  • Repurchased $93.4 million of common shares.

Kevin J. O’Donnell, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We would like to recognize the great human tragedy of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War and hope for rapid cessation of hostilities and peace in the region. There were also numerous natural catastrophes this quarter and we would like to extend our sympathies to all those impacted. Our purpose is to protect communities and enable prosperity and these events reinforce the importance of our role in helping our stakeholders manage many different forms of volatility.

 

For our shareholders, we delivered a solid double digit operating return while generating profits in both underwriting segments. Our balance sheet is strong and all three of our drivers of profit should benefit from improving market conditions: our underwriting from material rate increases across most lines as well as continuing growth in our Casualty and Specialty segment; our fee income business from the launch of our groundbreaking Casualty and Specialty joint venture Fontana; and our investment income from rising interest rates. We believe that all of these factors will make our financial results increasingly resilient to natural catastrophe volatility and produce superior returns for our shareholders.”

Net Negative Impact

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).

Estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. 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 losses from 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.

In February 2022, Russia launched an invasion into Ukraine. There is uncertainty associated with the scale, duration and impact of this situation, which we continue to actively monitor. The Company’s loss estimates represent its best estimate of incurred losses based on currently available information, and actual losses may vary materially from these estimates.

“Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses” includes the Australian Floods which impacted Eastern Australia in February and March 2022, and Storm Eunice which impacted several areas in Europe in February 2022.

Russia-Ukraine War Losses

In the first quarter of 2022, losses related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resulted in a net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $24.9 million. This reflects net claims and claims expenses incurred and net negative impact on underwriting result of $27.1 million, solely in the Casualty and Specialty segment, partially offset by redeemable noncontrolling interest of $2.2 million. The net negative impact on underwriting result had a 1.8 percentage point impact on the consolidated combined ratio.

  • Gross premiums written decreased by $273.3 million, or 16.9%, driven by:

– $175.5 million reduction in Upsilon RFO Re Ltd. (“Upsilon RFO”).

– $79.1 million reduction in assumed reinstatement premiums due to lower impact from the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, as compared to Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter of 2021.

– $28.3 million decrease in the other property class of business, principally due to the planned non-renewal of certain deals, which is partially offset by growth and rate improvement across other areas of business.

  • Net premiums written decreased by $118.3 million, or 11.7%, driven by a $69.0 million decrease in net reinstatement premiums, and the reduction in the other property class of business noted above.
  • The net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year decreased 38.6 percentage points, primarily as a result of a lower impact from the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, as compared to Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter of 2021.
  • The net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development primarily from weather-related large losses in the 2017 to 2020 accident years.
  • Underwriting expense ratio increased 3.6 percentage points, primarily driven by a reduced benefit to the ratio from reinstatement premiums.
  • Underwriting income of $184.8 million and a combined ratio of 70.1% included the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses which had a $102.3 million net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result and added 17.3 percentage points to the combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022.

  • Gross premiums written increased 54.4%, principally in the professional liability and general casualty lines of business. This growth was primarily driven by increases in new and existing business written in the current and prior periods, combined with rate improvements.
  • Net premiums written increased 56.3%, primarily driven by growth in the casualty lines of business, consistent with the changes in gross premiums written.
  • Net claims and claim expense ratio was unchanged from the first quarter of 2021, despite the impact of the Russia-Ukraine War, which added 3.1 percentage points of losses to the current accident year net claims and claim expenses.
  • Underwriting expense ratio decreased 0.7 percentage points, principally due to a 1.2 percentage point improvement in the operating expense ratio driven by improved operating leverage, partly offset by a 0.5 percentage point increase in the net acquisition expense ratio due to slightly higher costs associated with the casualty book.

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.

  • Total fee income increased $4.4 million due to higher performance fee income, partially offset by lower management fee income.

– Performance fee income was higher in the first quarter of 2022, however, continued to be negatively impacted by the underwriting deficit carried forward from the weather-related losses in 2021; the performance fee income in the first quarter of 2021 was negatively impacted by the impact of Winter Storm Uri losses.

– Management fee income was lower in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to the reduced size of the Company’s structured reinsurance products and lower capital managed at Upsilon, partially offset by increased capital managed at other joint ventures and managed funds.

  • Total investment result decreased $323.6 million, primarily due to higher net realized and unrealized losses on investments, principally within the fixed maturity investments portfolio.

– In the first quarter of 2022, net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments of $618.3 million were primarily driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses resulting from the significant increase in interest rates. In addition, net realized and unrealized losses of $56.1 million on equity investments were in line with the wider equity markets.

– In the first quarter of 2021, net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments of $261.8 million were largely driven by increasing interest rates. In addition, net realized and unrealized losses of $67.9 million on equity investments were primarily driven by losses in the Company’s strategic investment portfolio.

  • Managed fixed maturity and short-term investment weighted average yield to maturity was 2.3% and average duration was 2.8 years on total consolidated fixed maturity and short-term investments of $17.7 billion at March 31, 2022.

Other Items of Note

  • Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $11.9 million compared to net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $46.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to:

– DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinciRe”), which had a net loss in the first quarter of 2022 due to realized and unrealized losses on investments, driven by the increase in interest rates discussed previously, as compared to a larger net loss in the first quarter of 2021, which was driven by losses from Winter Storm Uri; and

– RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), which, while generating positive returns for Medici’s investors, had a net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2022 due to foreign exchange losses on hedges related to foreign currency share classes held by third-party investors. After taking into account the original currency carrying value of Medici’s foreign currency share classes, foreign currency hedges had no net impact to Medici’s investors. This was partially offset by

– Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Vermeer”), which had improved net income in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021, which was impacted by losses from Winter Storm Uri.

  • Income tax benefit of $36.7 million compared to $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in income tax benefit was primarily driven by higher unrealized investment losses in the Company’s U.S.-based operations compared to the first quarter of 2021.
  • Net foreign exchange losses of $15.5 million compared to $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The net foreign exchange losses in both periods were primarily driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici which are allocated through noncontrolling interests, as discussed above, and miscellaneous foreign exchange losses generated by underwriting activities.
  • Share repurchases of 576.7 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $93.4 million and an average price of $162.03 per common share in the first quarter of 2022. There were no shares repurchased subsequent to March 31, 2022.
  • Raised capital of $786.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, through DaVinciRe, Medici, Upsilon RFO, and Vermeer, including $209.7 million from the Company. Subsequent to March 31, 2022:

– Launched Fontana Holdings L.P. and its subsidiaries (“Fontana”) with capital commitments of $475.0 million. In April 2022, $400.0 million of this amount had been funded, comprised of $273.7 million from third-party investors and $126.3 million from the Company; and

– Raised an additional $147.0 million through Medici, including $10.0 million from the Company.

Comments on Regulation G

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 these financial measures in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that these 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 the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies 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) attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, excluding other investments - catastrophe bonds, net foreign exchange gains and losses, corporate expenses associated with the acquisition of TMR and the subsequent sale of RenaissanceRe (UK) Limited (“RenaissanceRe UK”), the income tax expense or benefit associated with these adjustments and the portion of these adjustments attributable to the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company’s management believes that “operating Income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” is useful to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the Company’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from: fluctuations in the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio, equity investments trading, other investments (excluding catastrophe bonds) and investments-related derivatives; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; corporate expenses associated with the acquisition of TMR and the subsequent sale of RenaissanceRe UK; the associated income tax expense or benefit of these adjustments; and 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 following table is a reconciliation of: (1) net income (loss) attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to “operating Income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders”; (2) net income (loss) 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.” Comparative information for all prior periods has been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.

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.”
