On January 29, 2024, the First Circuit Court of Appeals heardsee in full comparisonargumentarguments on the appeal of Judge Swain's ruling on the scope of the bondholder liens and the allowed amount of the under-secured portion of the bondholders' unsecured claim. On June 12, 2024, the First Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Swain's prior rulings and supported bondholder liens and claim amounts (the "Appeal Decision"). On June 26, 2024, the Oversight Board filed a petition for a First Circuit panel rehearing, and the Unsecured Creditors Committee ("UCC") filed an en banc appeal. On November 13, 2024, the First Circuit affirmed the Appeal Decision. On November 27, 2024, the Oversight Board filed a petition for further rehearing, and on December 31, 2024, the First Circuit denied the rehearing request. Followinga status conference held on July 10, 2024, the Court imposed a 60-day stay of all litigation and other filings related to the amended Plan, which stay was subsequently extended until March 24, 2025, and ordered the parties into mediation. Followingthe Appeal Decision, the Oversight Board informed the Court, National and other parties that it intended to modify National’s settlement in a forthcoming amended Plan. Thereafter, National provided notice to the Oversight Board that National did not supporttheOversightboard'sBoard's actions and that such actions constituted a breach and termination of the PREPA RSA, as amended. On January 29, 2025, the Court extended its litigation stay through March 24, 2025, and on March 3, 2025, entered an order identifying key legal issues and requiring a joint proposed litigation schedule. On March 20, 2025, the Court set a briefing schedule addressing the key issues and requested the parties provide a joint status report by May 30, 2025 proposing a plan for limited discovery necessary to resolve the issues. On June 11, 2025, the Court set June 30, 2025, as the deadline for discovery, and July 23, 2025, for oral arguments in the administrative expense claim motion. Following the hearing, the Court reserved its decision on the legal issues and permitted the parties to continue resolution of discovery disputes. On August 8, 2025, the Court entered an order suspending deadlines for the Administrative Expense Claim until further order of the Court. On October 22, 2025, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer on scheduling issues in the Administrative Expense Claim litigation and required they filed a Joint Status Report by November 24, 2025. Following the filing of the Joint Status Report, the Court entered an order dated December 9, 2025, lifting the litigation stay to permit the parties to litigate motions to compel solely in connection with the Administrative Expense Motion. Bondholders filed their Motion to Compel on January 9, 2026, and the Oversight Board on January 23, 2026 filed its opposition. Bondholders filed their reply brief on February 6, 2026. There is no assurance that a plan that is substantially similar in the treatment of National's claims and rights will ultimately be confirmed and become effective.
In addition, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk in respect of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. In addition to insured liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, some of the remaining liabilities in our corporate segment are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and the assets of our corporate segment are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies could substantially increase our potential obligations and statutory capital exposure.see in full comparisonConversely, the Company makes investments denominated in a foreign currency and the weakening of the foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar will diminish the value of such non-U.S. dollar denominated asset.Exchange rates have fluctuated significantly in recent periods and may continue to do so in the future, which could adversely impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Consequently, National's inabilitiesinability to pay dividends or our inability to access capital from external sources on favorable terms could have an adverse impact on our ability to pay losses and debt obligations, to pay dividends on our capital stock, to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness, to pay our operating expenses and to make capital investments in our subsidiaries. In addition, future capital raises for equity or equity-linked securities could result in dilution to the Company's shareholders. Also, some securities that the Company could issue, such as preferred stock or securities issued by the Company's operating subsidiaries may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of its common shares.
In addition, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk in respect of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. In addition to insured liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, some of the remaining liabilities in our corporate segment are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and the assets of our corporate segment are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies could substantially increase our potential obligations and statutory capital exposure. Conversely, the Company makes investments denominated in a foreign currency and the weakening of the foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar will diminish the value of such non-U.S. dollar denominated asset. Exchange rates have fluctuated significantly in recent periods and may continue to do so in the future, which could adversely impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
MBIA Insurance Corporation is particularly sensitive to the risk that it will not have sufficient capital or liquid resources to meet contractual payment obligations when due or to make settlement payments in order to terminate insured exposures to avoid losses. While management’s expected liquidity and capital forecasts for MBIA Insurance Corporation reflect adequate resources to pay expected claims, there are risks to the capital and liquidity forecasts as MBIA Insurance Corporation’s remaining insured exposures and its expected salvage recoveries are potentially volatile. Such volatility exists in salvage that MBIA Insurance Corporation may collect, including in particular recoveries on loans and equity interests related to the claims it paid in respect of the insured notes issued by Zohar collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) 2003-1, Limited and Zohar II 2005-1 CDO (collectively, the “Zohar Recoveries”), and the exposure in its remaining insured portfolio, which could deteriorate and result in significant additional loss reserves and claim payments, including claims on insured exposures that in some cases may require large bullet payments. In addition, if we fail to maintain effective internal controls over entities (including any entities the Company controls, is affiliated with or exercises significant influence over as a result of the Zohar Recoveries or otherwise), this could result in failure to ensure that such entities comply with applicable laws.
The rehabilitator or liquidator wouldcould replace the Board of Directors of MBIA Insurance Corporation and take control of the operations and assets of MBIA Insurance Corporation, which would result in the Company losing control of MBIA Insurance Corporation and possible changes to MBIA Insurance Corporation’s strategies and management; and

On January 31, 2023, National entered into a restructuring support agreement (“PREPA RSA”) with the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. A plan of adjustment for PREPA (the "Plan") and related disclosure statement was filed on February 9, 2023. Subsequently, both the Plan and PREPA RSA were amended. The Title III Court conducted confirmation hearings in March 2024. On June 12, 2024, the First Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Swain's prior rulings and supported bondholder liens and claim amounts (the "Appeal Decision").

Following the Appeal Decision, the Oversight Board informed the Court, National and other parties that it intended to modify National’s settlement in a forthcoming amended Plan. Thereafter, National provided notice to the Oversight Board that National did not support the board's actions and that such actions constituted a breach and termination of the PREPA RSA, as amended. On January 29, 2025, the Court extended its litigation stay through March 24, 2025, and on March 3, 2025, the Court entered an order identifying key legal issues and requiring a joint proposed litigation schedule. On March 20, 2025, the Court set a briefing schedule on a motion for allowance of an administrative expense. On June 11, 2025, the Court set June 30, 2025, as the deadline for discovery, and July 23, 2025, for oral arguments in the administrative expense claim motion. Following the hearing, the Court reserved its decision on the legal issues and permitted the parties to continue resolution of discovery disputes. On August 8, 2025, the Court entered an order suspending deadlines for the Administrative Expense Claim until further order of the Court.

Bondholders filed their Motion to Compel on January 9, 2026, and the Oversight Board on January 23, 2026 filed its opposition. Bondholders filed their reply brief on February 6, 2026. There is no assurance that a plan that is substantially similar in the treatment of National's claims and rights will ultimately be confirmed and become effective. In the event of a substantially different confirmed plan, National’s PREPA loss reserves and recoveries could be materially adversely affected.
In July of 2025, National transferred certain PREPA bankruptcy claims to a custodian in exchange for tradeable custodial receipts (the "Custodial Receipts"). At the time of transfer, National owned the Custodial Receipts and continued to hold the same rights and was entitled to the same economic benefits associated with the transferred bankruptcy claims. In August of 2025, National sold the Custodial Receipts in a series of transactions through the transfer of ownership of approximately $374 million face amount of the Custodial Receipts, representing approximately 47% of the principal amount of National’s then current bond claims in the PREPA Title III case. This transaction reduced potential volatility and ongoing risk of remediation around National’s remaining PREPA exposure, for which the Title III case continues to remain uncertain and National continues to use its best efforts to strengthen its position. Subsequent to the sale of these Custodial Receipts, National does not retain any additional Custodial Receipts for sale. The sales price of the Custodial Receipts was higher than National's previous estimate, which resulted in National recording a gain included in "Losses and loss adjustment" on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. These sales also reduced National's "Insurance loss recoverable" related to PREPA on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. Refer to the following “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Segment - Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” section for additional information on the sales of our Custodial Receipts.

Between August 1 and August 8, 2025, President Trump notified six Oversight Board members that their membership on the Oversight Board was terminated effective immediately. On September 18, 2025, three of the terminated Oversight Board members, Arthur Gonzalez, Andrew Biggs and Betty Rosa (the "Plaintiffs") sought reinstatement on the Oversight Board by filing injunctive, declaratory and legal relief (the Termination Case"). On September 22, 2025, Plaintiffs also filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction seeking restrictions on replacing them on the Oversight Board until the Court hears the underlying merits of their claims. On October 3, 2025, the District Court for the District of Puerto Rico granted Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction permitting the Plaintiffs to remain on the Oversight Board until a final hearing on the adequacy of the termination notice as well as the scope of executive authority. On December 30, 2025, the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit entered an order holding the Termination Case in abeyance until the court is notified that the Supreme Court has issued a decision in the Trump v. Cook case, heard by the Supreme Court on January 21, 2026.

Zohar CDOs
Pursuant to a plan of liquidation that became effective in August of 2022, MBIA Corp.'s interest in the remaining collateral of the Zohar collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) 2003-1, Limited (“Zohar I”) and Zohar II 2005-1, Limited (“Zohar II”) (collectively, the "Zohar CDOs") was distributed to MBIA Corp. either directly or in the form of interests in certain asset recovery entities. Since then, MBIA Corp. has sought to monetize these interests through sales.

Due to the absence of retained earnings for MBIA Inc., the Company accounted for the dividend as a return of capital that was paid from additional paid-in capital on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Consolidated total expenses for 2025 included a losses and LAE benefit of $20 million compared with a losses and LAE expense of $184 million for 2024. The favorable change in losses and LAE was primarily due to our insured PREPA exposure. Refer to the following “Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” sections of the U.S. Public Finance Insurance and International and Structured Finance Insurance segments for additional information on our losses and LAE.
Consolidated total expenses for 2024 and 2023 included non-VIE interest expense of $208 million and $210 million, respectively, principally from MBIA Corp.'s surplus notes. Refer to the following “Interest Expense” section of the International and Structured Finance Insurance segment for additional information on MBIA Corp.'s surplus notes interest expense.

Refer to the following “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses” sections of the U.S. Public Finance Insurance and International and Structured Finance Insurance segments for additional information on our losses and LAE. Non-VIE operating expense decreased $18 million for 2024 compared with 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense.
As of December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, the Company’s valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.billion. Notwithstanding the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset, the Company believes that it may be able to use some of its net deferred tax asset before the expirations associated with that asset based upon expected earnings at National. Accordingly, the Company will continue to re-evaluate its net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis. There is no assurance that the Company will reverse any of its valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in the future. Refer to “Note 10: Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a further discussion of income taxes, including the valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset and its accounting for tax uncertainties.

Regarding its insured portfolio, Puerto Rico has been experiencing significant fiscal stress and constrained liquidity. Refer to the “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section for additional information on our PREPA exposure. In addition to Puerto Rico, some state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are experiencing financial and budgetary stress which could lead to an increase in defaults by such entities on the payment of their obligations and, while such stress has not yet occurred materially, losses or impairments on a greater number of the Company’s insured transactions. In particular, PREPA had been experiencing significant fiscal stress and constrained liquidity. Refer to the “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section for additional information on our PREPA exposures. We continue to monitor and analyze these situations and other stressed credits closely, and the overall extent and duration of stress affecting our insured credits remains uncertain.
National has contributed to the Company’s NOL carryforward, which is used in the calculation of our consolidated income taxes. If National generates taxable income in the future, it is not expected to make any tax payments under our tax sharing agreement until its NOL carryforward is fully utilized.
The following table presents our U.S. public finance insurance segment results for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:
NET PREMIUMS EARNED Net premiums earned on financial guarantees represent gross premiums earned net of premiums ceded to reinsurers and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. Refunding activity over the past several years has accelerated premium earnings in prior years and reduced the amount of scheduled premiums that would have been earned in the current year. Refunding activity can vary significantly from period to period based on issuer refinancing behavior. For 2025 and 2024, scheduled premiums earned were $23 million and $26 million, respectively, and refunded premiums earned were $2 million and $4 million, respectively.

LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES For 2025, the losses and LAE benefit was primarily due to the sale of PREPA Custodial Receipts at a price above prior estimates and updated scenarios and weightings for potential PREPA settlement outcomes. This benefit was partially offset by extending the estimated timing of a settlement on our PREPA exposure. For 2024, losses and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in PREPA reserves as a result of developments in the then PREPA remediation and extending the timing of a resolution.
NET REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES) The net realized investment losses for 2023 related to sales of securities from the ongoing management of our U.S. public finance investment portfolio, including to generate liquidity to pay dividends and claims.
NET GAINS (LOSSES) ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE For 2023, net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange were driven by fair value gains on investments for which the fair value option was elected primarily due to a decrease in interest rates.
OTHER NET REALIZED GAINS (LOSSES) For 2023, other net realized losses were primarily related to impairments of certain investments that were in an unrealized loss position and which we intended to sell before their values recovered to their amortized cost basis.
LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES For 2024, losses and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in PREPA reserves as a result of current developments in the PREPA remediation and extending the timing of a resolution. For 2023, losses and LAE incurred related to updating PREPA scenarios to reflect the then Amended Plan Support Agreement with PREPA and extending the timing of a resolution.
The insurance loss recoverable decreased from December 31, 2024 primarily due to the sale of PREPA Custodial Receipts associated with the transfer of certain of National's PREPA-related bankruptcy claims and the sale of unwrapped PREPA bonds received via subrogation for fully paid secondary insured claims. This decrease was partially offset by the reclassification from losses and LAE of expected recoveries related to paid claims for PREPA and a lease-backed transaction during 2025. The loss and LAE reserves decreased from December 31, 2024, primarily due to claim payments for PREPA and a lease-backed transaction, as well as due to updated PREPA loss reserve scenarios and weightings for possible settlement outcomes. This decrease was partially offset by the reclassification of expected recoveries related to paid claims, extending the estimated timing of a PREPA settlement, and accretion of loss reserves.
The changes to the insurance loss recoverable and loss and LAE reserves as of December 31, 2024 compared with December 31, 2023, were primarily due to PREPA as discussed above. In addition, the increase in loss and LAE reserves included reserves on a leased-back transaction and was partially offset by the January and July of 2024 PREPA claim payments.

Net premiums earned represent gross premiums earned net of premiums ceded to reinsurers,reinsurers and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. Certain premiums may be eliminated in our consolidated financial statements as a result of the Company consolidating VIEs. Net premiums earned were primarily related to non-U.S. exposures.

Based on the Company's filer status determination pursuant to Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2025, using the Company's public float as of that date and total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that it qualifies as a smaller reporting company and a non-accelerated filer. As a result, the Company will be subject to the applicable reporting requirements for these classifications, including eligibility for scaled disclosure requirements, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and an extended filing timeline for certain reports. This change in filer status iswas effective beginning with thisour Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026.

Recent indicators suggest that U.S. economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace.pace despite elevated uncertainty, in part, due to the conflict in the Middle East. The unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months and job gains have remainedkept low.pace with the workforce. Inflation remains elevated. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) seeks to achieve maximum employment and 2% inflation over the longer run,run and has noted that uncertainty around the U.S. economic outlook remains elevated and developments in the Middle East are contributing to this uncertainty. Atat its most recent meeting, the FOMC maintained its federal funds rate target range at 3.50% to 3.75%. Economic and financial market trends could impact the Company’s financial results. Economic improvement at the state and local level strengthens the credit quality of the issuers of our insured municipal bonds, improves the performance of our insured U.S. public finance portfolio and could reduce the amount of National’s potential incurred losses. Higher interest rates could adversely affect the values of our investment portfolio, but increase investment portfolio yield and income, and decrease the present value of loss reserves. Lower interest rates could adversely affect investment portfolio yields and income, but increase the values of our Company’s investment portfolio. Lower interest rates could also adversely affect the present value of loss reserves.

OVERVIEW (continued)
Between August 1 and August 8, 2025, President Trump notified six Oversight Board members that their membership on the Oversight Board was terminated effective immediately. On September 18, 2025, three of the terminated Oversight Board members, Arthur Gonzalez, Andrew Biggs and Betty Rosa (the "Plaintiffs") sought reinstatement on the Oversight Board by filing injunctive, declaratory and legal relief (the "Termination Case"). On September 22, 2025, Plaintiffs also filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction seeking restrictions on replacing them on the Oversight Board until the Court hears the underlying merits of their claims. On October 3, 2025, the District Court for the District of Puerto Rico granted Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction permitting the Plaintiffs to remain on the Oversight Board until a final hearing on the adequacy of the termination notice as well as the scope of executive authority. On December 30, 2025, the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit entered an order holding the Termination Case in abeyance until the court is notified that the Supreme Court has issued a decision in the Trump v. Cook case, heard by the Supreme Court on January 21, 2026. Following the issuance of the Cook and Slaughter decisions on June 29, 2026, the First Circuit requested the parties file motions in respect of further proceedings in the case by July 31, 2026. Motions were filed on July 31, 2026.
In July of 2026, National transferred approximately $30 million of PREPA bankruptcy claims to a custodian in exchange for tradeable custodial receipts (the "Custodial Receipts"). As owner of the Custodial Receipts, National continues to hold the same rights and is entitled to the same economic benefits associated with the transferred bankruptcy claims. As a result, the Company's estimated recovery values for these bankruptcy claims will be recorded within "Insurance loss recoverable" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. National may, at its discretion, sell such Custodial Receipts to qualified buyers prior to a PREPA bankruptcy settlement in order to monetize subrogation of the related bankruptcy claims.
The following table presents a summary of our consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025:
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Income (loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes The increase in consolidated total revenues for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 was principally due to favorable changes in foreign currency and net realized investment losses from sales of investments,currency, partially offset by unfavorable changes in revenues from consolidatedfair variablevaluing interest entities ("VIEs").investments. The three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 included foreign currency gains of $2$1 million related to gains on euro-denominated liabilities due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro in 2026. The three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 included net foreign currency losses of $12$9 million primarily related to the reclassification of foreign currency translation losses from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to net income (loss) due to the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary and losses on euro-denominated liabilities due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro in 2025. The three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 also2026 included $2 million of gains from fair valuing investments compared with $5 million of net realized investment losses from the sales of investments with no comparable amountgains for the same period of 2026. Consolidated VIE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a gain of $7 million with no comparable amount for the same period of 2026. Consolidated VIE revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily related to a gain from a litigation trust we consolidated as a VIE.2025.
Consolidated total expenses for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 included a losses and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) benefitexpense of $3$9 million compared with losses and LAE expense of $8 million for the same period of 2025. The favorable change in losses and LAE was primarily due to a decrease in losses on our insured first-lien residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") exposure primarily related to the impact of changes in risk-free interest rates used to present value loss reserves. This was partially offset by an increase in losses and LAE on our PREPA exposure. Refer to the following “Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” sections of the U.S. Public Finance Insurance and International and Structured Finance Insurance segments for additional information on our losses and LAE. In addition, expenses of our consolidated VIEs decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 primarily due to an $8 million reversal of previously recognized legal expenses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Income (loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes The increase in consolidated total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 was principally due to favorable changes in foreign currency and net realized investment losses from sales of investments, partially offset by unfavorable changes in revenues from consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The six months ended June 30, 2026 included foreign currency gains of $3 million on euro-denominated liabilities due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro in 2026. The six months ended June 30, 2025 included net foreign currency losses of $13 million on euro-denominated liabilities due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro in 2025 and foreign currency translation losses of $5 million reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to net income (loss) due to the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary.

Consolidated VIE revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily related to a gain from a litigation trust we consolidated as a VIE.
Consolidated total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 included $6 million of losses and LAE compared with $16 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease in losses and LAE was primarily due to favorable changes on our insured first-lien residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") exposure primarily related to the impact of changes in risk-free interest rates used to present value loss reserves. Refer to the following “Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” sections of the U.S. Public Finance Insurance and International and Structured Finance Insurance segments for additional information on our losses and LAE. In addition, expenses of our consolidated VIEs decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same period of 2025 primarily due to an $8 million reversal of previously recognized legal expenses.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 vs. Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, our effective tax rate applied to our loss before income taxes was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to the full valuation allowance on the changes in our net deferred tax asset, which included our net operating loss (“NOL”).
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset was $1.4 billion. Notwithstanding the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset, the Company believes that it may be able to use some of its net deferred tax asset before the expirations associated with that asset based upon expected earnings at National. Accordingly, the Company will continue to re-evaluate its net deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis. There is no assurance that the Company will reverse any of its valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in the future. Refer to “Note 8: Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes, including the valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset and its accounting for tax uncertainties.

Our U.S. public finance insurance portfolio is managed through National. The financial guarantees issued by National provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, insured obligations when due or, in the event National has exercised, at its discretion, the right to accelerate the payment under its policies upon the acceleration of the underlying insured obligations due to default or otherwise. National’s guarantees insure municipal bonds, including tax-exempt and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utility districts, airports, healthcare institutions, higher educational facilities, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. Municipal bonds and privately issued bonds used for the financing of public purpose projects are generally supported by taxes, assessments, user fees or tariffs related to the use of these projects, lease payments or other similar types of revenue streams. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, National had total insured gross par outstanding of $21.5$20.8 billion.
The following table presents our U.S. public finance insurance segment results for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025:
NET PREMIUMS EARNED Net premiums earned on financial guarantees represent gross premiums earned net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and include scheduled premium earnings and premium earnings from refunded issues. Refunding activity over the past several years has accelerated premium earnings in prior years and reduced the amount of scheduled premiums that would have been earned in the current year. Refunding activity can vary significantly from period to period based on issuer refinancing behavior. ForIncluded in net premiums earned for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, were scheduled premiums earned wasof $6$5 million and refunded$6 million, respectively.

NET REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES) Net realized investment losses for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 primarily related to sales of securities from the ongoing management of our U.S. public finance investment portfolio, including to generate liquidity to pay claims.
LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, losslosses and LAE activityincurred was primarily related to our PREPA exposure, which was driven by LAE and the accretion of net reserves and LAE,reserves, partially offset by an increase in risk-free discount rates, which caused loss reserves, net of recoveries, to decline. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, losses and LAE incurred was primarily due to extending the timing of a settlement on our PREPA exposure. Refer to the following “U.S. Public Finance Insurance Puerto Rico Exposures” section for additional information on our PREPA exposures.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, loss and LAE activity was primarily related to our PREPA exposure, which was driven by accretion of net reserves and a decline in risk-free discount rates, which caused loss reserves, net of recoveries, to increase.
The following table presents information about our U.S. public finance insurance loss recoverable asset and loss and LAE reserves liabilities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
The insuranceInsurance loss recoverable as of June 30, 2026 increased compared with December 31, 2025 primarily asdue a result ofto reclassifying recoveries from loss and LAE reserve as a result of claims paid on a lease-backed transaction, partially offset by recovery collections. The lossLoss and LAE reserves as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 decreased compared with December 31, 2025 primarily due to January 2026 PREPA claim payments and an increase in risk-free rates, partially offset by accretion related to PREPA.

OPERATING EXPENSES Our U.S. public finance insurance segment's operating expenses primarily consist of inter-segment service charge from the corporate segment for support services. For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, the inter-segment service charge was $9$7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the inter-segment service charge was $16 million and $10$17 million, respectively.
The following table presents the credit quality distribution of National’s U.S. public finance outstanding gross par insured as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Capital appreciation bonds are reported at the par amount at the time of issuance of the insurance policy. All ratings are as of the period presented and represent S&P underlying ratings, where available. If transactions are not rated by S&P, a Moody’s equivalent rating is used.

As a result of prior defaults, various stays and the Title III cases, Puerto Rico failed to make certain scheduled debt service payments for National insured bonds. As a consequence, National has paid gross claims in the aggregate amount of $3.2 billion relating to GO, PBA, PREPA and HTA bonds through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, inclusive of the commutation payment and the additional payment in the amount of $66 million in 2019 related to COFINA and the GO and HTA acceleration and commutation payments of $277 million and $556 million, respectively, in 2022.
On June 23, 2023, the Oversight Board filed a fiscal plan for PREPA for fiscal year 2023, which provided for approximately $2.4 billion of distributions to PREPA bondholders. The University of Puerto Rico (the "University") is not a debtor in Title III and continues to be current on its debt service payments. A standstill agreement with certain bondholders was replaced by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement during 2025 that cured the remaining technical defaults and implemented monthly sinking-fund payments. National is not a party to the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, National had $45 million of insured debt service outstanding related to the University.
On January 31, 2023, National entered into the PREPA RSA with the Oversight Board, on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. The Plan and related disclosure statement was filed on February 9, 2023. Subsequently, both the Plan and PREPA RSA were amended. The Title III Court conducted confirmation hearings in March 2024. On June 12, 2024, following the Appeal Decision affirming the Bondholder liens, the Oversight Board informed the Court that it intended to file an amendment to the Plan it believed would account for the changes required by the First Circuit opinion. Thereafter, National provided notice to the Oversight Board that National did not support the board's actions and that such actions constituted a breach and termination of the PREPA RSA, as amended. On June 26, 2024, the Oversight Board filed a petition for a First Circuit panel rehearing, and the UCC filed an en banc appeal. On November 13, 2024, the First Circuit affirmed its decision. On November 27, 2024, the Oversight Board filed a petition for further rehearing, and on December 31, 2024, the First Circuit denied the rehearing request. On January 29, 2025, the Court extended its litigation stay through March 24, 2025, and on March 3, 2025, entered an order identifying key legal issues and requiring a joint proposed litigation schedule. On March 20, 2025, the Court set a briefing schedule on a Motion for Allowance of an Administrative Expense Claim (the "Administrative Claim Motion"). On June 11, 2025, the Court set June 30, 2025, as the deadline for discovery, and July 23, 2025, for oral arguments in the Administrative Claim Motion. Following the hearing, the Court reserved its decision on the legal issues and permitted the parties to continue resolution of discovery disputes. On August 8, 2025, the Court entered an order suspending deadlines for the Administrative Claim Motion until further order of the Court. On October 22, 2025, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer on scheduling issues in the Administrative Claim Motion litigation and required they file a Joint Status Report by November 24, 2025. Following the filing of the Joint Status Report, the Court entered an order dated December 9, 2025, lifting the litigation stay to permit the parties to litigate motions to compel solely in connection with the Administrative Claim Motion. Bondholders filed their Motion to Compel on January 9, 2026 and the Oversight Board on January 23, 2026, filed its opposition. Bondholders filed their reply brief on February 6, 2026. On March 16, 2026, the Court denied Bondholders' Motion for Allowance of an Administrative Expense Claim. Bondholders filed a notice of appeal on March 27, 2026 to the First Circuit Court of Appeals. On May 14, 2026, the Bondholders filed their appellate briefs. On May 21, 2026, thirteen U.S. States filed a combined Amici Curiae brief in support of the Bondholders' appeal. On July 10, 2026, the Oversight Board filed its appellate brief. Reply briefs were filed on July 31, 2026. On April 13, 2026, the Court entered an order lifting the litigation stay solely to permit Bondholders to prosecute their accounting counterclaim motion. On April 17, 2026, the Bondholders filed their revised motion and on April 28, 2026, the Oversight Board filed its answer. The parties are currently in the process of discovery on the accounting counterclaim. On June 30, 2026, the Oversight Board issued a media release outlining a settlement proposed to Bondholders offering $3 billion to current non-settling Bondholders, comprised of cash or issuance of new bonds, or a combination, or approximately 35% on Bondholders’ claims. In addition, the Oversight Board offered to negotiate a contingent value instrument based on actual increases of PREPA’s net cash flow from volumes of power sold above the projections of the 2025 PREPA Fiscal Plan. The Coop Group of Bondholders subsequently rejected the proposal.
Between August 1 and August 8, 2025, President Trump notified six Oversight Board members that their membership on the Oversight Board was terminated effective immediately. On September 18, 2025, the Plaintiffs sought reinstatement on the Oversight Board by filing injunctive, declaratory and legal relief. On September 22, 2025, Plaintiffs also filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction seeking restrictions on replacing them on the Oversight Board until the Court hears the underlying merits of their claims. On October 3, 2025, the District Court for the District of Puerto Rico granted Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction permitting the Plaintiffs to remain on the Oversight Board until a final hearing on the adequacy of the termination notice as well as the scope of executive authority. On December 30, 2025, the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit entered an order holding the Termination Case in abeyance until the court is notified that the Supreme Court has issued a decision in the Trump v. Cook case, heard by the Supreme Court on January 21, 2026. Following the issuance of the Cook and Slaughter decisions on June 29, 2026, the First Circuit requested the parties file motions in respect of further proceedings in the case no later than July 31, 2026. Motions were filed on July 31, 2026.

The insurance loss recoverable primarily relates to reimbursement rights arising from the payment of claims on MBIA Corp.’s policies insuring certain RMBS transactions. Such payments also entitle MBIA Corp. to exercise certain rights and remedies to seek recovery of its reimbursement entitlements. The decrease in lossLoss and LAE reserves fromas of June 30, 2026 decreased compared with December 31, 2025 primarily relateddue to an increase in risk-free rates used to discount loss reserves, which reduced the present value of loss reserves, net of recoveries, and payments on our insured RMBS reserves.
