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:

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.
