Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

4. Segment Reporting

In the first quarter of 2024, our Chief Executive Officer (Radian’s chief operating decision maker) made certain changes to the way that he organizes and assesses the performance of our operating segments, which resulted in updates to our quantitative and aggregation analyses in accordance with the accounting standard regarding segment reporting. Whereas in prior years we aggregated our Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses and reported them as a single reportable segment named homegenius, effective for 2024 we are reporting the results of operations for these individual businesses and our Mortgage Conduit business, none of which meet the reportable segment materiality thresholds, in the All Other category, along with certain corporate and other activities. This reflects the way our Chief Executive Officer is currently managing and evaluating these businesses individually and is aligned with materiality considerations consistent with current accounting guidance.

As a result of the change described above, we now have one reportable segment, Mortgage Insurance, which derives its revenue from mortgage insurance and other mortgage and risk services, including contract underwriting solutions provided to mortgage lending institutions and mortgage credit investors. In addition to this reportable segment, in All Other we report activities that include: (i) income (losses) from assets held by Radian Group, our holding company; (ii) related general corporate operating expenses not attributable or allocated to our reportable segment; and (iii) the operating results from certain other immaterial activities and operating segments, including our Mortgage Conduit, Title, Real Estate Services and Real Estate Technology businesses. We have reflected this change in our segment operating results for all periods presented, as shown below.

We allocate corporate operating expenses to our Mortgage Insurance business and our immaterial operating businesses included in All Other based primarily on their respective forecasted annual percentage of total revenue, which approximates the estimated percentage of management time spent on each business. In addition, we allocate all corporate interest expense to our Mortgage Insurance segment, due to the capital-intensive nature of our mortgage insurance business. We do not manage assets by operating segments.

See Note 1 for additional details about our Mortgage Insurance business.

Adjusted Pretax Operating Income (Loss)

Our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, uses adjusted pretax operating income (loss) as our primary measure to evaluate the fundamental financial performance of each of Radian’s businesses and to allocate resources to them.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as pretax income (loss) excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments, except for those investments and other financial instruments attributable to our Mortgage Conduit business; (ii) amortization and impairment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets; and (iii) impairment of other long-lived assets and other non-operating items, if any, such as gains (losses) from the sale of lines of business, acquisition-related income (expenses) and gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for detailed information regarding items excluded from adjusted pretax operating income (loss), including the reasons for their treatment.

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: (i) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities or (ii) not expected to result in an economic impact equal to the amount reflected in pretax income (loss).

The reconciliation of adjusted pretax operating income (loss) for our reportable segment to consolidated pretax income is as follows.
