39 The PMI Group, Inc. Forward-Looking Statement Cautionary Statement: Statements in this supplement that are not historical facts, or that relate to future plans, events or performance are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include our expectations with respect to reductions to incurred losses provided by captive reinsurance arrangements. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements by their nature involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Many factors could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: • Potential significant future losses as a result of changes in economic and market conditions; • our expectation that, as a result of continued losses, we will need to raise significant additional capital and that such additional capital may be necessary in 2009; • the risk that pending discussions with lenders to amend financial covenants and events of default under our credit facility are not completed timely or satisfactorily; • the risk that we may be unable to maintain minimum regulatory risk-to-capital and policyholders surplus requirements; • the limitations we have placed on new business writings and the concentration of our business among a relatively small number of large customers; • the potential that our actual losses may substantially exceed our loss reserve estimates; • the aging of our mortgage insurance portfolio and changes in severity or frequency of losses associated with our mortgage insurance policies; • the performance of our insured portfolio of higher risk loans, which have resulted in increased losses in 2007 and 2008 and are expected to result in further losses; • the risk that Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac (the “GSEs”) determine that we are no longer an eligible provider of mortgage insurance, and potential changes in the charters or business practices of the GSEs, the largest purchasers of mortgages; • further downgrades or other ratings actions with respect to our credit ratings or insurer financial strength ratings assigned by the major rating agencies; and • our need to reevaluate the premium deficiencies in our mortgage insurance business on a quarterly basis. Other risk and uncertainties are discussed in our SEC filings, including in Item 1A of our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed March 16, 2009. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. |
