Exhibit 99.1
MBIA Inc. First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
May 9, 2024
MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) (the Company) today reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $86 million, or $(1.84) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024 compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of $93 million, or $(1.86) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2023. The lower net loss was primarily due to favorable variances from discontinued operations associated with Zohar-related recoveries at MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA Corp.), mark-to-market gains and losses on interest rate swaps in our Corporate segment and foreign exchange gains and losses on MBIA Global Funding medium-term notes. These favorable variances were partially offset by higher losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) and higher losses related to variable interest entities. The greater losses and LAE largely resulted from higher losses on Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) exposure at National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (National) due to the delay of the potential implementation of the restructuring plan, partially offset by a favorable variance at MBIA Corp., primarily related to RMBS exposure that benefited from changes in risk-free interest rates.
Book value per share was negative $33.80 as of March 31, 2024 compared with a negative $32.56 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in book value per share since year-end 2022 was largely due to the net loss for the quarter.
The Company also reported an Adjusted Net Loss (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $24 million or $(0.52) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023 compared with an Adjusted Net Loss of $1 million or $(0.03) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023. The greater net loss was primarily due to the increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses at National related to its PREPA exposure.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provides investors with views of the Company’s operating results that management uses in measuring financial performance. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, are included below.
MBIA Inc.
As of March 31, 2024, MBIA Inc.’s liquidity position totaled $376 million, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents and liquid invested assets.
There have been no purchases of MBIA Inc. shares during the first quarter of 2024. As of May 2, 2024, there was $71 million of remaining capacity under the Company’s share repurchase authorization and 51.3 million of the Company’s common shares outstanding.
National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation
National had statutory capital of $1.1 billion and claims-paying resources totaling $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2024. National’s total fixed income investments plus cash and cash equivalents had a book/adjusted carrying value of $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2024. National’s insured portfolio declined by $0.6 billion during the quarter, ending the quarter with $27.8 billion of gross par outstanding. National ended the quarter with a leverage ratio of gross par to statutory capital of 25 to 1, unchanged from year-end 2023.
MBIA Insurance Corporation
The statutory capital of MBIA Insurance Corporation as of March 31, 2024 was $119 million and claims-paying resources totaled $468 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes statements that are not historical or current facts and are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "believe", "anticipate," "project," "plan," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "will," "will likely result," "looking forward," or "will continue," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected, including, among other factors, the possibility that MBIA Inc. or National will experience increased credit losses or impairments on public finance obligations issued by state, local and territorial governments and finance authorities that are experiencing unprecedented fiscal stress; the possibility that loss reserve estimates are not adequate to cover potential claims; MBIA Inc.'s or National's ability to fully implement their strategic plan; changes in general economic and competitive conditions; and the impact on our insured portfolios or business operations caused by the global spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. These and other factors that could affect financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying MBIA Inc.'s or National's forward-looking statements are discussed under the "Risk Factors" section in MBIA Inc.'s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which may be updated or amended in MBIA Inc.'s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. MBIA Inc. and National caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only to their respective dates. National and MBIA Inc. undertake no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement if it later becomes aware that such result is not likely to be achieved.
MBIA Inc., headquartered in Purchase, New York is a holding company whose subsidiaries provide financial guarantee insurance for the public and structured finance markets. Please visit MBIA's website at www.mbia.com.
Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following are explanations of why the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, which serve to supplement GAAP information, are meaningful to investors.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss): Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a useful measurement of performance because it measures income from the Company excluding its international and structured finance insurance segment, comprising the results of MBIA Corp. which given its capital structure and business prospects, we do not expect its financial performance to have a material impact on MBIA Inc. Also excluded from Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are investment portfolio realized gains and losses, gains and losses on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange, and realized gains and losses on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) eliminates the tax provision (benefit) as a result of a full valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax asset. Trends in the underlying profitability of the Company's businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the excluded items previously noted. Adjusted
Net Income (Loss) as defined by the Company does not include all revenues and expenses required by GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a substitute for and should not be viewed in isolation from GAAP net income.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share represents that amount of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) allocated to each fully diluted weighted-average common share outstanding for the measurement period.
MBIA management further adjusts Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share by removing the impact of our U.S. public finance insurance segment VIE consolidations. GAAP requires the Company to consolidate certain VIEs that have issued debt obligations insured by the Company. However, since the Company does not own such VIEs, management uses certain measures that remove the impact of VIE consolidations for our U.S. public finance insurance segment in order to reflect financial exposure limited to its financial guaranty contracts.
Book Value adjustments: Management adjusts GAAP book value to remove the book value of MBIA Corp. and for certain items which the Company believes will reverse from GAAP book value through GAAP earnings and comprehensive income, as well as add in the impact of certain items which the Company believes will be realized in GAAP book value in future periods. The Company has limited such adjustments to those items that it deems to be important when measuring financial performance and for which the likelihood and amount can be reasonably estimated. The following provides a description of management's adjustments to GAAP book value:
Claims-paying Resources (CPR): CPR is a key measure of the resources available to National and MBIA Corp. to pay claims under their respective insurance policies. CPR consists of total financial resources and reserves calculated on a statutory basis. CPR has been a common measure used by financial guarantee insurance companies to report and compare resources and continues to be used by MBIA's management to evaluate changes in such resources. The Company has provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate National and MBIA Corp. using the same measure that MBIA's management uses to evaluate their resources to pay claims under their respective insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure.
Leverage Ratio: Gross Par Outstanding divided by Statutory Capital (Policyholders' Surplus plus Contingency Reserve).
