| Statement |
|---|
| We also retained about $235 million of National's dividends at the holding company to enhance MBIA Inc.'s liquidity and financial flexibility |
| That's impressive and great news |
| Pleased to see their basis in many cases, certainly, in my case too, way beyond their basis return |
| I think to your point, we are in a good position where we've got additional flexibility because of the inflows from the dividend |
| So both those things, we think, are real positive as you think about the value of the company going forward |
| We think the company is well positioned going forward as we resolve PREPA and the portfolio runs off to get additional money out of National, which I think is only beneficial for our shareholders |
| And I think if everything plays out the way you're suggesting, I think there is the potential for some upside |
| It seems like there were some pretty positive developments in Q4 |
| And with the liquidity that you now have at the holding company level, this naturally does give you some options for the first time, which is certainly a good thing |
| But again, as far as additional distributions, based on kind of a steady-state assumption, we've got ample time for additional distributions, and we're looking more towards 2030 at this point |
| William Fallon Thank you for your support |
| Great, thank you |
| But again, we've got to balance that against the other opportunities that we're having as we continue to simplify the company and position it for a strategic alternative |
| Paul Saunders Okay, sounds good |
| Good morning, everyone |
| And I think is it fair to say that there's some upside if the plan goes ahead as projected now? William Fallon Yes |
| Paul Saunders Good morning guys |
| Good day, and goodbye |
| So we'll continue to look for opportunities that make sense to us economically |
| John Stanley Thank you |
| Anthony McKiernan Thanks, Bill, and good morning |
| Thank you for your interest in MBIA |
| You may now disconnect your lines, and have a wonderful day. |
| Thank you |
| The higher GAAP net loss in 2023 was largely driven by an increase in loss in LAE expense at MBIA Corp |
| Regarding the balance of National's insured portfolio, those credits have continued to perform generally consistent with our expectations |
| Statement |
|---|
| Lower revenues driven by VIE activity at MBIA Corp., which was partially equity neutral, net losses on investments and higher interest expense related to MBIA Corp |
| MBIA Inc.'s book value per share decreased to a negative $32.56 per share as of December 31, 2023, versus a negative $16.07 per share as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to the net loss for the year and the $8 per share shareholder distribution in the fourth quarter of 2023 |
| was $152 million, down from $169 million at year-end 2022, primarily due to its year-to-date net loss |
| on its first lien RMBS insured credits related primarily to lower risk-free rates, and lower revenues driven by realized losses from sales of investments associated with funding dividends at National and the termination of swaps in the legacy ALM business at the holding company |
| The unfavorable comparison was primarily due to a lower loss in LAE benefit in Q4 2023 and lower premium earnings |
| I'd rather certainly going to have trouble buying stock because of all of the tremendous dynamics of the information flow, and you guys are not only on the court, but the other aspects of this |
| The unfavorable comparison was primarily due to higher net realized investment losses, higher loss in LAE and lower premiums |
| Included in book value as of December 31, 2023, is a negative $44.91 per share book value of MBIA Corp |
| The unfavorable comparison was primarily due to higher loss in LAE, net realized investment losses and lower premiums |
| The company reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $138 million or a negative $2.94 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of $52 million or negative $1.05 per share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 |
| The company's non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $169 million or negative $3.49 per diluted share for the fiscal year 2023 compared with an adjusted net loss of $145 million or a negative $2.90 per diluted share for fiscal year 2022 |
| For the 12 months ended December 31, 2023, the company reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $491 million or a negative $10.18 per share compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of $195 million or negative $3.92 per share for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 |
| Bill, it's obvious that the market doesn't fully appreciate all the complexities within MBIA |
| The unfavorable change was due primarily to lower premium revenues and nominal loss in LAE expense at National versus a benefit in the prior comparable quarter |
| As I said earlier, where we are now accounting for potentially lower absolute as-of-right dividends just because of the lower investment base |
| Important factors such as general market conditions and the competitive environment could cause our actual results to differ materially from the projected results referenced in our forward-looking statements |
| The company's adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure was $8 million or a negative $0.16 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with adjusted net income of $15 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| The unfavorable comparison was primarily due to loss in LAE expense in 2023 on first lien RMBS and salvage write-downs |
| And then -- so I was just kind of surprised that it didn't look like the loss adjustment expenses kind of reflected |
| The unfavorable change was due primarily to higher loss in LAE expense at National |
