Radian Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Financial Results
"The private mortgage insurance industry remains a vital component of the
U.S. housing finance system. While Radian and our industry experienced a
difficult year, we believe that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to
pay all anticipated claims, maintain a strong market position and continue to
write new mortgage insurance business throughout 2009," said
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
--Radian Asset Assurance Inc. (Radian Asset), the Company's principal financial guaranty subsidiary, continues to serve as an important source of capital support forRadian Guaranty Inc. (Radian Guaranty), the Company's principal mortgage insurance subsidiary, and is expected to continue to provide our core mortgage insurance business with cash infusions over time. Radian Asset had claims-paying resources of$2.8 billion including$965 million in statutory capital as ofDecember 31, 2008 . -- Radian continues to reduce credit risk exposure in the Financial Guaranty (FG) portfolio and to decrease non-traditional mortgage insurance risk in force. -- Net par outstanding at FG was reduced to$100.7 billion from$116.0 billion a year ago. -- In the fourth quarter, the Company eliminated approximately$4.0 billion of mortgage insurance exposure on a large, international mortgage credit default swap transaction. -- The Company reduced its second lien mortgage insurance exposure by$209 million inJanuary 2009 , bringing its risk in force down to a current level of approximately$400 million , through a commutation agreement with a large second lien counterparty. -- Radian has a 29 percent ownership interest in Sherman Financial and received$35.5 million in dividends from Sherman during 2008 and$6 million inJanuary 2009 . Sherman continues to be a source of additional liquidity and a potential source of additional capital. -- Fourth quarter and full year first and second-lien MI claims paid came in below expectations at$240 million and$916 million , respectively. First quarter MI claims paid are expected to be approximately$270 million . -- The fourth-quarter first-lien primary MI delinquency rate was 12 percent. -- The delinquency rate for prime flow insurance was approximately 7.1 percent during the fourth quarter of 2008 and it is expected to continue to rise in the short-term. -- Positive trends are occurring in certain vintages with indications of improved performance in 2008 business written. -- As a result of reduced mortgage origination volume and the Company's move to a more traditional high quality focus, total primary new MI insurance written during the fourth quarter was$5 billion , approximately 99.6 percent of which was prime. In addition, the average LTV was 90 percent and the average FICO score was 742 on business written in the fourth quarter. -- Radian's loss management initiatives remain a critical priority to its capital preservation.

Supplemental Schedule Schedule 1Radian Group Inc. and Subsidiaries-Consolidated The following schedules show selected lines from the Consolidated Income Statement as reported (Column 1) and adjustments (Column 2) to reflect the income statement impact of the recaptures of business previously ceded to the Company by primary insurer customers of the financial guaranty segment. The adjusted numbers are shown in Column 3. The impact of the recaptures (Column 2) reflects the recapture of business ceded to the Company in prior periods. These recaptures only affected the fourth quarter (and, as a result, the year-to-date period) of 2008. Accordingly, management believes that Column 3 provides useful information to investors by presenting a more meaningful basis of comparison for the Company's past and future results.

All statements in this news 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 U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which 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 information. The forward-looking statements, as well as our prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the following:
-- changes in general financial and political conditions, such as a deepening of the existing national economic recession, further decreases in housing demand, mortgage originations or housing values (in particular, further deterioration in the housing, mortgage and related credit markets, which would harm our future consolidated results of operations and could cause losses for our businesses to be worse than expected), a further reduction in the liquidity in the capital markets and further contraction of credit markets, further increases in unemployment rates, changes or volatility in interest rates or consumer confidence, changes in credit spreads, changes in the way investors perceive the strength of private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty providers, investor concern over the credit quality and specific risks faced by the particular businesses, municipalities or pools of assets covered by our insurance; -- Further economic changes or catastrophic events in geographic regions where our mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance in force is more concentrated; -- our ability to successfully execute upon our internally sourced capital plan (which depends, in part, on the performance of our financial guaranty portfolio), and if necessary, to obtain additional capital to support new business writings in our mortgage insurance business and our long-term liquidity needs and to protect our credit ratings and the financial strength ratings ofRadian Guaranty Inc. , our primary mortgage insurance subsidiary, from further downgrades; -- a further decrease in the volume of home mortgage originations due to reduced liquidity in the lending market, tighter underwriting standards and the on-going deterioration in housing markets throughout the U.S.; -- our ability to maintain adequate risk-to-capital ratios and surplus requirements in our mortgage insurance business in light of on-going losses in this business; -- the concentration of our mortgage insurance business among a relatively small number of large customers; -- disruption in the servicing of mortgages covered by our insurance policies; -- the aging of our mortgage insurance portfolio and changes in severity or frequency of losses associated with certain of our products that are riskier than traditional mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance policies; -- the performance of our insured portfolio of higher risk loans, such as Alternative-A ("Alt-A") and subprime loans, and adjustable rate products, such as adjustable rate mortgages and interest-only mortgages, which have resulted in increased losses in 2007 and 2008 and are expected to result in further losses; -- reduced opportunities for loss mitigation in markets where housing values fail to appreciate or continue to decline; -- changes in persistency rates of our mortgage insurance policies caused by changes in refinancing activity, in the rate of appreciation or depreciation of home values and changes in the mortgage insurance cancellation requirements of mortgage lenders and investors; -- further downgrades or threatened downgrades of, or other ratings actions with respect to, our credit ratings or the ratings assigned by the major rating agencies to any of our rated insurance subsidiaries at any time (in particular, the credit rating ofRadian Group Inc. and the financial strength ratings assigned toRadian Guaranty Inc. ); -- heightened competition for our mortgage insurance business from others such as theFederal Housing Administration and theVeterans' Administration or other private mortgage insurers (in particular those that have been assigned higher ratings from the major rating agencies); -- changes in the charters or business practices ofFederal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae ") andFreddie Mac , the largest purchasers of mortgage loans that we insure, and our ability to remain an eligible provider to bothFreddie Mac andFannie Mae ; -- the application of existing federal or state consumer, lending, insurance, securities and other applicable laws and regulations, or changes in these laws and regulations or the way they are interpreted, including without limitation: (i) the outcome of existing investigations or the possibility of private lawsuits or other formal investigations by state insurance departments and state attorneys general alleging that services offered by the mortgage insurance industry, such as captive reinsurance, pool insurance and contract underwriting, are violative of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and/or similar state regulations, (ii) legislative and regulatory changes affecting demand for private mortgage insurance, or (iii) legislation and regulatory changes limiting or restricting our use of (or requirements for) additional capital, the products we may offer, the form in which we may execute the credit protection we provide or the aggregate notional amount of any product we may offer for any one transaction or in the aggregate; -- 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 the premium deficiencies for our first- and second-lien mortgage insurance business, or to estimate accurately the fair value amounts of derivative contracts in our mortgage insurance and financial guaranty businesses in determining gains and losses on these contracts; -- volatility in our earnings caused by changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments and our need to reevaluate the premium deficiencies in our mortgage insurance business on a quarterly basis; -- changes in accounting guidance from theSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or the Financial Accounting Standards Board; -- legal and other limitations on amounts we may receive from our subsidiaries as dividends or through tax and expense sharing arrangements with our subsidiaries; and -- the performance of our investment inSherman Financial Group LLC .
We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date on which we issued this news release. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this news release to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.
