(1) Structured municipal: includes excess of loss reinsurance on portfolios of municipal credits where the Company attached in excess of the AAA rating level.
(2) Other public finance: primarily includes student loans and government-sponsored project finance.
(3) Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) are structured financings backed by a pool of debt obligations. These financings are typically structured in multiple tranches (layers) from equity (first loss) through super senior (high excess). Losses on defaulted pool assets are allocated successively first to the equity tranche then to higher rated tranches.
(4) Commercial receivables: principally includes equipment leases and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
(5) Consumer receivables: principally includes auto loan receivables and credit card receivables.
(6) Other structured finance: predominantly trade receivable securitization, secured structured lending, and future flow transactions.
(7) Assured Guaranty internal rating. Our scale is comparable to that of the nationally recognized rating agencies.

(1) Our surveillance department is responsible for monitoring our portfolio of credits and maintains a list of closely monitored credits. The closely monitored credits are divided into four categories: Category 1 (low priority; fundamentally sound, greater than normal risk); Category 2 (medium priority; weakening credit profile, may result in loss); Category 3 (high priority; claim/default probable, case reserve established); Category 4 (claim paid, case reserve established for future payments). The closely monitored credits include all below investment grade (BIG) exposures where there is a material amount of exposure (generally greater than $10.0 million) or a material risk of the Company incurring a loss greater than $0.5 million. The closely monitored credits also include investment grade (IG) risks where credit quality is deteriorating and where, in the view of the Company, there is significant potential that the risk quality will fall below investment grade.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The following section describes why the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are useful for investors.
(a) PVP, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is an estimate of the after-tax value of financial guaranty and mortgage guaranty gross premiums and fees associated with new policies or transactions written in the current period. This measure includes both upfront and installment premiums received and the present value of estimated future installment premiums, discounted at 6% per year, on contracts written in the current period. We use 6% as the present value discount, because it is the approximate taxable equivalent yield on our investment portfolio for the periods presented. We believe PVP is a useful measure for management, equity analysts and investors because it permits the evaluation of the value of new business production for Assured Guaranty by taking into account the value of estimated future installment premiums on new contracts underwritten in a reporting period, which the GAAP gross premiums written does not adequately measure. Actual future net earned or written premiums may differ from PVP due to factors such as prepayments, amortizations, refundings, contract terminations or defaults that may or may not be influenced by market interest rates, refinancing or refunding activity, pre-payment speeds, policy changes or terminations, credit defaults, or other factors that management cannot control or predict.
(b) Operating income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income excluding after-tax realized gains (losses) on investments and after-tax unrealized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments. We believe the presentation of operating income enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) on investments and net unrealized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, market interest rates, credit spreads and other factors that management cannot control or predict. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.
(c) Adjusted book value, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as shareholders’ equity (book value) plus the after-tax value of the financial guaranty and mortgage guaranty unearned premium reserve net of prepaid reinsurance premiums and deferred acquisition costs plus the net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force after-tax (discounted at 6%). The premiums described above will be earned in future periods, but may differ materially from the estimated amounts used in determining current estimated adjusted book value due to changes in market interest rates, refinancing or refunding activity, pre-payment speeds, policy changes or terminations, credit defaults, and other factors that management cannot control or predict. Management, investors and analysts use the calculation of adjusted book value to evaluate the net present value of the Company’s in-force premiums and capital base.
(d) Net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is an estimate of the value of future financial guaranty and mortgage guaranty premiums on our in-force book of installment premium business. There is no comparable GAAP financial measure. Estimated future premiums may change from period to period due to changes in par outstanding, maturity or other factors that management cannot control or predict that result from market conditions, interest rates, early terminations or other factors. It is calculated net of reinsurance ceded and using a discount rate of 6%. We believe net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force is a useful measure for management, equity analysts and investors because it permits the evaluation of future estimated installment premiums.
