MGIC INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2023March 31, 2024
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
MGIC Investment Corporation is a holding company which, through Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (“MGIC”), is principally engaged in the mortgage insurance business. We provide mortgage insurance to lenders throughout the United States and to government sponsored entities to protect against loss from defaults on low down payment residential mortgage loans. MGIC Assurance Corporation (“MAC”) and MGIC Indemnity Corporation (“MIC”), insurance subsidiaries of MGIC, provide insurance for certain mortgages under Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”) credit risk transfer programs.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MGIC Investment Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting and do not include all of the other information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20222023 included in our 20222023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As used below, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MGIC Investment Corporation’s consolidated operations or to MGIC Investment Corporation, as the context requires.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly state our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated. The consolidated results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.2024.

The substantial majority of our NIW has been for loans purchased by the GSEs. The current private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements ("PMIERs") of the GSEs include financial requirements, as well as business, quality control and certain transactional approval requirements. The financial requirements of the PMIERs require a mortgage insurer’s "Available Assets" (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) to equal or exceed its "Minimum Required Assets" (which are based on an insurer's book of risk in force, calculated from tables of factors with several risk dimensions). Based on our application of the PMIERs, as of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, MGIC’s Available Assets are in excess of its Minimum Required Assets; and MGIC is in compliance with the PMIERs and eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs.

Subsequent events
We have considered subsequent events through the date of this filing.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
RecentProspective accounting and reporting developments
AccountingRelevant new amendments to accounting standards, and laws and regulationswhich are not yet effective in 2023, or early adopted, and relevant to our financial statements are described below:adopted.

Reference Rate Reform:Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: ASU 2022-062023-09
In March 2020,December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2020-042023-09 to provide temporary optional guidance to easeenhance the potential burdentransparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Income tax disclosures will require consistent categories and greater disaggregations of information in accountingthe rate reconciliation and disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for (or recognizingannual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects of) reference rate reform. It provided optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In December 2022,impacts the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, extending the election and application from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024 (originally December 31, 2022). Future electionsadoption of this standard will ease, if warranted, the requirements for accounting for the future effects of reference rate reform. We have evaluated the impact the discontinuance of LIBORguidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and have determineddisclosures, but do not expect it will not have a material impact.

Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was enacted and signed into law in the United States. The IRA includes provisions for a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases. Both of these taxes are effective in 2023. We do not expect these tax provisions to have a material impact on our consolidated financial results, including our annual estimated effective tax rate. The amount of the excise tax on the repurchase of corporate stock was immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

2023 Transactions
In the third quarter of 2023, under the terms of our 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures (“9% Debentures”), we exercised our option to redeem the outstanding principal of $21.1 million. The 9% Debentures were convertible into shares of MGIC common stock at a rate of 77.9620 shares per $1,000 principal amount. Prior to the redemption date, substantially all holders elected to convert into shares of common stock. Under the terms of the 9% Debentures, we paid cash of $28.6 million in lieu of issuing shares of common stock. The conversion of our 9% Debentures resulted in a $5.3 million reduction in our shareholders’ equity, net of tax and a reduction of 1.6 million potentially dilutive shares.

See Note 7 - “Debt” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023 for additional information pertaining to our debt obligations, including the conversion feature on the 9% Debentures.obligations. As of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Interest payments
Interest payments for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 were $35.1 million and $52.7 million, respectively.$17.1 million.

Quota share reinsurance
We have entered into QSR Transactions with panels of third-party reinsurers to cede a fixed quota share percentage of premiums earned and received and losses incurred on insurance covered by the transactions. We receive the benefit of a ceding commission equal to 20% of premiums ceded before profit commission. We also receive the benefit of a profit commission through a reduction of premiums we cede. The profit commission varies inversely with the level of losses on a “dollar for dollar” basis and can be eliminated at certain annual loss ratios higher than we have experiencedas defined below. Ceded losses incurred are impacted by the delinquencies covered by our QSR Transactions, our estimates of payments that will be ultimately made on those delinquencies, and claim payments covered by our QSR Transactions.

Each of our QSR Transactions typically have annual loss ratio caps of 300% and lifetime loss ratiosratio caps of 200%.

(1) We can elect early termination of the QSR Transaction beginning on this date, and semi-annually thereafter.
(2) We can elect to reduce the quota share percentage beginning on this date, and semi-annually thereafter.
We have elected to terminate our 2020 QSR Transaction effective December 31, 2023 and will incur an early termination fee in the fourth quarter of approximately $5 million.

We agreed to terms on a 30% QSR Transaction with a group of unaffiliated reinsurers covering most of our new insurance written in 2024.

Under the terms of our QSR Transactions, ceded premiums earned, ceding commissions, profit commission, and ceded paid loss and LAE are settled net on a quarterly basis. The ceded premiums earned due, after deducting the related ceding commission and profit commission, is reported within Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The reinsurance recoverable on loss reserves related to our QSR Transactions was $40.9$39.2 million as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and $28.2$33.3 million as of December 31, 2022.2023. The reinsurance recoverable balance is secured by funds on deposit from reinsurers (which does not include letters of credit), the minimum amount of which is based on the greater of 1) a reinsurer's funding requirements under PMIERs or 2) ceded reserves and unpaid losses. Each of the reinsurers under our QSR Transactions described above has an insurer financial strength rating of A- or better (or a comparable rating) by Standard and Poor's Rating Services, A.M. Best, Moody's, or a combination of the three.

Excess of loss reinsurance
We have XOL Transactions with a panel of unaffiliated reinsurers executed through the traditional reinsurance market (“Traditional XOL Transactions”) and with unaffiliated special purpose insurers (“Home Re Transactions”).

We have entered intoFor policies covered under our Traditional XOL Transactions, with panels of third-party reinsurers. For the covered policies, we retain the first layer of the aggregate losses paid, and the reinsurers will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. We retain losses paid in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. The reinsurance coverage is subject to adjustment based on the risk characteristics of the covered loans until the initial excess of loss reinsurance coverage layer has been finalized.

We can elect to terminate our Traditional XOL Transactions under specified scenarios without penalty upon prior written notice, including if we will receive less than the full credit amount under the PMIERs, full financial statement credit or full credit under applicable regulatory capital requirements for the risk ceded in any required calculation period. The reinsurance premiums ceded tounder the Traditional XOL Transactions are based off the remaining reinsurance coverage levels. The reinsured coverage levels are secured by funds on deposit from reinsurers (which does not include letters of credit), the minimum amount of which is based on the greater of 1) a reinsurer's funding requirements under PMIERs or 2) ceded reserves and unpaid losses. Each of the reinsurers under our Traditional XOL Transactions has an insurer financial strength rating of A- or better (or a comparable rating) by Standard and Poor’s Rating Services, A.M. Best, Moody’s, or a combination of the three.

The Home Re Transactions are executed with unaffiliated special purpose insurers (“Home Re Entities”). For the reinsurance coverage periods, we retain the first layer of the respective aggregate losses paid, and a Home Re Entity will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. We retain losses paid in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. Subject to certain conditions, the reinsurance coverage decreases as the underlying covered mortgages amortize or are repaid, or mortgage insurance losses are paid.


MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 16


The Home Re Entities financed the collateral for the coverages by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes (“ILNs”) to unaffiliated investors in an aggregate amount equal to the initial reinsurance coverage amounts. Each ILN is non-recourse to any assets of MGIC or affiliates. The proceeds of the ILNs, which were deposited into reinsurance trusts for the benefit of MGIC, will be the source of reinsurance claim payments to MGIC and principal repayments on the ILNs.

Payment of principal on the related insurance-linked notes will be suspended and the reinsurance coverage available to MGIC under the transactions will not be reduced by such principal payments until a target level of credit enhancement is obtained or if certain thresholds or “Trigger Events” are reached, as defined in the related insurance-linked notes transaction agreement. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, a "Trigger Event" has occurred on our Home Re 2019-1 ILN transaction because the reinsured principal balance of loans that were reported 60 or more days delinquent exceeded a percentage of the total reinsured principal balance of loans specified under each

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q1 2024 | 16


transaction. A “Trigger Event” has also occurred on the Home Re 2023-1 transaction because the target level of credit enhancement on the most senior tranche has not been met.

In October 2023,January 2024, we exercised our optional call feature to terminate the reinsurance agreement with Home Re 2019-12020-1, Ltd., In connection with the termination, the insurance linked notes issued by Home Re 2021-12020-1 Ltd., and Home Re 2021-2 Ltd conducted tender offers for certain tranches of the mortgage insurance-linked notes that supported the reinsurance agreements with MGIC. The tender offer resulted were redeemed in the reduction in the insurance-linked notes of $187.1 million for the Home Re 2019-1 Ltd, $91.1 million for the Home Re 2021-1 Ltd., and $106.7 million for the Home Re 2021-2 Ltd. The reinsurance coverage corresponding to the tendered notes was terminated. MGIC will incur approximately $8 million of additional ceded premium in the fourth quarter associated with the cost of the tender premiums and associated expenses.

Also in October, 2023, MGIC entered into a $330.2 million excess-of-loss reinsurance agreement (executed through an insurance linked note transaction) that covers policies with inforce dates from June 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023.full.

The reinsurance premiums ceded to each Home Re Entity are composed of coverage, initial expense and supplemental premiums. The coverage premiums are generally calculated as the difference between the amount of interest payable by the Home Re Entity on the remaining reinsurance coverage levels, and the investment income collected on the collateral assets held in a reinsurance trust account and used to collateralize the Home Re Entity’s reinsurance obligation to MGIC. The amount of monthly reinsurance coverage premium ceded on the Home Re Transactions will fluctuate due to changes in the reference rate and changes in money market rates that affect investment income collected on the assets in the reinsurance trust. The Home Re 2021-2 and Home Re 2022-1 Transactions reference SOFR. The remaining Home Re Transactions referenced one-month LIBOR, and transitioned to SOFR when the one-month LIBOR rate was no longer published. As a result, we concluded that each Home Re Transaction contains an embedded derivative that is accounted for separately as a freestanding derivative. The fair values of the derivatives at September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, were not material to our consolidated balance sheet and the changeschange in fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were not material to our consolidated statements of operations. (See Note 7 - “Investments” and Note 8 - “Fair Value Measurements”.)

At the time the Home Re Transactions were entered into, we concluded that each Home Re Entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make sufficient decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in gains and losses of the entity. Given that MGIC (1) does not have the unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly affect each Home Re Entity’s economic performance and (2) does not have the obligation, outside the terms of the reinsurance agreement, to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of each Home Re Entity that could be significant to the Home Re Entity, consolidation of the Home Re Entities is not required.

We are required to disclose our maximum exposure to loss, which we consider to be an amount that we could be required to record in our statements of operations, as a result of our involvement with the VIEs under our Home Re Transactions. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2022,2023, we did not have material exposure to the VIEs as we have no investment in the VIEs and had no reinsurance claim payments due from the VIEs under our reinsurance transactions. We are unable to determine the timing or extent of claims from losses that are ceded under the reinsurance transactions. The VIE assets are deposited in reinsurance trusts for the benefit of MGIC that will be the source of reinsurance claim payments to MGIC. The purpose of the reinsurance trusts is to provide security to MGIC for the obligations of the VIEs under the reinsurance transactions. The trustee of the reinsurance trusts, a recognized provider of corporate trust services, has established segregated accounts within the reinsurance trusts for the benefit of MGIC, pursuant to the trust agreements. The trust agreements are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. If the trustee of the reinsurance trusts failed to distribute claim payments to us as provided in the reinsurance trusts, we would incur a loss related to our losses ceded under the reinsurance transactions and deemed unrecoverable. We are also unable to determine the impact such possible failure by the trustee to perform pursuant to the reinsurance trust agreements may have on our consolidated financial statements. As a result, we are unable to quantify our maximum exposure to loss related to our involvement with the VIEs. MGIC has certain termination rights under the reinsurance transactions should its claims not be paid. We consider our exposure to loss from our reinsurance transactions with the VIEs to be remote.

The reinsurance trust agreements provide that the trust assets may generally only be invested in certain money market funds that (i) invest at least 99.5% of their total assets in cash or direct U.S. federal government obligations, such as U.S. Treasury bills, as well as other short-term securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. federal government or issued by an agency of the U.S. federal government, (ii) have a principal stability fund rating of “AAAm” by S&P or a money market fund rating of “Aaamf” by Moody’s as of the Closing Date and thereafter maintain any rating with either S&P or Moody’s, and (iii) are permitted investments under the applicable credit for reinsurance laws and applicable PMIERs credit for reinsurance requirements.

The total calculated PMIERs credit for risk ceded under our XOL Transactions are generally based on the PMIERs requirement of the covered policies and the attachment and detachment points of the coverage, all of which fluctuate over time.

Note 5. Litigation and Contingencies
BeforeWe operate in a highly regulated industry that is subject to the risk of litigation and regulatory proceedings, including related to our claims paying an insurance claim, generallypractices. From time to time, we revieware involved in disputes and legal proceedings in the loan and servicing files to determine the appropriatenessordinary course of the claim amount. When reviewing the files, we may determine that we have the right to rescind coverage or deny a claimbusiness. In our opinion, based on the loan (both referred to herein as “rescissions”). In addition,facts known at this time, the ultimate resolution of these ordinary course disputes and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our insurance policies generally provide that we can reduce a claim if the servicer did not comply with its obligations under our insurance policy (such reduction referred to as a “curtailment”).

financial position or results of operations.
When the insured disputes our right to rescind coverage or curtail claims, we generally engage in discussions in an attempt to settle the dispute. If we are unable to reach a settlement, the outcome of a dispute ultimately may be determined by legal proceedings. Under ASC 450-20, until a loss associated with settlement discussions or legal proceedings becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated, we do not accrue an estimated loss. When we determine that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record our best estimate of our probable loss. In those cases, until settlement negotiations or legal proceedings are concluded (including the receipt of any necessary GSE approvals), it is possible that we will record an additional loss.

From time to time, we are involved in disputes and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, based on the facts known at this time, the ultimate resolution of these ordinary course disputes and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 6. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposesoutstanding, including participating securities. Our “participating securities” are comprised of calculating basic EPS, vested restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are considered outstanding.with non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Diluted EPS includes the components of basic EPS and also gives effect to dilutive common stock equivalents. The determination of whether components are dilutive is calculated independently for each period. We calculate diluted EPS using the treasury stock method and if-converted method. Under the treasury stock method, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if unvested RSUs result in the issuance of common stock. Under the if-converted method, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occurwould have occurred if our 9% Debentures resultresulted in the issuance of common stock. The determination of potentially issuable shares does not consider the satisfaction of the conversion requirements and the shares are included in the determination of diluted EPS as of the beginning of the period, if dilutive. In the third quarter of 2023, under the terms of our 9% Debentures, we exercised our option to redeem the outstanding principal. (See Note 3 -Debt.)

The amortized cost and fair values of fixed income securities at September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown in table 7.2 below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because most mortgage and asset-backed securities provide for periodic payments throughout their lives, they are listed in separate categories.

Other invested assets
Our other invested assets balance includes an investment in FHLB stock that is carried at cost, which due to its nature approximates fair value. Ownership of FHLB stock provides access to a secured lending facility, subject to certain conditions, which includes requirements to post collateral and to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB stock.

Unrealized investment losses

Based on current facts and circumstances, we believe the unrealized losses as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 presented in table 7.5a above are not indicative of the ultimate collectability of the current amortized cost of the securities. The unrealized losses in all categories of our investments at September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 were primarily caused by an increase in prevailing interest rates. We also rely upon estimates of several credit and non-credit factors in our review and evaluation of individual investments to determine whether a credit impairment exists. All of the securities in an unrealized loss position are current with respect to their interest obligations.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
Recurring fair value measurements
The following describes the valuation methodologies generally used by the independent pricing sources, or by us, to measure financial instruments at fair value, including the general classification of such financial instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

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

Certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, are excluded from these fair value disclosure requirements. The carrying values of cash (Level 1) and accrued investment income (Level 2) approximated their fair values. Additional fair value disclosures related to our investment portfolio are included in Note 7 – “Investments.”

In addition to the assets carried at fair value discussed above, we have embedded derivatives carried at fair value related to our Home Re Transactions that are classified as “Other liabilities” or “Other assets” in our consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value related to our embedded derivatives reflects the present value impact of the variation in investment income on the assets held by the reinsurance trusts and the contractual reference rate on the Home Re Transactions used to calculate the reinsurance premiums we estimate we will pay over the estimated remaining life. These liabilities or assets are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was a liability of less than $0.1$0.6 million and an asset of $2.5$2.4 million, respectively. (See Note 4 - "Reinsurance" for more information about our reinsurance programs.)


MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 26

Note 11. Loss Reserves
We establish case reserves and LAE reserves on delinquent loans that were reported to us as two or more payments past due and have not become current or resulted in a claim payment. Such loans are referred to as being in our delinquency inventory. Case reserves are established by estimating the number of loans in our delinquency inventory that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity.

IBNR reserves are established for estimated losses from delinquencies we estimate have occurred prior to the close of an accounting period but have not yet been reported to us. IBNR reserves are also established using estimated claim rates and claim severities.

Estimation of losses is inherently judgmental. Even in a stable environment, changes to our estimates could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position. The conditions that affect the claim rate and claim severity include the current and future state of the domestic economy, including unemployment and the current and future strength of local housing markets; exposure on insured loans; the amount of time between delinquency and claim filing (all else being equal, the longer the period between delinquency and claim filing, the greater the severity); and curtailments and rescissions. The actual amount of the claim payments may be substantially different than our loss reserve estimates. Our estimates could be adversely affected by several factors, including a deterioration of regional or national economic conditions, including unemployment, leading to a reduction in borrowers’ income and thus their ability to make mortgage payments, the impact of past and future government initiatives and actions taken by the GSEs (including mortgage forbearance programs and foreclosure moratoriums), and a drop in housing values which may affect borrower willingness to continue to make mortgage payments when the value of the home is below the mortgage balance. Loss reserves in future periods will also be dependent on the number of loans reported to us as delinquent.

Changes to our estimates could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position, even in a stable economic environment. Given the uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment, including the effectiveness of loss mitigation efforts, changechanges in home prices, and changes in unemployment, our loss reserve estimates may continue to be impacted.

In considering the potential sensitivity of the factors underlying our estimate of loss reserves, it is possible that even a relatively small change in our estimated claim rate or claim severity could have a material impact on loss reserves and, correspondingly, on our consolidated results of operations even in a stable economic environment. For example, as of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, assuming all other factors remain constant, a $1,000 increase/decrease in the average severity reserve factor would change the loss reserve amount by approximately +/- $9$8 million. A one percentage point increase/decrease in the average claim rate reserve factor would change the loss reserve amount by approximately +/- $15$16 million.

The “Losses incurred” section of table 11.1 below shows losses incurred on delinquencies that occurred in the current year and in prior years. The amount of losses incurred relating to delinquencies that occurred in the current year represents the estimated amount to be ultimately paid on such delinquencies. The amount of losses incurred relating to delinquencies that occurred in prior years represents the difference between the actual claim rate and claim severity associated with those delinquencies resolved in the current year compared to the estimated claim rate and claim severity at the prior year-end, as well as a re-estimation of amounts to be ultimately paid on delinquencies continuing from the end of the prior year. This re-estimation of the claim rate and claim severity is the result of our review of current trends in the delinquency inventory, such as percentages of delinquencies that have resulted in a claim, the amount of the claims relative to the average loan exposure, changes in the relative level of delinquencies by geography and changes in average loan exposure.

Losses incurred on delinquencies that occurred in the current year increased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in estimated severity on current year delinquencies and an increase in new delinquencies reported.

For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 we experienced favorable loss development of $148.9$48.9 million and $327.5$40.8 million, respectively, on previously received delinquencies. The favorable development for both periods primarily resulted from a decrease in the expected claim rate on previously received delinquencies. Home price appreciation experienced in recent years has allowed some borrowers to cure their delinquencies through the sale of their property.

The “Losses paid” section of table 11.1 below shows the amount of losses paid on delinquencies that occurred in the current year and losses paid on delinquencies that occurred in prior years.

Delinquency inventory
A rollforward of our primary delinquency inventory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 appears in table 11.3 below. The information concerning new notices and cures is compiled from monthly reports received from loan servicers. The level of new notice and cure activity reported in a particular month can be influenced by, among other things, the date on which a servicer generates its report, the number of business days in a month and transfers of servicing between loan servicers.

Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity
Share repurchase programs
Repurchases of our common stock may be made from time to time on the open market (including through 10b5-1 plans) or through privately negotiated transactions. In the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we repurchased 14.74.7 million shares at an average cost of $14.83 per share,for $93.3 million, which included commissions. In 2022,2023, we repurchased approximately 27.821.7 million shares of our common stock at an average cost of $13.89 per share,for $340.6 million, which included commissions. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had $396$170 million remaining under a $500 million share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in 2023 that expires on July 1, 2025. Through October 27, 2023,April, we repurchased an additional 2.22.7 million shares totaling $36.5$54.8 million under the remaining authorization. In April 2024, our Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase program, authorizing us to purchase up to $750 million of common stock prior to December 31, 2026.

Cash dividends
In the first and second quartersquarter of 2023, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per share which totaled $58.8 million. In August 2023,2024, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.115 per share to shareholders which totaled $32.9$31.7 million. On October 26, 2023,April 25, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of to the holders of the company’s common stock of $0.115 per share payable on May 21, 2024, to shareholders of record on NovemberMay 9, 2023.

9% Debenture Conversion
In the third quarter of 2023, we exercised our option to redeem the outstanding principal of $21.1 million on our 9% Debentures. Prior to the redemption date, substantially all holders elected to convert into shares of our common stock. We elected to pay cash in lieu of issuing shares. The conversion of our 9% Debentures resulted in a reduction in our shareholders’ equity of $5.3 million, net of tax. See Note 3 – “Debt.”2024.


Note 13. Share-Based Compensation
We have certain share-based compensation plans. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period which generally corresponds to the vesting period. Awards under our plans generally vest over periods ranging from one to three years, although awards to our non-employee directors vest immediately.

Table 13.1 shows the number of restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to employees and non-employee directors and the weighted average fair value per share during the periods presented.

Note 14. Statutory Information
Statutory Capital Requirements
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, our domiciliary state, require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to the RIF (or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. We refer to these requirements as the “State Capital Requirements” and, together with the GSE Financial Requirements, as the “Financial Requirements.” While they vary among jurisdictions, the most common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1. A risk-to-capital ratio will increase if (i) the percentage decrease in capital exceeds the percentage decrease in insured risk, or (ii) the percentage increase in capital is less than the percentage increase in insured risk. Wisconsin does not regulate capital by using a risk-to-capital measure but instead requires a minimum policyholder position (“MPP”). MGIC’s “policyholder position” includes its net worth or surplus, and its contingency loss reserve.

At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, MGIC’s risk-to-capital ratio was 9.69.8 to 1, below the maximum allowed by the jurisdictions with State Capital Requirements, and its policyholder position was $3.8 billion above the required MPP of $2.1$2.2 billion. The calculation of our risk-to-capital ratio and MPP reflect credit for the risk ceded under our reinsurance transactions. If MGIC is not allowed an agreed level of credit under either the State Capital Requirements or the financial requirements of the PMIERs, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance agreements without penalty.

The NAIC established a Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Working Group to determine and make recommendations to the NAIC’s Financial Condition Committee as to what, if any, changes to make to the solvency and other regulations relating to mortgage guaranty insurers. A draft of a revised Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act was adopted by the Financial Condition Committee in July 2023 and by the Executive Committee and Plenary NAIC in August 2023. The revised Model Act includes requirements relating to, among other things: (i) capital and minimum capital requirements, and contingency reserves; (ii) restrictions on mortgage insurers’ investments in notes secured by mortgages; (iii) prudent underwriting standards and formal underwriting guidelines; (iv) the establishment of formal, internal “Mortgage Guaranty Quality Control Programs” with respect to in-force business; and (v) reinsurance and prohibitions on captive reinsurance arrangements. It is uncertain when the revised Model Act will be adopted in any jurisdiction. It is unknown whether any changes will be made by state legislatures prior to adoption, and the effect changes, if any, will have on the mortgage guaranty insurance market generally, or on our business.

Dividend restrictions
MGIC is subject to statutory regulations as to payment of dividends. The maximum amount of dividends that MGIC may pay in any twelve-month period without regulatory approval by the OCI is the lesser of adjusted statutory net income or 10% of statutory policyholders’ surplus as of the preceding calendar year end. Adjusted statutory net income is defined for this purpose to be the greater of statutory net income, net of realized investment gains, for the calendar year preceding the date of the dividend or statutory net income, net of realized investment gains, for the three calendar years preceding the date of the dividend less dividends paid within the first two of the preceding three calendar years. The maximum dividend that could be paid, without regulatory approval, is reduced by dividends paid in the twelve months preceding the dividend payment date. Before making any dividend payments, we will notify the OCI to ensure it does not object. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023,April 2024, MGIC paid a $300$350 million dividend to MGIC Investment Corporation. In October 2023, MGIC paid a $300 million dividend to ourthe holding company.

Statutory Financial Information
The OCI recognizes only statutory accounting principles prescribed, or practices permitted by the State of Wisconsin for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company. The OCI has adopted certain prescribed accounting practices that differ from those found in other states. Specifically, Wisconsin domiciled companies record changes in the contingency loss reserves through their income statement as a change in underwriting deduction. As a result, in periods in which MGIC is increasing contingency loss reserves, statutory net income is reduced.

Statutory Financial Information
The statutory net income, policyholders’ surplus, and contingency loss reserves of our insurance subsidiaries, including MGIC, are shown in table 14.1.

Summary of thirdfirst quarter 20232024 results
Comparative quarterly results
We recorded thirdfirst quarter 20232024 net income of $182.8$174.1 million, or $0.64 per diluted share. Net income decreasedincreased by $66.8$19.6 million from net income of $249.6$154.5 million, or $0.81$0.53 per diluted share, in the prior year. The decreaseincrease is primarily due to an increase in losses incurred and a decrease in net premiums earned. This was partially offset by a decrease in the provision for income taxes, an increase in investment income, net of expenses, a decrease in loss on debt extinguishment, and a decrease in other underwriting and operating expenses, net.net, and an increase in investment income, net of expenses. This was offset partially by an increase in provision for income taxes. Diluted income per share decreasedincreased primarily due to a decreasean increase in net income partially offset byand a decrease in the number of diluted weighted shares outstanding.

Adjusted net operating income for the thirdfirst quarter 20232024 was $183.0$178.4 million (Q3 2022: $264.2(Q1 2023: $157.8 million) and adjusted net operating income per diluted share was $0.64 (Q3 2022: $0.86)$0.65 (Q1 2023: $0.54). The decreaseincrease in 2023 adjusted net operating income compared to 2022 primarily reflects a decreasean increase in net income. The decreaseincrease in 2023 adjusted net operating income per diluted share compared to 2022 primarily reflects a decreasean increase in adjusted net operating income partially offset byand a decrease in the number of diluted weighted shares outstanding.

Premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $241.3 million, compared with $252.1 million, for the same period last year. The decrease in premiums earned compared with the prior year is primarily due to an increase in ceded premiums that was the result of a decrease in the profit commission earned on our QSR Transactions.

Net investment income in the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, was $55.4$59.7 million, compared with $42.5$49.2 million, in the prior year. The increase in net investment income was due to an increase of 8058 basis points in the average investment yields.

Losses incurred, net for the third quarter of 2023 were $(0.1) million, compared with $(105.1) million for the same period last year. While new delinquency notices added approximately $48.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulted in favorable development of approximately $48.2 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, new delinquency notices added approximately $35.9 million, offset by our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulting in favorable development of approximately $140.9 million. The favorable development for both periods primarily resulted from a decrease in the expected claim rate on previously received delinquencies. Home price appreciation experienced in recent years has allowed some borrowers to cure their delinquencies through the sale of their property.

Underwriting and other expenses, net forin the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 were $50.1$59.0 million, compared with $58.5$70.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease in underwriting and other expenses, net during the three months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in pension expenses and a decrease in expenses related to professional and consulting services and pension expenses.services. Pension expenses were significantly higher in the third quarter of 2022 due to settlement costs.

We did not record a loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 associated with the redemption of our 9% Debentures. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $11.6 million,

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 36


reflecting a $4.8 million loss on the repurchase of $14.0 million in aggregate principal of our 9% Debentures and a loss of $6.8 million on the redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes at costs that were in excess of their carrying value. See Note 3 - Debtdue to our consolidated financial statements for discussion of the 9% Debenture conversion in the third quarter of 2023.settlement accounting charges.

The decreaseincrease in our provision for income taxes in the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in income before tax.

Comparative year to date results
We recorded net income of $528.4 million, or $1.83 per diluted share. Net income decreased by $145.5 million, from net income of $673.9 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in losses incurred and a decrease in net premiums earned. This was partially offset by a decrease in loss on debt extinguishment, an increase in investment income, net of expenses, and a decrease in our provision for income taxes. Diluted income per share decreased primarily due to a decrease in net income, partially offset by a decrease in the number of diluted weighted shares outstanding.

Adjusted net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $536.8 million (2022: $711.5 million) and adjusted net operating income per diluted share was $1.86 (2022: $2.26). The decrease in 2023 adjusted net operating income compared to 2022 primarily reflects a decrease in net income. The decrease in 2023 adjusted net operating income per diluted share compared to 2022 primarily reflects a decrease in adjusted net operating income, partially offset by a decrease in the number of diluted weighted shares outstanding.

Premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $726.1 million, compared with $763.0 million, for the same period last year. The decrease in premiums earned compared with the prior year is primarily due to an increase in ceded premiums that was the result of a decrease in the profit commission earned on our QSR Transactions.

Net investment income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $156.9 million, compared with $121.1 million, in the prior year. The increase in net investment income was due to an increase of 80 bps in the average investment yields.

Losses incurred, netfor the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $(11.3) million, compared with losses incurred of $(223.4) million for the prior year. While new delinquency notices added $137.6 million to losses incurred, our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulted in favorable development of $148.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, new delinquency notices added approximately $104.1 million to losses incurred, offset by re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulting in favorable development of $327.5 million. The favorable development for both periods primarily resulted from a decrease in the expected claim rate on previously received delinquencies. Home price appreciation experienced in recent years has allowed some borrowers to cure their delinquencies through the sale of their property.

We did not record a loss on debt extinguishment in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, associated with the redemption of our 9% Debentures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $40.1 million, reflecting a loss of $32.0 million on the repurchase of $88.9 in aggregate principal of our 9% Debentures, a loss of $6.8 million on the redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes at costs in excess of their carrying value, and a prepayment fee of $1.3 million on the repayment of our FHLB advance. See Note 3 - Debt to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the 9% Debenture conversion in 2023.

The decrease in our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in income before tax.

Capital
MGIC dividend payments to our holding company
The ability of MGIC to pay dividends is restricted by insurance regulation. Amounts in excess of prescribed limits are deemed “extraordinary” and may not be paid if disapproved by the OCI. A dividend is extraordinary when the proposed dividend amount, plus dividends paid in the twelve months preceding the dividend payment date exceed the ordinary dividend level. In 2023,2024, MGIC can pay $92$64 million of ordinary dividends without OCI approval, before taking into consideration dividends paid in the preceding twelve months. In the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024, and 2023, and 2022, we made dividenddid not make dividends payments to the holding company of $300 million and $400 million, respectively.company. Future dividend payments to the holding company will continue to be determined in consultation with the board and after considering any updated estimates about our business. In April 2024, MGIC paid a $350 million dividend to our holding company.

Share repurchase programs
Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market (including through 10b5-1 plans) or through privately negotiated transactions. In the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024, and for the full year of 2023, we repurchased 14.74.7 million and 21.7 million shares of common stock, using approximately $217.8$93.3 million and $340.6 million of holding company resources.resources, respectively. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had $396$170 million of authorization remaining to repurchase our common stock through July 1, 2025 under a $500 million share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in April, 2023. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we had approximately 279269 million shares of common stock outstanding. We repurchased 21.7 million shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, using approximately $306.2In April 2024, our Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase program, authorizing us to repurchase up to $750 million of holding company resources.common stock prior to December 31, 2026.

Dividends to shareholders
In the first and second quartersquarter of 2023, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per share which totaled $58.8 million, in the third quarter2024, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.115 per share which totaled $32.9$31.7 million. On October 26,April 25, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of to the holders of the company’s common stock of $0.115 per share to shareholders of record on NovemberMay 9, 2023.2024.

GSEs
We must comply with a GSE’s PMIERs to be eligible to insure loans delivered to or purchased by that GSE. The PMIERs include financial requirements, as well as business, quality control and certain transaction approval requirements. The PMIERs provide that the GSEs may amend any provision of the PMIERs or impose additional requirements with an effective date specified by the GSEs. If MGIC ceases to be eligible to insure loans purchased by one or both of the GSEs, it would significantly reduce the volume of our NIW, the substantial majority of which is for loans delivered to or purchased by the GSEs.

The financial requirements of the PMIERs require a mortgage insurer’s "Available Assets" (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) to equal or exceed its "Minimum Required Assets" (which are based on an insurer's book of risk in force, calculated from tables of factors with several risk dimensions, reduced for credit given for risk ceded under reinsurance transactions, and subject to a floor amount). Based on our interpretation of the PMIERs as of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, MGIC’s Available Assets totaled $6.0$5.9 billion, or $2.4$2.5 billion in excess of its Minimum Required Assets.

The PMIERs generally require us to hold significantly more Minimum Required Assets for delinquent loans than for performing loans and the Minimum Required Assets required to be held increases as the number of payments missed on a delinquent loan increases.

If MGIC ceases to be eligible to insure loans purchased by one or both of the GSEs, it would significantly reduce the volume of our NIW, the substantial majority of which is for loans delivered to or purchased by the GSEs. In addition to the increase in Minimum Required Assets associated with delinquent loans, factors that may negatively impact MGIC’s ability to continue to comply with the financial requirements of the PMIERs include the following:

è
The GSEs may make the PMIERs more onerous in the future. The PMIERs provide that the GSEs may amend any provision of the PMIERs or impose additional requirements with an effective date specified by the GSEs.
èThe PMIERs provide that the factors that determine Minimum Required Assets will be updated periodically, or as needed if there is a significant change in macroeconomic conditions or loan performance. The PMIERs state that the GSEs will provide notice 180 days prior to the effective date of updates to the factors that determine Minimum Required Assets; however, the GSEs may amend the PMIERs at any time, including by imposing restrictions specific to our company.
è
The PMIERS may be changed in response to the final regulatory capital framework for the GSEs which was published in February 2022.
èOur future operating results may be negatively impacted by the matters discussed in our Risk Factors. Such matters could decrease our revenues, increase our losses or require the use of assets, thereby creating a shortfall in Available Assets.
èShould capital be needed by MGIC in the future, capital contributions from our holding company may not be available due to competing demands on holding company resources, including for repayment of debt.
Our reinsurance transactions enable us to earn higher returns on our Minimum Required Assets than we would without them because they generally reduce the Minimum Required Assets, we must hold under PMIERs. However, reinsurance may not always be available to us;us, or available only on similar terms, and our reinsurance subjects us to counterparty credit risk. Our access to reinsurance may be disrupted and the terms under whichor costs, that we are able to obtain reinsurance may be less attractive than in the past due to volatility stemming from circumstances such as higher interest rates, increased inflation, global events such as wars, and other factors. Since 2020, there have been protracted periods of time during which execution of transactions for XOL reinsurance through the ILN market has been more challenging, with increased pricing, down-sized transactions, and generally fewer transactions being executed by mortgage insurers.find unacceptable.

The calculated credit for XOL Transactions under PMIERs is generally based on the PMIERs requirement of the covered loans and the attachment and detachment point of the coverage. PMIERs credit is generally not given for the reinsured risk above the PMIERs requirement. Our existing reinsurance transactions are subject to periodic review by the GSEs and there is a risk we will not receive our current level of credit in future periods for the risk ceded under them. In addition, we may not receive the same level of credit under future transactions that we receive under existing transactions. If MGIC is not allowed certain levels of credit under the PMIERs, under certain circumstances, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions without penalties.

For additional information about our reinsurance transactions, see our Risk Factor titled “Reinsurance may be unavailable at current levels and prices, and/or the GSEs may reduce the amount of capital credit we receive for our reinsurance transactions.”

GSE reform
The FHFA has been the conservator of the GSEs since 2008 and has the authority to control and direct their operations. Given that the Director of the FHFA is removable by the President at will, the agency’s agenda, policies, and actions are influenced by then-current administration. The increased role that the federal government has assumed in the residential housing finance system through the GSE conservatorshipconservatorships may increase the likelihood that the business practices of the GSEs change, including through administrative action, in ways thatadministration changes and actions. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on us and that the charters of the GSEs are changed by new federal legislation.us.

It is uncertain what role the GSEs, FHA and private capital, including private mortgage insurance, will play in the residential housing finance system in the future. The timing and impact on our business of any resulting changes is uncertain. Many of the proposed changes would require Congressional action to implement and it is difficult to estimate when Congressional action would be final and how long any associated phase-in period may last.

For additional information about the business practices of the GSEs, see our Risk Factor titled “Changes in the business practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ("the GSEs"), federal legislation that changes their charters or a restructuring of the GSEs could reduce our revenues or increase our losses.”


MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 38


State Regulations
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, our domiciliary state, require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to its RIF (or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. We refer to these requirements as the “State Capital Requirements.” While they vary among jurisdictions, the most common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1. A risk-to-capital ratio will increase if (i) the percentage

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q1 2024 | 35


decrease in capital exceeds the percentage decrease in insured risk, or (ii) the percentage increase in capital is less than the percentage increase in insured risk. Wisconsin does not regulate capital by using a risk-to-capital measure but instead requires ana MPP. MGIC’s “policyholder position” includes its net worth or surplus and its contingency reserve.

At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, MGIC’s risk-to-capital ratio was 9.69.8 to 1, below the maximum allowed by the jurisdictions with State Capital Requirements, and its policyholder position was $3.8 billion above the required MPP of $2.1$2.2 billion. The calculation of our risk-to-capital ratio and MPP reflect full credit for the risk ceded under our reinsurance transactions. It is possible that under the revised State Capital Requirements discussed below, MGIC will not be allowed full credit for the risk ceded under such transactions. If MGIC is not allowed an agreed level of credit under either the State Capital Requirements or the PMIERs, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions, without penalty. At this time, we expect MGIC to continue to comply with the current State Capital Requirements; however, refer to our risk factor titled “State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis” for more information about matters that could negatively impact our compliance with State Capital Requirements.

The NAIC established a Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Working Group to determine and make recommendations to the NAIC’s Financial Condition Committee as to what, if any, changes to make to the solvency and other regulations relating to mortgage guaranty insurers. A draft of a revised Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act was adopted by the Financial Condition Committee in July 2023 and by the Executive Committee and Plenary NAIC in August 2023. The revised Model Act includes requirements relating to, among other things: (i) capital and minimum capital requirements, and contingency reserves; (ii) restrictions on mortgage insurers’ investments in notes secured by mortgages; (iii) prudent underwriting standards and formal underwriting guidelines; (iv) the establishment of formal, internal “Mortgage Guaranty Quality Control Programs” with respect to in-force business; and (v) reinsurance and prohibitions on captive reinsurance arrangements. It is uncertain when the revised Model Act will be adopted in any jurisdiction. The provisions of the Model Act, if adopted in their final form, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. It is unknown whether any changes will be made by state legislatures prior to adoption, and the effect changes, if any, will have on the mortgage guaranty insurance market generally, or on our business. At this time, we expect MGIC to continue to comply with the current State Capital Requirements; however, refer to our risk factor titled “State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis” for more information about matters that could negatively impact our compliance with State Capital Requirements.
Factors affecting our results
Our current and future business, results of operations and financial condition are impacted by macroeconomic conditions, such as rising interest rates, home prices, housing demand, level of employment, inflation, pandemics, restrictions and costs on mortgage credit, and other factors. For additional information on how our business may be impacted see our Risk Factor titled “Downturns in the domestic economy or declines in home prices may result in more homeowners defaulting and our losses increasing, with a corresponding decrease in our returns.”

The future effects of changing climatic conditionsclimate change on our business are uncertain. For information about possible effects, please refer to our Risk Factor titled “Pandemics, hurricanes and other natural disasters may impact our incurred losses, the amount and timing of paid claims, our inventory of notices of default and our Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs.”
Our results of operations are affected by:

Premiums written and earned
Premiums written and earned in a year are influenced by:

NIW, which increases IIF. Many factors affect NIW, including the volume of low down payment home mortgage originations and competition to provide credit enhancement on those mortgages from the FHA, the VA, other mortgage insurers, and other alternatives to mortgage insurance, including GSE programs that may reduce or eliminate the demand for mortgage insurance. NIW does not include loans previously insured by us that are modified, such as loans modified under HARP.

Cancellations, which reduce IIF. Cancellations due to refinancings are affected by the level of current mortgage interest rates compared to the mortgage coupon rates throughout the in force book, current home values compared to values when the loans in the in force book were insured and the terms on which mortgage credit is available. Home price appreciation can give homeowners the right to cancel mortgage insurance on their loans if sufficient home equity is achieved. Cancellations also result from policy rescissions, which require us to return any premiums received on the rescinded policies and claim payments, which require us to return any premium received on the related policies from the date of default on the insured loans. Cancellations of single premium policies, which are generally non-refundable, result in immediate recognition of any remaining unearned premium.

Premium rates, which are affected by product type, competitive pressures, the risk characteristics of the insured loans, the percentage of coverage on the insured loans, and PMIERs capital requirements. The substantial majority of our monthly and annual mortgage insurance premiums are under premium plans for which, for the first ten years of the policy, the amount of premium is determined by multiplying the initial premium rate by the original loan balance; thereafter, the premium rate resets to a lower rate used for the remaining life of the policy. The remainder of our monthly and annual premiums are under premium plans for which premiums are determined by a fixed percentage of the loan’s amortizing balance over the life of the policy.

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 39



Premiums ceded, net of profit commission, under our QSR Transactions and premiums ceded under our XOL Transactions are primarily affected by the percentage of our IIF subject to our reinsurance transactions. The profit commission under our QSR Transactions also varies inversely with the level of ceded losses incurred on a “dollar for dollar” basis and can be eliminated at ceded loss levels higher than what we have experienced on our QSR Transactions. As a result, lower levels of losses incurred result in a higher profit commission and less benefit from ceded losses incurred; higher levels of losses incurred result in more benefit

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q1 2024 | 36


from ceded losses incurred and a lower profit commission (or for certain levels of accident year loss ratios, its elimination). (See Note 4 - “Reinsurance” to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our reinsurance transactions.)

Premiums earned are generated by the insurance that is in force during all or a portion of the period. A change in the average IIF in the current period compared to an earlier period is a factor that will increase (when the average in force is higher) or reduce (when it is lower) premiums written and earned in the current period, although this effect may be enhanced (or mitigated) by the factors discussed above.

Investment income
Our investment portfolio is composed principally of investment grade fixed income securities. The principal factors that influence investment income are the size of the portfolio and its yield. As measured by amortized cost (which excludes changes in fair value, such as from changes in interest rates), the size of the investment portfolio is mainly a function of cash generated from (or used in) operations, such as net premiums written, investment income, net claim payments and expenses, and cash provided by (or used for) non-operating activities, such as debt or stock issuances or repurchases, and dividends.

Losses incurred
Losses incurred are the current expense that reflects claim payments, costs of settling claims, and changes in our estimates of payments that will ultimately be made as a result of delinquencies on insured loans. As explained under “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 20222023 10-K MD&A, except in the case of a premium deficiency reserve, we recognize an estimate of this expense only for delinquent loans. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, theThe level of new delinquencies has historically followed a seasonal pattern, with new delinquencies in the first part of the year lower than new delinquencies in the latter part of the year. The state of the economy, local housing markets and various other factors, including pandemics, may result in delinquencies not following the typical pattern. Losses incurred are generally affected by:

The state of the economy, including unemployment and housing values, each of which affects the likelihood that loans will become delinquent and whether loans that are delinquent cure their delinquency.

The product mix of the in force book, with loans having higher risk characteristics generally resulting in higher delinquencies and claims.

The size of loans insured, with higher average loan amounts on delinquent loans tending to increase incurred losses.

The percentage of coverage on insured loans, with deeper average coverage on delinquent loans tending to increase incurred losses.

The rate at which we rescind policies or curtail claims. Our estimated loss reserves incorporate our estimates of future rescissions of policies and curtailments of claims, and reversals of rescissions and curtailments. We collectively refer to such rescissions and denials as “rescissions” and variations of this term. We call reductions to claims “curtailments.”

The distribution of claims over the life of a book. Historically, the first few years after loans are originated are a period of relatively low claims, with claims increasing substantially for several years subsequent and then declining, although annual persistency, the condition of the economy, including unemployment and housing prices, and other factors can affect this pattern. For example, a weak economy or housing value declines can lead to claims from older books increasing, continuing at stable levels or experiencing a lower rate of decline. See further information under “Mortgage insurance earnings and cash flow cycle” below.

Losses ceded under reinsurance transactions. See Note 4 - “Reinsurance” to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our reinsurance transactions.

Underwriting and other expenses
Underwriting and other expenses includes items such as employee compensation, fees for professional and consulting services, depreciation and maintenance expense, and premium taxes, and are reported net of ceding commissions associated with our QSR Transactions. Employee compensation expenses are variable due to share-based compensation, changes in benefits, and changes in headcount (which can fluctuate due to volume of NIW). See Note 4 - “Reinsurance” to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of ceding commission on our QSR Transactions.


MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 40


Interest expense
Interest expense reflects the interest associated with our consolidated outstanding debt obligations discussed in Note 3 - “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements and under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Certain activities that we do not consider being part of our fundamental operating activities may also impact our results of operations and are described below.
Gains (losses) on investments and other financial instruments
Fixed income securities. Investment gains and losses reflect the difference between the amount received on the sale of a fixed income security and the fixed income security’s cost basis, as well as any credit allowances and any impairments on securities we intend to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. The amount received on the sale of fixed income securities is affected by the coupon rate of the security compared to the yield of comparable securities at the time of sale.

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q1 2024 | 37


Equity securities. Investment gains and losses are accounted for as a function of the periodic change in fair value.

value
Financial instruments. Investment gains and losses on the embedded derivative on our Home Re Transactions reflect the present value impact of the variation in investment income on assets on the insurance-linked notes held by the reinsurance trusts and the contractual reference rate used to calculate the reinsurance premiums we estimate we will pay over the estimated remaining life.

LossGains and losses on debt extinguishment
Gains and losses on debt extinguishment result from discretionary activities that are undertaken to enhance our capital position, and/or improve our debt profile, and/or reduce potential dilution from our outstanding convertible debt.profile. Extinguishing our outstanding debt obligations early through these discretionary activities may result in gains or losses primarily driven by differences in the payment of consideration in excess of ourfrom the carrying value, and the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs on the extinguished portion of the debt.

Refer to “Explanation and reconciliation of our use of Non-GAAP financial measures” below to understand how these items impact our evaluation of our core financial performance.

Mortgage insurance earnings and cash flow cycle
In general, the majority of any underwriting profit that a book generates occurs in the early years of the book, with the largest portion of any underwriting profit realized in the first year following the year the book was written. Subsequent years of a book may result in either underwriting profit or underwriting losses. This pattern of results typically occurs because relatively few of the incurred losses on delinquencies that a book will ultimately experience typically occur in the first few years of the book, when premium revenue is highest, while subsequent years are affected by declining premium revenues, as the number of insured loans decreases (primarily due to loan prepayments) and increasing losses. The typical pattern is also a function of premium rates generally resetting to lower levels after ten years. The state of the economy, local housing markets and various other factors may result in delinquencies not following the typical pattern.

Cybersecurity
As part of our business, we maintain large amounts of confidential and proprietary information including personal information of consumers and employees,both on our own servers and those of cloud computing services. FederalThis includes personal information of consumers and our employees. Personal information is subject to an increasing number of federal and state laws designed to promoteand regulations regarding privacy and data security, as well as contractual commitments. Any failure or perceived failure by us, or by the protection of such information require businesses that collect or maintain personalvendors with whom we share this information, to adopt information security programs, andcomply with such obligations may result in damage to notify individuals, and in some jurisdictions,our reputation, financial losses, litigation, increased costs, regulatory authorities, of security breaches involving personally identifiable information. penalties or customer dissatisfaction.

All information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including by cyber attacks, such as those involving ransomware. The Company discovers vulnerabilities and regularly blocks a high volume of attempts to gain unauthorized access to its systems. We regularly defend against threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, unauthorized access, system failures and disruptions. Threats have the potential to jeopardize the information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks and otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations, which could result in damage to our reputation, financial losses, litigation, increased costs, regulatory penalties or customer dissatisfaction. We could be similarly affected by threats against our vendors and/or third-parties with whom we share information.

Globally, attacks are expected to continue accelerating in both frequency and sophistication with increasing use by actors of tools and techniques that may hinder the Company’s ability to identify, investigate and recover from incidents. Such attacks may also increase as a result of retaliation by threat actors against actions taken by the U.S. and other countries in connection with wars and other global events. The Company operates under a hybrid workforce model and such model may be more vulnerable to security breaches.

While we have information security policies and systems in place to secure our information technology systems and to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of sensitive information, there can be no assurance with respect to our systems and those of our third-party vendors that unauthorized access to the systems or disclosure of the sensitive information, either through the actions of third parties or employees, will not occur. Due to our reliance on information technology systems, including ours and those of our customers and third-party service providers, and to the sensitivity of the information that we maintain, unauthorized access to the systems or disclosure of the information could adversely affect our reputation, severely disrupt our operations, result in a loss of business and expose us to material claims for damages and may require that we provide free credit monitoring services to individuals affected by a security breach.

Should we experience an unauthorized disclosure of information or a cyber attack, including those involving ransomware, some of the costs we incur may not be recoverable through insurance, or legal or other processes, and this may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

For additional information about our IT systems and cybersecurity, see our risk factor titled “Information technology system failures or interruptions may materially impact our operations and adversely affect our financial results" and "We could be materially adversely affected by a cyber security breach or failure of information security controls."

Explanation and reconciliation of our use of non-GAAP financial measures

Non-GAAP financial measures
We believe that use of the Non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss), adjusted net operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating income (loss) per diluted share facilitate the evaluation of the company's core financial performance thereby providing relevant information to investors. These measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance.

Adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP income (loss) before tax, excluding the effects of net realized investment gains (losses), gain and losses on debt extinguishment, and infrequent or unusual non-operating items where applicable.
    
Adjusted net operating income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding the after-tax effects of net realized investment gains (losses), gain and losses on debt extinguishment and infrequent or unusual non-operating items where applicable. The amounts of adjustments to components of pre-tax operating income (loss) are tax effected using a federal statutory tax rate of 21%.
    
Adjusted net operating income (loss) per diluted share is calculated in a manner consistent with the accounting standard regarding earnings per share by dividing (i) adjusted net operating income (loss) after making adjustments for interest expense on convertible debt, whenever the impact is dilutive by (ii) diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, which reflects share dilution from unvested restricted stock units and from convertible debt when dilutive under the “if-converted” method.

Although adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) and adjusted net operating income (loss) exclude certain items that have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future, the excluded items represent items that are: (1) not viewed as part of the operating performance of our primary activities; or (2) impacted by both discretionary and other economic or regulatory factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends, or both. These adjustments, along with the reasons for their treatment, are described below. Trends in the profitability of our fundamental operating activities can be more clearly identified without the fluctuations of these adjustments. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by us.

(1)Net realized investment gains (losses). The recognition of net realized investment gains or losses can vary significantly across periods as the timing of individual securities sales is highly discretionary and is influenced by such factors as market opportunities, our tax and capital profile, and overall market cycles.
(2)Gains and losses on debt extinguishment. Gains and losses on debt extinguishment result from discretionary activities that are undertaken to enhance our capital position and/or improve our debt profile, and/or reduce potential dilution from our outstanding convertible debt.profile.
(3)Infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Items that are non-recurring in nature and are not part of our primary operating activities.

Mortgage Insurance Portfolio
Mortgage originations
Our NIW is affected by the total mortgage originations, the percentage of total mortgage originations using PMI, and our market share within the PMI industry.

The total amount of mortgage originations is generally influenced by the level of home sales, interest rates, the percentage of homes purchased for cash, and the level of refinance activity. PMI market share of total mortgage originations is influenced by the mix of purchase and refinance originations. PMI market share is also impacted by the market share of total originations of the FHA, VA, USDA, and other alternatives to mortgage insurance, including GSE programs that may reduce or eliminate the demand for mortgage insurance.

NIW for the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 was $14.6$9.1 billion (Q3 2022: $19.6 billion) and for the nine months ended was $35.2 billion (YTD 2022: $63.5(Q1 2023: $8.2 billion). We expect the decrease is reflective ofThe increase reflects a smaller origination market and ourhigher expected market position in the current year compared with the same period in the prior year. For the remainder of the year, we expect a smaller origination marketour 2024 NIW to drive a decrease in our NIW compared to 2022.be slightly higher than 2023.

The percentage of our NIW with DTI ratios over 45% and LTVs over 95% will fluctuate based on the mortgage conditions that could include the percentage of NIW from purchase transactions, changes in home prices, changes in mortgage rates, and GSE activities.

Insurance and risk in force
The amount of our IIF and RIF is impacted by the amount of NIW and cancellations of primary IIF during the period. Cancellation activity primarily results from loan payoff and refinancing activity, or borrowers achieving the required amount of home equity through loan amortization, principal curtailment and/or home price appreciation. Claim resolutions also impact cancellations but to a much lesser extent. Cancellations generally move inversely to the change in the direction of interest rates, although they generally lag a change in direction.

Since 2018, our annual persistency ranged from a high of 86.3% at September 30, 2023 to a low of 60.7% at March 31, 2021. Our persistency rate is primarily affected by the level of current mortgage interest rates compared to the mortgage coupon rates on our IIF, which affects the vulnerability of the IIF to refinancing; and the current amount of equity that borrowers have in the homes underlying our IIF.

Our 2009 and later books possess significantly improved risk characteristics when compared to our 2005-2008 books. Modification and refinance programs, such as HAMP and HARP, which expired at the end of 2016 and 2018, respectively, but have been replaced by other GSE modification programs, make outstanding loans more affordable to borrowers with the goal of reducing the number of foreclosures.

Pool and other insurance
MGIC has written no new pool insurance since 2008; however, for a variety of reasons, including responding to capital market alternatives to PMI and customer demands, MGIC may write pool risk in the future. Our direct pool risk in force was $259$236 million ($187180 million on pool policies with aggregate loss limits and $72$56 million on pool policies without aggregate loss limits) at September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 compared to $276$256 million ($196186 million on pool policies with aggregate loss limits and $80$70 million on pool policies without aggregate loss limits) at December 31, 2022.2023. If claim payments associated with a specific pool reach the aggregate loss limit, the remaining IIF within the pool would be cancelled and any remaining delinquencies under the pool would be removed from our delinquency inventory.

In connection with the GSEs' CRT programs, an insurance subsidiary of MGIC provides insurance and reinsurance covering portions of the credit risk related to certain reference pools of mortgages acquired by the GSEs. Our RIF, as reported to us, related to these programs was approximately $317$358 million and $226$310 million as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively.

Premiums earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 were $241.3$242.6 million, and $726.1 million, respectively, compared with $252.1$242.0 million, and $763.0 million, respectively, for the same periodsperiod last year. Net premiums written for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 were $234.5$233.8 million, and $695.9 million, respectively, compared with $242.3$230.2 million, and $729.3 million, respectively for the same comparable period last year.

The decrease in premiums written and earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the prior year period is primarily due to an increase in ceded premiums that was the result of a decrease in the profit commission earned on our QSR Transactions

See “Overview - Factors Affecting Our Results” above for additional factors that influenced the amount of net premiums written and earned during the periods. See “Reinsurance Transactions” below for discussion of our ceded premiums written and earned.

Premium yields
Net premium yield is net premiums earned divided by average IIF during the period. The following table presents the key drivers of our net premium yield for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Changes inThe following provides more detail on the key drivers of our net premium yield for the yield:
three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflect the following:

Premium Refunds
è
Premium refunds are primarily driven by claim activity and our estimate of refundable premiums on our delinquency inventory. The low levelLower levels of claims received have resultedresults in a lower level of premium refunds. Our estimate of refundable premium on our delinquency inventory fluctuates with changes in our delinquency inventory and our estimate of the number of loans in our delinquency inventory that will result in a claim.
Accelerated earnings on single premium policies
èThe lowerA low level of refinance transactions have reducedreduces the benefit from accelerated earned premium from cancellation of single premium policies prior to their estimated policy life.
Ceded premiums earned, net of profit commission and assumed premiums
èCeded premiums earned, net of profit commission adversely impact our net premium yield. Ceded premiums earned, net of profit commission, are associated with the QSR Transactions and the XOL Transactions. Assumed premiums consists primarily of premiums from GSE CRT programs. See “Reinsurance Transactions“ below for further discussion on our reinsurance transactions.
As discussed in our Risk Factor titled “Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our revenues, reduce our premium yields and / or increase our losses,” the private mortgage insurance industry is highly competitive and premium rates have declined over the past several years. With the smaller origination market, higher persistency rate, and continued high credit quality for NIW expected in 2023,2024, we expect our in force portfolio premium yield to remain relatively flat during 2024 compared to 2023.

Reinsurance Transactions
Quota share reinsurance
Our quota share reinsurance affects various lines of our statements of operations and therefore we believe it should be analyzed by reviewing its total effect on our pre-tax income, described as follows.
èWe cede a fixed percentage of premiums on insurance covered by the agreements.
èWe receive the benefit of a profit commission through a reduction in the premiums we cede. The profit commission varies inversely with the level of losses incurred on a “dollar for dollar” basis and can be eliminated at loss levels higher than what we have experienced. As a result, lower levels of ceded losses incurred result in less benefit from ceded losses incurred and a higher profit commission; higher levels of ceded losses incurred result in more benefit from ceded losses incurred and a lower profit commission (or for certain levels of accident year loss ratios, its elimination).
èWe receive the benefit of a ceding commission through a reduction in underwriting expenses equal to 20% of premiums ceded (before the effect of the profit commission).
èWe cede a fixed percentage of losses incurred on insurance covered by the agreements.

earned. The decrease in profit commission was primarily driven by a decrease in the percentage of our IIF covered by the QSR Transactions as discussed below and an increase in ceded losses incurred. Ceded losses incurred are impacted by the delinquencies covered by our QSR Transactions, our estimates of payments that will be ultimately made on those delinquencies, and claim payments covered by our QSR Transactions.

We terminated our 2015 and 20192020 QSR TransactionsTransaction effective December 31, 2022. We have elected to terminate our 2020 QSR Transactions effective December 31, 2023. We agreed to terms on a 30% QSR Transaction with a group of unaffiliated reinsurers covering most of our new insurance written in 2024.

The decrease in IIF and RIF subject to quota share reinsurance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to September 30, 2022, isQSR Transactions was primarily due to the termination of our 2015 and 20192020 QSR TransactionsTransaction at December 31, 2022.2023.

As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the weighted average coverage percentage of our QSR transactions was 32% based on RIF.

Excess of loss reinsurance
We have XOL Transactions with panels of unaffiliated reinsurers executed through the traditional reinsurance market (“Traditional XOL Transaction”) and with unaffiliated special purpose insurers (“Home Re Transactions”).

For policies covered by our Traditional XOL Transactions, we retain the first layer of the aggregate losses paid, and the reinsurers will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. We retain losses paid in excess of the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount. The reinsurance coverage is subject to adjustment based on the risk characteristics of the covered loans until the initial excess of loss reinsurance coverage layer has been finalized. The 2022 Traditional XOL Transaction provides $142.6 million of reinsurance coverage on eligible NIW in 2022. The 2023 Traditional XOL Transaction provides up to $116.0 million of reinsurance coverage on eligible NIW in 2023.

The Home Re Transactions are executed through the issuance of insurance linked notes (“ILNs”). As of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 our Home Re Transactions provided $1.3$1.1 billion of loss coverage on a portfolio of policies having an in force date from July 1, 2016 through March 31, 2019, and from JanuaryAugust 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021;2021, and from June 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023; all dates inclusive. For this reinsurance coverage, we retain the first layer of the respective aggregate losses paid, and a Home Re Entity will then provide second layer coverage up to the outstanding reinsurance amount.

The current attachment, current detachment, and PMIERs required asset credit for each of our XOL Transactions excluding the 2023 Traditional XOL which is still in its fill up period, as of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, are as follows.

In October, 2023January 2024, we exercised our optional call feature to terminate the reinsurance agreement with Home Re 2019-12020-1, Ltd., In connection with the termination, the insurance linked notes issued by Home Re 2021-12020-1 Ltd., and Home Re 2021-2 Ltd conducted tender offers for certain tranches of the mortgage insurance-linked notes that supported the reinsurance agreements with MGIC. The tender offer resulted were redeemed in the reduction in the insurance-linked notes of $187.1 million for the Home Re 2019-1 Ltd, $91.1 million for the Home Re 2021-1 Ltd., and $106.7 million for the Home Re 2021-2 Ltd. The reinsurance coverage corresponding to the tendered notes was terminated. MGIC will incur approximately $8.0 million of additional ceded premium in the fourth quarter associated with the cost of the tender premiums and associated expenses.

Also in October, 2023, MGIC entered into a $330.2 million excess-of-loss reinsurance agreement (executed through an insurance linked note transaction) that covers policies with inforce dates from June 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023.full.

Ceded premiums on our XOL Transactions were $17.5$16.1 million and $51.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, and $19.9$16.9 million and $50.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Losses incurred, net
As discussed in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 20222023 10-K MD&A, we establish case loss reserves for future claims on delinquent loans that were reported to us as two payments past due and have not become current or resulted in a claim payment. Such loans are referred to as being in our delinquency inventory. Case loss reserves are established based on estimating the number of loans in our delinquency inventory that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity.

IBNR reserves are established for estimated losses from delinquencies we estimate have occurred prior to the close of an accounting period but have not yet been reported to us. IBNR reserves are also established using estimated claim rates and claim severities.

Estimation of losses is inherently judgmental. Even in a stable environment, changes to our estimates could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position. The conditions that affect the claim rate and claim severity include the current and future state of the domestic economy, including unemployment and the current and future strength of local housing markets; exposure on insured loans; the amount of time between delinquency and claim filing (all else being equal, the longer the period between delinquency and claim filing, the greater the severity); and curtailments and rescissions. The actual amount of the claim payments may be substantially different than our loss reserve estimates. Our estimates could be adversely affected by several factors, including a deterioration of regional or national economic conditions, including unemployment, leading to a reduction in borrowers’ income and thus their ability to make mortgage payments, the impact of past and future government initiatives and actions taken by the GSEs (including mortgage forbearance programs and foreclosure moratoriums), and a drop in housing values which may affect borrower willingness to continue to make mortgage payments when the value of the home is below the mortgage balance. Loss reserves in future periods will also be dependent on the number of loans reported to us as delinquent.

Prior toWith the exception of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent governmental response that temporarily disrupted seasonality, losses incurred followedfollow a seasonal trend in which the second halffirst quarter of the year has weakerstronger credit performance than the first half,following three quarters, with higher cure rates and lower new notice activity and a lower cure rate.activity. The state of the economy, local housing markets and various other factors may result in delinquencies not following the typical pattern.

For information on how pandemics and other natural disasters could affect losses incurred, net see our Risk Factors titled “Pandemics, hurricanes and other natural disasters may impact our incurred losses, the amount and timing of paid claims, our inventory of notices of default and our Minimum Required Assets under PMIERs".

only upon a loan delinquency rather than based on estimates of our ultimate losses on risk in force, losses may have a disproportionate adverse effect on our earnings in certain periods” if we have not received a notice of delinquency with respect to a loan and if we have not estimated the loan to be delinquent as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 through our IBNR reserve, then we have not yet recorded an incurred loss with respect to that loan.

Our estimates are also affected by any agreements we enter into regarding our claims paying practices.

Comparative quarterly results
Losses incurred, net for the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 were $(0.1)$4.6 million, an increasea decrease of $105.0$1.9 million compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 losses incurred, net of $(105.1)$6.4 million. While new delinquency notices added approximately $48.1$53.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulted in favorable development of approximately $48.2$48.9 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, new delinquency notices added approximately $35.9$47.2 million, offset by our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulting in favorable development of approximately $140.9$40.8 million. The favorable development for both periods primarily resulted from a decrease in the expected claim rate on previously received delinquencies. Home price appreciation experienced in recent years has allowed some borrowers to cure their delinquencies through the sale of their property.

Comparative year to date results
Losses incurred, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $(11.3) million, an increase of $212.1 million compared with losses incurred of $(223.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. While new delinquency notices added approximately $137.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulting in favorable development of approximately $148.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, new delinquency notices added approximately $104.1 million, offset by our re-estimation of loss reserves on previously received delinquency notices resulting in favorable development of approximately $327.5 million. The favorable development for both periods primarily resulted from a decrease in the expected claim rate on previously received delinquencies. Home price appreciation experienced in recent years has allowed some borrowers to cure their delinquencies through the sale of their property.

Claims severity
Factors that impact claim severity include:
èeconomic conditions at time of claim filing, including home prices compared to home prices at the time of placement of coverage,
èexposure of the loan, which is the unpaid principal balance of the loan times our insurance coverage percentage,
èlength of time between delinquency and claim filing (which impacts the amount of interest and expenses, with a longer time between default and claim filing generally increasing severity), and
ècurtailments.

As discussed in Note 11 - “Loss Reserves,” our loss reserves estimates take into consideration trends over time, because the development of the delinquencies may vary from period to period without establishing a meaningful trend. An increase in third party property sales prior to claim settlement has resulted in a decrease in the average claim paid and the average claim paid as a percentage of exposure in recent years. AtWith the startonset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of claims received decreased. Claim activity and the average claims paid as a percentage of exposure has not yet returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. The magnitude and timing of the increases are uncertain.

The majority of loans insured prior to 20092014 (which represent 38%35% of the loans in the delinquency inventory) are covered by master policy terms that, except under certain circumstances, do not limit the number of years that an insured can include interest when filing a claim.

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 52


Under our current master policy terms, an insured can include accumulated interest when filing a claim only for the first three years the loan is delinquent. In each case, the insured must comply with its obligations under the terms of the applicable master policy.

The length of time a loan is in the delinquency inventory (see Note 11 - “Loss Reserves,” table 11.4) can differ from the number of payments that the borrower has not made or is considered delinquent. These differences typically result from a borrower making monthly payments that do not result in the loan becoming fully current. Generally, a defaulted loan with more missed payments is more likely to result in a claim. The number of payments that a borrower is delinquent is shown in the following table.

Net losses and LAE paid
Net losses and LAE paid in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 were consistent with the same period in the prior year. The primary average claim paid can vary materially from period to period based upon a variety of factors, including the local market conditions, average loan amount, average coverage percentage, the amount of time between delinquency and claim filing, and our loss mitigation efforts on loans for which claims are paid.

The following table presents our net losses and LAE paid for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Average Claim Paid$28,267 $28,227 
Our claims paid activity slowed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic primarily due to forbearance and foreclosure moratoriums put in place, and it has not yet appreciably increased from those suppressed levels. Home price appreciation experienced in recent years has allowed some borrowers to cure their delinquencies through the sale of their property. In addition, an increase in third party property sales prior to claim settlement, has resulted in a decrease in the average claim paid on the claims we do receive. We expect net losses and LAE paid to increase, however, the magnitude and timing of the increases are uncertain.

On our primary business, the highest claim frequency years have typically been the third and fourth year after loan origination. However, the pattern of claim frequency can be affected by many factors, including persistency and deteriorating economic conditions. Deteriorating economic conditions can result in increasing claims following a period of declining claims. As of September 30, 2023, 65%March 31, 2024, 40% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2021, 68% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2020, 83%and 85% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2019, and 88% of our primary RIF was written subsequent to December 31, 2018.2019.

Underwriting and other expenses, net
Underwriting and other expenses includes items such as employee compensation costs, fees for professional and consulting services, depreciation and maintenance expense, and premium taxes, and are reported net of ceding commissions.

Underwriting and other expenses, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, were $50.1$59.0 million, and $174.2 million, respectively, compared with $58.5 million and $166.7$70.1 million for the corresponding periodsthree months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the prior year. Underwritingunderwriting and other expenses, net decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in the prior yearMarch 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in pension expenses, and a decrease in expenses related to professional and consulting services as well as a decrease in pensionservices. Pension expenses relatedwere higher for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to settlement accounting charges.

The increase in underwriting and other expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in performance based employee compensation, and an increase in postretirement benefit expenses, offset partially by a decrease in expenses related to professional and consulting services and a decrease in pension expenses related to settlement accounting charges. We will incur additional settlement accounting charges during the remainder of 2023; however, the magnitude and timing is uncertain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated Cash Flow Analysis
We have three primary types of cash flows: (1) operating cash flows, which consist mainly of cash generated by our insurance operations and income earned on our investment portfolio, less amounts paid for claims, interest expense and operating expenses, (2) investing cash flows related to the purchase, sale and maturity of investments and purchases of property and equipment and (3) financing cash flows generally from activities that impact our capital structure, such as changes in debt and shares outstanding, and dividend payments. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023 increasedMarch 31, 2024 decreased when compared with the same period of 20222023 primarily due to decreases in income taxes paid, interest expense paid on our outstanding debt obligations, and underwriting expenses paid, and an increase in investment income collected. This was offset by an increase in losses paid, net of the reinsurance recoverable on paid lossesunderwriting and a decrease in net premiums received.operating expenses paid.

We also have purchase obligations totaling approximately $17.1$14.2 million which consist primarily of contracts related to our continued investment in our information technology infrastructure in the normal course of business. The majority of these obligations are under contracts that give us cancellation rights with notice. In the next twelve months we anticipate we will pay approximately $5.9$6.9 million for our purchase obligations.

Future contributions to our qualified pension plan are impacted by the net funded status (the market value of our plan assets compared to the projected benefit obligation).

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily reflects sales and maturities of fixed income securities that exceeded purchases of fixed income securities during the period. Net cash used in investing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 primarily reflects purchases of fixed income securities during the period that exceeded sales and maturities of fixed income securities during the period as cash from operations was available for additional investment. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily reflects sales and maturities of fixed income securities during the period that exceeded purchases as proceeds were used in financing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, primarily reflects the repurchases of our common stock, dividends to shareholders and the conversionpayment of our 9% Debentures. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily reflects repurchases of our common stock, repayment of our 5.75% Notes and our FHLB Advance, the repurchase of a portion of our 9% Debentures, and dividends paidwithholding taxes related to shareholders.share-based compensation net share settlement.

Liquidity analysis - holding company
As of September 30,March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had approximately $723.0$793.0 million and $918 million, respectively, in cash and investments at our holding company. ResourcesThese resources are maintained primarily to service our debt interest expense, pay debt maturities, repurchase debt,shares, pay dividends to shareholders, and to settle intercompany obligations. We also use holding company resources to repurchase shares and pay dividends to shareholders. While these assets are held, we generate investment income that serves to offset a portion of our cash requirements. The payment of dividends from MGIC are the principal sourcessource of holding company cash inflow and their payment is restricted by insurance regulation. See Note 14 - “Statutory Information” to our consolidated financial statement for additional information about MGIC’s dividend restrictions. The payment of dividends from MGIC is also influenced by our view of the appropriate level of excess PMIERs Available Assets to maintain, in excess of Minimum Required Assets. Other sources of holding company liquidity include raisingwhich can change over time. Raising capital in the public markets.markets is another potential source of holding company liquidity. The ability to raise capital in the public markets is subject to prevailing market conditions, investor demand for the securities to be issued, and our deemed creditworthiness.

Risk-to-capital
We compute our risk-to-capital ratio on a separate company statutory basis, as well as on a combined insurance operations basis. The risk-to-capital ratio is our net RIF divided by our policyholders’ position. Our net RIF includes both primary and pool risk in force, net of reinsurance and excludes risk on policies that are currently in default and for which case loss reserves have been established and the risk covered by reinsurance. The risk amount includes pools of loans with contractual aggregate loss limits and without these limits.

MGIC Investment Corporation - Q3 2023 | 60


MGIC’s policyholders’ position consists primarily of statutory policyholders’ surplus (which increases as a result of statutory net income and decreases as a result of statutory net loss and dividends paid), plus the statutory contingency loss reserve. The statutory contingency loss reserve is reported as a liability on the statutory balance sheet. A mortgage insurance company is required to make annual additions to a contingency loss reserve of approximately 50% of earned premiums. These contributions must generally be maintained for a period of ten years. However, with regulatory approval a mortgage insurance company may make early withdrawals from the contingency loss reserve when incurred losses exceed 35% of earned premiums in a calendar year.

Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors
General: Our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be affected by the Risk Factors referred to under “Location of Risk Factors” below. These Risk Factors are an integral part of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

These factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by forward looking statements that we may make. Forward looking statements consist of statements which relate to matters other than historical fact. Among others, statements that include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate” or “expect,” or words of similar import, are forward looking statements. These Risk Factors speak only as of the date of this filing and are subject to change without notice as the Company cannot predict all risks relating to this evolving set of events. We are not undertaking any obligation to update any forward looking statements we may make even though these statements may be affected by events or circumstances occurring after the forward looking statements were made. Therefore, no reader of this document should rely on these statements being current as of any time other than the time at which this document was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

While we communicate with security analysts from time to time, it is against our policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential information. Accordingly, investors should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report, and such reports are not our responsibility.

Location of Risk Factors: The Risk Factors are in Item 1 A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1 A of our quarterly report on Form 10Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and Part II, Item 1 A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Risk Factors in the 10-K, as supplemented by this 10‑QsQ and through updating of various statistical and other information, are reproduced in Exhibit 99 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our investment portfolio is essentially a fixed income portfolio and is exposed to market risk. Important drivers of the market risk are credit spread risk and interest rate risk.

Credit spread risk is the risk that we will incur a loss due to adverse changes in credit spreads. Credit spread is the additional yield on fixed income securities above the risk-free rate (typically referenced as the yield on U.S. Treasury securities) that market participants require to compensate them for assuming credit, liquidity and/or prepayment risks.

We manage credit risk via our investment policy guidelines which primarily place our investments in investment grade securities and limit the amount of our credit exposure to any one issue, issuer and type of instrument. Guideline and investment portfolio detail is available in "Business – Section E, Investment Portfolio" in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.

Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur a loss due to adverse changes in interest rates relative to the characteristics of our interest bearing assets.

One of the measures used to quantify this exposure is modified duration. Modified duration measures the price sensitivity of the assets to the changes in spreads. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the modifiedeffective duration of our fixed income investment portfolio was 4.13.7 years, which means that an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of 100 basis points would result in a change of 4.1%3.7% in the fair value of our fixed income portfolio. For an upward shift in the yield curve, the fair value of our portfolio would decrease and for a downward shift in the yield curve, the fair value would increase. See Note 7 – “Investments” to our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure surrounding our investment portfolio.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business may be filed or pending against us from time to time. For information about such legal proceedings, you should review Note 5 - “Litigation and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements and our Risk Factor titled “We are subject to the risk of legal proceedings in the future”proceedings” in Exhibit 99.

Item 1 A. Risk Factors
With the exceptionAs of the changes described and set forth below,March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in our Risk Factors from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023. The risk factors in the 10-K, as supplemented by this 10-Q and through updating of various statistical and other information, are reproduced in their entirety in Exhibit 99 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.
The ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing all USD LIBOR tenors on June 30, 2023. We evaluated the impact of the discontinuance of LIBOR on our consolidated financial statements and determined it will not have a material impact. As such, the risk factor titled “The Company may be adversely impacted by the transition from LIBOR as a reference rate“ has been deleted.
Risk Factors Relating to Global Events
Wars and/or other global events may adversely affect the U.S. economy and our business.
Wars and/or other global events may result in increased inflation rates, strained supply chains, and increased volatility in the domestic and global financial markets. Wars and/or other global events have in the past and may continue to impact our business in various ways, including the following which are described in more detail in the remainder of these risk factors:
The terms under which we are able to obtain excess-of-loss ("XOL") reinsurance through the insurance-linked notes ("ILN") market and the traditional reinsurance market may be negatively impacted and terms under which we are able to access those markets in the future may be limited or less attractive.
The risk of a cybersecurity incident that affects our company may increase.
Wars may negatively impact the domestic economy, which may increase unemployment and inflation, or decrease home prices, in each case leading to an increase in loan delinquencies.
The volatility in the financial markets may impact the performance of our investment portfolio and our investment portfolio may include investments in companies or securities that are negatively impacted by wars and/or other global events.
Risk Factors Relating to the Mortgage Insurance Industry and its Regulation
We may not continue to meet the GSEs’ private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease if we are required to maintain more capital in order to maintain our eligibility.
We must comply with a GSE's PMIERs to be eligible to insure loans delivered to or purchased by that GSE. The PMIERs include financial requirements, as well as business, quality control and certain transaction approval requirements. The financial requirements of the PMIERs require a mortgage insurer’s “Available Assets” (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) to equal or exceed its “Minimum Required Assets” (which are generally based on an insurer’s book of risk in force and calculated from tables of factors with several risk dimensions, reduced for credit given for risk ceded under reinsurance agreements).
Based on our interpretation of the PMIERs, as of September 30, 2023, MGIC’s Available Assets totaled $6.0 billion, or $2.4 billion in excess of its Minimum Required Assets. MGIC is in compliance with the PMIERs and eligible to insure loans purchased by the GSEs. Our "Minimum Required Assets" reflect a credit for risk ceded under our quota share reinsurance ("QSR") and XOL reinsurance transactions, which are discussed in our risk factor titled "The mix of business we write affects our Minimum Required Assets under the PMIERs, our premium yields and the likelihood of losses occurring." The calculated credit for XOL reinsurance transactions under PMIERs is generally based on the PMIERs requirement of the covered loans and the attachment and detachment points of the coverage, all of which fluctuate over time. PMIERs credit is generally not given for the reinsured risk above the PMIERs requirement. The GSEs have discretion to further limit reinsurance credit under the PMIERs. Refer to “Consolidated Results of Operations – Reinsurance Transactions” in Part I, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information about the calculated PMIERs credit for our XOL transactions. There is a risk we will not receive our current level of credit in future periods for ceded risk. In addition, we may not receive the same level of credit under future reinsurance transactions that we receive under existing transactions. If MGIC is not allowed certain levels of credit under the PMIERs, under certain circumstances, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions without penalty.
The PMIERs generally require us to hold significantly more Minimum Required Assets for delinquent loans than for performing loans and the Minimum Required Assets required to be held increases as the number of payments missed on a delinquent loan increases. If the number of loan delinquencies increases for reasons discussed in these risk factors, or otherwise, it may cause our Minimum Required Assets to exceed our Available Assets. We are unable to predict the ultimate number of loans that will become delinquent.

If our Available Assets fall below our Minimum Required Assets, we would not be in compliance with the PMIERs. The PMIERs provide a list of remediation actions for a mortgage insurer's non-compliance, with additional actions possible in the GSEs' discretion. At the extreme, the GSEs may suspend or terminate our eligibility to insure loans purchased by them. Such suspension or termination would significantly reduce the volume of our NIW, the substantial majority of which is for loans delivered to or purchased by the GSEs. In addition to the increase in Minimum Required Assets associated with delinquent loans, factors that may negatively impact MGIC’s ability to continue to comply with the financial requirements of the PMIERs include the following:
The GSEs may make the PMIERs more onerous in the future. The PMIERs provide that the GSEs may amend any provision of the PMIERs or impose additional requirements with an effective date specified by the GSEs.
The PMIERs provide that the factors that determine Minimum Required Assets will be updated periodically, or as needed if there is a significant change in macroeconomic conditions or loan performance. The PMIERs state that the GSEs will provide notice 180 days prior to the effective date of updates to the factors that determine Minimum Required Assets; however, the GSEs may amend the PMIERs at any time, including by imposing restrictions specific to our company.
The PMIERs may be changed in response to the final regulatory capital framework for the GSEs that was published in February 2022.
Our future operating results may be negatively impacted by the matters discussed in the rest of these risk factors. Such matters could decrease our revenues, increase our losses or require the use of assets, thereby creating a shortfall in Available Assets.
Should capital be needed by MGIC in the future, capital contributions from our holding company may not be available due to competing demands on holding company resources, including for repayment of debt.
State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis.
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, MGIC's domiciliary state, require a mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to its risk in force (or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. We refer to these requirements as the “State Capital Requirements.” While they vary among jurisdictions, the most common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1. A risk-to-capital ratio will increase if (i) the percentage decrease in capital exceeds the percentage decrease in insured risk, or (ii) the percentage increase in capital is less than the percentage increase in insured risk. Wisconsin does not regulate capital by using a risk-to-capital measure but instead requires a minimum policyholder position (“MPP”). MGIC's “policyholder position” includes its net worth, or surplus, and its contingency reserve.
At September 30, 2023, MGIC’s risk-to-capital ratio was 9.6 to 1, below the maximum allowed by the jurisdictions with State Capital Requirements, and its policyholder position was $3.8 billion above the required MPP of $2.1 billion. Our risk-to-capital ratio and MPP reflect credit for the risk ceded under our quota share reinsurance and excess of loss transactions in the traditional reinsurance and ILN markets with unaffiliated reinsurers. If MGIC is not allowed an agreed level of credit under the State Capital Requirements, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance transactions, without penalty.
The NAIC established a Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Working Group to determine and make recommendations to the NAIC’s Financial Condition Committee as to what, if any, changes to make to the solvency and other regulations relating to mortgage guaranty insurers. A draft of a revised Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act was adopted by the Financial Condition Committee in July 2023 and by the Executive Committee and Plenary NAIC in August 2023. The revised Model Act includes requirements relating to, among other things: (i) capital and minimum capital requirements, and contingency reserves; (ii) restrictions on mortgage insurers’ investments in notes secured by mortgages; (iii) prudent underwriting standards and formal underwriting guidelines; (iv) the establishment of formal, internal “Mortgage Guaranty Quality Control Programs” with respect to in-force business; and (v) reinsurance and prohibitions on captive reinsurance arrangements. It is uncertain when the revised Model Act will be adopted in any jurisdiction. The provisions of the Model Act, if adopted in their final form, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. It is unknown whether any changes will be made by state legislatures prior to adoption, and the effect changes, if any, will have on the mortgage guaranty insurance market generally, or on our business.
While MGIC currently meets the State Capital Requirements of Wisconsin and all other jurisdictions, it could be prevented from writing new business in the future in all jurisdictions if it fails to meet the State Capital Requirements of Wisconsin, or it could be prevented from writing new business in a particular jurisdiction if it fails to meet the State Capital Requirements of that jurisdiction, and in each case if MGIC does not obtain a waiver of such requirements. It is possible that regulatory action by one or more jurisdictions, including those that do not have specific State Capital Requirements, may prevent MGIC from continuing to write new insurance in such jurisdictions. If we are unable to write business in a particular jurisdiction, lenders may be unwilling to procure insurance from us anywhere. In addition, a lender’s assessment of the future ability of our insurance operations to meet the State Capital Requirements or the PMIERs may affect its willingness to procure insurance from us. In this regard, see our risk factor titled “Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our revenues, reduce our premium yields and/or increase our losses.” A possible future failure by MGIC to meet the State Capital Requirements or the PMIERs will not necessarily mean that MGIC lacks sufficient resources to pay claims on its insurance liabilities. You should read the rest of these risk factors for information about matters that could negatively affect MGIC’s compliance with State Capital Requirements and its claims paying resources.
