MGIC Investment Corporation
Reports Second Quarter Results
MILWAUKEE (July 17, 2008) ¾ MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE:MTG) today reported a net loss
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $97.9 million, compared with net income of $76.7 million for
the same quarter a year ago. Diluted loss per share was $0.79 for the quarter ending June 30, 2008,
compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.93 for the same quarter a year ago.
The net loss for the first six months of 2008 was $132.3 million, compared with net income of
$169.1 million for the same period last year. For the first six months of 2008, diluted loss per
share was $1.27 compared with diluted earnings per share of $2.05 for the same period last year.
Curt S. Culver, chairman and chief executive officer of MGIC Investment Corporation and Mortgage
Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC), said that delinquencies and foreclosures remain at elevated
levels resulting from lower home values and a softening economy and as a result continue to impact
the companys financial results. He also noted that during the quarter the company announced
additional underwriting changes, increased premiums on all insurance products, amended the
revolving credit facility, and entered into a reinsurance agreement for new writings.
Total revenues for the second quarter were $424.5 million, up 15 percent from $369.0 million in the
second quarter of 2007. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from a 14.3 percent increase in
net premiums earned to $350.3 million. Net premiums written for the quarter were $371.8 million,
compared with $321.0 million in the second quarter last year, an increase of 15.8 percent.
New insurance written in the second quarter was $14.0 billion, compared to $19.0 billion in the
second quarter of 2007. New insurance written for the quarter included $0.6 billion of non-Wall
Street bulk transactions compared with $1.7 billion of bulk, including $0.8 billion of non-Wall
Street transactions, in the same period last year. New insurance written for the first six months
of 2008 was $33.1 billion compared to $31.7 billion in the first half of 2007 and includes $1.6
billion of non-Wall Street bulk business compared to $4.0 billion of bulk, including $1.1 billion
of non-Wall Street transactions, in the first half of 2007.
Persistency, or the percentage of insurance remaining in force from one year prior, was 79.7
percent at June 30, 2008, compared with 76.4 percent at December 31, 2007, and 72.0 percent at June
30, 2007.
As of June 30, 2008, MGICs primary insurance in force was $226.4 billion, compared with $211.7
billion at December 31, 2007, and $186.1 billion at June 30, 2007. The book value of MGIC
Investment Corporations investment portfolio, cash and cash equivalents was $7.8 billion at June
30, 2008, compared with $6.2 billion at December 31, 2007, and $5.6 billion at June 30, 2007.
At June 30, 2008, the percentage of loans that were delinquent, excluding bulk loans, was 6.02
percent, compared with 4.99 percent at December 31, 2007, and 3.95 percent at June 30, 2007.
Including bulk loans, the percentage of loans that were delinquent at June 30, 2008 was 8.60
percent, compared to 7.45 percent at December 31, 2007, and 6.11 percent at June 30, 2007.
Losses incurred in the second quarter were $688.1 million, up from $235.2 million reported for the
same period last year. Underwriting expenses were $70.8 million in the second quarter down from
$76.4 million reported for the same period last year.
Wall Street Bulk transactions, as of June 30, 2008, included approximately 129,900 loans with
insurance in force of approximately $22.0 billion and risk in force of approximately $6.5 billion.
During the quarter the premium deficiency reserve declined by $158.9 million from $947.1 million,
as of March 31, 2008, to $788.2 million as of June 30, 2008. The $788.2 million premium deficiency
reserve as of June 30, 2008 reflects the present value of expected future losses and expenses that
exceeded the present value of expected future premium and already established loss reserves. Within
the premium deficiency calculation, our expected present value of expected future paid losses and
expenses was $3,263 million, offset by the present value of expected future premium of $829 million
and already established loss reserves of $1,646 million. The premium deficiency reserves as of
March 31, 2008 reflected expected present value of expected future paid losses and expenses of
$3,397 million, offset by the present value of expected future premium of $874 million and already
established loss reserves of $1,576 million. During the first quarter the premium deficiency
reserve declined by $264 million from $1,211 million, as of December 31, 2007, to $947 million as
of March 31, 2008.
Income from joint ventures, net of tax, in the quarter was $11.2 million down from $31.9 million
for the same period last year. For the six months ending June 30, 2008 joint venture income, net
of tax, was $21.1 million versus joint venture income, net of tax, of $46.0 million for the same
period one year ago.

Safe Harbor Statement
Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors:
Our revenues and losses could be affected by the risk factors discussed below that are applicable
to us, and our income from our Sherman joint venture could be affected by the matters discussed in
the Sherman risk factor. These risk factors should be reviewed in connection with this press
release and our periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. 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. No investor should rely on the fact that such statements are current at any
time other than the time at which this press release was issued.
A downturn in the domestic economy or a decline in the value of borrowers homes from their value at
the time their loans closed may result in more homeowners defaulting and our losses increasing.
Losses result from events that reduce a borrowers ability to continue to make mortgage payments,
such as unemployment, and whether the home of a borrower who defaults on his mortgage can be sold
for an amount that will cover unpaid principal and interest and the expenses of the sale. Favorable
economic conditions generally reduce the likelihood that borrowers will lack sufficient income to
pay their mortgages and also favorably affect the value of homes, thereby reducing and in some
cases even eliminating a loss from a mortgage default. A deterioration in economic conditions
generally increases the likelihood that borrowers will not have sufficient income to pay their
mortgages and can also adversely affect housing values, which in turn can influence the willingness
of borrowers with sufficient resources to make mortgage payments to do so when the mortgage balance
exceeds the value of the home. Housing values may decline even absent a deterioration in economic
conditions due to declines in demand for homes, which in turn may result from changes in buyers
perceptions of the potential for future appreciation, restrictions on mortgage credit due to more
stringent underwriting standards or other factors. Recently, the residential mortgage market in the
United States has experienced a variety of worsening economic conditions and housing prices in many
areas have declined or stopped appreciating after extended periods of significant appreciation. A
significant deterioration in economic conditions or an extended period of flat or declining housing
values may result in increased losses which would materially affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
The mix of business we write also affects the likelihood of losses occurring.
Certain types of mortgages have higher probabilities of claims. These segments include loans with
loan-to-value ratios over 95% (including loans with 100% loan-to-value ratios or in certain markets
that have experienced
declining housing values, over 90%), FICO credit scores below 620, limited
underwriting, including limited borrower documentation, or total debt-to-income ratios of 38% or
higher, as well as loans having combinations of higher risk factors. As of June 30, 2008,
approximately 59.7% of our primary risk in force consisted of loans with loan-to-value ratios equal
to or greater than 95%, 10% had FICO credit scores below 620, and 15% had limited underwriting,
including limited borrower documentation.
A material portion of these loans were written in 2005 2007 and through the first quarter of
2008. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007 we made a series of changes to our underwriting
guidelines in an effort to improve the risk profile of the business we are writing, including
recent guideline changes that will become effective in early August 2008. Requirements imposed by
new guidelines, however, only affect business written under commitments to insure loans that are
issued when those guidelines become effective. Business for which commitments are issued after new
guidelines are announced and before they become effective is insured by us in accordance with the
guidelines in effect at time of the commitment even though that business would not meet the new
guidelines. For commitments we issue for loans that close and are insured by us, a period longer
than a calendar quarter can elapse between the time we issue a commitment to insure a loan and the
time we receive the payment of the first premium and report the loan in our risk in force, although
this period is generally shorter.
As of June 30, 2008, approximately 4.0% of our primary risk in force written through the flow
channel, and 40.1% of our primary risk in force written through the bulk channel, consisted of
adjustable rate mortgages in which the initial interest rate may be adjusted during the five years
after the mortgage closing (ARMs). We classify as fixed rate loans adjustable rate mortgages in
which the initial interest rate is fixed during the five years after the mortgage closing. We
believe that when the reset interest rate significantly exceeds the interest rate at loan
origination, claims on ARMs would be substantially higher than for fixed rate loans. Moreover, even
if interest rates remain unchanged, claims on ARMs with a teaser rate (an initial interest rate
that does not fully reflect the index which determines subsequent rates) may also be substantially
higher because of the increase in the mortgage payment that will occur when the fully indexed rate
becomes effective. In addition, we believe the volume of interest-only loans, which may also be
ARMs, and loans with negative amortization features, such as pay option ARMs, increased in 2005 and
2006 and remained at these levels during the first half of 2007, before beginning to decline in the
second half of 2007. Because interest-only loans and pay option ARMs are a relatively recent
development, we have no meaningful data on their historical performance. We believe claim rates on
certain of these loans will be substantially higher than on loans without scheduled payment
increases that are made to borrowers of comparable credit quality.
Although we attempt to incorporate these higher expected claim rates into our underwriting and
pricing models, there can be no assurance that the premiums earned and the associated investment
income will prove adequate to compensate for actual losses even under our current underwriting
guidelines. We do, however, believe that given the various changes in our underwriting guidelines
that are effective in 2008, our 2008 book will generate underwriting profit.
Because we establish loss reserves only upon a loan default rather than based on estimates of our
ultimate losses, our earnings may be adversely affected by losses disproportionately in certain
periods.
In accordance with GAAP for the mortgage insurance industry, we establish loss reserves only for
loans in default. Reserves are established for reported insurance losses and loss adjustment
expenses based on when notices of default on insured mortgage loans are received. Reserves are also
established for estimated losses incurred on notices of default that have not yet been reported to
us by the servicers (this is what is referred to as IBNR in the mortgage insurance industry). We
establish reserves using estimated claims rates and claims amounts in estimating the ultimate loss.
Because our reserving method does not take account of the impact of future losses that could occur
from loans that are not delinquent, our obligation for ultimate losses that we expect to occur
under our policies in force at any period end is not reflected in our financial statements, except
in the case where a premium deficiency exists. As a result, future losses may have a material
impact on future results as losses emerge.
Loss reserve estimates are subject to uncertainties and paid claims may substantially exceed our
loss reserves.
We establish reserves using estimated claim rates and claim amounts in estimating the ultimate
loss. The estimated claim rates and claim amounts represent what we believe best reflect the
estimate of what will actually be paid on the loans in default as of the reserve date.
The establishment of loss reserves is subject to inherent uncertainty and requires judgment by
management. The actual amount of the claim payments may be substantially higher than our loss
reserve estimates. Our estimates could be adversely affected by several factors, including a
deterioration of regional or national economic conditions leading to a reduction in borrowers
income and thus their ability to make mortgage payments, and a drop in housing values that could
materially reduce our ability to mitigate potential loss through property acquisition and resale or
expose us to greater loss on resale of properties obtained through the claim settlement process.
Changes to our estimates could result in material impact to our results of operations, even in a
stable economic environment, and there can be no assurance that actual claims paid by us will not
substantially exceed our loss reserves.
Our Consolidated Net Worth could fall below the minimum amount required under our bank debt.
We have a $300 million bank revolving credit facility which matures in March 2010 and under which
$200 million is outstanding.
Our revolving credit facility, as amended in June 2008, requires that we maintain Consolidated Net
Worth of no less than $2.00 billion at all times. However, if as of June 30, 2009, our Consolidated
Net Worth equals or exceeds $2.75 billion, then the minimum Consolidated Net Worth under the
facility will be increased to $2.25 billion at all times from and after June 30, 2009.
Consolidated Net Worth is generally defined in our credit agreement as the sum of our consolidated
stockholders equity (determined in accordance with GAAP) plus the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of our 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2063. The current
aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due
2063 is $390 million.
At June 30, 2008, our Consolidated Net Worth was approximately $3.25 billion. We expect we will
have a net loss in the remainder of 2008, with the result that we expect our Consolidated Net Worth
to decline. Our current forecast of our 2008 net loss would result in our forecasted Consolidated
Net Worth at December 31, 2008 being materially above the $2.0 billion minimum. There can be no
assurance that our actual results will not be materially worse than our forecast or that losses in
periods after 2008 will not reduce our Consolidated Net Worth below the minimum amount required.
In addition, regardless of our results of operations, our Consolidated Net Worth would be reduced
to the extent the carrying value of our investment portfolio declines from its carrying value at
June 30, 2008 due to market value adjustments and to the extent we pay dividends to our
shareholders. At June 30, 2008, the modified duration of our fixed income portfolio was 4.1 years,
which means that an instantaneous parallel upward shift in the yield curve of 100 basis points
would result in a decline of 4.1% (approximately $319 million) in the market value of this
portfolio. Market value adjustments could also occur as a result of changes in credit spreads.
If we did not meet the minimum Consolidated Net Worth requirement in our revolving credit facility
and are not successful obtaining an agreement from banks holding a majority of the debt outstanding
under the facility to change (or waive) this requirement, banks holding a majority of the debt
outstanding under the facility would have the right to declare the entire amount of the outstanding
debt due and payable. If the debt under our facility were accelerated in this manner, the holders
of 25% or more of our publicly traded $200 million 5.625% senior notes due in September 2011, and
the holders of 25% or more of our publicly traded $300 million 5.375% senior notes due in November
2015, each would have the right to accelerate the maturity of that debt. In addition, the trustee
of these two issues of senior notes, which is also a lender under our revolving credit facility,
could, independent of any action by holders of senior notes, accelerate the maturity of the senior
notes. In the event the amounts owing under our revolving credit facility or any series of our
outstanding senior notes are accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds to repay any such
amounts.
The premiums we charge may not be adequate to compensate us for our liabilities for losses and as a
result any inadequacy could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We set premiums at the time a policy is issued based on our expectations regarding likely
performance over the long-term. Generally, we cannot cancel the mortgage insurance coverage or
adjust renewal premiums during the life of a mortgage insurance policy. As a result, higher than
anticipated claims generally cannot be offset by premium increases on policies in force or
mitigated by our non-renewal or cancellation of insurance coverage. The premiums we charge, and the
associated investment income, may not be adequate to compensate us for the risks and costs
associated with the insurance coverage provided to customers. An increase in the number or size of
claims, compared to what we anticipate, could adversely affect our results of operations or
financial condition.
On January 22, 2008, we announced that we had decided to stop writing the portion of our bulk
business that insures loans which are included in Wall Street securitizations because the
performance of loans included in such securitizations deteriorated materially in the fourth quarter
of 2007 and this deterioration was materially worse than we experienced for loans insured through
the flow channel or loans insured through the remainder of our bulk channel. On February 13, 2008,
we announced that we had established a premium deficiency reserve of approximately $1.2 billion. As
of June 30, 2008, the premium deficiency reserve was $788.2 million. This amount is the present
value of expected future losses and expenses that exceeded the present value of expected future
premium and already established loss reserves on these bulk transactions.
There can be no assurance that additional premium deficiency reserves on other portions of our
insurance portfolio will not be required.
The amount of insurance we write could be adversely affected if lenders and investors select
alternatives to private mortgage insurance.
These alternatives to private mortgage insurance include:
|
|
|
lenders and other investors holding mortgages in portfolio and self-insuring, |
|
|
|
|
investors using credit enhancements other than private mortgage insurance, using other
credit enhancements in conjunction with reduced levels of private mortgage insurance
coverage, or accepting credit risk without credit enhancement, |
|
|
|
|
lenders using government mortgage insurance programs, including those of the Federal
Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration, and |
|
|
|
|
lenders originating mortgages using piggyback structures to avoid private mortgage
insurance, such as a first mortgage with an 80% loan-to-value ratio and a second mortgage
with a 10%, 15% or 20% loan-to- value ratio (referred to as 80-10-10, 80-15-5 or 80-20
loans, respectively) rather than a first mortgage with a 90%, 95% or 100% loan-to-value
ratio that has private mortgage insurance. |
Our financial strength rating has been downgraded below Aa3/AA-, which could reduce the volume of
our new business writings.
Standard & Poors Rating Services insurer financial strength rating of MGIC, our principal
mortgage insurance subsidiary, is A with a negative outlook. The financial strength of MGIC is
rated A1 by Moodys Investors Service and with a negative outlook. The financial strength of MGIC
is rated A+ by Fitch Ratings and is on rating watch negative.
The private mortgage insurance industry has historically viewed a financial strength rating of at
least Aa3/AA- as critical to writing new business. In part this view has resulted from the mortgage
insurer eligibility requirements of
the GSEs, which each year purchase the majority of loans insured by us and the rest of the private
mortgage insurance industry. The eligibility requirements define the standards under which the GSEs
will accept mortgage insurance as a credit enhancement on mortgages they acquire. These standards
impose additional restrictions on insurers that do not have a financial strength rating of at least
Aa3/AA-. These restrictions include not permitting such insurers to engage in captive reinsurance
transactions with lenders. For many years, captive reinsurance has been an important means through
which mortgage insurers compete for business from lenders, including lenders who sell a large
volume of mortgages to the GSEs. In February 2008 Freddie Mac announced that it was temporarily
suspending the portion of its eligibility requirements that impose additional restrictions on a
mortgage insurer that is downgraded below Aa3/AA- if the affected insurer commits to submitting a
complete remediation plan for its approval. In February 2008 Fannie Mae advised us that it would
not automatically impose additional restrictions on a mortgage insurer that is downgraded below
Aa3/AA- if the affected insurer submits a written remediation plan.
We have submitted written remediation plans to both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac has
publicly announced that our remediation plan is acceptable to it. Fannie Mae has not completed its
review of our remediation plan. Our remediation plans include projections of our future financial
performance. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete our
remediation plans in a timely manner. In addition, there can be no assurance that Freddie Mac and
Fannie Mae will continue the positions described above with respect to mortgage insurers that have
been downgraded below Aa3/AA-.
Apart from the effect of the eligibility requirements of the GSEs, we believe lenders who hold
mortgages in portfolio and choose to obtain mortgage insurance on the loans assess a mortgage
insurers financial strength rating as one element of the process through which they select
mortgage insurers. As a result of these considerations, a mortgage insurer such as MGIC that is
rated less than Aa3/AA- may be competitively disadvantaged.
Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our revenues or
increase our losses.
Competition for private mortgage insurance premiums occurs not only among private mortgage insurers
but also with mortgage lenders through captive mortgage reinsurance transactions. In these
transactions, a lenders affiliate reinsures a portion of the insurance written by a private
mortgage insurer on mortgages originated or serviced by the lender. As discussed under - We are
subject to risk from private litigation and regulatory proceedings below, we provided information
to the New York Insurance Department and the Minnesota Department of Commerce about captive
mortgage reinsurance arrangements and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, commonly
referred to as HUD, has recently issued a subpoena covering similar information. Other insurance
departments or other officials, including attorneys general, may also seek information about or
investigate captive mortgage reinsurance.
In recent years, the level of competition within the private mortgage insurance industry has been
intense as many large mortgage lenders reduced the number of private mortgage insurers with whom
they do business. At the same time, consolidation among mortgage lenders has increased the share of
the mortgage lending market held by large lenders. Our private mortgage insurance competitors
include:
|
|
|
PMI Mortgage Insurance Company, |
|
|
|
|
Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, |
|
|
|
|
United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company, |
|
|
|
|
Radian Guaranty Inc., |
|
|
|
|
Republic Mortgage Insurance Company, whose parent, based on information filed with the
SEC through July 1, 2008, is our largest shareholder, and |
|
|
|
|
CMG Mortgage Insurance Company. |
Our relationships with our customers could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including
continued tightening of our underwriting guidelines, which will result in our declining to insure
some of the loans originated by our customers. We believe the Federal Housing Administration, which
until recently we was not viewed by us as a significant competitor, has substantially increased its
market share, including insuring a number of loans that would meet our current underwriting
guidelines at a cost to the borrower that is lower than the cost of our insurance.
While the mortgage insurance industry has not had new entrants in many years, it is possible that
positive business fundamentals combined with the deterioration of the financial strength ratings of
the existing mortgage insurance companies could encourage the formation of start-up mortgage
insurers.
If interest rates decline, house prices appreciate or mortgage insurance cancellation requirements
change, the length of time that our policies remain in force could decline and result in declines
in our revenue.
In each year, most of our premiums are from insurance that has been written in prior years. As a
result, the length of time insurance remains in force, which is also generally referred to as
persistency, is a significant determinant of our revenues. The factors affecting the length of time
our insurance remains in force include:
|
|
|
the level of current mortgage interest rates compared to the mortgage coupon rates on
the insurance in force, which affects the vulnerability of the insurance in force to
refinancings, and |
|
|
|
|
mortgage insurance cancellation policies of mortgage investors along with the rate of
home price appreciation experienced by the homes underlying the mortgages in the insurance
in force. |
During the 1990s, our year-end persistency ranged from a high of 87.4% at December 31, 1990 to a
low of 68.1% at December 31, 1998. At June 30, 2008 persistency was at 79.7%, compared to the
record low of 44.9% at September 30, 2003. Over the past several years, refinancing has become
easier to accomplish and less costly for many consumers. Hence, even in an interest rate and house
price environment favorable to persistency improvement, persistency may not reach its December 31,
1990 level.
If the volume of low down payment home mortgage originations declines, the amount of insurance that
we write could decline, which would reduce our revenues.
The factors that affect the volume of low-down-payment mortgage originations include:
|
|
|
the level of home mortgage interest rates, |
|
|
|
|
the health of the domestic economy as well as conditions in regional and local
economies, |
|
|
|
|
housing affordability, |
|
|
|
|
population trends, including the rate of household formation, |
|
|
|
|
the rate of home price appreciation, which in times of heavy refinancing can affect
whether refinance loans have loan-to-value ratios that require private mortgage insurance,
and |
|

government housing policy encouraging loans to first-time homebuyers. |
Changes in the business practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could reduce our revenues or
increase our losses.
The majority of our insurance written through the flow channel is for loans sold to Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, each of which is a government sponsored entity, or GSE. As a result, the business
practices of the GSEs affect the entire relationship between them and mortgage insurers and
include:
|
|
|
the level of private mortgage insurance coverage, subject to the limitations of Fannie
Mae and Freddie Macs charters, when private mortgage insurance is used as the required
credit enhancement on low down payment mortgages, |
|
|
|
|
whether Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac influence the mortgage lenders selection of the
mortgage insurer providing coverage and, if so, any transactions that are related to that
selection, |
|
|
|
|
the underwriting standards that determine what loans are eligible for purchase by
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which thereby affect the quality of the risk insured by the
mortgage insurer and the availability of mortgage loans, |
|
|
|
|
the terms on which mortgage insurance coverage can be canceled before reaching the
cancellation thresholds established by law, and |
|
|
|
|
the circumstances in which mortgage servicers must perform activities intended to avoid
or mitigate loss on insured mortgages that are delinquent. |
In addition, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have policies which provide guidelines on terms under
which they can conduct business with mortgage insurers with financial strength ratings below
Aa3/AA-. In February 2008 Freddie Mac announced that it was temporarily suspending the portion of
its eligibility requirements that impose additional restrictions on a mortgage insurer that is
downgraded below Aa3/AA- if the affected insurer commits to submitting a complete remediation plan
for its approval. In February 2008 Fannie Mae advised us that it would not automatically impose
additional restrictions on a mortgage insurer that is downgraded below Aa3/AA- if the affected
insurer submits a written remediation plan. We have submitted written remediation plans to both
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac has publicly announced that our remediation plan is
acceptable to it. Fannie Mae has not completed its review of our remediation plan. Our
remediation plans include projections of our future financial performance. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully complete our remediation plans in a timely manner.
In addition, there can be no assurance that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae will continue the positions
described above with respect to mortgage insurers that have been downgraded below Aa3/AA-.
We are subject to the risk of private litigation and regulatory proceedings.
Consumers are bringing a growing number of lawsuits against home mortgage lenders and settlement
service providers. In recent years, seven mortgage insurers, including MGIC, have been involved in
litigation alleging violations of the anti-referral fee provisions of the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act, which is commonly known as RESPA, and the notice provisions of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, which is commonly known as FCRA. MGICs settlement of class action litigation
against it under RESPA became final in October 2003. MGIC settled the named plaintiffs claims in
litigation against it under FCRA in late December 2004 following denial of class certification in
June 2004. Since December 2006, class action litigation was separately brought against a number of
large lenders alleging that their captive mortgage reinsurance arrangements violated RESPA. While
we are not a defendant in any of these cases, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject
to future litigation under RESPA or FCRA or that the outcome of any such litigation would not have
a material adverse effect on us.
In June 2005, in response to a letter from the New York Insurance Department, we provided
information regarding captive mortgage reinsurance arrangements and other types of arrangements in
which lenders receive compensation. In
February 2006, the New York Insurance Department requested MGIC to review its premium rates in New
York
and to file adjusted rates based on recent years experience or to explain why such experience
would not alter rates. In March 2006, MGIC advised the New York Insurance Department that it
believes its premium rates are reasonable and that, given the nature of mortgage insurance risk,
premium rates should not be determined only by the experience of recent years. In February 2006, in
response to an administrative subpoena from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which regulates
insurance, we provided the Department with information about captive mortgage reinsurance and
certain other matters. We subsequently provided additional information to the Minnesota Department
of Commerce, and in March 2008 that Department sought additional information as well as answers to
interrogatories regarding captive mortgage reinsurance. In June 2008, we received a subpoena from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, commonly referred to as HUD, seeking information
about captive mortgage reinsurance similar to that requested by the Minnesota Department of
Commerce, but not limited in scope to the state of Minnesota. Other insurance departments or other
officials, including attorneys general, may also seek information about or investigate captive
mortgage reinsurance.
The anti-referral fee provisions of RESPA provide that the Department of Housing and Urban
Development as well as the insurance commissioner or attorney general of any state may bring an
action to enjoin violations of these provisions of RESPA. The insurance law provisions of many
states prohibit paying for the referral of insurance business and provide various mechanisms to
enforce this prohibition. While we believe our captive reinsurance arrangements are in conformity
with applicable laws and regulations, it is not possible to predict the outcome of any such reviews
or investigations nor is it possible to predict their effect on us or the mortgage insurance
industry.
In October 2007, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission requested
that we voluntarily furnish documents and information primarily relating to C-BASS, the
now-terminated merger with Radian and the subprime mortgage assets in the Companys various lines
of business. We are in the process of providing responsive documents and information to the
Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of its initial information request, the SEC staff
informed us that this investigation should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its
staff that any violation of the securities laws has occurred, or as a reflection upon any person,
entity or security.
In the second and third quarters of 2008, complaints in four separate purported stockholder class
action lawsuits were filed against us and several of our officers. The allegations in the
complaints are generally that through these officers we violated the federal securities laws by
failing to disclose or misrepresenting C-BASS liquidity, the impairment of our investment in
C-BASS, the inadequacy of our loss reserves and that we were not adequately capitalized. The
collective time period covered by these lawsuits begins on October 12, 2006 and ends on February
12, 2008. The complaints seek damages based on purchases of our stock during this time period at
prices that were inflated as a result of the purported misstatements and omissions. With limited
exceptions, our bylaws provide that our officers are entitled to indemnification from us for claims
against them of the type alleged in the complaints. We believe, among other things, that the
allegations in the complaints are not sufficient to prevent their dismissal and intend to defend
against them vigorously. However, we are unable to predict the outcome of these cases or estimate
our associated expenses or possible losses.
Two law firms have issued press releases to the effect that they are investigating whether the
fiduciaries of our 401(k) plan breached their fiduciary duties regarding the plans investment in
or holding of our common stock. With limited exceptions, our bylaws provide that the plan
fiduciaries are entitled to indemnification from us for claims against them. We intend to defend
vigorously any proceedings that may result from these investigations.
The Internal Revenue Service has proposed significant adjustments to our taxable income for 2000
through 2004.
The Internal Revenue Service conducted an examination of our federal income tax returns for taxable
years 2000 though 2004. On June 1, 2007, as a result of this examination, we received a revenue
agent report. The adjustments reported on the revenue agent report would substantially increase
taxable income for those tax years and resulted in the issuance of an assessment for unpaid taxes
totaling $189.5 million in taxes and accuracy related penalties, plus applicable interest. We have
agreed with the Internal Revenue Service on certain issues and paid $10.5 million in
additional taxes and interest. The remaining open issue relates to our treatment of the flow
through income and loss
from an investment in a portfolio of residual interests of Real Estate
Mortgage Investment Conduits, or REMICs. This portfolio has been managed and maintained during
years prior to, during and subsequent to the examination period. The Internal Revenue Service has
indicated that it does not believe, for various reasons, that we have established sufficient tax
basis in the REMIC residual interests to deduct the losses from taxable income. We disagree with
this conclusion and believe that the flow through income and loss from these investments was
properly reported on our federal income tax returns in accordance with applicable tax laws and
regulations in effect during the periods involved and have appealed these adjustments. The appeals
process may take some time and a final resolution may not be reached until a date many months or
years into the future. In July 2007, we made a payment on account of $65.2 million with the United
States Department of the Treasury to eliminate the further accrual of interest. We believe, after
discussions with outside counsel about the issues raised in the revenue agent report and the
procedures for resolution of the disputed adjustments, that an adequate provision for income taxes
has been made for potential liabilities that may result from these notices. If the outcome of this
matter results in payments that differ materially from our expectations, it could have a material
impact on our effective tax rate, results of operations and cash flows.
Net premiums written could be adversely affected if the Department of Housing and Urban Development
reproposes and adopts a regulation under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act that is
equivalent to a proposed regulation that was withdrawn in 2004.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, regulations under RESPA prohibit paying
lenders for the referral of settlement services, including mortgage insurance, and prohibit lenders
from receiving such payments. In July 2002, HUD proposed a regulation that would exclude from these
anti-referral fee provisions settlement services included in a package of settlement services
offered to a borrower at a guaranteed price. HUD withdrew this proposed regulation in March 2004.
Under the proposed regulation, if mortgage insurance were required on a loan, the package must
include any mortgage insurance premium paid at settlement. Although certain state insurance
regulations prohibit an insurers payment of referral fees, had this regulation been adopted in
this form, our revenues could have been adversely affected to the extent that lenders offered such
packages and received value from us in excess of what they could have received were the
anti-referral fee provisions of RESPA to apply and if such state regulations were not applied to
prohibit such payments.
We could be adversely affected if personal information on consumers that we maintain is improperly
disclosed.
As part of our business, we maintain large amounts of personal information on consumers. While we
believe we have appropriate information security policies and systems to prevent unauthorized
disclosure, there can be no assurance that unauthorized disclosure, either through the actions of
third parties or employees, will not occur. Unauthorized disclosure could adversely affect our
reputation and expose us to material claims for damages.
The implementation of the Basel II capital accord may discourage the use of mortgage insurance.
In 1988, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision developed the Basel Capital Accord (the Basel
I), which set out international benchmarks for assessing banks capital adequacy requirements. In
June 2005, the Basel Committee issued an update to Basel I (as revised in November 2005, Basel II).
Basel II, which is scheduled to become effective in the United States and many other countries in
2008, affects the capital treatment provided to mortgage insurance by domestic and international
banks in both their origination and securitization activities.
The Basel II provisions related to residential mortgages and mortgage insurance may provide
incentives to certain of our bank customers not to insure mortgages having a lower risk of claim
and to insure mortgages having a higher risk of claim. The Basel II provisions may also alter the
competitive positions and financial performance of mortgage insurers in other ways, including
reducing our ability to successfully establish or operate our planned international operations.
We may not be able to realize benefits from our international initiative.
We have committed significant resources to begin international operations, initially in Australia,
where we started to write business in June 2007. In view of our need to dedicate capital to our
domestic mortgage insurance operations, we have been exploring alternatives for our international
activities which may include a partner or reinsurance. Because these efforts have not been
successful to date, we are also implementing reductions in our Australian headcount. In addition
to the general economic and insurance business-related factors discussed above, we are subject to a
number of other risks from having deployed capital in Australia, including foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations and interest-rate volatility particular to Australia.
We are susceptible to disruptions in the servicing of mortgage loans that we insure.
We depend on reliable, consistent third-party servicing of the loans that we insure. A recent trend
in the mortgage lending and mortgage loan servicing industry has been towards consolidation of loan
servicers. This reduction in the number of servicers could lead to disruptions in the servicing of
mortgage loans covered by our insurance policies. This, in turn, could contribute to a rise in
delinquencies among those loans and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results. Additionally, increasing delinquencies have strained the resources
of servicers, reducing their ability to undertake mitigation efforts that could help limit our
losses.
Our income from our Sherman joint venture could be adversely affected by uncertain economic factors
impacting the consumer sector and by lenders reducing the availability of credit or increasing its
cost.
Sherman is principally engaged in purchasing and collecting for its own account delinquent consumer
receivables, which are primarily unsecured, and in originating and servicing subprime credit card
receivables. Shermans results are sensitive to its ability to purchase receivable portfolios on
favorable terms and to service those receivables such that it meets its return targets. In
addition, the volume of credit card originations and the related returns on the credit card
portfolio are impacted by general economic conditions and consumer behavior. Shermans operations
are principally financed with debt under credit facilities. Recently there has been significant
tightening in credit markets, with the result that lenders are generally becoming more restrictive
in the amount of credit they are willing to provide and in the terms of credit that is provided.
Credit tightening could adversely impact Shermans ability to obtain sufficient funding to maintain
or expand its business and could increase the cost of funding that is obtained.

In accordance with industry practice, loans approved by GSE and other automated underwriting
(AU) systems under doc waiver programs that do not require verification of
borrower income are classified by MGIC as full doc. Based in part on information provided by
the GSEs, MGIC estimates full doc loans of this type were approximately 4% of 2007
NIW. Information for other periods is not available. MGIC understands these AU systems grant
such doc waivers for loans they judge to have higher credit quality. To the extent
the percentage of loans judged to have higer credit quality increases, the percentage of such doc
waivers would also be expected to increase. |
