-- Company expects to maintain substantially the same excess of Available Assets over Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs 2.0 as it had on June 30, 2018 under the current PMIERs --

Radian Guaranty Inc., the principal mortgage insurance subsidiary of Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN), today commented on the new Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs 2.0) of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) that were issued yesterday and will become effective on March 31, 2019.

Radian expects to comply with PMIERs 2.0 as of the effective date of March 31, 2019, and is positioned to maintain substantially the same excess of Available Assets over Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs 2.0 as it had on June 30, 2018 under the current PMIERs, without a need to take further actions to do so. The company’s expectation is based on its forecasted new insurance written, its projections for ongoing positive operating results, its strong capital position and the benefits of its reinsurance programs.

“Radian is well positioned to maintain compliance with PMIERs 2.0, which provides a strong risk-based capital framework for our mortgage insurance industry and helps us to support our customers in providing affordable, sustainable homeownership opportunities,” said Radian Chief Executive Officer Rick Thornberry.

The PMIERs 2.0 requirements may be found on the FHFA’s website at www.fhfa.gov.
