The above schedule shows the Financial Guaranty Segment, on a GAAP basis, as reported (Column 1) and adjustments (Column 2) to reflect the income statement impact of the recapture (referred to above as the clawback) of business previously ceded to Radian Reinsurance Inc. (the “Company”) by one of the primary insurer customers of the Financial Guaranty Segment. The adjusted numbers are shown in Column 3. The impact of the clawback (Column 2) reflects the clawback of business ceded to the Company in prior periods. This clawback will only affect the first quarter (and, as a result, the year-to-date periods) of 2004. Accordingly, management believes that Column 3 provides useful information to investors by presenting a more meaningful basis of comparison for the Financial Guaranty Segment’s future results.

On February 11, 2004, the Company announced that, effective January 31st, one of its primary insurers was exercising its right to recapture business, which had been assumed by the Company as part of the Company’s reinsurance agreements.

 

Similar to the terms of many of the Company’s reinsurance agreements with other primary insurers, the reinsurance agreements with the applicable primary insurer grant the primary insurer the right to recapture business assumed by the Company under certain circumstances. This recapture right was triggered by the Company’s financial strength rating downgrade from AAA to AA by Standard and Poor’s, which occurred on October 4, 2002.

 

In connection with the recapture, the Company has returned approximately $16.4 billion of par in force and approximately $96.4 million of statutory unearned premium reserves to the primary insurer. In addition, the Company has been reimbursed by the primary insurer for policy acquisition costs of approximately $31.0 million. The Company has also reimbursed the primary insurer approximately $7.5 million for case reserves which were net of $4.0 million of salvage.

 

The Company has reached agreements with its other primary insurer customers, without additional cost to the Company, where they have agreed not to exercise their recapture or ceding commission increase rights with respect to the downgrade by Standard and Poor’s.

Safe Harbor Statement

 

All statements in this document that address operating performance, 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 involve risks and uncertainties including the following: changes in general financial and political conditions, such as extended national or regional economic recessions, changes in housing values, changes or volatility in interest rates, or other political instability; changes in investor perception of the strength of private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty providers, and risks faced by the businesses, municipalities or pools of assets covered by Radian’s insurance; the loss of significant customers with whom Radian has a concentration of its insurance in force; rising delinquencies in mortgage loans insured by Radian resulting from increased consolidation of mortgage lenders and servicers; 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; downgrades of the insurance financial-strength ratings assigned by the major ratings agencies to Radian’s operating subsidiaries; intense competition from others and from alternative products to private mortgage insurance and financial guaranty insurance; changes in the business practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; legislative and regulatory changes affecting demand for private mortgage insurance and financial guaranty insurance; changes in claims against mortgage insurance products resulting from the aging of Radian’s mortgage insurance policies; changes in Radian’s ability to maintain sufficient reinsurance capacity in an increasingly concentrated reinsurance market; vulnerability to the performance of Radian’s strategic investments; and the loss of executive officers or other key personnel.

 

Investors are also directed to other risks discussed in documents filed by Radian with the SEC, including the factors detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 in the section immediately preceding Part I of the report.

 

Radian does not intend to and disclaims any duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this document to reflect new information, future events or for any other reason.
