurring additional debt, by issuing additional equity, or by selling assets, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, if at all. The ultimate form of the PMIERs and the timeframe for their implementation remain uncertain;
- changes in the charters or business practices of, or rules or regulations applicable to the GSEs, including the adoption of the PMIERs, which in their current proposed form: (1) would require Radian Guaranty to hold significantly more capital than is currently required and could negatively impact our returns on equity; (2) could limit the type of business that Radian Guaranty and other private mortgage insurers are willing to write, which could reduce our NIW; (3) could increase the cost of private mortgage insurance, including as compared to the FHA pricing, or result in the emergence of other forms of credit enhancement; and (4) could require changes to our business practices that may result in substantial additional costs in order to achieve and maintain compliance with the PMIERs;
- our ability to continue to effectively mitigate our mortgage insurance and financial guaranty losses;
- a more rapid than expected decrease in the levels of mortgage insurance Rescissions and Claim Denials, which have reduced our paid losses and resulted in a significant reduction in our loss reserves, including a decrease in net rescissions or denials resulting from an increase in the number of successful challenges to previously rescinded policies or claim denials (including as part of one or more settlements of disputed rescissions or denials), or by the GSEs intervening in or otherwise limiting our loss mitigation practices, including settlements of disputes regarding loss mitigation activities;
- the negative impact that our loss mitigation activities may have on our relationships with our customers and potential customers, including the potential loss of current or future business and the heightened risk of disputes and litigation;
- the need, in the event the BAC Settlement Agreement is not implemented or we are unsuccessful in defending our loss mitigation activities, to increase our loss reserves for, and reassume risk on, rescinded or cancelled loans or denied claims, and to pay additional claims, including amounts previously curtailed;
- any disruption in the servicing of mortgages covered by our insurance policies, as well as poor servicer performance;
- adverse changes in the severity or frequency of losses associated with certain products that we formerly offered (and which remain a small part of our insured portfolio) that are riskier than traditional mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance policies;
- a substantial decrease in the persistency rates of our mortgage insurance policies, which has the effect of reducing our premium income on our Monthly Premium policies and could decrease the profitability of our mortgage insurance business;
- heightened competition for our mortgage insurance business from others such as the FHA, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other private mortgage insurers, including with respect to other private mortgage insurers, those that have been assigned higher ratings than we have, that may be perceived as having a greater ability to comply with the PMIERs, that may have access to greater amounts of capital than we do, that are less dependent on capital support from their subsidiaries than we are or that are new entrants to the industry, and therefore, are not burdened by legacy obligations;
- changes to the current system of housing finance, including the possibility of a new system in which private mortgage insurers are not required or their products are significantly limited in effect or scope;
- the effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on the financial services industry in general, and on our businesses in particular, including whether and to what extent loans with private mortgage insurance may be considered "qualified residential mortgages" for purposes of the Dodd-Frank Act securitization provisions;
- the adoption of new or application of existing federal or state laws and regulations, or changes in these laws and regulations or the way they are interpreted, including, without limitation: (i) the resolution of existing, or the possibility of additional, lawsuits or investigations (including in particular investigations and litigation relating to arrangements under RESPA); (ii) changes to the Mortgage Guaranty Insurers Model Act being considered by the NAIC that could include more stringent capital and other requirements for Radian Guaranty in states that adopt the new Mortgage Guaranty Insurers Model Act in the future; and (iii) legislative and regulatory changes (a) impacting the demand for our products, (b) limiting or restricting the products we may offer or increasing the amount of capital we are required to hold, (c) affecting the form in which we execute credit protection, or (d) otherwise impacting our existing businesses or future prospects;
- the amount and timing of potential payments or adjustments associated with federal or other tax examinations, including deficiencies assessed by the IRS resulting from the examination of our 2000 through 2007 tax years, which we are currently contesting;
- the possibility that we may fail to estimate accurately the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in connection with establishing loss reserves for our mortgage insurance or financial guaranty businesses, or to estimate accurately the fair value amounts of derivative instruments in determining gains and losses on these instruments;
- volatility in our earnings caused by changes in the fair value of our assets and liabilities carried at fair value, including our derivative instruments, a significant portion of our investment portfolio and certain of our long-term incentive compensation awards;
- our ability to realize some or all of the tax benefits associated with our gross DTAs, which will depend, in part, on our ability to generate sufficient sustainable taxable income in future periods;
- changes in GAAP or SAP, rules and guidance, or their interpretation;
- legal and other limitations on amounts we may receive from our subsidiaries as dividends or through our tax- and expense-sharing arrangements with our subsidiaries;
- our ability to fully realize the benefits anticipated from our recent acquisition of Clayton, which may be impeded by, among other things, a loss of customers and/or employees; the potential inability to successfully incorporate Clayton's business into Radian Group; and the potential distraction of management time and attention in connection with the post-acquisition process; and
- the possibility that we may need to impair the estimated fair value of goodwill established in connection with our acquisition of Clayton, the valuation of which requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the estimated future economic benefits arising from certain assets acquired in the transaction such as the value of expected future cash flows of Clayton, Clayton's workforce, expected synergies with our other affiliates and other unidentifiable intangible assets.
