Press Release Details

ARMONK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MBIA Inc. (NYSE: MBI) (the Company) today reported an adjusted pre-tax loss (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $84 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with adjusted pre-tax income of $110 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. MBIA Inc. recorded consolidated net income of $132 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with consolidated net income of $636 million, or $3.26 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company’s consolidated adjusted pre-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $452 million compared with an adjusted pre-tax loss of $708 million in 2012. The Company recorded consolidated net income of $250 million, or $1.29 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with consolidated net income of $1.2 billion, or $6.33 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2012. Adjusted Book Value (ABV) per share (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) was $27.78 as of December 31, 2013 compared with $30.68 as of December 31, 2012.

“During 2013, we made very substantial progress towards moving beyond the effects of the financial crisis,” said MBIA Inc. President and Chief Financial Officer Chuck Chaplin. “The primary litigation over the reorganization of our insurance businesses was finally and favorably resolved. The financial positions of MBIA Corp. and MBIA UK were significantly stabilized by the collection of over 90 percent of the “putback” recoverable on the year-end 2012 balance sheet and the commutation of $20 billion of potentially volatile liabilities. The intercompany loan between National and MBIA Corp. was repaid, clearing a major hurdle to the re-establishment of National’s position in the municipal bond insurance business. We now await actions by the rating agencies in recognition of these significant accomplishments. We expect that National will be the primary driver of shareholder value going forward.”

“Since the third quarter, we have seen a continued trend toward lower volatility,” Mr. Chaplin continued. “After the fourth quarter ended, we saw the commutation or termination of nearly $6 billion of exposure related to CMBS and corporate CDOs, including the previously announced commutation of $3 billion of potentially highly volatile CMBS transactions. Although we recorded approximately $162 million of economic losses on insured exposures in the quarter, including the cost of the commutation, we removed a substantial amount of risk and improved the stability of our structured finance book of business. National’s earnings were consistent with expectations after disappointing results in the second and third quarters. Across the entire organization, cost reductions associated with reduced litigation, debt and staffing levels favorably impacted results in the fourth quarter.”

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

The decline in adjusted pre-tax income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared with the same period of 2012 was driven primarily by greater losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) on insured exposures, lower net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange, and lower net premiums earned, partially offset by lower operating expenses. The lower net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange were primarily the result of lower gains on sales of investments and unfavorable changes in the value of outstanding warrants, partially offset by lower foreign exchange losses and favorable changes in the value of interest rate swaps in the Asset Liability Management (ALM) asset portfolio. ABV and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) provide investors with alternative views of the Company’s operating results that management finds useful in measuring financial performance. Reconciliations of ABV to book value (BV) calculated in accordance with GAAP and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) to pre-tax income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP are attached.

The decline in reported consolidated net income was primarily due to a benefit to loss and loss adjustment expenses in the fourth quarter of 2012 that was not repeated in 2013, as well as lower unrealized gains on insured derivatives. Consolidated total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013 included $215 million of unrealized net gains on the fair value of insured derivatives compared with $397 million of unrealized net gains for the same period of 2012. The unrealized net gains on the fair value of insured derivatives in the fourth quarter of 2013 were principally the result of the effects of improvements in the value of underlying reference obligations. The unrealized net gains on insured credit derivatives in the fourth quarter of 2012 resulted from a less favorable market perception of MBIA Insurance Corporation's (MBIA Corp.) credit quality, shorter weighted average lives due to the passage of time, favorable movements in credit spreads and pricing on collateral within the transactions, partially offset by collateral erosion. The Company is required to adjust the values of its insured credit derivatives for the market's perception of its nonperformance risk. A decrease in the value of the insured credit derivative liability attributable to an increase in nonperformance risk is reflected as an unrealized gain, while an increase in the value of the insured credit derivative liability attributable to a decline in nonperformance risk is reflected as an unrealized loss in the income statement. Consolidated total expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 included $25 million of net insurance loss and loss adjustment expenses compared with a benefit of $280 million for the same period of 2012. The benefit to loss and loss adjustment expenses in the fourth quarter of 2012 was driven by increased expectations of recoveries related to ineligible mortgage loans in insured securitizations.

Full Year 2013 Results

The reduction in the adjusted pre-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in insurance losses and LAE, lower net investment losses related to other-than-temporary impairments and higher net gains on the extinguishment of debt, partially offset by lower premiums earned and lower net investment income.

Consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 included $232 million of net gains on insured derivatives compared with $1.5 billion of net gains for 2012. The net gains on insured derivatives in 2013 were principally the result of changes in the weighted average life on transactions, commuting derivative liabilities at prices below their fair values and favorable changes in spreads and pricing on collateral, partially offset by the effects of MBIA Corp.’s nonperformance risk on its derivative liabilities. The net gains on insured derivatives in 2012 were principally associated with the effects of MBIA Corp.’s nonperformance risk on its derivative liabilities, commuting derivative liabilities at prices below their fair values and favorable movements in spreads and pricing on collateral. Consolidated total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 included $117 million of net insurance loss and LAE compared with $50 million for 2012. The increase in net insurance loss and LAE in 2013 when compared with 2012 was principally related to increases in losses related to certain U.S. public finance transactions. In addition, consolidated total expenses for 2013 included expenses of approximately $97 million related to settlement, consulting and legal expenses associated with the resolution of litigation matters and settlements.

U.S. Public Finance Insurance Results

The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance business is primarily conducted through its National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (National) subsidiary. The U.S. public finance insurance segment recorded $89 million of pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $202 million of pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decline in pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the same period of 2012 was driven by $74 million of net gains on asset sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 that did not recur in the fourth quarter of 2013, a decline in total premiums earned due to lower market refunding activity and portfolio amortization, and lower net investment income due to lower average yields on the investment portfolio following the repayment of the secured loan that National had extended to MBIA Corp.

National had qualified statutory capital of $3.3 billion and claims-paying resources totaling $5.3 billion as of December 31, 2013.

Structured Finance and International Insurance Results

The structured finance and international insurance business is primarily conducted through MBIA Corp. and its subsidiaries.

The structured finance and international insurance segment had pre-tax income of $224 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with pre-tax income of $715 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2013 declined compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to an increase in financial guarantee insurance losses and lower net gains on the fair value of insured derivatives. Financial guarantee losses and LAE totaled $25 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with a net benefit of $286 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 that resulted from increased expectations of recoveries related to ineligible mortgage loans in insured securitizations.

The structured finance and international insurance segment had an adjusted pre-tax loss of $159 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with an adjusted pre-tax loss of $13 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The adjusted pre-tax loss increased principally due to greater losses on insured exposures and lower net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange, partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from the repayment in full of the National Secured Loan in May of 2013.

The following is a summary of MBIA Corp.’s insured portfolio economic loss (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) activity in the fourth quarter:

4Q 2013 Economic Loss (Benefit) Activity
		Second-			First-
		Lien			Lien			ABS
($ in millions)		RMBS			RMBS			CDO			CMBS			Other			Total
Increase (Decrease) in Expected Payments		$28			$(68)			$56			$99			$(15)			$100
(Increase) Decrease in Expected Salvage		56			1			(8)			10			3			62
Total Economic Losses (Benefit)		$84			$(67)			$48			$109			$(12)			$162

Losses, credit impairments (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) and loss-related expenses on insured exposures totaled $162 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with $38 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Economic losses in the fourth quarter of 2013 were driven primarily by the cost of a commutation in excess of third quarter loss reserves and changes to interest rate assumptions used in estimating losses. The commutation removed $3 billion of CMBS exposure comprised of originally single-A rated collateral. MBIA Corp. has approximately $760 million of CMBS exposure remaining in which the reference obligations were originally rated triple-B, of which approximately $391 million is expected to generate losses in the next few years and for which MBIA Corp. has established statutory loss reserves. In addition, it has $3.3 billion of insured exposure where the underlying reference obligations are originally triple-A rated CMBS.

As of December 31, 2013, MBIA Corp.’s statutory balance sheet reflected $883 million in cash and invested assets. Cash, short-term investments and other highly liquid investments available to meet liquidity demands, excluding amounts held by subsidiaries, totaled $827 million. The Company believes MBIA Corp.’s current liquidity position, together with future cash inflows, is adequate to make expected future claim payments.

MBIA Corp. had qualified statutory capital of $825 million and claims-paying resources totaling $3.5 billion as of December 31, 2013.

Advisory Services

The Company’s Advisory Services business is primarily conducted in its Cutwater Asset Management subsidiary. The Advisory Services segment recorded a pre-tax loss of $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with pre-tax income of $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The pre-tax loss in the fourth quarter of 2013 was driven primarily by lower fees due to declines in assets under management.

MBIA Inc. Holding Company

MBIA Inc. contains the Corporate segment and Wind-down Operations. General corporate activities are conducted through the Corporate segment. The Company’s corporate operations primarily consist of holding company activities, including its shared services company. The Company’s Wind-down Operations comprise its ALM and Conduit segments, both of which are in run-off.

The Corporate segment recorded a pre-tax loss of $31 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with a pre-tax loss of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in the Corporate segment's pre-tax loss was primarily driven by a reduction in fees from affiliates, partially offset by lower compensation and consulting expenses. The fees for affiliate services may vary significantly from period to period.

The Company’s Wind-down Operations recorded pre-tax income of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with a pre-tax loss of $51 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The favorable change in pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 was driven by lower operating expenses of consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs), net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange compared with net losses in the fourth quarter of 2012, and greater net gains on the extinguishment of debt in 2013. The lower operating expenses of consolidated VIEs resulted from lower fees paid to the Corporate segment. The net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange resulted from foreign exchange gains in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with losses in the comparable period of 2012, and greater gains on interest rate swaps in the ALM asset portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, MBIA Inc. had liquidity of $359 million comprising cash and liquid assets of $307 million held in the Corporate segment available for general corporate liquidity purposes and $52 million not pledged directly as collateral held in the asset/liability products segment. MBIA Inc. seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its general corporate needs as well as the needs of the asset/liability products operations. These amounts exclude the amounts held in escrow under its tax sharing agreement, $160 million of which was released to MBIA Inc. in January 2014. The Company’s consolidated net operating loss (NOL) carryforward as of December 31, 2013 was $2.7 billion. The Company expects to fully utilize the NOL carryforward prior to its expiration.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Adjusted Book Value: Adjusted Book Value (ABV), a non-GAAP measure, is used by the Company to supplement its analysis of GAAP book value. The Company uses ABV as a measure of fundamental value and considers the change in ABV an important measure of periodic financial performance. ABV adjusts GAAP book value to remove the impact of certain items which the Company believes will reverse over time, as well as to 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 which the likelihood and amount can be reasonably estimated. ABV assumes no new business activity. The Company has presented ABV to allow investors and analysts to evaluate the Company using the same measure that MBIA’s management regularly uses to measure financial performance. ABV is not a substitute for and should not be viewed in isolation from GAAP book value.

ABV is calculated on a consolidated basis and a segment basis. ABV by segment provides information about each segment’s contribution to consolidated ABV and is calculated using the same formula. ABV per share represents that amount of ABV allocated to each common share outstanding at the measurement date.

Adjusted Pre-tax Income (Loss): Adjusted pre-tax income (loss), a non-GAAP measure, is used by the Company to supplement its analysis of GAAP pre-tax income (loss). The Company uses adjusted pre-tax income (loss) as a measure of fundamental periodic financial performance. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) adjusts GAAP pre-tax income (loss) to remove the effects of consolidating insured VIEs and gains and losses related to fair valuing insured credit derivatives, which the Company believes will reverse over time, and adds in changes in the present value of insurance claims the Company expects to pay on insured credit derivatives based on its ongoing insurance loss monitoring and loss adjustment expenses. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) is not a substitute for and should not be viewed in isolation from GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and the Company’s definition of adjusted pre-tax income (loss) may differ from that used by other companies.

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

Credit Impairments on Insured Derivatives: Credit impairments on insured derivatives represent actual net payments for the period plus the present value of the Company’s estimate of expected future net claim payments for such transactions, using a discount rate required by statutory accounting principles, plus loss adjustment expenses. Since the Company’s insured credit derivatives have similar terms, conditions, risks, and economic profiles to its financial guarantee insurance policies, the Company evaluates them for impairment periodically in the same way that it estimates loss and loss adjustment expenses for its financial guarantee insurance policies. Credit impairments on insured derivatives are equal to the Company’s statutory losses and loss adjustment expenses for such contracts.

Credit impairments on insured derivatives may differ from the fair values recorded in the Company’s financial statements. The Company expects that the majority of its exposure written in derivative form will not be settled at fair value. The fair value of an insured derivative contract will be influenced by a variety of market and transaction-specific factors that may be unrelated to potential future claim payments. In the absence of credit impairments or the termination of derivatives at losses, the cumulative unrealized losses recorded from fair valuing insured derivatives should reverse before or at the maturity of the contracts. Contracts also may be settled prior to maturity at amounts that may be more or less than their recorded fair values. Those settlements can result in realized gains or losses, and the reversal of unrealized losses. For these reasons, the Company believes its disclosure of credit impairments on insured derivatives provides additional meaningful information to investors about potential realized losses on these contracts.

Economic Losses: Economic losses for a reporting period represent the change in the discounted values of net payments without regard to the manner in which they are presented in the Company’s financial statements. Economic losses are calculated in accordance with GAAP, with the exception of those related to insured credit derivative impairments. The amounts reported for insured credit derivative impairments are calculated in accordance with U.S. STAT because GAAP does not contain a comparable measurement basis for these contracts. Losses and recoverables on VIEs that are eliminated in consolidation are included because the consolidation of these VIEs does not impact whether or not the Company will be required to make payments under insurance contracts. As a result of the different accounting bases of amounts, the total economic losses represent a non-GAAP measure.
