The decreases were due primarily to declines in new insurance written by U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations, partially offset by increases in new insurance written by PMI Australia. Combined insurance in force at September 30, 2004 was $254.3 billion, compared to $204.0 billion at September 30, 2003. The increase in combined insurance in force was the result of an increase in insurance in force for PMI Australia, PMI Europe's acquisition of the U.K. lenders' mortgage insurance portfolio from Royal & Sun Alliance ("R&SA") which closed in October October: see month.  2003, and growth in Domestic(2) primary insurance in force.

 net premiums written for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $187.0 million and $571.3 million respectively, compared to $175.3 million and $525.2 million for the same periods a year ago. The changes were the result of increases in net premiums written for International Operations Internal Operations (I.O., IO or I/O) is a fictional American Intelligence Agency in Wildstorm comics. It was originally called International Operations. I.O. first appeared in WildC.A.T.S. volume 1 #1 (August, 1992) and was created by Brandon Choi and Jim Lee.  and U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations. Consolidated premiums earned for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $195.1 million and $568.1 million respectively, compared to $170.3 million and $514.5 million for the same periods a year ago. The increase for the quarter and year-to-date was a result of increases in both premiums earned for U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations and International Operations.

Consolidated net investment income for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $42.0 million and $125.6 million respectively, compared to $35.4 million and $102.6 million for the same periods a year ago. The increases were a result of higher net investment income for International Operations, U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations and the Other segment due primarily to an increase in the investment portfolio for each segment as well as municipal bond refundings.

Consolidated losses and loss adjustment expenses for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $60.8 million and $177.2 million respectively, compared to $46.7 million and $149.7 million for the same periods a year ago. The increase for the quarter was due primarily to the change between the losses and loss adjustment expenses/(reversals) for PMI Australia for the third quarter 2003 of ($7.2) million compared to $0.4 million for the third quarter 2004 and higher losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred by U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations. The year-to-date increase was due primarily to the higher claims paid and increases to loss reserves by U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations.

Consolidated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses totaled $358.0 million at September 30, 2004, compared to $346.9 million at December December: see month.  31, 2003 and $335.9 million at September 30, 2003. The higher reserve total was led by increases for U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations and PMI Europe, with the latter due to the acquisition of the R&SA insurance portfolio.

 for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $46.7 million and $144.0 million respectively, compared to $45.8 million and $129.4 million for the same periods a year ago. The increases for the quarter and year-to-date were due primarily to the higher expenses for U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations and PMI Australia, partially offset by lower U.S. contract underwriting expenses.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations

Net income for U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $67.8 million and $184.7 million respectively, compared to $58.3 million and $186.1 million for the same periods a year ago. The increase for the quarter primarily was the result of increases in premiums earned and net investment income partially offset by increases in losses and loss adjustment expenses and other underwriting and operating expenses. The year-to-date decrease in net income was due primarily to increases in losses and loss adjustment expenses and other underwriting and operating expenses, including a field operations restructuring charge restructuring charge

The expense of reorganizing a company's operations. A restructuring charge is an infrequent expense that generally results from asset writedowns or facility closings.
 of $2.9 million, partially offset by increases in premiums earned and net investment income.

Net premiums written for U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $143.7 million and $444.2 million respectively, compared to $138.3 million and $432.2 million for the same periods a year ago. Premiums earned for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $162.3 million and $465.7 million respectively, compared to $146.1 million and $447.6 million for the same periods a year ago. The increases in net premiums written and premiums earned were due primarily to the increase in the average premium rate as a result of a higher percentage of policies with deeper coverage, a higher percentage of policies on adjustable rate mortgages This article is about the US mortgage type. For an international perspective, see Variable rate mortgage.

An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is a mortgage loan where the interest rate on the note is periodically adjusted based on an index.
 and a higher proportion of mortgages with higher loan to value ratios, all compared to the same period a year ago. The $16.2 million and $18.1 million increases in premiums earned for the quarter and year-to-date respectively, were also partially the result of $7.8 million in premiums earned related to loan cancellations reported in the third quarter under a single premium non-refundable policy executed executed 1) adj. to have been completed. (Example: "it is an executed contract") 2) v. to have completed or fully performed. (Example: "he executed all the promises made in the contract") 3) v.  in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Net investment income for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $24.3 million and $76.7 million respectively, compared to $22.0 million and $67.5 million for the same periods a year ago. The increases were due primarily to increases in the investment portfolio and municipal bond refundings.

The equity in earnings from CMG Mortgage Insurance Company for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $2.4 million (after tax) and $7.0 million (after tax) respectively, compared to $2.0 million (after tax) and $6.4 million (after tax) for the same periods a year ago.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $60.1 million and $174.8 million respectively, compared to $53.4 million and $156.5 million for the same periods a year ago. The increase for the quarter was due primarily to an increase in primary claims paid. The year-to-date increase was due primarily to increases in primary claims paid and additions to loss reserves.

Amortization of policy acquisition costs for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $18.0 million and $55.5 million respectively, compared to $19.6 million and $58.6 million for the same periods a year ago. The deferred policy acquisition cost asset declined $13.8 million from December 31, 2003 as the amortization of deferred costs outpaced additions.

Other underwriting and operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $22.8 million and $71.2 million respectively, compared to $18.9 million and $52.6 million for the same periods a year ago. The increase for the quarter was due primarily to the recognition of expenses previously deferred as acquisition costs and higher depreciation expense attributable to increased technology investments. The year-to-date increase was due primarily to: 2003 compensation and related expenses paid in the first quarter of 2004; the recognition of expenses previously deferred as acquisition costs; higher depreciation expense attributable to increased technology investments; and the reallocation Noun 1. reallocation - a share that has been allocated again

 of expenses previously recorded as loss adjustment expenses.

In addition to the other underwriting and operating expenses above, during the quarter, the Company received a $2.6 million (pre-tax) refund relating to the settlement in 2001 of the Baynham class action litigation.

Domestic new insurance written for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $12.0 billion and $34.8 billion respectively, compared to $19.8 billion and $51.0 billion for the same periods a year ago. The decreases were due primarily to lower mortgage origination Origination

International Operations

Net income from International Operations for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $23.7 million and $75.7 million respectively, compared to $23.7 million and $54.5 million for the same periods a year ago. The level of net income for the quarter was the result of the year-over-year increases in premiums earned for PMI Australia and PMI Europe and the strengthening of the Australian dollar Noun 1. Australian dollar - the basic unit of money in Australia and Nauru

 and the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar, offset by the change between the losses and loss adjustment expenses/(reversals) for PMI Australia for the third quarter 2003 of ($7.2) million compared to $0.4 million for the third quarter 2004. The year-to-date increase was driven by a 22 percent year-to-date increase in net income from PMI Australia due to the previously stated factors. The results of our International Operations are subject to fluctuations in the monthly average foreign currency exchange rate of the U.S. dollar with the Australian dollar and the Euro.

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company initiated a foreign currency put option program designed to mitigate negative effects to net income due to a potential strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Australian dollar and the Euro during the remainder of 2004. For the quarter and year-to-date, the Company recorded in other income a net loss of $1.5 million and $0.5 million respectively, related to the foreign currency put option program. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against either the Australian dollar or the Euro, the total negative impact to consolidated net income in 2004 under the foreign currency put option program will be limited to the cost of the options purchased.

Net investment income for International Operations for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $11.8 million and $34.3 million respectively, compared to $9.1 million and $22.3 million for the same periods a year ago. The increases were due primarily to increases in the investment portfolios of PMI Australia and PMI Europe and an increase in the yield on investments in the PMI Australia investment portfolio.

Net income from PMI Australia for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $17.6 million and $57.0 million respectively, compared to $21.1 million and $46.9 million for the same periods a year ago. The decrease for the quarter was due primarily to the change between the losses and loss adjustment expenses/(reversals) for PMI Australia for the third quarter 2003 of ($7.2) million compared to $0.4 million for the third quarter 2004. The year-to-date increase was due primarily to increases in premiums earned, increases in net investment income and the strengthening of the Australian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar.

In local currency, net income from PMI Australia for the quarter and year-to-date totaled AU$24.7 million and AU$78.1 million respectively, compared to AU$32.0 million and AU$73.7 million for the same periods a year ago.

The changes for the quarter and year-to-date were primarily due to the release of loss reserves for the same periods a year ago. In the third quarter of 2003, PMI Australia released $8.0 million in loss reserves as a result of the declining trend in the number of delinquent loans and claims paid. The continued low level of losses and loss adjustment expenses for the quarter and year-to-date is the result of the low claims paid and the low delinquent loan inventory. Claims paid totaled $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the quarter and year-to-date respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $2.3 million for the same periods a year ago.

Premiums earned for PMI Australia for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $26.3 million and $81.9 million respectively, compared to $21.6 million and $58.7 million for the same periods a year ago, as a result of an increase in insurance in force and the strengthening of the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar.

Insurance in force for PMI Europe was $33.0 billion at September 30, 2004, compared $12.8 billion at September 30, 2003.

Financial Guaranty

Financial Guaranty, which includes the Company's investments in FGIC and RAM Re, reported net income for the quarter and year-to-date of $15.2 million and $46.2 million respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $1.8 million for the same periods a year ago. The increases were the result of our 42.1 percent investment in FGIC, which occurred in December 2003. For the quarter and year-to-date, equity in earnings from FGIC totaled $14.1 million (after tax) and $43.1 million (after tax) respectively.

Equity in earnings from RAM Re for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $1.1 million (after tax) and $3.1 million (after tax) respectively, compared to $0.8 million (after tax) and $1.8 million (after tax) for the same periods a year ago. The increase for the quarter was due primarily to increases in premiums earned and net investment income. The year-to-date increase was due primarily to the $1.9 million charge in the first quarter of 2003 for other-than-temporary impairment Impairment

 of APTIC. For the quarter, the Other segment reported a net loss of $4.1 million compared to a net loss $22.8 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in the net loss for the third quarter of 2004 compared to the third quarter of 2003 was primarily the result of the change in equity earnings from SPS (formerly Fairbanks Fairbanks, city (1990 pop. 30,843), Fairbanks North Star Borough, E central Alaska, on the Chena River near its confluence with the Tanana; inc. 1903. Fairbanks is the only sizable urban center in the vast Alaskan interior.  Capital) and the release of $4.7 million of tax reserves. In the third quarter 2003, SPS recognized a charge in connection with its settlement of a joint Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development investigation and the estimated related costs of the settlement. The Company's share in the net loss of SPS was $19.4 million (after tax). Year-to-date, net income from the Other segment totaled $12.2 million compared to a net loss of $23.1 million for the same period a year ago. The year-to-date change in net income/(loss) from the Other segment was due to the gain on sale of APTIC in the first quarter of 2004 and an increase in equity in earnings from SPS, partially offset by the absence of net income from discontinued operations due to the sale of APTIC in the first quarter of 2004 and the increase in interest expense due to the November 2003 issuance of our hybrid hybrid (hī`brĭd), term applied by plant and animal breeders to the offspring of a cross between two different subspecies or species, and by geneticists to the offspring of parents differing in any genetic characteristic (see genetics).  income term securities to finance our investment in FGIC. On March 19, 2004, we completed the sale of APTIC, received $115.1 million in cash and recognized an after tax gain of $30.1 million.

Equity in earnings of SPS for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $0.2 million (after tax) and $0.6 million (after tax) respectively, compared to losses of $19.4 million (after tax) and $13.2 million (after tax) for the same periods a year ago.

 of its investment in SPS was $131.2 million compared to $110.5 million at June June: see month.  30, 2004. The increase in the carrying value from June 30, 2004 is due primarily to our exchange of certain SPS notes receivable for equity. Our equity ownership in SPS at September 30, 2004 increased to 64.9 percent compared to 56.8 percent at June 30, 2004 primarily as a result of SPS's repurchase of shares from its minority shareholders.

Other income totaled $6.1 million and $20.7 million for the quarter and year-to-date, compared to $11.6 million and $36.2 million for the same periods a year ago. The decline was the result of a decline in contract underwriting volume.

Other underwriting and operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $16.5 million and $51.6 million respectively, compared to $21.8 million and $63.1 million for the same periods a year ago. The level of expenses reflects lower contract underwriting expenses due to decreased volume, partially offset by higher holding company expenses including compensation and interest expense.
