Exhibit 99.1

MBIA Inc. First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

May 9, 2022

MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) (the Company) today reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $73 million, or $(1.48) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of $106 million, or $(2.16) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2021. The lower net loss was primarily due to favorable variances of losses and loss adjustment expenses partially offset by lower net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange. The favorable variance of loss and loss adjustment expenses largely resulted from lower losses on Puerto Rico credits at National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (National) and lower reductions of salvage recoveries on Zohar CDO paid insurance claims at MBIA Insurance Corporation. Losses and loss adjustment expenses at National in the first quarter of 2022 included increased losses for PREPA, which were partially offset by loss benefits that reflected favorable changes to the value of collateral received or expected to be received, respectively, for its Puerto Rico General Obligation and Highway and Transportation Authority exposure. The lower net gains on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange included lower net gains from foreign exchange rates associated with the MBIA Global Funding medium term notes and greater losses on fair value option securities and trading securities at National.

Book value per share was negative $10.29 as of March 31, 2022 compared with a negative $5.73 as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in book value per share since year-end 2021 was largely due to unrealized losses on available-for-sale investments that resulted primarily from higher interest rates and the first quarter’s net loss.

The Company also reported an Adjusted Net Loss (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $96 million or $(1.94) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022 compared with an Adjusted Net Loss of $116 million or $(2.36) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021. The favorable change was primarily due to lower losses and loss adjustment expenses at National related to its Puerto Rico exposure.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provides investors with views of the Company’s operating results that management uses in measuring financial performance. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, are included below.

Statement from Company Representative

Bill Fallon, MBIA’s Chief Executive Officer noted, “With the implementation of the Puerto Rico Commonwealth’s Plan of Adjustment, all of National’s insured Puerto Rico General Obligation and Public Building Authority insured exposure has been terminated or retired, which better positions us to pursue the next steps for delivering value to our shareholders.”

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following are explanations of why the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, which serve to supplement GAAP information, are meaningful to investors.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss): Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a useful measurement of performance because it measures income from the Company excluding its international and structured finance insurance segment, comprising the results of MBIA Corp. which given its capital structure and business prospects, we do not expect its financial performance to have a material impact on MBIA Inc. Also excluded from Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are investment portfolio realized gains and losses, gains and losses on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange, and realized gains and losses on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) eliminates the tax provision (benefit) as a result of a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset. Trends in the underlying profitability of the Company’s businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the excluded items previously noted. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as defined by the Company does not include all revenues and expenses required by GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a substitute for and should not be viewed in isolation from GAAP net income.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share represents that amount of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) allocated to each fully diluted weighted-average common share outstanding for the measurement period.

MBIA management further adjusts Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share by removing the impact of our U.S. public finance insurance segment VIE consolidations. GAAP requires the Company to consolidate certain VIEs that have issued debt obligations insured by the Company. However, since the Company does not own such VIEs, management uses certain measures that remove the impact of VIE consolidations for our U.S. public finance insurance segment in order to reflect financial exposure limited to its financial guaranty contracts.

Book Value adjustments: Management adjusts GAAP book value to remove the book value of MBIA Corp. and for certain items which the Company believes will reverse from GAAP book value through GAAP earnings and comprehensive income, as well as add in the impact of certain items which the Company believes will be realized in GAAP book value in future periods. The Company has limited such adjustments to those items that it deems to be important when measuring financial performance and for which the likelihood and amount can be reasonably estimated. The following provides a description of management’s adjustments to GAAP book value:

• Negative book value of MBIA Corp. - We remove the negative book value of MBIA Corp. based on our view that given MBIA Corp.’s current financial condition, the regulatory regime in which it operates, the priority given to its policyholders, surplus note holders and preferred stock holders with respect to the distribution of assets, and its legal structure, it is not and will not likely be in a position to upstream any economic benefit to MBIA Inc. Further, MBIA Inc. does not face any material financial liability arising from MBIA Corp.

• Net unrealized (gains) losses on available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities excluding MBIA Corp. - We remove net unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income since they will reverse from GAAP book value when such securities mature. Gains and losses from sales and impairment of AFS securities are recorded in book value through earnings.

• Net unearned revenue in excess of expected losses of National - We include net unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses. Net unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses consists of the financial guarantee unearned premium revenue of National in excess of expected insurance losses, net of reinsurance and deferred acquisition costs. In accordance with GAAP, a loss reserve on a financial guarantee policy is only recorded when expected losses exceed the amount of unearned premium revenue recorded for that policy. As a result, we only add to GAAP book value the amount of unearned premium revenue in excess of expected losses for each policy in order to reflect the full amount of our expected losses. The Company’s net unearned premium revenue will be recognized in GAAP book value in future periods, however, actual amounts could differ from estimated amounts due to such factors as credit defaults and policy terminations, among others.

Claims-paying Resources (CPR): CPR is a key measure of the resources available to National and MBIA Corp. to pay claims under their respective insurance policies. CPR consists of total financial resources and reserves calculated on a statutory basis. CPR has been a common measure used by financial guarantee insurance companies to report and compare resources and continues to be used by MBIA’s management to evaluate changes in such resources. The Company has provided CPR to allow investors and analysts to evaluate National and MBIA Corp. using the same measure that MBIA’s management uses to evaluate their resources to pay claims under their respective insurance policies. There is no directly comparable GAAP measure.

Leverage Ratio: Gross Par Outstanding divided by Statutory Capital (Policyholders’ Surplus plus Contingency Reserve).
