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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.”
