FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

our ability to fully implement our strategic plan;

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

the impact on our insured portfolios or business operations caused by the global spread of the novel coronavirus

COVID-19;

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

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

The above factors provide a summary of and are qualified in their entirety by the risk factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Other Information, Item 1A included in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q. ~~In addition, refer~~

The Company encourages readers to ~~“Note 1: Business Developments and Risk and Uncertainties”~~review these risk factors in ~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain risks and uncertainties related to our financial statements.~~their entirety.

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

Business Developments

Puerto Rico

On January 1, ~~2021 and July 1, 2021,~~2022, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and certain of its instrumentalities (“Puerto Rico”) defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross ~~claim payments~~claims in the aggregate of ~~$277~~ $47

million. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, National had ~~$2.9~~

2.1 billion of debt service outstanding related to Puerto Rico. ~~Refer to the “Risks and Uncertainties” section below for additional information~~

In addition, on ~~the Company’s~~July 1, 2022, Puerto Rico ~~exposures.~~defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $142 million, which decreased the $2.1 billion of debt service outstanding related to Puerto Rico.

PREPA ~~RSA~~

~~In September of 2019, National agreed to join~~

On March 8, 2022, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”) and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) terminated the restructuring support agreement, as amended (“RSA”)~~, with~~. On April 8, 2022, the ~~Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), other monoline insurers,~~Court appointed a ~~group~~new panel of ~~uninsured PREPA bondholders, Puerto Rico, and~~judges to commence mediation among the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), the Ad Hoc creditor group as holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and Syncora (the “April 8 Order”). The ~~Rule 9019 hearing to approve~~mediation deadline is currently August 15, 2022. The April 8 Order further provides that nothing therein acts as a stay of any pending adversary proceedings or contested matters in the ~~RSA has been delayed several times, and most recently was adjourned due~~PREPA case, subject to the ~~outbreak~~Court’s pending request to the Oversight Board for a status report by August 15, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, National has sold approximately 35% of its PREPA bankruptcy claims related to insurance claims paid on matured National-insured PREPA bonds. These sales monetized a portion of National’s salvage asset and reduced potential volatility and ongoing risk of remediation around the ~~novel coronavirus~~

~~COVID-19~~PREPA credit.

~~(“COVID-19”)~~

until further notice. The debt restructuring contemplated by the RSA will not be effective until (i) confirmation of a plan of adjustment under the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”), (ii) negotiation and consummation of definitive documentation and legal opinions, (iii) enactment and implementation of supportive Puerto Rico legislation and (iv) receipt of Puerto Rico regulatory approval, each of which outcome is uncertain and subject to varying degrees of risk.

GO ~~PSA~~ and HTA ~~PSA~~

On February 22, 2021, National agreed to join a plan support agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021 (the “GO PSA”), among the Oversight Board, certain holders of Puerto Rico Commonwealth GO (“GO”) Bonds and ~~PBA~~Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority (“PBA”) Bonds, Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp, and Syncora Guarantee Inc. in connection with the GO and PBA Title III cases. The Commonwealth Plan of Adjustment was confirmed on January 18, 2022. The GO PSA ~~provides that,~~was effective and implemented on March 15, 2022, and among other things, National ~~shall receive a pro rata share of allocable~~received cash, including certain fees, newly issued General Obligation bonds and a contingent value instrument (“CVI”) totaling approximately $1.0

billion.

The CVI is intended to provide creditors with additional recoveries based on potential outperformance of Puerto Rico 5.5% Sales and Use Tax receipts based on the projections in the 2020 certified fiscal plan, subject to certain ~~fees. The GO PSA also permitted National~~caps.

Subsequent to ~~terminate its participation in~~ the GO PSA ~~on or prior~~implementation, National made $277

million of acceleration and commutation payments pursuant to ~~March 31, 2021, which date was ultimately extended~~the GO PSA. Accordingly, National’s GO and PBA gross par outstanding and debt service outstanding have been reduced to ~~May 5, 2021.~~ 0from approximately $380

million and $495

million, respectively.

On April 12, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board reached an agreement in principle settling certain clawback claims and providing for a distribution of cash, bonds and a ~~contingent value instrument~~CVI to ~~bondholders in the~~ Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (“HTA”) ~~Title III case~~bondholders subject to completing negotiations on a plan support agreement in respect of ~~an HTA~~a plan of adjustment (the “HTA PSA”). On May 5, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board entered into the HTA PSA. ~~The~~On May 2, 2022, the Oversight Board has committed to filing a plan of adjustment for HTA by January 31, 2022. The GO PSA contemplates a Commonwealth plan becoming effective on or before December 15, 2021. Pursuant to the GO PSA, the Oversight

~~Board and National~~

~~obtained the entry of an order in~~filed the Title III ~~court staying National’s participation in actions related~~Plan of Adjustment for the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (the “HTA Plan”), together with the Disclosure Statement and supporting documents. On June 22, 2022, the Disclosure Statement was approved by the Court. Confirmation is scheduled for August 17 and 18, 2022. During July of 2022, National received

$33 million

of cash and

$358

million face amount of CVI relating to HTA. In addition, National expects to receive

additional cash and

newly issued

HTA bonds, or cash equal to the ~~clawback~~face amount of the newly issued HTA ~~funds from~~bonds, following the ~~Commonwealth, and National shall take no further action with respect to those proceedings, including~~effective date of the ~~Section 926 appeal before the First Circuit Court of Appeals, subject to the Commonwealth plan becoming effective.~~HTA Plan.

On May 11, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Third Amended Title III Joint Plan of Adjustment and Disclosure Statement for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. On June 29, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Fourth Amended Title III Joint Plan and Disclosure Statement for the Commonwealth, and on July 12, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Fifth Amended Title III Plan of Adjustment and Disclosure Statement, incorporating certain changes and agreements in connection with the disclosure statement objections. The Disclosure Statement hearing began on July 13, 2021, and on July 14, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court (i) continued the hearing until July 27, 2021 for the sole purpose of considering a possible settlement of objections by Ambac Assurance Corporation and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, and (ii) overruled all other objections to the Disclosure Statement but required the Oversight Board to include certain additional disclosure on financial and legislative risks. The Court also approved confirmation procedures, subject to the approval of the Disclosure Statement at the continued hearing, including commencing the confirmation hearing on November 8, 2021 and concluding on November 23, 2021. On July 27, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Sixth Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement, and on July 29, 2021 the Court approved the amended Disclosure Statement for distribution to claimholders of record.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

~~COVID-19~~

The distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has led to material decreases in the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, and as a result many states and local governments have eased or eliminated restrictions on gatherings, businesses and travel. Nevertheless, the current and longer-term impacts of the virus, including those caused by certain new strains, continues to remain uncertain. In addition, the attendant governmental policy and social responses, and economic and financial consequences, continue to be the subject of considerable attention.

National’s Insured ~~portfolios~~

The Company continues to assess the financial impact of the pandemic on its operating insurance companies’ overall insured portfolios. Adverse developments on macroeconomic factors resulting from the spread of COVID-19, including without limitation reduced economic activity and certainty, increased unemployment, increased loan defaults or delinquencies, and increased stress on municipal budgets, including due to reduced tax revenues and the ability to raise taxes or limit spending, could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Company’s insured portfolios. The impact of the pandemic on the Company’s financial guarantee credits varies based on the nature of the taxes, fees and revenues pledged to debt repayment and their sensitivity to the related slowdown in economic activity. The duration of the pandemic, the efficacy of vaccines, spending of federal aid to state and local governments, and the breadth and speed of economic recovery will determine the economic stress incurred by the credits in the Company’s insured portfolios. Further, any economic impact that may result from the pandemic and its aftermath could present additional but yet unknown credit risks to the Company’s insured portfolios.

~~COVID-19~~

related expenditures of public sector issuers including states, territories, healthcare, higher education and transportation issuers. Also, the Federal Reserve has shown willingness to promote the stability of the financial system that

directly supportive of the municipal market, such as the Municipal Lending Facility created in 2020. In March of 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package designed to further stabilize the financial system. This law allocated nearly $350 billion of aid to state and local governments to replace lost revenues resulting from the pandemic with relatively few restrictions on use of said funds. While the unprecedented amount of federal aid directed to state and local municipalities has blunted the impact of the pandemic, not all of the issuers of the obligations in National’s insured portfolio are eligible to receive it. Further, if issuers are unable to raise taxes, reduce spending, or receive federal assistance, the Company may experience new or additional losses or impairments on those obligations, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and financial results.

Certain of MBIA Corp.’s structured finance policies, including those in which the underlying principal obligations are comprised of residential or commercial mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), could be negatively impacted by delays or failures of borrowers to make payments of principal and interest when due, or delays or moratoriums on foreclosures or enforcement actions with respect to delinquent or defaulted mortgages imposed by governmental authorities. MBIA Corp. has recorded significant loss reserves on its residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) exposures, and there can be no assurance that these reserves will be sufficient if the pandemic causes further deterioration to the economy. These transactions are also subject to servicer risks, which relate to problems with the transaction’s servicer that could adversely impact performance of the underlying assets. Additionally, several of the Company’s credits, particularly within its international public finance sector, feature large, near term debt-service payments, and there can be no assurance that the liquidity position of MBIA Corp. will enable it to satisfy any claims that arise if the issuers of such credits are unable or unwilling to refinance or repay their obligations. MBIA Corp. has recorded expected recoveries on certain RMBS transactions, and the forbearance options that mortgage borrowers who were facing financial difficulties took advantage of under the CARES Act may delay or impair collections on these recoveries.

~~Liquidity~~

~~COVID-19~~

require additional eligible assets to be pledged in order to meet minimum required collateral amounts against these obligations. This could require the Company to sell assets, potentially with substantial losses or use free cash or other assets to meet the collateral requirements, thus negatively impacting the Company’s liquidity position. Associated declines in the yields in its insurance companies’ fixed-income portfolios could materially impact investment income.

~~U.S. Public Finance Market Conditions~~Portfolio

National continues to monitor and remediate its existing insured portfolio and may also pursue strategic alternatives that could enhance shareholder value. Certain state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are under financial and budgetary stress. This could lead to an increase in defaults by such entities on the payment of their obligations and losses or impairments on a greater number of National’s insured transactions. In particular, HTA and PREPA are currently in bankruptcy-like proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, pursuant to PROMESA. Since 2016, Puerto Rico has been unable or unwilling to pay its obligations as and when due, and National has been required to pay claims of unpaid principal and interest when due under its insurance policies as a consequence. Puerto Rico may continue to fail to make payments when due, which could cause National to make additional claims payments which could be material. While National will seek to recover any claim payments it makes under its guarantees, there is no assurance that it will be able to recover such payments. National monitors and analyzes these situations and other stressed credits closely, and the overall extent and duration of this stress is uncertain.

MBIA Corp.’s Insured Portfolio

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

Zohar and RMBS Recoveries

Payment of claims on MBIA Corp.’s policies insuring the

Class A-1

and

A-2

notes issued by Zohar CDO

2003-1,

Limited (“Zohar I”) and Zohar II

2005-1,

Limited (“Zohar II”), entitles MBIA Corp. to reimbursement of such amounts plus interest and expenses and/or to exercise certain rights and remedies to seek recovery of such amounts. MBIA Corp. anticipates that it will receive substantial recoveries on the ~~primary source~~loans made to, and equity interests in, companies that, until late March of 2020, were purportedly controlled and managed by the sponsor and former collateral manager of the Zohar collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) referenced above (collectively, the “Zohar Collateral”). Since March of 2018, MBIA Corp. has been pursuing those recoveries in a Delaware bankruptcy proceeding filed by the Zohar CDOs. Pursuant to a plan of liquidation confirmed in such bankruptcy proceeding regarding the Zohar CDOs and the remaining Zohar Collateral not previously monetized, which plan of liquidation became effective on August 2, 2022, MBIA Corp.’s rights to recoveries from any remaining Zohar Collateral were distributed to MBIA Corp. in the form of beneficial interests in certain asset recovery entities, which will ~~come from~~be managed by a special manager subject to oversight by MBIA Corp. and another former Zohar creditor. There still remains significant uncertainty with respect to the realizable value of the remaining loans and equity interests that formerly constituted the Zohar Collateral and that comprise the assets of the asset recovery entities. Further, as the monetization of these assets unfolds in coordination with the ~~assets of Zohar I and Zohar II (the “Zohar Assets”), but there can be no assurance that the monetization~~special manager of the ~~Zohar Assets will yield amounts sufficient to permit MBIA Corp. to recover a substantial portion of~~asset recovery entities and the ~~payments it made on Zohar I~~directors and ~~Zohar II. In particular, as~~managers in place at the ~~monetization process unfolds~~portfolio companies, and new information concerning the financial condition of the portfolio companies ~~which comprise a significant portion of the Zohar Assets~~ is disclosed, the Company ~~may~~will continue to revise its expectations for recoveries. For example, at a June 3, 2020 hearing, counsel for one of the portfolio companies announced that the monetization process for that company would be delayed as a consequence of having to investigate issues relating to the integrity of the company’s financial statements.

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

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

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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

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

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

Corporate Liquidity

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

ethe reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts become determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The December 31, ~~2020~~2021 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods.

Investments

The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale (“AFS”), held-to-maturity (“HTM”), or trading. AFS investments are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with non-credit related unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in shareholders’ equity. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on AFS securities. Investments carried at fair value consist of equity instruments, investments elected under the fair value option, and investments classified as trading. Short-term investments include all fixed-maturity securities held as AFS with a remaining maturity of less than one year at the date of purchase, including commercial paper and money market securities.

Changes in the fair values of investments carried at fair value are reflected in earnings as part of “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. For fixed-maturity securities classified as trading and for VIE investments carried at fair value, interest income is also recorded as part of fair value changes within “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange”. Realized gains and losses from the sale and other dispositions of AFS investments are reflected in earnings as part of “Net realized investment gains (losses)” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Note 2:

ignificant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment income is recorded as earned which includes the current period interest accruals deemed collectible. Accrued interest income is recorded as part of “Other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective yield method over the remaining term of the securities and reported in “Net investment income” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. However, premiums on certain callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date. For MBS and asset-backed securities (“ABS”), discounts and premiums are amortized using the retrospective or prospective method.

Accrued interest income on debt securities is not assessed for credit losses since the Company reverses any past due accrued interest income through earnings as a charge against net investment income. Interest income is subsequently recognized to the extent cash is received.

Credit Losses on Debt Securities

For AFS debt securities, the Company’s consolidated statements of operations reflect the full impairment (the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and fair value) if the Company intends to sell or would more likely than not be required to sell before the expected recovery of the amortized cost basis. AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if credit losses exist. The Company considers that credit losses exist when the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security. The Company measures an allowance for credit losses on a security-by-security basis as the difference between the recorded investment and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the instrument’s effective interest rate. Only the amounts of impairment associated with the credit losses are recognized as charges to earnings

The carrying values of debt securities are presented net of any allowance for credit losses. For AFS debt securities, adjustments to the amortized cost basis are recorded if there is an intent to sell before recovery of the impairment. For debt securities with an allowance for credit loss, changes in credit losses including accretion of the allowance for credit losses are recognized in earnings through other net realized gains (losses) with a corresponding change to the allowance for credit losses.

Note 4: Variable Interest Entities

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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

~~MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~Note 4: Variable Interest Entities (continued)~~

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

Consolidated VIEs

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs were ~~$218~~$149 million and ~~$450~~$217 million, respectively, as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$830~~$169 million and ~~$623~~$291 million, respectively, as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are presented separately in “Assets of consolidated variable interest entities” and “Liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. VIEs are consolidated or deconsolidated based on an ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest, when events occur or circumstances arise, and whether the ability to exercise rights that constitute power to direct activities of any VIEs are present according to the design and characteristics of these entities. In the second quarter of 2022, there was

consolidation or deconsolidation of VIEs by the Company. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company deconsolidated 2two structured finance VIEs due to the prepayment of the outstanding notes of the VIEs and recorded losses of $5 million primarily due to credit losses in AOCI that were released to earnings. InDuring the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, there ~~was~~were 0 consolidation or deconsolidation of VIEs by the Company. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company deconsolidated 1 structured finance VIE due to the prepayment of the outstanding notes of the VIE. Also in the first quarter of 2020, the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”) Trusts established in 2019 (the “Trusts”) were legally dissolved and the 7 related VIEs were deconsolidated. There was 0 impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of 2020 due to the deconsolidation of these VIEs. Consolidation and deconsolidation gains and losses, if any, are recorded within “Other net realized gains (losses)” under “Revenues of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

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

Nonconsolidated VIEs

The following tables present the Company’s maximum exposure to loss for nonconsolidated VIEs and carrying values of the assets and liabilities for its interests in these VIEs in its insurance operations as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of MBIA’s variable interests in VIEs is represented by insurance in force. Insurance in force is the maximum future payments of principal and interest which may be required under commitments to make payments on insured obligations issued by nonconsolidated VIEs. The Company has aggregated nonconsolidated VIEs based on the underlying credit exposure of the insured obligation. The nature of the Company’s variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs is related to financial guarantees and any investments in obligations issued by nonconsolidated VIEs.

U.S. Public Finance Insurance

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

tax-exempt

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

~~Certain state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are under financial and budgetary stress. In addition, the~~

~~COVID-19~~

~~pandemic may present additional but unknown credit risks to National’s insured portfolio.~~

Puerto Rico ~~had been experiencing significant fiscal stress and constrained liquidity, and in response, the U.S. Congress passed PROMESA.~~

In formulating loss reserves for its Puerto Rico exposures, the Company considers the following: environmental and political ~~impacts; litigation;~~impacts on the island; litigation and ongoing discussions with ~~creditors;~~creditors on the Title III proceedings; timing and amount of debt service payments and future recoveries; existing proposed restructuring plans or agreements; and deviations from these proposals in its probability-weighted scenarios. On April 12, 2021, National, other monoline insurers and the Oversight Board reached an agreement in principle settling certain HTA clawback claims in the Commonwealth Title III case and providing for a distribution to HTA holders of cash, bonds and a contingent value instrument and on February 22, 2021, National agreed to join the GO PSA. In September of 2019, National agreed to join the RSA with PREPA, other monoline insurers, a group of uninsured PREPA bondholders, Puerto Rico, and the Oversight Board. Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” for further information onscenarios

~~COVID-19~~

~~and the Company’s Puerto Rico exposures.~~

~~Recoveries on Puerto Rico Losses~~.

For recoveries on paid Puerto Rico losses, the estimates include assumptions related to the following: economic conditions and trends; political developments; the Company’s ability to enforce contractual rights through litigation and otherwise; discussions with other creditors and the obligors, any existing proposals; and the remediation strategy for an insured obligation that has defaulted or is expected

default.

~~International and Structured Finance Insurance~~

The international and structured finance insurance segment’s case basis reserves and insurance loss recoveries recorded in accordance with GAAP do not include financial guarantee VIEs that are eliminated in consolidation. In addition,

~~COVID-19~~

~~may present additional but unknown credit risks to MBIA Corp.’s insured portfolio. Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” for further information on~~

As part of the GO PSA, in March of 2022, National received certain consideration including cash, bonds and CVI. During July of 2022, in accordance with the HTA PSA, National received cash and CVI related to HTA. In addition, National expects to receive additional cash and newly issued HTA bonds, or cash equal to the face amount of the newly issued HTA bonds, following the effective date of the HTA Plan. The ultimate recovery value to National will depend on the value of these assets upon issuance and over time. Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” for further information on the Company’s Puerto Rico exposures and “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” for information on the Company’s Puerto Rico litigation.

International and Structured Finance Insurance

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

RMBS Case Basis Reserves (Financial Guarantees)

The Company’s ~~RMBS reserves and recoveries relate to financial guarantee insurance policies, excluding those on consolidated VIEs. The Company’s first-lien~~ RMBS case basis reserves primarily relate to RMBS backed by alternative

A-paper

and subprime mortgage loans. The ~~Company’s second-lien RMBS case basis reserves relate to RMBS backed by home equity lines of credit and~~

~~closed-end~~

~~second mortgages. The~~ Company calculated RMBS case basis reserves as of June 30, ~~2021 for both first and second-lien RMBS transactions~~2022 using a process called the Roll Rate Methodology (“Roll Rate Methodology”). The Roll Rate Methodology is a multi-step process using databases of loan level information, proprietary internal cash flow models, and commercially available models to estimate potential losses and recoveries on insured bonds. Roll Rate is defined as the probability that current loans become delinquent and subsequently default and loans in the delinquent pipeline are

charged-off

or liquidated. The loss reserve estimates are based on a probability-weighted average of potential scenarios of loan losses. Additional data used for both ~~second~~first and ~~first-liens~~second-lien loans include historic averages of deal specific voluntary prepayment rates, forward projections of the LIBOR interest rates, and historic averages of deal-specific loss severities. ~~In addition, for second-lien RMBS backed by home equity lines of credit, the Company assumes a constant basis spread between Prime and LIBOR interest rates.~~ Where applicable, the Company factors in termination scenarios when clean up calls are imminent.

In calculating ultimate cumulative losses for RMBS, the Company estimates the amount of first-lien loans that are expected to be liquidated in the future through foreclosure or short sale, and estimates, the amount of second-lien loans that are expected to be

charged-off

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

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

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

RMBS Recoveries

The Company’s RMBS recoveries ~~primarily~~ relate to ~~excess spread~~structural features within the trust structures that isallow for the Company to be reimbursed for prior claims paid. These reimbursements for specific trusts include recoveries that are generated from the ~~trust structures in~~excess spread of the insured transactions and second-lien “put-back” claims related to those mortgage loans whose inclusion in an insured securitization failed to comply with representations and warranties (“ineligible loans”). The Company had settled all of its put-back claims relating to the inclusion of ineligible loans in securitizations it insured. See “Second-lien Put-Back Claims Related to Ineligible Loans” below.

~~Excess Spread~~

transactions. Excess spread within insured RMBS securitizations is the difference between interest inflows on mortgage loan collateral and interest outflows on the insured RMBS notes. ~~The aggregate amount of excess spread depends on the future loss trends, which include future delinquency trends, average time to~~

~~charge-off/liquidate~~

delinquent loans, the future spread between Prime and the LIBOR interest rates, and borrower refinancing behavior (which may be affected by changes in the interest rate environment) that results in voluntary prepayments. Excess spread also includes subsequent recoveries on previously

~~charged-off~~

~~loans associated with insured second-lien RMBS securitizations.~~

~~Second-lien~~

~~Put-Back~~

~~Claims Related to Ineligible Loans~~

~~During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Credit Suisse related to its~~

~~put-back~~

claims. In the litigation brought to pursue these claims, Credit Suisse had challenged the Company’s assessment of the ineligibility of individual mortgage loans. In November of 2020, following a trial and post-trial briefing, the Court overseeing the litigation issued a decision declaring that MBIA Corp. had succeeded in establishing that a majority of the loans in the transaction were ineligible. In January of 2021, the Court issued an order declaring that Credit Suisse was liable to MBIA for approximately $604 million in damages. In February of 2021, the parties to the litigation entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which Credit Suisse paid MBIA Corp. $600 million, and the Court entered an order dismissing the case. Refer to “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” for further information about the Company’s litigation with Credit Suisse. As of December 31, 2020, the Company consolidated the RMBS securitization originated by Credit Suisse as a VIE and, therefore, eliminates its estimate of recoveries from its insurance accounting and reflects such recoveries in its accounting for the loan repurchase commitments asset of the VIE using a fair value measurement.

CDO Reserves and Recoveries

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

Zohar Recoveries

MBIA Corp. is seeking to recover the payments it made (plus interest and expenses) with respect to Zohar I and Zohar II. In March of 2018, the then-director of Zohar I and Zohar II placed those funds into voluntary bankruptcy proceedings in federal bankruptcy court in the District of Delaware (the “Zohar Funds Bankruptcy Cases”).

Salvage and subrogation recoveries related to Zohar I and Zohar II are reported within “Insurance loss recoverable” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s estimate of the insurance loss recoverable for Zohar I and Zohar II primarily includes probability-weighted scenarios of the ultimate monetized recovery from the Zohar ~~Assets.~~

~~Notwithstanding~~Collateral. Since March of 2018, MBIA Corp. has been pursuing those recoveries in a Delaware bankruptcy proceeding filed by the ~~monetization procedures agreed~~Zohar CDOs. Pursuant to a plan of liquidation confirmed in such bankruptcy proceeding regarding the Zohar CDOs and the remaining Zohar Collateral not previously monetized, which plan of liquidation became effective on August 2, 2022, MBIA Corp.’s rights to recoveries from any remaining Zohar Collateral were distributed to MBIA Corp. in the form of beneficial interests in certain asset recovery entities, which will be managed by a special manager subject to oversight by MBIA Corp. and another former Zohar ~~Funds Bankruptcy Cases~~creditor. There still remains significant uncertainty with respect to the realizable value of the remaining loans and ~~confirmed by~~equity interests that formerly constituted the ~~court, there can be no assurance~~Zohar Collateral and that comprise the assets of the asset recovery entities. Further, as the monetization of these assets unfolds in coordination with the ~~Zohar Assets will yield amounts sufficient to permit MBIA Corp. to recover a substantial portion~~special manager of the ~~payments it made on Zohar I~~asset recovery entities and ~~Zohar II. In particular, as~~ the ~~monetization process unfolds~~directors and managers in place at the portfolio companies, and new information concerning the financial condition of the portfolio companies is disclosed, the Company ~~may~~will continue to revise its expectations for recoveries. For example, at a June 3, 2020 hearing, counsel for one of the portfolio companies announced that the monetization process for that company would be delayed as a consequence of having to investigate issues relating to the integrity of the company’s financial statements. Failure to recover a substantial portion of the payments made on Zohar I and Zohar II could impede MBIA Corp.’s ability to make payments when due on other policies. MBIA Corp. believes that if the NYSDFS concludes at any time that MBIA Insurance Corporation will not be able to pay its policyholder claims, the NYSDFS would likely put MBIA Insurance Corporation into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding under Article 74 of the NYIL and/or take such other actions as the NYSDFS may deem necessary to protect the interests of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s policyholders. The determination to commence such a proceeding or take other such actions is within the exclusive control of the NYSDFS.

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

The Company’s loss and LAE reserves increased from December 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in expected PREPA recoveries on claims not yet paid, which are netted in loss and LAE reserves, as well as higher expected losses due to extending the timing of a settlement. This was partially offset by claim payments made on Puerto Rico exposure for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021, the Company’s~~2022, an increase in estimated expected recoveries related to HTA, which are netted in loss and LAE reserves, ~~declined primarily due to payments made on certain Puerto Rico exposures~~ and a ~~decrease~~decline in ~~expected payments related to certain insured first-lien~~net reserves on RMBS ~~transactions~~exposure, as a result of an increase in the risk-free rates used to present value loss reserves during the period. This decline was partially offset by an increase in expected payments and unfavorable changes in future recoveries of unpaid losses due to the increase in risk-free discount rates on certain Puerto Rico exposures.reserves.

Changes in Insurance Loss Recoverable

Insurance loss recoverable represents the Company’s estimate of expected recoveries on paid claims and LAE. The Company recognizes potential recoveries on paid claims based on the probability-weighted net cash inflows present valued at applicable risk-free rates as of the measurement date. The following table presents changes in the Company’s insurance loss recoverable for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Changes in insurance loss recoverable with the exception of collections, are recorded in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

~~(1) - Includes amounts related to paid claims.~~

~~(2) - Primarily changes in amount and timing of collections and LAE.~~

The decrease in the Company’s insurance loss recoverable reflected in the preceding table was primarily due to ~~a decrease~~the receipt of recoveries from the GO PSA. In addition, insurance loss recoverable declined due to the sale of PREPA bankruptcy claims. These decreases were partially offset by changes in ~~expected recovery~~ assumptions ~~on CDOs, an increase in risk-free rates, resulting in a decline in future~~related to the value of the remaining PREPA recoveries on paid claims, as well as the collection of excess spread related to the termination of certain second-lien RMBS trusts. This decrease was partially offset by a change in expected recovery assumptions related to paid claims on certain Puerto Rico credits.claims.

Loss and LAE Activity

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

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to a decline in expected salvage collections related to CDOs and to a lesser extent incurred losses on insured first-lien RMBS ~~transactions~~transaction due to a decline in the risk-free rates used to discount the present value of net loss reserves. This was partially offset by a decline in expected payments on certain Puerto Rico credits as a result of a decline in risk-free discount rates, which caused long-dated expected recoveries to increase and to a lesser extent accretion.

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurement

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets held by the Company primarily consist of investments in debt securities and loans receivables at fair value ~~and loan repurchase commitments~~ held by consolidated VIEs. ~~The Company’s remaining loan repurchase commitments were settled in the first quarter of 2021.~~ Financial liabilities, excluding derivative liabilities, issued by the Company primarily consist of debt issued for general corporate purposes within its corporate segment, MTNs, investment agreements and debt issued by consolidated VIEs. The Company’s derivative liabilities are primarily interest rate swaps and insured credit derivatives.

Valuation Techniques

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

Fixed-Maturity Securities Held as

Available-For-Sale,

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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

~~MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)~~

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

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Loans Receivable at Fair Value

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

~~Loan Repurchase Commitments~~

Loan repurchase commitments are obligations owed by the sellers/servicers of mortgage loans to MBIA as reimbursement of paid claims. Loan repurchase commitments were assets of the consolidated VIEs. These assets represented the rights of MBIA against the sellers/servicers for breaches of representations and warranties that the securitized residential mortgage loans sold to the trust to comply with stated underwriting guidelines and for the sellers/servicers to cure, replace, or repurchase mortgage loans. Fair value measurements of loan repurchase commitments represented the amounts owed by the sellers/servicers to MBIA as reimbursement of paid claims and contractual interest. Loan repurchase commitments were not securities and no quoted prices or comparable market transaction information were observable or available. Fair values of loan repurchase commitments were determined using discounted cash flow techniques and were categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s loan repurchase commitments were settled in the first quarter of 2021.

Other Assets

A VIE consolidated by the Company ~~has~~ entered into a derivative instrument consisting of a cross currency swap. The cross currency swap iswas entered into to manage the variability in cash flows resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The fair value of the VIE derivative is determined based on inputs from unobservable cash flows projection of the derivative, discounted using observable discount rates. As the significant inputs are unobservable, the derivative contract is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

in-substance

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

Medium-term Notes at Fair Value

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

~~Table of Contents~~

~~MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)~~

Variable Interest Entity Notes

The fair values of VIE notes are determined based on recently executed transaction prices or quoted prices where observable. When position-specific quoted prices are not observable, fair values are based on quoted prices of similar ~~securities.~~securities or internal cash flow models. Fair values based on quoted prices of similar securities and internal cash flow models may be adjusted for factors unique to the securities, including any credit enhancement. Observable inputs include interest rate yield curves, ~~and~~ bond spreads of similar ~~securities.~~securities and MBIA Corp.’s CDS spreads. Unobservable inputs include the value of any credit enhancement. VIE notes are categorized in ~~Level 2 or~~ Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Derivatives

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

over-the-counter

derivatives are determined using valuation models based on observable inputs, nonperformance risk of the Company and nonperformance risk of the counterparties. Observable and market-based inputs include interest rate yields, credit spreads and volatilities. These derivatives are categorized in Level 2 ~~or Level 3~~ of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

~~Derivatives—Insurance~~

~~The derivative contracts insured by the Company cannot be legally traded~~

MBIA Inc. and generally do not have observable market prices. The Company determines the fair values of certain insured credit derivatives using valuation models based on observable inputs and considering nonperformance risk of the Company. These insured credit derivatives are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

~~Derivatives—Other~~

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The Company also had other derivative liabilities as a result of a commutation that occurred in 2014. The fair value of these derivative liabilities were determined using a discounted cash flow model. Key inputs included unobservable cash flows projected over the expected term of the derivative. As the significant inputs were unobservable, the derivative contract was categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These derivative liabilities were settled in the first quarter of 2021.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

Sensitivity of Significant Unobservable Inputs

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

As of December 31, 2020, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s loan repurchase commitments of consolidated VIEs was a recovery value, which reflected an estimate of the amount to be awarded to the Company as part of litigation seeking to enforce its contractual rights. The Company’s remaining loan repurchase commitments were settled in the first quarter of 2021 for $600 million.

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

As of December 31, 2020, the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of MBIA Corp.’s other derivatives, which were valued using a discounted cash flow model, was the estimates of future cash flows discounted using market rates and CDS spreads. This derivative contract was settled in the first quarter of 2021 for an amount consistent with the reported amount as of December 31, 2020.

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

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

As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the cumulative changes in instrument-specific credit risk of liabilities elected under the fair value option were losses of ~~$26~~$64 million and ~~$51~~$32 million, respectively, reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were derived principally from changes in the Company’s credit spread. For liabilities of VIEs, additional adjustments to instrument-specific credit risk are required, which is determined by an analysis of deal specific performance of collateral that support these liabilities. During the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the portions of instrument-specific credit risk included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) that were recognized in earnings due to settlement of liabilities were

gains

of $15 million and

losses of ~~$4 million and $1~~

million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the portions of instrument-specific credit risk included in AOCI that were recognized in earnings due to settlement of liabilities were gains o

f $12 million and

losses of ~~$24 million and $3~~

$24 million, respectively.

Deposited and Pledged Securities

The fair value of securities on deposit with various regulatory authorities as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was $11 million. These deposits are required to comply with state insurance laws.

Pursuant to the Company’s tax sharing agreement, securities held by MBIA Inc. in the Tax Escrow Account are included as “Investments pledged as collateral, at fair value” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Investment agreement obligations require the Company to pledge securities as collateral. Securities pledged in connection with investment agreements may not be repledged by the investment agreement counterparty. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the fair value of securities pledged as collateral for these investment agreements approximated ~~$279~~$296 million and ~~$282~~$280 million, respectively. The Company’s collateral as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 consisted principally of U.S. Treasury and government agency and corporate

obligations, and was primarily held with major U.S. banks.

Gross unrealized losses on AFS investments increased as of June 30, 2022 compared with December 31, 2021 primarily due to higher interest rates and widening credit spreads.

With the weighting applied on the fair value of each security relative to the total fair value, the weighted average contractual maturity of securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was

~~Impaired securities that the Company intends to sell before the expected recovery of such securities’ fair values have been written down to fair value.~~

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company concluded that it does not have the intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is more likely than not, that it would not have to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. In making this conclusion, the Company examined the cash flow projections for its investment portfolios, the potential sources and uses of cash in its businesses, and the cash resources available to its business other than sales of securities. It also considered the existence of any risk management or other plans as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 that would require the sale of impaired securities. Impaired securities that the Company intends to sell before the expected recovery of such securities’ fair values have been written down to fair value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, impairment loss due to intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position was $19 million and reported in “Other net realized gains (losses)” on the Company’s consolidated results of operation.

Credit Losses on Investments

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

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 for a discussion of the Company’s policy for its determination of credit losses. The Company did not purchase any credit-deteriorated assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

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

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

Counterparty Credit Risk

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

Under these agreements, the Company may receive or provide cash, U.S. Treasury or other highly rated securities to secure counterparties’ exposure to the Company or its exposure to counterparties, respectively. Such collateral is available to the holder to pay for replacing the counterparty in the event that the counterparty defaults. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company did 0t hold or post cash collateral to derivative counterparties.

As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had securities with a fair value of ~~$166~~$92 million and ~~$214~~$159 million, respectively, posted to derivative counterparties and these amounts are included within “Fixed-maturity securities held as

available-for-sale,

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

As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the fair value on ~~1Credit~~1 Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) was $1 million. This CSA governs collateral posting requirements between MBIA and its derivative counterparties. The Company did not receive collateral due to the Company’s credit rating, which was below the CSA minimum credit ratings level for holding counterparty collateral. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the counterparty was rated Aa3 by Moody’s and A+ by

S&P.

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~Note 9: Income Taxes (continued)~~

Deferred Tax Asset, Net of Valuation Allowance

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

pre-tax

income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset of ~~$988 million and $966 million~~$1.1 billion as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021. The Company will continue to analyze the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

NOLs of property and casualty insurance companies are not subject to the 80 percent taxable income limitation and indefinite lived carryforward period required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act applicable to general corporate NOLs.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company’s policy is to record and disclose any change in unrecognized tax benefit (“UTB”) and related interest and/or penalties to income tax in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company includes interest as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had ~~0UTB.~~0 UTB.

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company has a foreign tax credit carryforward of ~~$61~~$58 million, which will expire between tax years ~~2021~~2022 through ~~2030.~~2032.

the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act. The CARES Act established new tax provisions including, but not limited to: (1) five-year carryback of NOLs generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020; (2) accelerated refund of alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards; and (3) retroactive changes to allow accelerated depreciation for certain depreciable property. The legislation did not have a material impact on the Company’s tax positions due to the lack of taxable income in the carryback periods. On December 21, 2020, The Consolidated ~~Appropriations Act (“Act”) passed by Congress to respond to the health and economic impacts of~~

~~COVID-19.~~Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Act includes a number of tax law changes, including the expansion of Employee Retention Credit, important changes to Paycheck Protection Program, and extension of a variety of expiring tax provisions. On March 6, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act was passed by Congress to further respond to the health and economic impacts of

~~COVID-19.~~

~~Among other changes, the legislation provides for an extension of the Employee Retention Credit through 2021. These two legislations do not have a material impact on the Company’s tax positions.~~

~~MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~Note 10: Business Segments (continued)~~

U.S. Public Finance Insurance

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

tax-exempt

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

Corporate

The Company’s corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA Inc.’s subsidiaries as well as asset and capital management. Support services are provided by the Company’s service company, MBIA Services, and include, among others, management, legal, accounting, treasury, information technology, and insurance portfolio surveillance, on a fee-for-service basis. Capital management includes activities related to servicing obligations issued by MBIA Inc. and its ~~subsidiaries, GFL and~~subsidiary, MBIA ~~Investment Management Corp.~~Global Funding, LLC (“~~IMC”~~GFL”). MBIA Inc. issued debt to finance the operations of the MBIA group. GFL raised funds through the issuance of MTNs with varying maturities, which were in turn guaranteed by MBIA Corp. GFL lent the proceeds of these MTN issuances to MBIA Inc. ~~IMC, along with~~ MBIA Inc., also provided customized investment agreements, guaranteed by MBIA Corp., for bond proceeds and other public funds for such purposes as construction, loan origination, escrow and debt service or other reserve fund requirements. The Company has ceased issuing new MTNs and investment agreements and the outstanding liability balances and corresponding asset balances have declined over time as liabilities matured, terminated or were called or repurchased. ~~During 2020, the remaining investment agreements issued by IMC matured, and as of December 31, 2020, there were no outstanding investment agreements issued by IMC.~~ All of the debt within the corporate segment is managed collectively and is serviced by available ~~liquidity.~~liquidity

International and Structured Finance Insurance

The Company’s international and structured finance insurance segment is principally conducted through MBIA Corp. The financial guarantees issued by MBIA Corp. generally provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on,

non-U.S.

public finance and global structured finance insured obligations when due, or in the event MBIA Corp. has the right, at its discretion, to accelerate insured obligations upon default or otherwise. MBIA Corp. insures the investment contracts written by MBIA Inc., and if MBIA Inc. were to have insufficient assets to pay amounts due upon maturity or termination, MBIA Corp. would make such payments. MBIA Corp. insures debt obligations of the following affiliates:

~~MBIA Inc.;~~

~~GFL;~~

~~IMC;~~

~~MZ Funding LLC; and~~

LaCrosse Financial Products, LLC, a wholly-owned affiliate, to which MBIA Insurance Corporation had written insurance policies guaranteeing the obligations under CDS. Certain policies covered payments potentially due under CDS, including termination payments that may become due in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of certain insolvency or payment defaults under the CDS or derivative contracts by the insured counterparty or by the guarantor. The Company no longer insures new CDS contracts except for potential transactions related to the restructuring of existing exposures.

~~MBIA Corp. insures~~

non-U.S.

public finance and global structured finance obligations, including asset-backed obligations. MBIA Corp. has insured sovereign-related and

sub-sovereign

bonds, utilities, privately issued bonds used for the financing of projects that include toll roads, bridges, airports, public transportation facilities, and other types of infrastructure projects serving a substantial public purpose. Global structured finance and asset-backed obligations typically are securities repayable from expected cash flows generated by a specified pool of assets, such as residential and commercial mortgages, ~~insurance policies,~~structured settlements, consumer loans, and corporate loans and ~~bonds,~~bonds. MBIA Corp. insures the investment contracts written by MBIA Inc., and ~~aircraft leases.~~if MBIA Inc. were to have insufficient assets to pay amounts due upon maturity or termination, MBIA Corp. would make such payments. MBIA Insurance Corporation also insures debt obligations of GFL. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, debt obligations affiliated with MZ Funding LLC matured and were repaid in full. MBIA Corp. has also written policies guaranteeing obligations under certain ~~other~~ derivative contracts, including termination payments that may become due upon certain insolvency or payment defaults of the financial guarantor or the issuer. MBIA Corp. has not written any meaningful amount of business since 2008.

Note 11: Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated using the

two-class

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

non-employee

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

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 11: Earnings Per Share (continued)

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

two-class

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

On August 8, 2018, the First Circuit issued an order reversing ~~Judge Swain’s~~the Court’s decision on jurisdictional grounds and remanding the motion. On October 3, 2018, National, together with other monolines filed an updated motion for relief from the automatic stay to allow Movants to exercise their statutory right to have a receiver appointed at PREPA. The Oversight Board filed a motion to dismiss the receiver motion. These motions ~~have~~had been stayed ~~until five business days~~but following the ~~ruling on the PREPA 9019 Settlement Motion. The PREPA 9019 Settlement Motion has been adjourned until further order~~termination of the ~~Court.~~RSA on March 8, 2022 and pursuant to Judge Swain’s April 8, 2022 order, this proceeding is no longer stayed subject to Judge Swain’s pending a status report request to the Oversight Board on August 15, 2022.

On May 3, 2019, PREPA, the Oversight Board, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”), the Ad Hoc Group of PREPA bondholders (the “Ad Hoc Group”), and Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“Assured”) (together, the “RSA Parties”) entered into the RSA. On September 9, 2019 National, Syncora Guarantee Inc. (“Syncora”), and the RSA Parties agreed on an amendment to the RSA pursuant to which National and Syncora joined the RSA. ~~The RSA includes the agreement for resolving PREPA’s restructuring plan issues and arrangements.~~

The RSA requires, upon entry of the order approving the Settlement Motion (the “9019 Order”), that Movants will withdraw the Receiver Motion, and the Ad Hoc Group will support such withdrawal. As contemplated by the RSA, on July 1, 2019, the Oversight Board and AAFAF also filed an adversary complaint against the Trustee for the PREPA Bonds, challenging the validity of the liens arising under the Trust Agreement that secure insured obligations of National. The adversary proceeding is stayed until the earlier of (a) 60 days after the Court denies the Settlement Motion, (b) consummation of a Plan, (c) 60 days after the filing by the Oversight Board and AAFAF of a Litigation Notice, or (d) further order of the Court.

National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation et al. v. UBS Financial Services, Inc. et al.,

No. SJ2019CV07932 (Superior Court San Juan)

On August 8, 2019, National and MBIA Corp. filed suit in the Court of First Instance in San Juan, Puerto Rico against UBS Financial Services, Inc., UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Fenner & Smith Inc., RBC Capital Markets LLC, and Santander Securities LLC, bringing two claims under Puerto Rico law: doctrina de actos propios (the doctrine of one’s own acts) and unilateral declaration of will. These claims concern the insurance by National of bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities that were underwritten by these defendants. National alleges that, when the defendants solicited bond insurance, they represented through their acts that they would investigate certain information they provided to National and that they had a reasonable basis to believe that information was true and complete. National further alleges that the defendants did not perform such investigations and that key information was untrue or incomplete. National seeks damages to be proven at trial. On September 9, 2019, Defendants removed National’s claims to federal court in the District of Puerto Rico. National filed its motion to remand the case on October 9, 2019. The Court held a hearing on the remand motion on July 29, 2020, at the end of which it granted National’s motion and remanded the case to the Commonwealth Court of First Instance. On July 31, 2020, National filed an informative motion with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Court of First Instance, Superior Court of San Juan, advising that the case has been remanded and requesting the reopening of the case in the Superior Court for further proceedings. On August 2, 2020, the Superior Court recognized the order of Judge Swain remanding the case and acknowledged that proceedings would continue in Commonwealth Court. On September 16, 2020, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. National filed its objection to that motion on October 7, 2020, and briefing concluded on November 30, 2020. On June 2, 2021, the Superior Court denied Defendants’ motion to ~~dismiss;~~dismiss. Defendants ~~have filed a petition seeking to appeal this ruling. Discovery is ongoing. Defendants~~appealed but filed an answer to the complaint on July 15, 2021.

On January 4, 2022, National filed with the Court of Appeals a motion for reconsideration of its judgment concerning the motion to dismiss. On February 17, 2022, the Court of Appeals issued an order denying National’s motion for reconsideration. On March 23, 2022, National filed a Petition for Certiorari to the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which was denied on May 13, 2022. On May 27, 2022 National filed a motion for reconsideration. On June 8, 2022 Defendants filed their response to National’s motion for

On January 16, 2020, the Oversight Board filed an adversary complaint against National, Ambac, Assured Guaranty, Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, Peaje Investments LLC and the Bank of New York Mellon as fiscal agent. The Oversight Board challenges the claims and validity of the liens asserted against the Commonwealth by holders of HTA bonds. The complaint contains 201 counts against the bondholder parties objecting to proofs of claim and security interests asserted regarding the Commonwealth’s retention of certain revenues previously assigned to HTA. This matter is currently stayed but the Court permitted the Oversight Board to file certain limited cross motions on April 28, 2020. The cross motions for summary judgment were filed on July 16, 2020. On September 23, 2020, ~~Judge Swain~~the Court heard argument on the limited cross motions for summary judgment, which remain pending.

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

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of MBIA Inc. should be read in conjunction with the other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q. In addition, this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations includes statements of the opinion of MBIA Inc.’s management which may be forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A and “Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 for a further discussion of risks and uncertainties.

~~INTRODUCTION~~OVERVIEW

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

National’s primary objectives are to maximize the performance of its existing insured portfolio through effective surveillance and remediation activity and effectively manage its investment portfolio. Our corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA’s operating subsidiaries and asset and capital management. MBIA Corp.’s primary objectives are to satisfy all claims by its policyholders and to maximize future recoveries, if any, for its ~~senior lending and~~ surplus note holders, and then its preferred stock holders. MBIA Corp. is executing this strategy by, among other things, taking steps to maximize the collection of recoveries and reducing and mitigating potential losses on its insurance exposures. We do not expect National or MBIA Corp. to write significant new business.

Refer to “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of risks and uncertainties concerning COVID-19.

During the second quarter of 2022, overall U.S. economic activity picked up with the employment rate remaining low with robust job gains. Inflation remains elevated with supply and demand issues related to COVID-19, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures. The Ukraine and Russia conflict is causing tremendous human and economic hardship, which is creating upward pressure on inflation and is weighing on global economic activity. With the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) seeking to achieve maximum employment and 2% inflation, the FOMC increased its target for the federal funds rate by 75 basis at each of its June and July 2022 meetings.

Adverse developments on macroeconomic factors resulting from the spread of COVID-19, including without limitation reduced economic activity and certainty, increased unemployment, increased loan defaults or delinquencies, and increased stress on municipal ~~budgets, including due to reduced tax revenues and the ability to raise taxes or limit spending, could materially and adversely affect~~bonds, improves the performance of our insured U.S. public finance portfolio and could reduce the amount of National’s potential incurred losses.

Federal legislation passed to combat the economic impact of the pandemic has been significant, including the $2.7 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in 2020, which included significant aid to offset COVID-19 related expenditures of public sector issuers including states, territories, healthcare, higher education and transportation issuers. Also, the Federal Reserve has shown a willingness to promote the stability of the financial system that is directly supportive of the municipal market, such as the Municipal Lending Facility created in 2020. In March of 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was enacted, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package designed to further stabilize the financial system. This law allocated nearly $350 billion of aid to state and local governments to replace lost revenues resulting from the pandemic with relatively few restrictions on use of said funds.

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

OVERVIEW (continued)

~~EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW (continued)~~

While the unprecedented amount of federal aid directed to state and local municipalities has blunted the impact of the pandemic, not all of the issuers of the obligations in National’s insured portfolio are eligible to receive it. Further, if issuers are unable to raise taxes, reduce spending, or receive federal assistance, the Company may experience new or additional losses or impairments on those obligations, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and financial results.

Certain of MBIA Corp.’s structured finance policies, including those in which the underlying principal obligations are comprised of residential or commercial mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), could be negatively impacted by delays or failures of borrowers to make payments of principal and interest when due, or delays or moratoriums on foreclosures or enforcement actions with respect to delinquent or defaulted mortgages imposed by governmental authorities. MBIA Corp. has recorded significant loss reserves on its residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) exposures, and there can be no assurance that these reserves will be sufficient if the pandemic causes further deterioration to the economy. These transactions are also subject to servicer risks, which relate to problems with the transaction’s servicer that could adversely impact performance of the underlying assets. Additionally, several of our credits, particularly within our international public finance sector, feature large, near term debt-service payments, and there can be no assurance that the liquidity position of MBIA Corp. will enable it to satisfy any claims that arise if the issuers of such credits are unable or unwilling to refinance or repay their obligations. MBIA Corp. has recorded expected recoveries on certain RMBS transactions, and the forbearance options that mortgage borrowers who were facing financial difficulties took advantage of under the CARES Act may delay or impair collections on these recoveries.

~~Liquidity~~

The Company continues to monitor its cash and liquid asset resources using cash forecasting and stress-scenario testing. Members of the Company’s senior management meet regularly to review liquidity metrics, discuss contingency plans and establish target liquidity levels. The full long-term impact the pandemic may have on our future liquidity position and needs remains uncertain. Declines in the market value or rating eligibility of assets pledged against the Company’s obligations as a result of credit market deterioration caused by COVID-19 require additional eligible assets to be pledged in order to meet minimum required collateral amounts against these obligations. This could require the Company to sell assets, potentially with substantial losses or use free cash or other assets to meet the collateral requirements, thus negatively impacting the Company’s liquidity position. Associated declines in the yields in our insurance companies’ fixed-income portfolios could materially impact investment income.

~~2021~~2022 Business Developments

The following is a summary of ~~2021~~2022 business developments:

Puerto Rico ~~(Refer to the “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section for additional information on our Puerto Rico exposures)~~

On January 1, ~~2021 and July 1, 2021,~~2022, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and certain of its instrumentalities (“Puerto Rico”) defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of ~~$277~~$47 million. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, National had ~~$2.9~~$2.1 billion of debt service outstanding related to Puerto Rico.

On July 1, 2022, Puerto Rico defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $142 million, which decreased the $2.1 billion of debt service outstanding related to Puerto Rico.

PREPA

On March 8, 2022, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”) and Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) terminated the RSA. On April 8, 2022, the Court appointed a new panel of judges to commence mediation among the Oversight Board, the Ad Hoc creditor group as holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and Syncora (the “April 8 Order”). The mediation deadline is currently August 15, 2022. The April 8 Order further provides that nothing therein acts as a stay of any pending adversary proceedings or contested matters in the PREPA case, subject to the Court’s pending request to the Oversight Board for a status report by August 15, 2022.

GO and HTA

On February 22, 2021, National agreed to join a plan support agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021 (the “GO PSA”), among the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), certain holders of Puerto Rico Commonwealth GO (“GO”) Bonds and ~~PBA Bonds,~~Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority (“PBA”) bonds, Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp, and Syncora Guarantee Inc. in connection with the Puerto Rico Commonwealth GO (“GO”) and PBA Title III cases. The GO PSA ~~provides that,~~was effective and implemented on March 15, 2022 and among other things, National ~~shall receive a pro rata share of allocable~~received cash, including certain fees, newly issued General Obligation bonds (“GO Bonds”) and a contingent value instrument (“CVI”) totaling approximately $1.0 billion. The CVI is intended to provide creditors with additional recoveries based on potential outperformance of Puerto Rico 5.5% Sales and Use Tax receipts based on the projections in the 2020 certified fiscal plan, subject to certain ~~fees. The GO PSA also permitted National~~caps. Subsequent to ~~terminate its participation in~~ the GO PSA ~~on or prior~~implementation, National made $277 million of acceleration and commutation payments pursuant to ~~March 31, 2021, which date was extended ultimately~~the GO PSA. Accordingly, National’s GO and PBA gross par outstanding and debt service outstanding have been reduced to ~~May 5, 2021.~~ zero from approximately $380 million and $495 million, respectively.

On April 12, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board reached an agreement in principle settling certain clawback claims and providing for a distribution of cash, bonds and a contingent value instrument to Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (“HTA”) bondholders subject to completing negotiations on a plan support agreement in respect of an HTA plan of adjustment (the “HTA PSA”). On May 5, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board entered into the HTA PSA. The Oversight Board has committed to filing a plan of adjustment for HTA by January 31, 2022. The GO PSA contemplates a Commonwealth plan becoming effective on or before December 15, 2021; however there can be no assurance that such plans will become effective, or on the contemplated timeline.

~~Economic and Financial Market Trends~~

~~The U.S. economy continued to improve during the second quarter of 2021 as progress~~additional information on vaccinations dramatically reduced the spread of COVID-19, which along with strong policy support, has bolstered economic activity and employment. Certain sectors of the economy most negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic remain weak, however they are improving and the U.S. unemployment rate remains above pre-pandemic levels.our Puerto Rico exposures.

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

~~EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW (continued)~~

Financial conditions have improved due to measures taken by Congress and the Federal Reserve to support the economy and enhance access to credit for U.S. households and businesses. However, economic activity, employment and inflation remain at risk as the path of economic recovery will still be significantly affected by the course of the virus, including new variants, and the continuing progress on vaccinations throughout the country. Inflation rose during the second quarter of 2021, however, according to the Federal Reserve this increase is largely due to transitory factors and until the labor market has improved it will allow inflation to run above its 2 percent target. The enactment of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, along with potential additional government spending in the form of an infrastructure plan, will continue to support economic growth. The Federal Open Market Committee currently projects an increase in gross domestic product in the range of 7 percent for 2021.

~~The Federal Open Market Committee maintained its target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to~~

⁄

percent at its most recent meeting. The Federal Reserve has committed to keeping interest rates at or near zero in order to lower borrowing costs until they are confident that the economy has stabilized and the health crisis has subsided. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve has remained committed to using all of its resources and tools to support the economy by assisting households, employers, and state and local governments during the coronavirus pandemic.

Economic and financial market trends could impact the Company’s financial results. As a result of the pandemic, many states and municipalities will experience financial distress through delayed tax collections, inability to reduce spending and not receiving timely financial assistance. Economic deterioration at the state and local level weakens the credit quality of the issuers of our insured municipal bonds, reduces the performance of our insured U.S. public finance portfolio and could increase the amount of National’s potential incurred losses. In addition, lower interest rates could result in decreased returns on our Company’s investment portfolios. Refer to the “COVID-19” section above for further information about the pandemic.

~~CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES~~

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

For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” and “Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a current description of estimates used in our insurance loss reserving process and information about our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value, including valuation techniques and significant inputs.

Three Months Ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021

~~The decrease in consolidated~~Income (loss) Before Income Taxes

Consolidated total revenues inincreased for the ~~second quarter~~three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period of 2021 ~~was primarily~~principally due to fair value gains on interest rate swaps, gains from changes in ~~revenues of~~foreign exchange rates, gains from consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) ~~during the second quarter~~and an increase in net investment income. These favorable changes in revenues were partially offset by losses from fair valuing investments, sales of ~~2020 with no comparable gains in the same period of 2021~~investments and impairing investments to fair value ~~losses on our interest rate swaps during the second quarter of 2021 compared with fair~~for investments we intend to sell. Fair value gains ~~in 2020. The VIE gains in the second quarter~~ of 2020 were related to the reversal of an allowance for credit losses and gains related to the increase in expected recoveries from the Credit Suisse put-back claims. These put-back claims were settled in the first quarter of 2021. In 2021, the losses$29 million on our interest rate swaps for ~~which we receive floating rates,~~the three months ended June 30, 2022 were due to ~~unfavorable changes~~increases in interest ~~rate curves~~rates compared towith a loss of $14 million from a decrease in interest rates in the same period of ~~2020. This decrease in consolidated total revenues~~2021. Foreign exchange gains for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on Euro-denominated liabilities were ~~partially offset by increases in~~$15 million compared with losses of $5 million for the same period of 2021. Consolidated VIE revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included $24 million primarily due to the reclassification of credit risk gains from ~~purchases,~~accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) due to the early redemption of VIE liabilities carried at ~~discounts,~~fair value. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, net investment income increased $10 million compared with the same period of ~~MTNs issued by the Company.~~2021 primarily due to higher average asset balances. The three months ended June 30, 2022 includes $34 million of losses from fair valuing investments, $21 million of realized losses on investments sold and $19 million of impairments on investments as a result of our intent to sell these securities before they recover their cost basis.

Consolidated total expenses for the three months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 included $20 million of losses and ~~2020 included net insurance~~ loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) compared with losses and LAE of $9 million ~~and $136 million, respectively. The decrease~~for the same period of 2021. This increase in ~~loss~~losses and LAE ~~resulted from a decline in losses incurred and changes in the risk-free rates resulting in~~was primarily due to an increase in ~~expected recoveries related to claims paid~~net losses and LAE on certain Puerto Rico ~~credits.~~credits, partially offset by favorable changes in losses and LAE from insured CDOs and first-lien RMBS in 2022 when compared with 2021.

Operating expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period of 2021 primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Also, interest expense of consolidated VIEs decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period of 2021 due to the repayment of the outstanding insured senior notes of MBIA Corp.’s financing facility between MZ Funding and certain purchasers (“Refinanced Facility”) during 2021.

The gains on our interest rate swaps in 2021 were due to favorable changes in interest rate curves compared to~~ the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. The increase was due to a larger increase in interest rates in 2022. Consolidated VIE revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was a gain of $20 million compared with a loss of $19 million for the same period of 2021. This favorable change is primarily due to the reclassification of credit risk gains from AOCI compared with the reclassification of credit risk losses in 2021 due to the early redemption of VIE liabilities carried at fair value. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, net investment income increased $14 million compared with the same period of 2021 primarily due to higher average asset balances.

Also, interest expense of consolidated VIEs decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period of 2021 due to the repayment of the Refinanced Facility during 2021.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 vs. Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate applied to our loss before income taxes was 0% compared with the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to the full valuation allowance on the changes in our net deferred tax asset, which includes our net operating loss (“NOL”).

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset was $1.1 billion. Notwithstanding the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset, the Company believes that it may be able to use some of its net deferred tax asset before the expirations associated with that asset based upon expected earnings at National. Accordingly, the Company will continue to re-evaluate its net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis. There is no assurance that the Company will reverse any of its valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in the future. Refer to “Note 9: Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes, including the valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset and its accounting for tax uncertainties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

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

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

Mark-to-market gains (losses) on financial instruments

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

Foreign exchange gains (losses)

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

Net realized investment gains (losses) ~~on sales of investments,~~, impaired securities and extinguishment of debt

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

Income taxes

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

Book Value Adjustments Per Share

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

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

Negative Book value of MBIA Corp.

– We remove the negative book value of MBIA Corp. based on our view that given MBIA Corp.’s current financial condition, the regulatory regime in which it operates, the priority given to its policyholders, surplus note holders and preferred stock holders with respect to the distribution of assets, and its legal structure, it is not and will not likely be in a position to upstream any economic benefit to MBIA Inc. Further, MBIA Inc. does not face any material financial liability arising from MBIA Corp.

Net unrealized (gains) losses on available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities excluding MBIA Corp.

– We remove net unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income since they will reverse from GAAP book value when such securities mature. Gains and losses from sales and impairments of AFS securities are recorded in book value through earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses of National

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

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

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

U.S. Public Finance Insurance Segment

Our U.S. public finance insurance portfolio is managed through National. The financial guarantees issued by National provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, insured obligations when due or, in the event National has exercised, at its discretion, the right to accelerate the payment under its policies upon the acceleration of the underlying insured obligations due to default or otherwise. National’s guarantees insure municipal bonds, including tax-exempt and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utility districts, airports, healthcare institutions, higher educational facilities, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. Municipal bonds and privately issued bonds used for the financing of public purpose projects are generally supported by taxes, assessments, user fees or tariffs related to the use of these projects, lease payments or other similar types of revenue streams. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, National had total insured gross par outstanding of ~~$39.5~~$34.6 billion.

National continues to monitor and remediate its existing insured portfolio and may also pursue strategic alternatives that could enhance shareholder value. Some state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are experiencing financial and budgetary stress which ~~may be exacerbated by COVID-19. As a result of COVID-19, we have increased our monitoring of certain credits. Financial and budgetary stress~~ could lead to an increase in defaults by such entities on the payment of their obligations and, while such has not yet occurred materially, losses or impairments on a greater number of the Company’s insured transactions. In particular, Puerto Rico had been experiencing significant fiscal stress and constrained liquidity, and in response, Congress passed PROMESA, which established the Oversight Board vested with the sole power to certify fiscal plans for Puerto Rico. Refer to the “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section for additional information on ~~PROMESA and~~ our Puerto Rico exposures. We continue to monitor and analyze these situations and other stressed credits closely, and the overall extent and duration of stress affecting our insured credits remains uncertain.

NET PREMIUMS EARNED Net premiums earned on financial guarantees represent gross premiums earned net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. The decrease in net premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period of 2020 was primarily due to a $2 million decrease in scheduled premiums earned and a $2 million decrease in refunded premiums earned. The decrease in net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period of 2020 was primarily due to a $3 million decrease in scheduled premiums earned, partially offset by a $1 million increase in refunded premiums earned. Refunding activity over the past several years has accelerated premium earnings in prior years and reduced the amount of scheduled premiums that would have been earned in the current year. Refunding activity can vary significantly from period to period based on issuer refinancing behavior. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, scheduled premiums earned were $8 million and $9 million, respectively, and refunded premiums earned were $1 million and $2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, scheduled premiums earned were $16 million and $19 million, respectively, and refunded premiums earned were $6 million and $9 million, respectively.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME The ~~decreases~~increase in net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared with the same periods of ~~2020~~2021 were primarily due to a ~~lower~~higher average invested asset base resulting from ~~claim payments, payment~~sales of ~~a dividend to MBIA Inc.,~~the PREPA bankruptcy claims and ~~purchases~~receipt of ~~MBIA Inc. common shares.~~the cash and bonds from the GO PSA.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2022, net ~~gains~~losses on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange ~~included~~were driven by fair value ~~gains~~losses on ~~securities due to a tightening~~investments for which the fair value option was elected and investments designated as trading. The losses on the fair value option investments were driven by increases in interest rates and widening of credit spreads during 2022. The losses on the ~~quarter and gains from~~trading investments were driven by mark-to-market changes on the ~~sales of securities from the ongoing management of our U.S. public finance investment portfolio.~~Puerto Rico GO CVI.

OTHER NET REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2022, other net ~~gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange included gains from the sales~~realized losses were primarily related to impairments of ~~securities from the ongoing management of our U.S. public finance investment portfolio, partially offset by fair value~~certain investments that had unrealized losses ~~on securities due~~as we intend to ~~the widening of credit spreads during the first half of 2020.~~sell these investments before they recover their amortized cost basis.

LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Our U.S. public finance insured portfolio management group is responsible for monitoring our U.S. public finance segment’s insured obligations. The level and frequency of monitoring of any insured obligation depends on the type, size, rating and our assessed performance of the insured issue. ~~As a result of COVID-19, we have increased our monitoring of certain credits.~~ Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Company’s loss reserves.

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

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the loss and LAE incurred benefit primarily related to a decline in the risk-free rates used to discount the value of long-dated future recoveries on certain Puerto Rico exposures.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the loss and LAE incurred primarily related to an increase in the risk-free rates used to discount the value of ~~long-dated~~long-date future expected recoveries on certain Puerto Rico exposures.

~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, losses and LAE primarily related to certain Puerto Rico exposures as well as an investor owned utility exposure.~~

The insurance loss recoverable as of June 30, ~~2021 increased slightly~~2022 decreased compared with December 31, ~~2020 as a result~~2021 primarily due to the receipt of ~~a change in expected~~ recoveries ~~related~~pursuant to the implemented GO PSA whereby National received cash, GO Bonds, and CVI. In addition, the insurance loss recoverable declined due to the sale of PREPA bankruptcy claims ~~paid on certain Puerto Rico exposures which was~~ partially offset by ~~increases~~changes in ~~discount rates used~~assumptions related to ~~present~~the value ~~future~~of the remaining expected PREPA recoveries on paid claims. Loss and LAE reserves as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 increased compared with December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to a decrease in expected PREPA recoveries on claims not yet paid, which are netted in loss and LAE reserves, as well as higher expected losses due to extending the timing of a PREPA settlement. The increase in PREPA net loss reserves was partially offset by an increase in the estimated expected recoveries on claims not yet paid related to HTA, which is also netted in loss and LAE reserves, claims payments ~~and unfavorable changes in future recoveries of unpaid losses due~~related to the ~~increase in risk-free discount rates, partially offset by actual~~acceleration and commutation of GO exposure, and scheduled claim payments ~~made related to certain~~on Puerto Rico ~~exposures.~~exposures during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Gross expenses represent total insurance expenses before the deferral of any policy acquisition costs. Operating expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same periods of 2021 primarily due to a decrease in legal costs.

When an insured obligation refunds, we accelerate to expense any remaining deferred acquisition costs associated with the policy covering the refunded insured obligation. We did not defer a material amount of policy acquisition costs during ~~the first half of~~2022 or 2021 ~~or 2020.~~as we did not write any new insurance business in those years.

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

The following table presents the credit quality distribution of National’s U.S. public finance outstanding gross par insured as of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Capital appreciation bonds (“CABs”) are reported at the par amount at the time of issuance of the insurance policy. All ratings are as of the period presented and represent S&P underlying ratings, where available. If transactions are not rated by S&P, a Moody’s equivalent rating is used. If transactions are not rated by either S&P or Moody’s, an internal equivalent rating is used.

On June 30, 2016, PROMESA was signed into law by the President of the United States. PROMESA provides for the creation of the Oversight Board with powers relating to the development and implementation of a fiscal plan for the Commonwealth and each of its instrumentalities as well as a court-supervised Title III process that allows Puerto Rico to restructure its debt if voluntary agreements cannot be reached with creditors through a collective action process. Following the resignation and replacement of several Oversight Board members, the Oversight Board has been reconstituted with four new members while three existing members have been reappointed by the President for another three year term. The newly elected Governor of Puerto Rico has appointed himself as a non-voting member of the reconstituted Oversight Board.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board certified and filed a petition under Title III of PROMESA for Puerto Rico with the District Court of Puerto Rico thereby commencing a bankruptcy-like case for the Commonwealth GO. Under separate petitions, the Oversight Board subsequently commenced Title III proceedings for COFINA, PRHTA, PREPA and PBA on May 5, 2017, May 21, 2017, July 2, 2017 and September 27, 2019, respectively. ~~One of the proceedings was resolved on~~On February 4, 2019, ~~when~~ the District of Puerto Rico entered the order confirming the Third Amended Title III Plan of Adjustment for COFINA. The ~~plan~~Title III cases for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and PBA were confirmed on January 18, 2022, and became effective on ~~February 12, 2019, and as of December 31, 2019, we no longer have exposure to COFINA.~~March 15, 2022. There can be no assurance that the ~~other~~ Title III proceedings for PREPA and PRHTA will be resolved with similar outcomes.

As a result of prior defaults, various stays and the Title III cases, Puerto Rico failed to make certain scheduled debt service payments for National insured bonds. As a consequence, National has paid gross claims in the aggregate amount of ~~$1.8~~$2.2 billion relating to GO bonds, PBA bonds, PREPA bonds and PRHTA bonds through June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, inclusive of the commutation payment and the additional payment in the amount of $66 million on December 17, 2019 related to ~~COFINA.~~

~~On May 2, 2019, the Oversight Board~~COFINA and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of all Title III Debtors (other than COFINA) (the “Committee”) filed lien avoidance adversary complaints against several hundred defendants, including National, challenging the existence, extent, and enforceability of GO bondholders’ liens. After an approximately five-month stay of litigation entered by the Court on July 24, 2019, these adversary proceedings resumed pursuant to an interim schedule entered by the Court in December 2019. On February 5, 2020, National and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. filed a motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding. The adversary proceeding hearing was stayed indefinitely by further order of the Court.

On February 22, 2021, National agreed to join a plan support agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021 (the “GO PSA”), among the Oversight Board, certain holders of GO Bonds and PBA Bonds, Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp, and Syncora Guarantee Inc. in connection with the GO and PBA Title III cases. The GO PSA provides that, among other things, National shall receive a pro rata share of allocable cash, newly issued General Obligation bonds, a contingent value instrument and certain fees. The GO PSA also permitted National to terminate its participation in the GO PSA ~~on or prior to~~acceleration and commutation payments of $277 million in March 31, 2021, which date was extended ultimately to May 5, 2021. On April 12, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board reached an agreement in principle settling certain clawback claims and providing for a distribution of cash, bonds and a contingent value instrument to HTA bondholders subject to completing negotiations on a plan support agreement in respect of the HTA PSA. On May 5, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board entered into the HTA PSA. The Oversight Board has committed to filing a plan of adjustment for HTA by January 31, 2022. The GO PSA contemplates a Commonwealth plan becoming effective on or before December 15, 2021; however there can be no assurance that such plans will become effective, or on the contemplated timeline. Pursuant to the GO PSA, the Oversight Board and National jointly obtained the entry of an order in the Title III court staying National’s participation in actions related to the clawback of HTA funds from the Commonwealth, including the Section 926 appeal pending before the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and National shall take no further action with respect to those proceedings subject to the Commonwealth plan becoming effective.

On May 11, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Third Amended Title III Joint Plan of Adjustment and Disclosure Statement for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. On June 29, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Fourth Amended Title III Joint Plan and Disclosure Statement for the Commonwealth, and on July 12, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Fifth Amended Title III Plan of Adjustment and Disclosure Statement, incorporating certain changes in connection with the disclosure statement objections. On July 14, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court (i) continued the disclosure statement hearing until July 27, 2021 for the sole purpose of considering a possible settlement of objections by Ambac Assurance Corporation and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, and (ii) overruled all other objections to the disclosure statement but required the Oversight Board to include certain additional disclosure on financial and legislative risks. The court also approved confirmation procedures, subject to the approval of the disclosure statement at the continued hearing, including commencing the confirmation hearing on November 8, 2021 and concluding on November 23, 2021. On July 27, 2021, the Oversight Board filed the Sixth Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement, and on July 29, 2021 the Court approved the amended Disclosure Statement for distribution to claimholders of record.

On July 24, 2019, Judge Swain entered an order staying certain adversary proceedings and contested matters until December 31, 2019, and imposing mandatory mediation under Judge Houser. Among the matters stayed in which National is either a party in interest or intervenor are the (i) PBA adversary proceeding seeking to recharacterize the PBA bonds as financings and (ii) GO adversary and HTA adversary proceedings, both challenging bondholder liens. Pursuant to interim schedules entered by the Court in December 2019, the PBA adversary proceeding and the HTA adversary proceeding were to remain stayed until March 11, 2020, but the Court subsequently stayed all such adversary proceedings indefinitely subject to the progress of the GO confirmation process. As part of the GO PSA, National’s participation in this litigation will be stayed subject to the effective date of the Commonwealth plan of adjustment.

~~RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)~~

~~PBA~~

On December 21, 2018, the Oversight Board filed an adversary complaint seeking to disallow the PBA’s administrative rent claims against the Commonwealth. The PBA bonds are payable from the rent the Commonwealth pays under its lease agreements with the PBA. The Oversight Board alleges that the Commonwealth has no obligation to make rent payments under section 365(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and that the PBA is not entitled to a priority administrative expense claim under the leases. On April 16, 2019, Judge Swain entered an order setting a discovery schedule. On September 27, 2019, the Oversight Board filed a Title III petition for the PBA.

~~The proceeding is currently stayed in the Title III court subject to the occurrence of the effective date of the Commonwealth plan of adjustment.~~

PREPA

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

On October 3, 2018, National, together with Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., and Syncora Guarantee Inc. (collectively, “Movants”) filed a motion in the Title III case for PREPA for relief from the automatic stay to allow Movants to exercise their statutory right to have a receiver appointed at PREPA (the “Receiver Motion”). This motion is stayed pending a resolution of the 9019 Order, discussed below.

On May 3, 2019, PREPA, the Oversight Board, the ~~Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”),~~AAFAF, the Ad Hoc Group of PREPA bondholders (the “Ad Hoc Group”), and Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“Assured”) entered into the ~~RSA~~a restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) which was amended on September 9, 2019 to include National and Syncora Guarantee, Inc. (“Syncora”) as supporting parties. ~~Approximately 90%~~On March 8, 2022, AAFAF and PREPA terminated the RSA. On April 8, 2022, the Court issued the April 8 Order. The mediation deadline is currently August 15, 2022. The April 8 Order further provides that nothing therein acts as a stay of ~~PREPA’s bondholders have joined~~any pending adversary proceedings or contested matters in the ~~RSA.~~

~~The RSA initially contemplated the filing of a plan of adjustment for~~ PREPA ~~by March 31, 2020; the timing of that action is now uncertain.~~

~~Pursuant~~case, subject to the ~~RSA,~~Court’s pending request to the Oversight Board ~~filed~~for a Rule 9019 motion with the Title III court in May 2019 seeking approval of the RSA (the “Settlement Motion”) and a Motion to Dismiss the Receiver Motion. The RSA requires, upon entry of the order approving the Settlement Motion (the “9019 Order”), that Movants will withdraw the Receiver Motion, and the Ad Hoc Group will support such withdrawal. The Receiver Motion and the Motion to Dismiss the Receiver Motion have been delayed several times, and most recently were adjourned due to the outbreak of COVID-19 until further notice. The debt restructuring contemplatedstatus report by the RSA will not be effective until (i) confirmation of a plan of adjustment under the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”), (ii) negotiation and consummation of definitive documentation and legal opinions, (iii) enactment and implementation of supportive Puerto Rico legislation and (iv) receipt of Puerto Rico regulatory approval, each of which outcome is uncertain and subject to varying degrees of risk. In addition, the restructuring the RSA contemplates has received criticism from various parties including members of the Puerto Rico government and other stakeholders. This opposition could adversely affect the ability of the Oversight Board and RSA Parties to obtain the Rule 9019 Order and approve the RSA.August 15, 2022.

~~As contemplated by the RSA, on~~On July 1, 2019 the Oversight Board and AAFAF also filed an adversary complaint against the Trustee for the PREPA Bonds, challenging the validity of the liens arising under the Trust Agreement that secure insured obligations of National. The adversary proceeding iswas stayed ~~until~~but the ~~earlier of (a) 60 days after~~April 8 Order dissolved the ~~Court denies~~stay as to any pending adversary proceedings or contested matters, subject to the ~~9019 Motion, (b) consummation of a Plan, (c) 60 days after the filing by~~Court’s pending status report request to the Oversight Board ~~and AAFAF of a Litigation Notice, or (d) further order of the Court.~~

Certain objectors to the RSA have filed adversary proceedings challenging the payment priority arising under the PREPA Trust Agreement, alleging that they are entitled to be paid in full before National and other bondholders have any lien on ~~or recourse to PREPA’s assets, including pursuant to the RSA. All litigation on this matter has been stayed until the Court places the 9019 Motion back on the calendar for hearing.~~August 15, 2022.

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

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

PREPA bankruptcy claims related to insurance claims paid on matured National-insured PREPA bonds. These transactions represented approximately 35% of National’s par claims to PREPA, monetized a portion of National’s salvage asset at a discount to National’s previous carrying value, and reduced potential volatility and ongoing risk of remediation around the PREPA credit. Subsequent to the sale of these PREPA bankruptcy claims, National does not have a material amount of additional par claims to PREPA that have matured and can be sold.

PRHTA

On May 20, 2019, the Oversight Board and the Committee filed a lien avoidance adversary complaint against fiscal agents, holders, and insurers of certain PRHTA bonds, including National. The complaint challenges the extent and enforceability of certain security interests in PRHTA’s revenues. Pursuant to an interim schedule entered by the Court in December 2019, the Court has stayed the proceedings, with the understanding that the issues raised in these proceedings would be addressed in new adversary proceedings filed by the Oversight Board on January 16, 2020. Subsequent to those filings, these proceedings were stayed by order of the Court.

On April 12, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board reached an agreement in principle settling certain HTA clawback claims in the Commonwealth Title III case and providing for a distribution to HTA holders of cash, bonds and a ~~contingent value instrument~~CVI subject to completing negotiations on a plan support agreement in respect of the HTA PSA.

Status of Puerto Rico’s Fiscal Plans

~~In January of 2021, the Oversight Board requested that the Puerto Rico government submit a proposed updated Fiscal Plan for the Commonwealth.~~ The Commonwealth submitted a revised fiscal plan on March 8, 2021. On March 15, 2021, the Oversight Board deemed the Puerto Rico government’s fiscal plan to be non-compliant, and has required the government to submit a revised updated fiscal plan, including all financial and supporting models. The Oversight Board certified the government’s fiscal plan on April 23, 2021. For the remaining component units, the Oversight Board certified fiscal plans for PREPA, ~~the~~ University of Puerto Rico (the “University”) and PRHTA on June 28, 2022, May 27, ~~2021.~~2022 and February 22, 2022, respectively. The Oversight Board also certified the fiscal year ~~2022~~2023 budgets for Commonwealth, PREPA, the University and PRHTA on June ~~27, 2021.~~30, 2022.

University of Puerto Rico

The University is not a debtor in Title III and continues to be current on its debt service payment. However, the University is subject to a standstill agreement with its senior bondholders, which has been extended to ~~August 28, 2021.~~November 30, 2022. National is not a party to the standstill agreement.

Corporate Segment

Our corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA Inc.’s subsidiaries and asset and capital management. Support services are provided by our service company, MBIA Services, and include, among others, management, legal, accounting, treasury, information technology, and insurance portfolio surveillance, on a fee-for-service basis. Capital management includes activities related to servicing obligations issued by MBIA Inc. and its ~~subsidiaries,~~subsidiary, MBIA Global Funding, LLC (“GFL”) ~~and MBIA Investment Management Corp. (“IMC”)~~. ~~During 2020, the remaining investment agreements issued by IMC matured, and as of December 31, 2020, there were no outstanding investment agreements issued by IMC.~~ MBIA Inc. issued debt to finance the operations of the MBIA group. GFL raised funds through the issuance of medium-term notes (“MTNs”) with varying maturities, which were in turn guaranteed by MBIA Corp. GFL lent the proceeds of these MTN issuances to MBIA Inc. ~~IMC, along with~~ MBIA Inc., provided customized investment agreements, guaranteed by MBIA Corp., for bond proceeds and other public funds for such purposes as construction, loan origination, escrow and debt service or other reserve fund requirements. The Company has ceased issuing new MTNs and investment agreements and the outstanding liability balances and corresponding asset balances have declined over time as liabilities matured, terminated, or were called or repurchased. All of the debt within the corporate segment is managed collectively and is serviced by available liquidity.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE The changes in net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with same periods of 2021 ~~was~~were primarily due to the impact of ~~decreases in interest rates during the second quarter of 2021~~favorable changes on the ~~fair values~~value of interest rate swaps for which we receive floating ~~rates.~~ rates and foreign currency exchange rates on Euro-denominated liabilities as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. These favorable changes were partially offset by fair value losses on investments.

The ~~favorable change~~three months ended June 30, 2022 includes fair value net gains of $29 million on interest rate swaps compared with fair value net losses of $14 million on these swaps for the same period of 2021 due to an increase in interest rates in 2022 compared with a decrease in interest rates in 2021. The three months ended June 30, 2022 includes foreign currency gains of $15 million on Euro-denominated liabilities compared with foreign currency losses of $5 million on these liabilities for the same period of 2021 as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro in 2022. Fair value losses on investments was $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared with gains of $3 million for the same period of 2021.

The six months ended June 30, 2022 includes fair value net gains of $62 million on interest rate swaps compared with fair value net gains of $25 million on these swaps for the same period of 2021. This increase in net gains ~~(losses)~~is due to larger increases in interest rates in 2022. The six months ended June 30, 2022 includes foreign currency gains of $20 million on ~~financial instruments at fair~~Euro-denominated liabilities compared with foreign currency gains of $12 million on these liabilities for the same period of 2021 due to a larger increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar in 2022 against the Euro.

International and Structured Finance Insurance Segment

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

MBIA Corp. ~~has insured~~insures sovereign-related and sub-sovereign bonds, privately issued bonds used for the financing of utilities, toll roads, bridges, airports, public transportation facilities, and other types of infrastructure projects serving a substantial public purpose. Global structured finance and asset-backed obligations typically are securities repayable from cash flows generated by a specified pool of assets, such as residential and commercial mortgages, ~~insurance policies,~~structured settlements, consumer loans, and corporate loans and ~~bonds, and aircraft leases.~~bonds. MBIA Insurance Corporation insures the investment agreements written by MBIA Inc., and if MBIA Inc. were to have insufficient assets to pay amounts due upon maturity or termination, MBIA Insurance Corporation would be required to make such payments under its insurance policies. MBIA Insurance Corporation also ~~insured~~insures debt obligations of ~~other affiliates, including~~ GFL ~~IMC~~ and ~~MZ Funding LLC (“MZ Funding”). MBIA Corp. had also written insurance policies guaranteeing the~~ obligations under ~~credit default swap (“CDS”) contracts~~certain types of ~~an affiliate, LaCrosse Financial Products, LLC and certain other~~ derivative contracts. Certain policies covered payments potentially due under CDS, including termination payments that may become due in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of certain insolvency or payment defaults under the CDS or derivative contracts by the insured counterparty or by the guarantor. We no longer insure new CDS contracts except for potential transactions related to the restructuring of existing exposures. MBIA Insurance Corporation provides 100% reinsurance to its subsidiary, MBIA Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“MBIA Mexico”). As of June 30, 2022, MBIA Corp.’s total insured gross par outstanding was $4.2 billion.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

NET INVESTMENT INCOME The increase in net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same periods of ~~premiums ceded to reinsurers, and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. The negative VIE net premiums earned (eliminated in consolidation) for 2020 was~~2021 were primarily due to ~~the termination of~~ a ~~policy, resulting~~higher yields on investment assets in ~~the reversal of previously eliminated net premiums in excess of cash received.~~2022.

NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE The unfavorable ~~changes in net~~change for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same period of 2021 was primarily due to fair value losses on ~~financial instruments~~investments in 2022.

FEES AND REIMBURSEMENTS The increases in fees and ~~foreign exchange~~reimbursements for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared with the same periods of ~~2020~~2021 were primarily ~~related~~due to ~~losses~~an increase in waiver and consent fees in 2022.

REVENUES OF CONSOLIDATED ~~VIEs~~VIEs: The ~~decreases in revenues of consolidated VIEs~~favorable changes for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared with the same periods of ~~2020~~2021 were ~~primarily~~principally due to the reclassification of credit risk gains ~~related to~~from AOCI in 2022 compared with the ~~increase~~reclassification of credit risk losses from AOCI in ~~expected recoveries~~2021 from the ~~Credit Suisse put-back claims, reversals~~early redemption of allowances for credit losses and higher net investment income in 2020 with no comparable gains for the same periods of 2021. The losses included in other net realized gains (losses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 relate to losses from the deconsolidation of two VIEs. During 2020, we deconsolidated all remaining VIEs for which net investment income was recorded.VIE liabilities carried at fair value.

LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES Our international and structured finance insured portfolio management group is responsible for monitoring international and structured finance insured obligations. The level and frequency of monitoring of any insured obligation depends on the type, size, rating and our assessed performance of the insured issue. ~~As a result of COVID-19, we have increased our monitoring of certain credits.~~ Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s loss reserving policy and additional information related to its loss reserves.

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

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, ~~losses~~loss and LAE incurred primarily related to a decline in expected salvage collections from insured CDOs, and losses on ~~insured~~ first-lien RMBS transactions due to a decline in the ~~risk-free~~risk free rates used to discount the present value of net loss ~~reserves.~~reserves, which caused case reserves, net of recoveries, to increase.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, losses and LAE primarily related to a decrease in expected salvage collections from insured CDOs and declines in the risk-free rates during 2020, which increased the present value of loss reserves, primarily on our insured first-lien RMBS transactions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The insurance loss recoverable primarily relates to reimbursement rights arising from the payment of claims on MBIA Corp.’s policies insuring certain CDOs and RMBS. Such payments also entitle MBIA Corp. to exercise certain rights and remedies to seek recovery of its reimbursement entitlements. The insurance loss recoverable decreased slightly from 2021 due to the increase in risk-free rates during 2022 used to discount future recoveries of paid claims, which lowered the present value of those recoveries, as well as the collection of RMBS recoveries, partially offset by an increase in expected salvage collections on CDOs. The decline in loss and LAE reserves from 2021 is primarily due to the increase in risk-free rates, which caused the present value of case reserves, net of future recoveries, to decline.

Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for ~~additional~~ information regarding ~~our estimates~~risks and uncertainties related to future collections of estimated recoveries.

Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our loss reserving policy, loss reserves and recoverables.

International and Structured Finance Insurance Portfolio Exposures

Credit Quality

The credit quality of our international and structured finance insured portfolio is assessed in the same manner as our U.S. public finance insured portfolio. As of June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020, 23%~~2021, 30% and ~~24%~~26%, respectively, of our international and structured finance insured portfolio was rated below investment grade, before giving effect to MBIA’s guarantees, based on MBIA’s internal ratings, which are generally more current than the underlying ratings provided by S&P and Moody’s for this subset of our insured portfolio. Below investment grade insurance policies primarily include our first-lien RMBS and CDO exposures.

Selected Portfolio Exposures

~~The following is a summary of selected significant exposures within our~~MBIA Corp. insures RMBS backed by residential mortgage ~~insured portfolio~~loans, including first-lien alternative A-paper and subprime mortgage loans directly through RMBS securitizations. As of ~~our~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, MBIA Corp. had $927 million and $979 million, respectively, of first-lien RMBS gross par outstanding. These amounts include the gross par outstanding related to transactions that the Company consolidates under accounting guidance for VIEs and includes international exposure of $244 million and ~~structured finance insurance segment.~~ $238 million, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In addition, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, MBIA Corp. insured ~~$234~~$216 million and $231 million, respectively, of CDOs and related instruments.

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

~~Residential Mortgage Exposure~~

Effective in the first quarter of 2022, MBIA Corp. ~~insures RMBS backed~~was granted a permitted practice by ~~residential mortgage loans, including second-lien RMBS transactions (revolving home equity lines~~the New York State Department of ~~credit~~Financial Services (“~~HELOC”~~NYSDFS”) ~~loans and closed-end second~~related to the purchase of certain MBIA Corp.-insured securities with gross case base loss reserves (“~~CES”~~Remediation Securities”) ~~mortgages)~~.

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

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

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the aggregate amount of insured par outstanding ceded by MBIA to reinsurers under reinsurance agreements was ~~$1.3 billion~~$970 million compared with ~~$1.5~~$1.0 billion as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Under National’s reinsurance agreement with MBIA Corp., if a reinsurer of MBIA Corp. is unable to pay claims ceded by MBIA Corp. on U.S. public finance exposure, National will assume liability for such ceded claim payments. For a further discussion of the Company’s reinsurance, refer to “Note 13: Insurance in Force” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~Taxes~~Liquidity

~~Provision for Income Taxes~~

~~The Company’s income taxes and the related effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the following table:~~

Effective tax rate

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rate applied to our loss before income taxes was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to the full valuation allowance on the changes in our net deferred tax asset.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset was $988 million and $966 million, respectively. Notwithstanding the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset, the Company believes that it may be able to use some of its net deferred tax asset before the expirations associated with that asset based upon expected earnings at National and potential future sources of taxable income to be identified by the Company. Accordingly, the Company will continue to re-evaluate its net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis. There is no assurance that the Company will reverse any of its valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in the future. Refer to “Note 9: Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes, including the valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset and its accounting for tax uncertainties.

The CARES Act established new tax provisions including, but not limited to: (1) five-year carryback of NOLs generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020; (2) accelerated refund of alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards; and (3) retroactive changes to allow accelerated depreciation for certain depreciable property. The legislation did not have a material impact on the Company’s tax positions due to the lack of taxable income in the carryback periods.

On December 21, 2020, The Consolidated Appropriations Act (“Act”) was passed by Congress to respond to the health and economic impacts of COVID-19. The Act includes a number of tax law changes, including the expansion of the Employee Retention Credit, important changes to the Paycheck Protection Program, and extension of a variety of expiring tax provisions. On March 6, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act was passed by Congress to further respond to the health and economic impacts of COVID-19. Among other changes, the legislation provides for an extension of the Employee Retention Credit through 2021. These two legislations do not have a material impact on the Company’s tax positions.

~~CAPITAL RESOURCES~~

The Company manages its capital resources to minimize its cost of capital while maintaining appropriate claims-paying resources (“CPR”) for National and MBIA Corp. The Company’s capital resources consist of total shareholders’ equity, total debt issued by MBIA Inc. for general corporate purposes, surplus notes issued by MBIA Corp., and MBIA Corp.’s financing facility between MZ Funding and certain purchasers, pursuant to which the purchasers or their affiliates agreed to refinance the outstanding insured senior notes of MZ Funding (“Refinanced Facility”). Total capital resources were $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

~~CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)~~

Purchases or repurchases of debt and common stock may be made from time to time in the open market or in private transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. We may also choose to redeem debt obligations where permitted by the relevant agreements. MBIA Inc. or National may acquire or redeem outstanding common shares of MBIA Inc. and outstanding debt obligations at prices when we deem it beneficial to our shareholders. MBIA Inc. supports the MTN and investment agreement obligations issued by the Company. We seek to maintain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet the Company’s general corporate needs and debt service. Based on MBIA Inc.’s debt service requirements and expected operating expenses, we expect that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient resources to satisfy its debt obligations and its general corporate needs over time from distributions from its operating subsidiaries; however, there can be no assurance that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient resources to do so. In addition, the Company may also consider raising third-party capital. Refer to “Capital, Liquidity and Market Related Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the “Liquidity—Corporate Liquidity” section included herein for additional information about MBIA Inc.’s liquidity.

~~Equity securities~~

Currently, MBIA Inc. or National does not have an authorization approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase or purchase shares. MBIA Inc.’s and National’s share purchases or repurchases that were authorized under our share repurchase program for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the following table:

~~Insurance Statutory Capital~~

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

~~National~~

~~Capital and Surplus~~

National had statutory capital of $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, National’s unassigned surplus was $945 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, National had a statutory net loss of $12 million. Refer to the “Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)” section below for additional information on National’s statutory capital.

In order to maintain its New York State financial guarantee insurance license, National is required to maintain a minimum of $65 million of policyholders’ surplus. National is also required to maintain contingency reserves to provide protection to policyholders in the event of extreme losses in adverse economic events. As of June 30, 2021, National was in compliance with its aggregate risk limits under New York Insurance Law (“NYIL”), but was not in compliance with certain of its single risk limits. If National does not comply with its single risk limits, the NYSDFS may prevent National from transacting any new financial guarantee insurance business.

~~Table of Contents~~

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

~~CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)~~

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

National had positive earned surplus as of June 30, 2021 from which it may pay dividends, subject to the limitations described above. We expect the as-of-right declared and paid dividend amounts from National to be limited to prior year adjusted net investment income for the foreseeable future.

~~Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)~~

CPR is a key measure of the resources available to National to pay claims under its insurance policies. CPR consists of total financial resources and reserves calculated on a statutory basis. CPR has been a common measure used by financial guarantee insurance companies to report and compare resources and continues to be used by MBIA’s management to evaluate changes in such resources. We have provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate National using the same measure that MBIA’s management uses to evaluate National’s resources to pay claims under its insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure. Our calculation of CPR may differ from the calculation of CPR reported by other companies.

~~MBIA Insurance Corporation~~

~~Capital and Surplus~~

MBIA Insurance Corporation had statutory capital of $160 million as of June 30, 2021 compared with $273 million as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, MBIA Insurance Corporation’s negative unassigned surplus was $1.9 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, MBIA Insurance Corporation had a statutory net loss of $72 million. Refer to the “Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)” section below for additional information on MBIA Insurance Corporation’s statutory capital.

In the first quarter of 2021, MBIA received a court decision against Credit Suisse holding it liable to MBIA Corp. for approximately $604 million in damages relating to put-back claims and the parties to the litigation subsequently entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which Credit Suisse paid MBIA Corp. $600 million. As of June 30, 2021, MBIA Insurance Corporation’s estimated salvage on a statutory basis primarily related to recoveries on CDOs and excess spread recoveries on RMBS.

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

~~CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)~~

In order to maintain its New York State financial guarantee insurance license, MBIA Insurance Corporation is required to maintain a minimum of $65 million of policyholders’ surplus. MBIA Insurance Corporation is also required to maintain contingency reserves to provide protection to policyholders in the event of extreme losses in adverse economic events. Pursuant to a non-disapproval by the NYSDFS, and in accordance with NYIL, MBIA Insurance Corporation released to surplus $125 million of excessive contingency reserves during the three months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, MBIA Insurance Corporation was in compliance with its aggregate risk limits under the NYIL, but was not in compliance with certain of its single risk limits. If MBIA Insurance Corporation does not comply with its single risk limits, the NYSDFS may prevent MBIA Insurance Corporation from transacting any new financial guarantee insurance business.

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

The NYSDFS has not approved MBIA Insurance Corporation’s requests to make interest payments on MBIA Insurance Corporation’s Surplus Notes due January 15, 2033 (the “Surplus Notes”) since, and including, the January 15, 2013 interest payment. The NYSDFS has cited both MBIA Insurance Corporation’s liquidity and financial condition as well as the availability of “free and divisible surplus” as the basis for such non-approvals. As of July 15, 2021, the most recent scheduled interest payment date, there was $1.1 billion of unpaid interest on the par amount outstanding of $953 million of the Surplus Notes. Under Section 1307 of the NYIL and the Fiscal Agency Agreement governing the surplus notes, Surplus Note payments may be made only with the prior approval by the NYSDFS and if MBIA Insurance Corporation has sufficient “Eligible Surplus”, or as we believe, “free and divisible surplus” as an appropriate calculation of “Eligible Surplus.” As of June 30, 2021, MBIA Insurance Corporation had “free and divisible surplus” of $100 million. There is no assurance the NYSDFS will approve Surplus Note payments, notwithstanding the sufficiency of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s liquidity and financial condition. The unpaid interest on the Surplus Notes will become due on the first business day on or after which MBIA Insurance Corporation obtains approval to pay some or all of such unpaid interest. No interest has been accrued or will accrue on the deferred interest.

~~Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)~~

CPR is a key measure of the resources available to MBIA Corp. to pay claims under its insurance policies. CPR consists of total financial resources and reserves calculated on a statutory basis. CPR has been a common measure used by financial guarantee insurance companies to report and compare resources, and continues to be used by MBIA’s management to evaluate changes in such resources. We have provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate MBIA Corp., using the same measure that MBIA’s management uses to evaluate MBIA Corp.’s resources to pay claims under its insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure. Our calculation of CPR may differ from the calculation of CPR reported by other companies.

~~LIQUIDITY~~

We use a liquidity risk management framework, the primary objective of which is to match liquidity resources to needs. We monitor our cash and liquid asset resources using cash forecasting and stress-scenario testing. Members of MBIA’s senior management meet regularly to review liquidity metrics, discuss contingency plans and establish target liquidity levels. We evaluate and manage liquidity on a legal-entity basis to take into account the legal, regulatory and other limitations on available liquidity resources within the enterprise. Additionally, we continue to monitor the current COVID-19 pandemic with respect to our cash and liquid asset positions and resources. It remains premature to predict the full impact the pandemic may have on our future liquidity position and needs. Refer to the “Executive Overview - COVID-19” section for additional information about liquidity and COVID-19. The following is a discussion of our liquidity resources and requirements for our holding company and our insurance subsidiaries.

~~National Liquidity~~

~~The primary sources of cash available to National are:~~

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

~~recoveries associated with insurance loss payments; and~~

~~installment premiums.~~

~~The primary uses of cash by National are:~~

~~loss payments and LAE on insured transactions;~~

~~payments of dividends; and~~

~~payments of operating expenses, taxes and investment portfolio asset purchases.~~

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, National held cash and investments of $2.1 billion of which $396 million and $359 million, respectively, were cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments comprised of highly rated commercial paper, money market funds and municipal, U.S. agency and corporate bonds.

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

~~Corporate Liquidity~~

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

~~dividends from National;~~

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

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

~~access to capital markets.~~

~~The primary uses of cash by MBIA Inc. are:~~

~~servicing outstanding unsecured corporate debt obligations and MTNs;~~

~~meeting collateral posting requirements under investment agreements and derivative arrangements;~~

~~payments related to interest rate swaps;~~

~~payments of operating expenses; and~~

~~funding share repurchases and debt buybacks.~~

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the liquidity positions of MBIA Inc. were $238 million and $294 million, respectively, and included cash and cash equivalents and other investments comprised of highly rated commercial paper and U.S. government and asset-backed bonds.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, MBIA Inc. returned $10 million of tax payments to National as a result of tax losses incurred by National. The return was pursuant to the terms of the tax sharing agreement. Under the CARES Act, National’s 2020 taxable loss became subject to a five-year NOL carry-back, which allowed it to recover taxes paid in years in which the tax rate was 35%. There can be no assurance that any future payments under the Tax Escrow Account from subsidiaries will be released to MBIA Inc. due to deductible or creditable tax attributes of those subsidiaries and/or the market value performance of the assets supporting the Tax Escrow Account.

~~Table of Contents~~

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

~~LIQUIDITY (continued)~~

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

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

~~MBIA Corp. Liquidity~~

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

~~recoveries associated with insurance loss payments;~~

~~installment premiums and fees; and~~

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

~~The primary uses of cash by MBIA Corp. are:~~

~~loss and LAE or commutation payments on insured transactions;~~

~~repayment of the Refinanced Facility; and~~

~~payments of operating expenses.~~

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, MBIA Corp. held cash and investments of $664 million and $243 million, respectively, of which $461 million and $130 million, respectively, were cash and cash equivalents or liquid investments comprised of money market funds and municipal, U.S. Treasury and corporate bonds that were immediately available to MBIA Insurance Corporation. The increase in cash and investments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to the collection of proceeds from the settlement of the Credit Suisse litigation.

Insured transactions that require payment of scheduled debt service payments insured when due or payment in full of the principal insured at maturity could present liquidity risk for MBIA Corp., as any salvage recoveries from such payments could be recovered over an extended period of time after the payment is made. MBIA Corp. is generally required to satisfy claims within one to three business days, and as a result seeks to identify potential claims in advance through our monitoring process. In order to monitor liquidity risk and maintain appropriate liquidity resources, we use the same methodology as we use to monitor credit quality and losses within our insured portfolio, including stress scenarios. Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our loss process.

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2021, MBIA Corp. allocated and paid $150 million towards the prepayment of the Refinanced Facility.~~

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities ~~increased~~decreased for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared with the same period of ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to proceeds received in the first half of 2021 from loan repurchase commitments of $600 million as a result of the settlement of the Credit Suisse litigation and an increase of $279 million of losses and LAE paid in the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2021.~~2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to the acceleration and commutation payments pursuant the GO PSA. This was partially offset by an increase of $555 million of proceeds from insurance recoveries, net of salvage paid to reinsurers in the first half of 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021, primarily from the collection related to the GO PSA and the sale of certain PREPA bankruptcy claims.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities ~~increased~~decreased for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared with the same period of ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to a net decrease in sales, maturities and purchases of available-for-sale investments of $404 million, a decrease in repayments of held-to-maturity investments of $315 million due to the deconsolidation of a VIE in the first quarter of 2020 and a net decrease in sales, maturities andless cash used for purchases of short-term investments, ~~of $310 million.~~net and less cash used for derivative settlements.

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared with the same period of ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to a decrease in ~~purchases of treasury stock of $133 million and~~ principal ~~repayments~~paydowns of VIE notes of ~~$124 million.~~$135 million driven by the partial repayment of the MZ Funding senior notes in the first half of 2021.

Consolidated Investments

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

Refer to “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies,” and “Note 7: Investments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our accounting policies and investments.

~~Credit Quality~~

The credit quality distribution of the Company’s AFS fixed-maturity investment portfolios, excluding short-term investments, are based on ratings from Moody’s and alternate ratings sources, such as S&P or the best estimate of the ratings assigned by the Company, have been used for a small percentage of securities that are not rated by Moody’s. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the weighted average credit quality rating of the Company’s AFS fixed-maturity investment portfolio, excluding short-term investments, was AaA and ~~93%~~83% of the investments were investment grade. The investments in investment grade decreased from 92% in 2021 to 83% in 2022 as a result of the GO PSA and the receipt of the GO bonds.

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

~~Item 2. Management’s Discussion~~June 30, 2022 and ~~Analysis~~December 31, 2021, the Company had $162 million of ~~Financial Condition~~unrealized losses and ~~Results~~$138 million of ~~Operations~~

unrealized gains, respectively, net of deferred taxes related to its investment portfolio recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. The unrealized losses during 2022 resulted from higher interest rates and wider credit spreads.

~~LIQUIDITY (continued)~~

Insured Investments

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

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Insured Investments at fair value represented ~~$255~~$279 million or 9% of consolidated investments, of which ~~$228~~$255 million or 8%9% of consolidated investments were Company-Insured Investments. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, based on the actual or estimated underlying ratings of our consolidated investment portfolio, without giving effect to financial guarantees, the weighted average rating of only the Insured Investments in the investment portfolio would be in the below investment grade range. Without giving effect to the National and MBIA Corp. guarantees of the Company-Insured Investments in the consolidated investment portfolio, as of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, based on actual or estimated underlying ratings, the weighted average rating of the consolidated investment portfolio was in the AaA range. The weighted average rating of only the Company-Insured Investments was in the below investment grade range, and investments rated below investment grade in the Company-Insured Investments were 7%8% of the total consolidated investment portfolio.

National Liquidity

The primary sources of cash available to National are:

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

recoveries associated with insurance loss payments; and

installment premiums.

The primary uses of cash by National are:

loss payments and LAE on insured transactions;

payments of dividends; and

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

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, National held cash and investments of $2.5 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of which $520 million and $199 million, respectively, were cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments comprised of highly rated commercial paper, money market funds and municipal, U.S. agency and corporate bonds.

Corporate Liquidity

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

dividends from National;

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

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

access to capital markets.

The primary uses of cash by MBIA Inc. are:

servicing outstanding unsecured corporate debt obligations and MTNs;

meeting collateral posting requirements under investment agreements and derivative arrangements;

payments related to interest rate swaps;

payments of operating expenses; and

funding share repurchases and debt buybacks.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liquidity positions of MBIA Inc. were $188 million and $239 million, respectively, and included cash and cash equivalents and other investments comprised of highly rated commercial paper and U.S. government and asset-backed bonds.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

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

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

MBIA Corp. Liquidity

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

recoveries associated with insurance loss payments;

installment premiums and fees; and

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

The primary uses of cash by MBIA Corp. are:

loss and LAE or commutation payments on insured transactions; and

payments of operating expenses.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, MBIA Corp. held cash and investments of $368 million and $544 million, respectively, of which $78 million and $310 million, respectively, were cash and cash equivalents or liquid investments comprised of money market funds and municipal, U.S. Treasury and corporate bonds that were immediately available to MBIA Insurance Corporation.

During the second quarter of 2022, MBIA Corp. repaid in full the outstanding amount of the subordinated notes between MZ Funding and MBIA Inc. of the Refinanced Facility. These subordinated notes and the related interest are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

For a discussion of the Company’s contractual obligations, refer to ~~“Liquidity-Contractual~~“Liquidity and Capital Resources-Liquidity-Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, MBIA Corp. prepaid $150 million~~2021. As a result of the ~~Refinanced Facility~~GO PSA implemented in March of 2022 and changes to the timing and assumptions related to the HTA and PREPA credits, U.S. public finance insurance segment’s gross claim obligations due within one-year and total gross claim obligations was $730 million and $1.5 billion, respectively. Gross insurance claim obligations represent the future value of probability-weighted payments the Company’s insurance companies expects to make (before reinsurance and the consolidation of VIEs) under insurance policies for which the Company ~~repurchased $63 million par value outstanding~~has recorded loss reserves. Certain probability-weighted payments incorporate commutation and/or acceleration of specific exposures and, therefore, expected payments may differ from those the Company is contractually obligated to make. Also, these amounts exclude any recoveries the Company expects to receive related to these estimated payments or to claims paid in prior periods. For certain of our estimated future payments, the amount of recoveries expected to be received in the future will offset some or all of the ~~GFL MTNs issued by our corporate segment.~~payments. There were no other material changes in contractual obligations since December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

Capital Resources

In addition to scheduled debt maturities, from time to time, we reduce unsecured debt through calls or repurchases. Also, MBIA Inc. may repurchase or National may purchase outstanding MBIA Inc. common shares when we deem it beneficial to our shareholders. Purchases or repurchases of debt and common stock may be made from time to time in the open market or in private transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. We may also choose to redeem debt obligations where permitted by the relevant agreements. MBIA Inc. or National may acquire or redeem outstanding common shares of MBIA Inc. and outstanding debt obligations at prices when we deem it beneficial to our shareholders. We seek to maintain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet the Company’s general corporate needs and debt service. Based on MBIA Inc.’s debt service requirements and expected operating expenses, we expect that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient resources to satisfy its debt obligations and its general corporate needs over time from distributions from National; however, there can be no assurance that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient resources to do so. In addition, the Company may also consider raising third-party capital. Refer to “Capital, Liquidity and Market Related Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity—Corporate Liquidity” section included herein for additional information about MBIA Inc.’s liquidity.

Debt securities

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

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, MBIA Corp. repaid in full the outstanding amount of the subordinated notes between MZ Funding and MBIA Inc. of the Refinanced Facility. These subordinated notes and the related interest are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

Insurance Statutory Capital

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

National – Statutory Capital and Surplus

National had statutory capital of $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, National’s unassigned surplus was $1.0 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, National had statutory net income of $60 million. Refer to the “National-Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)” section below for additional information on National’s statutory capital.

In order to maintain its New York State financial guarantee insurance license, National is required to maintain a minimum of $65 million of policyholders’ surplus. National is also required to maintain contingency reserves to provide protection to policyholders in the event of extreme losses in adverse economic events. As of June 30, 2022, National was in compliance with its aggregate risk limits under New York Insurance Law (“NYIL”), but was not in compliance with certain of its single risk limits. Since National does not comply with certain of its single risk limits, the NYSDFS could prevent National from transacting any new financial guarantee insurance business.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

National had positive earned surplus as of June 30, 2022 from which it may pay dividends, subject to the limitations described above. We expect the as-of-right declared and paid dividend amounts from National to be limited to prior year adjusted net investment income for the foreseeable future.

MBIA Insurance Corporation – Statutory Capital and Surplus

MBIA Insurance Corporation had statutory capital of $118 million as of June 30, 2022 compared with $134 million as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, MBIA Insurance Corporation’s negative unassigned surplus was $1.9 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, MBIA Insurance Corporation had a statutory net loss of $20 million. Refer to the “MBIA Insurance Corporation—Claims-Paying Resources (Statutory Basis)” section below for additional information on MBIA Insurance Corporation’s statutory capital.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

In order to maintain its New York State financial guarantee insurance license, MBIA Insurance Corporation is required to maintain a minimum of $65 million of policyholders’ surplus. In addition, under NYIL, MBIA Insurance Corporation is required to invest its minimum surplus and contingency reserves and 50% of its loss reserves and unearned premium reserves in certain qualifying assets. As of June 30, 2022, MBIA Insurance Corporation maintained its minimum requirement of policyholders’ surplus but did not have enough qualifying assets to support its contingency reserves and 50% of its loss reserves and unearned premium reserves. As of June 30, 2022, MBIA Insurance Corporation was in compliance with its aggregate risk limits under the NYIL, but was not in compliance with certain of its single risk limits. Since MBIA Insurance Corporation does not comply with its single risk limits, the NYSDFS could prevent MBIA Insurance Corporation from transacting any new financial guarantee insurance business.

MBIA Insurance Corporation is also required to maintain contingency reserves to provide protection to policyholders in the event of extreme losses in adverse economic events. Pursuant to a non-disapproval by the NYSDFS, and in accordance with NYIL, MBIA Insurance Corporation released to surplus $32 million of excessive contingency reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2022. In accordance with this contingency reserve release, MBIA Corp. will maintain a fixed $5 million of contingency reserves.

The NYSDFS has not approved MBIA Insurance Corporation’s requests to make interest payments on MBIA Insurance Corporation’s Surplus Notes due January 15, 2033 (the “Surplus Notes”) since, and including, the January 15, 2013 interest payment. The NYSDFS has cited both MBIA Insurance Corporation’s liquidity and financial condition as well as the availability of “free and divisible surplus” as the basis for such non-approvals. As of July 15, 2022, the most recent scheduled interest payment date, there was $1.2 billion of unpaid interest on the par amount outstanding of $953 million of the Surplus Notes. Under Section 1307 of the NYIL and the Fiscal Agency Agreement governing the surplus notes, Surplus Note payments may be made only with the prior approval by the NYSDFS and if MBIA Insurance Corporation has sufficient “Eligible Surplus”, or as we believe, “free and divisible surplus” as an appropriate calculation of “Eligible Surplus.” As of June 30, 2022, MBIA Insurance Corporation had “free and divisible surplus” of $95 million. There is no assurance the NYSDFS will approve Surplus Note payments, notwithstanding the sufficiency of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s liquidity and financial condition. The unpaid interest on the Surplus Notes will become due on the first business day on or after which MBIA Insurance Corporation obtains approval to pay some or all of such unpaid interest. No interest has been accrued or will accrue on the deferred interest.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

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

For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” and “Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a current description of estimates used in our insurance loss reserving process and information about our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value, including valuation techniques and significant inputs.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s market risk exposures relate to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads that affect the fair value of its financial instruments, primarily investment securities, MTNs and investment agreement liabilities. The Company’s investments are primarily U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-income securities including municipal bonds, U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds, MBS and asset-backed securities. In periods of rising and/or volatile interest rates, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads, profitability could be adversely affected should the Company have to liquidate these securities. The Company minimizes its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and credit spread movement through active portfolio management to ensure a proper mix of the types of securities held and to stagger the maturities of its fixed-income securities. The following table presents updates in our market risk relating to foreign exchange rates. There were no material changes in market risk since December 31, ~~2020~~2021 related to interest ~~rates, foreign exchange~~ rates and credit spreads. For a discussion of our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk related to these risks, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in respect of liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Certain liabilities included in our corporate segment are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company’s foreign exchange rate risks is with the Euro. Foreign exchange rate sensitivity can be estimated by projecting a hypothetical instantaneous increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates. The following table presents the estimated pre-tax change in fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 from instantaneous shifts in foreign exchange rates:


	Change in Foreign Exchange Rates

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following should be read in conjunction with and supplements the risk factors described under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Insured Portfolio Loss Related Risk Factors

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

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

In particular, while the Commonwealth of Puerto ~~Rico and several of~~has completed its public corporations and instrumentalities, which have reported significant fiscal stress, are currently in bankruptcy-like proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico,court-ordered restructuring pursuant to the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”)., two of its public corporations and instrumentalities, the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (“HTA”) and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”), are currently in bankruptcy-like proceedings under PROMESA in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico.

The extent and duration of any aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other federal agencies that may be offered to Puerto Rico is uncertain. Further, greater involvement of the federal government through its action to deliver disaster relief and support services to Puerto Rico heightens the political risk already inherent in the legacy debt restructuring. This risk could lead the independent oversight board created by PROMESA to oversee Puerto Rico’s debt restructuring (the “Oversight Board”), Puerto Rico itself, or the federal government to seek to extract greater concessions from creditors based on the uncertainty of Puerto Rico’s long term recovery prospects. In this event, losses at National on select Puerto Rico exposures could increase materially.

As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, National had ~~$2.9~~$2.1 billion of debt service outstanding related to Puerto Rico. Since 2016, Puerto Rico ~~may be~~has been unable or unwilling to pay ~~their~~its obligations as and when due, ~~in which case~~and National ~~would be~~has been required to pay claims of unpaid principal and interest when due under its insurance policies as a consequence. Puerto Rico may continue to fail to make payments when due, which could cause National to make additional claims payments which could be material. On January 1, ~~2021~~2022 and July 1, ~~2021,~~2022, Puerto Rico defaulted on scheduled debt service for certain National insured bonds and ~~as a result,~~ National paid gross claims in the aggregate of ~~$277~~$189 million. While National will seek to recover any claim payments it makes under its guarantees, there is no assurance that it will be able to recover such payments. To the extent that its claims payments are ultimately substantially greater than its claims recoveries, National would experience losses on those obligations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~On February 22, 2021, National agreed to join a Plan Support Agreement, dated as~~The Title III cases for the Commonwealth of ~~February 22, 2021 (the “GO PSA”), among the Oversight Board, certain holders of GO Bonds~~Puerto Rico and PBA ~~Bonds, Assured Guaranty Corp.~~were confirmed on January 18, 2022, and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp, and Syncora Guarantee Inc. in connection with the GO and PBA Title III cases. The GO PSA provides that, among other things, National shall receive a pro rata share of allocable cash, newly issued General Obligation bonds, a contingent value instrument and certain fees. The GO PSA also permitted National to terminate its participation in the GO PSAbecame effective on ~~or prior to~~ March ~~31, 2021, which date was extended ultimately to May 5, 2021.~~15, 2022. On April 12, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board reached an agreement in principle settling certain clawback claims and providing for a distribution of cash, bonds and a contingent value instrument to ~~HTA~~ bondholders in the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (“HTA”) Title III case subject to completing negotiations on a plan support agreement in respect of an HTA plan of adjustment (the “HTA PSA”). On May 5, 2021, National, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and the Oversight Board entered into the HTA PSA. ~~The~~On May 2, 2022, the Oversight Board ~~has committed~~filed the Title III Plan of Adjustment for the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (the “HTA Plan”), together with the Disclosure Statement and supporting documents. On June 22, 2022, the Disclosure Statement was approved by the Court. Confirmation is scheduled for August 17 and 18, 2022. During July of 2022 and pursuant to ~~filing a plan~~the HTA PSA, National received $33 million of ~~adjustment for~~cash and $358 million face amount of CVI relating to HTA. In addition, National expects to receive additional cash and newly issued HTA ~~by January 31, 2022. The GO PSA contemplates a Commonwealth plan becoming~~bonds, or cash equal to the face amount of the newly issued HTA bonds, following the effective ~~on or before December 15, 2021; however there can be no assurance that such plans will become effective, or on~~date of the ~~contemplated timeline.~~HTA Plan.

On ~~May 3, 2019, PREPA, the Oversight Board,~~March 8, 2022, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”)~~, the Ad Hoc Group of~~ and PREPA ~~bondholders (the “Ad Hoc Group”), and Assured Guaranty Corp. and Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. entered into~~terminated a Definitive Restructuring Support Agreement ~~which was amended on September 9, 2019 to include National and Syncora Guarantee, Inc. as supporting parties~~ (as amended, the “RSA”). ~~The Rule 9019 hearing~~On April 8, 2022, the Court appointed a new panel of judges to approve the RSA has been delayed several times, and most recently was adjourned due to the coronavirus crisis until further notice. The debt restructuring contemplated by the RSA will not be effective until (i) confirmation of a plan of adjustment under PROMESA, (ii) negotiation and consummation of definitive documentation and legal opinions, (iii) enactment and implementation of supportive Puerto Rico legislation and (iv) receipt of Puerto Rico regulatory approval, each of which outcome is uncertain and subject to varying degrees of risk. In addition, the restructuring the RSA contemplates has received criticism from various parties including members of the Puerto Rico government and other stakeholders. This opposition could adversely affect the ability ofcommence mediation among the Oversight Board, the Ad Hoc creditor group as holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and ~~RSA Parties~~Syncora (the “April 8 Order”). The mediation deadline is currently August 15, 2022. The April 8 Order further provides that nothing therein acts as a stay of any pending adversary proceedings or contested matters in the PREPA case, subject to ~~obtain~~ the ~~Rule 9019 Order and approve~~Court’s pending request to the ~~RSA.~~Oversight Board for a status report by August 15, 2022.

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

MBIA Corp. Risk Factors

Continuing elevated loss payments and delay or failure in realizing expected recoveries on insured transactions may materially and adversely affect MBIA Insurance Corporation’s statutory capital and its ability to meet liquidity needs and could cause the NYSDFS to put MBIA Insurance Corporation into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding if the NYSDFS concludes that MBIA Insurance Corporation will not be able to pay expected claims.

MBIA Insurance Corporation is particularly sensitive to the risk that it will not have sufficient capital or liquid resources to meet contractual payment obligations when due or to make settlement payments in order to terminate insured exposures to avoid losses. While management’s expected liquidity and capital forecasts for MBIA Insurance Corporation reflect adequate resources to pay expected claims, there are risks to the capital and liquidity forecasts as MBIA Insurance Corporation’s remaining insured exposures and its expected salvage recoveries are potentially volatile. Such volatility exists in salvage that MBIA Insurance Corporation may collect, including in particular recoveries on the claims it paid in respect of the insured notes issued by Zohar collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) 2003-1, Limited and Zohar II 2005-1 CDO (collectively, the “Zohar Claims Payments”), and the exposure in its remaining insured portfolio, which could deteriorate and result in significant additional loss reserves and claim payments, including claims on insured exposures that in some cases may require large bullet payments.

In July of 2019, MBIA Insurance Corporation consummated a financing facility (the “Refinanced Facility”) between MZ Funding LLC (“MZ Funding”) and certain purchasers, pursuant to which the purchasers or their affiliates (collectively, the “Senior Lenders”), agreed to refinance the outstanding insured senior notes of MZ Funding, and MBIA Inc. received amended subordinated notes of MZ Funding. In connection with the Refinanced Facility, the Senior Lenders purchased new senior notes issued by MZ Funding with an aggregate principal amount of $278 million. During 2021, MBIA Corp. repaid in full the outstanding amount of the insured senior notes and in April of 2022, the remaining subordinated notes of MZ Funding matured and MBIA Corp. repaid in full. The Refinanced Facility is described in more detail in “Note 10: Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

While MBIA Insurance Corporation believes that it will receive substantial recoveries on the loans made to, and equity interests in, companies that, until late March of 2020, were purportedly controlled and managed by the sponsor and former collateral manager of the Zohar CDOs referenced above (collectively, the “Zohar Collateral”), recoveries thus far on the Zohar CDOs’ interests in the portfolio companies have been below expectations, and there remains significant uncertainty with respect to the realizable value of the remaining Zohar Collateral. Since March of 2018, MBIA Corp. has been pursuing those recoveries in a Delaware bankruptcy proceeding filed by the Zohar CDOs. Pursuant to a plan of liquidation confirmed in such bankruptcy proceeding regarding the Zohar CDOs and the remaining Zohar Collateral not previously monetized, which plan of liquidation became effective on August 2, 2022, MBIA Corp.’s rights to recoveries from any remaining Zohar Collateral were distributed to MBIA Corp. in the form of beneficial interests in certain asset recovery entities, which will be managed by a special manager subject to oversight by MBIA Corp. and another former Zohar creditor. There still remains significant uncertainty with respect to the realizable value of the remaining loans and equity interests that formerly constituted the Zohar Collateral and that comprise the assets of the asset recovery entities. Further, as the monetization of these assets unfolds in coordination with the special manager of the asset recovery entities and the directors and managers in place at the portfolio companies, and new information concerning the financial condition of the portfolio companies is disclosed, the Company will continue to revise its expectations for recoveries.

If the amount of recoveries on the Zohar Collateral falls below our expectations, MBIA Insurance Corporation would likely incur additional and potentially substantial losses, which could materially impair its statutory capital and liquidity. Further, MBIA Insurance Corporation believes that if the NYSDFS concludes at any time that MBIA Insurance Corporation will not be able to satisfy its obligations under its other issued policies, the NYSDFS would likely put MBIA Insurance Corporation into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding under Article 74 of the NYIL and/or take such other actions as the NYSDFS may deem necessary to protect the interests of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s policyholders. The determination to commence such a proceeding or take other such actions is within the exclusive control of the NYSDFS. The NYSDFS enjoys broad discretion in this regard, and any determination they may make would not be limited to consideration of the matters described above. As noted, however, given the separation of MBIA Inc. and MBIA Corp. as distinct legal entities, the absence of any cross defaults between the entities, and the lack of reliance by MBIA Inc. on MBIA Corp. for the receipt of dividends, we do not believe that a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding of MBIA Insurance Corporation by the NYSDFS would have any material economic long-term liquidity impact on MBIA Inc.
