Radian Reports Second Quarter Increase of More Than 14% in Diluted Net Income Per Share

   Company also added to book value and exceeded return on equity target

    PHILADELPHIA, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radian Group Inc.
(NYSE: RDN) today reported strong results for the quarter ended June 30,
2006, as diluted net income per share rose by more than 14% year over year
to $1.79, book value per share rose more than 11% to $46.84 and return on
equity exceeded the company's target.
    "Our second quarter results validate the strategy we outlined last
year," said S.A. Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer. "Our businesses
performed well, illustrating our success in leveraging Radian's blended
expertise in mortgage insurance and financial guaranty to benefit customers
and to effectively manage our own credit risk exposure."
    Regarding its Mortgage Insurance business, Radian noted that credit
conditions were favorable, and that it experienced strong volume in both
flow and structured products. Primary insurance in force grew to $116
billion at June 30, 2006, from $108 billion at June 30, 2005. Total
defaults and paid claims continued to decline.
    The company's Financial Guaranty business also posted a strong
performance, closing several deals in the pipeline and earning attractive
risk-adjusted returns. This was accomplished notwithstanding the
persistence of tight credit spreads and an increase in competitive
pressures, and demonstrates the viability of the company's AA franchise. In
addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed the AA financial strength rating of
Radian Asset Assurance, Radian's primary financial guaranty subsidiary, and
revised upward its outlook to stable.
    In the Financial Services segment, C-BASS and Sherman continued to be
very strong contributors to Radian's results.
    The key financial highlights of the quarter ended June 30, 2006, are as
follows:

    All statements made in this news release that address events or
developments 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 are made on the basis of management's current views and
assumptions with respect to future events. The forward-looking statements,
as well as Radian's prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and
uncertainties, including the following: changes in general financial and
political conditions such as extended national or regional economic
recessions (or expansions), changes in housing values, population trends
and changes in household formation patterns, changes in unemployment rates,
and changes or volatility in interest rates; changes in investor perception
of the strength of private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty
providers; risks faced by the businesses, municipalities or pools of assets
covered by Radian's insurance; the loss of a customer with whom Radian has
a concentration of its insurance in force; increased severity or frequency
of losses associated with certain Radian products that are riskier than
traditional mortgage insurance and municipal guaranty insurance policies;
material changes in persistency rates of Radian's mortgage insurance
policies; changes in Radian's credit ratings or the insurance financial-
strength ratings assigned by the major ratings agencies to Radian's
operating subsidiaries; heightened competition from other insurance
providers and from alternative products to private mortgage insurance and
financial guaranty insurance; changes in the charters or business practices
of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; the application of federal or state
consumer-lending, insurance and other applicable laws and regulations, or
unfavorable changes in these laws and regulations or the way they are
interpreted, including: (i) the possibility of private lawsuits or
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 (particularly in light of inquiries that we and other mortgage
insurers have received from the New York Insurance Department and public
reports that other state insurance departments are investigating or
planning to investigate captive reinsurance arrangements used in the
mortgage insurance industry), or (ii) legislative and regulatory changes
affecting demand for private mortgage insurance or financial guaranty
insurance; 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 to estimate accurately the fair value amounts of derivative financial
guaranty contracts in determining gains and losses on these contracts;
changes in accounting guidance from the SEC or the Financial Accounting
Standards Board regarding income recognition and the treatment of loss
reserves in the mortgage insurance or financial guaranty industries;
changes in claims against mortgage insurance products resulting from the
aging of Radian's mortgage insurance policies; vulnerability to the
performance of Radian's strategic investments; changes in the availability
of affordable or adequate reinsurance for our non-prime risk; and
international expansion of our mortgage insurance and financial guaranty
businesses into new markets and risks associated with our international
business activities. For more information regarding these risks and
uncertainties, as well as certain additional risks that we face, investors
should refer to the risk factors detailed in Part I, Item 1A in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. We caution you
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are
current only as of the date of this news release. Radian does not intend to
and disclaims any duty or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements made in this news release to reflect new
information, future events or for any other reason.
