FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NMI Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
EMERYVILLE, CALIF., May 4, 2017 -- NMI Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMIH) today reported net income of $5.5 million, or $0.09 per share, for the first quarter ended Mar. 31, 2017. Results for the quarter include fees and expenses of approximately $1.6 million related to repricing and extension of the company’s Term Loan and the previously announced issuance of Insurance-Linked Notes. The company reported a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.07 per share, in the first quarter of 2016.

Bradley Shuster, chairman and CEO of National MI, said, “We had another great quarter at National MI, achieving new records in the important metrics of insurance in force, premiums earned, master policies and customers generating NIW. Also, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we executed an Insurance-Linked Notes transaction that enhances National MI’s financial strength by providing a layer of protection against adverse losses, while at the same time providing expected additional writing capacity under PMIERs of approximately $200 million. Our estimated after-tax cost of this coverage and capital relief is approximately three percent.”

As of March 31, 2017, the company had primary insurance-in-force of $34.8 billion, up 8% from $32.2 billion at the prior quarter end and up 87% over $18.6 billion as of March 31, 2016.

Premiums earned for the quarter were $33.2 million, including $2.5 million attributable to cancellation of single premium policies, which compares with $32.8 million, including $5.1 million related to cancellations, in the prior quarter. Premiums earned in the first quarter of 2017 were up 68% over premium revenue of $19.8 million in the same quarter a year ago, which included $2.3 million related to cancellations.
  
NIW mix was 81% monthly premium product, which compares with 75% in the prior quarter and 59% in the first quarter of 2016. 

Total underwriting and operating expenses in the first quarter were $26.0 million, including share-based compensation expense of $1.9 million. Expense in the quarter includes fees and expenses of approximately $1.6 million related to repricing and extension of the company’s Term Loan and the previously announced issuance of Insurance-Linked Notes. This compares with total underwriting and operating expenses of $23.3 million, including $1.9 million of share-based compensation, in the prior quarter, and $22.7 million, including $1.4 million of share-based compensation, in the same quarter a year ago.

Loss expense for the quarter was $0.6 million, resulting in a loss ratio of 2%.

At quarter-end, cash and investments were $671 million, including $59 million at the holding company, and book equity was $484 million, equal to $8.09 per share.

At quarter-end, the company had total PMIERs available assets of $467 million, which compares with risk-based required assets under PMIERs of $399 million.

The PSLRA provides a "safe harbor" for any forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this release are forward-looking statements, including any statements about our expectations, outlook, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance.

All forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that may turn out to be inaccurate and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Many risks and uncertainties are inherent in our industry and markets. Others are more specific to our business and operations. Important factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to implement our business strategy, including our ability to attract and retain a diverse customer base and to achieve a diversified mix of business across the spectrum of our product offerings; changes in the business practices of the GSEs that may impact the use of private mortgage insurance; our ongoing ability to comply with the financial requirements of the PMIERs; our ability to maintain sufficient holding company liquidity to meet our short- and long-term liquidity needs; our ability to successfully execute and implement our capital plans, including our ability to access the reinsurance market and to enter into, and receive approval of, reinsurance arrangements on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us, the GSEs and our regulators; heightened competition for our mortgage insurance business from other private mortgage insurers and the FHA; adoption of new or changes to existing laws and regulations that impact the mortgage insurance industry or their enforcement and implementation by regulators; changes to the GSEs' role in the secondary mortgage market or other changes that could affect the residential mortgage industry generally or mortgage insurance in particular; our implementation of complex infrastructure, systems, procedures and internal controls to support our business and

regulatory and reporting requirements; potential future lawsuits, investigations or inquiries or resolution of current lawsuits or inquiries; emergence of unexpected claims and coverage issues, including claims exceeding our reserves or amounts we expected to experience; our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards, which could be limited or eliminated in various ways, including if we experience an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code; and general economic downturns and volatility. These risks and uncertainties also include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" detailed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as subsequently updated through other reports we file with the SEC.
