(1). Structured municipal: includes excess of loss reinsurance on portfolios of municipal credits where the Company attached in excess of the AAA rating level.

(2). Other public finance: primarily includes student loans and government-sponsored project finance.

(3). Collateralized debt obligations (CDO’s) are structured financings backed by a pool of investment grade assets. These financings are typically structured in multiple tranches (layers) from equity (first loss) through super senior (high excess). Losses on defaulted pool assets are allocated successively first to the equity tranche then to higher rated tranches.

(4). Commercial receivables: principally includes equipment leases and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

(5). Consumer receivables: principally includes auto loan receivables and credit card receivables.

(6). Other structured finance: predominantly trade receivable securitization, secured structured lending, and future flow transactions.

(7). Single name corporate credit default swaps (CDS) includes CDS of investor-owned utilities.

(8). Ratings are internally determined based on rating agency guidelines.

(1). AGR numbers are our estimate of U.S. statutory as the company files Bermuda statutory financial statements

(2). Unearned premium reserve for AGR is GAAP based and net of prepaid reinsurance premiums

Endnotes related to non-GAAP measures discussed in the operating supplement:

(a) PVP, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents gross premiums related to financial guaranty and mortgage guaranty contracts written in the current period, including upfront and installment premiums received on contracts written in the current period and the present value of estimated future installment premiums, discounted at 6% per year. We use 6% as the present value discount because it is the approximate taxable equivalent yield on our investment portfolio for the periods presented. Present value of installment premiums in-force, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents our future premiums on our in-force book of installment premium business in our financial guaranty direct and financial guaranty reinsurance segments. It is calculated net of reinsurance ceded and using a discount rate of 6%. We believe PVP and Present value of installment premiums in-force are useful measures for management, equity analysts and investors because they permits the evaluation of the value of new business production for Assured Guaranty by taking into account the value of installment premiums on new contracts underwritten in a reporting period, which the GAAP gross premiums written does not adequately measure.

(b) Operating income, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income excluding after-tax realized gains (losses) on investments and after-tax unrealized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments. Operating ROE represents operating income as a percentage of average shareholder’s equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). We believe the presentation of operating income and operating ROE enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) on investments and net unrealized gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the market interest rates, credit spreads and other factors that management cannot control or predict. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

(c) Adjusted book value, which is a non-GAAP measure, is derived by beginning with shareholder’s equity (book value) and adding or subtracting the after-tax value of: the financial guaranty and mortgage guaranty net unearned premium reserve; deferred acquisition costs and the present value of estimated net future installment premiums (discounted at 6%). The adjustments described above will not be realized until future periods and may differ materially from the amounts used in determining adjusted book value. Management, investors and analysts use the calculation of adjusted book value to evaluate the net present value of the Company’s in-force premium and capital base.
