CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY UPDATE

Radian Group maintained approximately $460 million of available liquidity as of December 31, 2016. The company successfully completed several capital actions in 2016, utilizing a portion of its liquidity to strengthen its financial position and improve its debt maturity profile, with the objective of better positioning Radian Group for a return to investment grade ratings in the future. This series of actions in 2016 included:

• Completion of a $100 million share repurchase program of the company’s common stock, at an average price of $10.62 per share, and the approval of an additional share repurchase of up to $125 million
• Entry into the Radian Guaranty Single Premium QSR transaction, improving the company’s expected return on required capital and effectively managing its PMIERs position in a cost-efficient manner
• Radian Guaranty’s redemption of its $325 million surplus note due to Radian Group, which immediately resulted in a $325 million increase to Radian Group’s available liquidity
• Early redemption of the remaining $196 million face value of its 9.00% Senior Notes due 2017
• Negotiated purchases of aggregate principal amounts of approximately $30 million of the company’s outstanding 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and $322 million of the company’s outstanding 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019
• Issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2021

The combination of these capital actions decreased the company’s total number of diluted shares by 23.3 million in 2016 and improved Radian Group’s debt maturity profile.

RECENT EVENTS

In the fourth quarter of 2016, Radian Group issued a notice of redemption of its remaining 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019, with settlement scheduled for January 27, 2017. The company has elected to settle in cash any conversions by the holders. When completed, this redemption will further reduce the company’s total number of diluted shares by approximately 6.4 million shares and will reduce holding company liquidity by $110 million.

“We both simplified and strengthened our capital structure in 2016, improving the maturity profile of our debt and significantly reducing our number of diluted shares outstanding,” said Radian’s Chief Financial Officer Frank Hall. “We believe the success of our capital activities is an indication of the improved outlook for Radian and for our industry.”

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). Adjusted pretax operating income adjusts GAAP pretax income 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 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.

The expense relates to short- and long-term incentive compensation programs. For our equity-settled long-term incentive awards the annual grants for 2016 were made in the second quarter of 2016. Therefore, expense in the second quarter of 2016 was elevated, primarily due to the required acceleration of expense recognition for retirement-eligible employees, who are considered effectively vested immediately in grants that would otherwise vest over a period of 3 or 4 years. The expense in the third and fourth quarter of 2016 remained elevated, primarily due to adjustments to accrued short-term incentives based on year-to-date performance.

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” and “adjusted diluted net operating income per share,” 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” and “adjusted diluted net operating income 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 is defined as GAAP consolidated pretax income 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 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 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 consolidated 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 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).

  (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).

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 a measure of earnings before interest, income taxes, 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 from continuing operations and diluted net income per share from continuing operations, to our non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated company, adjusted pretax operating income and adjusted diluted net operating income per share, respectively. Exhibit G also contains the reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, to Services adjusted EBITDA.   Total adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating income per share and Services adjusted EBITDA are not measures of total profitability, and therefore should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP pretax income, diluted net income per share or net income. Our definitions of adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating income per share or Services adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.
