MBIA Inc. Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

August 3, 2022

MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) (the Company) today reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $36 million, or $(0.72) per share, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of $61 million, or $(1.23) per share, for the second quarter of 2021. The improved result versus last year’s second quarter was primarily due to mark-to-market gains on interest rate swaps due to the increase in interest rates in 2022; net gains on financial instruments at fair value in variable interest entities consolidated at MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA Corp.) due largely to the release of credit risk gains from accumulated and other comprehensive income from the redemption of consolidated insured bonds; and a favorable variance of losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) at MBIA Corp., partially offset by investment-related net losses and higher losses and LAE at National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (National). The favorable losses and LAE comparison for MBIA Corp. was primarily due to second quarter 2022 loss benefits related to RMBS and Zohar CDOs and the adverse comparison of losses and LAE for National primarily resulted from the second quarter 2022 estimate of recovery value based on updated market information of the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation (HTA) Contingent Value Instruments (CVIs) received by National on July 8.

Book value per share was negative $13.63 as of June 30, 2022 compared with a negative $5.73 as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in book value per share since year-end 2021 was primarily due to net unrealized losses on investments, which resulted primarily from higher interest rates and wider credit spreads in 2022, and the net loss for the first six months of 2022.

The Company also reported an Adjusted Net Loss (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $47 million or $(0.93) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2022 compared with Adjusted Net Income of $37 million or $0.76 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2021. The adverse result was primarily due to the unfavorable variance of losses and LAE at National that primarily resulted from the estimated fair value of the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation (HTA) Contingent Value Instruments (CVIs) received by National on July 8.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provides investors with views of the Company’s operating results that management uses in measuring financial performance. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, are also attached.

Statement from Company Representative

Bill Fallon, MBIA’s Chief Executive Officer noted, “There has been significant progress regarding the resolution of National’s Puerto Rico HTA exposure with the receipt of National’s anticipated recovery last month that represented about one-half of National’s total estimated recovery for its HTA exposure. National expects to receive the balance of its recovery after confirmation of the HTA’s restructuring plan, which is subject to court approval and the hearing is scheduled to start on August 17.”

Year-to-Date Results

The Company recorded a consolidated GAAP net loss of $109 million, or $(2.20) per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with a consolidated GAAP net loss of $167 million, or $(3.38) per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2021. The lower net loss for 2022 was primarily due to a favorable variance of losses and LAE at MBIA Corp. and net gains on financial instruments in variable interest entities consolidated at MBIA Corp. due largely to the release of credit risk gains from accumulated other comprehensive income from the redemption of consolidated insured bonds, partially offset by greater losses and LAE at National. The favorable losses and LAE comparison for MBIA Corp. was primarily due to second quarter 2022 loss benefits related to Zohar CDOs and the greater losses and LAE for National was primarily due to its insured Puerto Rico exposure.

The Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $143 million or $(2.87) per diluted share compared with an Adjusted Net Loss of $79 million or $(1.60) per diluted share for the first six months of 2021. The greater adjusted net loss for the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to higher losses and LAE at National that largely resulted from its insured Puerto Rico exposure.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following are explanations of why the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, which serve to supplement GAAP information, are meaningful to investors.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss): Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a useful measurement of performance because it measures income from the Company excluding its international and structured finance insurance segment, comprising the results of MBIA Corp. which given its capital structure and business prospects, we do not expect its financial performance to have a material impact on MBIA Inc. Also excluded from Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are investment portfolio realized gains and losses, gains and losses on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange, and realized gains and losses on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) eliminates the tax provision (benefit) as a result of a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset. Trends in the underlying profitability of the Company’s businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the excluded items previously noted. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as defined by the Company does not include all revenues and expenses required by GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a substitute for and should not be viewed in isolation from GAAP net income.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share represents that amount of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) allocated to each fully diluted weighted-average common share outstanding for the measurement period.

MBIA management further adjusts Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share by removing the impact of our U.S. public finance insurance segment VIE consolidations. GAAP requires the Company to consolidate certain VIEs that have issued debt obligations insured by the Company. However, since the Company does not own such VIEs, management uses certain measures that remove the impact of VIE consolidations for our U.S. public finance insurance segment in order to reflect financial exposure limited to its financial guaranty contracts.

Book Value adjustments: Management adjusts GAAP book value to remove the book value of MBIA Corp. and for certain items which the Company believes will reverse from GAAP book value through GAAP earnings and comprehensive income, as well as add in the impact of certain items which the Company believes will be realized in GAAP book value in future periods. The Company has limited such adjustments to those items that it deems to be important when measuring financial performance and for which the likelihood and amount can be reasonably estimated. The following provides a description of management’s adjustments to GAAP book value:

•

Negative book value of MBIA Corp. - We remove the negative book value of MBIA Corp. based on our view that given MBIA Corp.’s current financial condition, the

regulatory regime in which it operates, the priority given to its policyholders, surplus note holders and preferred stock holders with respect to the distribution of assets, and its legal structure, it is not and will not likely be in a position to upstream any economic benefit to MBIA Inc. Further, MBIA Inc. does not face any material financial liability arising from MBIA Corp.

•

Net unrealized (gains) losses on available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities excluding MBIA Corp. - We remove net unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income since they will reverse from GAAP book value when such securities mature. Gains and losses from sales and impairment of AFS securities are recorded in book value through earnings.

•

Net unearned revenue in excess of expected losses of National - We include net unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses. Net unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses consists of the financial guarantee unearned premium revenue of National in excess of expected insurance losses, net of reinsurance and deferred acquisition costs. In accordance with GAAP, a loss reserve on a financial guarantee policy is only recorded when expected losses exceed the amount of unearned premium revenue recorded for that policy. As a result, we only add to GAAP book value the amount of unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses for each policy in order to reflect the full amount of our expected losses. The Company’s net unearned premium revenue will be recognized in GAAP book value in future periods, however, actual amounts could differ from estimated amounts due to such factors as credit defaults and policy terminations, among others.

Claims-paying Resources (CPR): CPR is a key measure of the resources available to National and MBIA Corp. to pay claims under their respective insurance policies. CPR consists of total financial resources and reserves calculated on a statutory basis. CPR has been a common measure used by financial guarantee insurance companies to report and compare resources and continues to be used by MBIA’s management to evaluate changes in such resources. The Company has provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate National and MBIA Corp. using the same measure that MBIA’s management uses to evaluate their resources to pay claims under their respective insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure.

Leverage Ratio: Gross Par Outstanding divided by Statutory Capital (Policyholders’ Surplus plus Contingency Reserve).
