WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.,
Feb. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Triad
Guaranty Inc. (OTCBB: TGIC) today reported a net loss for the
quarter ended December 31, 2011 of
$60.9 million compared to a net loss
of $37.5 million for the third
quarter of 2011 and net income of $26.8
million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The 2011
fourth quarter diluted loss per share was $3.99 compared to a diluted loss per share of
$2.46 for the 2011 third quarter and
diluted income per share of $1.76 for
the fourth quarter of 2010.
The net loss for the year ended December
31, 2011 was $107.8 million
compared to net income of $132.1
million for the year ended December
31, 2010. The diluted loss per share was $7.07 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to diluted income per
share of $8.72 for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Ken Jones, President and CEO,
said, "Stubbornly high unemployment, tight credit and depressed
home prices have prevented any meaningful recovery in the housing
market, which continues to negatively impact our financial results.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, we increased the frequency
factors utilized in our reserve calculation, which added
approximately $30 million to the loss
for the quarter. As necessary, we make refinements to our
reserve estimate each quarter to reflect actual experience.
Risk in default continued to decline during the fourth
quarter, but at a slower rate than we experienced during the
previous five quarters. Settled claims declined 14% from the
third quarter while cures and newly reported defaults remained
essentially flat during the 2011 fourth quarter. Persistency,
the key driver of our earned premiums, remained at elevated levels
compared to historical norms as many borrowers are finding it very
difficult to sell their homes."
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 $703.6
million at December 31, 2011.
We believe that, absent significant positive changes in the
economy and the residential real estate market, our existing assets
and future premiums likely will not be sufficient to meet our
current and future policyholder obligations."
We have updated the quarterly statistical and supplemental
information for the 2011 fourth 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 – Fourth Quarter 2011".
