MILWAUKEE, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: MTG) has announced plans to release its 4^th quarter 2019 financial results before the market opens on Tuesday, February 4, 2020. A conference call/webcast has been scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company's results for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

Individuals interested in joining over the phone should dial 1-866-834-4126 ten minutes before the conference call begins.

MGIC also today issued an Operational Summary of its insurance subsidiaries for the month of December 2019 for their primary mortgage insurance. The summary is also available on the company's investor website under Newsroom, Press Releases. MGIC will no longer issue this data on a monthly basis going forward. Instead, MGIC intends to publish data about new delinquency notices, cures, and insurance in force on a quarterly basis in conjunction with the quarterly earnings release.

The information concerning new delinquency notices and cures is compiled from reports received from loan servicers. The level of new notice and cure activity reported in a particular month can be influenced by, among other things, the date on which a servicer generates its report, the accuracy of the data provided by servicers, the number of business days in a month, transfers of servicing between loan servicers, and whether all servicers have provided the reports in a given month.
