- Full year 2015 net income of $287 million or $1.22 per diluted share –

- Full year 2015 adjusted pretax operating income of $511 million or $1.40 per diluted share –

- Book value per share increases 10% year-over-year to $12.07 –

Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) today reported net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, of $74.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. Net income for the full year 2015 was $286.9 million, or $1.22 per diluted share. GAAP net income for 2015 and 2014 are not directly comparable due to the significant impact in 2014 of the sale of Radian Asset Assurance Inc., Radian’s former financial guaranty subsidiary, and the reversal of the company’s deferred tax asset (DTA) valuation allowance.

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

Mortgage Insurance

  • New mortgage insurance written (NIW) was $41.4 billion for the full year 2015, compared to $37.3 billion for the prior-year period. NIW was $9.1 billion for the quarter, compared to $11.2 billion in the third quarter of 2015 and $10.0 billion in the prior-year quarter.
    • Of the $9.1 billion in new business written in the fourth quarter of 2015, 29 percent was written with single premiums, compared to 27 percent in the third quarter of 2015.
    • Refinances accounted for 17 percent of total NIW in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 13 percent in the third quarter of 2015, and 22 percent a year ago.
    • NIW continued to consist of loans with excellent risk characteristics.
  • Total primary mortgage insurance in force as of December 31, 2015, grew to $175.6 billion, compared to $174.9 billion as of September 30, 2015, and $171.8 billion as of December 31, 2014.
    • Persistency, which is the percentage of mortgage insurance in force that remains on the company’s books after a twelve-month period, was 78.8 percent as of December 31, 2015, compared to 79.2 percent as of September 30, 2015, and 84.2 percent as of December 31, 2014.
    • Annualized persistency for the three-months ended December 31, 2015, was 81.8 percent, compared to 80.5 percent for the three-months ended September 30, 2015, and 83.3 percent for the three-months ended December 31, 2014.
  • Total net premiums earned were $226.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $227.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and $224.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
  • The mortgage insurance provision for losses was $56.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $64.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, and $83.6 million in the prior-year period.
    • The provision for losses in the fourth quarter included the positive impact of a reduction in the company’s default to claim rate assumption for new notices of default.
    • The loss ratio in the fourth quarter was 25.1 percent, compared to 28.2 percent in the third quarter of 2015 and 36.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014.
    • Mortgage insurance loss reserves were $976.4 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $1,098.6 million as of September 30, 2015, and $1,560.0 million as of December 31, 2014.
    • Primary reserve per primary default (excluding IBNR and other reserves) was $24,019 as of December 31, 2015. This compares to primary reserve per primary default of $26,237 as of September 30, 2015, and $27,683 as of December 31, 2014. In addition to the reduction in the company's default to claim rate assumption, the decrease in the primary reserve per primary default was the result of a change in the mix of defaults from aged defaults to less aged defaults, which require a comparatively smaller reserve.
  • The total number of primary delinquent loans decreased by 2 percent in the fourth quarter from the third quarter of 2015, and by 22 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014. The primary mortgage insurance delinquency rate decreased to 4.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 4.1 percent in the third quarter of 2015, and 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014.
  • Total mortgage insurance claims paid were $176.5 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $169.1 million in the third quarter, and $117.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. For the full-year 2015, total claims paid were $764.7 million, compared to $838.3 million for the full-year 2014. Claims paid in 2015 included claims related to the September 2014 BofA Settlement Agreement. The company continues to expect claims paid for the full-year 2016 of approximately $400–450 million.

Mortgage and Real Estate Services

  • On June 30, 2014, Radian completed the acquisition of Clayton Holdings LLC, a leading provider of risk-based analytics, residential loan due diligence, consulting, surveillance and staffing solutions. The company also provides
    • customized Real Estate Owned (REO) asset management and single-family rental services through its Green River Capital subsidiary;

    • valuation, title closing and settlement services as well as technology solutions for vendor management through its ValuAmerica subsidiary; and
    • a global reach through its Clayton EuroRisk subsidiary.
  • Total revenues were $157.4 million for the full year 2015, its first full year of operations as a subsidiary of Radian. Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $38.2 million, compared to $43.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, and $35.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.
  • Adjusted pretax operating income before corporate allocations for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, was $3.6 million, compared to $5.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and $7.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $4.2 million, compared to $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and $7.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

The acquisition expands the scope of title and valuation services Clayton offers to its mortgage clients and is consistent with the company’s strategy of being a complete solution provider to the mortgage and real estate industries.

Consolidated Expenses

Other operating expenses were $59.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $65.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, and $85.8 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

  • Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were comprised of $46.7 million for the Mortgage Insurance segment, compared to $51.5 million in the third quarter of 2015, and $76.3 million in the fourth quarter of last year.
  • Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were comprised of $12.7 million for the Services segment, compared to $13.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, and $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2014, other operating expenses of $85.8 million included $24.4 million related to long-term compensation expenses and other year-end bonus accruals, a significant portion of which was driven by the variable compensation expense related to an increase in the company’s stock price.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY UPDATE

Radian Group has approximately $340 million of currently available liquidity.

  • As previously announced, Radian Guaranty met the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs) as of the December 31, 2015, effective date by taking the following actions:
    • Radian Group transferred $325 million of cash and marketable securities to Radian Guaranty in exchange for a surplus note issued by Radian Guaranty. The surplus note has a 0 percent interest rate and is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2025. Based on positive trends reflected in its capital projections, Radian Guaranty expects to seek to redeem a portion and possibly all of the surplus note in 2016, and any remaining amounts in 2017. Any redemption of the surplus note increases holding company liquidity by the corresponding amount of the redemption.
    • Radian Group contributed $50 million to an exclusive affiliated reinsurer of Radian Guaranty. The combination of the surplus note and capital contribution provides Radian Guaranty with an initial cushion above the projected amount required to satisfy the PMIERs’ financial requirements. This cushion is expected to increase based in part on expected future financial performance at Radian Guaranty; as a result, Radian Guaranty is not expected to require any additional capital contributions in order to remain compliant.
    • In order to reduce the company’s required capital under PMIERs, Radian Guaranty is pursuing a reinsurance transaction that is intended to reduce the exposure on its single premium policies. The company has made substantial progress toward a potential transaction and may enter into such a program as early as the first quarter of 2016.
  • As of December 31, 2015, a total of $2.1 billion of risk in force outstanding had been ceded under quota share reinsurance agreements in order to proactively manage Radian Guaranty’s risk-to-capital position. Radian has ceded the maximum amount of NIW under these agreements and did not cede any premium on new business in 2015. On December 31, 2015, Radian Guaranty had the option to recapture a portion of the risk ceded under its existing Second Quota Share Reinsurance Transaction. The company chose not to recapture that risk and received a profit commission of approximately $8 million in 2015 based on performance to date. In addition, Radian Guaranty received an $8.5 million prepaid supplemental ceding commission, the recognition of which has been deferred and will be amortized over approximately the next five years.
  • As previously announced on January 15, 2016, Radian’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the company to purchase up to $100 million of its common stock through the end of 2016. The shares may be purchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The authorization provides Radian the flexibility to repurchase shares opportunistically from time to time, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Radian may utilize a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit the company to purchase shares, at pre-determined price targets, when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Radian believes that adjusted pretax operating income and adjusted diluted net operating income per share (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 viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. The measures described below have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the company’s core 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) from continuing operations. Adjusted pretax operating income adjusts GAAP pretax income from continuing operations 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 and impairment of intangible assets; and (v) net impairment losses recognized in earnings. 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.

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 taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Services EBITDA is calculated 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. Services 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 Measure

Exhibit F (page 1 of 2)

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

 

In addition to the traditional GAAP financial measures, we have presented non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, “adjusted pretax operating income (loss)” and “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share,” 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 core operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with our peers. Although on a consolidated basis “adjusted pretax operating income (loss)” and “adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share” 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 (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.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP pretax income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the effects of net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, loss on induced conversion and debt extinguishment, acquisition-related expenses, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and net impairment losses recognized in earnings. Adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing (i) adjusted pretax operating income (loss) 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 stock-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.

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 amount reflected in pretax income (loss) from continuing operations. 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. These valuation adjustments may not necessarily result in 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). However, we include the change in expected economic loss or recovery associated with our consolidated VIEs, if any, in the calculation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss).   (2)

Loss on induced conversion and debt extinguishment. Gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt or losses incurred to induce conversion of convertible debt prior to maturity are discretionary activities that are undertaken in order to take advantage of market opportunities to strengthen our financial position; therefore, these activities are not viewed 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).

  (4)

Amortization and impairment of 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).

Definition of Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Exhibit F (page 2 of 2)

  (5)

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. We do not view these impairment 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).

 

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 earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We calculate Services 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 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 our non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, adjusted pretax operating income and adjusted diluted net operating income per share, to the most comparable GAAP measures, pretax income from continuing operations and net income per share from continuing operations, respectively. Exhibit G also contains the reconciliation of Services EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure, pretax income from continuing operations.

Total adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and Services EBITDA are not measures of total profitability, and therefore should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income (loss) from continuing operations or net income (loss) per share from continuing operations. Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share or EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.

On a consolidated basis, “adjusted pretax operating income” and “adjusted diluted net operating income per share” are measures not determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not representative of total profitability, and therefore should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income from continuing operations or net income per share from continuing operations. Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income and adjusted diluted net operating income per share 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements in this report 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 Exchange Act and the 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 in particular but without limitation, unemployment rates and changes in housing markets and mortgage credit markets;
  • changes in the way customers, investors, regulators or legislators perceive the strength of private mortgage insurers;
  • Radian Guaranty Inc.’s ability to remain eligible under the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (“PMIERs”) and other applicable requirements imposed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) and by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (collectively, the “GSEs”) to insure loans purchased by the GSEs;
  • our ability to maintain sufficient holding company liquidity to meet our short- and long-term liquidity needs and to successfully execute and implement actions and activities related to our capital plans, including our ability to enter into and receive GSE approval for a reinsurance transaction to reduce exposure to our single premium policies, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms, if at all;
  • our ability to successfully execute and implement our business plans and strategies, including in particular but without limitation, plans and strategies that require GSE approval;
  • our ability to maintain an adequate level of capital in our insurance subsidiaries to satisfy 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;
  • any disruption in the servicing of mortgages covered by our insurance policies, as well as poor servicer performance;
  • a decrease in the persistency rates of our mortgage insurance policies;
  • heightened competition in our mortgage insurance business, including in particular but without limitation, increased price competition;
  • changes to the current system of housing finance;
  • 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 adoption of new laws and regulations, or changes in existing laws and regulations, or the way they are interpreted;
  • the amount and timing of potential payments or adjustments associated with federal or other tax examinations, including deficiencies assessed by the Internal Revenue Service (“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 business;
  • volatility in our results of operations caused by changes in the fair value of our assets and liabilities, including a significant portion of our investment portfolio;
  • changes in “GAAP” (accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) or “SAP” (statutory accounting practices including those required or permitted, if applicable, by the insurance departments of the respective states of domicile of our insurance subsidiaries) rules and guidance, or their interpretation;
