MGIC Investment Corporation Releases Monthly Operating Statistics

Mar 8, 2017

MILWAUKEE, March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: MTG) today issued a February 2017 Operational Summary of the primary mortgage insurance of its insurance subsidiaries. The summary is also available on the company's website at http://mtg.mgic.com, under Investor Information, Press Releases.

The information concerning new delinquency notices and cures is compiled from 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 accuracy of the data provided by servicers, the number of business days in a month, transfers of servicing between loan servicers, and whether all servicers have provided the reports in a given month (one servicer did not report new notices or cures for January 2017 but reported January and February 2017 notice and cure activity, on a net basis, in February. We are not aware of any missing reports at this time).
