Radian Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Financial Results

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $250.4 million, or $3.11 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $721.0 million, or $9.03 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. The net loss for the full year 2008 was $410.6 million, or $5.12 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $1.3 billion, or $16.22 per diluted share for the prior year. Book value per share at December 31, 2008 was $25.06.

"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 S. A. Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of Radian. "We were successful in further reducing our credit risk exposure in Financial Guaranty and our non-traditional exposure in mortgage insurance. Furthermore, Radian remains uniquely positioned to benefit from Financial Guaranty as a continuing source of capital support for our MI business."

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 for Radian 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 of December
    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 in January 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 in January 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.

        claims paid ever-to-date plus loss reserves.
    (2) Book year figures may include loans from additional periods pursuant
        to reinsurance agreement terms and conditions.
    (3) Captive Benefit is defined as ceded reserves at period end plus
        ever-to-date claims paid by the trust.

    Supplemental Schedule                                          Schedule 1
    Radian 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.

    Forward Looking Statement

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

        where our mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance in force
        is more concentrated;

    --  our ability to successfully execute upon our internally sourced

        financial guaranty portfolio), and if necessary, to obtain additional

        business and our long-term liquidity needs and to protect our credit
        ratings and the financial strength ratings of Radian Guaranty Inc.,
        our primary mortgage insurance subsidiary, from further downgrades;

    --  a further decrease in the volume of home mortgage originations due to

        requirements in our mortgage insurance business in light of on-going

    --  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

        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;

        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

    --  heightened competition for our mortgage insurance business from others
        such as the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans'

        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

        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)

        second-lien mortgage insurance business, or to estimate accurately the
