Net negative impact of the 2023 Large Loss Events

Net negative impact on underwriting result includes the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) assumed and ceded reinstatement premiums earned and (3) earned and lost profit commissions. Net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders is the sum of (1) net negative impact on underwriting result and (2) redeemable noncontrolling interest, both before consideration of any related income tax benefit (expense).

The Company’s estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of the Company’s potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. The Company’s actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, may vary from these estimates, perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur.

Meaningful uncertainty remains regarding the estimates and the nature and extent of the losses from these catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of each event, the geographic areas impacted by the events, relatively limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in loss estimation, among other things.

“2023 Large Loss Events” includes the earthquakes which impacted southern and central Turkey in February 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle which impacted northern New Zealand, the flooding that impacted northern New Zealand in January and February 2023, and various wind and thunderstorm events which impacted states in both the Southern and Midwest U.S. during March 2023 (“Q1 2023 Large Loss Events”), and a series of large, severe weather events that impacted Texas and other southern and central U.S. states in June 2023. Net negative impact for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes an increase of approximately $20.0 million in the net negative impact of the Q1 2023 Large Loss Events during the second quarter.

Three Drivers of Profit: Underwriting, Fee and Investment Income

• Gross premiums written increased by $184.3 million, or 15.1%, driven by:
  • $198.5 million increase in the catastrophe class of business, primarily due to rate improvements on deals written in the second quarter of 2023 which were partially offset by a reduction of premiums written in Upsilon of $110.0 million. In addition, the growth in the catastrophe class of business included an increase in gross reinstatement premiums written of $29.4 million.
  • $14.2 million decrease in the other property class of business, primarily due to the non-renewal of certain catastrophe exposed quota share programs that did not meet the Company’s return hurdles.

• Net premiums written increased by $256.7 million, or 28.9%, with an increase of $273.4 million, or 54.9% in the catastrophe class of business, driven by rate improvements and lower ceded premiums written.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased 8.1 percentage points, primarily as a result of the impact from the 2023 Large Loss Events, which contributed 11.5 percentage points to the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects net favorable development, primarily from weather-related large losses in the 2017 through 2020 accident years, driven by better than expected loss emergence.

• Underwriting expense ratio decreased 4.2 percentage points, largely driven by improved operating leverage from the increase in net premiums earned from the catastrophe class of business.

Underwriting Results - Casualty and Specialty Segment: Combined ratio of 93.2% and underwriting income of $70.0 million

	Combined ratio			93.2	%			93.8	%		(0.6	)pts

• Gross premiums written were relatively flat, reflecting proactive cycle management, as growth in the other specialty class of business was largely offset by a decrease in the professional liability class of business.

• Net premiums written increased 7.7% as a result of decreases in ceded premiums written.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year decreased by 1.8 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to lower current accident year attritional losses.

Fee Income: $56.7 million of fee income, up 65.5% from Q2 2022; increase in both management and performance fees

Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be negative in a particular period if, for example, large losses occur, which can potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees.

• Management fee income increased $12.7 million, reflecting increased capital managed at DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinci”), Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Vermeer”) and RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), as well as the recording of previously deferred management fees in DaVinci related to the weather-related large losses experienced in the prior years.

• Performance fee income increased $9.7 million, driven by current year underwriting results.

Investment Results: Total investment result improved $616.8 million; net investment income growth of 173.0%

• Net investment income increased $185.5 million, primarily driven by higher interest rates, higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity and short term portfolios as a result of our reinvestment of the portfolio during the rising interest rate environment throughout 2022 and 2023, as well as increased catastrophe bond yields.

• Net realized and unrealized gains on investments increased $431.3 million, principally driven by:
  • Net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments trading of $214.0 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $437.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, driven by interest rate increases, which were generally lower in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the interest rate increases in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Equity investments contributed net realized and unrealized gains of $1.9 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $91.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. Both the current and comparative quarter equity investment results were in line with wider equity market movements; and
  • Catastrophe bonds contributed net realized and unrealized gains of $38.2 million compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $24.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. Both the current and comparative quarter reflected changes in risk spreads in the wider catastrophe bond market.

• Total investments were $25.5 billion at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $22.2 billion). Weighted average yield to maturity and duration on the Company’s investment portfolio (excluding investments that have no final maturity, yield to maturity or duration) was 6.1% and 2.4 years (December 31, 2022 - 5.7% and 2.5 years, respectively).

Other Items of Note

• Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $174.9 million was primarily driven by:
  • Strong underwriting results for DaVinci and Vermeer;
  • Strong net investment income driven by higher interest rates and yields within the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; and
  • Net realized and unrealized gains on catastrophe bonds recorded during the quarter in Medici.

• Raised third-party capital of $350.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, including $170.5 million in Medici and $150.0 million in a newly formed segregated account focused on investing in insurance-linked securities (ILS), primarily catastrophe bonds.

• Redemptions of third-party capital of $313.0 million during the second quarter of 2023, of which $285.6 million was from Upsilon Diversified Fund, as a result of the release of collateral associated with prior years’ contracts.

• Corporate expenses increased by $11.0 million, primarily driven by expenses associated with the Validus Acquisition.

• Income tax expense of $5.9 million compared to a benefit of $30.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in income tax expense was driven by lower investment losses and increased operating income in the Company’s taxable jurisdictions, primarily from the Company’s U.S. operations compared to the second quarter of 2022.

• On May 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with American International Group, Inc. (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “AIG”) pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Company agreed to purchase certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of AIG, including Validus Holdings, Ltd., Validus Specialty, LLC, and Validus Reinsurance, Ltd. (the acquisitions under the Stock Purchase Agreement, together with the other transactions contemplated thereby, the “Validus Acquisition”). The Validus Acquisition, which is currently expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2023, is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, receipt of required regulatory approvals.

• On May 26, 2023, the Company completed an offering of 7,245,000 of our common shares at the public offering price of $192.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,352.0 million from the offering of common shares after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable.

• On June 5, 2023, the Company completed an offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.750% Senior Notes due 2033. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $741.0 million from the offering of senior notes after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable.

Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this Press Release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has provided certain of these financial measures in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that such measures are important to investors and other interested persons, and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within or outside the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies within or outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.

Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders and Operating Return on Average Common Equity - Annualized

The Company uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as a measure to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance. “Operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of (1) net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, excluding other investments - catastrophe bonds, (2) net foreign exchange gains and losses, (3) corporate expenses associated with the pending acquisition of Validus, (4) the income tax expense or benefit associated with these adjustments and (5) the portion of these adjustments attributable to the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company also uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” to calculate “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized.” The Company’s management believes that “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized” are useful to investors because they more accurately measure and predict the Company’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from the listed adjustments. The following table is a reconciliation of: (1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders”; (2) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted”; and (3) return on average common equity - annualized to “operating return on average common equity - annualized.”

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share and Tangible Book Value Per Common Share Plus Accumulated Dividends

The Company has included in this Press Release “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets per share. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets per share, plus accumulated dividends. The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets. The following table is a reconciliation of book value per common share to “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.”
