                     THE PHOENIX COMPANIES, INC. REVISES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2004
                            NET INCOME UPWARD BY $5.4 MILLION; FILES FORM 10-K TODAY

Hartford, Conn., March 11, 2005 - The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE: PNX) today reported a $5.4 million
increase in fourth quarter 2004 net income to $48.3 million and full-year 2004 net income to $86.4 million,
compared with the amounts previously reported on February 8, 2005. These results were included in Phoenix's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.
Total segment income for the fourth quarter and full year 2004 remain unchanged.
    This revision to net income is the result of net foreign currency gains principally related to the
company's equity investment in Aberdeen Asset Management PLC and reflects evolving accounting guidance.
    Fourth quarter and full-year 2004 net income reflect revised after-tax net gains of $40.4 million and $41.2
million, respectively, related to Phoenix's 16.5 percent equity stake in Aberdeen.
    As previously announced, the company closed the sale of its entire equity stake in Aberdeen on January
14, 2005 for net proceeds of $70.4 million and expects to recognize an after-tax loss related to this sale of
approximately $7.0 million in its first quarter 2005 results.
