                      TRIAD GUARANTY INC. REPORTS EARNINGS
                     OF $19.4 MILLION FOR THE THIRD QUARTER

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., October 26, 2006-- Triad Guaranty Inc. (NASDAQ: TGIC) today
reported net income for the quarter  ended  September  30, 2006 of $19.4 million
compared with $15.3 million for the same quarter a year ago, an increase of 27%.
Diluted  earnings  per share were $1.30 for the third  quarter of 2006  compared
with  $1.03  for the  third  quarter  of  2005,  an  increase  of 26%.  Realized
investment losses, net of taxes, did not impact earnings in the third quarter of
2006, compared with a reduction of $0.01 per share in the same quarter of 2005.

Net  income for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2006 was $57.6  million
compared  with $44.3 million for the same period in 2005.  Diluted  earnings per
share  were $3.86 for the first nine  months of 2006  compared  to $2.99 for the
same period last year.  Realized  investment  gains,  net of taxes,  contributed
$0.07 per share for the first nine  months of 2006 and did not  impact  earnings
per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Mark K. Tonnesen,  President and Chief Executive  Officer,  said, "Our growth in
insurance  in force,  coming  from solid  sales  results in both the Primary and
Modified Pool channels coupled with continuing persistency improvements,  led to
another quarter of strong revenue and earnings growth. Earned premiums increased
23% over both the quarter and year-to-date  periods when compared with the prior
year.  Our  incurred  loss  ratio for the  quarter at 35.7% was in line with our
expectations and included a $5.2 million increase in reserves from the preceding
quarter."

Mr.  Tonnesen  continued,   "Our  operating  income,   which  excludes  realized
investment gains and losses,  set a record this quarter.  We view this as a very
satisfactory  result.  Credit quality has remained a key area of focus;  and our
performance  in this  regard is very  encouraging.  Expenses  were higher in the
quarter and much of the increase was due to our planned  investment  in building
for a strong future. Complementing the earnings growth is the fact that reserves
and   stockholders'   equity  at  September  30,  2006  were  up  18%  and  12%,
respectively, from the beginning of the year."






Total  insurance  in force  reached  $53.9  billion at September  30,  2006,  an
increase  of 25% from  $43.2  billion a year ago.  Insurance  in force  included
Primary of $32.1  billion and Modified  Pool of $21.8  billion at September  30,
2006,  compared  with $29.8  billion  and $13.4  billion,  respectively,  a year
earlier.  New  insurance  written  during the third quarter of 2006 totaled $6.2
billion  compared  with $7.6 billion in the third  quarter of 2005.  Primary new
insurance  written for the third quarter of 2006 was $3.3  billion,  up slightly
from $3.1  billion in the third  quarter of 2005.  New  insurance  written  from
Modified  Pool  transactions  totaled $2.9 billion in the third  quarter of 2006
compared with $4.5 billion for the same period of 2005. The underlying volume of
Modified  Pool  transactions  that  generates  the  new  insurance  written  may
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

Earned premiums for the third quarter of 2006 were $54.0 million, an increase of
23% over the same  period a year ago and up 7% from the second  quarter of 2006.
The  increase in earned  premiums was due to growth in both Primary and Modified
Pool insurance in force. Annual persistency on the Primary business was 75.3% at
September 30, 2006 compared with 69.7% at September 30, 2005.

Incurred losses for the third quarter were $19.3 million, up 12% from the second
quarter and 14% from the third quarter of 2005.  Total paid claims for the third
quarter  of 2006 were  $13.6  million,  down from  $14.4  million  in the second
quarter of 2006, and up 1% compared with the third quarter of 2005.  Severity on
Primary paid claims was $25,700 in the third quarter of 2006,  down from $25,800
in the second  quarter of 2006 and $26,200 in the third  quarter of 2005.  Total
defaults at September 30, 2006 were 6,939, up 7% from 6,485 at June 30, 2006 and
up from 5,653  reported at September 30, 2005.  The increase from the prior year
reflects the continued  seasoning of the portfolio and, to a lesser degree,  the
impact of defaults related to last fall's  hurricanes.  The Primary  delinquency
rate was 2.27% at September  30, 2006  compared  with 2.21% at June 30, 2006 and
1.97% at September  30, 2005.  The Modified Pool  delinquency  rate was 1.78% at
September  30, 2006 compared with 1.58% and 1.71% at June 30, 2006 and September
30, 2005, respectively.

Mr.  Tonnesen  concluded  by  saying,  "Navigating  the  waters of the  mortgage
industry is a critically  important  and  challenging  task.  The Triad team has
demonstrated  deftness this quarter through  balancing  growth,  credit quality,
prudent investment and attention to balance sheet fundamentals."

Operating income,  which is net income excluding  realized gains and losses, and
diluted realized investment gains/(losses) per share, net of taxes, are non-GAAP
measures.  We believe  these  measures are relevant  and useful  information  to
investors because, except for losses on impaired securities, it shows the effect
that the Company's discretionary sales of investments had on earnings.

Note: The Company  periodically  enters into structured  transactions  involving
loans that have insurance  effective dates within the current  reporting  period
but for which  detailed  loan  information  regarding  the insured  loans is not
provided until later.  When this occurs,  the Company accrues due premium in the
reporting period based on each loan's  insurance  effective date;  however,  the
loans are not  reflected in the Company's in force and related data totals until
the loan level detail is reported to the Company.  At  September  30, 2006,  the
Company had no structured  transactions  with  effective  dates within the third
quarter for which loan level detail had not been received.
