Press Release

Triad Guaranty Inc. Reports First Quarter Results

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 13, 2011 -- Triad Guaranty Inc. (OTCBB: TGIC) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $4.9 million compared to net income of $26.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and a net loss of $27.8 million for the first quarter of 2010.  The 2011 first quarter diluted loss per share was $0.32 compared to diluted income per share of $1.76 for the 2010 fourth quarter and a diluted loss per share of $1.84 for the first quarter of 2010.

Ken Jones, President and CEO, said, “After three consecutive quarters of profits, we reported a small loss during the 2011 first quarter.  Although we had a decrease in new defaults from the fourth quarter of 2010, we did not receive as much benefit from the positive development of our reserves during the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.  Net settled claims declined 23% and 26% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.  We believe the drop in our net settled claims is primarily related to loan servicers’ issues surrounding foreclosure policies and practices, including in some cases, foreclosure moratoriums.  The drop in net settled claims had little impact on our 2011 first quarter financial results because we continue to reserve for a default until we settle the default or receive definitive information from the servicer that the default has cured.”

Mr. Jones continued, “As a company in run-off, our primary focus remains on the efficient and effective servicing of our insured portfolio, particularly with respect to loss management, in order to maximize our claims-paying ability.   Our deficit in assets remains substantial and was $593.7 million at March 31, 2011.  We continue to believe that, absent significant positive changes in the economy and the residential real estate market, our existing assets and future premiums may not be sufficient to meet our current and future policyholder obligations.”

We have updated the quarterly statistical and supplemental information for the 2011 first quarter results on our web site at www.triadguaranty.com.  The supplemental information can be found under “Investors” and then under “Webcasts and Presentations” by the title “Supplemental Information – First Quarter 2011”.
