NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Radian believes that adjusted pretax operating income (loss), adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share and adjusted net operating return on equity, each from continuing operations (non-GAAP measures on a consolidated basis) facilitate evaluation of the company’s fundamental financial performance and provide relevant and meaningful information to investors about the ongoing operating results of the company. These measures are not recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered in isolation or viewed as substitutes for GAAP measures of performance. The measures described below have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the company’s operating trends and enabling more meaningful comparisons with Radian’s competitors.

Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP pretax income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the effects of: (i) net gains (losses) on financial instruments and foreign exchange, (ii) amortization of other acquired intangible assets, (iii) other purchase accounting adjustments, net, and (iv) acquisition-related expenses and other non-operating items, such as impairment of internal-use software and other long-lived assets and gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, among others. Adjusted diluted net operating income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing adjusted pretax operating income (loss), net of taxes computed using the company’s effective tax rate, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Adjusted net operating return on equity is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted pretax operating income (loss), net of taxes computed using the company’s effective tax rate, by average stockholders’ equity, based on the average of the beginning and ending balances for each period presented.

See Exhibit F or Radian’s website for a description of these items, as well as Exhibit G for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.
