MGIC INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 20212022
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
MGIC Investment Corporation is a holding company which, through Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (“MGIC”), is principally engaged in the mortgage insurance business. We provide mortgage insurance to lenders throughout the United States and to government sponsored entities to protect against loss from defaults on low down payment residential mortgage loans. MGIC Assurance Corporation (“MAC”) and MGIC Indemnity Corporation (“MIC”), insurance subsidiaries of MGIC, provide insurance for certain mortgages under Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”) credit risk transfer programs.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MGIC Investment Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting and do not include all of the other information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20202021 included in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As used below, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MGIC Investment Corporation’s consolidated operations or to MGIC Investment Corporation, as the context requires.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly state our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated. The consolidated results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022.
The substantial majority of our NIW has been for loans purchased by the GSEs. The current private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements ("PMIERs") of the GSEs include financial requirements, as well as business, quality control and certain transactional approval requirements. The financial requirements of the PMIERs require a mortgage insurer’s "Available Assets" (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) to equal or exceed its "Minimum Required Assets" (which are based on an insurer's book of risk in force, calculated from tables of factors with several risk dimensions). Based on our application of the PMIERs, as of June 30, 2021,2022, MGIC’s Available Assets are in excess of its Minimum Required Assets; and MGIC is in compliance with the PMIERs and eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs.

Targeted Improvements for Long Duration Contracts: ASU 2018-12
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting standards effective in 2021, or early adopted, and relevant to our financial statements are described below:
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: ASU 2019-12
Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted FASBStandards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which simplifies Accountingthe amortization of deferred insurance policy acquisition costs. It also provides updates to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for Income Taxes (Topic 740) by removing certain exceptionslong duration contracts, which generally do not apply to Topic 740.mortgage insurance. The updated guidance requires deferred acquisition costs to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts, versus in proportion to premium, gross profits, or gross margins. In November 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-11 deferring the effective date, so that it applies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods.We are currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this guidance did notwill have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Clarification of Accounting for Equity Securities: ASU 2020-01
Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-01, which clarifies certain interactions of accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, accounting for equity securities under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815. The amendment clarifies the consideration of observable transactions before applying or discounting the equity method of accounting. The adoption of this guidance didstatements, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.impact.
Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: ASU 2020-08
Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. FASB standard 2017-08 shortened the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring that an entity amortize the premium associated with those callable debt securities within the scope of paragraph 310-20-25-33 to the earliest call date and clarified the FASB’s intent that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security that has multiple call dates is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. This guidance clarified that the issuer of a callable debt security should use the next call date versus the earliest call date in amortizing premium. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity: ASU 2020-06
Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-06 using a modified retrospective basis. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. It also includes amendments to EPS guidance. The updated guidance reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and eliminated the cash conversion feature within ASU 470. As a result of
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 20212022 | 13
these changes, more convertible instruments will be reported as a single unit on the balance sheet. We previously accounted for our 9% Debentures under the cash conversion feature, which required us to account for the conversion features of our 9% Debentures within Paid-in Capital. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $68.3 million cumulative effect adjustment to our 2021 beginning Retained Earnings and Paid-in Capital to reflect the 9% Debentures as if we had always accounted for them as a liability in their entirety.
The updated guidance also includes updates to the EPS calculation. It requires an entity to use the if-converted method, assume share settlement when settlement can be in cash or in shares, use an average market price for the period if the number of shares is based on an entity’s share price, and use the weighted average shares from each quarter to calculate the year to date weighted average shares. The guidance also includes improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and EPS. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Reference Rate Reform: ASU 2020-04
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This standard may be elected and applied prospectively over time from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. The adoption of, and future elections under, this standard are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as the standard will ease, if warranted, the requirements for accounting for the future effects of reference rate reform. We continue to monitor the impact the discontinuance of LIBOR or other reference rates will have on our contracts and other transactions.

(1)Convertible at any time prior to maturity at the holder’s option, at a conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, of 75.593276.5496 shares per $1,000 principal amount, representing a conversion price of approximately $13.23$13.06 per share. The payment of dividends by our holding company results in adjustments to the conversion rate, with such adjustments generally deferred until the end of the year.
The 5.75% Senior Notes (“5.75% Notes”), 5.25% Senior Notes (5.25% Notes) and 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures (“9% Debentures”) are obligations of our holding company, MGIC Investment Corporation.
During the first half of 2022, we repurchased $74.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9% Debentures at a purchase price of $102.0 million plus accrued interest. The repurchase of 9% Debentures resulted in a $27.2 million loss on debt extinguishment on our consolidated statement of operations and a reduction of approximately 5.7 million shares in our potentially dilutive shares.
The Federal Home Loan Bank Advance (the “FHLB Advance”) iswas an obligation of MGIC. In the first quarter of 2022, we repaid the outstanding principal balance of the FHLB Advance at a prepayment price of $156.3 million, incurring a prepayment fee of $1.3 million.
In July, we redeemed the outstanding principal balance of the 5.75% Notes at a price of $248.4 million plus accrued interest. The redemption of the 5.75% Notes resulted in a $6.8 million loss on debt extinguishment, which will be recorded in the third quarter of 2022.
See Note 7 - “Debt” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 for additional information pertaining to our debt obligations. As of June 30, 20212022 we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
Interest payments
Interest payments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $29.2 million and 2020 were $35.2 million, and $31.3 million, respectively.

(1)Ceded premiums earned net of profit commissioncommission.
Quota share reinsurance
We have entered into quota share reinsurance ("QSR") transactions with panels of third-party reinsurers to cede a fixed quota share percentage of premiums earned and received and losses incurred on insurance covered by the transactions. We receive the benefit of a ceding commission equal to 20% of premiums ceded before profit commission. We also receive the benefit of a profit commission through a reduction of premiums we cede. The profit commission varies inversely with the level of losses on a “dollar for dollar” basis and can be eliminated at annual loss ratios higher than we have experienced on our QSR Transactions.
Each of our QSR Transactions typically have annual loss ratio caps of 300% and lifetime loss ratios of 200%.

(1)Ceding commissions are reported within Other underwriting and operating expenses, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Ceded losses incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily reflects favorable loss reserve development. See Note 11 - “Loss Reserves” for discussion of our loss reserves. Under the terms of our QSR Transactions, currently in effect, ceded premiums earned, ceding commissions, profit commission, and ceded paid loss and LAE are settled net on a quarterly basis. The ceded premiums earned due after deducting the related ceding commission and profit commission is reported within Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
The reinsurance recoverable on loss reserves related to our QSR Transactions was $111.2$54.0 million as of June 30, 20212022 and $95.0$66.9 million as of December 31, 2020.2021. The reinsurance recoverable balance is secured by funds on deposit from the reinsurers, the minimum amount of which is based on the greater of 1) a reinsurer’sreinsurer's funding requirements under PMIERs or 2) ceded reserves. An allowance for credit losses was not required at June 30, 2021.reserves and unpaid losses. Each of the reinsurers under our quota share reinsurance agreements described above has an insurer financial strength rating of A- or better (or a comparable rating) by Standard and Poor's Rating Services, A.M. Best, Moody's, or a combination of the three.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 16
Excess of loss reinsurance
We have entered into an excess of loss reinsurance transaction, in the traditional reinsurance market with a panel of third-party reinsurers (the “XOL Transaction”) to provide up to $175 million of reinsurance coverage on eligible NIW in 2022. The XOL Transaction has a contractual termination date after approximately ten years, with an optional termination date after seven years and quarterly thereafter. For the covered policies, we retain the first layer of the aggregate losses paid, and the reinsurers will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. We retain losses paid in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. The reinsurance coverage is subject to adjustment based on the risk characteristics of the covered loans. The reinsurance premiums ceded to the XOL Transaction are based off the remaining reinsurance coverage levels.
We also have aggregate excess of loss reinsurance transactions (“Home Re Transactions”) with unaffiliated special purpose insurers domiciled in Bermuda (“Home Re Entities”). For the reinsurance coverage periods, we retain the first layer of the respective aggregate losses paid, and a Home Re Entity will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. We retain losses paid in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. Subject to certain conditions, the reinsurance coverage decreases over a period of either 10 or 12.5 years, depending on the transaction, as the underlying covered mortgages amortize or are repaid, or mortgage insurance losses are paid. MGIC has rights to terminate the Home Re Transactions under certain circumstances.
The Home Re Entities financed the coverages by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes (“ILNs”) to unaffiliated investors in an aggregate amount equal to the initial reinsurance coverage amounts. The Home Re 2018-1, Home Re 2019-1, and Home Re 2020-1 ILNs each have ten-year legal maturities and the Home Re 2021-1 ILN has a twelve and a half year legal maturity, and eachEach ILN is non-recourse to any assets of MGIC or affiliates. The proceeds of the ILNs, which were deposited into reinsurance trusts for the benefit of MGIC, will be the source of reinsurance claim payments to MGIC and principal repayments on the ILNs.
When a “Trigger Event” is in effect, payment of principal on the related notes will be suspended and the reinsurance coverage available to MGIC under the transactions will not be reduced by such principal payments. As of June 30, 20212022 a "Trigger Event" has occurred on our Home Re 2018-1 and Home Re 2019-1 ILN transactionstransaction because the reinsured principal balance of loans that were reported 60 or more days delinquent exceeded 4%a percentage of the total reinsured principal balance of loans specified under each transaction. A “Trigger Event”"Trigger Event" has also occurred on the Home Re 2021-12022-1 ILN transactiontransactions because the credit enhancement of the most senior tranche is less than the target credit enhancement.

In August 2021, MGIC entered into a $398.4 million Home Re Transaction that covers policies with inforce dates from January 1, 2021 through May 28, 2021.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 17
The reinsurance premiums ceded to each Home Re Entity are composed of coverage, initial expense and supplemental premiums. The coverage premiums are generally calculated as the difference between the amount of interest payable by the Home Re Entity on the remaining reinsurance coverage levels, and the investment income collected on the collateral assets held in a reinsurance trust account and used to collateralize the Home Re Entity’s reinsurance obligation to MGIC. The amount of monthly reinsurance coverage premium ceded on the Home Re Transactions will fluctuate due to changes in the reference rate and changes in money market rates that affect investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trust. The Home Re Transaction closing in August 2021 references2021-2 and Home Re 2022-1 Transactions reference SOFR, while the remaining Home Re Transactions reference the one-month LIBOR. As a result, we concluded that each Home Re transactionTransaction contains an embedded derivative that is accounted for separately as a freestanding derivative. The fair values of the derivatives at June 30, 2021,2022, were not material to our consolidated balance sheet and the changechanges in fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was2022 were not material to our consolidated statements of operations. (See Note 8 - “Fair Value Measurements”). Total ceded premiums under the Home Re Transactions were $18.2 million and $30.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $10.0 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and $4.4 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.2021.
At the time the Home Re Transactions were entered into, we concluded that each Home Re Entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make sufficient decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in gains and losses of the entity. Given that MGIC (1) does not have the unilateral
power to direct the activities that most significantly affect each Home Re Entity’s economic performance and (2) does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of each Home Re Entity that potentially could be significant to the Home Re Entity, consolidation of the Home Re Entities is not required.
We are required to disclose our maximum exposure to loss, which we consider to be an amount that we could be required to record in our statements of operations, as a result of our involvement with the VIEs under our Home Re Transactions. As of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, we did not have material exposure to the VIEs as we have no investment in the VIEs and had no reinsurance claim payments due from the VIEs under our reinsurance transactions. We are unable to determine the timing or extent of claims from losses that are ceded under the reinsurance transactions. The VIE assets are deposited in reinsurance trusts for the benefit of MGIC that will be the source of reinsurance claim payments to MGIC. The purpose of the reinsurance trusts is to provide security to MGIC for the obligations of the VIEs under the reinsurance transactions. The trustee of the reinsurance trusts, a recognized provider of corporate trust services, has established segregated accounts within the reinsurance trusts for the benefit of MGIC, pursuant to the trust agreements. The trust agreements are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. If the trustee of the reinsurance trusts failed to distribute claim payments to us as provided in the reinsurance trusts, we would incur a loss related to our losses ceded under the Home Re Transactionsreinsurance transactions and deemed unrecoverable. We are also unable to determine the impact such possible failure by the trustee to
perform pursuant to the reinsurance trust agreements may have on our consolidated financial statements. As a result, we are unable to quantify our maximum exposure to loss related to our involvement with the VIEs. MGIC has certain termination rights under the reinsurance transactions should its claims not be paid. We
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 18
consider our exposure to loss from our reinsurance transactions with the VIEs to be remote.

The reinsurance trust agreements provide that the trust assets may generally only be invested in certain money market funds that (i) invest at least 99.5% of their total assets in cash or direct U.S. federal government obligations, such as U.S. Treasury bills, as well as other short-term securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. federal government or issued by an agency of the U.S. federal government, (ii) have a principal stability fund rating of “AAAm” by S&P or a money market fund rating of “Aaa-mf”“Aaamf” by Moody’s as of the Closing Date and thereafter maintain any rating with either S&P or Moody’s, and (iii) are permitted investments under the applicable credit for reinsurance laws and applicable PMIERs credit for reinsurance requirements.
The total calculated PMIERs credit for risk ceded under our Home Re Transactionsexcess of loss transactions is generally based on the PMIERs requirement of the covered policies and the attachment and detachment points of the coverage, and is subject to a modest reduction under the PMIERs financial requirementsall of which fluctuate over time. (see Note 1 - “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation”).

Note 5. Litigation and Contingencies
Before paying an insurance claim, generally we review the loan and servicing files to determine the appropriateness of the claim amount. When reviewing the files, we may determine that we have the right to rescind coverage or deny a claim on the loan (both referred to herein as “rescissions”). In addition, our insurance policies generally provide that we can reduce a claim if the servicer did not comply with its obligations under our insurance policy (such reduction referred to as a “curtailment”). In recent quarters,years, an immaterial percentage of claims received in a quarter have been resolved by rescissions. In 2020 and the first half of 2022 and in 2021, curtailments reduced our average claim paid by approximately 3.6%5.3% and 4.1%4.4%, respectively. The COVID-19 related foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans have decreased our claims paid activity beginning in the second quarter of 2020. It is difficult to predict the level of curtailments once the foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans end.activity returns to a more typical level. Our loss
reserving methodology incorporates our estimates of future rescissions, curtailments, and reversals of rescissions and curtailments. A variance between ultimate actual rescission, curtailment and reversal rates and our estimates, as a result of the outcome of litigation, settlements or other factors, could materially affect our losses.
When the insured disputes our right to rescind coverage or curtail claims, we generally engage in discussions in an attempt to settle the dispute. If we are unable to reach a settlement, the outcome of a dispute ultimately may be determined by legal proceedings. Under ASC 450-20, until a loss associated with settlement discussions or legal proceedings becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated, we consider our claim payment or rescission resolved for financial reporting purposes and do not accrue an estimated loss. When we determine that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record our best estimate of our probable loss, including recording a probable loss of $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The probable loss is reported within Loss Reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and within Losses Incurred, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations..loss. In those cases, until settlement negotiations or legal proceedings are concluded (including the receipt of any necessary GSE approvals), it is possible that we will record an additional loss.
We are currently involved in discussions and/or proceedings with respectmonitoring litigation that involves refunds of mortgage insurance premiums under the Homeowners Protection Act. In one case, we expect to our claims paying practices. Although it is possible that, if not resolved by negotiation, we will not prevail on all matters, webe named as a third-party defendant. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate or range of estimates ofassess the potential liability. We estimate the maximum exposure where a loss is reasonably possible to be approximately $28 million more than the amountimpact of the probable loss we have recorded. This estimate of maximum exposure is based upon currently available information; is subject to significant judgment, numerous assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties; will include an amount for matters for which we have recorded a probable loss untilany such matters are concluded; will include different matterslitigation at this time. In addition, from time to time; and does not include interest or consequential or exemplary damages.
In addition to the matters described above,time, we are involved in other disputes and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, based on the facts known at this time, the ultimate resolution of these ordinary course disputes and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 6. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of calculating basic EPS, vested restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are considered outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the components of basic EPS and also gives effect to dilutive common stock equivalents. The determination of whether components are dilutive is calculated independently for each period. We calculate diluted EPS using the treasury stock method and if-converted method. Under the treasury stock method, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if unvested RSUs result in the issuance of common stock. Under the if-converted method, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if our 9% Debentures result in the issuance of common stock. The determination of potentially issuable shares does not consider the satisfaction of the conversion requirements and the shares are included in the determination of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period, if dilutive. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020 common stock equivalents of 19.1 million were not included because they were antidilutive.
Table 6.1 reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted EPS.

Based on current facts and circumstances, we believe the unrealized losses as of June 30, 20212022 presented in table 7.4a7.5a above are not indicative of the ultimate collectability of the current amortized cost of the securities. The unrealized losses in all categories of our investments at June 30, 20212022 were primarily caused by changesan increase in prevailing interest rates between the time of purchase and the respective fair value measurement date.rates. We also rely upon estimates of several credit and non-credit factors in our review and evaluation of individual investments to determine whether a credit impairment exists. All of the securities in an unrealized loss position are current with respect to their interest obligations.
There were 3361,164 and 109610 securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
We report accrued investment income separately from fixed income, available-for-sale, securities and we have determined an allowance for credit losses for accrued investment income is not required. Accrued investment income is written off through net realized investment gains (losses) if, and at the time, the issuer of the security defaults or is expected to default on payments.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
Recurring fair value measurements
The following describes the valuation methodologies generally used by the independent pricing sources, or by us, to measure financial instruments at fair value, including the general classification of such financial instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
•Fixed income securities:
U.S. Treasury Securities and Obligations of U.S. Government Corporations and Agencies: Securities with valuations derived from quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that we can access are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Securities valued by surveying the dealer community, obtaining relevant trade data, benchmark quotes and spreads and incorporating this information in the valuation process are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Corporate Debt Bonds are valued by surveying the dealer community, obtaining relevant trade data, benchmark quotes and spreads and incorporating this information into the valuation process. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Obligations of U.S. States & Political Subdivisions are valued by tracking, capturing, and analyzing quotes for active issues and trades reported via the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board records. Daily briefings and reviews of current economic conditions, trading levels, spread relationships, and the slope of the yield curve provide further data for evaluation. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS") are valued by monitoring interest rate movements, and other pertinent data daily. Incoming market data is enriched to derive spread, yield and/or price data as appropriate, enabling known data points to be extrapolated for valuation application across a range of related securities. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS") are valued using techniques that reflect market participants’ assumptions and maximize the use of relevant observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets, benchmark yield curves and market corroborated inputs. Evaluation uses regular reviews of the inputs for securities covered, including executed trades, broker quotes, credit information, collateral attributes and/or cash flow waterfall as applicable. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Asset-Backed Securities ("ABS") are valued using spreads and other information solicited from market buy-and-sell-side sources, including primary and secondary dealers, portfolio managers, and research analysts. Cash flows are generated for each tranche, benchmark yields are determined, and deal collateral performance and tranche level attributes including trade activity, bids, and offers are applied, resulting in tranche specific prices. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") are valued by evaluating manager rating, seniority in the capital structure, assumptions about prepayment, default and recovery and their impact on cash flow generation. Loan level net asset values are determined and aggregated for tranches and as a final step prices are checked against available recent trade activity. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign government debt is valued by surveying the dealer community, obtaining relevant trade data, benchmark quotes and spreads and incorporating this information into the valuation process. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Commercial Paper, which has an original maturity greater than 90 days, is valued using market data for comparable instruments of similar maturity and average yields. These securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Equity securities: Consist of actively traded, exchange-listed equity securities, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and Bond Mutual Funds, with valuations derived from quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that we can access. These securities are valued in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Cash Equivalents: Consists of money market funds and treasury bills with valuations derived from quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that we can access. These securities are valued in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Instruments in this category valued using market data for comparable instruments are classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
•Real estate acquired is valued at the lower of our acquisition cost or a percentage of the appraised value. The percentage applied to the appraised value is based upon our historical sales experience adjusted for current trends. These securities are categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, are excluded from these fair value disclosure requirements. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents (Level 1) and accrued investment income (Level 2) approximated their fair values. Additional fair value disclosures related to our investment portfolio are included in Note 7 – “Investments.”
In addition to the assets carried at fair value discussed above, we have embedded derivatives carried at fair value related to our Home Re Transactions that are classified as Other liabilities or Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are reported within Net gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The estimated fair value related to our embedded derivatives reflects the present value impact of the variation in investment income on the assets held by the reinsurance trusts and the contractual reference rate on the Home Re Transactions used to calculate the reinsurance premiums we will pay. These liabilities or assets are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2022 and December 30, 2021, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was a liability of $5.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively. (See Note 4 - "Reinsurance" for more information about our reinsurance programs.)

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value
Other invested assets include an investment in FHLB stock that is carried at cost, which due to restrictions that require it to be redeemed or sold only to the security issuer at par value, approximates fair value. The fair value of other invested assets is categorized as Level 2.
Financial liabilities include our outstanding debt obligations. The fair values of our 5.75% and 5.25% Notes and 9% Debentures were based on observable market prices. The fair value of the FHLB Advance was estimated using cash flows discounted at current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements. In all cases the fair values of the financial liabilities below are categorized as Level 2.

Note 11. Loss Reserves
We establish case reserves and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”)LAE reserves on delinquent loans that were reported to us as two or more payments past due and have not become current or resulted in a claim payment. Such loans are referred to as being in our delinquency inventory. Case reserves are established by estimating the number of loans in our delinquency inventory that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity.
IBNR reserves are established for estimated losses from delinquencies we estimate have occurred prior to the close of an accounting period, but have not yet been reported to us. IBNR reserves are also established using estimated claim rates and claim severities.
Estimation of losses is inherently judgmental. The conditions that affect the claim rate and claim severity include the current and future state of the domestic economy, including unemployment and the current and future strength of local housing markets; exposure on insured loans; the amount of time between delinquency and claim filing;filing (all else being equal, the longer the period between delinquency and claim filing, the greater the severity); and curtailments and rescissions. The actual amount of the claim payments may be substantially different than our loss reserve estimates. Our estimates could be adversely affected by several factors, including a deterioration of regional or national economic conditions, including unemployment and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a reduction in borrowers’ income and thus their ability to make mortgage payments, the impact of past and future government initiatives and actions taken by the GSEs (including mortgage forbearance programs and foreclosure moratoriums), and a drop in housing values which may affect borrower willingness to continue to make mortgage payments when the value of the home is below the mortgage balance. Loss reserves in future periods will also be dependent on the number of loans reported to us as delinquent.
Changes to our estimates could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position, even in a stable economic environment. It is reasonably possible that givenGiven the uncertainty surrounding the long-term impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the impactsultimate effect of the COVID-19 pandemic,related delinquencies and forbearances on our reserve estimate may continue to be impacted.loss incidence.
In considering the potential sensitivity of the factors underlying our estimate of loss reserves, it is possible that even a relatively small change in our estimated claim rate or claim severity could have a material impact on loss reserves and, correspondingly, on our consolidated results of operations even in a stable economic environment. For example, as of June 30, 2021,2022, assuming all other factors remain constant, a $1,000 increase/decrease in the average severity reserve factor would change the loss reserve amount by approximately +/- $17$13 million. A one percentage point increase/decrease in the average claim rate reserve factor would change the loss reserve amount by approximately +/- $25$16 million.
The “Losses incurred” section of table 11.1 below shows losses incurred on delinquencies that occurred in the current
year and in prior years. The amount of losses incurred relating to delinquencies that occurred in the current year represents the
estimated amount to be ultimately paid on such delinquencies. The amount of losses incurred relating to delinquencies that occurred in prior years represents the difference between the actual claim rate and claim severity associated with those delinquencies resolved in the current year compared to the estimated claim rate and claim severity at the prior year-end, as well as a re-estimation of amounts to be ultimately paid on delinquencies continuing from the end of the prior year. This re-estimation of the claim rate and claim severity is the result of our review of current trends in the delinquency inventory, such as percentages of delinquencies that have resulted in a claim, the amount of the claims relative to the average loan exposure, changes in the relative level of delinquencies by geography and changes in average loan exposure.
Losses incurred on delinquencies that occurred in the current year decreasedwere flat in the first six monthshalf of 20212022 compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in new delinquency notices. In addition, we decreased IBNR reserve estimates by $5.9 million in the first six months of 2021, compared to a $38.9 million increase in the first six months of 2020. New delinquency notices and IBNR estimates increased inyear.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 due2022 we experienced favorable loss development of $186.6 million on previously received notices primarily related to a decrease in the impact ofestimated claim rate. The favorable development resulted from greater than expected cures on delinquency notices received during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as delinquency notices received prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the uncertainty surrounding the long-term impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effect of the COVID-19 related delinquencies and forbearances on our loss incidence.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 we experienced adverse loss development of $1.7 million on previously received notices primarily due to the recognition of a probable loss of $6.3 million related to litigation of our claims paying practices, offset by favorable development on pool reserves, LAE reserves and reinsurance. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 we experienced adverse loss development of $12.8 million on previously received delinquencies primarily related to severity.million.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 29
The “Losses paid” section of table 11.1 below shows the amount of losses paid on delinquencies that occurred in the current year and losses paid on delinquencies that occurred in prior years. For several years, the average time it took to receive a claim associated with a delinquency had increased significantly from our historical experience of approximately twelve months. This was, in part, due to new loss mitigation protocols established by servicers and to changes in some state foreclosure laws that may include, for example, a requirement for additional review and/or mediation processes. Prior to 2020, we had experienced a decline in the average time it takes servicers to process foreclosures, which has reduced the average time to receive a claim associated with new delinquency notices that do not cure. All else being equal, the longer the period between delinquency and claim filing, the greater the severity.
In light of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans, we expect the average time it takes to receive a claim will increase.

Premium refunds
Our estimate of premiums to be refunded on expected claim payments is accrued for separately in “Other Liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and approximated $32.6 million and $30.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.has increased.

Delinquency inventory
A rollforward of our primary delinquency inventory for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 appears in table 11.3 below. The information concerning new notices and cures is compiled from monthly reports received from loan servicers. The level of new notice and cure activity reported in a particular month can be influenced by, among other things, the date on which a servicer generates its report, the number of business days in a month and transfers of servicing between loan servicers.

COVID-19 ActivityPandemic Delinquencies
Our delinquency inventorynotices increased beginning in the second quarter of 2020 because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the high level of unemployment and economic uncertainty resulting from measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Starting in the third quarter of 2020, we experienced an increase in cures associated with our COVID-19 new delinquency notices. Government initiatives and actions taken
Forbearance programs enacted by the GSEs provide for payment forbearance on mortgages to borrowers experiencing a hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. TheseHistorically, forbearance plans generally allow for mortgage payments to be suspended for up to 18 months: an initial forbearance period of up to six months; if requested by the borrower, an extension of up to six months; and, for loans in a COVID-19 forbearance plan as of February 28, 2021, an additional extension up to six months, subject to certain limits.

The increasePremium refunds
Our estimate of premiums to be refunded on expected claim payments is accrued for separately in delinquency inventory that is 12 months or more consecutive months delinquent compared to“Other Liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and approximated $32.8 million and $37.3 million at June 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2020 is primarily due to the number of new delinquency notices received in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by an increase in cures in the second half of 2020 and in the first half of 2021.
Claims paying practices
Our loss reserving methodology incorporates our estimates of future rescissions. A variance between ultimate actual rescission rates and our estimates, as a result of the outcome of litigation, settlements or other factors, could materially affect our losses. For information about discussions and legal proceedings with customers with respect to our claims paying practices see Note 5 – “Litigation and Contingencies.”

Note 14. Statutory Information
Statutory Capital Requirements
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, our domiciliary state, require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to the RIF (or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. We refer to these requirements as the “State Capital Requirements” and, together with the GSE Financial Requirements, as the “Financial Requirements.” While they vary among jurisdictions, the most common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1. A risk-to-capital ratio will increase if (i) the percentage decrease in capital exceeds the percentage decrease in insured risk, or (ii) the percentage increase in capital is less than the percentage increase in insured risk. Wisconsin does not regulate capital by using a risk-to-capital measure but instead requires a minimum policyholder position (“MPP”). TheMGIC’s “policyholder position” of a mortgage insurer isincludes its net worth or surplus, and its contingency reserve and a portion of the reserves for unearned premiums.loss reserve.
At June 30, 2021,2022, MGIC’s risk-to-capital ratio was 8.99.7 to 1, below the maximum allowed by the jurisdictions with State Capital Requirements, and its policyholder position was $3.5 billion above the required MPP of $1.7$1.9 billion. The calculation of our risk-to-capital ratio and MPP reflect credit for the risk ceded under our reinsurance transactions. It is possible that MGIC will not be allowed full credit for the risk ceded to the reinsurers. If MGIC is not allowed an agreed level of credit under either the State Capital Requirements or the financial requirements of the PMIERs, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions,agreements, without penalty.
At June 30, 2021, the risk-to-capital ratio of our combined insurance operations was 8.9 to 1.
Dividend restrictions
In the six months ended June 30, 2022, MGIC did not pay cash and/or investment security dividendspaid a $400 million dividend to our holding company during the first six months of 2021 due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2021, MGIC paid a dividend of $150 million to our holding company.
MGIC is subject to statutory regulations as to payment of dividends. The maximum amount of dividends that MGIC may pay in any twelve-month period without regulatory approval by the OCI is the lesser of adjusted statutory net income or 10% of statutory ‘policyholders’ surplus as of the preceding calendar year end. Adjusted statutory net income is defined for this purpose to be the greater of statutory net income, net of realized investment gains, for the calendar year preceding the date of the dividend or statutory net income, net of realized investment gains, for the three calendar years preceding the date of the dividend less dividends paid within the first two of the preceding three calendar years. The maximum dividend that could be paid is reduced by dividends paid in the twelve months preceding the dividend payment date. Before making any dividend payments, we will notify the OCI to ensure it does not object.
Under the PMIERs guidance, any dividend paid by MGIC to our holding company, through September 30, 2021, requires GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 50% of its Minimum Required Assets; and from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 such dividends require GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 15% of its Minimum Required Assets. GSE approval was not required for the August 2021 dividend.
The OCI recognizes only statutory accounting principles prescribed, or practices permitted by the State of Wisconsin for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company. The OCI has adopted certain prescribed accounting practices that differ from those found in other states. Specifically, Wisconsin domiciled companies record changes in theirthe contingency loss reserves through their income statement as a change in underwriting deduction. As a result, in periods in which MGIC is increasing contingency loss reserves, statutory net income is reduced.

MGIC dividend payments to our holding company
The ability of MGIC to pay dividends is restricted by insurance regulation. Amounts in excess of prescribed limits are deemed “extraordinary” and may not be paid if disapproved by the OCI. A dividend is extraordinary when the proposed dividend amount, plus dividends paid in the twelve months preceding the dividend payment date exceed the ordinary dividend level. In 2022, MGIC can pay $122 million of ordinary dividends without OCI approval, before taking into consideration dividends paid in the preceding twelve months. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, MGIC paid $400 million in dividends in cash and investments to the holding company. We did not pay a cash and/or investment securitymake dividend payments to our holding company induring the first half of 2021 compared to a $390 million dividend in the first quarter of 2020. In August 2021, MGIC paid a dividend of $150 million to our holding company.six months ended June 30, 2021. Future dividend payments from MGIC to the holding company will continue to be determined in consultation with the board, and after considering any updated estimates about the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. We ask the Wisconsin OCI not to object before MGIC pays dividends to the holding company.
Under the PMIERS guidance, any dividend paid by MGIC to our holding company, through September 30, 2021, requires GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 50% of its Minimum Required Assets; and from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 such dividends require GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 15% of its Minimum Required Assets. GSE approval was not required for the August 2021 dividend.
board.Share repurchase programs
We did not repurchase any shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the repurchase of 9.6 million shares of commons stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021 we had remaining authorization to repurchase $291 millionRepurchases of our common stock through the end of 2021 under a share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in January 2020. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market, including through 10b5-1 plans, or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase programs may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. Due toIn the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,first half of 2022, we had temporarily suspended stock repurchases, but intend to resume them in the third quarter. As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately 339repurchased 15.7 million shares of common stock, using approximately $222 million of holding company resources. As of June 30, 2022 we had $278 million of authorization remaining to repurchase our common stock through the end of 2023 under a share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in October 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately 305 million shares of common stock outstanding. We did not repurchase shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Dividends to shareholders
In March and May 2021,2022, we paid a dividendquarterly dividends of $0.06$0.08 per common share totaling $20.5 million to our shareholders.shareholders which totaled $51 million for the year. On July 29, 2021,28, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08$0.10 per common share to shareholders of record on August 12, 2021,25, 2022, payable on August 26, 2021.11, 2022.
GSEs
We must comply with a GSE’s PMIERS to be eligible to insure loans delivered to or purchased by that GSE. The PMIERs include financial requirements, as well as business, quality control and certain transactional approval requirements. The financial requirements of the PMIERs require a mortgage insurer’s "Available Assets" (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) to equal or exceed its "Minimum Required Assets" (which are based on an insurer's book of risk in force, calculated from tables of factors with several risk dimensions, reduced for credit given for risk ceded under reinsurance transactions, and subject to a floor amount). Based on our application of the more restrictive PMIERs as of June 30, 2021,2022, MGIC’s Available Assets totaled $5.7$5.8 billion, or $2.3$2.6 billion in excess of its Minimum Required Assets.
The PMIERs generally require us to hold significantly more Minimum Required Assets for delinquent loans than for performing loans and the Minimum Required Assets required to be held increases as the number of payments missed on a delinquent loan increases. For delinquent loans whose initial missed payment occurred on or after March 1, 2020 and prior to April 1, 2021 (the "COVID-19 Crisis Period"), the Minimum Required Assets are generally reduced by 70% for at least three months. The 70% reduction will continue, or be newly applied, for delinquent loans that are subject to a forbearance plan that is granted in response to a financial hardship related to COVID-19, the terms of which are materially consistent with terms of forbearance plans offered by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. Loans considered to be subject to a forbearance plan include those that are in a repayment plan or loan modification trial period following the forbearance plan.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 36
Forbearance for federally-insured mortgages allows for mortgage payments to be suspended for up to 18 month: an initial forbearance period of up to six months; if requested by the borrower following contact by the servicers, an extension of up to six months; and, for loans in a COVID-19 forbearance plan as of February 28, 2021, an additional six months, subject to certain limits. The servicer of the loan must begin attempts to contact the borrower no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any forbearance plan term and must continue outreach attempts until appropriate contact is made or the forbearance plan term has expired.
If a servicer of a loan is unable to contact the borrower prior to the expiration of the first 180-day forbearance plan term, or if the forbearance plan reaches its twelve-month anniversary and is not further extended, the forbearance plan will generally expire. In such case, if the loan remains delinquent, the 70% reduction in Minimum Required Assets for that loan will no longer be applicable, our Minimum Required Assets will increase and our excess of Available Assets over Minimum Required Assets will decrease.
If MGIC ceases to be eligible to insure loans purchased by one or both of the GSEs, it would significantly reduce the volume of our NIW, the substantial majority of which is for loans delivered to or purchased by the GSEs. In addition to the increase in Minimum Required Assets associated with delinquent loans, factors that may negatively impact MGIC’s ability to continue to comply with the financial requirements of the PMIERs include the following:
| | | | | |
è
| The GSEs may make the PMIERs more onerous in the future. The PMIERs provide that the factors that determine Minimum Required Assets will be updated periodically, or as needed if there is a significant change in macroeconomic conditions or loan performance. We do not anticipate that the regular periodic updates will occur more frequently than once every two years. The PMIERs state that the GSEs will provide notice 180 days prior to the effective date of updates to the factors; however, the GSEs may amend any portion of the PMIERs at any time, including by imposing restrictions specific to our company.time. |
è
| ThereThe PMIERS may be future implications for PMIERs as a result of changeschanged in response to regulatory capital requirements for the GSEs. In November 2020, the FHFA adopted a rule containing a risk-basedfinal regulatory capital framework for the GSEs that will increase their capital requirements, including through a decreasewhich was established in credit received for credit risk transfer “CRT” transactions, effective on the later of (i) the date of termination of the FHFA’s conservatorship of the applicable GSE; (ii) sixty days after publication of the adopted rule in the Federal Register; or (iii) any later compliance date provided in a consent order or other transition order applicable to a GSE. The increase in capital requirements may ultimately result in an increase in the Minimum Required Assets required to be held by mortgage insurers, including through a decrease in credit received for mortgage insurers’ reinsurance transactions.February 2022. |
| è | Our future operating results may be negatively impacted by the matters discussed in our risk factors.Risk Factors. Such matters could decrease our revenues, increase our losses or require the use of assets, thereby creating a shortfall in Available Assets. |
| è | Should capital be needed by MGIC in the future, capital contributions from our holding company may not be available due to competing demands on holding company resources, including for repayment of debt. |
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 36
Our reinsurance transactions enable us to earn higher returns on our business than we would without them because they reduce the Minimum Required Assets we must hold under PMIERs. However, reinsurance may not always be available to us,us; or available on similar terms, and our quota share reinsurance subjects us to counterparty credit risk. The calculated credit for excess of loss reinsurance transactions under PMIERs is generally based on the PMIERs requirement of the covered loans and the attachment and detachment point of the coverage. PMIERs credit is generally not given for the reinsured risk above the PMIERs requirement. The total credit under the PMIERS for risk ceded under our reinsurance transactions is subject to a modest reduction. Our existing reinsurance transactions are subject to periodic review by the GSEs and there is a risk we will not receive our current level of credit in future periods for the risk ceded under them. In addition, we may not receive the same level of credit under future transactions that we receive under existing transactions. If MGIC is not allowed certain levels of credit under the PMIERs, under certain circumstances, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions without penalties.
GSE reform
The FHFA has been the conservator of the GSEs since 2008 and has the authority to control and direct their operations. The increased role that the federal government has assumed in the residential housing finance system through the GSE conservatorship may increase the likelihood that the business practices of the GSEs change, including through administrative action, in ways that have a material adverse effect on us and that the charters of the GSEs are changed by new federal legislation.
It is uncertain what role the GSEs, FHA and private capital, including private mortgage insurance, will play in the residential housing finance system in the future. The timing and impact on our business of any resulting changes is uncertain. Many of the proposed changes would require Congressional action to implement and it is difficult to estimate when Congressional action would be final and how long any associated phase-in period may last.
For additional information about the business practices of the GSEs, see our Risk Factor titled “Changes in the business practices of the GSEs, federal legislation that changes their charters or a restructuring of the GSEs could reduce our revenues or increase our losses.”
State Regulations
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, our domiciliary state, require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to its RIF (or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. We refer to these requirements as the “State Capital Requirements.” While they vary among jurisdictions, the most common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1. A risk-to-capital ratio will increase if (i) the percentage decrease in capital exceeds the percentage decrease in insured risk, or (ii) the percentage increase in capital is less than the percentage increase in insured risk. Wisconsin does not regulate capital by using a risk-to-capital measure but instead requires an MPP. TheMGIC’s “policyholder position” of a mortgage insurer isincludes its net worth or surplus and its, contingency reserve, and a portion of the reserve for unearned premiumsreserve.
At June 30, 2021,2022, MGIC’s risk-to-capital ratio was 8.99.7 to 1, below the maximum allowed by the jurisdictions with State Capital Requirements, and its policyholder position was $3.5 billion above the required MPP of $1.7$1.9 billion. The calculation of ourOur risk-to-capital ratio and MPP reflect full credit for the risk ceded under our reinsurance transactions. It is possible that under the revised State Capital Requirements discussed below, MGIC will not be allowed full credit for the risk ceded to the reinsurers. If MGIC is not allowed an agreed level of credit under either the State Capital Requirements or the PMIERs, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions, without penalty. Refer to our risk factorRisk Factor titled “State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis” for more information about matters that could negatively impact our compliance with State Capital Requirements.
At June 30, 2021, the risk-to-capital ratio of our combined insurance operations was 8.9 to 1.
The NAIC has previously announced plans to revise the minimum capital and surplus requirements for mortgage insurers that are provided for in its Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act. In December 2019, a working group of state regulators released an exposure draft of a revised Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act and a risk-based capital framework to establish capital requirements for mortgage insurers, although no date has been established by
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 37
which the NAIC must propose revisions to the capital requirements and certain items have not yet been completely addressed by the framework, including the treatment of ceded risk and minimum capital floors. Currently we believe that the PMIERs contain more restrictive capital requirements than the draft Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act in most circumstances.
GSE reform
The FHFA has been the conservator of the GSEs since 2008 and has the authority to control and direct their operations. The increased role that the federal government has assumed in the residential housing finance system through the GSE conservatorship may increase the likelihood that the business practices of the GSEs change, including through administrative action, in ways that have a material adverse effect on us and that the charters of the GSEs are changed by new federal legislation.
In 2019, under the prior Presidential Administration, the U.S. Treasury Department (“Treasury”) released the “Treasury Housing Reform Plan” (“the Plan”). The Plan recommends administrative and legislative reforms for the housing finance system, with such reforms intended, among other things, to achieve the goal of ending conservatorships of the GSEs.
The impact of the Plan on private mortgage insurance is unclear, in part, due to the change in Presidential Administration.
The GSEs announced that loans with applications received on or after July 1, 2021 cannot be “GSE Patch” loans and must conform to a new “Qualified Mortgage” (“QM”) definition. The GSE Patch had expanded the definition of QM under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) ("TILA") to include mortgages eligible to be purchased by the GSEs, even if the mortgages do not meet the debt-to-income ("DTI") ratio limit of 43% that is included in the previous QM definition. Originating a QM may provide a lender with legal protection from lawsuits that claim the lender failed to verify a borrower’s ability to repay. The new QM definition continues to require lenders to consider a borrower's DTI ratio; however, it replaces the DTI ratio cap with a pricing threshold that would exclude from the definition of QM a loan whose annual percentage rate (“APR”) exceeds the average prime offer rate for comparable loans by 2.25 percentage points or more.
Treasury’s Plan indicated that the FHFA and HUD should develop and implement a specific understanding as to the appropriate roles and overlap between the GSEs and FHA, including with respect to the GSEs’ acquisitions of high LTV ratio and high DTI ratio loans. In connection with the 2021 amendment to their Preferred Stock Purchase Plans, the GSEs must limit the acquisition of certain loans with multiple higher risk characteristics related to LTV, DTI and credit score, to levels indicated to be their current levels at the time of the amendment.
For additional information about the business practices of the GSEs, see our risk factor titled “Changes in the business practices of the GSEs, federal legislation that changes their charters or a restructuring of the GSEs could reduce our revenues or increase our losses.”
COVID-19 Pandemic
The increased level of unemployment and economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19(including "shelter-in-place" restrictions), as well as COVID-19‑related illnesses and deaths, had a material impact onmaterially impacted our 2020 financial results, as we reserved for losses associated with the increased delinquency notices received. While uncertain, the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future business, financial results, liquidity and/or financial condition may also be material. The magnitude of the impact will be influenced by various factors, including the length and severity of the pandemic in the United States, the length of time that measures intendedefforts to reduce the transmission of COVID-19,remain in place, the level of unemployment, and the impact of past and future government initiatives and actions taken by the GSEs (including mortgage forbearance and modification programs) to mitigate the economic harm caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As noted above, the servicer of a loan must begin attempts to contact the borrower no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any forbearance plan term and must continue outreach attempts until appropriate contact is made or the forbearance plan term has expired. In certain circumstances, the servicer may be unable to contact the borrower and the forbearance plan will expire after the first six months. A delinquent mortgageForbearance for which the borrower was unable to be contacted and that is not in a forbearance plan may be more likely to result in a claim than a delinquent loan in a forbearance plan. The substantial majority of our NIW wasfederally-insured mortgages (including those delivered to or purchased by the GSEs. While servicers of some non-GSE loans may notGSEs) whose borrowers were affected by COVID-19 allows mortgage payments to be requiredsuspended for a period generally ranging from 6 to offer forbearance to borrowers, we allow servicers to apply GSE loss mitigation programs to non-GSE loans.
18 months. Historically, forbearance plans have reduced the incidence of our losses on affected loans. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the long-term economic impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effect of COVID-19 related forbearances on our loss incidence. As of June 30, 2021 55% of our delinquency inventory was reported to us as in forbearance plans. Whether a loan'sloan delinquency will cure, including through modification, when its forbearance plan ends will depend on the economic circumstances of the borrower at that time. The severity of losses associated with loans whose delinquencies that do not cure will depend on economic conditions at that time, including home prices.
The GSEs have introduced specific loss mitigation options for borrowers impacted by COVID-19 when their forbearance plans end, including the COVID-19 Payment Deferral solution for borrowers who are unable to immediately or gradually repay their missed loan payments. Under the COVID-19 Payment Deferral solution, the borrower's monthly loan payment would be returned to its pre-COVID amount and the missed payments would be added to the end of the mortgage term without accruing any additional interest or late fees. The deferred payments would be due when the loan is paid off or refinanced, or the home is sold.
Foreclosures on mortgages purchased or securitized by the GSEs have beenwere suspended through July 31, 2021. Under a CFPB rule that is generallywas effective from August 31, 2021 through December 31, 2021, (from July 31, 2021 for servicers of GSE mortgages), with limited exceptions, servicers must

Factors affecting our results
As noted above, the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impactadversely affect our future business, results of operations, and financial condition. The magnitude of the impact will be influenced by the factors discussed above under “COVID-19 Pandemic.” We have addressed some of the potential impacts throughout this document.
The future effects of changing climatic conditions on our business is uncertain. For information about possible effects, please refer to our Risk Factor titled “Pandemics, hurricanes and other natural disasters may impact our incurred losses, the amount and timing of paid claims, our inventory of notices of default and our Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs.”
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has increased the already-elevated inflation rate, added more pressure to strained supply chains, and has increased volatility in the domestic and global financial

markets. For information about the possible effects of this on our business please refer to our Risk Factor title “The Russia-Ukraine war and/or other global events may adversely affect the U.S. economy and our business.
Our results of operations are generally affected by:
Premiums written and earned
Premiums written and earned in a year are influenced by:
•NIW, which increases IIF. Many factors affect NIW, including the volume of low down payment home mortgage originations and competition to provide credit enhancement on those mortgages from the FHA, the VA, other mortgage insurers, and other alternatives to mortgage insurance, including GSE programs that may reduce or eliminate the demand for mortgage insurance. NIW does not include loans previously insured by us that are modified, such as loans modified under HARP.
•Cancellations, which reduce IIF. Cancellations due to refinancings are affected by the level of current mortgage interest rates compared to the mortgage coupon rates throughout the in force book, current home values compared to values when the loans in the in force book were insured and the terms on which mortgage credit is available. Home price appreciation can give homeowners the right to cancel mortgage insurance on their loans if sufficient home equity is achieved. Cancellations also result from policy rescissions, which require us to return any premiums received on the rescinded policies and claim payments, which require us to return any premium received on the related policies from the date of default on the insured loans. Cancellations of single premium policies, which are generally non-refundable, result in immediate recognition of any remaining unearned premium.
•Premium rates, which are affected by product type, competitive pressures, the risk characteristics of the insured loans, the percentage of coverage on the insured loans, and PMIERs capital requirements, and product type.requirements. The substantial majority of our monthly and annual mortgage insurance premiums are under premium plans for which, for the first ten years of the policy, the amount of premium is determined by multiplying the initial premium rate by the original loan balance; thereafter, the premium rate resets to a lower rate used for the remaining life of the policy. However, for loans that have utilized HARP, the initial ten-year period resets as of the date of the HARP transaction. The remainder of our monthly and annual premiums are under premium plans for which premiums are determined by a fixed percentage of the loan’s amortizing balance over the life of the policy.
•Premiums ceded, net of a profit commission, under our QSR Transactions and premiums ceded under our Home Re Transactions. Profitexcess of loss transactions. The profit commission under our QSR Transactions varies inversely with the level of ceded losses incurred on a “dollar for dollar” basis and can be eliminated at ceded loss levels higher than what we currently are experiencing. Profithave experienced on our QSR Transactions. As a result, lower levels of losses incurred result in a higher profit commission isand less benefit from ceded losses incurred; higher when there is lesslevels of losses incurred result in more benefit from ceded losses incurred and a lower when there is more benefit from ceded losses incurred.profit commission (or for certain levels of accident year loss ratios, its elimination). See Note 4 - “Reinsurance” to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our reinsurance transactions.
Premiums earned are generated by the insurance that is in force during all or a portion of the period. A change in the average IIF in the current period compared to an earlier period is a factor that will increase (when the average in force is higher) or reduce (when it is lower) premiums written and earned in the current period, although this effect may be enhanced (or mitigated) by differences in the average premium rate between the two periods as well as by premiums that are returned or expected to be returned in connection with claim payments and rescissions, and premiums ceded under reinsurance transactions. Also, NIW and cancellations during a period will generally have a greater effect on premiums written and earned in subsequent periods than in the period in which these events occur.factors discussed immediately above.
Investment income
Our investment portfolio is composed principally of investment grade fixed income securities. The principal factors that influence investment income are the size of the portfolio and its yield. As measured by amortized cost (which excludes changes in fair value, such as from changes in interest rates), the size of the investment portfolio is mainly a function of cash generated from (or used in) operations, such as NPW,net premiums written, investment income, net claim payments and expenses, and cash provided by (or used for) non-operating activities, such as debt or stock issuances or repurchases, and dividends.
Losses incurred
Losses incurred are the current expense that reflects claim payments, costs of settling claims, and estimatedchanges in our estimates of payments that will ultimately be made as a result of delinquencies on insured loans. As explained under “Critical Accounting Policies”Estimates” in our 20202021 10-K MD&A, except in the case of a premium deficiency reserve, we recognize an estimate of this expense only for delinquent loans. The level of new delinquencies has historically followed a seasonal pattern, with new delinquencies in the first part of the year lower than new delinquencies in the latter part of the year, though this pattern can be affected by theyear. The state of the economy, and local housing markets. Pandemics,markets and various other factors, including the COVID-19 and other natural disasterspandemic, may result in delinquencies not following the typical pattern. Losses incurred are generally affected by:
•The state of the economy, including unemployment and housing values, each of which affects the likelihood that loans will become delinquent and whether loans that are delinquent cure their delinquency.
•The product mix of the in force book, with loans having higher risk characteristics generally resulting in higher delinquencies and claims.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 39
•The size of loans insured, with higher average loan amounts tending to increase losses incurred.incurred losses.
•The percentage of coverage on insured loans, with deeper average coverage tending to increase losses incurred.
•The rate at which we rescind policies or curtail claims. Our estimated loss reserves incorporate our estimates of future rescissions of policies and curtailments of claims, and reversals of rescissions and curtailments. We collectively refer to such rescissions and denials as “rescissions” and variations of this term. We call reductions to claims “curtailments.”
•The distribution of claims over the life of a book. Historically, the first few years after loans are originated are a period of relatively low claims, with claims increasing substantially for several years subsequent and then declining, although persistency, the condition of the economy, including unemployment and housing prices, and other factors can affect this pattern. For example, a weak
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 38
economy or housing value declines can lead to claims from older books increasing, continuing at stable levels or experiencing a lower rate of decline. See further information under “Mortgage insurance earnings and cash flow cycle” below.

Net realized investment gains
Gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments
•Fixed income securities. Realized investmentInvestment gains and losses are a function ofreflect the difference between the amount received on the sale of a fixed income security and the fixed income security’s cost basis, as well as any credit allowances and any “other than temporary” impairments recognized in earnings. The amount received on the sale of fixed income securities is affected by the coupon rate of the security compared to the yield of comparable securities at the time of sale.
•Equity securities. Realized investmentInvestment gains and losses are accounted for as a function of the periodic change in fair value.
•Financial instruments. Investment gains and losses on the embedded derivative on our Home Re Transactions reflect the present value impact of the variation in investment income on assets on the insurance-linked notes held by the reinsurance trusts and the contractual reference rate used to calculate the reinsurance premiums we pay.
Loss on debt extinguishment
Gains and losses on debt extinguishment result from discretionary activities that are undertaken to enhance our capital position, improve our debt profile, and/or reduce potential dilution from our outstanding convertible debt. Extinguishing our outstanding debt obligations early through these discretionary activities may result in losses primarily driven by the payment of consideration in excess of our carrying value, or their fair value, and the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs on the extinguished portion of the debt.
Mortgage insurance earnings and cash flow cycle
In general, the majority of any underwriting profit that a book generates occurs in the early years of the book, with the largest portion of any underwriting profit realized in the first year following the year the book was written. Subsequent years of a book may result in either underwriting profit or underwriting losses. This pattern of results typically occurs because relatively few of the incurred losses on delinquencies that a book will ultimately experience typically occur in the first few years of the book, when premium revenue is highest, while subsequent years are affected by declining premium revenues, as the number of insured loans decreases (primarily due to loan prepayments) and increasing losses. The typical pattern is also a function of premium rates generally resetting to lower levels after ten years. Changes in economic conditions,The state of the economy, local housing markets and various other factors, including those related to pandemics, includingthe COVID-19 and other natural disasterspandemic, may result in delinquencies not following the typical pattern.
Cybersecurity
We are increasingly reliant on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems. All information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including by third-party cyber attacks, including those involving ransomware. The Company discovers vulnerabilities and experiences malicious attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to its systems on a regular basis. Globally, attacks are expected to continue accelerating in both frequency and sophistication with increasing use by actors of tools and techniques that will hinder the Company’s ability to identify, investigate and recover from incidents. Such attacks may also increase as a result of retaliation by Russia in response to actions taken by the U.S. and other countries in connection with Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company transitioned to a primarily virtual workforce model and is now operating under a hybrid model. Virtual and hybrid workforce models may be more vulnerable to security breaches.
While we have information security policies and systems in place to secure our information technology systems and to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of sensitive information, there can be no assurance with respect to our systems and those of our third-party vendors that unauthorized access to the systems or disclosure of the sensitive information, either through the actions of third parties or employees, will not occur.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 20212022 | 4039
Explanation and reconciliation of our use of non-GAAP financial measures
Non-GAAP financial measures
We believe that use of the Non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss), adjusted net operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating income (loss) per diluted share facilitate the evaluation of the company's core financial performance thereby providing relevant information to investors. These measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance.
Adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP income (loss) before tax, excluding the effects of net realized investment gains (losses), gain and losses on debt extinguishment, net impairment losses recognized in earnings and infrequent or unusual non-operating items where applicable.
Adjusted net operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding the after-tax effects of net realized investment gains (losses), gain and losses on debt extinguishment, net impairment losses recognized in earnings, and infrequent or unusual non-operating items where applicable. The amounts of adjustments to components of pre-tax operating income (loss) are tax effected using a federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
Adjusted net operating income (loss) per diluted share is calculated in a manner consistent with the accounting standard regarding earnings per share by dividing (i) adjusted net operating income (loss) after making adjustments for interest expense on convertible debt, whenever the impact is dilutive by (ii) diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, which reflects share dilution from unvested restricted stock units and from convertible debt when dilutive under the “if-converted” method.
Although adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating income (loss) exclude certain items that have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future, the excluded items represent items that are: (1) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities; or (2) impacted by both discretionary and other economic or regulatory factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends, or both. These adjustments, along with the reasons for their treatment, are described below. Trends in the profitability of our fundamental operating activities can be more clearly identified without the fluctuations of these adjustments. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by us.
(1)Net realized investment gains (losses). The recognition of net realized investment gains or losses can vary significantly across periods as the timing of individual securities sales is highly discretionary and is influenced by such factors as market opportunities, our tax and capital profile, and overall market cycles.
(2)Gains and losses on debt extinguishment. Gains and losses on debt extinguishment result from discretionary activities that are undertaken to enhance our capital position, improve
our debt profile, and/or reduce potential dilution from our outstanding convertible debt.
(3)Net impairment losses recognized in earnings. The recognition of net impairment losses on investments can vary significantly in both size and timing, depending on market credit cycles, individual issuer performance, and general economic conditions.
(4)Infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Items that are non-recurring in nature and are not part of our primary operating activities.

Mortgage Insurance Portfolio
New insurance writtenMortgage originations
The total amount of mortgage originations is generally influenced by the level of new and existing home sales, the percentage of homes purchased for cash, and the level of refinance activity. PMI market share of total mortgage originations is influenced by the mix of purchase and refinance originations. PMI market share is also impacted by the market share of total originations of the FHA, VA, USDA, and other alternatives to mortgage insurance, including GSE programs that may reduce or eliminate the demand for mortgage insurance.
NIW for the second quarter of 20212022 was $33.6$24.3 billion (Q2 2020: $28.22021: $33.6 billion) and for the six months of 2021ended was $64.4$43.9 billion (YTD 2020: $46.12021: $64.4 billion). The increase fordecrease when compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,same period last year was primarily due to a decrease in refinance transactions that required mortgage insurance.
For the remainder of the year, we expect a smaller origination market to drive a decrease in our NIW compared to the prior periods, was primarily driven by the increase in the mortgage origination market.2021.
The following tables present characteristics of our primary NIW for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Insurance and risk in force
The amount of our IIF and RIF is impacted by the amount of NIW and cancellations of primary IIF during the period. Cancellation activity is primarily due to refinancing activity, but is also impacted by rescissions, cancellations due to claim payment, and policies cancelled when borrowers achieve the required amount of home equity. Refinancing activity has historically been affected by the level of mortgage interest rates and the level of home price appreciation. Cancellations generally move inversely to the change in the direction of interest rates, although they generally lag a change in direction.
Persistency.
Our persistency was 71.5% at June 30, 2022 compared to 62.6% at December 31, 2021 and 57.1% at June 30, 2021 compared to 60.5% at December 31, 2020 and 68.2% at June 30, 2020.2021. Since 2000, our year-end persistency ranged from a high of 84.7% at December 31, 2009 to a low of 47.1% at December 31, 2003.

Credit profile of our primary RIF
The proportion of our total primary RIF written after 2008 has been steadily increasing in proportion to our total primary RIF. Our 2009 and later books possess significantly improved risk characteristics when compared to our 2005-2008 books. Modification and refinance programs, such as HAMP and HARP, which expired at the end of 2016 and 2018, respectively, but have been replaced by other GSE modification programs, make outstanding loans more affordable to borrowers with the goal of reducing the number of foreclosures. HARP allowed borrowers who were not delinquent, but who may not otherwise have been able to refinance their loans under the current GSE underwriting standards due to, for example, the current LTV exceeding 100%, to refinance and lower their note rate. As of June 30, 2021, our modifications2022, loans associated with modification programs accounted for 6.4%4.6% of our total RIF, compared to 7.8%5.4% at December 31, 2020. Loans associated with 85.7% of all our modifications were current as2021. As of June 30, 2021.2022, 87.2% of loans associated with modifications programs were current.
The following table sets forth certain statistics associated with our primary IIF and RIF as of June 30, 2021, by year(s) of policy origination since 1985.

Pool and other insurance
MGIC has written no new pool insurance since 2008; however, for a variety of reasons, including responding to capital market alternatives to PMI and customer demands, MGIC may write pool risk in the future. Our direct pool risk in force was $322$286 million ($208198 million on pool policies with aggregate loss limits and $114$88 million on pool policies without aggregate loss limits) at June 30, 20212022 compared to $340$305 million ($210206 million on pool policies with aggregate loss limits and $130$99 million on pool policies without aggregate loss limits) at December 31, 2020.2021. If claim payments associated with a specific pool reach the aggregate loss limit, the remaining IIF within the pool would be cancelled and any remaining delinquencies under the pool would be removed from our delinquency inventory.
In connection with the GSEs' CRT programs, an insurance subsidiary of MGIC provides insurance and reinsurance covering portions of the credit risk related to certain reference pools of mortgages acquired by the GSEs. Our RIF, as reported to us, related to these programs was approximately $329$288 million and $287$321 million as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

NPW and NPE increasedPremiums earned for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 were $255.7 million and $510.9 million, respectively, compared with $251.5 million and $506.6 million, respectively, for the priorsame comparable period last year. Net premiums written for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $244.3 million and $487.0 million, respectively, compared with $241.7 million and $483.2 million, respectively, for the same comparable period last year. The increase in NPWnet premiums written and earned was due to an increase in insurance inforcein force and an increasea decrease in profit commission,ceded premiums from our quota share reinsurance transactions, partially offset by a decrease in our premium yield compared to the net premium yield. Profit commission was lower in the second quarter of 2020 due to higher ceded incurred losses resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. NPE increased as a result of higher NPW, offset by a decrease in accelerated premiums earned from single premium policy cancellations due to a decrease in refinance activity.
Comparative year to date results
NPW and NPE increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the priorsame period last year. The increase in NPW was due to an increase in insurance inforce and a decrease in ceded premiums written, net of profit commission, partially offset by a decrease in the net premium yield. NPE increased as a result of higher NPW, offset by a decrease in accelerated premiums earned from single premium policy cancellations due to a decrease in refinance activity.
See “Overview - Factors Affecting Our Results” above for additional factors that influenced the amount of net premiums written and earned during the periods. See “Reinsurance Transactions” below for discussion of our ceded premiums written and earned.

Factors that impacted ourChanges in the net premium yield includefor the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 reflect the following:
| | | | | |
| In force Portfolio Yield |
è
| A larger percentage of our IIF from book years with lower premium rates due to a decline in premium rates in recent years resulting from pricing competition, insuring mortgagesan in force book with lower risk characteristics, lower required capital, the availability of reinsurance, and certain policies undergoing premium rate resets on their ten-year anniversaries. |
| Premium Refunds |
è
| Premium refunds adversely impact our net premium yield and are primarily driven by claim activity and our estimate of refundable premiums on our delinquency inventory. The low level of claims received have resulted in a lower level of premium refunds. Fluctuations in our delinquency inventory and our estimate of the number of loans in our delinquency inventory that will result in a claim impact our estimate of refundable premium on our delinquency inventory. |
| Accelerated earnings on single premium policies |
è
| Accelerated earned premium from cancellation of single premium policies prior to their estimated policy life, primarily due to refinancing activity, increase our yield. The lower level of refinance transactions have reduced this benefit. |
| Ceded premiums earned, net of profit commission and assumed premiums |
è
| Ceded premiums earned, net of profit commission adversely impact our net premium yield. Ceded premiums earned, net of profit commission, were primarilyare associated with the QSR Transactions and the Home Re Transactions.excess of loss transactions. Assumed premiums consists primarily of premiums from GSE CRT programs. See “Reinsurance Transactions “Transactions“ below for further discussion on our reinsurance transactions. |
As discussed in our Risk Factor titled “Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our revenues, reduce our premium yields and / or increase our losses,” the private mortgage insurance industry is highly competitive and premium rates have declined over the past several years. We expect our net premiumin force portfolio yield to continue to decline as older insurance policies with higher premium rates run off and are replaced with new insurance policies which generally have lower premium rates.
Reinsurance Transactions
Quota share reinsurance
Our quota share reinsurance affects various lines of our statements of operations and therefore we believe it should be analyzed by reviewing its total effect on our pre-tax income, described as follows.
| | | | | | | | |
| è | | We cede a fixed percentage of premiums on insurance covered by the agreements. |
| è | | We receive the benefit of a profit commission through a reduction in the premiums we cede. The profit commission varies inversely with the level of losses on a “dollar for dollar” basis and can be eliminated at loss levels higher than what we are currently experiencing. As a result, lower levels of ceded losses result in a higher profit commission and less benefit from ceded losses;losses and a higher profit commission; higher levels of ceded losses result in more benefit from ceded losses and a lower profit commission (or for certain levels of accident year loss ratios, its elimination). |
| è | | We receive the benefit of a ceding commission through a reduction in underwriting expenses equal to 20% of premiums ceded (before the effect of the profit commission). |
| è | | We cede a fixed percentage of losses incurred on insurance covered by the agreements. |

The increase in NIW and new risk written subject to quota share reinsurance increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the same periodperiods of the prior year primarily due to a decrease in refinance transactions which resulted in a decrease in NIW with LTVs less than or equal to 85% and amortization terms less than or equal to 20 year,years, which are excluded from the QSR Transactions. The NIWgenerally have lower coverage percentages, and new risk written subject to quota share reinsurance increased in the first six months of 2021 when compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to the Credit Union QSR transaction not being effective until April 1, 2020 and a decrease in NIW with amortization terms less than or equal to 20 year, which are excluded from the QSR Transactions.
As of June 30, 2021,2022, the weighted average coverage percentage of our QSR transactions was 24%30% based on RIF.
Excess of loss reinsurance
We have entered into an excess of loss reinsurance transaction, in the traditional reinsurance market with a panel of third-party reinsurers (the “XOL Transaction”) to provide up to $175 million of reinsurance coverage on eligible NIW in 2022. The XOL Transaction has contractual termination date after approximately ten years, with an optional termination date after seven years and quarterly thereafter. For the covered policies, we retain the first layer of the aggregate losses paid, and the reinsurers will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. We retain losses paid in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. The reinsurance coverage is subject to adjustment based on the risk characteristics of the covered loans. The reinsurance premiums ceded to the XOL Transaction are based off the remaining reinsurance coverage levels.
We also have aggregate excess of loss reinsurance (“Home Re Transactions”) with unaffiliated special purpose entities. As of June 30, 20212022 our excess of loss reinsuranceHome Re Transactions provided $1.2$1.8 billion of loss coverage on a portfolio of policies having an in force date from July 1, 2016 through March 31, 2019, and from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020;2021; all dates inclusive. AsFor this reinsurance coverage, we retain the first layer of the respective aggregate losses paid, and a Home Re Entity will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance amount.

Losses incurred, net
As discussed in “Critical Accounting Policies” in our 20202021 10-K MD&A, we establish case loss reserves for future claims on delinquent loans that were reported to us as two payments past due and have not become current or resulted in a claim payment. Such loans are referred to as being in our delinquency inventory. Case loss reserves are established based on estimating the number of loans in our delinquency inventory that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity.
IBNR reserves are established for delinquencies estimated to have occurred prior to the close of an accounting period, but have not yet been reported to us. IBNR reserves are established using estimated delinquencies, claim rates, and claim severities.
Estimation of losses is inherently judgmental. Changes to our estimates could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position, even in a stable economic environment. The conditions that affect the claim rate and claim severity include the current and future state of the domestic economy, including unemployment, and the current and future strength of local
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 47
housing markets.markets; exposure on insured loans; the amount of time between delinquency and claim filing; and curtailments and rescissions. The actual amount of the claim payments may be substantially different than our loss reserve estimates. Our estimates could be adversely affected by several factors, including a deterioration of regional or national economic conditions, including unemployment and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a reduction in borrowerborrowers’ income and thus their ability to make mortgage payments, the impact of past and future government initiatives and actions taken by the GSEs (including mortgage forbearance programs and foreclosure moratoriums), and a drop in housing values that could result in, among other things, greater losses on loans, and may affect borrower willingness to continue to make mortgage payments when the net value of the home is below the mortgage balance. Loss reserves in the future will also be dependent on the number of loans reported to us as delinquent.
Historically, losses incurred have followed a seasonal trend in which the second half of the year has weaker credit performance than the first half, with higher new notice activity and a lower cure rate. Changes in economic circumstances, including those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, affected this pattern starting in the second quarter of 2020.
As discussed in our Risk FactorFactors titled “The Covid-19 pandemic may continue to materially impact our future financial results, and may also materially impact our business, liquidity andand/or financial condition" and “The future impact of Covid-19 related forbearance and foreclosure mitigation activities is unknown,” the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future incurred losses is uncertain and may be material. As discussed in our risk factorRisk Factor titled “Because we establish loss reserves only upon a loan delinquency rather than based on estimates of our ultimate losses on risk in force, losses may have a disproportionate adverse effect on our earnings in certain periods” if we have not received a notice of delinquency with respect to a loan and if we have not estimated the loan to be delinquent as of June 30, 20212022 through our IBNR reserve, then we have not yet recorded an incurred loss with respect to that loan.
Our estimates are also affected by any agreements we enter into regarding our claims paying practices. Changes to our estimates could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position, even in a stable economic environment.

Loss ratio
The loss ratio is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the sum of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net premiums earned. The loss ratio was (38.7%) and (23.2%), respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with 11.6% and 13.6%, respectively for the comparative periods in the prior year. The decrease in the loss ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the respective prior year periods was primarily due to a decrease in losses incurred discussed above.

NewThe number of new delinquency notices received for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased 84%2022 increased 4% from the same period last year as new notice activityyear. The estimated claim rate on delinquency notices received in the second quarter of 2022 was below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Theconsistent with the new notice claim rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020in 2021.
ManyThe table below presents our new delinquency notices received, delinquency inventory, percentage of loans in forbearance, and the average number of missed payments for the loans in our delinquency inventory have entered forbearance plans. Historically, forbearance plans have reduced the incidence of our losses on affected loans. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the long-term economic impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effect of COVID-19 related forbearances on our loss incidence. Whether a loan's delinquency will cure, including through modification, when its forbearance plan ends will depend on the economic circumstances of the borrower at that time. The severity of losses associated with loans whose delinquencies do not cure will depend on economic conditions at that time, including home prices compared to home prices at the time of placement of coverage. Forbearance information is based on the most recent information provided by the GSEs, as well as loan servicers, and we believe substantially all represent forbearances related to COVID-19. While the forbearance information provided by the GSEs refers to delinquent loans in forbearance as of the prior month-end, the information provided by loan servicers may be more current. As of June 30, 2021 55% of our delinquency inventory were in such plans.policy year:

Claims severity
Factors that impact claim severity include:
| | | | | | | | |
| è | | economic conditions at time of claim filing, including home prices compared to home prices at the time of placement of coverage, |
| è | | exposure of the loan, which is the unpaid principal balance of the loan times our insurance coverage percentage, |
| è | | length of time between delinquency and claim filing (which impacts the amount of interest and expenses, with a longer time between default and claim filing generally increasing severity), and |
| è | | curtailments. |
As discussed in Note 11 - “Loss Reserves,” the average time for servicers to process foreclosures prior to 2020 had been decreasing. In light of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the average number of missed payments at the time a claim is received and expected to be received will increase in 2021. Ourour loss reserves estimates take into consideration trends over time, because the development of the delinquencies may vary from period to period without establishing a meaningful trend. In light of the forbearance and foreclosure moratorium programs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the average number of missed payments at the time a claim is received and expected to be received will increase throughout 2022. Although foreclosure moratoriums are expiring, under a CFPB rule that was generally effective through December 31, 2021, with limited exceptions, servicers were required to ensure that at least one temporary safeguard was met before referring 120-day delinquent loans for foreclosure. Given the expiration of the CFPB rule, it is likely that foreclosures and claims will increase, although the timing and magnitude of such increase is uncertain
The majority of loans insured prior to 20082009 (which represent 31%43% of the loans in the delinquency inventory) are covered by master policy terms that, except under certain circumstances, do not limit the number of years that an insured can include interest when filing a claim. Under our current master policy terms, an insured can include accumulated interest when filing a claim only for the first three years the loan is delinquent. In each case, the insured must comply with its obligations under the terms of the applicable master policy.

The foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans in place under GSE initiatives have delayed and may continue to delay the receipt of claims. Claims that were resolved after the first quarter of 2020 experienced an increase in loss mitigation activities, primarily third party acquisitions (sometimes referred to as “short sales”), resulting in a decrease in the average claim paid and the average claim paid as a percentage of exposure. At the end of 2021, the average number of missed payments at the time claims were received increased as foreclosure moratoriums expired resulting in an increase in our claims received. However, at June 30, 2022, claims received are still below levels experienced prior to the second quarter of 2020. As foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans end, we expect to see an increase in claims received and claims paid at exposure levels above those experienced subsequent to the second quarter of 2020. The magnitude and timing of the increases are uncertain.
In considering the potential sensitivity of the factors underlying our estimate of loss reserves, it is possible that even a relatively small change in our estimated claim rate or severity could have a material impact on reserves and, correspondingly, on our consolidated results of operations even in a stable economic environment. For example, as of June 30, 2021, assuming all other factors remain constant, a $1,000 increase/decrease in the average severity reserve factor would change the reserve amount by approximately +/- $17 million. A 1 percentage point increase/decrease in the average claim rate reserve factor would change the reserve amount by approximately +/- $25 million.
See Note 11 – “Loss Reserves” to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our losses incurred and claims paying practices.).
The length of time a loan is in the delinquency inventory (see Note 11-11- “Loss Reserves,” table 11.4) can differ from the number of payments that the borrower has not made or is considered delinquent. These differences typically result from a borrower making monthly payments that do not result in the loan becoming fully current. The number of payments that a borrower is delinquent is shown in the following table.

Net losses and LAE paid
Net losses and LAE paid in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $18 million and $49 million, respectively, or 56% and 63%, respectively,2022 was flat compared towith the same period in the prior year dueand decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2021. Foreclosures on mortgages purchased or securitized by the GSEs were suspended through July 31, 2021. Under a CFPB rule that was effective through December 31, 2021, with limited exceptions, servicers were required to lower claim activity on our primary business due to foreclosure moratoriums and payment forbearance plans in place.
While foreclosure moratoriums and payment forbearance plans remain in place, net losses and LAE paid are expected to continue to be lower.ensure that at least one temporary procedural safeguard had been met before referring 120-day delinquent loans for foreclosure. As the various moratorium and forbearance plansforeclosure moratoriums came to an end in 2021, we expect net losses and LAE paid to increase, however, the magnitude and timing of the increases are uncertain.

Loss reserves
Our primary delinquency rate at June 30, 2021 was 3.71% (YE 2020: 5.11%, June 30, 2020: 6.35%). Our primary delinquency inventory was 42,99926,855 loans at June 30, 2021,2022, representing a decrease of 25%19.3% from December 31, 20202021 and 38%37.5% from June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, 55% of our delinquency inventory were reported to us as subject to forbearance plans. We believe substantially all represent forbearance plans related to COVID-19.2021. Generally, a defaulted loan with fewermore missed payments is lessmore likely to result in a claim. Prior to 2020, weWe experienced a declinedecrease in the number of delinquencies in inventory with twelve or more missed payments. The increasepayments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of delinquencies with twelve or more missed paymentwhen compared to June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the number of newincrease in cure activity on delinquencies received during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as delinquency notices received in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the impacts ofprior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the long-term economic impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effect of COVID-19 related forbearances on our loss incidence. Whether a loan’s delinquency will cure when its forbearance plan ends will depend on the economic circumstances of the borrower at that time.(See Note 11- “Loss Reserves,” table 11.4)

On our primary business, the highest claim frequency years have typically been the third and fourth year after loan origination. However, the pattern of claim frequency can be affected by many factors, including persistency and deteriorating economic conditions. Deteriorating economic conditions, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, can result in increasing claims following a period of declining claims. As of June 30, 2021, 71%2022, 76% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2019, 83% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2018, 77%and 86% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2017, and 83% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2016.2017.

Forbearance programs enacted by the GSEs provide for payment forbearance on mortgages to borrowers experiencing a hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021,2022, December 31, 2020,2021, and June 30, 2020, 55%2021, 25%, 62%33%, and 67%55%, respectively, of our delinquency inventory was reported as subject to a forbearance plan. We believe substantially all represent forbearances related to COVID-19. The following tables present characteristicsHistorically, forbearance plans have reduced the incidence of our primarylosses on affected loans. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the long-term economic impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effect of COVID-19 related forbearances on our loss incidence. Whether a loan delinquency inventory inwill cure, including through modification, when forbearance plans.ends will depend on the economic circumstances of the borrower at that time. The severity of losses associated with delinquencies that do not cure will depend on economic conditions at that time, including home prices.

Capitalization
Debt - holding company
As of June 30, 2021,2022, our holding company’s debt obligations were $1.1$0.9 billion in aggregate principal amount consisting of our 5.75% Notes, 5.25% Notes, and 9% Debentures. In the first half of 2022 we repurchased $74.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9% Debentures at a purchase price of $102.0 million plus accrued interest. The repurchase of 9% Debentures resulted in a $27.2 million loss on debt extinguishment on our consolidated statement of operations and a reduction in our potentially dilutive shares by approximately 5.7 million shares. In July, we redeemed the $242.3 million of aggregate principal outstanding on our 5.75% Notes due in 2023 at a price of $248.4 million plus accrued interest. The redemption of the 5.75% Notes resulted in a $6.8 million loss on debt extinguishment, which will be recorded in the third quarter of 2020, MGIC distributed to the holding company, as a dividend, its ownership in the 9% Debentures, retiring those 9% Debentures.

Liquidity analysis - holding company
As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had approximately $772$690 million in cash and investments at our holding company. These resources are maintained primarily to service our debt interest expense, pay debt maturities, repurchase shares, repurchase debt, pay dividends to shareholders, and to settle intercompany obligations. While these assets are held, we generate investment income that serves to offset a portion of our interest expense. Investment income and thecash requirements. The payment of dividends from our insurance subsidiaries are the principal sources of holding company cash inflow. MGIC is the principal source of dividends, and their payment is restricted by insurance regulation. Under the PMIERs guidance, any dividend paid by MGIC to our holding company, through September 30, 2021, requires GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 50% of its Minimum Required Assets; and from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 such dividends require GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 15% of its Minimum Required Assets. See Note 14 - “Statutory Information” to our consolidated financial statement for additional information about MGIC’s dividend restrictions. The payment of dividends from MGIC is also influenced by our view of the appropriate level of PMIERs Available Assets to maintain in excess of Minimum Required Assets. Other sources of holding company liquidity include raising capital in the public markets. The ability to raise capital in the public markets is subject to prevailing market conditions, investor demand for the securities to be issued, and our deemed creditworthiness.

In July 2022, we repurchased an additional 2.1 million shares totaling $27.9 million under the remaining authorization.
MGIC paid cash dividends to our holding company of $400 million in the six months ended June 30,
2021 compared to the repurchase of 9.6 million shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our share repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we had temporarily suspended stock repurchases, but intend to resume them in the third quarter. See “Overview - Capital” of this MD&A for a discussion of the share repurchase program authorized in January 2020.

MGIC did not pay a cash and/or investment security dividend to our holding company in the first six months 2021, compared to a $390 million dividend in the first six months of 2020. In August 2021, MGIC paid a dividend of $150 million to our holding company.2022. Future dividend payments from MGIC to the holding company will be determined in consultation with the board, and after considering any updated estimates about the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. We ask the Wisconsin OCI not to object before MGIC pays dividends to the holding company.
The net unrealized gainslosses on our holding company investment portfolio were approximately $1.9$13.5 million at June 30, 20212022 and the portfolio had a modified duration of approximately 1.81.7 years.
In July 2022 we redeemed the $242.3 million of aggregate principal outstanding on our 5.75% Senior Notes due in 2023. Scheduled debt maturities beyond the next twelve months include $650 of our 5.25% Notes in 2028, and $35.3 million of our 9% Debentures in 2063. Subject to certain limitations and restrictions, holders of each of the 9% Debentures may convert their notes into shares of our common stock at their option under the terms of their issuance, in which case our corresponding obligation will be eliminated.
Over the next twelve months the principal demand on holding company resources will be interest payments on our 5.25% Notes, and 9% Debentures is approximating $37 million, after giving effect to the redemption of our 5.75% Senior Notes discussed above. We believe our holding company has sufficient sources of liquidity to meet its payment obligations for the foreseeable future.
We may also use additional holding company cash to repurchase additional shares or to repurchase our outstanding debt obligations. Such repurchases may be material, may be made for cash (funded by debt) and/or exchanges for other securities, and may be made in open market purchases (including through 10b5-1 plans), privately negotiated acquisitions or other transactions. See "Overview-Capital" of this MD&A for a discussion for a discussion of our share repurchase programs.

Capital Adequacy
PMIERs
As of June 30, 2021,2022, MGIC’s Available Assets under the PMIERs totaled approximately $5.7$5.8 billion, an excess of approximately $2.3$2.6 billion over its Minimum Required Assets; and MGIC is in compliance with the requirements of the PMIERs and eligible to insure loans delivered to or purchased by the GSEs. Our reinsurance transactions provided an aggregate of approximately $1.7$2.4 billion of capital credit under the PMIERs as of June 30, 2021.2022. Refer to Note 4 - “Reinsurance” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on our QSR and Home Re Transactions.reinsurance transactions.
We anticipate our delinquency inventory to remain elevated in 2021 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The PMIERS generally require us to hold significantly more
Minimum Required Assets for delinquent loans than for performing loans and the Minimum Required Assets required to be held increases as the number of payments missed on a delinquent loan increases. For delinquent loans whose initial missed payment occurred on or after March 1, 2020 and prior to April 1, 2021 (the "COVID-19 Crisis Period"), the Minimum Required Assets are generally reduced by 70% for at least three months. The 70% reduction will continue, or be newly applied, for delinquent loans that are subject to a forbearance plan that is granted in response to a financial hardship related to COVID-19, the terms of which are materially consistent with terms of forbearance plans offered by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. Under the PMIERs, a forbearance plan on a loan with an initial missed payment occurring during the COVID-19 Crisis Period is assumed to have been granted in response to a financial hardship related to COVID-19. Loans considered to be subject to a forbearance plan include those that are in a repayment plan or loan modification trial period following the forbearance plan.
Forbearance for federally-insured mortgages allows for mortgage payments to be suspended for up to 18 months: an initial forbearance period of up to six months; if requested by the borrower following contact by the servicers, an extension of up to six months; and for loans in a COVID-19 forbearance plan as of February 28, 2021 an additional six months, subject to certain limits. The servicer of the mortgage must begin attempts to contact the borrower no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any forbearance plan term and must continue outreach attempts until appropriate contact is made or the forbearance plan term has expired. If a servicer of a loan is unable to contact the borrower prior to the expiration of the first six month forbearance plan term, or if the forbearance plan reaches its twelve-month anniversary and is not further extended, the forbearance plan will expire. In such case, the 70% reduction in Minimum Required Assets for that loan will no longer be applicable and our Minimum Required Assets will increase.
We expect the GSEs and servicers will provide us with information about the forbearance status for nearly all of the loans in our delinquency inventory. The forbearance information provided by the GSEs will be with respect to delinquent loans in forbearance as of the prior month-end, while the information provided by loan servicers may be more current. As a result, in some cases, there may be a delay in our ability to take advantage of the 70% reduction.
Refer to “Overview - Capital - GSEs” of this MD&A and our risk factor titled “We may not continue to meet the GSEs’ private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease if we are required to maintain more capital in order to maintain our eligibility” for further discussion of PMIERs.
Risk-to-capital
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, our domiciliary state, require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to its RIF (or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. While they vary among jurisdictions, the most common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 60
We compute our risk-to-capital ratio on a separate company statutory basis, as well as on a combined insurance operation basis. The risk-to-capital ratio is our net RIF divided by our policyholders’ position. Our net RIF includes both primary and pool risk in force, net of reinsurance and excludes risk on policies that are currently in default and for which loss reserves have been established. The risk amount includes pools of loans with contractual aggregate loss limits and without these limits. Policyholders’MGIC’s policyholders’ position consists primarily of statutory policyholders’ surplus (which increases as a result of statutory net income and decreases as a result of statutory net loss and dividends paid), plus the statutory contingency reserve, and a portion of the reserves for unearned premiums.reserve. The
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 57
statutory contingency reserve is reported as a liability on the statutory balance sheet. A mortgage insurance company is required to make annual additions to the contingency reserve of approximately 50% of net earned premiums. These contributions must generally be maintained for a period of ten years. However, with regulatory approval a mortgage insurance company may make early withdrawals from the contingency reserve when incurred losses exceed 35% of net earned premiums in a calendar year.

Our long-term debt obligations as of June 30, 2021 include their related interest and are discussed in Note 3 - “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements and under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above. Our operating lease obligations include operating leases on data processing equipment and autos, as discussed in Note 16 – “Leases” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Purchase obligations consist primarily of agreements to purchase items related to our continued investment in our information technology infrastructure in the normal course of business.
Our other long-term liabilities represent the case and LAE loss reserves established to recognize the liability for losses and LAE related to existing delinquency inventory on insured mortgage loans and our IBNR reserve. The timing of the future claim payments associated with the established case loss reserves was determined primarily based on two key assumptions: the length of time it takes for a notice of delinquency to develop into a received claim and the length of time it takes for a received claim to be ultimately paid. The future claim payment periods are estimated based on historical experience, and could emerge differently than this estimate, in part, due to uncertainty regarding the impact of certain factors, such as impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, loss mitigation protocols established by servicers and changes in some state foreclosure laws that may include, for example, a requirement for additional review and/or mediation process.
See Note 11 – “Loss Reserves” to our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with GAAP for the mortgage insurance industry, we establish loss reserves only for delinquent loans that were reported to us as two or more payments past due and have not become current or resulted in a claim payment and for loans we estimate are delinquent but for which delinquencies have not yet been received (“IBNR”). Because our reserving method does not take into account the impact of future losses that could occur from loans that are not delinquent, our obligation for ultimate losses that we expect to occur under our policies in force at any period end is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements or in the table above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our investment portfolio is essentially a fixed income portfolio and is exposed to market risk. Important drivers of the market risk are credit spread risk and interest rate risk.
Credit spread risk is the risk that we will incur a loss due to adverse changes in credit spreads. Credit spread is the additional yield on fixed income securities above the risk-free rate (typically referenced as the yield on U.S. Treasury securities) that market participants require to compensate them for assuming credit, liquidity and/or prepayment risks.
We manage credit risk via our investment policy guidelines which primarily place our investments in investment grade securities and limit the amount of our credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument. Guideline and investment portfolio detail is available in "Business – Section
C, Investment Portfolio" in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur a loss due to adverse changes in interest rates relative to the characteristics of our interest bearing assets.
One of the measures used to quantify this exposure is modified duration. Modified duration measures the price sensitivity of the assets to the changes in spreads. At June 30, 2021,2022, the modified duration of our fixed income investment portfolio was 4.44.6 years, which means that an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of 100 basis points would result in a change of 4.4%4.6% in the fair value of our fixed income portfolio. For an upward shift in the yield curve, the fair value of our portfolio would decrease and for a downward shift in the yield curve, the fair value would increase. See Note 7 – “Investments” to our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure surrounding our investment portfolio.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 20212022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

DownturnsRisk Factors Relating to the Mortgage Insurance Industry and its Regulation
Changes in the domestic economy or declines in home prices may result in more homeowners defaulting and our losses increasing, with a corresponding decrease in our returns.
Losses result from events that reduce a borrower’s ability or willingness to make mortgage payments, such as unemployment, health issues, family status, and whether the home of a borrower who defaults on a mortgage can be sold for an amount that will cover unpaid principal and interest and the expensesbusiness practices of the sale. A deterioration in economic conditions, including an increase in unemployment, generally increases the likelihoodGSEs, federal legislation that borrowers will not have sufficient income to paychanges their mortgages and can also adversely affect home prices, which in turn can influence the willingness of borrowers with sufficient resources to make mortgage payments when the mortgage balance exceeds the valuecharters or a restructuring of the home. GSEs could reduce our revenues or increase our losses.
The seasonally-adjusted Purchase-Only U.S. Home Price Indexsubstantial majority of our NIW is for loans purchased by the GSEs; therefore, the business practices of the FederalGSEs greatly impact our business. In June 2022 the GSEs each published their Equitable Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”), which is based on single-family properties whose mortgages have been purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, indicates that home prices increased by 7.7%Plans. The Plans seek to advance equity in the first five months of 2021, after increasing by 11.5%, 5.4%, 5.7%housing finance over a three year period and 6.3% in 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The price-to-income ratio in some markets exceeds its historical average, in part as a result of recent home price appreciation outpacing increases in income. Home prices may decline even absent a deterioration in economic conditions due to declines in demand for homes, which in turn may result from changes in buyers’ perceptions of theinclude potential for future appreciation, restrictions on and the cost of mortgage credit due to more stringent underwriting standards, higher interest rates, changes to the tax deductibilityGSEs’ business practices and policies. Specifically relating to mortgage insurance, (1) Fannie Mae’s Plan contemplates the creation of special purchase credit program(s) (SPCPs) targeted to historically underserved borrowers with a goal of lowering costs for such borrowers through lower than standard mortgage interest, decreasesinsurance requirements; and (2) Freddie Mac’s Plan contemplates the creation of SPCPs targeted to historically underserved borrowers with a goal of (a) working with mortgage insurers to reduce costs for high LTV borrowers and (b) updating mortgage insurance cancellation requirements. To the extent the business practices and policies of the GSEs regarding mortgage insurance coverage, costs and cancellation change, including more broadly than through SPCPs, such changes may negatively impact the mortgage insurance industry.
Other GSEs’ business practices that affect the mortgage insurance industry include:
•The GSEs' PMIERs, the financial requirements of which are discussed in our risk factor titled “We may not continue to meet the GSEs’ private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease if we are required to maintain more capital in order to maintain our eligibility.”
•The capital and collateral requirements for participants in the rateGSEs' alternative forms of household formations, or other factors.

Forbearance for federally-insured mortgages (including those delivered to or purchasedthe risk insured by the GSEs) allows for mortgage payments to be suspended for up to 18 months: an initial forbearance period of up to six months; if requested by the borrower following contact by the servicer, an extension of up to six months; and, for loans in a COVID-19 forbearance plan as of February 28, 2021, an additional extension of up to six months, subject to certain limits. The servicer of the loan must begin attempts to contact the borrower no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any forbearance plan term and must continue outreach attempts until appropriate contact is made or the forbearance plan term has expired. In certain circumstances, the servicer will be unable to contact the borrowerinsurer and the forbearance plan will expire afteravailability of mortgage loans.
•The terms on which mortgage insurance coverage can be canceled before reaching the first 180-day plan. A delinquent loan for whichcancellation thresholds established by law and the borrower was unable to be contacted and that is not in a forbearance plan may be more likely to result in a claim than a delinquent loan in a forbearance plan.
Historically, forbearance plans have reduced the incidence of our losses on affected loans. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the long-term economic impact of COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the ultimate effect of COVID-19 related forbearances on our loss incidence. At June 30, 2021, 23,849 of the loans in our delinquency inventory were reported to us as in forbearance. Of the 46,684 loans in our delinquency inventory as of June 30, 2020 that were reported to us as in forbearance, 70.2% are no longer in the default inventory as of June 30, 2021; 22.5% are still in the delinquency inventory and reported to us as in forbearance; and 7.4% are still in the delinquency inventory but no longer reported to us as in forbearance. As of June 30, 2021, 55% of the loans in forbearance have reached the twelve-month anniversary of their forbearance plans, 16% have reached the nine-month anniversary of their forbearance plans, and 11% have reached the six-month anniversary of their forbearance plans. Whether a loan delinquency will cure, including through modification, when forbearance ends will depend on the economic circumstances of the borrower at that time. The severity of lossesbusiness practices associated with delinquencies that do not cure will depend on economic conditions at that time, including home prices.
Foreclosures on mortgages purchased or securitized by the GSEs have been suspended through July 31, 2021. Under a CFPB rule that is generally effective from August 31, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (from July 31, 2021 for servicers of GSE mortgages), with limited exceptions, servicers must ensure that at least one temporary procedural safeguard has been met before referring 120-day delinquent loans for foreclosure.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 64
We are subject to comprehensive regulation and other requirements, which we may fail to satisfy.
We are subject to comprehensive regulation, including by state insurance departments. Many regulations are designed for the protection of our insured policyholders and consumers, rather than for the benefit of investors. Mortgage insurers, including MGIC, have in the past been involved in litigation and regulatory actions related to alleged violations of the anti-referral fee provisions of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA"), and the notice provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). While these proceedings in the aggregate did not result in material liability for MGIC, there can be no assurance that the outcome of future proceedings, if any, under these laws would not have a material adverse effect on us. To the extent that we are construed to make independent credit decisions in connection with our contract underwriting activities, we also could be subject to increased regulatory requirements under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ("ECOA"), FCRA, and other laws. Under ECOA, examination may also be made of whether a mortgage insurer's underwriting decisions have a disparate impact on persons belonging to a protected class in violation of the law.
Although their scope varies, state insurance laws generally grant broad supervisory powers to agencies or officials to examine insurance companies and enforce rules or exercise discretion affecting almost every significant aspect of the insurance business, including payment for the referral of insurance business, premium rates and discrimination in pricing, and minimum capital requirements. The increased use, by the private mortgage insurance industry, of risk-based pricing systems that establish premium rates based on more attributes than previously considered, and of algorithms, artificial intelligence and data and analytics, may lead to additional regulatory scrutiny of premium rates and of other matters such as discrimination in pricing and underwriting, data privacy and access to insurance.cancellations. For more information, about state capital requirements, see the above discussion of the GSEs' Equitable Housing Plans and our risk factor titled “State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis.” For information about regulation of data privacy, see our risk factor titled “We could be adversely affected if personal information on consumers that we maintain is improperly disclosed; our information technology systems are damaged or their operations are interrupted; or our automated processes do not operate as expected.” For more details about the various ways in which our subsidiaries are regulated, see “Business - Regulation” in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
While we have established policies and procedures to comply with applicable laws and regulations, many such laws and regulations are complex and it is not possible to predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome of any reviews or investigations nor is it possible to predict their effect on us or the mortgage insurance industry.

•The programs established by the GSEs intended to avoid or mitigate loss on insured mortgages and the circumstances in which mortgage servicers must implement such programs.
•The terms that the GSEs require to be included in mortgage insurance policies for loans that they purchase, including limitations on the rescission rights of mortgage insurers.
•The extent to which the GSEs intervene in mortgage insurers’ claims paying practices, rescission practices or rescission settlement practices with lenders.
•The maximum loan limits of the GSEs compared to those of the FHA and other investors.
•The benchmarks established by the FHFA for loans to be purchased by the GSEs, which can affect the loans available to be insured. In December 2021, the FHFA established the benchmark levels for 2022-2024 purchases of low-income home mortgages, very low-income home mortgages and low-income refinance mortgages, each of which exceeded the 2021 benchmarks. The FHFA also established two new sub-goals: one targeting minority communities and the other targeting low-income neighborhoods.

residential housing finance system through the length of time insurance remains in force, which is generally measured by persistency (the percentage of our insurance remaining in force from one year prior), is a significant determinant of our revenues. A higher than expected persistency rate may decrease the profitability from single premium policies because they will remain in force longer andGSE conservatorship may increase the incidencelikelihood that the business practices of the GSEs change, including through administrative action, in ways that have a material adverse effect on us and that the charters of the GSEs are changed by new federal legislation.
It is uncertain what role the GSEs, FHA and private capital, including private mortgage insurance, will play in the residential housing finance system in the future. The timing and impact on our business of any resulting changes are uncertain. Many of the proposed changes would require Congressional action to implement and it is difficult to estimate when Congressional action would be final and how long any associated phase-in period may last.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Business Generally
We are subject to the risk of legal proceedings.
Before paying an insurance claim, generally we review the loan and servicing files to determine the appropriateness of the claim amount. When reviewing the files, we may determine that we have the right to rescind coverage or deny a claim on the loan (both referred to herein as “rescissions”). In addition, our insurance policies generally provide that we can reduce a claim if the servicer did not comply with its obligations under our insurance policy (such reduction referred to as a “curtailment”). In recent years, an immaterial percentage of claims than was estimated whenreceived have been resolved by rescissions. In the policies were written. A low persistency rate on monthly premium policies will reduce future premiums but may also reducefirst half of 2022 and in 2021, curtailments reduced our average claim paid by approximately 5.3% and 4.4%, respectively. The COVID-19-related foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans decreased our claims paid activity beginning in the incidencesecond quarter of claims, while a high persistency on those policies will increase future premiums but may increase the incidence of claims.
Our persistency rate was 57.1% at June 30, 2021, 60.5% at December 31, 2020 and 75.8% at December 31, 2019. Since 2000, our year-end persistency ranged from a high of 84.7% at December 31, 20092020. It is difficult to a low of 47.1% at December 31, 2003. Our persistency rate is primarily affected bypredict the level of current mortgage interestcurtailments once foreclosure activity returns to a more typical level. Our loss reserving methodology incorporates our estimates of future rescissions, curtailments, and reversals of rescissions and curtailments. A variance between ultimate actual rescission, curtailment and reversal rates compared to the mortgage coupon rates onand our insurance in force, which affects the vulnerabilityestimates, as a result of the insuranceoutcome of litigation, settlements or other factors, could materially affect our losses.
When the insured disputes our right to rescind coverage or curtail claims, we generally engage in forcediscussions in an attempt to refinancing; andsettle the current amountdispute. If we are unable to reach a settlement, the outcome of equity that borrowers have in the homes underlying our insurance in force. Borrowers with significant equitya dispute ultimately may be able to refinance their loans without requiringdetermined by legal proceedings. Under ASC 450-20, until a loss associated with settlement discussions or legal proceedings becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated, we consider our claim payment or rescission resolved for financial reporting purposes and do not accrue an estimated loss. When we determine that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record our best estimate of our probable loss. In those cases, until settlement negotiations or legal proceedings are concluded (including the receipt of any necessary GSE approvals), it is possible that we will record an additional loss.
We are monitoring litigation that involves refunds of mortgage insurance. In addition,insurance premiums under the Homeowners Protection Act (“HOPA”) requires servicersAct. In one case, we expect to cancel mortgage insurance whenbe named as a borrower’s LTV ratio meets or is scheduledthird-party defendant. We are unable to meet certain levels, generallyassess the potential impact of any such litigation at this time. In addition, from time to time, we are involved in other disputes and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, based on the original valuefacts known at this time, the ultimate resolution of the homethese ordinary course disputes and subject to various conditions. The GSEs’ mortgage insurance cancellation guidelines may be more flexible than HOPA and they consider
legal proceedings will not have a home’s current value.material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
The mix of business we write affects our Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs, our premium yields and the likelihood of losses occurring.
The Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs are, in part, a function of the direct risk-in-force and the risk profile of the loans we insure, considering LTV ratio, credit score, vintage, Home Affordable Refinance Program ("HARP") status and delinquency status; and whether the loans were insured under lender-paid mortgage insurance policies or other policies that are not subject to automatic termination consistent with the Homeowners Protection Act requirements for borrower-paid mortgage insurance. Therefore, if our direct risk-in-force increases through increases in NIW, or if our mix of business changes to include loans with higher LTV ratios or lower FICO scores, for example, all other things equal, we will be required to hold more Available Assets in order to maintain GSE eligibility.
The minimum capital required by the risk-based capital framework contained in the exposure draft released by the
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 65
NAIC in December 2019 would be, in part, a function of certain loan and economic factors, including property location, LTV ratio and credit score;score, general underwriting quality in the market at the time of loan origination;origination, the age of the loan;loan, and the premium rate we charge. Depending on the provisions of the capital requirements when they are released in final form and become effective, our mix of business may affect the minimum capital we are required to hold under the new framework.
The percentage of our NIW from all single-premium policies was 8%5.1% in the first half of 20212022 and 9%7.4% in 2020full year 2021, and has ranged from approximately 8%5.1% in 20212022 to 19%19.0% in 2017. Depending on the actual life of a single premium policy and its premium rate relative to that of a monthly premium policy, a single premium policy may generate more or less premium than a monthly premium policy over its life.
As discussed in our risk factor titled "Reinsurance may not always be available or affordable,its cost may increase," we have in place various QSR transactions. Although the transactions reduce our premiums, they have a lesser impact on our overall results, as losses ceded under the transactions reduce our losses incurred and the ceding commissions we receive reduce our underwriting expenses. The effect of the QSR transactions on the various components of pre-tax income will vary from period to period, depending on the level of ceded losses.losses incurred. We also have in place various excess-of-loss ("XOL")XOL reinsurance transactions, under which we cede premiums. Under the XOL reinsurance transactions, for the respective reinsurance coverage periods, we retain the first layer of aggregate losses, and a special purpose entity providesthe reinsurers provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount.
In addition to the effect of reinsurance on our premiums, we expect a decline in our premium yield because an increasing percentage of our insurance in force is from recent book years whose premium rates had been trending lower.
Our ability to rescind insurance coverage became more limited for new insurance written beginning in mid-2012, and it became further limited for new insurance written under our revised master policy that became effective March 1, 2020. These limitations may result in higher losses paid than would be the case under our previous master policies. In addition, our
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2022 | 61
rescission rights temporarily have become more limited due to accommodations we have made in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. We have waived our rescission rights in certain circumstances where the failure to make payments was associated with a COVID-19 pandemic-related forbearance.
From time to time, in response to market conditions, we change the types of loans that we insure. We also may change our underwriting guidelines, in partincluding by agreeing with certain approval recommendations from a GSE automated underwriting system. In the second quarter of 2022, Fannie Mae indicated that as a part of normal operations and prudent risk management, it would update its automated underwriting system's risk and eligibility assessment in response to changing market conditions. That update may yield a reduction in loan case files receiving an "Approve/Eligible" recommendation from such system. We also make exceptions to our underwriting requirements on a loan-by-loan basis and for certain customer programs. Our underwriting requirements are available on our website at http://www.mgic.com/underwriting/index.html.
Even when home prices are stable or rising, mortgages with certain characteristics have higher probabilities of claims. As of June 30, 2021,2022, mortgages with these characteristics in our primary risk in force included mortgages with LTV ratios greater than 95% (14.7%(15.1%), mortgages with borrowers having FICO scores below 680 (8.6%(7.3%), including those with borrowers having FICO scores of 620-679 (7.3%(6.4%), mortgages with limited underwriting, including limited borrower documentation (1.2%(0.9%), and mortgages with borrowers having DTI ratios greater than 45% (or where no ratio is available) (13.3%(14.5%), each attribute as determined at the time of loan origination. Loans with more than one of these attributes accounted for 2.3%4.4% of our primary risk in force as of June 30, 2021,2022, and 3.3% of our NIW in the first half of 2022 and less than one percent of our NIW in the first half of 2021 and in 2020.2021. When home prices increase, interest rates increase and/or the percentage of our NIW from purchase transactions increases, our NIW on mortgages with higher LTV ratios and higher DTI ratios may increase. Our NIW on mortgages with LTV ratios greater than 95% increased from 10% in the first half of 2021 to 13% in the first half of 2022 and our NIW on mortgages with DTI ratios greater than 45% increased from 13% in the first half of 2021 to 19% in the first half of 2022.
From time to time, we change the processes we use to underwrite loans. For example,example: we may rely on information provided to us by a lenderlenders that was obtained from certain of the GSEs’ automated appraisal and income verification tools. Those tools, which may produce results that differ from the results that would have been determined using different methods. For example,methods; we accept GSE appraisal waivers for certain refinance loans, the numbers of which have increased significantly beginning in 2020 and remain elevated; and we accept GSE appraisal flexibilities that allow property valuations in certain transactions to be based on appraisals that do not involve an onsite or interior inspection of the property. Our acceptance of automated GSE appraisal and income verification tools, GSE appraisal waivers and GSE appraisal flexibilities may indicate property values that differ from the values that would have been determined by onsite appraisals. In addition, weaffect our pricing and risk assessment. We also continue to further automate our underwriting processes. Itprocesses and it is possible that our automated processes result in our insuring loans that we would not otherwise have insured under our prior processes. In addition, the number of refinance loans receiving appraisal waivers from the GSEs increased significantly beginning in 2020 and temporary policies adopted by the GSEs in response to COVID-19, which we follow, allow for property valuations in certain transactions to be based on appraisals that do not involve an onsite or interior property inspection of the property. Our acceptance of GSE appraisal waivers and appraisal flexibilities may affect our pricing and risk assessment.
Approximately 72.1%73% of our first half 2021 NIW2022 and 70.2%72% of our 20202021 NIW (by risk written) was originated under delegated underwriting programs pursuant to which the loan originators had authority on our
behalf to underwrite the loans for our mortgage insurance. For loans originated through a delegated underwriting program, we depend on the originators' compliance with our guidelines and rely on the originators' representations that the loans being insured satisfy the underwriting guidelines, eligibility criteria and other requirements. While we have established systems and processes to monitor whether certain aspects of our underwriting guidelines were being followed by the originators, such systems may not ensure that the guidelines were being strictly followed at the time the loans were originated.
The widespread use of risk-based pricing systems by the private mortgage insurance industry (discussed in our risk factor titled "Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our revenues, reduce our premium yields and / or increase our losses") makes it more difficult to compare our premium rates to those offered by our competitors. We may not be aware of industry rate changes until we observe that our mix of new insurance written has changed and our mix may fluctuate more as a result.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 2021 | 66
If state or federal regulations or statutes are changed in ways that ease mortgage lending standards and/or requirements, or if lenders seek ways to replace business in times of lower mortgage originations, it is possible that more mortgage loans could be originated with higher risk characteristics than are currently being originated, such as loans with lower FICO scores and higher DTI ratios. The focus of the new FHFA leadership on increasing homeownership opportunities for borrowers is likely to have this effect. Lenders could pressure mortgage insurers to insure such loans, which are expected to experience higher claim rates. Although we attempt to incorporate these higher expected claim rates into our underwriting and pricing models, there can be no assurance that the premiums earned and the associated investment income will be adequate to compensate for actual losses paid even under our current underwriting requirements.

(1)In October 2021, we had approximately $772 million in cash and investments at our holding company and our holding company’s debt obligations were $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount, consistingBoard of $242 million of 5.75% Senior Notes due in 2023 ("5.75% Notes"), $650 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2028 (the 5.25% Notes), and $209 million of 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due in 2063 ("9% Debentures"). Annual debt service on the 5.75% Notes, 5.25% Notes and 9% Debentures outstandingDirectors authorized a share repurchase program under which as of June 30, 2021, is approximately $70 million.
The 5.75% Senior Notes, 5.25% Senior Notes and 9% Debentures are obligations of our holding company, MGIC Investment Corporation, and not of its subsidiaries. The payment of dividends from our insurance subsidiaries which, other than investment income and raising capital in the public markets, is the principal source of our holding company cash inflow, is restricted by insurance regulation. In addition, through September 30, 2021, dividends paid by MGIC2022, we may repurchase up to our holding company require GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 50% of its Minimum Required Assets; and from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 such dividends require GSE approval if MGIC's excess of Available Assets is or would become less than 15% of its Minimum Required Assets. MGIC is the principal source of dividends. In the first quarter of 2020, MGIC paid a total of $390 million in dividends of cash and investments to our holding company. We ask the OCI not to object before MGIC pays dividends and, due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, MGIC did not pay dividends of cash and/or investment securities to the holding company from the second quarter of 2020 through the second quarter of 2021; however, in the third quarter of 2020, MGIC distributed to the holding company, as a dividend, its ownership in $133an additional $278 million of the 9% Debentures, with a fair value of $167 million and in August 2021, MGIC paid a $150 million cash dividend to the holding company. GSE approval was not required for the August 2021 dividend. Future dividend payments from MGIC to the holding company will be determined in consultation with the board of directors, and after considering any updated estimates about the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
In 2020, we issued the 5.25% Senior Notes and used a portion of the proceeds to repurchase $183 million of our 5.75%
Senior Notes and $48 million of our 9% Debentures. We may, from time to time, repurchase our debt obligations on the open market (including through 10b5-1 plans) or through privately negotiated transactions.
In 2020 we repurchased approximately 9.6 million shares of our common stock, using approximately $120 million of holding company resources. As of June 30, 2021, we had $291 million of authorization remaining to repurchase our common stock through the end of 2021 under a share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in January 2020.2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market (including through 10b5-1 plans) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. Due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we had temporarily suspended stock repurchases but intend to resume them in the third quarter. If any additional capital contributions to our subsidiaries were required, such contributions would decrease our holding company cash and investments. As described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 11, 2016, MGIC borrowed $155 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. This is an obligation of MGIC and not of our holding company.
We could be adversely affected if personal information on consumers that we maintain is improperly disclosed, our information technology systems are damaged or their operations are interrupted, or our automated processes do not operate as expected.
As part of our business, we maintain large amounts of personal information of consumers. Federal and state laws designed to promote the protection of such information require businesses that collect or maintain consumer information to adopt information security programs, and to notify individuals, and in some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities, of security breaches involving personally identifiable information. Those laws may require free credit monitoring services to be provided to individuals affected by security breaches. While we have information security policies and systems in place to prevent unauthorized disclosure, there can be no assurance that unauthorized disclosure, either through the actions of third parties or employees, will not occur. Unauthorized disclosure could adversely affect our reputation, result in a loss of business and expose us to material claims for damages.
We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems. All information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including by third-party cyber attacks, including those involving ransomware. Due to our reliance on information technology systems, including ours and those of our customers and third-party service providers, their damage or interruption could adversely affect our reputation and severely disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, business prospects and results of operations.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company transitioned to a primarily virtual workforce model and will likely continue to operate under a hybrid model in the future.
MGIC Investment Corporation - Q2 20212022 | 67
Virtual and hybrid workforce models may be more vulnerable to security breaches.
We are in the process of upgrading certain of our information systems, and transforming and automating certain of our business processes, and we continue to enhance our risk-based pricing system and our system for evaluating risk. Certain of our information systems have been in place for a number of years and it has become increasingly difficult to support their operation. The implementation of technological and business process improvements, as well as their integration with customer and third-party systems when applicable, is complex, expensive and time consuming. If we fail to timely and successfully implement and integrate the new technology systems, if the third party providers to which we are becoming increasingly reliant do not perform as expected, if our legacy systems fail to operate as required, or if the upgraded systems and/or transformed and automated business processes do not operate as expected, it could have an adverse impact on our business, business prospects and results of operations.
