Description of Mbia Inc's Business Segments


Overview of MBIA Inc.

MBIA Inc. is a financial services company specializing in the provision of insurance and related services aimed at protecting public finance and structured finance transactions.

1. Public Finance Insurance

Business Operations:
MBIAs U.S. public finance insurance is mainly provided through its subsidiary, National, while international and structured finance insurance operations are conducted through MBIA Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Products:
The primary offerings in this segment include financial guarantee insurance policies designed to back municipal bonds. These policies are available in two key markets:

- New Issue Market:
This encompasses transactions that occur as new municipal bonds are issued. The insurance can be acquired through two methods:
- Negotiated Offerings: The issuer or underwriter directly purchases the insurance policy from the insurer.
- Competitive Bidding: In this case, the insurer offers the policy as an option for underwriters who bid on the bonds. The winning bidder can then choose to purchase the insurance, or it may be acquired directly by the issuer in certain circumstances.

- Secondary Market:
In the secondary market for municipal obligations, MBIA insures the payment of principal and interest upon request from brokers or existing bondholders. The premiums for these policies are generally funded by the bond owners.

Risk Management:
The primary risk to the companys operations in this segment arises from adverse credit performance of the bonds insured. The company has a structured process to manage this risk, including assessments of the financial health of municipalities and the specific projects being financed.

Structured Finance

Products:
MBIA Corp. specializes in insuring structured finance obligations that typically comprise securities dependent on cash flows from a specified pool of assets. These assets can include a diverse range of financial vehicles like:

- Residential and commercial mortgage loans
- Insurance policies
- Consumer loans
- Corporate loans and bonds
- Trade and export receivables
- Equipment, aircraft, and real property leases
- Private sector student loans
- Infrastructure projects

Credit Enhancements:
Structured finance transactions often employ various credit enhancements, including:

- Over-collateralization: Ensuring there are more assets than obligations to provide added security.
- Subordination: Structuring securities in a hierarchy, where some hold priority over others.
- Excess Cash Flow: Allocating surplus cash flow to pay down debt.
- First Loss Protection: Offering protections against initial losses from defaults.

Risk Landscape:
Nonetheless, MBIA faces several risks in this segment, including:

- Asset Risk: Influenced by the quality and value of the cash-generating assets used to back the securities.
- Structural Risk: Related to the robustness of the financial instrument structures and their protection against defaults.
- Servicing Risk: Associated with the performance of servicers in managing cash flow collections from underlying assets.

Recent challenges have arisen from including a significant number of ineligible mortgage loans within insured transactions, leading to potential losses exceeding the initial stress analyses at the time of origination. The structured finance industry currently presents limited opportunities for credit enhancements, creating uncertainty about MBIAs future engagement in this market.

Services Provided:
MBIA offers advisory services through registered investment advisors focused on fixed-income asset management. These services include:
