MGIC Investment Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results
Net Income $113.7 million
Diluted Net Income Per Share $0.28
MILWAUKEE (July 16, 2015) - MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE:MTG) today reported operating
and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $113.7 million, compared with a net income
of $45.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted net income per share was $0.28 for the
quarter ending June 30, 2015, compared to diluted net income per share of $0.12 for the same
quarter a year ago.
Patrick Sinks, CEO of MTG and Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC), said, I am
pleased to report that in the second quarter of 2015 the company continued to grow our insurance in
force by adding another $11.8 billion of high quality new insurance. Sinks added, At the same
time, I am encouraged by the positive trends we continue to experience on pre-2009 business
relative to new delinquent notices, paid claims, and the declining delinquent inventory. The
combination of profitable new business, the continued runoff of the older books, and a strengthened
housing market, positions us well to provide credit enhancement solutions to our customers now and
in the future.

1) preliminary as of June 30, 2015, 2) insurance operations
Total revenues for the second quarter were $243.1 million, compared with $231.2 million for
the same quarter last year. Net premiums written for the quarter were $226.8 million, compared with
$213.4 million for the same quarter last year.
New insurance written in the second quarter was $11.8 billion, compared to $8.3 billion for
the same quarter last year. Persistency, or the percentage of insurance remaining in force from one
year prior, was 80.4 percent at June 30, 2015, compared with 82.8 percent at December 31, 2014, and
82.4 percent at June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2015, MGICs primary insurance in force was $168.8 billion, compared with
$164.9 billion at December 31, 2014, and $159.3 billion at June 30, 2014. The fair value of the
investment portfolio, cash and cash equivalents was $4.8 billion at June 30, 2015, compared with
$4.8 billion at December 31, 2014, and $5.0 billion at June 30, 2014.
At June 30, 2015, the percentage of loans that were delinquent, excluding bulk loans, was 5.48
percent, compared with 6.65 percent at December 31, 2014, and 7.30 percent at June 30, 2014.
Including bulk loans, the percentage of loans that were delinquent at June 30, 2015 was 6.78
percent, compared to 8.25 percent at December 31, 2014, and 8.98 percent at June 30, 2014.
Losses incurred in the second quarter were $90.2 million, compared to $141.1 million in the
second quarter of 2014. The decrease in losses incurred is primarily a result of fewer new
delinquency notices received and a lower claim rate on new notices. Net underwriting and other
expenses were $37.9 million in the second quarter, compared to $33.9 million reported for the same
period last year; the increase was primarily a result of employee costs.
Outlook
For the full year of 2015 MGIC expects that new insurance written will exceed the level
written in 2014, however, the year over year percentage increase, as measured on a quarterly basis,
is expected to be lower in the second half of 2015 when compared to the first half of 2015. For
the full year annual persistency is forecasted to be 80-85%. The number of loans in the delinquent
inventory is expected to continue to decline modestly and the claim rate applied to new delinquent
notices is expected to gradually decrease throughout the balance of the year. The underwriting
expense ratio is expected to stay relatively stable for the second half of 2015. MGIC expects that
it will be in compliance with PMIERS when they become effective at December 31, 2015.

provides useful information to investors because it shows the after-tax effect of these items,
which can be discretionary.

Due to the establishment of a valuation allowance, income taxes provided are not currently
affected by realized gains or losses. |

Note: The FICO credit score for a loan with multiple borrowers is the lowest of the borrowers
decision FICO scores. A borrowers decision FICO score is determined as follows: if there are
three FICO scores available, the middle FICO score is used; if two FICO scores are available, the
lower of the two is used; if only one FICO score is available, it is used.
Note: The results of our operations in Australia are included in the financial statements in this
document but the additional information in this document does not include our Australian
operations, unless otherwise noted, which are immaterial.
Note: Average claim paid may vary from period to period due to amounts associated with mitigation
efforts.

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. MGIC also understands that the GSEs
terminated their doc waiver programs in the second half of 2008. Reduced documentation
loans only appear in the reduced documentation category and do not appear in any of the other
categories. |

As of June 30, 2015, rescissions of coverage on approximately 430 loans had been voluntarily
suspended, as we believed those loans could be covered by a settlement. |

|
Refer to our risk factor titled We are involved in legal proceedings and are subject to the
risk of additional legal proceedings in the future for information about our rescission
settlements. |

Q4 2014 and Q2 2015 excludes items associated with rescission settlements. |
Risk Factors
As used below, we, our and us refer to MGIC Investment Corporations consolidated operations
or to MGIC Investment Corporation, as the context requires; MGIC refers to Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Corporation; and MIC refers to MGIC Indemnity Corporation.
We may not continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer eligibility requirements and our returns may
decrease as we are required to maintain more capital in order to maintain our eligibility.
Since 2008, substantially all of our insurance written has been for loans sold to Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac (the GSEs). In April 2015, the GSEs each released revised private mortgage insurer
eligibility requirements (the PMIERs) that become effective December 31, 2015. The PMIERs include
revised financial requirements for mortgage insurers (the GSE Financial Requirements) under which
a mortgage insurers Available Assets (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) must
meet or exceed Minimum Required Assets (which are based on an insurers book and are calculated
from tables of factors with several risk dimensions and are subject to a floor amount).
We expect that MGIC will be in compliance with the PMIERs, including the GSE Financial
Requirements, when they become effective. This expectation is based on our interpretation of the
GSE Financial Requirements and assumes that the risk in force and assets of MGICs MIC subsidiary
will be repatriated to MGIC and that we will receive substantially all of the benefit available
under the PMIERs for our existing reinsurance transaction, upon the effectiveness of its
restructure, which has been agreed between MGIC and the reinsurers, subject to final documentation.
The effectiveness of the restructured transaction is subject to approval by the GSEs and the Office
of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin (OCI). Although it has not yet been
approved, neither the GSEs nor the OCI has raised material objections to the restructured
transaction.
If additional Available Assets are required, we believe that a portion of our holding companys
$463 million of cash and investments at June 30, 2015, may be available for future contribution to
MGIC.
Factors that may negatively impact MGICs ability to comply with the GSE Financial Requirements
before their effective date include the following:
|
|
|
The GSEs may not approve our restructured reinsurance transaction or they may not allow
the amount of benefit we expect under the GSE Financial Requirements. |
|
|
|
We may not obtain regulatory authorization to transfer assets from MIC to MGIC to the
extent we are assuming because regulators project higher losses than we project or require
a level of capital be maintained in MIC higher than we are assuming. |
|
|
|
MGIC may not receive additional capital contributions from our holding company due to
competing demands on the holding company resources, including for repayment of debt. |
|
|
|
Our future operating results may be negatively impacted by the matters discussed in the
rest of these risk factors. Such matters could decrease our revenues, increase our losses
or require the use of assets, thereby increasing our shortfall in Available Assets. |
There can be no assurance that the GSEs will not make the GSE Financial Requirements more onerous
in the future; in this regard, the PMIERs provide that the tables of factors that determine Minimum
Required Assets will be updated every two years and may be updated more frequently to reflect
changes in macroeconomic conditions or loan performance. The GSEs will provide notice 180 days
prior to the effective date of table updates. In addition, the GSEs may amend the PMIERs at any
time. If MGIC ceases to be eligible to insure loans purchased by one or both of the GSEs, it would
significantly reduce the volume of our new business writings.
While on an overall basis, the amount of Available Assets we must hold in order to continue to
insure GSE loans has increased under the PMIERs over what state regulation currently provides,
reinsurance is one option we have to mitigate the effect of PMIERs on our returns. In this regard,
see the first bullet point above.
The amount of insurance we write could be adversely affected if lenders and investors select
alternatives to private mortgage insurance.
Alternatives to private mortgage insurance include:
|
|
|
lenders using government mortgage insurance programs, including those of the FHA and VA, |
|
|
|
lenders and other investors holding mortgages in portfolio and self-insuring, |
|
|
|
investors (including the GSEs) using risk mitigation techniques other than private
mortgage insurance, such as obtaining insurance from non-mortgage insurers and engaging in
credit-linked note transactions executed in the capital markets; using other risk
mitigation techniques in conjunction with reduced levels of private mortgage insurance
coverage; or accepting credit risk without credit enhancement, 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. |
In the first quarter of 2015, the FHA accounted for 33.1% of all low down payment residential
mortgages that were subject to FHA, VA or primary private mortgage insurance, up from 31.8% in the
fourth quarter of 2014. In the past ten years, the FHAs share has been as low as 15.6% in 2006 and
as high as 70.8% in 2009. Factors that influence the FHAs market share include relative
underwriting guidelines, loan limits, and rates and fees of the FHA, VA, private mortgage insurers
and the GSEs; flexibility for the FHA to establish new products as a result of federal legislation
and programs; returns obtained by lenders for Ginnie Mae securitization of FHA-insured loans
compared to those obtained from selling loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac for securitization; and
differences in policy terms, such as the ability of a borrower to cancel insurance coverage under
certain circumstances. We cannot predict how these factors or the FHAs share of new insurance
written will change in the future. In January 2015, the FHA significantly reduced its annual
mortgage insurance premiums. Absent any other changes, the reduction in FHA premiums will make
private mortgage insurance less competitive with the FHA for borrowers with certain credit
characteristics. However, we believe our pricing continues to be more attractive than the FHAs
pricing for a substantial majority of borrowers with credit and loan characteristics similar to
those whose loans we insured in 2014.
In the first quarter of 2015, the VA accounted for 30.4% of all low down payment residential
mortgages that were subject to FHA, VA or primary private mortgage insurance, its highest level in
ten years and up from 29.1% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The VAs lowest market share in the past
ten years was 5.4% in 2007. We believe that the VAs market share has been increasing because the
VA offers 100% LTV loans and charges a one-time funding fee that can be included in the loan amount
but no additional monthly expense, and because of an increase in the number of borrowers that are
eligible for the VAs program.
Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our revenues, reduce
our premium yields and/or increase our losses.
Our private mortgage insurance competitors include:
|
|
|
Arch Mortgage Insurance Company, |
|
|
|
Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, |
|
|
|
National Mortgage Insurance Corporation, |
|
|
|
Radian Guaranty Inc., and |
|
|
|
United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company. |
The level of competition within the private mortgage insurance industry is intense and is not
expected to diminish. Price competition has been present for some time: in the third quarter of
2014, we reduced many of our standard lender-paid single premium rates to match competition; and in
the fourth quarter of 2013, we reduced all of our standard borrower-paid monthly premium rates and
most of our standard single premium rates to match competition. Currently, we are seeing price
competition in the form of lender-paid single premium programs customized for individual lenders by
using a rate cards authority to set premiums or adjust premiums on individual loans within a range
of premiums. This has resulted in rates materially discounted from those on the standard rate card
(i.e., one that does not use such authority). In June 2015, the OCI issued letters to mortgage
insurers inquiring about their discounted lender paid mortgage insurance practices. During most of
2013, when almost all of our lender-paid single premium rates were above those most commonly used
in the market, lender-paid single premium policies were approximately 4% of our total new insurance
written; they were approximately 11% in 2014, 20% in the first quarter of 2015 and 17% in the
second quarter of 2015. The increases compared to 2014 were primarily a result of us selectively
matching reduced rates. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2014, we did not use our rate cards
authority to adjust premiums to offer significant discounts from our standard lender-paid single
premium policy rate card. The average discount from our rate card on lender-paid single premium
policies was 5% in the fourth quarter of 2014, 13% in the first quarter of 2015 and 11% in the
second quarter of 2015. Given the current pricing environment, an increase in the percentage of
business written as lender-paid single premium policies, all other things equal, will decrease our
weighted average premium rates on new insurance written. If we reduce or discount prices on any
premium plan in response to future price competition, all other things equal, it will decrease our
weighted average premium rates.
On June 30, 2015, the GSEs announced a modification to the PMIERs that will increase the Minimum
Required Assets that must be maintained by a private mortgage insurer for loans dated on or after
January 1, 2016, that are insured under lender-paid mortgage insurance policies or other policies
that are not subject to automatic termination under the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) or an
automatic termination consistent with HPAs termination requirements for borrower-paid mortgage
insurance. The modification may reduce our future returns because we will be required to maintain
more Available Assets in connection with a portion of our business.
During 2014 and the first half of 2015, approximately 4% and 5%, respectively, of our new insurance
written was for loans for which one lender was the original insured. Our relationships with our
customers could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including premium rates higher than
can be obtained from competitors, tightening of and adherence to our underwriting requirements,
which may result in our declining to insure some of the loans originated by our customers, and
insurance rescissions that affect the customer. We have ongoing discussions with lenders who are
significant customers regarding their objections to our rescissions.
In the past several years, we believe many lenders considered financial strength and compliance
with the State Capital Requirements as important factors when selecting a mortgage insurer. Lenders
may consider compliance with the GSE Financial Requirements important when selecting a mortgage
insurer in the future. As noted above, we expect MGIC to be in compliance with the GSE Financial
Requirements when they become effective and we expect MGICs risk-to-capital ratio to continue to
comply with the current State Capital Requirements discussed below. However, we cannot assure you
that we will comply with such requirements or that we will comply with any revised State Capital
Requirements proposed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). For more
information, see our risk factors titled We may not continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer
eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease as we are required to maintain more capital
in order to maintain our eligibility and State capital requirements may prevent us from
continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis.
We believe that financial strength ratings may be a significant consideration for participants
seeking to secure credit enhancement in the non-GSE mortgage market, which includes most loans that
are not Qualified Mortgages (for more information about Qualified Mortgages, see our risk
factor titled Changes in the business practices of the GSEs, federal legislation that changes
their charters or a restructuring of the GSEs could reduce our revenues or increase our losses).
While this market has been limited since the financial crisis, it may grow in the future. The
financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries are lower than those of some competitors
and below investment grade levels; therefore, we may be competitively disadvantaged with some
market participants. For each of MGIC and MIC, the financial strength rating from Moodys is Ba1
(with a positive outlook) and from Standard & Poors is BB+ (with a positive outlook). It is
possible that MGICs and MICs financial strength ratings could decline from these levels. Our
ability to participate in the non-GSE market could depend on our ability to secure investment grade
ratings for our mortgage insurance subsidiaries.
If the GSEs no longer operate in their current capacities, for example, due to legislative or
regulatory action, we may be forced to compete in a new marketplace in which financial strength
ratings play a greater role. If we are unable to compete effectively in the current or any future
markets as a result of the financial strength ratings assigned to our mortgage insurance
subsidiaries, our future new insurance written could be negatively affected.
Changes in the business practices of the GSEs, federal legislation that changes their charters or a
restructuring of the GSEs could reduce our revenues or increase our losses.
Since 2008, substantially all of our insurance written has been for loans sold to Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac. The business practices of the GSEs affect the entire relationship between them,
lenders and mortgage insurers and include:
|
|
|
the level of private mortgage insurance coverage, subject to the limitations of the
GSEs charters (which may be changed by federal legislation), when private mortgage
insurance is used as the required credit enhancement on low down payment mortgages, |
|
|
|
the amount of loan level price adjustments and guaranty fees (which result in higher
costs to borrowers) that the GSEs assess on loans that require mortgage insurance, |
|
|
|
whether the GSEs 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 the
GSEs, which can 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, |
|
|
|
the programs established by the GSEs intended to avoid or mitigate loss on insured
mortgages and the circumstances in which mortgage servicers must implement such programs, |
|
|
|
the terms that the GSEs require to be included in mortgage insurance policies for loans
that they purchase, |
|
|
|
the extent to which the GSEs intervene in mortgage insurers rescission practices or
rescission settlement practices with lenders. For additional information, see our risk
factor titled We are involved in legal proceedings and are subject to the risk of
additional legal proceedings in the future, and |
|
|
|
the maximum loan limits of the GSEs in comparison to those of the FHA and other
investors. |
The FHFA is the conservator of the GSEs and has the authority to control and direct their
operations. The increased role that the federal government has assumed in the residential housing
finance system through the GSE conservatorship may increase the likelihood that the business
practices of the GSEs change in ways that have a material adverse effect on us and that the
charters of the GSEs are changed by new federal legislation. The financial reform legislation that
was passed in July 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act or Dodd-Frank) required the U.S. Department of the
Treasury to report its recommendations regarding options for ending the conservatorship of the
GSEs. This report did not provide any definitive timeline for GSE reform; however, it did recommend
using a combination of federal housing policy changes to wind down the GSEs, shrink the
governments footprint in housing finance (including FHA insurance), and help bring private capital
back to the mortgage market. Since then, Members of Congress introduced several bills intended to
change the business practices of the GSEs and the FHA; however, no legislation has been enacted. As
a result of the matters referred to above, it is uncertain what role the GSEs, FHA and private
capital, including private mortgage insurance, will play in the residential housing finance system
in the future or the impact of any such changes on our business. In addition, the timing of the
impact of any resulting changes on our business is uncertain. Most meaningful changes would require
Congressional action to implement and it is difficult to estimate when Congressional action would
be final and how long any associated phase-in period may last.
Dodd-Frank requires lenders to consider a borrowers ability to repay a home loan before extending
credit. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rule defining Qualified Mortgage (QM)
for purposes of implementing the ability to repay law became effective in January 2014 and
included a temporary category of QMs for mortgages that satisfy the general product feature
requirements of QMs and meet the GSEs underwriting requirements (the temporary category). The
temporary category will phase out when the GSEs conservatorship ends, or if sooner, on January 21,
2021.
Dodd-Frank requires a securitizer to retain at least 5% of the risk associated with mortgage loans
that are securitized, and in some cases the retained risk may be allocated between the securitizer
and the lender that originated the loan. The final rule implementing that requirement will become
effective on December 24, 2015 for asset-backed securities collateralized by residential mortgages.
The final rule exempts securitizations of qualified residential mortgages (QRMs) from the risk
retention requirement and generally aligns the QRM definition with that of QM. Because there is a
temporary category of QMs for mortgages that satisfy the general product feature requirements of
QMs and meet the GSEs underwriting requirements, lenders that originate loans that are sold to the
GSEs while they are in conservatorship would not be required to retain risk associated with those
loans. The final rule requires the agencies to review the QRM definition no later than four years
after its effective date and every five years thereafter, and allows each agency to request a
review of the definition at any time.
We estimate that for our new risk written in 2014 and the first half of 2015, 83% and 85%,
respectively, was for loans that would have met the CFPBs general QM definition and, therefore,
the QRM definition. We estimate that approximately 99% of our new risk written in each of 2014 and
the first half of 2015, was for loans that would have met the temporary category in CFPBs QM
definition. Changes in the treatment of GSE-guaranteed mortgage loans in the regulations defining
QM and QRM, or changes in the conservatorship or capital support provided to the GSEs by the U.S.
Government, could impact the manner in which the risk-retention rules apply to GSE securitizations,
originators who sell loans to GSEs and our business.
The GSEs have different loan purchase programs that allow different levels of mortgage insurance
coverage. Under the charter coverage program, on certain loans lenders may choose a mortgage
insurance coverage percentage that is less than the GSEs standard coverage and only the minimum
required by the GSEs charters, with the GSEs paying a lower price for such loans. In 2014 and the
first half of 2015, nearly all of our volume was on loans with GSE standard or higher coverage. We
charge higher premium rates for higher coverage percentages. To the extent lenders selling loans to
the GSEs in the future choose lower coverage for loans that we insure, our revenues would be
reduced and we could experience other adverse effects.
The benefit of our net operating loss carryforwards may become substantially limited.
As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $2.2 billion of net operating losses for tax purposes
that we can use in certain circumstances to offset future taxable income and thus reduce our
federal income tax liability. Our ability to utilize these net operating losses to offset future
taxable income may be significantly limited if we experience an ownership change as defined in
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). In general, an ownership
change will occur if there is a cumulative change in our ownership by 5-percent shareholders (as
defined in the Code) that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. A
corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation
on the corporations subsequent use of net operating loss carryovers that arose from pre-ownership
change periods and use of losses that are subsequently recognized with respect to assets that had a
built-in-loss on the date of the ownership change. The amount of the annual limitation generally
equals the fair value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change multiplied by the
long-term tax-exempt interest rate (subject to certain adjustments). To the extent that the
limitation in a post-ownership-change year is not fully utilized, the amount of the limitation for
the succeeding year will be increased.
While we have adopted a shareholder rights agreement to minimize the likelihood of transactions in
our stock resulting in an ownership change, future issuances of equity-linked securities or
transactions in our stock and equity-linked securities that may not be within our control may cause
us to experience an ownership change. If we experience an ownership change, we may not be able to
fully utilize our net operating losses, resulting in additional income taxes and a reduction in our
shareholders equity.
We are involved in legal proceedings and are subject to the risk of additional legal proceedings in
the future.
Before paying a claim, we review the loan and servicing files to determine the appropriateness of
the claim amount. All of our insurance policies provide that we can reduce or deny a claim if the
servicer did not comply with its obligations under our insurance policy, including the requirement
to mitigate our loss by performing reasonable loss mitigation efforts or, for example, diligently
pursuing a foreclosure or bankruptcy relief in a timely manner. We call such reduction of claims
submitted to us curtailments. In 2014 and the first half of 2015, curtailments reduced our
average claim paid by approximately 6.7% and 7.4%, respectively. After we pay a claim, servicers
and insureds sometimes object to our curtailments and other adjustments. We review these objections
if they are sent to us within 90 days after the claim was paid.
When reviewing the loan file associated with a claim, we may determine that we have the right to
rescind coverage on the loan. In recent quarters, approximately 5% of claims received in a quarter
have been resolved by rescissions, down from the peak of approximately 28% in the first half of
2009. We estimate rescissions mitigated our incurred losses by approximately $2.5 billion in 2009
and $0.2 billion in 2010 and have not significantly mitigated our incurred losses since then. Our
loss reserving methodology incorporates our estimates of future rescissions and reversals of
rescissions. Historically, reversals of rescissions have been immaterial. A variance between
ultimate actual rescission and reversal rates and our estimates, as a result of the outcome of
litigation, settlements or other factors, could materially affect our losses.
If the insured disputes our right to rescind coverage, we generally engage in discussions in an
attempt to settle the dispute. As part of those discussions, we may voluntarily suspend rescissions
we believe may be part of a settlement. Certain settlements require GSE approval. The GSEs have
consented to our settlement agreements with two customers, one of which is Countrywide, as
discussed below, and have rejected other settlement agreements. We have reached and implemented
settlement agreements that do not require GSE approval, but they have not been material in the
aggregate.
If we are unable to reach a settlement, the outcome of a dispute ultimately would be determined by
legal proceedings. Under our policies in effect prior to October 1, 2014, legal proceedings
disputing our right to rescind coverage may be brought up to three years after the lender has
obtained title to the property (typically through a foreclosure) or the property was sold in a sale
that we approved, whichever is applicable, and under our master policy effective October 1, 2014,
such proceedings may be brought up to two years from the date of the notice of rescission. In a few
jurisdictions there is a longer time to bring such proceedings.
Until a liability associated with a settlement agreement or litigation becomes probable and can be
reasonably estimated, we consider our claim payment or rescission resolved for financial reporting
purposes even though discussions and legal proceedings have been initiated and are ongoing. Under
ASC 450-20, an estimated loss from such discussions and proceedings is accrued for only if we
determine that the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
In December 2009, we entered into legal proceedings with Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (CHL) and
its affiliate, Bank of America, N.A., as successor to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP (BANA
and collectively with CHL, Countrywide) in which Countrywide alleged that MGIC denied valid
mortgage insurance claims. (In our SEC reports, we refer to insurance rescissions and denials of
claims collectively as rescissions and variations of that term.)
In April 2013, MGIC entered into separate settlement agreements with CHL and BANA, pursuant to
which the parties agreed to settle the Countrywide litigation as it relates to MGICs rescission
practices (as amended from time to time, the Agreements). The Agreement with BANA covers loans
purchased by the GSEs. That original Agreement was implemented beginning in November 2013 and we
resolved all related suspended rescissions in November and December 2013 by paying the associated
claim or processing the rescission.
On March 2, 2015, the parties to the Agreement with CHL amended and restated that Agreement. The
amended and restated Agreement is described in our Form 8-K filed March 5, 2015 and is filed as an
exhibit to that Form 8-K. Certain portions of the Agreements are redacted and covered by
confidential treatment requests that have been granted. The Agreement with CHL covers loans that
were purchased by non-GSE investors, including securitization trusts. The original Agreement
addressed rescission and denial rights; the amended and restated Agreement also addresses
curtailment rights. Implementation of that Agreement occurred in June 2015 with respect to loans
for which consent to the Agreement was received.
The estimated impact of the Agreements has been recorded in our financial statements. The pending
arbitration proceedings concerning the loans covered by the Agreements have been dismissed, the
mutual releases regarding loans for which consent was received have become effective and the
litigation between the parties regarding loans covered by the Agreements has been dismissed.
Consent was received for approximately 89% of the dollar amount of exposure on loans covered by the
Agreement with CHL; the holders of loans that did not consent retain their rights to assert claims
with respect to such loans.
The estimated impact of other probable settlements has also been recorded in our financial
statements. The estimated impact that we recorded for other probable settlements is our best
estimate of our loss from these matters. We estimate that as of June 30, 2015, the maximum exposure
above the best estimate provision we recorded is $122 million. If we are not able to implement the
other settlements we consider probable, we intend to defend MGIC vigorously against any related
legal proceedings.
The flow policies at issue with Countrywide are in the same form as the flow policies that we used
with all of our customers during the period covered by the Agreements, and the bulk policies at
issue vary from one another, but are generally similar to those used in the majority of our Wall
Street bulk transactions.
We are involved in discussions and consensual proceedings with insureds with respect to our claims
paying practices. In addition, holders of loans that did not consent to the Agreement with CHL may
bring legal proceedings against MGIC with respect to such loans. Although it is reasonably possible
that when these discussions or proceedings are completed we will not prevail in all cases, we are
unable to make a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the potential liability. We estimate
the maximum exposure associated with these discussions and proceedings to be approximately $218
million, although we believe we will ultimately resolve these matters for significantly less than
this amount.
The estimates of our maximum exposure referred to above do not include interest or consequential or
exemplary damages.
Consumers continue to bring lawsuits against home mortgage lenders and settlement service
providers. 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
December 2004, following denial of class certification in June 2004. Since December 2006, class
action litigation has been brought against a number of large lenders alleging that their captive
mortgage reinsurance arrangements violated RESPA. Beginning in December 2011, MGIC, together with
various mortgage lenders and other mortgage insurers, was named as a defendant in twelve lawsuits,
alleged to be class actions, filed in various U.S. District Courts. The complaints in all of the
cases alleged various causes of action related to the captive mortgage reinsurance arrangements of
the mortgage lenders, including that the lenders captive reinsurers received excessive premiums in
relation to the risk assumed by those captives, thereby violating RESPA. As of the end of the first
quarter of 2015, MGIC has been dismissed from all twelve cases. There can be no assurance that we
will not be subject to further litigation under RESPA (or FCRA) or that the outcome of any such
litigation, including the lawsuits mentioned above, would not have a material adverse effect on us.
In 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida approved a settlement with
the CFPB that resolved a federal investigation of MGICs participation in captive reinsurance
arrangements in the mortgage insurance industry. The settlement concluded the investigation with
respect to MGIC without the CFPB or the court making any findings of wrongdoing. As part of the
settlement, MGIC agreed that it would not enter into any new captive reinsurance agreement or
reinsure any new loans under any existing captive reinsurance agreement for a period of ten years.
MGIC had voluntarily suspended most of its captive arrangements in 2008 in response to market
conditions and GSE requests. In connection with the settlement, MGIC paid a civil penalty of $2.65
million and the court issued an injunction prohibiting MGIC from violating any provisions of RESPA.
We received requests from the Minnesota Department of Commerce (the MN Department) beginning in
February 2006 regarding captive mortgage reinsurance and certain other matters in response to which
MGIC has provided information on several occasions. In June 2015, MGIC executed a Consent Order
with the MN Department that resolved the MN Departments investigation of captive reinsurance
matters without making any findings of wrongdoing. The Consent Order provides, among other things,
that MGIC is prohibited from entering into any new captive reinsurance agreement or reinsuring any
new loans under any existing captive reinsurance agreement for a period of ten years.
We also received a request in June 2005 from the New York Department of Financial Services for
information regarding captive mortgage reinsurance arrangements and other types of arrangements in
which lenders receive compensation.
Various regulators, including the CFPB, state insurance commissioners and state attorneys general
may bring actions seeking various forms of relief in connection with alleged violations 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 practices are in
conformity with applicable laws and regulations, it is not possible to predict the eventual scope,
duration or outcome of any such reviews or investigations nor is it possible to predict their
effect on us or the mortgage insurance industry.
We are subject to comprehensive, detailed regulation by state insurance departments. These
regulations are principally designed for the protection of our insured policyholders, rather than
for the benefit of investors. Although their scope varies, state insurance laws generally grant
broad supervisory powers to agencies or officials to examine insurance companies and enforce rules
or exercise discretion affecting almost every significant aspect of the insurance business. State
insurance regulatory authorities could take actions, including changes in capital requirements,
that could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, the CFPB may issue additional rules
or regulations, which may materially affect our business.
In December 2013, the U.S. Treasury Departments Federal Insurance Office released a report that
calls for federal standards and oversight for mortgage insurers to be developed and implemented. It
is uncertain what form the standards and oversight will take and when they will become effective.
A non-insurance subsidiary of our holding company is a shareholder of the corporation that operates
the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS). Our subsidiary, as a shareholder of MERS, had
been named as a defendant (along with MERS and its other shareholders) in eight lawsuits asserting
various causes of action arising from allegedly improper recording and foreclosure activities by
MERS. As of June 5, 2015, all of these lawsuits have been dismissed without any further opportunity
to appeal.
In addition to the matters described above, we are involved in other legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business. In our opinion, based on the facts known at this time, the ultimate
resolution of these ordinary course legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on
our financial position or results of operations.
Resolution of our dispute with the Internal Revenue Service could adversely affect us.
As previously disclosed, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed examinations of our federal
income tax returns for the years 2000 through 2007 and issued proposed assessments for taxes,
interest and penalties related 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
(REMICs). The IRS indicated that it did not believe that, for various reasons, we had established
sufficient tax basis in the REMIC residual interests to deduct the losses from taxable income. We
appealed these assessments within the IRS and in August 2010, we reached a tentative settlement
agreement with the IRS which was not finalized.
On September 10, 2014, we received Notices of Deficiency (commonly referred to as 90 day letters)
covering the 2000-2007 tax years. The Notices of Deficiency reflect taxes and penalties related to
the REMIC matters of $197.5 million and at June 30, 2015, there would also be interest related to
these matters of approximately $175.5 million. In 2007, we made a payment of $65.2 million to the
United States Department of the Treasury which will reduce any amounts we would ultimately owe. The
Notices of Deficiency also reflect additional amounts due of $261.4 million, which are primarily
associated with the disallowance of the carryback of the 2009 net operating loss to the 2004-2007
tax years. We believe the IRS included the carryback adjustments as a precaution to keep open the
statute of limitations on collection of the tax that was refunded when this loss was carried back,
and not because the IRS actually intends to disallow the carryback permanently.
We filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court contesting most of the IRS proposed adjustments
reflected in the Notices of Deficiency and the IRS has filed an answer to our petition which
continues to assert their claim. Litigation to resolve our dispute with the IRS could be lengthy
and costly in terms of legal fees and related expenses. We can provide no assurance regarding the
outcome of any such litigation or whether a compromised settlement with the IRS will ultimately be
reached and finalized. Depending on the outcome of this matter, additional state income taxes and
state interest may become due when a final resolution is reached. As of June 30, 2015, those state
taxes and interest would approximate $48.1 million. In addition, there could also be state tax
penalties. Our total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2015 is $106.7 million,
which represents the tax benefits generated by the REMIC portfolio included in our tax returns that
we have not taken benefit for in our financial statements, including any related interest. We
continue to believe that our previously recorded tax provisions and liabilities are appropriate.
However, we would need to make appropriate adjustments, which could be material, to our tax
provision and liabilities if our view of the probability of success in this matter changes, and the
ultimate resolution of this matter could have a material negative impact on our effective tax rate,
results of operations, cash flows, available assets and statutory capital. In this regard, see our
risk factors titled We may not continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer eligibility
requirements and our returns may decrease as we are required to maintain more capital in order to
maintain our eligibility and State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write
new insurance on an uninterrupted basis.
Because we establish loss reserves only upon a loan default rather than based on estimates of our
ultimate losses on risk in force, losses may have a disproportionate adverse effect on our earnings
in certain periods.
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, commonly referred
to as GAAP, we establish reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses only when
notices of default on insured mortgage loans are received and for loans we estimate are in default
but for which notices of default have not yet been reported to us by the servicers (this is often
referred to as IBNR). Because our reserving method does not take account of losses that could
occur from loans that are not delinquent, such losses are not reflected in our financial
statements, except in the case where a premium deficiency exists. As a result, future losses on
loans that are not currently delinquent may have a material impact on future results as such losses
emerge.
Because loss reserve estimates are subject to uncertainties, paid claims may be substantially
different than our loss reserves.
When we establish reserves, we estimate the ultimate loss on delinquent loans using estimated claim
rates and claim amounts. The estimated claim rates and claim amounts represent our best estimates
of what we will actually pay on the loans in default as of the reserve date and incorporate
anticipated mitigation from rescissions. We rescind coverage on loans and deny claims in cases
where we believe our policy allows us to do so. Therefore, when establishing our loss reserves, we
do not include additional loss reserves that would reflect a possible adverse development from
ongoing dispute resolution proceedings regarding rescissions and denials unless we have determined
that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. For more information regarding our legal
proceedings, see our risk factor titled We are involved in legal proceedings and are subject to
the risk of additional legal proceedings in the future.
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 different than our loss
reserve estimates. Our estimates could be adversely affected by several factors, including a
deterioration of regional or national economic conditions. The deterioration in conditions may
include an increase in unemployment, reducing borrowers income and thus their ability to make
mortgage payments, and a decrease in housing values, which may affect borrower willingness to
continue to make mortgage payments when the value of the home is below the mortgage balance.
Changes to our estimates could have a material impact on our future results, even in a stable
economic environment. In addition, historically, losses incurred have followed a seasonal trend in
which the second half of the year has weaker credit performance than the first half, with higher
new default notice activity and a lower cure rate.
We rely on our management team and our business could be harmed if we are unable to retain
qualified personnel or successfully develop and/or recruit their replacements.
Our industry is undergoing a fundamental shift following the mortgage crisis: long-standing
competitors have gone out of business and two newly capitalized start-ups that are not encumbered
with a portfolio of pre-crisis mortgages have been formed. Former executives from other mortgage
insurers have joined these two new competitors. In addition, in 2014, a worldwide insurer and
reinsurer with mortgage insurance operations in Europe completed the purchase of a competitor. Our
success depends, in part, on the skills, working relationships and continued services of our
management team and other key personnel. The unexpected departure of key personnel could adversely
affect the conduct of our business. In such event, we would be required to obtain other personnel
to manage and operate our business. In addition, we will be required to replace the knowledge and
expertise of our aging workforce as our workers retire. In either case, there can be no assurance
that we would be able to develop or recruit suitable replacements for the departing individuals;
that replacements could be hired, if necessary, on terms that are favorable to us; or that we can
successfully transition such replacements in a timely manner. We currently have not entered into
any employment agreements with our officers or key personnel. Volatility or lack of performance in
our stock price may affect our ability to retain our key personnel or attract replacements should
key personnel depart. Without a properly skilled and experienced workforce, our costs, including
productivity costs and costs to replace employees may increase, and this could negatively impact
our earnings.
Our reinsurance agreement with unaffiliated reinsurers allows each reinsurer to terminate such
reinsurers portion of the transactions on a run-off basis if during any six month period prior to
July 1, 2015, two or more of our top five executives depart, the departures result in a material
adverse impact on our underwriting and risk management practices or policies, and such reinsurer
timely objects to the replacements of such executives. We view such a termination as unlikely. The
restructured reinsurance transaction contains a similar provision.
Loan modification and other similar programs may not continue to provide benefits to us and our
losses on loans that re-default can be higher than what we would have paid had the loan not been
modified.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, the federal government, including through the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and the GSEs, and several lenders implemented programs to modify
loans to make them more affordable to borrowers with the goal of reducing the number of
foreclosures. During 2013, 2014 and the first half of 2015, we were notified of modifications that
cured delinquencies that had they become paid claims would have resulted in approximately $1.0
billion, $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, of estimated claim payments.
One loan modification program is the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). We are aware of
approximately 5,440 loans in our primary delinquent inventory at June 30, 2015 for which the HAMP
trial period has begun and which trial periods have not been reported to us as completed or
cancelled. Through June 30, 2015, approximately 62,510 delinquent primary loans have cured their
delinquency after entering HAMP and are not in default. The interest rates on certain loans
modified under HAMP are subject to adjustment five years after the modification was entered into.
Such adjustments are limited to an increase of one percentage point per year.
The GSEs Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), allows borrowers who are not delinquent but
who may not otherwise be able to refinance their loans under the current GSE underwriting
standards, to refinance their loans. We allow HARP refinances on loans that we insure, regardless
of whether the loan meets our current underwriting standards, and we account for the refinance as a
loan modification (even where there is a new lender) rather than new insurance written. As of June
30, 2015, approximately 14% of our primary insurance in force had benefitted from HARP and was
still in force.
In each of 2014 and the first half of 2015, approximately 16% of our primary cures were the result
of modifications, with HAMP accounting for approximately 67% of those modifications in 2014 and 68%
in the first half of 2015. Although the HAMP and HARP programs have been extended through December
2016, we believe that we have realized the majority of the benefits from them because the number of
loans insured by us that we are aware are entering those programs has decreased significantly.
We cannot determine the total benefit we may derive from loan modification programs, particularly
given the uncertainty around the re-default rates for defaulted loans that have been modified. Our
loss reserves do not account for potential re-defaults of current loans. Re-defaults can result in
losses for us that could be greater than we would have paid had the loan not been modified.
Eligibility under certain loan modification programs can also adversely affect us by creating an
incentive for borrowers who are able to make their mortgage payments to become delinquent in an
attempt to obtain the benefits of a modification. New notices of delinquency increase our incurred
losses.
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:
|
|
|
restrictions on mortgage credit due to more stringent underwriting standards, liquidity
issues and risk-retention requirements associated with non-QRM loans affecting lenders, |
|
|
|
the level of home mortgage interest rates and the deductibility of mortgage interest for
income tax purposes, |
|
|
|
the health of the domestic economy as well as conditions in regional and local economies
and the level of consumer confidence, |
|
|
|
population trends, including the rate of household formation, |
|
|
|
the rate of home price appreciation, which in times of heavy refinancing can affect
whether refinanced loans have loan-to-value ratios that require private mortgage insurance,
and |
|
|
|
government housing policy encouraging loans to first-time homebuyers. |
A decline in the volume of low down payment home mortgage originations could decrease demand for
mortgage insurance, decrease our new insurance written and reduce our revenues. For other factors
that could decrease the demand for mortgage insurance, see our risk factor titled The amount of
insurance we write could be adversely affected if lenders and investors select alternatives to
private mortgage insurance.
State capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an
uninterrupted basis.
The insurance laws of 16 jurisdictions, including Wisconsin, our domiciliary state, require a
mortgage insurer to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to the risk in force
(or a similar measure) in order for the mortgage insurer to continue to write new business. We
refer to these requirements as the State Capital Requirements and, together with the GSE
Financial Requirements, the Financial Requirements. While they vary among jurisdictions, the most
common State Capital Requirements allow for a maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25 to 1. A
risk-to-capital ratio will increase if (i) the percentage decrease in capital exceeds the
percentage decrease in insured risk, or (ii) the percentage increase in capital is less than the
percentage increase in insured risk. Wisconsin does not regulate capital by using a risk-to-capital
measure but instead requires a minimum policyholder position (MPP). The policyholder position
of a mortgage insurer is its net worth or surplus, contingency reserve and a portion of the
reserves for unearned premiums.
At June 30, 2015, MGICs preliminary risk-to-capital ratio was 13.2 to 1, below the maximum allowed
by the jurisdictions with State Capital Requirements, and its policyholder position was
$914 million above the required MPP of $1.1 billion. As noted in our risk factor titled We may not
continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease
as we are required to maintain more capital in order to maintain our eligibility, we are party to
a reinsurance transaction with a group of unaffiliated reinsurers that reduces our risk-to-capital
ratio. We and the reinsurers have reached agreement to restructure the transaction in a manner that
we believe will result in MGIC receiving substantially all of the benefit available under the GSE
Financial Requirements. The effectiveness of the restructured transaction will be subject to
approval by the GSEs and the OCI. It is possible that under the revised State Capital Requirements
discussed below, MGIC will not be allowed full credit for the risk ceded to the reinsurers. If MGIC
is not allowed an agreed level of credit under either the State Capital Requirements or the GSE
Financial Requirements, MGIC may terminate the reinsurance agreement, without penalty. At this
time, we expect MGIC to continue to comply with the current State Capital Requirements; however,
you should read the rest of these risk factors for information about matters that could negatively
affect such compliance.
At June 30, 2015, the preliminary risk-to-capital ratio of our combined insurance operations (which
includes reinsurance affiliates) was 14.8 to 1. Reinsurance transactions with affiliates permit
MGIC to write insurance with a higher coverage percentage than it could on its own under certain
state-specific requirements. A higher risk-to-capital ratio on a combined basis may indicate that,
in order for MGIC to continue to utilize reinsurance arrangements with its affiliates, unless a
waiver of the State Capital Requirements of Wisconsin continues to be effective, additional capital
contributions to the reinsurance affiliates could be needed.
The NAIC previously announced that it plans to revise the minimum capital and surplus requirements
for mortgage insurers that are provided for in its Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act. A working
group of state regulators is drafting the revisions, although no date has been established by which
the NAIC must propose revisions to such requirements. Depending on the scope of revisions made by
the NAIC, MGIC may be prevented from writing new business in the jurisdictions adopting such
revisions.
If MGIC fails to meet the State Capital Requirements of Wisconsin and is unable to obtain a waiver
of them from the OCI, MGIC could be prevented from writing new business in all jurisdictions. If
MGIC fails to meet the State Capital Requirements of a jurisdiction other than Wisconsin and is
unable to obtain a waiver of them, MGIC could be prevented from writing new business in that
particular jurisdiction. It is possible that regulatory action by one or more jurisdictions,
including those that do not have specific State Capital Requirements, may prevent MGIC from
continuing to write new insurance in such jurisdictions. If we are unable to write business in all
jurisdictions, lenders may be unwilling to procure insurance from us anywhere. In addition, a
lenders assessment of the future ability of our insurance operations to meet the Financial
Requirements may affect its willingness to procure insurance from us. In this regard, see our risk
factor titled Competition or changes in our relationships with our customers could reduce our
revenues, reduce our premium yields and/or increase our losses.A possible future failure by MGIC
to meet the Financial Requirements will not necessarily mean that MGIC lacks sufficient resources
to pay claims on its insurance liabilities. While we believe MGIC has sufficient claims paying
resources to meet its claim obligations on its insurance in force on a timely basis, you should
read the rest of these risk factors for information about matters that could negatively affect
MGICs claims paying resources.
Downturns in the domestic economy or declines 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 or willingness 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. In general, favorable economic conditions 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, including an increase in unemployment, 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 and the cost of mortgage credit due to more stringent underwriting
standards, higher interest rates generally or changes to the deductibility of mortgage interest for
income tax purposes, or other factors. The residential mortgage market in the United States had for
some time experienced a variety of poor or worsening economic conditions, including a material
nationwide decline in housing values, with declines continuing into early 2012 in a number of
geographic areas. Although housing values in most markets have recently been increasing, in some
markets they remain significantly below their peak levels. Changes in housing values and
unemployment levels are inherently difficult to forecast given the uncertainty in the current
market environment, including uncertainty about the effect of actions the federal government has
taken and may take with respect to tax policies, mortgage finance programs and policies, and
housing finance reform.
The mix of business we write affects the likelihood of losses occurring, our Minimum Required
Assets for purposes of the GSE Financial Requirements, and our premium yields.
Even when housing values are stable or rising, mortgages with certain characteristics have higher
probabilities of claims. These characteristics include loans with loan-to-value ratios over 95% (or
in certain markets that have experienced declining housing values, over 90%), FICO credit scores
below 620, limited underwriting, including limited borrower documentation, or higher total
debt-to-income ratios, as well as loans having combinations of higher risk factors. As of June 30,
2015, approximately 17.4% of our primary risk in force consisted of loans with loan-to-value ratios
greater than 95%, 5.2% had FICO credit scores below 620, and 5.2% had limited underwriting,
including limited borrower documentation, each attribute as determined at the time of loan
origination. A material number of these loans were originated in 2005 2007 or the first half of
2008. In accordance with industry practice, loans approved by GSEs and other automated underwriting
systems under doc waiver programs that do not require verification of borrower income are
classified by us as full documentation. For additional information about such loans, see footnote
(1) to the Additional Information contained in this press release.
The Minimum Required Assets for purposes of the GSE Financial Requirements are, in part, a function
of the direct risk-in-force and the risk profile of the loans we insure, considering loan-to-value
ratio, credit score, vintage, HARP status and delinquency status; and whether the loans were
insured under lender paid mortgage insurance policies or other policies that are not subject to
automatic termination consistent with the Homeowners Protection Acts requirements for borrower
paid mortgage insurance. Therefore, if our direct risk-in-force increases through increases in new
insurance written, or if our mix of business changes to include loans with higher loan-to-value
ratios or lower credit scores, for example, or if we insure more loans under lender paid mortgage
insurance policies, we will be required to hold more Available Assets in order to maintain GSE
eligibility.
From time to time, in response to market conditions, we change the types of loans that we insure
and the requirements under which we insure them. In 2013, we liberalized our underwriting
guidelines somewhat, in part through aligning most of our underwriting requirements with Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac for loans that receive and are processed in accordance with certain approval
recommendations from a GSE automated underwriting system. As a result of the liberalization of our
underwriting requirements and other factors, our business written beginning in the second half of
2013 is expected to have a somewhat higher claim incidence than business written in from 2009
through the first half of 2013. However, we believe this business presents an acceptable level of
risk. Our underwriting requirements are available on our website at
http://www.mgic.com/underwriting/index.html. We monitor the competitive landscape and will make
adjustments to our pricing and underwriting guidelines as warranted. We also make exceptions to our
underwriting requirements on a loan-by-loan basis and for certain customer programs. Together, the
number of loans for which exceptions were made accounted for fewer than 2% of the loans we insured
in 2014 and the first half of 2015.
As noted above in our risk factor titled We may not continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer
eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease as we are required to maintain more capital
in order to maintain our eligibility, we have recently increased the percentage of our business
from lender-paid single premium policies. Depending on the actual life of a single premium policy
and its premium rate relative to that of a monthly premium policy, a single premium policy may
generate more or less premium than a monthly premium policy over its life. Currently, we expect to
receive less lifetime premium from a new lender-paid single premium policy than we would from a new
borrower-paid monthly premium policy.
As noted above in our risk factor titled We may not continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer
eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease as we are required to maintain more capital
in order to maintain our eligibility, we entered into a quota share reinsurance transaction with a
group of unaffiliated reinsurers that we anticipate will be restructured. Although the transaction,
as currently structured and as proposed to be restructured, reduces our premiums, it has a lesser
impact on our overall results, as losses ceded under the transaction reduce our losses incurred and
the ceding commission we receive reduces our underwriting expenses.
The circumstances in which we are entitled to rescind coverage have narrowed for insurance we have
written in recent years. During the second quarter of 2012, we began writing a portion of our new
insurance under an endorsement to our then existing master policy (the Gold Cert Endorsement),
which limited our ability to rescind coverage compared to that master policy. The Gold Cert
Endorsement is filed as Exhibit 99.7 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2012 (filed with the SEC on May 10, 2012).
To comply with requirements of the GSEs, in 2014 we introduced a new master policy. Our rescission
rights under our new master policy are comparable to those under our previous master policy, as
modified by the Gold Cert Endorsement, but may be further narrowed if the GSEs permit modifications
to them. Our new master policy is filed as Exhibit 99.19 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2014 (filed with the SEC on November 7, 2014). All of our primary
new insurance on loans with mortgage insurance application dates on or after October 1, 2014, was
written under our new master policy. As of June 30, 2015, approximately 39% of our flow, primary
insurance in force was written under our Gold Cert Endorsement or our new master policy.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately 2.6% of our primary risk in force 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. If interest rates
should rise between the time of origination of such loans and when their interest rates may be
reset, claims on ARMs and adjustable rate mortgages whose interest rates may only be adjusted after
five years would be substantially higher than for fixed rate loans. In addition, we have insured
interest-only loans, which may also be ARMs, and loans with negative amortization features, such
as pay option ARMs. We believe claim rates on 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 be adequate to compensate for actual losses even under our current underwriting
requirements. We do, however, believe that given the various changes in our underwriting
requirements that were effective beginning in the first quarter of 2008, our insurance written
beginning in the second half of 2008 will generate underwriting profits.
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. Our premiums are subject to approval by state regulatory agencies,
which can delay or limit our ability to increase our premiums. Generally, we cannot cancel 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.
We continue to experience elevated losses on our 2005-2008 books and our current expectation is
that the incurred losses from these books, although declining, will continue to generate a material
portion of our total incurred losses for a number of years. The ultimate amount of these losses
will depend in part on general economic conditions, including unemployment, and the direction of
home prices, which in turn will be influenced by general economic conditions and other factors.
Because we cannot predict future home prices or general economic conditions with confidence, there
is uncertainty surrounding what our ultimate losses will be on each of our books, including our
2005-2008 books.
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. Over the last
several years, the mortgage loan servicing industry has experienced consolidation. The resulting
reduction in the number of servicers could lead to disruptions in the servicing of mortgage loans
covered by our insurance policies. In addition, the increases in the number of delinquent mortgage
loans requiring servicing since 2007 have strained the resources of servicers, reducing their
ability to undertake mitigation efforts that could help limit our losses, and have resulted in an
increasing amount of delinquent loan servicing being transferred to specialty servicers. The
transfer of servicing can cause a disruption in the servicing of delinquent loans. Future housing
market conditions could lead to additional increases in delinquencies. Managing a substantially
higher volume of non-performing loans could lead to increased disruptions in the servicing of
mortgages.
Changes in interest rates, house prices or mortgage insurance cancellation requirements may change
the length of time that our policies remain in force.
The premium from a single premium policy is collected upfront and generally earned over the
estimated life of the policy. In contrast, premiums from a monthly premium policy are received and
earned each month over the life of the policy. In each year, most of our premiums received 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. Future premiums on our monthly paid insurance policies in force represent a material
portion of our claims paying resources and a low persistency rate will reduce those future
premiums. In contrast, a higher than expected persistency rate will decrease the profitability from
single premium policies because they will remain in force longer than was estimated when the
policies were written.
Our persistency rate was 80.4% at June 30, 2015, compared to 82.8% at December 31, 2014, and 79.5%
at December 31, 2013. 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. Since 2000, our year-end persistency
ranged from a high of 84.7% at December 31, 2009 to a low of 47.1% at December 31, 2003.
Our persistency rate is primarily affected by the level of current mortgage interest rates compared
to the mortgage coupon rates on our insurance in force, which affects the vulnerability of the
insurance in force to refinancing. Our persistency rate is also affected by mortgage insurance
cancellation policies of mortgage investors along with the current value of the homes underlying
the mortgages in the insurance in force.
Your ownership in our company may be diluted by additional capital that we raise or if the holders
of our outstanding convertible debt convert that debt into shares of our common stock.
As noted above under our risk factor titled We may not continue to meet the GSEs mortgage insurer
eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease as we are required to maintain more capital
in order to maintain our eligibility, we expect to meet the GSE Financial Requirements upon their
effectiveness. However, there can be no assurance that we would not seek to issue non-dilutive debt
capital or to raise additional equity capital to manage our capital position under the GSE
Financial Requirements or for other purposes. Any future issuance of equity securities may dilute
your ownership interest in our company. In addition, the market price of our common stock could
decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares or similar securities in the market or the
perception that such sales could occur.
We have $389.5 million principal amount of 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures
outstanding. The principal amount of the debentures is currently convertible, at the holders
option, at an initial conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, of 74.0741 common shares per
$1,000 principal amount of debentures. This represents an initial conversion price of approximately
$13.50 per share. We have the right, and may elect, to defer interest payable under the debentures
in the future. If a holder elects to convert its debentures, the interest that has been deferred on
the debentures being converted is also convertible into shares of our common stock. The conversion
rate for such deferred interest is based on the average price that our shares traded at during a
5-day period immediately prior to the election to convert the associated debentures. We may elect
to pay cash for some or all of the shares issuable upon a conversion of the debentures. We also
have $345 million principal amount of 5% Convertible Senior Notes and $500 million principal amount
of 2% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding. The 5% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible, at the
holders option, at an initial conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, of 74.4186 shares
per $1,000 principal amount at any time prior to the maturity date. This represents an initial
conversion price of approximately $13.44 per share. Prior to January 1, 2020, the 2% Convertible
Senior Notes are convertible only upon satisfaction of one or more conditions. One such condition
is that conversion may occur during any calendar quarter commencing after March 31, 2014, if the
last reported sale price of our common stock for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30
consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately
preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on
each applicable trading day. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate, which is
subject to adjustment, of 143.8332 shares per $1,000 principal amount. This represents an initial
conversion price of approximately $6.95 per share. 130% of such conversion price is $9.03. On or
after January 1, 2020, holders may convert their notes irrespective of satisfaction of the
conditions. We do not have the right to defer interest on our Convertible Senior Notes. For a
discussion of the dilutive effects of our convertible securities on our earnings per share, see
Note 6 Earnings per Share to our consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 7, 2015.
Our debt obligations materially exceed our holding company cash and investments.
At June 30, 2015, we had approximately $463 million in cash and investments at our holding company
and our holding companys debt obligations were $1,297 million in aggregate principal amount,
consisting of $62 million of Senior Notes due in November 2015, $345 million of Convertible Senior
Notes due in 2017, $500 million of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2020 and $390 million of
Convertible Junior Debentures due in 2063. Annual debt service on the debt outstanding as of June
30, 2015, is approximately $66 million.
The Senior Notes, Convertible Senior Notes and Convertible Junior Debentures are obligations of our
holding company, MGIC Investment Corporation, and not of its subsidiaries. Our holding company has
no material sources of cash inflows other than investment income. The payment of dividends from our
insurance subsidiaries, which other than raising capital in the public markets is the principal
source of our holding company cash inflow, is restricted by insurance regulation. MGIC is the
principal source of dividend-paying capacity. Since 2008, MGIC has not paid any dividends to our
holding company. At this time, MGIC cannot pay any dividends to our holding company without
authorization from the OCI and the GSEs. Any additional capital contributions to our subsidiaries
would decrease our holding company cash and investments.
We could be adversely affected if personal information on consumers that we maintain is improperly
disclosed and our information technology systems may become outdated and we may not be able to make
timely modifications to support our products and services.
We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems. All
information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety
of sources. 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.
In addition, we are in the process of upgrading certain of our information systems that have been
in place for a number of years. The implementation of these technological improvements is complex,
expensive and time consuming. If we fail to timely and successfully implement the new technology
systems, or if the systems do not operate as expected, it could have an adverse impact on our
business, business prospects and results of operations.
Our Australian operations may suffer significant losses.
We began international operations in Australia, where we started to write business in June 2007.
Since 2008, we are no longer writing new business in Australia. Our existing risk in force in
Australia is subject to the risks described in the general economic and insurance business-related
factors discussed above. In addition to these risks, 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.
