Exhibit 99.1

MBIA Inc. Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) (the Company) today reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $491 million, or $(10.18) per diluted common share, for 2023 compared to a consolidated GAAP net loss of $195 million, or $(3.92) per diluted common share, for 2022. The greater net loss for 2023 primarily resulted from reduced consolidated revenues and adverse losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) for MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA Corp.).

Book value per share was negative $32.56 as of December 31, 2023 compared with negative $16.07 as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in book value per share was primarily due to the consolidated net loss for 2023 and the $8.00 per share dividend paid to shareholders on December 22, 2023.

The Company also reported an Adjusted Net Loss (a non-GAAP measure defined in the attached Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $169 million or $(3.49) per diluted common share for 2023 compared with an Adjusted Net Loss of $145 million or $(2.90) per diluted common share for 2022. The greater Adjusted Net Loss for 2023 was primarily due to National's greater losses and LAE, largely 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 also attached.

Statement from Company Representative

Bill Fallon, MBIA's Chief Executive Officer stated, "We were pleased to distribute value to our shareholders via the payment of the extraordinary dividend of $8.00 per share in December. MBIA Inc. retained about $235 million of National's fourth quarter 2023 dividend payments to enhance our holding company's liquidity position. Our focus remains on resolving our PREPA exposure and then resuming the process to sell the Company."

Fourth Quarter Results

The Company recorded a consolidated GAAP net loss of $138 million, or $(2.94) per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with a consolidated net loss of $52 million, or $(1.05) per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The greater net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to greater net realized investment losses for National and the Corporate segment and higher losses and LAE for MBIA Corp., which were primarily related to changes in interest rates resulting in greater losses for the fourth quarter of 2023 versus loss benefits for the fourth quarter of 2022 on insured RMBS transactions.

The Company reported an Adjusted Net Loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $8 million or $(0.16) per share compared with Adjusted Net Income of $15 million or $0.30 per share for the fourth quarter

of 2022. The adverse result for 2023 as compared to 2022 was largely due to adverse losses and LAE for National, primarily related to National's Puerto Rico exposure, lower net premiums earned for National and accelerated restricted stock expenses related to the payment of the December 22, 2023 extraordinary dividend to shareholders.

The words "believe,, "anticipate," "project," "plan," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "will," "will likely result," "looking forward," or "will continue," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

credit losses or impairments on public finance obligations issued by state, local and territorial governments and finance authorities that are experiencing unprecedented fiscal stress; the possibility that loss reserve estimates are not adequate to cover potential claims; MBIA Inc.'s or National's ability to fully implement their strategic plan; changes in general economic and competitive conditions; and the impact on our insured portfolios or business operations caused by the global spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. These and other factors that could affect financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying MBIA Inc.'s or National's forward-looking statements are discussed under the "Risk Factors" section in MBIA Inc.'s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which may be updated or amended in MBIA Inc.'s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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:

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).
