confidently execute our strategy and are pleased with the results
we are achieving and excited about the future of our company. On
November 1, 2023, we closed the acquisition of Validus Re, adding
risk expertise and scale in a favorable market and building a solid
foundation for the continued execution of our strategy. In
addition, we reported strong results for the third quarter,
delivering a 25.0% operating return on average common equity driven
by significant contributions from each of our Three Drivers of
Profit – underwriting, fee and investment income. As we approach
the January 1 renewals, we remain resolutely focused on executing
our strategy as a unified company, retaining the Validus portfolio
and capturing additional attractive growth opportunities that
support our customers and deliver value for our shareholders.”

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.

- Gross premiums written decreased by $289.3 million, or
36.1%, driven by:
– $230.5 million decrease in the catastrophe
class of business, driven by a $236.5 million reduction in gross
reinstatement premiums from lower weather-related large losses in
the third quarter of 2023.
– $58.8 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 decreased by $251.6 million, or
36.1%, driven by a $208.3 million reduction in net reinstatement
premiums from lower weather-related large losses in the third
quarter of 2023.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident
year improved by 120.2 percentage points due to a lower impact
from the 2023 Large Loss Events in the third quarter of 2023 than
the weather-related large losses in the third quarter of 2022. The
2023 Large Loss Events contributed 14.5 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 across the 2017 to 2022 accident
years, driven by better than expected loss emergence.
- Underwriting expense ratio increased 3.5 percentage
points, primarily due to the reduction in net reinstatement
premiums in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third
quarter of 2022.
- Combined Ratio improved by 132.8 percentage points,
primarily due to a lower level of current accident year net losses
combined with higher prior accident year net favorable
development.

- Gross premiums written decreased by $312.9 million, or
22.0%, driven by:
– a $226.7 million decrease in the credit
class of business, principally due to significant premium growth in
the third quarter of 2022 associated with opportunistic deals
written in the mortgage book of business, which do not renew
annually and earn over several years.
– the impact of positive adjustments to
premium estimates in the third quarter of 2022 for business
underwritten in prior years. Additionally, premium growth in the
other specialty class of business as compared to the third quarter
of 2022 was offset by a decrease in the casualty classes of
business, reflecting proactive cycle management.
- Net premiums written decreased 13.2%, consistent with
the changes in gross premiums written, and partially offset by an
overall reduction in our retrocessional purchases.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident
year increased by 2.2 percentage points compared to the third
quarter of 2022. Event losses on catastrophe exposed lines within
Specialty classes of business contributed approximately 3.0
percentage points to the current accident year net claims and claim
expense ratio in the third quarter of 2023.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident
years reflects net favorable development driven by reported
losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net
claims and claim expenses, primarily from other specialty lines of
business.
- Underwriting expense ratio decreased 0.3 percentage
points, which consisted of a 1.3 percentage point decrease in the
net acquisition expense ratio, largely offset by a 1.0 percentage
point increase in the operating expense ratio.

- Management fee income increased $19.5 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 management
fees in DaVinci that were previously deferred as a result of the
weather-related large losses experienced in prior years, as
compared to the deferral of management fees in the third quarter of
2022, as a result of the weather-related large losses.
- Performance fee income increased $19.3 million, driven
by improved current year underwriting results, primarily in
DaVinci.

- Net investment income increased $171.3 million,
primarily driven by a combination of higher average invested assets
and higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity and short term
portfolios.
- Net realized and unrealized gains on investments
increased $413.4 million, principally driven by:
– Net realized and unrealized losses on fixed
maturity investments trading of $279.3 million, compared to net
realized and unrealized losses of $424.2 million in the third
quarter of 2022, primarily driven by interest rate increases in
each period, with generally lower increases in the current
period.
– Net realized and unrealized gains on
investment-related derivatives of $30.6 million, compared to net
realized and unrealized losses of $55.6 million in the third
quarter of 2022. Current quarter gains were driven by short
interest rate future positions benefiting from interest rate
increases, while long interest rate and equity futures were
negatively impacted by U.S. treasury rate increases and equity
market declines in the third quarter of 2022.
– Net realized and unrealized gains on
catastrophe bonds of $32.5 million, compared to net realized and
unrealized losses of $127.0 million in the third quarter of 2022.
These catastrophe bonds are primarily held in Medici, the majority
of which is owned by third party investors. Both the current and
comparative quarter reflected changes in risk spreads in the wider
catastrophe bond market.
- Total investments grew to $26.0 billion at September 30,
2023, from $22.2 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily driven by
the approximately $2.1 billion raised in the second quarter of 2023
in accordance with the Company’s financing plan for the Validus
Acquisition (as defined below). 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 6.3% and 2.1 years (December 31, 2022 - 5.7% and 2.5
years, respectively).
Other Items of Note
- Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling
interests of $213.7 million was primarily driven by:
– Strong underwriting results for DaVinci and
Vermeer;
– Strong net investment income driven by
higher interest rates and higher yielding assets 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, as
discussed above.
- Raised third-party capital of $16.3 million in the third
quarter of 2023 in Medici.
- Redemptions of third-party capital of $368.7 million
during the third quarter of 2023, including the return of $175.0
million of excess capital from Vermeer, and $122.3 million from
Upsilon Diversified Fund, as a result of the release of collateral
associated with prior years’ contracts.
- Corporate expenses increased by $6.8 million, primarily
driven by expenses incurred in support of integration planning
activities associated with the Validus Acquisition.
- Income tax expense of $9.3 million compared to $2.8
million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in income tax
expense was primarily driven by increased operating income,
partially offset by investment losses, in the Company’s taxable
jurisdictions compared to the third quarter of 2022.
- On November 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of
certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of American International
Group, Inc., including Validus Holdings, Ltd., Validus Specialty,
LLC, and Validus Reinsurance, Ltd. (the acquisitions, together with
the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the “Validus Acquisition”).

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 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.”
