Right-of-Use Assets

We assess our various asset groups, which include right-of-use assets, for changes in grouping and for potential impairment when certain events occur or when there are changes in circumstances, including potential alternative uses. If circumstances require a change in asset groupings or a right-of-use asset to be tested for possible impairment, and the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value.

During the second quarter of 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and Radian’s successful transition to a virtual work environment, we made the decision to exit, and to actively market for sublease, all office space in our former corporate headquarters in Philadelphia. As part of this change, we also entered into a new lease with reduced square footage at another Philadelphia area location, which we designated as our new corporate headquarters location effective September 2021.

As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an impairment of $3.5 million related to our former corporate headquarter leases, reducing the carrying value of certain lease assets and the related property and equipment to its estimated fair value. The right-of-use asset fair value was estimated using an income approach based on forecasted future cash flows expected to be derived from the property based on current sublease market rent, which could differ from actual results and require us to revise our initial estimates. Following this impairment, which was recorded within other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, the aggregate carrying value of the right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements related to the former corporate headquarter leases that we plan to sublease was $27.4 million as of September 30, 2021.
