FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

This quarterly report of MBIA Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively, “MBIA”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) includes statements that are not historical or current facts and are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe”, “anticipate”, “project”, “plan”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “will likely result”, “looking forward”, or “will continue” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. MBIA cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only to their respective dates. We undertake no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement if the Company later becomes aware that such result is not likely to be achieved.

The following are some of the general factors that could affect financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying the Company’s forward-looking statements:

•

increased credit losses or impairments on public finance obligations that National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“National”) insures issued by state, local and territorial governments and finance authorities and other providers of public services, located in the U.S. or abroad, that are experiencing fiscal stress;

•

the possibility that loss reserve estimates are not adequate to cover potential claims;

•

a disruption in the cash flow from National or an inability to access the capital markets and our exposure to significant fluctuations in liquidity and asset values in the global credit markets as a result of collateral posting requirements;

•

our ability to fully implement our strategic plan;

•

the possibility that MBIA Insurance Corporation will have inadequate liquidity or resources to timely pay claims as a result of higher than expected losses on certain insured transactions or as a result of a delay or failure in collecting expected recoveries, which could lead the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”) to put MBIA Insurance Corporation into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding under Article 74 of the New York Insurance Law and/or take such other actions as the NYSDFS may deem necessary to protect the interests of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s policyholders;

•

deterioration in the economic environment and financial markets in the United States or abroad, real estate market performance, credit spreads, interest rates and foreign currency levels; and

•

the effects of changes to governmental regulation, including insurance laws, securities laws, tax laws, legal precedents and accounting rules.

The above factors provide a summary of and are qualified in their entirety by the risk factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Other Information, Item 1A included in Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company encourages readers to review these risk factors in their entirety.

This quarterly report of MBIA Inc. also includes statements of the opinion and belief of MBIA management which may be forward-looking statements subject to the preceding cautionary disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the basis for each statement of opinion or belief of MBIA management in this report is the relevant industry or subject matter experience and views of certain members of MBIA’s management. Accordingly, MBIA cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such statements, because like all statements of opinion or belief they are not statements of fact and may prove to be incorrect. We undertake no obligation to publicly correct or update any statement of opinion or belief if the Company later becomes aware that such statement of opinion or belief was not or is not then accurate. In addition, readers are cautioned that each statement of opinion or belief may be further qualified by disclosures set forth elsewhere in this report or in other disclosures by MBIA.

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties

Summary

MBIA Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively, “MBIA” or the “Company”) operates within the financial guarantee insurance industry. MBIA manages three operating segments: 1) United States (“U.S.”) public finance insurance; 2) corporate; and 3) international and structured finance insurance. The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance business is managed through National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“National”), the corporate segment is operated through MBIA Inc. and several of its subsidiaries, including its service company, MBIA Services Corporation (“MBIA Services”) and its international and structured finance insurance business is primarily operated through MBIA Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries (“MBIA Corp.”).

Refer to “Note 10: Business Segments” for further information about the Company’s operating segments.

Business Developments

Puerto Rico

On January 1, 2023, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $18 million. As of June 30, 2023, National had $1.0 billion of debt service outstanding related to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and certain of its instrumentalities (“Puerto Rico”), of which $926 million related to PREPA.

In addition, on July 1, 2023, PREPA defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $119 million.

PREPA

On March 8, 2022, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”) and PREPA terminated the restructuring support agreement. On April 8, 2022, the Court appointed a new panel of judges to commence mediation among the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), the Ad Hoc creditor group of holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and Syncora. The mediation initially terminated on September 16, 2022; however on September 29, 2022 the Court entered an order restarting mediation through January 31, 2023. Mediation has since been further continued until July 28, 2023. On January 31, 2023, National entered into the PREPA Plan Support Agreement (“PREPA PSA”) with the Oversight Board, on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. On February 9, 2023, the Oversight Board filed an amendment to PREPA’s Plan of Adjustment originally filed with the Title III Court on December 16, 2022 (the “Amended Plan”), that reflects the entry into the PREPA PSA and the settlement described therein. On June 26, 2023, the Court entered an order reducing bondholder allowed net unsecured claims to $2.388 billion from approximately $

7.6 billion. On June 28, 2023, Judge Swain ordered that the Oversight Board file the Third Amended Plan of Adjustment for PREPA (“Third Amended Plan”) on July 14, 2023 and that the parties file a joint status report by July 19, 2023 with a proposed litigation schedule for confirmation proceedings. On July 13, 2023, Judge Swain signed an order moving the Third Amended Plan filing date to July 28, 2023 and the joint status report to August 2, 2023.

The plan filing date was subsequently moved to August 4, 2023. The PREPA PSA provides, among other things, for the consensual resolution of the treatment of claims held by National related to insured PREPA revenue bonds and the settlement of National’s participation in litigation related to such claims. The PREPA PSA provides that, upon the effective date of a plan of adjustment, National shall receive in exchange for its bond and reimbursement claims newly issued PREPA secured revenue bonds together with certain fees and expense reimbursement payments, including an interim payment subject to regulatory approval. The PREPA PSA also provides National with the potential to receive additional consideration. The PREPA PSA remains subject to a number of conditions, including (but not limited to) the Title III Court’s approval, and confirmation and effectiveness, of the Third Amended Plan. There is no assurance that the Third Amended Plan or a substantially similar plan of adjustment will ultimately be confirmed and go effective. In the event of a substantially different confirmed plan of adjustment from the PREPA PSA, National’s PREPA loss reserves and recoveries could be materially adversely affected.

Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” for a further discussion of the Company’s Puerto Rico reserves and recoveries.

Zohar CDOs

Payment of claims on MBIA Corp.’s policies insuring the Class A-1 and A-2 notes issued by Zohar collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) 2003-1, Limited (“Zohar I”) and Zohar II 2005-1, Limited (“Zohar II”) (collectively, the “Zohar CDOs”), entitled MBIA Corp. to reimbursement of such amounts plus interest and expenses and/or to exercise certain rights and remedies to seek recovery of such amounts. MBIA Corp. has anticipated that it would receive substantial recoveries on the loans made to, and equity interests in, portfolio companies that, until late March of 2020, were purportedly controlled and managed by the sponsor and former collateral manager of the Zohar CDOs (collectively, the “Zohar Collateral”). Since March of 2018, MBIA Corp. had been pursuing those recoveries in a Delaware bankruptcy proceeding filed by the Zohar CDOs (“Zohar Funds Bankruptcy Cases”). Pursuant to a plan of liquidation that became effective in August of 2022, all remaining Zohar Collateral was distributed to MBIA Corp. either directly or in the form of interests in certain asset recovery entities. There still remains significant uncertainty with respect to the realizable value of the remaining loans and equity interests that formerly constituted the Zohar Collateral. Further, as the monetization of these assets unfolds, and new information concerning the financial condition of the portfolio companies is disclosed, the Company will continue to revise its expectations for recoveries.

Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations, certain of these portfolio companies met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. Refer to the following “Discontinued Operations” section below for further information about the Company’s discontinued operations. In addition, certain of the Zohar debtors’ litigation claims were transferred into a litigation trust that the Company consolidated as a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

Discontinued Operations

For those Zohar-related portfolio companies in which the Company acquired an interest and which have met the criteria for held for sale classification in accordance with ASC 360, the Company classified these entities as held for disposition. Accordingly, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of consolidated portfolio companies and the interests in certain nonconsolidated portfolio companies as held for sale. Furthermore, as these entities met the one-year probable sale criteria on the acquisition date, and the remaining held for sale criteria within a short period following the acquisition date, these entities were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets and liabilities of these entities are presented within “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the results of operations for these entities are classified as “Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

n the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes of $18 million to correct the overstatement of a loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the loss on disposal group. Additionally, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2023 of $8 million to correct the overstatement of a loss attributable to noncontrolling interests recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company evaluated the materiality of these errors in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that these errors, individually and in the aggregate, were immaterial to the current and the prior periods to which these errors relate.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s financial statements include estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The outcome of certain significant risks and uncertainties could cause the Company to revise its estimates and assumptions or could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The discussion below highlights the significant risks and uncertainties that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and business objectives in future periods.

National’s Insured Portfolio

National continues to monitor and remediate its existing insured portfolio and may also pursue other transactions, including a special dividend that could enhance shareholder value. Certain state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are under financial and budgetary stress. This could lead to an increase in defaults by such entities on the payment of their obligations and losses or impairments on a greater number of National’s insured transactions. In particular, PREPA is currently in bankruptcy-like proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. While National has entered into an agreement to support a plan to resolve the PREPA proceeding, PREPA may continue to fail to make payments when due, which could cause National to make additional claims payments which could be material. There is no assurance the PREPA amended plan of adjustment will ultimately be confirmed and go effective. National monitors and analyzes these situations and other stressed credits closely, and the overall extent and duration of this stress is uncertain.

MBIA Corp.’s Insured Portfolio

MBIA Corp.’s primary objectives are to satisfy all claims by its policyholders and to maximize future recoveries, if any, for its surplus note holders, and then its preferred stock holders. MBIA Corp. is executing this strategy by, among other things, taking steps to maximize the collection of recoveries and by reducing and mitigating potential losses on its insurance exposures. MBIA Corp.’s insured portfolio performance could deteriorate and result in additional significant loss reserves and claim payments. MBIA Corp.’s ability to meet its obligations is limited by available liquidity and its ability to secure additional liquidity through financing and other transactions. There can be no assurance that MBIA Corp. will be successful in generating sufficient resources to meet its obligations.

Recoveries

In addition to the recoveries on the Zohar Collateral, MBIA Corp. also projects to collect recoveries from prior claims associated with insured residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”); however, the amount and timing of these collections are uncertain.

Failure to collect its expected recoveries could impede MBIA Corp.’s ability to make payments when due on other policies. MBIA Corp. believes that if the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”) concludes at any time that MBIA Insurance Corporation will not be able to pay its policyholder claims, the NYSDFS would likely put MBIA Insurance Corporation into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding under Article 74 of the New York Insurance Law (“NYIL”) and/or take such other actions as the NYSDFS may deem necessary to protect the interests of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s policyholders. The determination to commence such a proceeding or take other such actions is within the exclusive control of the NYSDFS.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Given the separation of MBIA Inc. and MBIA Corp. as distinct legal entities, the absence of any cross defaults between the entities and the lack of reliance by MBIA Inc. on MBIA Corp. for dividends, the Company does not believe that a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding with respect to MBIA Insurance Corporation would have any significant liquidity impact on MBIA Inc. Such a proceeding could have material adverse consequences for MBIA Corp., including the termination of derivative contracts for which counterparties may assert market-based claims, the acceleration of debt obligations issued by affiliates and insured by MBIA Corp., the loss of control of MBIA Insurance Corporation to a rehabilitator or liquidator, and unplanned costs.

Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” for additional information about MBIA Corp.’s recoveries.

Corporate Liquidity

Based on the Company’s projections of National’s dividends and other cash inflows, the Company expects that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient cash to satisfy its debt service and general corporate needs. However, MBIA Inc. continues to have liquidity risk that could be caused by interruption of or reduction in dividends from National, deterioration in the performance of invested assets, impaired access to the capital markets, as well as other factors, which are not anticipated at this time. Furthermore, failure by MBIA Inc. to settle liabilities that are insured by MBIA Corp. could result in claims on

IA Corp.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies

The Company has disclosed its significant accounting policies in “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following significant accounting policies provide an update to those included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form

10-Q

and Article 10 of Regulation

S-X

and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual periods. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.), but in the opinion of management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts become determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended J

ne 30,

23 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods.

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

The Company has identified LIBOR transition primarily effecting its insurance portfolio exposures that reference or are indexed to LIBOR, interest rate swaps referencing LIBOR, investments indexed to an interbank offered rate, including LIBOR, and MBIA Corp.’s surplus notes. The Company will be applying the accounting relief as relevant contract modifications are made through December 31, 2024. Contract modifications are expected to only include those that address a LIBOR transition.

The Company has not adopted any other new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4: Variable Interest Entities

Primarily through MBIA’s international and structured finance insurance segment, the Company provides credit protection to issuers of obligations that may involve issuer-sponsored special purpose entities (“SPEs”). An SPE may be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to the extent the SPE’s total equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the SPE to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or its equity investors lack any one of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the SPE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. A holder of a variable interest or interests in a VIE is required to assess whether it has a controlling financial interest, and thus is required to consolidate the entity as primary beneficiary. An assessment of a controlling financial interest identifies the primary beneficiary as the variable interest holder that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. An ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest is required to be performed based on any substantive changes in facts and circumstances involving the VIE and its variable interests.

The Company evaluates issuer-sponsored SPEs initially to determine if an entity is a VIE, and is required to reconsider its initial determination if certain events occur. For all entities determined to be VIEs, MBIA performs an ongoing reassessment to determine whether its guarantee to provide credit protection on obligations issued by VIEs provides the Company with a controlling financial interest. Based on its ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest, the Company determines whether a VIE is required to be consolidated or deconsolidated.

The Company makes its determination for consolidation based on a qualitative assessment of the purpose and design of a VIE, the terms and characteristics of variable interests of an entity, and the risks a VIE is designed to create and pass through to holders of variable interests. The Company generally provides credit protection on obligations issued by VIEs, and holds certain contractual rights according to the purpose and design of a VIE. The Company may have the ability to direct certain activities of a VIE depending on facts and circumstances, including the occurrence of certain contingent events, and these activities may be considered the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company generally considers its guarantee of principal and interest payments of insured obligations, given nonperformance by a VIE, to be an obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. At the time the Company determines it has the ability to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity based on facts and circumstances, MBIA is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in the VIE and is required to consolidate the entity as primary beneficiary. The Company performs an ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest that may result in consolidation or deconsolidation of any VIE.

Consolidated VIEs

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are presented separately in “Assets of consolidated variable interest entities” and “Liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. VIEs are consolidated or deconsolidated based on an ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest, when events occur or circumstances arise, and whether the ability to exercise rights that constitute power to direct activities of any VIE are present according to the design and characteristics of these entities. During the second and first quarters of 2023, the Company deconsolidated one structured finance VIE each quarter due to the prepayments of the outstanding notes of the VIEs and recorded losses of $7 million and $15 million, respectively, primarily due to credit losses in AOCI that were released to earnings. During the second and first quarters of 2022, there were no consolidation or deconsolidation of VIEs by the Company. Consolidation and deconsolidation gains and losses, if any, are recorded within “Other net realized gains (losses)” under “Revenues of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 4: Variable Interest Entities (continued)

Holders of insured obligations of issuer-sponsored VIEs do not have recourse to the general assets of the Company. In the event of nonpayment of an insured obligation issued by a consolidated VIE, the Company is obligated to pay principal and interest, when due, on the respective insured obligation only. The Company’s exposure to consolidated VIEs is limited to the credit protection provided on insured obligations and any additional variable interests held by the Company.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

The following tables present the Company’s maximum exposure to loss for nonconsolidated VIEs and carrying values of the assets and liabilities for its interests in these VIEs in its insurance operations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of MBIA’s variable interests in VIEs is represented by insurance in force. Insurance in force is the maximum future payments of principal and interest which may be required under commitments to make payments on insured obligations issued by nonconsolidated VIEs. The Company has aggregated nonconsolidated VIEs based on the underlying credit exposure of the insured obligation. The nature of the Company’s variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs is related to financial guarantees and any investments in obligations issued by nonconsolidated VIEs.

Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

U.S. Public Finance Insurance

U.S. public finance insured transactions consist of municipal bonds, including

tax-exempt

and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utilities, airports, health care institutions, higher educational facilities, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. The Company estimates future losses by using probability-weighted cash flow scenarios that are customized to each insured transaction. Future loss estimates consider debt service due for each insured transaction, which includes par outstanding and interest due, as well as recoveries for such payments, if any. Gross par outstanding for capital appreciation bonds represents the par amount at the time of issuance of the insurance policy.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves (continued)

Puerto Rico

In formulating loss reserves and recoveries for its Puerto Rico exposures, estimates in the Company’s probability-weighted scenarios include assumptions related to the nature, value, and timing of net cash flows considering the following: environmental, economic, and political developments on the island; litigation and ongoing discussions with creditors and obligors on the Title III proceedings; contractual debt service payments; any existing settlement agreements or proposals and deviations from these proposals; the remediation strategy for insured obligations that have defaulted or are expected to default; and values of other obligations of the issuer. Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” for further information on the Company’s Puerto Rico exposures and “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” for information on the Company’s Puerto Rico litigation.

International and Structured Finance Insurance

The international and structured finance insurance segment’s case basis reserves and insurance loss recoveries recorded in accordance with GAAP do not include reserves and recoveries on consolidated VIEs, since they are eliminated in consolidation.

RMBS Case Basis Reserves (Financial Guarantees)

The Company’s RMBS case basis reserves primarily relate to RMBS backed by alternative

A-paper

and subprime mortgage loans. The Company calculated RMBS case basis reserves as of June 30, 2023 using a process called the Roll Rate Methodology (“Roll Rate Methodology”). The Roll Rate Methodology is a multi-step process using databases of loan level information, proprietary internal cash flow models, and commercially available models to estimate potential losses and recoveries on insured bonds. Roll Rate is defined as the probability that current loans become delinquent and subsequently default and loans in the delinquent pipeline are

charged-off

or liquidated. The loss reserve estimates are based on a probability-weighted average of potential scenarios of loan losses. Additional data used for both first and second-lien loans include historic averages of deal specific voluntary prepayment rates, forward projections of the LIBOR interest rates, and historic averages of deal-specific loss severities. Where applicable, the Company factors in termination scenarios when clean up calls are imminent.

In calculating ultimate cumulative losses for RMBS, the Company estimates the amount of first-lien loans that are expected to be liquidated in the future through foreclosure or short sale, and estimates, the amount of second-lien loans that are expected to be charged-off (deemed uncollectible by servicers of the transactions). The time to liquidation for a defaulted loan is specific to the loan’s delinquency bucket.

For all RMBS transactions, cash flow models consider allocations and other structural aspects and claims against MBIA Corp.’s insurance policy consistent with such policy’s terms and conditions. The estimated net claims from the procedure above are then discounted using a risk-free rate to a net present value reflecting MBIA’s general obligation to pay claims over time and not on an accelerated basis.

The Company monitors RMBS portfolio performance on a monthly basis against projected performance, reviewing delinquencies, roll rates, and prepayment rates (including voluntary and involuntary). However, loan performance remains difficult to predict and losses may exceed expectations. In the event of a material deviation in actual performance from projected performance, the Company would increase or decrease the case basis reserves accordingly and

re-evaluate

its assumptions.

RMBS Recoveries

The Company’s RMBS recoveries relate to structural features within the trust structures that allow for the Company to be reimbursed for prior claims paid. These reimbursements for specific trusts include recoveries that are generated from the excess spread of the transactions. Excess spread within insured RMBS securitizations is the difference between interest inflows on mortgage loan collateral and interest outflows on the insured RMBS notes.

CDO Reserves and Recoveries

The Company also has loss and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserves on certain transactions within its CDO portfolio, primarily its multi-sector CDO asset class that was insured in the form of financial guarantee policies. MBIA’s insured multi-sector CDOs are transactions that include a variety of collateral ranging from corporate bonds to structured finance assets (which includes, but are not limited to, RMBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and CDO collateral). The Company’s process for estimating reserves and credit impairments on these policies is determined as the present value of the probability-weighted potential future losses, net of estimated recoveries, across multiple scenarios. The Company considers several factors when developing the range of potential outcomes and their impact on MBIA. A range of loss scenarios is considered under different default and severity rates for each transaction’s collateral. Additionally, each transaction is evaluated for its commutation potential.

Summary of Loss and LAE Reserves and Recoveries

The Company’s loss and LAE reserves and recoveries before consolidated VIE eliminations, along with amounts that were eliminated as a result of consolidating VIEs for the international and structured finance insurance segment, which are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the following table:

Changes in Loss and LAE Reserves

Loss and LAE reserves represent the Company’s estimate of future claims and LAE payments, net of any future recoveries of such payments. The following table presents changes in the Company’s loss and LAE reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Changes in loss and LAE reserves, with the exception of loss and LAE payments and the impact of the revaluation of loss reserves denominated in amounts other than U.S. dollars, are recorded in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average risk-free rate used to discount the Company’s loss reserves (claim liability) was 4.17%. LAE reserves are generally expected to be settled within a

one-year

period and are not discounted. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s gross loss and LAE reserves included $10 million and $12 million, respectively, related to LAE.

(1) - Includes changes in amount and timing of estimated payments and recoveries.

The Company’s loss and LAE reserves declined from December 31, 2022, primarily due to the termination of a first-lien RMBS insured transaction and claim payments on PREPA, partially offset by accretion.

Changes in Insurance Loss Recoverable

Insurance loss recoverable represents the Company’s estimate of expected recoveries on paid claims and LAE. The Company recognizes potential recoveries on paid claims based on the probability-weighted net cash inflows present valued at applicable risk-free rates as of the measurement date. The following table presents changes in the Company’s insurance loss recoverable for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Changes in insurance loss recoverable with the exception of collections, are recorded in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.


			Changes in Insurance Loss Recoverable
			for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
In millions	Gross Recoverable as of December 31, 2022		Collections for Cases			Accretion of Recoveries		Changes in Discount Rates		Changes in Assumptions			Gross Recoverable as of June 30, 2023
Insurance loss recoverable	$	137	$	(5	)	$	2	$	-	$	(34	)	$	100

The decrease in the Company’s insurance loss recoverable reflected in the preceding table was primarily due to updating PREPA scenarios to reflect the latest information about bondholder elections and the estimated value of recoveries under National’s settlement agreement.

Loss and LAE Activity

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the incurred loss primarily relates to updating PREPA scenarios to reflect the latest information about bondholder elections and the estimated value of recoveries under National’s settlement agreement, which resulted in lower net expected recoveries. Changes in scenario assumptions include extending the effective date of a settlement until early 2024 and reflecting the potential that the Company receives less reimbursement of claims, partially offset by an increase in the market value of the bonds and a contingent value instrument (“CVI”) expected to be received upon settlement. In addition, the incurred loss included the termination of a first-lien RMBS insured transaction and accretion. This incurred loss was partially offset by an increase in risk-free rates, which caused future reserves, net of recoveries, to decline, primarily on the Company’s first-lien RMBS portfolio.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in assumptions used to estimate the fair value of HTA CVI that National received in July of 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in risk-free rates during the second quarter of 2022, which resulted in a decrease in the present value of net case reserves on first-lien RMBS.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in the Company’s estimate of expected recoveries on National’s PREPA exposure. PREPA loss reserves and recoveries include certain assumptions about the timing and amount of claims payments and recoveries, including assumptions about the values of recoveries on the date the Company expects to receive reimbursement under an implemented plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company updated assumptions used to estimate the value of recoveries, the timing and amount of claim payments, as well as the timing of an implemented plan. These assumption changes resulted in a decrease in the Company’s estimated present value of PREPA recoveries. This was partially offset by loss benefits related to HTA and GO recoveries. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s HTA recoveries increased, based on updates to the fair value of the HTA CVI that National received in July of 2022 and updated information relating to the values of the expected receipt of HTA bonds, including the consideration of the fair values of similar issued GO bonds. In addition, the Company recorded a loss benefit on its GO recoveries to reflect the fair values of the consideration received as of the acquisition date, which was higher than its previous estimate. Additionally, an increase in risk-free rates during the first six months of 2022, resulted in a decrease in the present value of net case reserves on first-lien RMBS.

Costs associated with remediating insured obligations assigned to the Company’s surveillance categories are recorded as LAE and are included in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, gross LAE related to remediating insured obligations were $ 3 million and a benefit of $17 thousand, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, gross LAE related to remediating insured obligations was $5 million.

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurement

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets held by the Company primarily consist of investments in debt and equity securities and loans receivables at fair value held by consolidated VIEs. Financial liabilities, excluding derivative liabilities, issued by the Company primarily consist of debt issued for general corporate purposes within its corporate segment, MTNs, investment agreements, and debt issued by consolidated VIEs. The Company’s derivative liabilities are primarily interest rate swaps.

Valuation Techniques

Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value are described below.

Fixed-Maturity Securities Held as

Available-For-Sale,

Investments Carried at Fair Value, Investments Pledged as Collateral and Short-term Investments

These investments include investments in U.S. Treasury and government agencies, state and municipal bonds, foreign governments, corporate obligations, MBS, ABS, money market securities, and equity investments.

Table of Contents

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Substantially all of these investments are valued based on recently executed transaction prices or quoted market prices by independent third parties, including pricing services and brokers. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is generally determined using quoted prices of similar investments or a valuation model based on observable and unobservable inputs. Inputs vary depending on the type of investment. Observable inputs include contractual cash flows, interest rate yield curves, credit default swap (“CDS”) spreads, prepayment and volatility scores, diversity scores, cross-currency basis index spreads, and credit spreads for structures similar to the financial instrument in terms of issuer, maturity and seniority. Unobservable inputs include cash flow projections, the value of any credit enhancement and for certain equity investments, EBITDA multiples, discount rates, hard asset values and type certificate values.

Investments based on quoted market prices of identical investments in active markets are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investments generally consist of U.S. Treasury and government agency, money market securities and equity investments. Quoted market prices of investments in less active markets, as well as investments which are valued based on other than quoted prices for which the inputs are observable, such as interest rate yield curves, are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments that contain significant inputs that are not observable are categorized as Level 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and credit worthiness of these instruments and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans Receivable at Fair Value

Loans receivable at fair value are assets held by consolidated VIEs consisting of residential mortgage loans and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values of residential mortgage loans are determined using quoted prices for similar securities or internal cash flow models, adjusted for the fair values of the financial guarantees provided by MBIA Corp. on the related MBS. The fair values of the financial guarantees consider expected claim payments, net of recoveries, under MBIA Corp.’s policies.

Other Assets

Other assets include receivables representing the right to receive reimbursement payments on claim payments expected to be made on certain insured VIE liabilities due to risk mitigating transactions with third parties executed to effectively defease, or,

in-substance

commute the Company’s exposure on its financial guarantee policies. The right to receive reimbursement payments is based on the value of the Company’s financial guarantee determined using a cash flow model. The fair value of the financial guarantee primarily contains unobservable inputs and is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Medium-term Notes at Fair Value

The Company has elected to measure certain medium-term notes (“MTNs”) at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of certain MTNs are based on quoted market prices provided by third-party sources, where available. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company applies a matrix pricing grid to determine fair value based on the quoted market prices received for similar instruments and considering the MTNs’ stated maturity and interest rate. Nonperformance risk is included in the quoted market prices and the matrix pricing grid. MTNs are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and do not include accrued interest.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

The fair values of VIE debt are determined based on recently executed transaction prices or quoted prices where observable. When position-specific quoted prices are not observable, fair values are based on quoted prices of similar securities or internal cash flow models. Fair values based on quoted prices of similar securities and internal cash flow models may be adjusted for factors unique to the securities, including any credit enhancement. Observable inputs include interest rate yield curves, bond spreads of similar securities and MBIA Corp.’s CDS spreads. Unobservable inputs include the value of any credit enhancement. VIE debt are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Derivatives

The corporate segment has entered into derivative transactions primarily consisting of interest rate swaps. Fair values of

over-the-counter

derivatives are determined using valuation models based on observable inputs, nonperformance risk of the Company and nonperformance risk of the counterparties. Observable and market-based inputs include interest rate yields, credit spreads and volatilities. These derivatives are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

A VIE consolidated by the Company entered into a derivative instrument consisting of a cross currency swap. The cross currency swap was entered into to manage the variability in cash flows resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The fair value of the VIE derivative was determined based on the valuation provided by an independent third party, which is included in “Liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities – Derivative liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As the significant inputs are unobservable, the derivative contract is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following tables provide quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used by the Company for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

ensitivity of Significant Unobservable Inputs

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments at fair value are EBITDA multiples, the discount rate, hard asset values and type certificate values. The fair value of equity investments is determined by taking a weighted average of valuation scenarios. If there had been lower or higher EBITDA multiples, hard asset values or type certificate values, the value of equity investments would have been lower or higher, respectively. If there had been a lower or higher discount rate, the value of equity investments would have been higher or lower, respectively.

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s residential loans receivable at fair value of consolidated VIEs is the impact of the financial guarantee. The fair value of residential loans receivable is calculated by subtracting the value of the financial guarantee from the market value of similar instruments to that of the VIE liabilities or the market value derived from internal cash flow models. The value of a financial guarantee is estimated by the Company as the present value of expected cash payments, net of recoveries, under the policy. If there had been a lower expected cash flow on the underlying loans receivable of the VIE, the value of the financial guarantee provided by the Company under the insurance policy would have been higher. This would have resulted in a lower fair value of the residential loans receivable in relation to the obligations of the VIE.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s VIE notes of consolidated VIEs is the impact of the financial guarantee. The fair value of VIE notes is calculated by adding the value of the financial guarantee to the market value of VIE assets. When the VIE note is backed by RMBS, the fair value of the VIE liability is calculated by applying the market value of similar instruments to that of the VIE liabilities or internal cash flow models. The value of a financial guarantee is estimated by the Company as the present value of expected cash payments under the policy. If the value of the guarantee provided by the Company to the obligations issued by the VIE had increased, the credit support would have added value to the liabilities of the VIE. This would have resulted in an increased fair value of the liabilities of the VIE.

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair Value Option

The Company elected to record at fair value certain financial instruments, including certain equity investments and financial instruments that are consolidated in connection with the adoption of the accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs.

The following table presents the gains and (losses) included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 for financial instruments for which the fair value option was elected:

(3) - Reported within “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange-VIE” and “Other net realized gains (losses)-VIE” on MBIA’s consolidated statements of operat

ion

The following table reflects the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate remaining contractual principal balance outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for loans and notes for which the fair value option was elected:


	As of June 30, 2023						As of December 31, 2022
In millions	Contractual Outstanding Principal		Fair Value		Difference		Contractual Outstanding Principal		Fair Value		Difference
Loans receivable at fair value:
Residential mortgage loans - current	$	43	$	43	$	-	$	39	$	39	$	-
Residential mortgage loans (90 days or more past due)		167		27		140		149		39		110

Total loans receivable and other instruments at fair value	$	210	$	70	$	140	$	188	$	78	$	110
Variable interest entity notes	$	503	$	183	$	320	$	780	$	172	$	608
Medium-term notes	$	55	$	38	$	17	$	53	$	41	$	12

The differences between the contractual outstanding principal and the fair values on loans receivable, VIE notes and MTNs in the preceding table are primarily attributable to credit risk. This is due to the high rate of defaults on loans (90 days or more past due), the collateral supporting the VIE notes and the nonperformance risk of the Company on its MTNs, all of which resulted in depressed pricing of the financial instruments.

Instrument-Specific Credit Risk of Liabilities Elected Under the Fair Value Option

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cumulative changes in instrument-specific credit risk of liabilities elected under the fair value option were losses of $16 million and $45 million, respectively, reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were derived principally from changes in the Company’s credit spread. For liabilities of VIEs, additional adjustments to instrument-specific credit risk are required, which is determined by an analysis of deal specific performance of collateral that support these liabilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the portions of instrument-specific credit risk included in AOCI that were recognized in earnings due to settlement of liabilities were losses of $20 million and gains of $15 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the portions of instrument-specific credit risk included in AOCI that were recognized in earnings due to settlement of liabilities were losses of $34 million and gains of $12 million, respectively.

With the weighting applied on the fair value of each security relative to the total fair value, the weighted average contractual maturity of securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 14 years. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 597 and 210 securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position for a continuous twelve-month period or longer, of which, fair values of 546 and 190 securities, respectively, were below book value by more than 5%.

The following table presents the distribution of securities in an unrealized loss position for a continuous twelve-month period or longer where fair value was below book value by more than 5% as of June 30, 2023:

Total		546	$	1,088	$	901

As of June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that it does not have the intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is more likely than not, that it would not have to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. In making this conclusion, the Company examined the cash flow projections for its investment portfolios, the potential sources and uses of cash in its businesses, and the cash resources available to its business other than sales of securities. It also considered the existence of any risk management or other plans as of June 30, 2023 that would require the sale of impaired securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, impairment loss due to intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position was $19 million and reported in “Other net realized gains (losses)” on the Company’s consolidated results of operation.

Credit Losses on Investments

The Company’s fixed-maturity securities for which fair value is less than amortized cost are reviewed quarterly in order to determine whether a credit loss exists. If the Company determines that the declines in the fair value are related to credit loss, the Company will establish an allowance for credit losses and recognize the credit component through earnings. Refer to “Note 8: Investments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the Company’s policy for its determination of credit losses. The Company did not purchase any credit-deteriorated assets for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses Rollforward for AFS

The following tables present the rollforward of allowance for credit losses on AFS investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The additions to the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were related to concerns on an issuer’s credit deterioration as a result of the Ukraine and Russia conflict. The Company did not establish an allowance for credit losses for AFS securities for the three or six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 8: Derivative Instruments

The Company has primarily entered into derivative instruments consisting of interest rate swaps to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates affecting the value of certain assets in the corporate segment. Additionally, the Company has insured interest rate swaps and inflation-linked swaps related to its insured debt issuances in the U.S. public finance insurance and the international and structured finance insurance segments. These derivatives do not qualify for the financial guarantee scope exception and are accounted for as derivative instruments. The Company’s international and structured finance insurance segment consolidated a VIE which is party to a cross currency swap, entered into to manage the variability in cash flows resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates.

Credit Derivatives Sold

The following tables present information about credit derivatives sold by the Company’s insurance operations that were outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Credit ratings represent the lower of underlying ratings assigned to the collateral by Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) or MBIA.

Internal credit ratings assigned by MBIA on the underlying credit exposures are assigned by the Company’s surveillance group. In assigning an internal rating, current status reports from issuers and trustees, as well as publicly available transaction-specific information, are reviewed. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) on insured swaps that are primarily insured interest rate swaps is estimated as the net interest settlements plus principal payments where applicable, on amortizing swaps.

MBIA may hold recourse provisions through subrogation rights of the swap counterparty, whereby if MBIA makes a claim payment, it may be entitled to receive net swap settlements from the issuer under the swap agreement.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The Company manages counterparty credit risk on an individual counterparty basis through master netting agreements covering derivative instruments in the corporate segment. These agreements allow the Company to contractually net amounts due from a counterparty with those amounts due to such counterparty when certain triggering events occur. The Company only executes swaps under master netting agreements, which typically contain mutual credit downgrade provisions that generally provide the ability to require assignment or termination in the event either MBIA or the counterparty is downgraded below a specified credit rating.

Under these agreements, the Company may receive or provide cash, U.S. Treasury or other highly rated securities to secure counterparties’ exposure to the Company or its exposure to counterparties, respectively. Such collateral is available to the holder to pay for replacing the counterparty in the event that the counterparty defaults. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold or post cash collateral to derivative counterparties.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had securities with a fair value of $73 million posted to derivative counterparties, and these amounts are included within “Fixed-maturity securities held as

available-for-sale,

at fair value” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Note 8: Derivative Instruments (continued)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value on one Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) was a liability of $1 million. This CSA governs collateral posting requirements between MBIA and its derivative counterparties. The Company did not receive collateral due to the Company’s credit rating, which was below the CSA minimum credit ratings level for holding counterparty collateral. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the counterparty was rated Aa3 by Moody’s and A+ by S&P.

Financial Statement Presentation

The fair value of amounts recognized for eligible derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, including any cash collateral that may have been received or posted by the Company, is presented on a net basis in accordance with accounting guidance for the offsetting of fair value amounts related to derivative instruments. Insured swaps are not subject to master netting agreements. VIE derivative assets and liabilities are not presented net of any master netting agreements. Counterparty netting of derivative assets and liabilities offsets balances in “Interest rate swaps”, when applicable.

The following tables present the total fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities by instrument and balance sheet location, before counterparty netting, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Note 9: Income Taxes

The Company’s income taxes and the related effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
In millions	2023			2022			2023			2022
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes	$	(78	)	$	(36	)	$	(161	)	$	(109	)
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-
Effective tax rate		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate applied to its loss from continuing operations before income taxes was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to the full valuation allowance on the changes in its net deferred tax asset.

Deferred Tax Asset, Net of Valuation Allowance

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of its existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the Company having a three-year cumulative loss. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as the Company’s projections of

pre-tax

income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset of $

1.2

billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to analyze the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

Net operating losses (“NOLs”) of property and casualty insurance companies are permitted to be carried back two years and carried forward 20 years. NOLs of property and casualty insurance companies are not subject to the 80 percent taxable income limitation and indefinite lived carryforward period required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act applicable to general corporate NOLs.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company’s policy is to record and disclose any change in unrecognized tax benefit (“UTB”) and related interest and/or penalties to income tax in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company includes interest as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had

UTB.

Federal income tax returns through 2011 have been examined or surveyed. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s NOL is approximately $3.9 billion. NOLs generated prior to tax reform and property and casualty NOLs generated after tax reform will expire between tax years 2026 through 2043. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has a foreign tax credit carryforward of $57 million, which will expire between tax years 2023 through 2033.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code

Included in the Company’s Amended

By-Laws

are restrictions on certain acquisitions of Company stock that otherwise may have increased the likelihood of an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. With certain exceptions, the

By-Laws

generally prohibit a person from becoming a “Section 382 five-percent shareholder” by acquiring, directly or by attribution,

% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Inflation Reduction Act

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was signed into law and includes several tax changes, notably a new 15% minimum tax on the book income of large corporations and a 1% excise tax on most stock buybacks. The IRA will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Note 10: Business Segments

As defined by segment reporting, an operating segment is a component of a company (i) that engages in business activities from which it earns revenue and incurs expenses, (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of the segment and to make decisions about the allocation of resources to the segment and, (iii) for which discrete financial information is available.

The Company manages its businesses across three operating segments: 1) U.S. public finance insurance; 2) corporate; and 3) international and structured finance insurance. The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance business is operated through National and its international and structured finance insurance business is operated through MBIA Corp.

The following sections provide a description of each of the Company’s reportable operating segments.

U.S. Public Finance Insurance

The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance portfolio is managed through National. The financial guarantees issued by National provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, U.S. public finance insured obligations when due. The obligations are not subject to acceleration, except that National may have the right, at its discretion, to accelerate insured obligations upon default or otherwise. National’s guarantees insure municipal bonds, including

tax-exempt

and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utilities, airports, health care institutions, higher educational facilities, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. Municipal bonds and privately issued bonds used for the financing of public purpose projects are generally supported by taxes, assessments, fees or tariffs related to the use of these projects, lease payments or other similar types of revenue streams.

Corporate

The Company’s corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA Inc.’s subsidiaries as well as asset and capital management. Support services are provided by the Company’s service company, MBIA Services, and include, among others, management, legal, accounting, treasury, information technology, and insurance portfolio surveillance, on a

fee-for-service

basis. Capital management includes activities related to servicing obligations issued by MBIA Inc. and its subsidiary, MBIA Global Funding, LLC (“GFL”). MBIA Inc. issued debt to finance the operations of the MBIA group. GFL raised funds through the issuance of MTNs with varying maturities, which were in turn guaranteed by MBIA Corp. GFL lent the proceeds of these MTN issuances to MBIA Inc. MBIA Inc. also provided customized investment agreements, guaranteed by MBIA Corp., for bond proceeds and other public funds for such purposes as construction, loan origination, escrow and debt service or other reserve fund requirements. The Company has ceased issuing new MTNs and investment agreements and the outstanding liability balances and corresponding asset balances have declined over time as liabilities matured, terminated or were called or repurchased. All of the debt within the corporate segment is managed collectively and is serviced by available liquidity.

Note 10: Business Segments (continued)

International and Structured Finance Insurance

The Company’s international and structured finance insurance segment is principally conducted through MBIA Corp. The financial guarantees issued by MBIA Corp. generally provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance insured obligations when due, or in the event MBIA Corp. has the right, at its discretion, to accelerate insured obligations upon default or otherwise. MBIA Corp. insures non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance obligations, including asset-backed obligations. MBIA Corp. has insured sovereign-related and sub-sovereign bonds, utilities, privately issued bonds used for the financing of projects that include toll roads, bridges, public transportation facilities, and other types of infrastructure projects serving a substantial public purpose. Global structured finance and asset-backed obligations typically are securities repayable from expected cash flows generated by a specified pool of assets, such as residential and commercial mortgages, structured settlements, consumer loans, and corporate loans and bonds. MBIA Corp. insures the investment contracts written by MBIA Inc., and if MBIA Inc. were to have insufficient assets to pay amounts due upon maturity or termination, MBIA Corp. would make such payments. MBIA Insurance Corporation also insures debt obligations of GFL. MBIA Corp. has also written policies guaranteeing obligations under certain derivative contracts, including termination payments that may become due upon certain insolvency or payment defaults of the financial guarantor or the issuer. MBIA Corp. has not written any meaningful amount of business since 2008.

Note 11: Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated using the

two-class

method in which earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents. The Company grants restricted stock to certain employees and

non-employee

directors in accordance with the Company’s long-term incentive programs, which entitle the participants to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting period on the same basis as those dividends are paid to common shareholders. These unvested stock awards represent participating securities. During periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share exclude the income attributable to participating securities in the numerator and the dilutive impact of these securities from the denominator. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to participating securities in the numerator and the denominator excludes the dilutive impact of these securities since they do not share in the losses of the Company.

Table of Contents

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 11: Earnings Per Share (continued)

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is reported separately for continuing operations and discontinued operations. Basic earnings per share for continuing operations and discontinued operations is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations and discontinued operations available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of all unvested restricted stock outstanding during the period that could potentially result in the issuance of common stock. The dilution from unvested restricted stock is calculated by applying the

two-class

method and using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes the proceeds from the unrecognized compensation expense from unvested restricted stock will be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. If the potentially dilutive securities disclosed in the table below become vested, the transaction would be net share settled resulting in a significantly lower impact to the outstanding share balance in comparison to the total amount of the potentially dilutive securities. During periods of net loss, unvested restricted stock is excluded from the calculation because it would have an antidilutive effect. Therefore, in periods of net loss, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share would result in the same value.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Litigation

Complaint Objecting to Defendant’s Claims and Seeking Related Relief

, Case No. 17-BK-4780-LTS (D.P.R. July 1, 2019)

On July 1, 2019, the Oversight Board and AAFAF filed an adversary complaint against the Trustee for the PREPA bonds, challenging the validity of the liens arising under the Trust Agreement securing the insurance obligations of National. On September 30, 2022, the Oversight Board filed an amended complaint objecting to: (1) the secured claims asserted by the Trustee in PREPA’s assets; and (2) all unsecured claims of the Trustee, including as a result of the disallowance of the Trustee’s claims. The Oversight Board alleges that the Trustee’s security interest in PREPA’s property is limited to moneys deposited to the credit of the sinking fund and subordinate funds, and are

non-recourse

except as to the same sinking and subordinate funds moneys actually deposited. In addition it asserts that the Trust Agreement does not grant security interests in any of the covenants or remedies thereunder, that any security interests in deposit accounts other than those held by the Trustee are unperfected, and that there can be no security interest in the covenants and remedies, and if so, would be unperfected. The Defendants, including National, filed an answer and counterclaim on October 17, 2022. On October 24, 2022, the Oversight Board and Defendants each filed summary judgment motions seeking expedited resolution of certain counts in the amended complaint. On March 22, 2023, the Court ruled on summary judgment, finding the bondholders’ liens only extend to the amount of funds held in certain specified accounts. In addition, the court determined that the unsecured portion of the bondholders’ claims were subject to estimation of their scope.

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

For those aforementioned actions in which it is a defendant, the Company is defending against those actions and expects ultimately to prevail on the merits. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will prevail in these actions. Adverse rulings in these actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to implement its strategy and on its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. At this stage of the litigation, there has not been a determination as to the amount, if any, of damages. Accordingly, the Company is not able to estimate any amount of loss or range of loss. The Company similarly can provide no assurance that it will be successful in those actions in which it is a plaintiff.

There are no other material lawsuits pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party.

Lease Commitments

The Company has a lease agreement for its headquarters in Purchase, New York. The initial lease term expires in 2030 with the option to terminate the lease in 2025 upon the payment of a termination amount. This lease agreement included an incentive amount to fund certain leasehold improvements, renewal options, escalation clauses and a free rent period. This lease agreement has been classified as an operating lease, and operating rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of MBIA Inc. should be read in conjunction with the other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q. In addition, this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations includes statements of the opinion of MBIA Inc.’s management which may be forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A and “Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a further discussion of risks and uncertainties.

OVERVIEW

MBIA Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively, “MBIA”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates within the financial guarantee insurance industry. MBIA manages its business within three operating segments: 1) United States (“U.S.”) public finance insurance; 2) corporate; and 3) international and structured finance insurance. Our U.S. public finance insurance portfolio is managed through National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“National”), our corporate segment is managed through MBIA Inc. and several of its subsidiaries, including our service company, MBIA Services Corporation (“MBIA Services”), and our international and structured finance insurance business is primarily managed through MBIA Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries (“MBIA Corp.”).

National’s primary objectives are to maximize the performance of its existing insured portfolio through effective surveillance and remediation activity and effectively manage its investment portfolio. Our corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA’s operating subsidiaries and asset and capital management. MBIA Corp.’s primary objectives are to satisfy all claims by its policyholders and to maximize future recoveries, if any, for its surplus note holders, and then its preferred stock holders. MBIA Corp. is executing this strategy by, among other things, taking steps to maximize the collection of recoveries and reducing and mitigating potential losses on its insurance exposures. We do not expect National or MBIA Corp. to write significant new business. The Company announced in May of 2023 that it had suspended its process of exploring strategic alternatives in light of prevailing market conditions and feedback arising from that process.

Economic Environment

U.S. economic activity indicators point to modest growth in spending and production, with robust job gains and a low unemployment rate. Inflation remains elevated. With the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) seeking to achieve maximum employment and 2% inflation, the FOMC has increased its target range for the federal funds rate to 5.25% to 5.50% at its most recent meetings. Economic and financial market trends could impact the Company’s financial results. Economic improvement at the state and local level strengthens the credit quality of the issuers of our insured municipal bonds, improves the performance of our insured U.S. public finance portfolio and could reduce the amount of National’s potential incurred losses. In addition, higher projected interest rates could adversely affect the values of our Company’s investment portfolio, but increase investment portfolio yield and income, increase the value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, and decrease the present value of loss reserves.

OVERVIEW (continued)

•

On March 8, 2022, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”) and PREPA terminated the pending restructuring support agreement. On April 8, 2022, the Court appointed a new panel of judges to commence mediation among the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), the Ad Hoc creditor group of holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and Syncora. The mediation initially terminated on September 16, 2022; however on September 29, 2022 the Court entered an order restarting mediation through January 31, 2023. Mediation has since been further continued until July 28, 2023. On January 31, 2023, National entered into the PREPA Plan Support Agreement (“PREPA PSA”) with the Oversight Board, on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. An amended plan of adjustment for PREPA and related disclosure statement, including the PREPA PSA, was filed on February 9, 2023. On June 26, 2023, the Court entered an order reducing bondholder allowed net unsecured claims to $2.4 billion from approximately $7.6 billion. On June 28, 2023, Judge Swain ordered that the Oversight Board file the Third Amended Plan of Adjustment for PREPA (“Third Amended Plan”) on July 14, 2023 and that the parties file a joint status report by July 19, 2023 with a proposed litigation schedule for confirmation proceedings. On July 13, 2023, Judge Swain signed an order moving the Third Amended Plan filing date to July 28, 2023 and the joint status report to August 2, 2023. The plan filing date was subsequently moved to August 4, 2023. There is no assurance the Third Amended Plan will ultimately be confirmed and go effective. In the event of a substantially different confirmed plan of adjustment from the PREPA PSA, National’s PREPA loss reserves and recoveries could be materially adversely affected.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Income (loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes

Consolidated total revenues decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 principally due to unfavorable changes in revenues from consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These unfavorable changes were partially offset by an increase in investment revenues. The unfavorable change in revenues from consolidated VIEs was due to the reclassification of credit risk losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to net income (loss) compared with the reclassification of credit risk gains from AOCI in 2022. These reclassifications were due to early redemptions of VIE liabilities and a deconsolidation of a VIE in 2023. The favorable changes in investment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease of $14 million of net realized investment losses from sales of investments and an increase in net investment income of $13 million primarily from accretion from the early redemption of investments and a higher interest rate environment. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2022 included $19 million of impairments on investments as a result of our intent to sell these securities before they recover their cost basis with no comparable impairment in 2023.

Consolidated total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included $28 million of losses and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) compared with $20 million for the same period of 2022. This increase in losses and LAE was primarily due to unfavorable changes from our insured first-lien residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) exposure in 2023 when compared with 2022. The increase in losses and LAE was partially offset by favorable changes in losses and LAE from certain Puerto Rico credits. Refer to the following “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses” sections of the U.S. Public Finance Insurance and International and Structured Finance Insurance segments for additional information on our losses and LAE. In addition, interest expense and operating expense increased $10 million and $9 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which MBIA Corp.’s surplus notes interest expense are indexed. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Income (loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes

Consolidated total revenues decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 principally due to unfavorable changes in fair value gains on interest rate swaps, revenues from consolidated VIEs and foreign exchange rates. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by an increase investment income and a decrease in losses from fair valuing investments. Fair value gains on our interest rate swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $2 million compared with gains of $63 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was due to a larger increase in interest rates in 2022. Consolidated VIE revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a loss of $42 million compared with a gain of $20 million for the same period of 2022. This unfavorable change is primarily due to the reclassification of credit risk losses from AOCI to net income (loss) in 2023 compared with the reclassification of credit risk gains in 2022 due to the early redemption of VIE liabilities carried at fair value and the deconsolidation of VIEs. Foreign exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 on Euro-denominated liabilities were $4 million compared with gains of $20 million for the same period of 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, these foreign exchange losses and gains were driven by the weakening and strengthening, respectively, of the U.S. dollar against the euro. The six months ended June 30, 2023 included $6 million of gains from fair valuing investments compared with $53 million of losses from fair valuing investments for the same period of 2022. The favorable changes in investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net investment income of $20 million primarily from a higher interest rate environment and accretion from the early redemption of investments and a decrease of $14 million of net realized investment losses from sales of investments. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2022 included $19 million of impairments on investments as a result of our intent to sell these securities before they recover their cost basis with no comparable impairment in 2023.

Consolidated total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $35 million of losses and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) compared with $69 million for the same period of 2022. This decrease in losses and LAE was primarily due to favorable changes from certain Puerto Rico credits. This decrease was partially offset by unfavorable changes in losses and LAE from insured first-lien RMBS exposure in 2023 when compared with 2022. Refer to the following “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses” sections of the U.S. Public Finance Insurance and International and Structured Finance Insurance segments for additional information on our losses and LAE. Interest expense and operating expense increased $20 million and $12 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in LIBOR, which MBIA Corp.’s surplus notes interest expense are indexed. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our effective tax rate applied to our loss before income taxes was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to the full valuation allowance on the changes in our net deferred tax asset, which included our net operating loss (“NOL”).

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset was $1.2 billion. Notwithstanding the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset, the Company believes that it may be able to use some of its net deferred tax asset before the expirations associated with that asset based upon expected earnings at National. Accordingly, the Company will continue to re-evaluate its net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis. There is no assurance that the Company will reverse any of its valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in the future. Refer to “Note 9: Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes, including the valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset and its accounting for tax uncertainties.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes

The Company classifies certain portfolio companies that the Company acquired from the Zohar CDOs bankruptcy distribution as discontinued operations. Included in this amount are the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our discontinued operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

In addition to our results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we also analyze the operating performance of the Company using adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, both non-GAAP measures. Since adjusted net income (loss) is used by management to assess performance and make business decisions, we consider adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share fundamental measures of periodic financial performance which are useful in understanding our results. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share are not substitutes for net income (loss) and net income (loss) per diluted common share determined in accordance with GAAP, and our definitions of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share may differ from those used by other companies.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share include the after-tax results of the Company and remove the after-tax results of our international and structured finance insurance segment, comprising the results of MBIA Corp. and its discontinued operations net of noncontrolling interest and income taxes, which given MBIA Corp.’s capital structure and business prospects, we do not expect its financial performance to have a material economic impact on MBIA Inc., as well as adjusting the following:

•

Mark-to-market gains (losses) on financial instruments – We remove the impact of mark-to-market gains (losses) on financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, investment securities and hybrid financial instruments. These amounts fluctuate based on market interest rates, credit spreads and other market factors.

•

Foreign exchange gains (losses) – We remove foreign exchange gains (losses) on the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities and transactions in non-functional currencies. Given the possibility of volatility in foreign exchange markets, we exclude the impact of foreign exchange gains (losses) to provide a measurement of comparability of adjusted net income (loss).

•

Net realized investment gains (losses), impaired securities and extinguishment of debt – We remove realized gains (losses) on the sale of investments, net investment losses related to impairment of securities and net gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt since the timing of these transactions are subject to management’s assessment of market opportunities and conditions and capital liquidity positions.

•

Income taxes –We apply a zero effective tax rate for federal income tax purposes to our pre-tax adjustments, if applicable, consistent with our consolidated effective tax rate.

The following table presents our adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share and provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

(3) -

Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share is calculated by taking adjusted net income (loss) divided by the GAAP weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding.

Book Value Adjustments Per Share

In addition to GAAP book value per share, for internal purposes management also analyzes adjusted book value (“ABV”) per share, changes to which we view as an important indicator of financial performance. ABV is also used by management in certain components of management’s compensation. Since many of the Company’s investors and analysts continue to use ABV to evaluate MBIA’s share price and as the basis for their investment decisions, we present GAAP book value per share as well as the individual adjustments used by management to calculate its internal ABV metric.

Management adjusts GAAP book value to remove the book value of MBIA Corp., its discontinued operations, 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 to fundamental value and 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., including its discontinued operations 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 impairments of AFS securities are recorded in book value through earnings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

•

Net unearned premium 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.

Since the Company has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset and a zero consolidated effective tax rate, the book value per share adjustments reflect a zero effective tax rate.

The following table provides the Company’s GAAP book value per share and management’s adjustments to book value per share used in our internal analysis:


	As of June 30,			As of December 31,
In millions except share and per share amounts	2023			2022
Total shareholders’ equity of MBIA Inc.	$	(1,000	)	$	(882	)
Common shares outstanding		52,042,915			54,852,671
GAAP book value per share	$	(19.21	)	$	(16.07	)
Management’s adjustments described above:
Remove negative book value per share of MBIA Corp.		(41.88	)		(37.76	)
Remove net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities included in other comprehensive income (loss)		(3.43	)		(3.96	)
Include net unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses		3.06			3.08

U.S. Public Finance Insurance Segment

Our U.S. public finance insurance portfolio is managed through National. The financial guarantees issued by National provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, insured obligations when due or, in the event National has exercised, at its discretion, the right to accelerate the payment under its policies upon the acceleration of the underlying insured obligations due to default or otherwise. National’s guarantees insure municipal bonds, including tax-exempt and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utility districts, airports, healthcare institutions, higher educational facilities, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. Municipal bonds and privately issued bonds used for the financing of public purpose projects are generally supported by taxes, assessments, user fees or tariffs related to the use of these projects, lease payments or other similar types of revenue streams. As of June 30, 2023, National had total insured gross par outstanding of $30.5 billion.

National continues to monitor and remediate its existing insured portfolio and may pursue other transactions, including a special dividend that could enhance shareholder value. Some state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are experiencing financial and budgetary stress which could lead to an increase in defaults by such entities on the payment of their obligations and, while such stress has not yet occurred materially, losses or impairments on a greater number of the Company’s insured transactions. In particular, Puerto Rico had been experiencing significant fiscal stress and constrained liquidity. Refer to the “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section for additional information on our Puerto Rico exposures. We continue to monitor and analyze these situations and other stressed credits closely, and the overall extent and duration of stress affecting our insured credits remains uncertain.

NET PREMIUMS EARNED Net premiums earned on financial guarantees represent gross premiums earned net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. Refunding activity over the past several years has accelerated premium earnings in prior years and reduced the amount of scheduled premiums that would have been earned in the current year. Refunding activity can vary significantly from period to period based on issuer refinancing behavior. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, scheduled premiums earned were $8 million and for the three months ended June 30, 2022, refunded premiums earned were $1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, scheduled premiums earned were $15 million and $16 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, refunded premiums earned were $6 million.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME The increases in net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same periods of 2022 were primarily due to higher yields on investments as a result of a rising interest rate environment.

NET REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES) The net realized investment gains (losses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 related to sales of securities from the ongoing management of our U.S. public finance investment portfolio, including to generate liquidity to pay claims.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, net losses on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange were driven by fair value losses on investments for which the fair value option was elected and investments designated as trading. The losses on the fair value option investments were driven by increases in interest rates and widening of credit spreads during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The losses on the trading investments were driven by mark-to-market changes on the Puerto Rico GO and HTA contingent value instrument (“CVI”).

OTHER NET REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, other net realized losses were primarily related to impairments of certain investments that were in an unrealized loss position as we intended to sell these investments before their value recovered to their amortized cost basis.

LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Our U.S. public finance insured portfolio management group is responsible for monitoring our U.S. public finance segment’s insured obligations. The level and frequency of monitoring of any insured obligation depends on the type, size, rating and our assessed performance of the insured issue. Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Company’s loss reserves.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, losses and LAE incurred relates to updating PREPA scenarios to reflect the latest information about bondholder elections and the estimated value of recoveries under National’s settlement agreement, which resulted in lower net expected recoveries. Changes in scenario assumptions include extending the effective date of a settlement until early 2024 and reflecting the potential that the Company receives less reimbursement of claims, partially offset by an increase in the market value of the bonds and a CVI expected to be received upon settlement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in our actual and estimated recoveries on National’s HTA exposure. HTA loss reserves and recoveries included certain assumptions about the timing and amount of claims payments and recoveries, including assumptions about the values of recoveries on the date we expected to receive reimbursement. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we updated assumptions used to estimate the current fair value of new HTA CVI that National received in July of 2022. These assumption changes resulted in a decrease in our estimated present value of HTA recoveries.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in our estimate of expected recoveries on National’s PREPA exposure, partially offset by benefits related to Puerto Rico HTA and GO recoveries. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we updated our PREPA assumptions used to estimate the value of recoveries, the timing and amount of claim payments, as well as the timing of an implemented plan. These assumption changes resulted in a decrease in our estimated present value of expected PREPA recoveries. This was partially offset by loss benefits related to HTA and GO recoveries. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our HTA recoveries increased based on updates to the fair value of the HTA CVI that National received in July of 2022 and updated information relating to the values of the expected receipt of HTA bonds, including the consideration of the fair values of similar issued GO bonds. In addition, we recorded a loss benefit on our GO recoveries to reflect fair values of the consideration received as of the acquisition date, which was higher than our previous estimate.

The following table presents information about our U.S. public finance insurance loss recoverable asset and loss and LAE reserves liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


In millions	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		Percent Change

Net reserve (salvage)	$	45	$	42		7%

(1) - Reported within “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets.

(2) - Reported within “Other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets.

The insurance loss recoverable as of June 30, 2023 decreased compared with December 31, 2022, primarily due to the expectation in certain circumstances and scenarios, that National will utilize a portion of new collateral received from PREPA to pay current National policyholders. This was partially offset by an updated analysis of the expected market value, on the date of receipt, of certain bonds and a CVI expected to be received under the PREPA Plan of Adjustment. The loss and LAE reserve as of June 30, 2023 decreased compared with December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of re-categorization of certain PREPA salvage as an offset to loss and LAE, as discussed above, as well as claim payments made in January of 2023. In addition, National updated its scenarios to extend the effective date of a settlement until early 2024 and to reflect the potential that the Company receives less reimbursement of claims, partially offset by an increase in the market value of the bonds and a CVI expected to be received upon settlement.

POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES U.S. public finance insurance segment expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented in the following table:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

When an insured obligation refunds, we accelerate to expense any remaining deferred acquisition costs associated with the policy covering the refunded insured obligation. We did not defer a material amount of policy acquisition costs during 2023 or 2022 as we did not write any new insurance business in those years.

INSURED PORTFOLIO EXPOSURE Financial guarantee insurance companies use a variety of approaches to assess the underlying credit risk profile of their insured portfolios. National uses both an internally developed credit rating system as well as third-party rating sources in the analysis of credit quality measures of its insured portfolio. In evaluating credit risk, we obtain, when available, the underlying rating(s) of the insured obligation before the benefit of National’s insurance policy from nationally recognized rating agencies, Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”). Other companies within the financial guarantee industry may report credit quality information based upon internal ratings that would not be comparable to our presentation. We maintain internal ratings on our entire portfolio, and our ratings may be higher or lower than the underlying ratings assigned by Moody’s or S&P.

The following table presents the credit quality distribution of National’s U.S. public finance outstanding gross par insured as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Capital appreciation bonds (“CABs”) are reported at the par amount at the time of issuance of the insurance policy. All ratings are as of the period presented and represent S&P underlying ratings, where available. If transactions are not rated by S&P, a Moody’s equivalent rating is used. If transactions are not rated by either S&P or Moody’s, an internal equivalent rating is used.

U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures

On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board certified and filed a petition under Title III of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) for Puerto Rico with the District Court of Puerto Rico thereby commencing a bankruptcy-like case for the Commonwealth General Obligation (“GO”). Under separate petitions, the Oversight Board subsequently commenced Title III proceedings for the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”), the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (“PRHTA”), PREPA and the Public Buildings Authority (“PBA”) on May 5, 2017, May 21, 2017, July 2, 2017 and September 27, 2019, respectively. On February 4, 2019, the District of Puerto Rico entered the order confirming the Third Amended Title III Plan of Adjustment for COFINA. The Title III cases for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico GO and PBA were confirmed on January 18, 2022, and became effective on March 15, 2022. The confirmation hearing for the PRHTA Title III case was completed on August 17, 2022, and the confirmation order was entered on October 12, 2022, which became effective on December 6, 2022.

As a result of prior defaults, various stays and the Title III cases, Puerto Rico failed to make certain scheduled debt service payments for National insured bonds. As a consequence, National has paid gross claims in the aggregate amount of $2.9 billion relating to GO bonds, PBA bonds, PREPA bonds and PRHTA bonds through June 30, 2023, inclusive of the commutation payment and the additional payment in the amount of $66 million in 2019 related to COFINA and the GO and HTA acceleration and commutation payments of $277 million and $556 million, respectively, in 2022.

Status of Puerto Rico’s Fiscal Plans

The Oversight Board certified fiscal plans for PREPA, University of Puerto Rico (the “University”) and PRHTA on June 28, 2022, May 27, 2022 and October 14, 2022, respectively. The Oversight Board also certified the fiscal year 2023 budgets for Commonwealth, PREPA, the University and PRHTA on June 30, 2022. On June 23, 2023, the Oversight Board filed a fiscal plan for PREPA for FY2023, which provided for approximately $2.4 billion of distributions to PREPA bondholders. The University is not a debtor in Title III and continues to be current on its debt service payment. However, the University is subject to a standstill agreement with its senior bondholders, which has been extended to November 30, 2023. National is not a party to the standstill agreement. As of June 30, 2023, National had $78 million of debt service outstanding related to the University.

PREPA

National’s largest remaining exposure to Puerto Rico, by gross par outstanding, is to PREPA.

On May 3, 2019, PREPA, the Oversight Board, the AAFAF, the Ad Hoc Group of PREPA bondholders (the “Ad Hoc Group”), and Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“Assured”) entered into the a restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) which was amended on September 9, 2019 to include National and Syncora Guarantee, Inc. (“Syncora”) as supporting parties. On March 8, 2022, AAFAF and PREPA terminated the RSA. On April 8, 2022, the Court appointed a new panel of judges to commence mediation among the Oversight Board, the Ad Hoc creditor group of holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and Syncora. The mediation initially terminated on September 16, 2022; however on September 29, 2022, the Court entered an order of restarting mediation through January 31, 2023. Mediation has since been further continued until July 28, 2023. On January 31, 2023, National entered into the PREPA PSA with the Oversight Board, on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. On February 9, 2023, the Oversight Board filed an amendment to the Plan of Adjustment originally filed with the Title III court on December 16, 2022 (the “Amended Plan”), that reflects the entry into the PREPA PSA and the settlement described therein. On June 26, 2023, the Court entered an order reducing Bondholder allowed net unsecured claims to $2.4 billion from approximately $7.6 billion. On June 28, 2023, Judge Swain ordered that the Oversight Board file the Third Amended Plan of Adjustment for PREPA (“Third Amended Plan”) on July 14, 2023 and that the parties file a joint status report by July 19, 2023 with a proposed litigation schedule for confirmation proceedings. On July 13, 2023, Judge Swain signed an order moving the Third Amended Plan filing date to July 28, 2023 and the joint status report to August 2, 2023. The plan filing date was subsequently moved to August 4, 2023. The PREPA PSA provides, among other things, for the consensual resolution of the treatment of claims held by National related to insured PREPA revenue bonds and the settlement of National’s participation in litigation related to such claims. The PREPA PSA provides that, upon the effective date of a plan of adjustment, National shall receive in exchange for its bond and reimbursement claims newly issued PREPA secured revenue bonds together with certain fees and expense reimbursement payments, including an interim payment subject to regulatory approval. The PREPA PSA also provides National with the potential to receive additional consideration. The PREPA PSA remains subject to a number of conditions, including (but not limited to) the Title III Court’s approval, and confirmation and effectiveness, of the Third Amended Plan. There is no assurance the Third Amended Plan or a substantially similar plan of adjustment will ultimately be confirmed and go effective.

On June 22, 2020, the Oversight Board and the Puerto Rico P3 Authority announced an agreement and contract with LUMA Energy, LLC (“LUMA”) which calls for LUMA to take full responsibility for the operation and maintenance of PREPA’s transmission and distribution system; the contract runs for 15-years following a transition period expected to take 12 months. PREPA retains ownership of the system as well as responsibility for the power generation system. LUMA assumed responsibility for operations on June 1, 2021.

On September 18, 2020, FEMA and the PR COR3 Authority announced the commitment by FEMA to provide approximately $11.6 billion (net of the required 10% cost share) to fund projects built by PREPA and the PR Department of Education; approximately $9.4 billion (net) of this amount is designated for PREPA. LUMA is now involved in the planning of the related projects as well as proceedings related thereto in front the PR Energy Bureau as well as PR-COR3.

On January 25, 2023, the Oversight Board and Puerto Rico P3 Authority announced an agreement and contract with Genera PR LLC (“Genera”) which calls for Genera to take full responsibility of the operation and maintenance of the existing power generation assets owned by PREPA; the contract will run for 10-years following a transition period. PREPA retains ownership of the assets.

The following table presents our scheduled gross debt service due on our PREPA insured exposures as of June 30, 2023, for the six months ending December 31, 2023, for each of the subsequent four years ending December 31 and thereafter:

Corporate Segment

Our corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA Inc.’s subsidiaries and asset and capital management. Support services are provided by our service company, MBIA Services, and include, among others, management, legal, accounting, treasury, information technology, and insurance portfolio surveillance, on a fee-for-service basis. Capital management includes activities related to servicing obligations issued by MBIA Inc. and its subsidiary, MBIA Global Funding, LLC (“GFL”). MBIA Inc. issued debt to finance the operations of the MBIA group. GFL raised funds through the issuance of medium-term notes (“MTNs”) with varying maturities, which were in turn guaranteed by MBIA Corp. GFL lent the proceeds of these MTN issuances to MBIA Inc. MBIA Inc. provided customized investment agreements, guaranteed by MBIA Corp., for bond proceeds and other public funds for such purposes as construction, loan origination, escrow and debt service or other reserve fund requirements. The Company ceased issuing new MTNs and investment agreements and the outstanding liability balances and corresponding asset balances have declined over time as liabilities matured, terminated, were called or repurchased. All of the debt within the corporate segment is managed collectively and is serviced by available liquidity.

The following table summarizes the consolidated results of our corporate segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

n/m - Percent change not meaningful.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange were primarily driven by changes in market values on interest rate swaps and changes in the revaluation of euro-denominated liabilities.

The three months ended June 30, 2023 included fair value net gains of $10 million on interest rate swaps compared with fair value net gains of $29 million on these swaps for the same period of 2022. This unfavorable change was due to the impact of larger increases in interest rates in 2022 than 2023 on swaps for which we receive floating rates. The three months ended June 30, 2023 also included foreign currency losses of $1 million on euro-denominated liabilities compared with foreign currency gains of $15 million on these liabilities for the same period of 2022. This decline was due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro in 2023 compared with the U.S. dollar strengthening against the euro in the same period of 2022.

The six months ended June 30, 2023 included fair value net gains of $2 million on interest rate swaps compared with fair value net gains of $62 million on these swaps for the same period of 2022. This unfavorable change was due to the impact of larger increases in interest rates in 2022 than 2023 on swaps for which we receive floating rates. The six months ended June 30, 2023 also included foreign currency losses of $4 million on euro-denominated liabilities compared with foreign currency gains of $20 million on these liabilities for the same period of 2022. This decline was due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro in 2023 compared with the U.S. dollar strengthening against the euro in the same period of 2022.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT Net gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt for all periods include gains from purchases, at discounts, of MTNs issued by the Company.

OPERATING EXPENSE Operating expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same periods of 2022 primarily due to an increase in compensation expense related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

International and Structured Finance Insurance Segment

Our international and structured finance insurance portfolio is managed through MBIA Corp. The financial guarantees issued by MBIA Corp. generally provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance insured obligations when due or, in the event MBIA Corp. has the right, at its discretion, to accelerate insured obligations upon default or otherwise.

MBIA Corp. insures sovereign-related and sub-sovereign bonds, privately issued bonds used for the financing of utilities, toll roads, bridges, public transportation facilities, and other types of infrastructure projects serving a substantial public purpose. Global structured finance and asset-backed obligations typically are securities repayable from cash flows generated by a specified pool of assets, such as residential and commercial mortgages, structured settlements, consumer loans, and corporate loans and bonds. MBIA Insurance Corporation insures the investment agreements written by MBIA Inc., and if MBIA Inc. were to have insufficient assets to pay amounts due upon maturity or termination, MBIA Insurance Corporation would be required to make such payments under its insurance policies. MBIA Insurance Corporation also insures debt obligations of GFL and obligations under certain types of derivative contracts. MBIA Insurance Corporation provides 100% reinsurance to its subsidiary, MBIA Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“MBIA Mexico”). As of June 30, 2023, MBIA Corp.’s total insured gross par outstanding was $3.2 billion. In addition, MBIA Corp. consolidates insured transactions as VIEs if it determines it is the primary beneficiary, and deconsolidates such VIEs when it is no longer the primary beneficiary.

MBIA Corp. has contributed to the Company’s NOL carryforward, which is used in the calculation of our consolidated income taxes. If MBIA Corp. becomes profitable, it is not expected to make any tax payments under our tax sharing agreement. Based on MBIA Corp.’s current projected earnings and our expectation that it will not write significant new business, we believe it is unlikely that MBIA Corp. will generate significant income in the near future. As a result of MBIA Corp.’s capital structure and business prospects, we do not expect its financial performance to have a material economic impact on MBIA Inc.

The following table presents our international and structured finance insurance segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

NET PREMIUMS EARNED Our international and structured finance insurance segment generates net premiums from insurance policies accounted for as financial guarantee contracts. Net premiums earned represent gross premiums earned net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. Certain premiums may be eliminated in our consolidated financial statements as a result of the Company consolidating VIEs. The following table provides net premiums earned from our financial guarantee contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Percent		Six Months Ended June 30,				Percent

Non-U.S.		2		3		-33%		4		6		-33%

Total net premiums earned	$	2	$	3		-33%	$	5	$	7		-29%

NET INVESTMENT INCOME The increases in net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same periods of 2022 were primarily due to the acceleration of accretion to par value on the redemption of securities that were purchased at a discount.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE The net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were primarily driven by foreign exchange losses on the revaluation of non-U.S. dollar insurance balances. In addition, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 amounts include fair value losses on investments from increased interest rates.

FEES AND REIMBURSEMENTS The decreases in fees and reimbursements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same periods of 2022 were primarily due to a decrease in waiver and consent fees in 2023. Due to the transaction-specific nature inherent in fees and reimbursements, these revenues can vary significantly from period to period.

REVENUES OF CONSOLIDATED VIEs The unfavorable change for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 was primarily due to the reclassification of $20 million of credit risk losses from AOCI to net income (loss) compared with the reclassification of $15 million of credit risk gains from AOCI in 2022. These reclassifications were due to early redemptions of VIE liabilities and a deconsolidation of a VIE in 2023.

The unfavorable change for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 was primarily due to the reclassification of $34 million of credit risk losses from AOCI to net income (loss) compared with the reclassification of $12 million of net credit risk gains from AOCI in 2022. These reclassifications were due to early redemptions of VIE liabilities and the deconsolidation of VIEs in 2023.

LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Our international and structured finance insured portfolio management group is responsible for monitoring international and structured finance insured obligations. The level and frequency of monitoring of any insured obligation depends on the type, size, rating and our assessed performance of the insured issue. Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s loss reserving policy and additional information related to its loss reserves.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the incurred loss primarily related to the termination of a first-lien RMBS insured transaction, partially offset by an in increase in risk-free rates, which caused future reserves, net of recoveries, to decline.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the losses and LAE benefit related to increases in the risk-free rates used to discount expected claims payments, which decreased the present value of net loss reserves, primarily on insured RMBS transactions, as well as an increase in expected salvage collections from insured CDO transactions. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in LIBOR, which increased estimated claims payments on floating rate insured debt in both RMBS and CDO transactions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the losses and LAE benefit primarily related to insured RMBS transactions, as a result of an increase in year-to-date risk-free rates during 2022, which caused case reserves, net of recoveries, to decline, as well as an increase in expected salvage collections from insured CDOs. This was partially offset by an increase in LIBOR rates, which increased estimated claims payments on floating rate insured debt in both RMBS and CDO transactions.

As a result of the consolidation of VIEs, loss and LAE excludes a losses and LAE expense of $4 million and a losses and LAE benefit of $32 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and excludes a losses and LAE benefit of $62 thousand and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as VIE losses and LAE are eliminated in consolidation.

Reported within “Other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets.

The insurance loss recoverable primarily relates to reimbursement rights arising from the payment of claims on MBIA Corp.’s policies insuring certain RMBS transactions. Such payments also entitle MBIA Corp. to exercise certain rights and remedies to seek recovery of its reimbursement entitlements. The decrease in MBIA Corp.’s loss and LAE reserves from 2022 was primarily due to the termination of a first-lien RMBS insured transaction. This was partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, which caused foreign currency denominated case reserves on our insured first-lien RMBS portfolio to increase.

Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding risks and uncertainties related to future collections of estimated recoveries. Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our loss reserving policy, loss reserves and recoverables.

POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND OPERATING EXPENSES International and structured finance insurance segment expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented in the following table:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Percent		Six Months Ended June 30,				Percent
In millions	2023		2022		Change		2023		2022		Change
Gross expenses	$	6	$	5		20%	$	12	$	11		9%

Operating		5		5		-%		11		11		-%

Total insurance operating expenses	$	7	$	7		-%	$	15	$	17		-12%

Gross expenses represent total insurance expenses before the deferral of any policy acquisition costs. We did not defer a material amount of policy acquisition costs during 2023 or 2022 as no new business was written. Policy acquisition costs in these periods were primarily related to ceding commissions and premium taxes on installment policies written in prior periods.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense relates to MBIA Corp.’s surplus notes which are indexed to LIBOR. The increase in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 was due to an increase in LIBOR. Refer to the following “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for more information about MBIA Corp.’s surplus notes.

International and Structured Finance Insurance Portfolio Exposures

Credit Quality

The credit quality of our international and structured finance insured portfolio is assessed in the same manner as our U.S. public finance insured portfolio. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 27% and 30%, respectively, of our international and structured finance insured portfolio was rated below investment grade, before giving effect to MBIA’s guarantees, based on MBIA’s internal ratings, which are generally more current than the underlying ratings provided by S&P and Moody’s for this subset of our insured portfolio. Below investment grade insurance policies primarily include our first-lien RMBS and CDO exposures.

Selected Portfolio Exposures

MBIA Corp. insures RMBS backed by residential mortgage loans, including first-lien alternative A-paper and subprime mortgage loans directly through RMBS securitizations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, MBIA Corp. had $739 million and $802 million, respectively, of first-lien RMBS gross par outstanding. These amounts include the gross par outstanding related to transactions that the Company consolidates under accounting guidance for VIEs and includes international exposure of $161 million and $149 million, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

In addition, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, MBIA Corp. insured $117 million and $201 million, respectively, of CDOs and related instruments.

We may experience considerable incurred losses in certain of these sectors. There can be no assurance that the loss reserves recorded in our financial statements will be sufficient or that we will not experience losses on transactions on which we currently have no loss reserves, in particular if the economy deteriorates. We may seek to purchase, directly or indirectly, obligations guaranteed by MBIA Corp. or seek to commute policies. The amount of insurance exposure reduced, if any, and the nature of any such actions will depend on market conditions, pricing levels from time to time, and other considerations. In some cases, these activities may result in a reduction of loss reserves, but in all cases they are intended to limit our ultimate losses and reduce the future volatility in loss development on the related policies. Our ability to purchase guaranteed obligations and to commute policies will depend on management’s assessment of available liquidity.

Effective in the first quarter of 2022, MBIA Corp. was granted a permitted practice by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”) related to the purchase of certain MBIA Corp.-insured securities with gross case base loss reserves (“Remediation Securities”). The Remediation Securities are being acquired with the intent to terminate or commute the related insurance policies. MBIA Corp. may elect to sell the Remediation Securities to facilitate a termination or commutation.

U.S. Public Finance and International and Structured Finance Reinsurance

Reinsurance enables the Company to cede exposure for purposes of syndicating risk. The Company generally retains the right to reassume the business ceded to reinsurers under certain circumstances, including a reinsurer’s rating downgrade below specified thresholds. Currently, we do not intend to use reinsurance to decrease the insured exposure in our portfolio.

As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of insured par outstanding ceded by MBIA to reinsurers under reinsurance agreements was $847 million compared with $897 million as of December 31, 2022. Under National’s reinsurance agreement with MBIA Corp., if a reinsurer of MBIA Corp. is unable to pay claims ceded by MBIA Corp. on U.S. public finance exposure, National will assume liability for such ceded claim payments. For a further discussion of the Company’s reinsurance, refer to “Note 13: Insurance in Force” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

We use a liquidity risk management framework, the primary objective of which is to match liquidity resources to needs. We monitor our cash and liquid asset resources using cash forecasting and stress-scenario testing. Members of MBIA’s senior management meet regularly to review liquidity metrics, discuss contingency plans and establish target liquidity levels. We evaluate and manage liquidity on a legal-entity basis to take into account the legal, regulatory and other limitations on available liquidity resources within the enterprise.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Information about our consolidated cash flows by category is presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Six Months Ended June 30,						Percent Change
In millions	2023			2022			Percent Change

Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of period		78			160			-51%

Cash and cash equivalents - end of period	$	226		$	207			9%

n/m - Percent change not meaningful.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 primarily due to a decrease of $598 million of proceeds from recoveries and reinsurance. Recoveries and reinsurance for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included proceeds from the GO and PBA settlement and sale of certain PREPA bankruptcy claims in 2022. This was partially offset by the decrease in losses and LAE paid of $269 million primarily due to the acceleration and commutation payments in connection with the GO and PBA settlement in 2022.

Investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 primarily due to an increase of $165 million in proceeds from the sale of fair value investments and a net increase of $55 million in cash provided by AFS investment activity in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 primarily due to a decrease of $102 million in principal paydowns of medium-term notes, long-term debt and VIE debt in 2023 when compared to the same period of 2022.

Consolidated Investments

The following discussion of investments, including references to consolidated investments, excludes investments reported under “Assets of consolidated variable interest entities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Investments of VIEs support the repayment of VIE obligations and are not available to settle obligations of MBIA. Fixed-maturity securities purchased by the Company are generally designated as AFS. Our AFS investments comprise high-quality fixed-income securities and short-term investments.

The credit quality distribution of the Company’s AFS fixed-maturity investment portfolios, excluding short-term investments, are based on ratings from Moody’s and alternate ratings sources, such as S&P or the best estimate of the ratings assigned by the Company, have been used for a small percentage of securities that are not rated by Moody’s. As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average credit quality rating of the Company’s AFS fixed-maturity investment portfolio, excluding short-term investments, was Aa and 95% of the investments were investment grade.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

The fair values of securities in the Company’s AFS fixed-maturity investment portfolio are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Decreases in interest rates generally result in increases in the fair values of fixed-maturity securities and increases in interest rates generally result in decreases in the fair values of fixed-maturity securities.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $190 million and $233 million of unrealized losses, respectively, net of deferred taxes related to its investment portfolio recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. The decrease in unrealized losses during 2023 resulted from tighter credit spreads and to a lesser extent, lower interest rates on longer dated securities.

Refer to “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and “Note 7: Investments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our accounting policies and investments.

Insured Investments

MBIA’s consolidated investment portfolio includes investments that are insured by various financial guarantee insurers (“Insured Investments”), including investments insured by National and MBIA Corp. (“Company-Insured Investments”). When purchasing Insured Investments, the Company’s third-party portfolio manager independently assesses the underlying credit quality, structure and liquidity of each investment, in addition to the creditworthiness of the insurer. Insured Investments are diverse by sector, issuer and size of holding. The third-party portfolio manager assigns underlying ratings to Insured Investments without giving effect to financial guarantees based on underlying ratings assigned by Moody’s, or S&P when a rating is not published by Moody’s. When a Moody’s or S&P underlying rating is not available, the underlying rating is based on the portfolio manager’s best estimate of the rating of such investment. If the Company determines that declines in the fair values of third-party Insured Investments are related to credit loss, the Company will establish an allowance for credit losses and recognize the credit component through earnings.

As of June 30, 2023, Insured Investments at fair value represented $161 million or 7% of consolidated investments, of which $153 million or 6% of consolidated investments were Company-Insured Investments. As of June 30, 2023, based on the actual or estimated underlying ratings of our consolidated investment portfolio, without giving effect to financial guarantees, the weighted average rating of only the Insured Investments in the investment portfolio would be in the below investment grade range. Without giving effect to the National and MBIA Corp. guarantees of the Company-Insured Investments in the consolidated investment portfolio, as of June 30, 2023, based on actual or estimated underlying ratings, the weighted average rating of the consolidated investment portfolio was in the Aa range. The weighted average rating of only the Company-Insured Investments was in the below investment grade range, and investments rated below investment grade in the Company-Insured Investments were 6% of the total consolidated investment portfolio.

National Liquidity

The primary sources of cash available to National are:

•

principal and interest receipts on assets held in its investment portfolio, including proceeds from the sale of assets;

•

recoveries associated with insurance loss payments; and

•

installment premiums.

The primary uses of cash by National are:

•

loss payments and LAE on insured transactions;

•

payments of dividends;

•

payments of operating expenses, taxes and investment portfolio asset purchases; and

•

funding share repurchases.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, National held cash and investments of $2.1 billion, of which $423 million and $230 million, respectively, were cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments comprised of highly rated commercial paper, money market funds and municipal, U.S. agency and corporate bonds.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

The insurance policies issued or reinsured by National provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of payments of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, insured obligations when due. In the event of a default in payment of principal, interest or other insured amounts by an issuer, National generally promises to make funds available in the insured amount within one to three business days following notification. In some cases, the amount due can be substantial, particularly if the default occurs on a transaction to which National has a large notional exposure or on a transaction structured with large, bullet-type principal maturities. The U.S. public finance insurance segment’s financial guarantee contracts generally cannot be accelerated by a party other than the insurer which helps to mitigate liquidity risk in this segment.

Corporate Liquidity

The primary sources of cash available to MBIA Inc. are:

•

dividends from National;

•

available cash and liquid assets not subject to collateral posting requirements;

•

principal and interest receipts on assets held in its investment portfolio, including proceeds from the sale of assets; and

•

access to capital markets.

The primary uses of cash by MBIA Inc. are:

•

servicing outstanding unsecured corporate debt obligations and MTNs;

•

meeting collateral posting requirements under investment agreements and derivative arrangements;

•

payments related to interest rate swaps;

•

payments of operating expenses; and

•

funding share repurchases and debt buybacks.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the liquidity positions of MBIA Inc. were $197 million and $230 million, respectively, and included cash and cash equivalents and other investments comprised of highly rated commercial paper and U.S. government and asset-backed bonds.

Based on our projections of National’s and MBIA Corp.’s future earnings and losses, we expect that for the foreseeable future National will be the primary source of payments to MBIA Inc. There can be no assurance as to the amount and timing of any future dividends from National. Also, absent a special dividend subject to the approval of the NYSDFS, we expect the declared and paid dividend amounts from National to be limited to the prior twelve months of adjusted net investment income as reported in its most recent statutory filings. Refer to the following “Liquidity and Capital Resources- Capital Resources” section for additional information on payments of dividends. We do not expect MBIA Inc. to receive dividends from MBIA Corp.

Currently, a significant portion of the cash and securities held by MBIA Inc. is pledged against investment agreement liabilities, the Asset Swap (simultaneous repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement) and derivatives, which limits its ability to raise liquidity through asset sales. As the market value or rating eligibility of the assets pledged against MBIA Inc.’s obligations declines, we are required to pledge additional eligible assets in order to meet minimum required collateral amounts against these liabilities. To mitigate these risks, we seek to maintain cash and liquidity resources that we believe will be sufficient to make all payments due on our obligations and to meet other financial requirements, such as posting collateral. Contingent liquidity resources include: (1) sales of invested assets exposed to credit spread stress risk, which may occur at losses; (2) termination and settlement of interest rate swap agreements; and (3) accessing the capital markets. These actions, if taken, are expected to result in either additional liquidity or reduced exposure to adverse credit spread movements. There can be no assurance that these actions will be sufficient to fully mitigate this risk.

MBIA Corp. Liquidity

The primary sources of cash available to MBIA Corp. are:

•

recoveries associated with insurance loss payments;

•

installment premiums and fees; and

•

principal and interest receipts on assets held in its investment portfolio, including the proceeds from the sale of assets.

The primary uses of cash by MBIA Corp. are:

•

loss and LAE or commutation payments on insured transactions; and

•

payments of operating expenses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, MBIA Corp. held cash and investments of $342 million and $386 million, respectively, of which $36 million and $41 million, respectively, were cash and cash equivalents or liquid investments comprised of money market funds and municipal, U.S. Treasury and corporate bonds that were immediately available to MBIA Insurance Corporation.

Insured transactions that require payment of scheduled debt service payments insured when due or payment in full of the principal insured at maturity could present liquidity risk for MBIA Corp., as any salvage recoveries from such payments could be recovered over an extended period of time after the payment is made. MBIA Corp. is generally required to satisfy claims within one to three business days, and as a result seeks to identify potential claims in advance through our monitoring process. In order to monitor liquidity risk and maintain appropriate liquidity resources, we use the same methodology as we use to monitor credit quality and losses within our insured portfolio, including stress scenarios.

Contractual Obligations

For a discussion of the Company’s contractual obligations, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Liquidity-Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no material changes in contractual obligations since December 31, 2022.

Capital Resources

The Company manages its capital resources to minimize its cost of capital while maintaining appropriate claims-paying resources (“CPR”) for National and MBIA Corp. The Company’s capital resources consist of total shareholders’ equity, total debt issued by MBIA Inc. for general corporate purposes and surplus notes issued by MBIA Corp. Total capital resources were $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

In addition to scheduled debt maturities, from time to time, we reduce unsecured debt through calls or repurchases. Also, MBIA Inc. may repurchase or National may purchase outstanding MBIA Inc. common shares when we deem it beneficial to our shareholders. Purchases or repurchases of debt and common stock may be made from time to time in the open market or in private transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. We may also choose to redeem debt obligations where permitted by the relevant agreements. MBIA Inc. or National may acquire or redeem outstanding common shares of MBIA Inc. and outstanding debt obligations at prices when we deem it beneficial to our shareholders. We seek to maintain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet the Company’s general corporate needs and debt service. Based on MBIA Inc.’s debt service requirements and expected operating expenses, we expect that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient resources to satisfy its debt obligations and its general corporate needs over time from distributions from National; however, there can be no assurance that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient resources to do so. In addition, the Company may also consider raising third-party capital. Refer to “Capital, Liquidity and Market Related Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity—Corporate Liquidity” section included herein for additional information about MBIA Inc.’s liquidity.

Equity securities

On May 3, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company and/or National to purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s shares in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or by any other legal means. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, National purchased 2.9 million shares at an average price per share of $8.06. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining authorization under this share repurchase program was $77 million. The Inflation Reduction Act, enacted in August 2022 imposes a 1% excise tax, net of any allowable offsets, on share repurchases occurring after December 31, 2022. The excise tax on share repurchases is reflected as an additional cost of the shares acquired and is recorded in “Treasury stock, at cost” with a corresponding liability recorded in “Other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the excise tax calculated was not material and is not included in the above amounts.

Debt securities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $11 million par value outstanding of GFL MTNs with maturity in 2024 issued by our corporate segment at a weighted average cost of approximately 92% of par value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $30 million par value outstanding of GFL MTNs with maturities in 2024 and 2025 issued by our corporate segment at a weighted average cost of approximately 84% of par value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, MBIA Corp. purchased $24 million principal amount of MBIA Inc. 6.625% Debentures due 2028, $4 million principal amount of MBIA Inc. 7.150% Debentures due 2027 and $0.6 million principal amount of MBIA Inc. 7.000% Debentures due 2025, at a weighted average cost of approximately 102% par value.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

Insurance Statutory Capital

National and MBIA Insurance Corporation are incorporated and licensed in, and are subject to primary insurance regulation and supervision by the NYSDFS. MBIA Mexico is regulated by the Comisión Nacional de Seguros y Fianzas in Mexico. MBIA Corp.’s Spanish Branch was subject to local regulation in Spain. In May of 2023, MBIA Corp.’s Spanish Branch was legally closed. National and MBIA Insurance Corporation each are required to file detailed annual financial statements, as well as interim financial statements, with the NYSDFS and similar supervisory agencies in each of the other jurisdictions in which it is licensed. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with New York State and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ statements of U.S. STAT and assist our regulators in evaluating minimum standards of solvency, including minimum capital requirements, and business conduct.

National – Statutory Capital and Surplus

National had statutory capital of $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, National’s unassigned surplus was $951 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, National had statutory net loss of $0.4 million. Refer to the “National—Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)” section below for additional information on National’s statutory capital.

In order to maintain its New York State financial guarantee insurance license, National is required to maintain a minimum of $65 million of policyholders’ surplus. National is also required to maintain contingency reserves to provide protection to policyholders in the event of extreme losses in adverse economic events. As of June 30, 2023, National was in compliance with its aggregate risk limits under New York Insurance Law (“NYIL”), but was not in compliance with certain of its single risk limits. Since National does not comply with certain of its single risk limits, the NYSDFS could prevent National from transacting any new financial guarantee insurance business.

NYIL regulates the payment of dividends by financial guarantee insurance companies and provides that such companies may not declare or distribute dividends except out of statutory earned surplus. Under NYIL, the sum of (i) the amount of dividends declared or distributed during the preceding 12-month period and (ii) the dividend to be declared may not exceed the lesser of (a) 10% of policyholders’ surplus, as reported in the latest statutory financial statements or (b) 100% of adjusted net investment income for such 12-month period (the net investment income for such 12-month period plus the excess, if any, of net investment income over dividends declared or distributed during the two-year period preceding such 12-month period), unless the Superintendent of the NYSDFS approves a greater dividend distribution based upon a finding that the insurer will retain sufficient surplus to support its obligations.

National had positive earned surplus as of June 30, 2023 from which it may pay dividends, subject to the limitations described above. We expect the as-of-right declared and paid dividend amounts from National to be limited to prior year adjusted net investment income for the foreseeable future.

National – Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)

CPR is a key measure of the resources available to National to pay claims under its 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. We have provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate National using the same measure that MBIA’s management uses to evaluate National’s resources to pay claims under its insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure. Our calculation of CPR may differ from the calculation of CPR reported by other companies.

MBIA Insurance Corporation – Statutory Capital and Surplus

MBIA Insurance Corporation had statutory capital of $148 million as of June 30, 2023 compared with $169 million as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, MBIA Insurance Corporation’s negative unassigned surplus was $1.9 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, MBIA Insurance Corporation had a statutory net loss of $20 million. Refer to the “MBIA Insurance Corporation—Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)” section below for additional information on MBIA Insurance Corporation’s statutory capital.

In order to maintain its New York State financial guarantee insurance license, MBIA Insurance Corporation is required to maintain a minimum of $65 million of policyholders’ surplus. As of June 30, 2023, MBIA Insurance Corporation was in compliance with its aggregate risk limits under the NYIL, but was not in compliance with certain of its single risk limits. Since MBIA Insurance Corporation does not comply with its single risk limits, the NYSDFS could prevent MBIA Insurance Corporation from transacting any new financial guarantee insurance business.

MBIA Insurance Corporation is also required to maintain contingency reserves to provide protection to policyholders in the event of extreme losses in adverse economic events. MBIA Corp. maintains a fixed $5 million of contingency reserves.

Due to its significant earned surplus deficit, MBIA Insurance Corporation has not had the statutory capacity to pay dividends since December 31, 2009. Based on estimated future income, MBIA Insurance Corporation is not expected to have any statutory capacity to pay dividends.

The NYSDFS has not approved MBIA Insurance Corporation’s requests to make interest payments on MBIA Insurance Corporation’s Surplus Notes due January 15, 2033 (the “Surplus Notes”) since, and including, the January 15, 2013 interest payment. The NYSDFS has cited both MBIA Insurance Corporation’s liquidity and financial condition as well as the availability of “free and divisible surplus” as the basis for such non-approvals. As of July 15, 2023, the most recent scheduled interest payment date, there was $1.3 billion of unpaid interest on the par amount outstanding of $953 million of the Surplus Notes. Under Section 1307 of the NYIL and the Fiscal Agency Agreement governing the surplus notes, Surplus Note payments may be made only with the prior approval by the NYSDFS and if MBIA Insurance Corporation has sufficient “Eligible Surplus”, or as we believe, “free and divisible surplus” as an appropriate calculation of “Eligible Surplus.” As of June 30, 2023, MBIA Insurance Corporation had “free and divisible surplus” of $126 million. There is no assurance the NYSDFS will approve Surplus Note payments, notwithstanding the sufficiency of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s liquidity and financial condition. The unpaid interest on the Surplus Notes will become due on the first business day on or after which MBIA Insurance Corporation obtains approval to pay some or all of such unpaid interest. No interest has been accrued or will accrue on the deferred interest.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

MBIA Insurance Corporation—Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)

CPR is a key measure of the resources available to MBIA Corp. to pay claims under its 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. We have provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate MBIA Corp., using the same measure that MBIA’s management uses to evaluate MBIA Corp.’s resources to pay claims under its insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure. Our calculation of CPR may differ from the calculation of CPR reported by other companies.

MBIA Corp.’s CPR and components thereto, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the following table:


	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
In millions	2023		2022
Policyholders’ surplus	$	143	$	164
Contingency reserves		5		5

Statutory capital		148		169
Unearned premiums		34		36
Present value of installment premiums⁽¹⁾		29		34

Premium resources⁽²⁾		63		70
Net loss and LAE reserves⁽¹⁾		94		35
Salvage reserves on paid claims^{(1) (3)}		256		395

Gross loss and LAE reserves		350		430

Total claims-paying resources	$	561	$	669

(1) -

Calculated using a discount rate of 5.53% as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(2) -

Includes financial guarantee and insured derivative related premiums.

(3) -

This amount primarily consists of expected recoveries related to the payment of claims on insured CDOs and RMBS. In addition, the amount includes salvage related to a permitted practice granted by NYSDFS.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Management has discussed and reviewed the development, selection, and disclosure of critical accounting estimates with the Company’s Audit Committee. Our most critical accounting estimates include loss and LAE reserves and valuation of financial instruments, since these estimates require significant judgment. Any modifications in these estimates could materially impact our financial results.

For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” and “Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a current description of estimates used in our insurance loss reserving process and information about our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value, including valuation techniques and significant inputs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Refer to “Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of accounting guidance recently adopted by the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s market risk exposures relate to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads that affect the fair value of its financial instruments, primarily investment securities, MTNs and investment agreement liabilities. The Company’s investments are primarily U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-income securities including municipal bonds, U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds, MBS and asset-backed securities. In periods of rising and/or volatile interest rates, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads, profitability could be adversely affected should the Company have to liquidate these securities. The Company minimizes its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and credit spread movement through active portfolio management to ensure a proper mix of the types of securities held and to stagger the maturities of its fixed-income securities. There were no material changes in market risk since December 31, 2022 related to interest rates, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads. For a discussion of our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk related to foreign exchange rates, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of the Company’s litigation and related matters, see “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries in Part I, Item 1. In the normal course of operating its businesses, MBIA Inc. may be involved in various legal proceedings. As a courtesy, the Company posts on its website under the section “Legal Proceedings,” selected information and documents in reference to selected legal proceedings in which the Company is the plaintiff or the defendant. The Company will not necessarily post all documents for each proceeding and undertakes no obligation to revise or update them to reflect changes in events or expectations. The complete official court docket can be publicly accessed by contacting the clerk’s office of the respective court where each litigation is pending.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following should be read in conjunction with and supplements the risk factors described under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Insured Portfolio Loss Related Risk Factors

Some of the state, local and territorial governments and finance authorities and other providers of public services, located in the U.S. or abroad, that issued public finance obligations we insured are experiencing fiscal stress that could result in increased credit losses or impairments on those obligations.

Certain issuers are reporting fiscal stress that has resulted in a significant increase in taxes and/or a reduction in spending or other measures in efforts to satisfy their financial obligations. In particular, certain jurisdictions have significantly underfunded pension liabilities which are placing additional stress on their finances and are particularly challenging to restructure either through negotiation or under Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. If the issuers of the obligations in our public finance portfolio are unable to raise taxes, or increase other revenues, cut spending, reduce liabilities, and/or receive state or federal assistance, we may experience losses or impairments on those obligations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The financial stress experienced by certain municipal issuers could result in the filing of Chapter 9 proceedings in states where municipal issuers are permitted to seek bankruptcy protection. In these proceedings, which remain rare, the resolution of bondholder claims (and by extension, those of bond insurers) may be subject to legal challenge by other creditors.

In particular, while the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has completed its court-ordered restructuring pursuant to the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”), the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) currently remains in a bankruptcy-like proceeding under PROMESA in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico.

As of June 30, 2023, National had $1.0 billion of debt service outstanding related to Puerto Rico. On January 1, 2023, PREPA defaulted on scheduled debt service for certain National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $18 million. In addition, on July 1, 2023, PREPA defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $119 million. On January 31, 2023, National and the Oversight Board entered into a Plan Support Agreement, resolving National’s claims in the PREPA Title III case (the “PREPA PSA”), and on February 9, 2023, the Oversight Board filed its Amended Plan of Adjustment for PREPA (the “Amended Plan”), including the PREPA PSA. On June 28, 2023, Judge Swain ordered that the Oversight Board file the Third Amended Plan of Adjustment for PREPA (“Third Amended Plan”) on July 14, 2023 and that the parties file a joint status report by July 19, 2023 with a proposed litigation schedule for confirmation proceedings. On July 13, 2023, Judge Swain signed an order moving the Third Amended Plan filing date to July 28, 2023 and the joint status report to August 2, 2023. The plan filing date was subsequently moved to August 4, 2023.

There is no assurance that the Amended Plan or a plan that is substantially similar in the treatment of National’s claims and rights will ultimately be confirmed and go effective.

Refer to the “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on our Puerto Rico exposures.
