Assured Guaranty Ltd. (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, 2025 (third quarter 2025).

"Assured Guaranty continued to build shareholder value during the third quarter and first nine months of 2025. We attained record highs for shareholders' equity, adjusted operating shareholders' equity and adjusted book value on a per-share basis. Year-to-date through September 30, 2025, Assured Guaranty has earned net income of $7.73 per share, 20% higher than in last year's comparable period, and adjusted operating income of $6.77 per share, up 17%.

"Par sold in the U.S. public finance market for the first nine months of the year reached a record level for a first nine months period. We guaranteed $21 billion of total par, which included four times the par amount of municipal secondary market policies than we wrote in the first three quarters of last year.

"Third quarter production was strong. Our three financial guaranty businesses – U.S. public finance, non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance – together produced $75 million of GWP and $91 million of PVP in third quarter 2025. GWP increased by 23%, while PVP increased by 44%, compared with the third quarter of last year, and also increased 25% and 77%, respectively, compared with the average GWP and PVP for the first two quarters of 2025. The increases in third quarter 2025 over the averages for the first two quarters were largely due to a resurgence of triple-B municipal issuance, where we insured a number of larger transactions.

"We also saw positive results in our loss development during the third quarter, with a net economic benefit of $38 million primarily related to legacy RMBS exposure and non-U.S. public finance exposure.

"In capital management, as of November 5, 2025, the Company had repurchased 9.7% of the shares that were outstanding on December 31, 2024. On November 5, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million of common shares."

On a per share basis, shareholders' equity attributable to AGL increased to $121.13 as of September 30, 2025 from $108.80 as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to net income, unrealized gains on the investment portfolio and share repurchases, partially offset by dividends. On a per share basis, ABV increased to $181.37 as of September 30, 2025 from $170.12 as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to adjusted operating income, new business production and share repurchases, partially offset by dividends.

Insurance Segment

The 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 variable interest entity (VIE) consolidations, and (ii) Assured Guaranty Inc.'s (AG, formerly Assured Guaranty Corp.) investment subsidiary, AG Asset Strategies LLC.

______________________________
(1)		PVP, 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 both third quarter 2025 and in the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 (third quarter 2024).
(2)		Gross Par Written is based on "close date," when the transaction settles.

The increase in U.S. public finance GWP and PVP in third quarter 2025 compared with third quarter 2024 was primarily attributable to several large transportation, health care and tax-backed transactions as well as higher GWP and PVP generated in the secondary market. The Company's primary par written represented 61% of the total municipal market insured par sold in third quarter 2025, compared with 60% in third quarter 2024, and the Company's penetration of all municipal issuance was 4.9% in third quarter 2025 compared with 4.2% in third quarter 2024.

In the U.S. public finance secondary market, GWP and PVP both increased to $10 million in third quarter 2025 compared with $2 million in third quarter 2024. The Company's par written in the secondary market represented 7.4% of U.S. public finance par written in third quarter 2025, compared with 3.9% in third quarter 2024.

GWP for non-U.S. public finance in third quarter 2025 was negative due to the early repayment of several United Kingdom (U.K.) sub-sovereign credits. In third quarter 2025, non-U.S. public finance GWP and PVP consisted of guaranties of regulated utilities.

Global structured finance GWP and PVP in third quarter 2025 primarily consisted of the upsize of a transaction providing protection on a core lending portfolio for an Australian bank, as well as subscription finance transactions.

Business activity in the non-U.S. public finance and structured finance markets often has long lead times and therefore may vary from period to period.

Insurance Segment Adjusted Operating Income

Insurance segment adjusted operating income decreased to $145 million in third quarter 2025 from $162 million in third quarter 2024, primarily due to a smaller, though still favorable development attributable to U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions in third quarter 2025 as compared with third quarter 2024.

______________________________
(1)		Net economic loss development (benefit) represents the change in net expected loss to be paid (recovered) attributable to the effects of changes in the economic performance of insured transactions, changes in assumptions based on observed market trends, changes in discount rates, accretion of discount and the economic effects of loss mitigation efforts, each net of reinsurance. 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.

Net economic loss development was a benefit in third quarter 2025 primarily consisting of a $26 million benefit related to higher assumed recoveries for charged-off second lien loans.

______________________________
(1)		Equity 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), Assured Healthcare Partners, LLC, and certain other managers. Investments in funds are reported on a one-quarter lag. AG transferred to Assured Guaranty Municipal Holdings Inc. (AGMH) certain alternative investments as part of a stock redemption on August 5, 2024. AG results are reported in the Insurance segment and AGMH results are reported in the Corporate division.
(2)		Certain collateralized loan obligation (CLO) equity tranche investments were reclassified to the available-for-sale fixed-maturity portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2024, with interest income now reported in net investment income, and changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income. The Company had previously held the CLO equity tranches in a Sound Point managed fund with changes in its net asset value reported in "equity in earnings (losses) of investees" in the Insurance segment.

Net investment income represents interest income on available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities and short-term investments, which had an overall pre-tax book yield of 4.80% as of September 30, 2025 and 4.10% as of September 30, 2024. The increase in net investment income in third quarter 2025 compared with third quarter 2024 is primarily due to a shift in the portfolio from municipal securities to higher yielding corporate securities, as well as the addition of investment income from CLO equity tranches that were reclassified as described in the notes to the table above, partially offset by lower investment income on the short-term investment portfolio as a result of lower short-term interest rates and lower short-term average investment balances.

Equity in earnings (losses) of investees decreased to $16 million in third quarter 2025 compared with $28 million in third quarter 2024, primarily due to the reclassification of certain CLO equity tranches to the available-for-sale portfolio as well as the transfer of certain alternative investments to the Corporate division as described in the notes to the table above. Equity in earnings (losses) of investees may be more volatile than net investment income on available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities and short-term investments, due to mark-to-market changes associated with certain alternative investments.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $945 million in alternative investments across a variety of asset classes: $775 million in the Insurance segment consisting primarily of CLO equity tranches in the available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities portfolio and investments in funds focused on asset classes such as private healthcare and asset-based/specialty finance, as well as alternative investments in the Corporate division consisting primarily of legacy investments. The inception-to-date annualized internal rate of return for all alternative investments across the Insurance segment and Corporate division was 13% as of September 30, 2025.

Asset Management Segment

Asset management adjusted operating income was $3 million in third quarter 2025 and $4 million in third quarter 2024. It includes the Company's ownership interest in Sound Point and the related amortization of intangible assets, as well as certain ongoing net performance fees. Sound Point's results are reported on a one-quarter lag and are included in "equity in earnings (losses) of investees."

(1)		The effect of consolidating financial guaranty (FG) VIEs and consolidated investment vehicles (CIVs).

Realized losses on investments in third quarter 2025 were primarily due to credit losses associated with alternative investments.

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.

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.

Foreign exchange gains (losses) primarily relate to remeasurement of premiums receivable and are mainly due to changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar of the pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, the euro.

Common Share Repurchases

On November 5, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million of the Company's common shares. From the beginning of the repurchase program in 2013 through November 5, 2025, the Company has repurchased a total of 155 million common shares for $5.8 billion, representing 80% of the total shares outstanding as of January 1, 2013. As of November 5, 2025, the Company was authorized to purchase $332 million of its common shares. These repurchases can be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company discloses both: (i) financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP; and (ii) financial measures not determined in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP financial measures). 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.

The 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.

GAAP requires the Company to consolidate entities where it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary which include FG VIEs, which the Company does not own and where its exposure is limited to its obligation under the financial guaranty insurance contract, and CIVs in which certain subsidiaries invest.

The 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.

The Company's management 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: (i) adjusted operating income per share, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation (core operating income per share); (ii) adjusted operating shareholders' equity per share, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation (core operating shareholders' equity per share); (iii) ABV per share, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation (core ABV per share); (iv) core operating return on equity, which is calculated as core operating income divided by the average of core operating shareholders' equity at the beginning and end of the period; and (v) PVP.

The Company's management believes that many investors, analysts and financial news reporters use adjusted operating shareholders' equity and/or ABV, 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.

Adjusted 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.

The 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.

Adjusted Operating Income

The Company's management 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:

1) Elimination of realized gains (losses) on the Company's investments that are recognized in net income (loss) attributable to AGL, 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.

2) Elimination of non-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains (losses) on credit derivatives that are recognized in net income (loss) attributable to AGL, which is the amount of fair value gains (losses) in excess of the present value of the expected estimated economic credit losses. 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.

3) Elimination of fair value gains (losses) on the Company's CCS that are recognized in net income (loss) attributable to AGL. 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.

4) Elimination of foreign exchange gains (losses) on remeasurement of net premium receivables and loss and LAE reserves that are recognized in net income (loss) attributable to AGL. 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.

5) 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.

Adjusted operating income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by the weighted average diluted shares. The method for calculating weighted average diluted shares is in accordance with GAAP. See "Reconciliation to GAAP" above for a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to AGL to adjusted operating income (loss).

Adjusted Operating Shareholders' Equity and ABV

The Company's management 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. The Company's management uses ABV, further adjusted to remove the effect of FG VIE and CIV consolidation, to measure the intrinsic value of the Company, excluding franchise value. The Company's management believes that ABV is a useful measure because it enables an evaluation of the Company's in-force premiums and revenues net of expected losses.

Adjusted operating shareholders' equity per share and ABV per share, each further adjusted for FG VIE and CIV consolidation (core operating shareholders' equity per share and core ABV per share, respectively), are two 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.

Adjusted operating shareholders' equity is defined as shareholders' equity attributable to AGL, as reported under GAAP, adjusted for the following:

1) Elimination of non-credit impairment-related unrealized fair value gains (losses) on credit derivatives that are reported on the consolidated balance sheet, which is the amount of unrealized fair value gains (losses) in excess of the present value of the expected estimated economic credit losses. 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.

2) Elimination of fair value gains (losses) on the Company's CCS that are reported on the consolidated balance sheet. 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.

3) 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 result in an economic gain or loss.

4) 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.

ABV is adjusted operating shareholders' equity, as defined above, further adjusted for the following:

1) 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.

2) Addition of the net present value of estimated net future revenue. See below.

3) 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.

4) 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.

Shares outstanding as of the end of the reporting period are used to calculate adjusted operating shareholders' equity per share and ABV per share.

The unearned premiums and revenues included in ABV will be earned in future periods, but actual earnings may differ materially from the estimated amounts used in determining current ABV due to changes in foreign exchange rates, prepayment speeds, terminations, credit defaults and other factors.

Net Present Value of Estimated Net Future Revenue

The Company's management 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.

Future 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.

PVP or Present Value of New Business Production

The Company's management 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 GWP 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.

Future 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.

Actual 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.
