Under state insurance regulations, Radian Guaranty is required to maintain minimum surplus levels and, in certain states, a maximum ratio of net RIF relative to statutory capital, or Risk-to-capital. There are 16 RBC States that currently impose a Statutory RBC Requirement. The most common Statutory RBC Requirement is that a mortgage insurer’s Risk-to-capital may not exceed 25 to 1. In certain of the RBC States, a mortgage insurer must satisfy a MPP Requirement. Radian Guaranty was in compliance with all applicable Statutory RBC Requirements and MPP Requirements in each of the RBC States as of March 31, 2022. Radian Guaranty’s Risk-to-capital was 12.1:1 and 11.1:1 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For purposes of the Risk-to-capital requirements imposed by certain states, statutory capital is defined as the sum of statutory policyholders’ surplus plus statutory contingency reserves. Our other mortgage insurance and title insurance subsidiaries were also in compliance with all statutory and counterparty capital requirements as of March 31, 2022.

In addition, in order to be eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs, mortgage insurers such as Radian Guaranty must meet the GSEs’ eligibility requirements, or PMIERs. At March 31, 2022, Radian Guaranty is an approved mortgage insurer under the PMIERs and is in compliance with the current PMIERs financial requirements.

State insurance regulations include various capital requirements and dividend restrictions based on our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory financial position and results of operations. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of restricted net assets held by our consolidated insurance subsidiaries (which represents our equity investment in those insurance subsidiaries) totaled $4.3 billion of our consolidated net assets.

In light of Radian Guaranty’s negative unassigned surplus related to operating losses in prior periods and the ongoing need to set aside contingency reserves, which totaled $4.0 billion as of March 31, 2022, Radian Guaranty is not currently permitted under applicable insurance laws to pay ordinary dividends or other distributions to Radian Group without prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. In February 2022, the Pennsylvania Insurance Department provided such approval for a $500 million return of capital from Radian Guaranty to Radian Group, which was paid on February 11, 2022 in cash and marketable securities. This transfer was approved as an Extraordinary Distribution in the form of a return of paid-in capital and resulted in a $500 million decrease in Radian Guaranty’s statutory policyholders’ surplus. Based on the current strong performance and assuming the continuation of favorable trends in our mortgage insurance business, we expect that Radian Guaranty could potentially have positive unassigned surplus within the next two years.

Radian Reinsurance had positive unassigned surplus at December 31, 2021, and as a result, Radian Reinsurance does have the ability to pay ordinary dividends up to $32.7 million in 2022.
