| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $1.2B | -3.4% | +23.3% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $582.8M | -3.6% | -6.6% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +92.3% | -3.0% | -14.0% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +61.2% | +2.4% | -29.6% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +46.7% | -0.2% | -24.2% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $115.7M | +117.3% | +120.6% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +9.3% | +118.0% | +78.9% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 23.7% | -53.3% | +7.3% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 4.28x | -90.0% | — |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $8.1B | -6.3% | +3.5% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |

Operator : Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Second Quarter 2026 Radian Group Earnings Conference Call. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Robert Lally, VP of Finance. Please go ahead. Robert Lally : Thank you, and welcome to Radian's Second Quarter 2026 Conference Call. Our press release, which contains Radian's financial results for the quarter, was issued yesterday evening and is posted to the Investors section of our website at radian.com. This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures that may be discussed during today's call, including adjusted pretax operating income, adjusted diluted net operating income per share and adjusted net operating return on equity. A complete description of all our non-GAAP measures may be found in press release Exhibit F and reconciliations to these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures may be found in press release exit. These exhibits are on the Investors section of our website. Today, you will hear from Rick Thornberry, Radian's Chief Executive Officer; Mike Weinbach, Radian's CEO-elect; and Dan Kobell, Senior Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that comments made during this call will include forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially. For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that Radian faces, you should refer to the risk factors included in our 2025 Form 10-K as well as subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These are also available on our website. Now I would like to turn the call over to Rick. Richard Thornberry : Thank you all for joining us today. Before discussing our second quarter results, I'd like to highlight another important milestone at Radian's strategic transformation. When we announced our agreement to acquire Intego in September last year, we also outlined a clear strategic path forward, transforming Radian from a leading U.S. mortgage insurer into a global multiline specialty insurer, while divesting non-core businesses and becoming a more focused insurance organization. Since then, we have successfully closed the Intego acquisition and integrated the business into our organization and we have taken definitive action to complete the divestitures, including completing the sale of our real estate services business this week, entering into an agreement to sell our title business, and earlier this year, exiting the mortgage conduit business. Together, these actions have sharpened our focus on insurance, expanded our product set, simplified our portfolio, reduce organizational complexity, and delivered on the key strategic actions we outlined less than a year ago. …
