Description of Business

1. Description of Business

As a leading U.S. private mortgage insurer, Radian provides solutions that expand access to affordable, responsible and sustainable homeownership and help borrowers achieve their dream of owning a home. We have one reportable business segment, Mortgage Insurance.

In addition, we currently provide other solutions and services through our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses. In the third quarter of 2025, we announced our plans to divest these businesses and reclassified them as discontinued operations. See “Discontinued Operations” below and Note 3 for additional information on the businesses to be divested.

Also in the third quarter of 2025, we announced that Radian Group had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Inigo, a Lloyd’s specialty insurer, as part of the Company’s transformative strategy to become a global multi-line specialty insurer. See “Inigo Acquisition” below for additional information on this pending acquisition.

Mortgage Insurance

We provide credit-related insurance coverage, principally through private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. We provide our mortgage insurance products and services through our wholly owned subsidiary, Radian Guaranty.

Private mortgage insurance plays an important role in the U.S. housing finance system because it promotes affordable home ownership and helps protect mortgage lenders and mortgage investors, as well as other beneficiaries such as the GSEs, by mitigating default-related losses on residential mortgage loans. Generally, these loans are made to home buyers who make down payments of less than 20% of the purchase price for their home or, in the case of refinancings, have less than 20% equity in their home. Private mortgage insurance also facilitates the sale of these low down payment loans in the secondary mortgage market, almost all of which are currently sold to the GSEs.

Our total direct primary mortgage IIF and RIF were $280.6 billion and $74.0 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2025, compared to $275.1 billion and $72.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

As our primary mortgage insurance subsidiary, Radian Guaranty is subject to various capital, financial and operational requirements imposed by the GSEs and state insurance regulators. These include the PMIERs financial requirements imposed by the GSEs, as well as risk-to-capital and other risk-based capital measures and surplus requirements imposed by state insurance regulators. Failure to comply with any PMIERs or state regulatory requirements may limit the amount of insurance that Radian Guaranty may write or may prohibit it from writing insurance altogether. The GSEs and state insurance regulators possess significant discretion regarding all aspects of Radian Guaranty’s business. See Note 16 for additional information on PMIERs and other regulatory information.

Discontinued Operations

Following a comprehensive strategic review, which led to our decision to acquire Inigo, we announced the planned divestiture of our Mortgage Conduit, Title and Real Estate Services businesses in September of 2025. This divestiture plan was approved by Radian Group’s board of directors in the third quarter of 2025 and is expected to be completed no later than the third quarter of 2026. Radian has engaged financial advisors to assist with the divestiture of these businesses. As the Company pursues the divestitures, we plan to continue to operate these businesses in the ordinary course.

As a result of the Company’s decision to sell these businesses and our assessment of applicable accounting guidance, we have classified these businesses as held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and have reflected their results as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, effective beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2025. All prior periods have been revised for these changes to conform to the current period presentation.

See Note 2 for information on the accounting policies related to this presentation and Note 3 for additional details related to these businesses.

Inigo Acquisition

In September 2025, Radian entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Inigo for a purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion in a primarily all-cash transaction, subject to adjustment based on the tangible net asset value of Inigo. The obligations of the parties to consummate the transaction are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including obtaining regulatory and other required approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 and to be funded from Radian’s available liquidity sources, including $600 million provided by Radian Guaranty through a ten-year intercompany loan to Radian Group. See Note 16 for additional information on this intercompany note.

Risks and Uncertainties

In assessing the Company’s current financial condition and developing forecasts of future operations, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to potential factors impacting our financial and liquidity position. These judgments and estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect amounts reported in our financial statements in future periods and that could cause actual results to be materially different from our estimates.
