operating income per share by 60%, and tangible book value per share by 13%. And we continued to grow our insurance in force
portfolio, which is the primary driver of future earnings for Radian,” said Radian’s Chief Executive Officer Rick Thornberry.
“These results represent the success of our business strategy, the strength of our customer relationships, our financial strength
and flexibility, the value of our high-quality insurance portfolio, and the performance of our outstanding team. I am confident
that we are well positioned for 2018 and beyond.”

FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND RECENT EVENTS

Mortgage Insurance

  • MI new insurance written (NIW) was $11.7 billion for the quarter, a decrease of 19 percent compared

    • Of the $11.7 billion in NIW in the first quarter of 2018, 21 percent was written with single
      premiums, consisting of 16 percent lender-paid and 5 percent borrower-paid. After consideration of the 65 percent ceded under
      the company’s 2018 Single Premium Quota Share Reinsurance Transaction, total net single premiums were 7 percent of new
      business written in the first quarter of 2018.
    • Purchase originations accounted for 89 percent of total NIW in the first quarter of 2018,
      compared to 88 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, and 84 percent a year ago.
  • Total primary mortgage insurance in force as of March 31, 2018, grew to $204.0 billion, an
    increase of 2 percent compared to $200.7 billion as of December 31, 2017, and an increase of 10 percent compared to $185.9
    billion as of March 31, 2017.

    • The composition of Radian’s mortgage insurance portfolio continues to improve, with 92 percent
      consisting of new business written after 2008, including those loans that successfully completed the Home Affordable
      Refinance Program (HARP).
    • Persistency, which is the percentage of mortgage insurance that remains in force after a 12-month
      period, was 81.0 percent as of March 31, 2018, compared to 81.1 percent as of December 31, 2017, and 77.1 percent
      as of March 31, 2017.
    • Annualized persistency for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was 84.3 percent, compared
      to 79.4 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and 84.4 percent for the three months ended March 31,
      2017.
  • Total net premiums earned were $242.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to
    $245.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and $221.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

    • Mortgage insurance in force premium yield was 48.7 basis points in the first quarter of 2018, an
      increase compared to 48.1 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2017, and a slight decrease compared to 48.9 in the first
      quarter of 2017.
    • Total net mortgage insurance premium yield, which includes the impact of ceded premiums and
      accrued profit commission, was 47.9 basis points in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 49.4 basis points in the fourth
      quarter of 2017, and 48.0 basis points in the first quarter of 2017.
    • Additional details regarding notable variable items impacting premiums earned may be found in
      Exhibit D.
  • The mortgage insurance provision for losses was $37.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared
    to $35.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and $47.2 million in the prior-year quarter.

    • The total number of primary delinquent loans was 24,597 as of March 31, 2018, a decrease of
      12 percent compared to 27,922 as of December 31, 2017 and a decrease of 5 percent compared to 25,793 as of
      March 31, 2017.

      • The total number of primary delinquent loans included 5,780 from hurricane-affected areas as
        of March 31, 2018, compared to 7,051 as of December 31, 2017 and 2,964 as of March 31, 2017. The company
        believes that these hurricane-related delinquencies have reached their peak and, based on past experience, continues to
        expect that these delinquencies will not result in a material number of new paid claims.
      • Excluding the impact from hurricane-affected areas, the total number of primary delinquent
        loans of 18,817 decreased by 18 percent from 22,829 as of March 31, 2017.
      • Excluding, in each case, the new notices of default from hurricane-affected areas, the total
        number of primary new notices of default decreased by 11 percent in the first quarter of 2018 from the fourth quarter of
        2017, and decreased by 3 percent from the first quarter of 2017.
    • The primary mortgage insurance delinquency rate decreased to 2.5 percent in the first quarter of
      2018, compared to 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, and 2.8 percent in the first quarter of 2017.
    • The loss ratio in the first quarter of 2018 was 15.4 percent, compared to 14.4 percent in the
      fourth quarter of 2017, and 21.3 percent in the first quarter of 2017.
    • Mortgage insurance loss reserves were $485.2 million as of March 31, 2018, compared to
      $507.6 million as of December 31, 2017, and $726.2 million as of March 31, 2017.
  • Total mortgage insurance claims paid were $59.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to
    $85.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and $82.1 million in the first quarter of 2017. In addition, the company’s pending
    claim inventory declined 48 percent from March 31, 2017.

Mortgage and Real Estate Services

  • Total revenues for the first quarter of 2018 were $34.2 million, compared to $40.7 million for the
    fourth quarter of 2017, and $40.1 million for the first quarter of 2017.
  • The adjusted pretax operating loss before corporate allocations for the quarter ended March 31,
    2018, was $0.4 million, compared to income of $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and a loss of $1.2
    million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Services adjusted
    EBITDA) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, was $0.5 million, compared to income of $3.8 million for the quarter ended
    December 31, 2017, and a loss of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Additional details regarding the
    non-GAAP measure Services adjusted EBITDA may be found in Exhibits E, F and G.
  • During the first quarter, Radian acquired Entitle Direct Group, Inc., a national title insurance and
    settlement services company. While the financial terms of the transaction were immaterial to Radian, the acquisition is
    consistent with the company’s growth and diversification strategy, as well as its focus on the core product offerings of its
    Services business. The combination of Entitle Direct’s 40-state title insurance licenses and ValuAmerica, Radian’s existing title
    agency, expands the company’s geographic reach for title services and positions Radian to provide its customers across the
    country with title insurance and settlement services.
  • In order to reposition its Services business to achieve sustained profitability, in 2017 Radian
    committed to a restructuring plan and incurred related pretax charges of $17.3 million. During the first quarter of 2018, pretax
    charges of $0.6 million were incurred, and additional charges related to the restructuring of approximately $3.1 million are
    expected to be incurred under this plan and to be recognized by December 31, 2018.

Consolidated Expenses and Operating Leverage

Other operating expenses were $63.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $66.0 million in the fourth quarter of
2017, and $68.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.

While other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2018 declined 8 percent year over year, revenue grew modestly over the
same period, primarily driven by a 9 percent increase in net premiums earned. These results are consistent with Radian’s long-term
strategic objective of increasing operating leverage through accretive revenue growth and disciplined expense management.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY UPDATE

Radian Group maintained approximately $200 million of available liquidity as of March 31, 2018. Total liquidity, which
includes the company’s $225 million unsecured revolving credit facility entered into in October 2017, was approximately $425
million as of March 31, 2018. The company remains focused on improving its capital position, enhancing its return on capital, and
increasing its financial flexibility, as well as positioning Radian Group for a return to investment grade ratings.

  • During the first quarter, Radian repurchased 531,013 shares, or approximately $10 million, of Radian
    Group common stock. In April, the company purchased an additional 924,720 shares, or approximately $15 million, of Radian Group
    common stock. Under the current share repurchase authorization, which expires on July 31, 2018, the company maintains the
    flexibility to repurchase shares opportunistically from time to time, up to an additional $25 million, subject to its 10b5-1 plan
    and based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors.
  • In April 2018, Radian was notified that the Joint Committee on Taxation had no objection to the terms
    of the company’s previously disclosed proposed settlement with the IRS, which we now expect to occur within the next several
    months.  While the expected impact of the final settlement will reduce Radian’s available holding company liquidity by
    approximately $35 million, the company expects to recognize in the second quarter a net positive impact to tax expense, net
    income and book value of approximately $0.14 per share.  This estimated benefit is primarily related to the lower than
    expected interest accrued on the tax deficiency and the impact of the remeasurement of the company’s deferred taxes, due to the
    enactment of tax reform during the fourth quarter of 2017.  This amount does not include any potential related benefit from
    the impact on state income taxes, which has not yet been determined.
  • As previously announced, Radian Guaranty received the proposed changes to the Private Mortgage
    Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs). Based on this information, which has been subject to comment by the private mortgage
    insurance industry, Radian expects to be able to fully comply with the proposed PMIERs and to maintain an excess of Available
    Assets over Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs as of the expected effective date in late 2018, without a need to take
    further actions to do so. The company’s expectation is not dependent upon the existing surplus note and is based on its
    projections for positive operating results in 2018, its strong capital position and the benefits of its reinsurance
    programs.

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 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 amount
reflected in pretax income (loss). Adjusted pretax operating income adjusts GAAP pretax income (loss) to remove the effects of: (i)
net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments; (ii) loss on induced conversion and debt extinguishment; (iii)
acquisition-related expenses; (iv) amortization or impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; and (v) net impairment
losses recognized in earnings and losses from the sale of business lines. Adjusted diluted net operating income per share
represents a diluted net income per share calculation using as its basis adjusted pretax operating income, net of taxes at the
company’s statutory tax rate for the period. Adjusted net operating return on equity is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted
pretax operating income, 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.

The company has also presented a non-GAAP measure for tangible book value per share, which represents book value per share less
the per-share impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, net. The company uses this measure to assess the quality and growth
of its capital. Because tangible book value per share is a widely used financial measure which focuses on the underlying
fundamentals of the company’s financial position and operating trends without the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets,
the company believes that current and prospective investors may find it useful in their analysis.

In addition to the above non-GAAP measures for the consolidated company, the company also presents as supplemental information a
non-GAAP measure for the Services segment, representing earnings before interest, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA). Services adjusted EBITDA is calculated by using the Services segment’s adjusted pretax operating income as
described above, further adjusted to remove the impact of depreciation and corporate allocations for interest and operating
expenses. Services adjusted EBITDA is presented to facilitate comparisons with other services companies, since it is a widely
accepted measure of performance in the services industry.

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.

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,” “adjusted diluted net operating income per share” and “adjusted net operating return on equity,”
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,” “adjusted diluted net operating income 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 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 induced
conversion and debt extinguishment; (iii) acquisition-related expenses; (iv) amortization or impairment of goodwill and other
intangible assets; and (v) net impairment losses recognized in earnings and losses from the sale of lines of business. Adjusted
diluted net operating income per share is calculated by dividing (i) adjusted pretax operating income attributable to common
shareholders, 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. Interest expense on convertible debt, share
dilution from convertible debt and the impact of share-based compensation arrangements have been reflected in the per share
calculations consistent with the accounting standard regarding earnings per share, whenever the impact is dilutive. Adjusted
net operating return on equity is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted pretax operating income, 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 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 investment gains and losses arise primarily from changes in the market value of our
investments that are classified as trading 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. We do not view them to be
indicative of our fundamental operating activities. Therefore, these items are excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax
operating income (loss).
 
(2)

Loss on induced conversion and debt extinguishment. Gains or losses on early extinguishment
of debt and losses incurred to purchase our convertible 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. Therefore, these items are
excluded from our calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss).
 
(3)

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 strategic 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).

Definition of Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Exhibit F (page 2 of 2)
 
 

(4)

  

Amortization or impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Amortization of
intangible assets represents the periodic expense required to amortize the cost of intangible assets over their estimated
useful lives. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are also periodically reviewed for potential impairment, and
impairment adjustments are made whenever appropriate. 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).
 

(5)

Net impairment losses recognized in earnings and losses from the sale of lines of business.
The recognition of net impairment losses on investments and the impairment of other long-lived assets does not result in a
cash payment and can vary significantly in both amount and frequency, depending on market credit cycles and other factors.
Losses from the sale of lines of business are highly discretionary as a result of strategic restructuring decisions, and
generally do not occur in the normal course of our business. We do not view these losses to be indicative of our fundamental
operating activities. Therefore, whenever these losses occur, we exclude them from our calculation of adjusted pretax
operating income (loss).
 
We have also presented a non-GAAP measure for tangible book value per share, which
represents book value per share less the per-share impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, net. We use this measure to
assess the quality and growth of our capital. Because tangible book value per share is a widely-used financial measure which
focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our financial position and operating trends without the impact of goodwill and other
intangible assets, we believe that current and prospective investors may find it useful in their analysis of the Company.
 
In addition to the above non-GAAP measures for the consolidated company, we also have
presented as supplemental information a non-GAAP measure for our Services segment, representing a measure of earnings before
interest, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We calculate Services adjusted EBITDA by
using adjusted pretax operating income as described above, further adjusted to remove the impact of depreciation and corporate
allocations for interest and operating expenses. We have presented Services adjusted EBITDA to facilitate comparisons with
other services companies, since it is a widely accepted measure of performance in the services industry.
 
See Exhibit G for the reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measures,
consolidated pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, return on equity and book value per share, to our
non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating
income per share, adjusted net operating return on equity, and tangible book value per share, respectively. Exhibit G also
contains the reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), to Services adjusted EBITDA.
 
Total adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating income per
share, adjusted net operating return on equity, tangible book value per share and Services adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, return on
equity, book value per share or net income (loss). Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net
operating income per share, adjusted net operating return on equity, tangible book value per share or Services adjusted EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.

On a consolidated basis, “adjusted pretax operating income,” “adjusted diluted net operating income
per share,” “adjusted net operating return on equity” and “tangible book value per share” are measures not determined in
accordance with GAAP. “Services adjusted EBITDA” is also a non-GAAP measure. 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, book
value per share or net income (loss). Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating
income per share, adjusted net operating return on equity, tangible book value per share or Services adjusted EBITDA 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.

At June 30, 2017 and prior, primarily related to expected payments under the Freddie Mac
Agreement. However, during the third quarter of 2017, the final settlement date under the Freddie Mac Agreement was reached.
Therefore, except for loans with loss mitigation and claims activity already in process, most of the loans subject to the
Freddie Mac Agreement were removed from RIF and IIF, because the insurance no longer remains in force.

Effective December 31, 2017, we amended the 2016 Single Premium QSR Transaction to increase the
amount of ceded risk for 2015 through 2017 vintages under the agreement from 35% to 65%, resulting in ceded premiums written
of $145.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and an increase of $2.5 billion in ceded RIF at December 31, 2017.

(5)

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Persistency Rate was reduced by an increase in
cancellations of single premium policies due to increased cancellations identified by our ongoing servicer monitoring process
for Single Premium Policies.

(6)

During the third quarter of 2017, the final settlement date under the Freddie Mac Agreement was
reached, resulting in a negative impact to the Persistency Rate due to the removal from RIF and IIF of most of the loans
subject to the Freddie Mac Agreement.

The Persistency Rate on a quarterly, annualized basis may be impacted by seasonality or other
factors, and may not be indicative of full-year trends.

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. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

  • changes in economic and political conditions that impact the size of the insurable market, the credit
    performance of our insured portfolio, and the business prospects of our Services segment;
  • changes in the way customers, investors, ratings agencies, regulators or legislators perceive our
    performance, financial strength and future prospects;

  • our ability to successfully execute and implement our capital plans and to maintain sufficient
    holding company liquidity to meet our short- and long-term liquidity needs;

    existing and future state regulatory requirements;
  • changes in the charters or business practices of, or rules or regulations imposed by or applicable
    to, the GSEs, including: changes imposed by the FHFA that impact the GSEs’ business prospects; the GSEs’ interpretation and
    application of the PMIERs and the proposed changes to the PMIERs; and the GSEs’ use of alternative forms of credit
    enhancement;
  • changes in the current housing finance system in the U.S., including the role of the Federal Housing
    Administration (the “FHA”), the GSEs and private mortgage insurers in this system;
  • any disruption in the servicing of mortgages covered by our insurance policies, as well as poor
    servicer performance;
  • a significant decrease in the persistency rates of our mortgage insurance on monthly premium
    products;
  • competition in our mortgage insurance business, including price competition and competition from the
    FHA, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other forms of credit enhancement;
  • 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;
  • legislative and regulatory activity (or inactivity), including the adoption of (or failure to adopt)
    new laws and regulations, or changes in existing laws and regulations, or the way they are interpreted or applied, including
