On October 18, 2007, The PMI Group, Inc. ("PMI") issued a press release entitled, "The PMI Group, Inc. Announces Housing, Mortgage and Credit Market Conditions to Adversely Affect Third Quarter 2007 Results." A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. This Form 8-K and the attached exhibit are furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cautionary Statement: Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and its exhibit 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. These forward-looking statements include PMI's expectation with respect to its consolidated third quarter 2007 financial results. 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 a ctual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, national or regional recessions, credit market disruptions, war or terrorist activity, and regulatory and legislative developments. In particular, further deterioration in the housing, mortgage and related credit markets would likely harm PMI's future consolidated results of operations. Declines in housing values and/or housing demand, deterioration of borrower credit, higher unemployment rates, changes in interest rates, higher levels of consumer credit, higher mortgage default and claim rates, higher claim sizes, the aging of PMI's mortgage insurance portfolios, adverse changes in liquidity in the capital markets and the contraction of credit markets could negatively affect PMI's US Mortgage Insurance Operations' financial performance, including its total incurred losses. Ratings actions with respect to PMI's credit ratings or the insurance financial-str ength ratings assigned by the major ratings agencies to its insurance subsidiaries; the use of alternatives to mortgage insurance; the possibility that PMI or its unconsolidated subsidiaries may fail to estimate accurately the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in connection with establishing loss reserves or fail to estimate accurately the fair value amounts of derivative financial contracts in determining gains and losses on these contracts; and PMI's vulnerability to the performance of its unconsolidated subsidiaries which it does not control could harm its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Other risks and uncertainties are discussed in PMI's SEC filings, including its Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (in Item 1A) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. PMI undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
