MGIC INVESTMENT CORP

Consolidated Cash Flow Analysis

We have three primary types of cash flows: (1) operating cash flows, which consist mainly of cash generated by our insurance operations and income earned on our investment portfolio, less amounts paid for claims, interest expense and operating expenses, (2) investing cash flows related primarily to the purchase, sale and maturity of investments and (3) financing cash flows generally from activities that impact our capital structure, such as changes in debt and shares outstanding, and dividend payments. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to cash paid to third parties for the purchase of transferrable federal tax credits, a decrease in premiums received, and an increase in losses paid, partially offset by a decrease in underwriting expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, primarily reflects sales and maturities of fixed income securities that exceeded purchases of fixed income securities during the period.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, primarily reflects repurchases of our common stock, dividends to shareholders, and the payment of withholding taxes related to share-based compensation net share settlement.

In the next twelve months we will pay approximately $154.4 million for amounts owed to third parties for our purchase of transferable federal tax credits.

We also have purchase obligations totaling approximately $20.3 million which consist primarily of contracts related to our continued investment in our information technology infrastructure in the normal course of business. The majority of these obligations are under contracts that give us cancellation rights with notice. In the next twelve months we anticipate we will pay approximately $12.8 million for our purchase obligations.

Future contributions to our pension plan are impacted by the net funded status (the market value of our plan assets compared to the projected benefit obligation).

Capitalization

Debt - Holding Company

As of June 30, 2026, our holding company’s debt obligations were $650 million in aggregate principal amount consisting of our 5.25% Notes due in 2028. See Note 7 – “Debt” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information about the terms of our indebtedness.

Liquidity Analysis - Holding Company

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had approximately $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, in cash and investments at our holding company. These resources are maintained primarily to service our debt interest expense, pay debt maturities, repurchase shares, pay dividends to shareholders, and to settle intercompany obligations. While these assets are held, we generate investment income that serves to offset a portion of our cash requirements. The payment of dividends from MGIC are the principal source of holding company cash inflow and their payment is restricted by insurance regulation. See Note 13 - “Statutory Information” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about MGIC’s dividend restrictions. The payment of dividends from MGIC is also influenced by our view of the appropriate level of excess PMIERs Available Assets to maintain, which can change over time. Raising capital in the public markets is another potential source of holding company liquidity. The ability to raise capital in the public markets is subject to prevailing market conditions, investor demand for the securities to be issued, and our deemed creditworthiness.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 we repurchased 13.8 million shares for $369.2 million. Through July 24, 2026, we repurchased an additional 1.5 million shares for $42.4 million inclusive of commissions.

We paid dividends of $0.15 to shareholders in the first and second quarter of 2026. On July 23, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to the holders of the company’s common stock of $0.17 per share to shareholders of record on August 5, 2026. See Note 12 - “Shareholders’ Equity” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on our share repurchase programs as well as dividends paid to shareholders.

Over the next twelve months the principal demand on our holding company resources will be interest payments on our 5.25% Notes approximating $34.0 million and dividends to shareholders. We believe our holding company has sufficient sources of liquidity to meet its payment obligations for the foreseeable future.

We may also use holding company cash to repurchase additional shares, however, our repurchases are subject to variation based on a variety of factors including our capital and liquidity position and the share price of our common stock. Such repurchases may be material, may be made for cash (funded by debt) and/or exchanges for other securities, and may be made in open market purchases (including through 10b5-1 plans), privately negotiated acquisitions or other transactions.

Significant cash and investments inflows at our holding company during the six months ended June 30, 2026:

•$400.0 million dividend received from MGIC, and

•$14.7 million of investment income.

Significant cash outflows at our holding company during the six months ended June 30, 2026:

•$377.1 million of net share repurchase transactions,

•$86.4 million paid to third parties for the purchase of tax credits,

•$66.8 million of cash dividends paid to shareholders, and

•$17.1 million of interest payments on our outstanding debt obligation.

The net unrealized losses on our holding company investment portfolio were approximately $3.2 million at June 30, 2026, and the portfolio had modified duration of approximately 0.9 years.

The ability of MGIC to pay dividends is restricted by insurance regulation. Amounts in excess of prescribed limits are deemed “extraordinary” and may not be paid if disapproved by the OCI. A dividend is extraordinary when the proposed dividend amount, plus dividends paid in the twelve months preceding the dividend payment date exceed the ordinary dividend level. In 2026, MGIC can pay $89 million of ordinary dividends without OCI approval, before taking into consideration dividends paid in the preceding twelve months. MGIC paid a dividend to our holding company of $400 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. Future dividend payments from MGIC to the holding company will be determined in consultation with the board, and after considering any updated estimates about our business. We ask the Wisconsin OCI not to object before MGIC pays dividends to the holding company.

Debt at Subsidiaries

MGIC did not have any outstanding debt obligations at June 30, 2026. MGIC is a member of the FHLB, which provides MGIC access to an additional source of liquidity via a secured lending facility. We may borrow from the FHLB at any time.

Capital Adequacy

PMIERs

As of June 30, 2026, MGIC’s Available Assets under the PMIERs totaled approximately $5.6 billion, an excess of approximately $2.7 billion over its Minimum Required Assets; and MGIC is in compliance with the requirements of the PMIERs and eligible to insure loans delivered to or purchased by the GSEs.

The table below presents the PMIERS capital credit for our reinsurance transactions.

The total calculated PMIERs credit for risk ceded under our XOL Transactions are based on the PMIERs requirement of the covered policies and the attachment and detachment points of the coverage, all of which fluctuate over time. (See Note 1 - “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation” and Note 7 - “Reinsurance”.)

The PMIERs generally require us to hold significantly more Minimum Required Assets for delinquent loans than for performing loans and the Minimum Required Assets increases as the number of payments missed on a delinquent loan increases. Refer to “Overview - PMIERs” of this MD&A and our risk factor titled“We may not continue to meet the GSEs’ private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements and our returns may decrease if we are required to maintain more capital in order to maintain our eligibility”in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further discussion of PMIERs.

Risk-to-Capital

We compute our risk-to-capital ratio on a separate company statutory basis, as well as on a combined insurance operations basis. The risk-to-capital ratio is our net RIF divided by our policyholders’ position. Our net RIF includes both primary and pool risk in force, net of reinsurance and excludes risk on policies that are currently in default and for which case loss reserves have been established and the risk covered by reinsurance. MGIC’s policyholders’ position consists primarily of statutory policyholders’ surplus (which generally changes due to statutory net income/loss and dividends paid, among other things), plus the statutory contingency loss reserve. The statutory contingency loss reserve is reported as a liability on the statutory balance sheet. A mortgage insurance company is required to make annual additions to a contingency loss reserve of approximately 50% of earned premiums. These contributions must generally be maintained for a period of ten years. However, with regulatory approval a mortgage insurance company may make early withdrawals from the contingency loss reserve when incurred losses exceed 35% of earned premiums in a calendar year.

The table below presents our risk-to-capital calculation:

(1)RIF – net, as shown in the table above is net of reinsurance and exposure on policies currently delinquent ($1.4 billion at June 30, 2026 and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2025) for which loss reserves have been established.

For additional information regarding regulatory capital see Note 13 – “Statutory Information” to our consolidated financial statements as well as our Risk Factor titled“State Capital requirements may prevent us from continuing to write new insurance on an uninterrupted basis”in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
