(NYSE: AGO) (AGL and, together with its subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty or the Company) announced today its financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 (third quarter 2024).\n\"Assured Guaranty has continued to build both shareholder and policyholder value this year,\" said Dominic Frederico, President and CEO. \"Shareholders’ equity per share on September 30, 2024 was a record $111.09. Adjusted book value per share also set a record at $166.47, as did adjusted operating shareholders’ equity per share at $113.96. For the first three quarters, net income has increased to $6.44 per share, up 8% year-over-year, and adjusted operating income reached $5.80 per share, up 13% year-over-year.\n\"New business production has been strong this year. GWP and PVP for the first three quarters reached $254 million and $281 million, respectively, which were $33 million and $32 million higher than for last year’s comparable period. Municipal production benefited from greater overall issuance and solid investor demand. We also saw significant contributions from our non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance businesses. After the merger of AGM into AG (formerly AGC) in the third quarter, we believe the new AG is positioned for significant growth, as we pursue further expansion into new product and geographic markets.\n\"In our capital management program, as of November 8, 2024, the Company had repurchased 10% of the shares that were outstanding on December 31, 2023, and in November our board authorized an additional $250 million of share repurchases.\"\n\n\n\n(1)\n\nAll per share information for net income and adjusted operating income is based on diluted shares.\n\n\n(2)\n\nPlease see \"Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummary Financial Results(in millions, except per share amounts)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n\n2024\n\n\n\n2023\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGAAP (1)\n\n\n\n\n\nNet income (loss) attributable to AGL\n$\n171\n\n\n$\n157\n\n\n\nNet income (loss) attributable to AGL per diluted share\n$\n3.17\n\n\n$\n2.60\n\n\n\nWeighted average diluted shares\n\n53.4\n\n\n\n59.6\n\n\n\nNon-GAAP\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjusted operating income (loss) (2)\n$\n130\n\n\n$\n206\n\n\n\nAdjusted operating income per diluted share (2)\n$\n2.42\n\n\n$\n3.42\n\n\n\nWeighted average diluted shares\n\n53.4\n\n\n\n59.6\n\n\n\nGain (loss) related to FG VIE and CIV consolidation (3) included in adjusted operating income\n$\n(7\n)\n\n$\n(8\n)\n\n\nGain (loss) related to FG VIE and CIV consolidation included in adjusted operating income per share\n$\n(0.12\n)\n\n$\n(0.13\n)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComponents of total adjusted operating income (loss)\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurance segment\n$\n162\n\n\n$\n59\n\n\n\nAsset Management segment\n\n4\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\nCorporate division\n\n(29\n)\n\n\n155\n\n\n\nOther\n\n(7\n)\n\n\n(8\n)\n\n\nAdjusted operating income (loss)\n$\n130\n\n\n$\n206\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAs of\n\n\n\nSeptember 30, 2024\n\nDecember 31, 2023\n\n\n\nAmount\n\nPer Share\n\nAmount\n\nPer Share\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShareholders’ equity attributable to AGL\n$\n5,728\n\n$\n111.09\n\n$\n5,713\n\n$\n101.63\n\n\nAdjusted operating shareholders’ equity (2)\n\n5,875\n\n\n113.96\n\n\n5,990\n\n\n106.54\n\n\nABV (2)\n\n8,582\n\n\n166.47\n\n\n8,765\n\n\n155.92\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommon Shares Outstanding\n\n51.6\n\n\n\n\n56.2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n________________________________________________\n\n\n(1)\n\nGenerally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.\n\n\n(2)\n\nPlease see \"Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures\" at the end of this press release.\n\n\n(3)\n\nThe effect of consolidating financial guaranty (FG) variable interest entities (VIEs) and consolidated investment vehicles (CIVs).\n\n\n\nOn a per share basis, shareholders’ equity attributable to AGL increased to $111.09 as of September 30, 2024 from $101.63 as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to net income, unrealized gains in the investment portfolio and share repurchases, partially offset by dividends. On a per share basis, ABV increased to $166.47 primarily due to adjusted operating income, new business production and share repurchases, partially offset by dividends.\nInsurance Segment\nThe Insurance segment primarily consists of (i) the Company’s insurance subsidiaries that provide credit protection products to the United States (U.S.) and non-U.S. public finance (including infrastructure) and structured finance markets, excluding the effect of VIE consolidations, and (ii) Assured Guaranty Inc.’s (AG, formerly Assured Guaranty Corp.) investment subsidiary.\nInsurance Segment New Business Production\n\n\n\nInsurance SegmentNew Business Production(in millions)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended September 30,\n\n\n\n2024\n\n2023\n\n\n\nGWP\n\nPVP (1)\n\nGross ParWritten (2)\n\nGWP\n\nPVP (1)\n\nGross ParWritten (2)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic finance - U.S.\n$\n35\n\n$\n34\n\n$\n5,387\n\n$\n29\n\n\n$\n30\n\n$\n5,098\n\n\nPublic finance - non-U.S.\n\n7\n\n\n10\n\n\n665\n\n\n(5\n)\n\n\n2\n\n\n61\n\n\nStructured finance - U.S.\n\n4\n\n\n5\n\n\n551\n\n\n15\n\n\n\n12\n\n\n267\n\n\nStructured finance - non-U.S.\n\n15\n\n\n14\n\n\n834\n\n\n1\n\n\n\n2\n\n\n522\n\n\nTotal\n$\n61\n\n$\n63\n\n$\n7,437\n\n$\n40\n\n\n$\n46\n\n$\n5,948\n\n\n\n\n\n\n________________________________________________\n\n\n(1)\n\nPVP, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the value of the Insurance segment’s new business production for all contracts regardless of form or GAAP accounting model. See \"Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures\" at the end of this press release. PVP is based on \"close date,\" when the transaction settles. PVP was discounted at 5.0% in third quarter 2024 and 4.0% in the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 (third quarter 2023).\n\n\n(2)\n\nGross Par Written is based on \"close date,\" when the transaction settles.\n\n\n\nU.S. public finance GWP and PVP in third quarter 2024 were higher than the comparable GWP and PVP in third quarter 2023, primarily due to an increase in insured par and higher premium rates on primary market transactions. The Company’s direct par written represented 60% of the total U.S. municipal market insured issuance in third quarter 2024, compared with 61% in third quarter 2023, and the Company’s penetration of all municipal issuance was 4.2% in third quarter 2024 compared with 4.6% in third quarter 2023.\nIn third quarter 2024, non-U.S. public finance GWP and PVP were higher than GWP and PVP in third quarter 2023, primarily due to guaranties of several United Kingdom (U.K.) regulated utility and airport transactions in third quarter 2024.\nGlobal structured finance GWP and PVP in third quarter 2024 were higher than the comparable GWP and PVP in third quarter 2023. In third quarter 2024, the Company insured a transaction in Australia that provided protection on an approximately $600 million core lending portfolio for an Australian bank.\nInsurance Segment Adjusted Operating Income\nInsurance segment adjusted operating income increased to $162 million in third quarter 2024 from $59 million in third quarter 2023, primarily due to a benefit in loss expense in third quarter 2024. This was offset in part by lower net investment income and a $6 million write-off of insurance licenses in connection with the merger of the U.S. insurance subsidiaries Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. and AG on August 1, 2024.\n\n\n\nInsurance Segment Results(in millions)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n\n2024\n\n\n\n2023\n\n\n\nSegment revenues\n\n\n\n\n\nNet earned premiums and credit derivative revenues\n$\n101\n\n\n$\n99\n\n\n\nNet investment income\n\n82\n\n\n\n101\n\n\n\nFair value gains (losses) on trading securities\n\n9\n\n\n\n4\n\n\n\nForeign exchange gains (losses) on remeasurement\n\n1\n\n\n\n(2\n)\n\n\nOther income (loss)\n\n11\n\n\n\n6\n\n\n\nTotal segment revenues\n\n204\n\n\n\n208\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSegment expenses\n\n\n\n\n\nLoss expense (benefit)\n\n(53\n)\n\n\n101\n\n\n\nAmortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC)\n\n5\n\n\n\n4\n\n\n\nEmployee compensation and benefit expenses\n\n40\n\n\n\n37\n\n\n\nOther operating expenses\n\n36\n\n\n\n23\n\n\n\nTotal segment expenses\n\n28\n\n\n\n165\n\n\n\nEquity in earnings (losses) of investees\n\n28\n\n\n\n25\n\n\n\nSegment adjusted operating income (loss) before income taxes\n\n204\n\n\n\n68\n\n\n\nLess: Provision (benefit) for income taxes\n\n42\n\n\n\n9\n\n\n\nSegment adjusted operating income (loss)\n$\n162\n\n\n$\n59\n\n\n\n\nThe components of the Insurance segment’s premiums, losses and income from the investment portfolio are presented below.\nInsurance Segment Net Earned Premiums and Credit Derivative Revenues\n\n\n\nInsurance SegmentNet Earned Premiums and Credit Derivative Revenues(in millions)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n2024\n\n2023\n\n\nScheduled net earned premiums and credit derivative revenues\n$\n87\n\n$\n84\n\n\nAccelerations\n\n14\n\n\n15\n\n\nTotal\n$\n101\n\n$\n99\n\n\n\nInsurance Segment Loss Expense (Benefit) and the Roll Forward of Expected Losses\nLoss expense is a function of net economic loss development (benefit) and deferred premium revenue.

Net economic loss development (benefit) is the principal measure that the Company uses to evaluate the loss experience in its insured portfolio. Expected loss to be paid (recovered) includes all transactions insured by the Company, regardless of the accounting model prescribed under GAAP and without consideration of deferred premium revenue.\n\n\n\nThe net economic benefit was $34 million in third quarter 2024, and was primarily attributable to improved recovery assumptions in U.S. RMBS and improvements in certain healthcare transactions, offset in part by an increase in expected losses on certain U.K. regulated utilities. The effect of changes in risk-free rates used to discount expected losses was a loss of $3 million.\nInsurance Segment Income from Investment Portfolio\n\n\n\nInsurance SegmentIncome from Investment Portfolio(in millions)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n2024\n\n2023\n\n\nNet investment income\n$\n82\n\n$\n101\n\n\nFair value gains (losses) on trading securities (1)\n\n9\n\n\n4\n\n\nEquity in earnings (losses) of investees (2)\n\n28\n\n\n25\n\n\nTotal\n$\n119\n\n$\n130\n\n\n\n\n\n\n________________________________________________\n\n\n(1)\n\nPrimarily includes contingent value instruments issued by Puerto Rico.\n\n\n(2)\n\nEquity in earnings (losses) of investees primarily relates to funds managed by Sound Point Capital Management, LP and certain of its investment management subsidiaries (Sound Point) and Assured Healthcare Partners, LLC (AHP). Investments in funds are reported on a one-quarter lag.\n\n\n\nNet investment income, which represents interest income on available-for-sale fixed-maturity debt and short-term investments, decreased to $82 million in third quarter 2024 from $101 million in third quarter 2023 primarily due to lower income on loss mitigation securities.\nAs of September 30, 2024, the Insurance segment had $720 million in alternative investments. In the Insurance segment, alternative investments consist primarily of funds managed by Sound Point and AHP, and are generally recorded at net asset value (NAV), with changes in NAV reported in \"equity in earnings (losses) of investees.\" Equity in earnings of investees is more volatile than net investment income on available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities and short-term investments. To the extent that the amounts invested in alternative fund investments increase and available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities decrease, net investment income may decline and mark-to-market volatility related to equity in earnings of investees may increase.\nThe inception-to-date annualized internal rate of return for all alternative investments, which are primarily in the Insurance segment and Corporate division, was approximately 13%.\nAsset Management Segment\nSince July 2023, the Company participates in the asset management business through its ownership interest in Sound Point. In third quarter 2024 asset management adjusted operating income of $4 million was primarily due to the Company’s ownership interest in Sound Point, including the amortization of intangible assets, as well as certain ongoing performance fees. Sound Point’s results are reported on a one quarter lag and are included in \"equity in earnings (losses) of investees.\"\nCorporate Division\n\n\n\nCorporate Division Results(in millions)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n\n2024\n\n\n2023\n\n\nRevenues\n\n\n\n\n\nGain on sale of asset management subsidiaries\n$\n—\n\n\n$\n255\n\n\nOther\n\n4\n\n\n\n4\n\n\nTotal revenues\n\n4\n\n\n\n259\n\n\nExpenses\n\n\n\n\n\nInterest expense\n\n24\n\n\n\n26\n\n\nEmployee compensation and benefit expenses\n\n7\n\n\n\n10\n\n\nOther operating expenses\n\n6\n\n\n\n21\n\n\nTotal expenses\n\n37\n\n\n\n57\n\n\nAdjusted operating income (loss) before income taxes\n\n(33\n)\n\n\n202\n\n\nLess: Provision (benefit) for income taxes\n\n(4\n)\n\n\n47\n\n\nAdjusted operating income (loss)\n$\n(29\n)\n\n$\n155\n\n\n\nCorporate division adjusted operating income in third quarter 2023 included a pre-tax gain resulting from the Sound Point and AHP transactions of $241 million, which was net of $14 million in transaction costs (primarily advisory and legal expenses reported in other operating expenses).\nAs part of the share redemption that occurred on August 5, 2024, AG transferred certain alternative investments to Assured Guaranty Municipal Holdings Inc., whose results are now reported in the corporate division.\nReconciliation to GAAP\nThe following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to AGL to adjusted operating income (loss).\n\n\n\nReconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to AGL toAdjusted Operating Income (Loss)(in millions, except per share amounts)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\nSeptember 30,\n\n\n\n2024\n\n2023\n\n\n\nTotal\n\nPer DilutedShare\n\nTotal\n\nPer DilutedShare\n\n\nNet income (loss) attributable to AGL\n$\n171\n\n\n$\n3.17\n\n\n$\n157\n\n\n$\n2.60\n\n\n\nLess pre-tax adjustments:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRealized gains (losses) on investments\n\n—\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n(9\n)\n\n\n(0.16\n)\n\n\nNon-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains (losses) on credit derivatives\n\n(2\n)\n\n\n(0.03\n)\n\n\n6\n\n\n\n0.12\n\n\n\nFair value gains (losses) on committed capital securities (CCS)\n\n(3\n)\n\n\n(0.06\n)\n\n\n(20\n)\n\n\n(0.33\n)\n\n\nForeign exchange gains (losses) on remeasurement of premiums receivable and loss and loss adjustment expense (LAE) reserves\n\n54\n\n\n\n1.00\n\n\n\n(37\n)\n\n\n(0.61\n)\n\n\nTotal pre-tax adjustments\n\n49\n\n\n\n0.91\n\n\n\n(60\n)\n\n\n(0.98\n)\n\n\nLess tax effect on pre-tax adjustments\n\n(8\n)\n\n\n(0.16\n)\n\n\n11\n\n\n\n0.16\n\n\n\nAdjusted operating income (loss)\n$\n130\n\n\n$\n2.42\n\n\n$\n206\n\n\n$\n3.42\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGain (loss) related to FG VIE and CIV consolidation included in adjusted operating income\n$\n(7\n)\n\n$\n(0.12\n)\n\n$\n(8\n)\n\n$\n(0.13\n)\n\n\n\nNon-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains on credit derivatives in third quarter 2023 were primarily generated by lower collateral asset spreads. Except for credit impairment, the fair value adjustments on credit derivatives in the insured portfolio are non-economic adjustments that reverse to zero over the remaining term of that portfolio.\nFair value losses on CCS in both periods were primarily due to a tightening in market spreads. Fair value of CCS is heavily affected by, and in part fluctuates with, changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and other market factors and is not expected to result in an economic gain or loss.\nForeign exchange gains (losses) primarily relate to the remeasurement of premiums receivable and are mainly due to changes in the exchange rate relative to the U.S. dollar of the pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, the euro.\nCommon Share Repurchases\nOn November 8, 2024, AGL’s Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the repurchase of an additional $250 million of the Company’s common shares. From the beginning of the repurchase program in 2013 through November 8, 2024, the Company has repurchased a total of 150 million common shares for $5.3 billion, representing approximately 77% of the total shares outstanding as of January 1, 2013.

Financial measures identified as non-GAAP should not be considered substitutes for GAAP financial measures. The primary limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is the potential lack of comparability to financial measures of other companies, whose definitions of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of the Company.\nThe Company believes its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides information that is necessary for analysts to calculate their estimates of Assured Guaranty’s financial results in their research reports on Assured Guaranty and for investors, analysts and the financial news media to evaluate Assured Guaranty’s financial results.\nGAAP requires the Company to consolidate entities where it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary which include:\n\nFG VIEs, which the Company does not own and where its exposure is limited to its obligation under the financial guaranty insurance contract, and\nCIVs in which certain subsidiaries invest.\n\nThe Company discloses the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation that is embedded in each non-GAAP financial measure, as applicable. The Company believes this information may also be useful to analysts and investors evaluating Assured Guaranty’s financial results. In the case of both the consolidated FG VIEs and the CIVs, the economic effect on the Company of each of the consolidated FG VIEs and CIVs is reflected primarily in the results of the Insurance segment.\nManagement of the Company and AGL’s Board of Directors use non-GAAP financial measures further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation (which the Company refers to as its core financial measures), as well as GAAP financial measures and other factors, to evaluate the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and progress towards long-term goals. The Company uses core financial measures in its decision-making process for and in its calculation of certain components of management compensation. The financial measures that the Company uses to help determine compensation are: (1) adjusted operating income, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation; (2) adjusted operating shareholders’ equity, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation; (3) adjusted book value per share, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation; and (4) PVP.\nManagement believes that many investors, analysts and financial news reporters use adjusted operating shareholders’ equity and/or adjusted book value, each further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation, as the principal financial measures for valuing AGL’s current share price or projected share price and also as the basis of their decision to recommend, buy or sell AGL’s common shares. Management also believes that many of the Company’s fixed income investors also use adjusted operating shareholders’ equity, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation, to evaluate the Company’s capital adequacy.\nAdjusted operating income, further adjusted for the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation, enables investors and analysts to evaluate the Company’s financial results in comparison with the consensus analyst estimates distributed publicly by financial databases.\nThe following paragraphs define each non-GAAP financial measure disclosed by the Company and describe why it is useful. To the extent there is a directly comparable GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below.\nAdjusted Operating Income\nManagement believes that adjusted operating income is a useful measure because it clarifies the understanding of the operating results of the Company. Adjusted operating income is defined as net income (loss) attributable to AGL, as reported under GAAP, adjusted for the following:\n1) Elimination of realized gains (losses) on the Company’s investments, except for gains and losses on securities classified as trading. The timing of realized gains and losses, which depends largely on market credit cycles, can vary considerably across periods. The timing of sales is largely subject to the Company’s discretion and influenced by market opportunities, as well as the Company’s tax and capital profile.\n2) Elimination of non-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains (losses) on credit derivatives that are recognized in net income, which is the amount of unrealized fair value gains (losses) in excess of the present value of the expected estimated economic credit losses, and non-economic payments. Such fair value adjustments are heavily affected by, and in part fluctuate with, changes in market interest rates, the Company’s credit spreads, and other market factors and are not expected to result in an economic gain or loss.\n3) Elimination of fair value gains (losses) on the Company’s CCS that are recognized in net income. Such amounts are affected by changes in market interest rates, the Company’s credit spreads, price indications on the Company’s publicly traded debt and other market factors and are not expected to result in an economic gain or loss.\n4) Elimination of foreign exchange gains (losses) on remeasurement of net premium receivables and loss and LAE reserves that are recognized in net income. Long-dated receivables and loss and LAE reserves represent the present value of future contractual or expected cash flows. Therefore, the current period’s foreign exchange remeasurement gains (losses) are not necessarily indicative of the total foreign exchange gains (losses) that the Company will ultimately recognize.\n5) The tax effects related to the above adjustments, which are determined by applying the statutory tax rate in each of the jurisdictions that generate these adjustments.\nSee \"Reconciliation to GAAP\" above for a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to AGL to adjusted operating income (loss).\nAdjusted Operating Shareholders’ Equity and Adjusted Book Value\nManagement believes that adjusted operating shareholders’ equity is a useful measure because it excludes the fair value adjustments on investments, credit derivatives and CCS that are not expected to result in economic gain or loss.\nAdjusted operating shareholders’ equity is defined as shareholders’ equity attributable to AGL, as reported under GAAP, adjusted for the following:\n1) Elimination of non-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains (losses) on credit derivatives, which is the amount of unrealized fair value gains (losses) in excess of the present value of the expected estimated economic credit losses, and non-economic payments. Such fair value adjustments are heavily affected by, and in part fluctuate with, changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and other market factors and are not expected to result in an economic gain or loss.\n2) Elimination of fair value gains (losses) on the Company’s CCS. Such amounts are affected by changes in market interest rates, the Company’s credit spreads, price indications on the Company’s publicly traded debt and other market factors and are not expected to result in an economic gain or loss.\n3) Elimination of unrealized gains (losses) on the Company’s investments that are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The AOCI component of the fair value adjustment on the investment portfolio is not deemed economic because the Company generally holds these investments to maturity and therefore would not recognize an economic gain or loss.\n4) The tax effects related to the above adjustments, which are determined by applying the statutory tax rate in each of the jurisdictions that generate these adjustments.\nManagement uses adjusted book value, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation, to measure the intrinsic value of the Company, excluding franchise value. Adjusted book value per share, further adjusted for FG VIE and CIV consolidation (core adjusted book value), is one of the key financial measures used in determining the amount of certain long-term compensation elements to management and employees and used by rating agencies and investors. Management believes that adjusted book value is a useful measure because it enables an evaluation of the Company’s in-force premiums and revenues net of expected losses. Adjusted book value is adjusted operating shareholders’ equity, as defined above, further adjusted for the following:\n1) Elimination of deferred acquisition costs, net. These amounts represent net deferred expenses that have already been paid or accrued and will be expensed in future accounting periods.\n2) Addition of the net present value of estimated net future revenue. See below.\n3) Addition of the deferred premium revenue on financial guaranty contracts in excess of expected loss to be expensed, net of reinsurance. This amount represents the present value of the expected future net earned premiums, net of the present value of expected losses to be expensed, which are not reflected in GAAP equity.\n4) The tax effects related to the above adjustments, which are determined by applying the statutory tax rate in each of the jurisdictions that generate these adjustments.\nThe unearned premiums and revenues included in adjusted book value will be earned in future periods, but actual earnings may differ materially from the estimated amounts used in determining current adjusted book value due to changes in foreign exchange rates, prepayment speeds, terminations, credit defaults and other factors.\n\n\n\nReconciliation of Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to AGL toAdjusted Operating Shareholders’ Equity and ABV(in millions, except per share amounts)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAs of\n\n\n\nSeptember 30, 2024\n\nDecember 31, 2023\n\n\n\nTotal\n\nPer Share\n\nTotal\n\nPer Share\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShareholders’ equity attributable to AGL\n$\n5,728\n\n\n$\n111.09\n\n\n$\n5,713\n\n\n$\n101.63\n\n\n\nLess pre-tax adjustments:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains (losses) on credit derivatives\n\n45\n\n\n\n0.89\n\n\n\n34\n\n\n\n0.61\n\n\n\nFair value gains (losses) on CCS\n\n1\n\n\n\n0.02\n\n\n\n13\n\n\n\n0.22\n\n\n\nUnrealized gain (loss) on investment portfolio\n\n(211\n)\n\n\n(4.10\n)\n\n\n(361\n)\n\n\n(6.40\n)\n\n\nLess taxes\n\n18\n\n\n\n0.32\n\n\n\n37\n\n\n\n0.66\n\n\n\nAdjusted operating shareholders’ equity\n\n5,875\n\n\n\n113.96\n\n\n\n5,990\n\n\n\n106.54\n\n\n\nPre-tax adjustments:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLess: DAC\n\n172\n\n\n\n3.33\n\n\n\n161\n\n\n\n2.87\n\n\n\nPlus: Net present value of estimated net future revenue\n\n189\n\n\n\n3.67\n\n\n\n199\n\n\n\n3.54\n\n\n\nPlus: Net deferred premium revenue on financial guaranty contracts in excess of expected loss to be expensed\n\n3,370\n\n\n\n65.35\n\n\n\n3,436\n\n\n\n61.12\n\n\n\nPlus taxes\n\n(680\n)\n\n\n(13.18\n)\n\n\n(699\n)\n\n\n(12.41\n)\n\n\nABV\n$\n8,582\n\n\n$\n166.47\n\n\n$\n8,765\n\n\n$\n155.92\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGain (loss) related to FG VIE and CIV consolidation included in:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjusted operating shareholders’ equity\n$\n(5\n)\n\n$\n(0.08\n)\n\n$\n5\n\n\n$\n0.07\n\n\n\nABV\n\n(9\n)\n\n\n(0.17\n)\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShares outstanding at the end of the period\n\n51.6\n\n\n\n\n\n56.2\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNet Present Value of Estimated Net Future Revenue\nManagement believes that this amount is a useful measure because it enables an evaluation of the present value of estimated net future revenue for non-financial guaranty insurance contracts. This amount represents the net present value of estimated future revenue from these contracts (other than credit derivatives with net expected losses), net of reinsurance, ceding commissions and premium taxes.\nFuture installment premiums are discounted at the approximate average pre-tax book yield of fixed-maturity securities purchased during the prior calendar year, other than Loss Mitigation Securities. The discount rate is recalculated annually and updated as necessary. Net present value of estimated future revenue for an obligation may change from period to period due to a change in the discount rate or due to a change in estimated net future revenue for the obligation, which may change due to changes in foreign exchange rates, prepayment speeds, terminations, credit defaults or other factors that affect par outstanding or the ultimate maturity of an obligation. There is no corresponding GAAP financial measure.\nPVP or Present Value of New Business Production\nManagement believes that PVP is a useful measure because it enables the evaluation of the value of new business production in the Insurance segment by taking into account the value of estimated future installment premiums on all new contracts underwritten in a reporting period as well as additional installment premiums and fees on existing contracts (which may result from supplements or fees or from the issuer not calling an insured obligation the Company projected would be called), regardless of form, which management believes GAAP gross written premiums and changes in fair value of credit derivatives do not adequately measure. PVP in respect of contracts written in a specified period is defined as gross upfront and installment premiums received and the present value of gross estimated future installment premiums.\nFuture installment premiums are discounted at the approximate average pre-tax book yield of fixed-maturity securities purchased during the prior calendar year, other than certain fixed-maturity securities such as Loss Mitigation Securities. The discount rate is recalculated annually and updated as necessary. Under GAAP, financial guaranty installment premiums are discounted at a risk-free rate. Additionally, under GAAP, management records future installment premiums on financial guaranty insurance contracts covering non-homogeneous pools of assets based on the contractual term of the transaction, whereas for PVP purposes, management records an estimate of the future installment premiums the Company expects to receive, which may be based upon a shorter period of time than the contractual term of the transaction.\nActual installment premiums may differ from those estimated in the Company’s PVP calculation due to factors including, but not limited to, changes in foreign exchange rates, prepayment speeds, terminations, credit defaults or other factors that affect par outstanding or the ultimate maturity of an obligation.\n\n\n\nReconciliation of GWP to PVP(in millions)\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\n\nSeptember 30, 2024\n\n\n\n\nPublic Finance\n\nStructured Finance\n\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S.\n\nNon - U.S.\n\nU.S.\n\nNon - U.S.\n\nTotal\n\n\nGWP\n\n$\n35\n\n$\n7\n\n\n$\n4\n\n$\n15\n\n$\n61\n\n\nLess: Installment GWP and other GAAP adjustments (1)\n\n\n2\n\n\n(1\n)\n\n\n2\n\n\n15\n\n\n18\n\n\nUpfront GWP\n\n\n33\n\n\n8\n\n\n\n2\n\n\n—\n\n\n43\n\n\nPlus: Installment premiums and other (2)\n\n\n1\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n3\n\n\n14\n\n\n20\n\n\nPVP\n\n$\n34\n\n$\n10\n\n\n$\n5\n\n$\n14\n\n$\n63\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuarter Ended\n\n\n\n\nSeptember 30, 2023\n\n\n\n\nPublic Finance\n\nStructured Finance\n\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S.\n\nNon - U.S.\n\nU.S.\n\nNon - U.S.\n\nTotal\n\n\nGWP\n\n$\n29\n\n$\n(5\n)\n\n$\n15\n\n$\n1\n\n$\n40\n\n\nLess: Installment GWP and other GAAP adjustments (1)\n\n\n6\n\n\n(5\n)\n\n\n15\n\n\n1\n\n\n17\n\n\nUpfront GWP\n\n\n23\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n—\n\n\n23\n\n\nPlus: Installment premiums and other (2)\n\n\n7\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n12\n\n\n2\n\n\n23\n\n\nPVP\n\n$\n30\n\n$\n2\n\n\n$\n12\n\n$\n2\n\n$\n46\n\n\n\n\n\n\n________________________________________________\n\n\n(1)\n\nIncludes the present value of new business on installment policies discounted at the prescribed GAAP discount rates, GWP adjustments on existing installment policies due to changes in assumptions and other GAAP adjustments.\n\n\n(2)\n\nIncludes the present value of future premiums and fees on new business paid in installments, discounted at the approximate average pre-tax book yield of fixed-maturity securities purchased during the prior calendar year, other than certain fixed-maturity securities such as Loss Mitigation Securities.
