THE PMI GROUP, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2006 NET

INCOME OF $105.3 MILLION, OR $1.09 PER DILUTED SHARE

Walnut Creek, CA, May 4, 2006—The PMI Group, Inc. (NYSE: PMI) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $105.3 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to net income of $101.2 million for the first quarter of 2005. Net income per diluted share was $1.09 for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $1.00 for the first quarter of 2005, representing a 9.0% increase.

Results for the first quarter of 2006 include a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million ($1.3 million after tax), or $0.01 per diluted share, for the reduction and restructuring of field offices in U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations.¹ The Company also incurred pre-tax expenses of $5.0 million ($3.7 million after tax) or $0.04 per diluted share, for stock option expenses and related stock based compensation for the adoption of accounting for share-based payment.

Segment highlights in the first quarter of 2006 include: U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations—growth in net premiums written and a decline in primary loans in default and claims paid; International Operations²—net income growth of 13.9%; and Financial Guaranty³—net income growth of 11.6%.

Consolidated Operating Results

Consolidated net premiums written for the first quarter 2006 totaled $201.9 million compared to $193.7 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was due primarily to an increase in average premium rates and average insured loan balances in U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations and increased new insurance written in PMI Australia.

Consolidated premiums earned for the first quarter of 2006 were $206.2 million compared to $199.6 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was due to higher average premium rates, increased premiums from modified pool products in the U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations and higher premiums earned as a result of higher new insurance written and higher insurance in force in PMI Australia.

2 “International Operations” includes the results of PMI Australia, PMI Europe and the results of operations from the Hong Kong branch operations.

3 “Financial Guaranty” includes the results of the Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, Inc. (FGIC) with which The PMI Group, Inc. has an equity ownership interest of 42.0% and results from the RAM Reinsurance Group of Companies (RAM Re).

Consolidated other underwriting and operating expenses for the first quarter 2006 totaled $53.5 million compared to $45.6 million for the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to an increase in compensation expenses in U.S. Mortgage Insurance and Holding Company Operations and increased expenses in International Operations including profit sharing commissions for the Royal & Sun Alliance portfolio in PMI Europe.

Consolidated losses and loss adjustment expenses for the first quarter declined to $60.9 million compared to $64.5 million in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in the number of primary claims paid, partially offset by a higher average primary claim size in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Adoption of SFAS 123R, “Accounting for Share-Based Payment”, resulted in a $3.7 million after tax charge for stock options and related stock based compensation expenses in our Other Segment for the first quarter of 2006.

Consolidated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses totaled $369.9 million as of March 31, 2006 compared to $368.8 million as of December 31, 2005 and $364.8 million as of March 31, 2005. The increase for the first quarter of 2006 was primarily due to portfolio seasoning and higher expected primary claim rates on reported delinquencies in the U.S. Mortgage Insurance portfolio.

Segment Highlights

U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations

• U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations realized a 5.8% increase in net premiums written for the first quarter of 2006 which grew to $163.5 million as compared to $154.5 million for the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to an increase in PMI’s average premium rates and average insured loan balances in the first quarter of 2006.

• U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations total incurred losses for the first quarter 2006 decreased 6.3% to $59.1 million from $63.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 driven primarily by lower paid claims.

4 The “Other” segment primarily consists of the holding company, contract underwriting operations and Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (SPS) prior to its disposition on October 4, 2005.

Page 2

• U.S. Mortgage Insurance Operations closed four field offices in the first quarter of 2006 and incurred a pre-tax restructuring charge of $2.0 million related to facility transition expenses and employee salary and severance costs.

• Equity in earnings from CMG for the first quarter 2006 increased 9.8% to $4.5 million compared to $4.1 million pre-tax for the first quarter 2005.

International Operations

• PMI Australia reported net income of $24.1 million for the first quarter of 2006, a 17% increase over net income for the first quarter 2005 of $20.6 million. The increase in net income was due primarily to an increase in premiums earned and unrealized gains on foreign currency put options, partially offset by the weakening of the Australian dollar and an increase in losses and LAE. In functional currency, PMI Australia’s net income increased by 23% from AUD $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 to AUD $26.5 million in the first quarter of 2005.

• PMI Europe reported net income for the quarter of $2.9 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in the first quarter was due principally to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. In functional currency, net income from PMI Europe for the first quarter of 2006 was €2.5 million compared to €2.3 million for the same period a year ago.

• PMI’s Hong Kong net income for the first quarter 2006 totaled $1.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period a year ago.

Financial Guaranty

• Equity in earnings from FGIC grew for the first quarter of 2006 to $20.3 million (after tax) compared to $18.1 million (after tax) for the same period a year ago. The increase was due to increases in premiums earned and higher investment income.

• Equity in earnings from RAM Re for the first quarter were $1.2 million (pre-tax) compared to $1.2 million (pre-tax) for the same period a year ago. On April 27^th, RAM Re successfully completed its initial public offering. As a result, the Company currently retains a 23.7% strategic ownership interest in RAM Re.
