Insights

RenaissanceRe delivered exceptional performance in 2024, demonstrating the strength of its diversified business model. The 83.9% combined ratio for the full year stands out as particularly impressive in a challenging catastrophe year, significantly outperforming typical industry averages that hover around 95-100%.

The integration of Validus is proving successful, contributing to substantial premium growth with Property segment gross premiums up 35.4% and Casualty/Specialty up notably. This strategic acquisition has enhanced RenaissanceRe's market position and diversification.

Capital management has been notably aggressive, with $677.6 million in share repurchases during 2024, including $462.3 million in Q4 alone. This substantial buyback activity, coupled with $857.4 million in third-party capital raising, reflects strong confidence in the business model and efficient capital deployment.

The investment portfolio performance shows both strength and vulnerability. While net investment income increased 13.8% year-over-year in Q4, the $630.3 million mark-to-market losses highlight interest rate sensitivity. However, the 5.4% portfolio yield positions the company well for sustained investment income.

Underwriting excellence remains evident with the Property segment's 57.2% combined ratio for the full year, despite absorbing significant catastrophe losses. The Casualty segment's results, while showing a 100.4% combined ratio, demonstrate disciplined underwriting in a challenging market.

At the same time, we fulfilled our purpose while demonstrating our relevance to our customers, rapidly paying claims against a backdrop of elevated catastrophic events punctuated by two large hurricanes.

See “Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Gross premiums written increased by $45.4 million, or 13.2%, primarily due to a $53.4 million increase in the other property class of business, in both catastrophe and non-catastrophe exposed business, reflecting the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition and organic growth.

Net premiums written increased by $18.2 million, or 5.1%, driven by the increase in gross premiums written discussed above, partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums written.

Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 46.8 percentage points, due to a higher impact from large loss events compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Hurricane Milton added 45.9 percentage points to the catastrophe class of business and 32.7 percentage points to the other property class of business.

Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 37.1%, primarily driven by:

– net favorable development of $321.4 million from large catastrophe events across the 2017 to 2023 accident years, including $256.2 million from the weather-related large losses in 2021 and 2022; and

– net favorable development on attritional losses across the other property class of business.

Underwriting expense ratio increased 1.6 percentage points, primarily due to:

– a 1.1 percentage point increase in the acquisition expense ratio, driven by the increase in acquisition expenses from purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to the Validus Acquisition, which added 2.0 percentage points to the acquisition expense ratio in the fourth quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by changes in the mix of business as a result of the continued relative growth in the catastrophe class of business, which has a lower acquisition expense ratio than the other property class of business; and

– a 0.5 percentage point increase in the operating expense ratio primarily due to an increase in operating expenses following the Validus Acquisition.

Combined ratio increased by 28.5 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by 27.5 percentage points, each primarily due to the impact of Hurricane Milton, partially offset by higher favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.

Underwriting Results - Casualty and Specialty Segment: Combined ratio of 103.7% and adjusted combined ratio of 101.3%, with current accident year loss ratio of 69.5%

Gross premiums written increased by $69.3 million, or 4.8%, primarily driven by increases in the other specialty and professional liability classes of business and partially offset by a decrease in the credit class of business.

Net premiums written increased 11.9%, consistent with the drivers for gross premiums written discussed above, in addition to an overall reduction in retrocessional purchases.

Combined ratio increased by 6.4 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by 7.0 percentage points, each primarily due to the increase in the net claims and claim expense ratio.

Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 6.5 percentage points compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by higher losses principally within the general casualty class of business.

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 from the other specialty and credit classes of business.

Fee Income: $77.1 million of fee income, up 8.9% from Q4 2023

Fee Income
	Three months ended December 31,				Q/Q Change

Total fee income	$	77,104	$	70,783	$	6,321

(1)

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 $5.8 million, reflecting growth in the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds, specifically DaVinci and Fontana.

Performance fee income remained strong, driven by positive underwriting results and prior year favorable development.

Investment Results: Net investment income up $51.8 million from Q4 2023; total investment result driven by net realized and unrealized losses, primarily in the fixed maturity investments portfolio

Investment Results
	Three months ended December 31,						Q/Q Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024			2023			Q/Q Change
Net investment income	$	428,810		$	376,962		$	51,848

Net investment income return - annualized		5.3	%		5.7	%	(0.4) pts
Total investment return - annualized		(2.4	)%		15.2	%	(17.6) pts

Net investment income increased $51.8 million, due to a combination of higher average invested assets, primarily resulting from the Validus Acquisition, and higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity investments portfolio.

Net realized and unrealized losses on investments increased by $1.2 billion, principally driven by:

– higher net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments trading of $1.1 billion, primarily due to increases in market yields in Q4 2024, as compared to decreases in Q4 2023; and

– an increase in net realized and unrealized losses on investment-related derivatives of $61.4 million, primarily as a result of increased losses on long interest rate futures from the market yield movements noted above, offset by lower losses on credit default swaps.

Total investments were $32.6 billion at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $29.2 billion). The 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 5.4% and 2.9 years, respectively (December 31, 2023 - 5.8% and 2.6 years, respectively).

Other Items of Note - Fourth Quarter

Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $170.4 million was primarily driven by:

– strong underwriting results in DaVinci and Vermeer;

– net investment income driven by higher average invested assets and higher yielding assets within the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; partially offset by

– net realized and unrealized losses in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds.

Income tax benefit of $63.9 million in Q4 2024, compared to $554.2 million in Q4 2023. The income tax benefit in Q4 2024 was primarily driven by losses in the Company’s U.S. operations, as compared to Q4 2023, which was primarily driven by a net deferred tax benefit of $593.8 million recorded in connection with the enactment of the 15% Bermuda corporate income tax act on December 27, 2023.

Net foreign exchange losses of $48.4 million in Q4 2024, an increase of $60.8 million from Q4 2023. The net foreign exchange losses were driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici which are allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, and the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to underwriting activities.

Share Repurchases of 1.7 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $462.3 million and an average price of $264.43 per common share.

Gross premiums written increased $1.3 billion, or 35.4%, driven by:

– an increase in catastrophe of $850.6 million, or 39.6%, driven by the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition, in conjunction with the retention of legacy lines.

– an increase in other property of $410.8 million, or 29.0%, in both catastrophe and non-catastrophe exposed business, reflecting the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition and organic growth.

Net premiums written increased $866.3 million, or 29.2%, consistent with the changes in gross premiums written, partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums written as part of the Company’s gross-to-net strategy.

Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 11.8 percentage points, primarily as a result of a higher impact from the 2024 Large Loss Events in 2024 compared to the impact from the 2023 Large Loss Events in 2023.

– 2024 Large Loss Events contributed 23.1 percentage points to the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio in 2024, while the 2023 Large Loss Events contributed 11.0 percentage points in 2023.

Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development in 2024 of 21.2%, primarily driven by:

– net favorable development of $622.2 million from the large loss events across the 2017 to 2023 accident years, including $464.4 million from the weather-related large losses in 2021 and 2022, driven by better than expected loss emergence; and

– net favorable development on net attritional losses within the other property class of business.

Combined Ratio increased by 3.8 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by 2.0 percentage points, driven by higher current accident year losses and partially offset by higher prior year favorable development.

See “Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Gross premiums written increased $1.6 billion, or 30.4%, driven by:

– the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition, principally in the other specialty and general casualty classes of business, which grew by $926.5 million and $550.7 million, respectively, compared to 2023; and

– organic growth of legacy lines, particularly within the other specialty class of business.

Net premiums written increased 36.0%, consistent with the drivers discussed for gross premiums written above, in addition to an overall reduction in retrocessional purchases.

Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 3.3 percentage points, primarily driven by higher attritional losses within certain casualty lines of business, and the impact of event losses on catastrophe exposed lines within the other specialty class of business.

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 from the other specialty and credit classes of business.

Underwriting expense ratio increased 1.4 percentage points due to the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Validus Acquisition.

Combined ratio increased by 5.2 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by 3.8 percentage points, each primarily due to the increase in net claims and claim expense ratio.

Fee Income: $326.8 million of fee income; up 38.0% from 2023; increase in both management and performance fees

Management fee income increased by $43.3 million, reflecting growth in the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds, specifically DaVinci and Fontana, as well as the recording of management fees in DaVinci in 2024 that were deferred in 2022 and 2021 as a result of the weather-related large losses experienced in prior years. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in fees associated with the reduction in capital managed at Upsilon.

Performance fee income increased $46.7 million, driven by improved current year underwriting results, primarily in DaVinci, Upsilon and the Company’s structured reinsurance products.

Investment Results: Total investment result of $1.6 billion, driven by net investment income of $1.7 billion and partially offset by net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $27.8 million

Total investment return		5.4	%		6.9	%	(1.5) pts

Net investment income increased $401.2 million, due to a combination of higher average invested assets, primarily resulting from the Validus Acquisition, and higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity investments portfolio.

Net realized and unrealized losses on investments increased $442.4 million, principally driven by:

– net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments trading of $246.4 million in 2024, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $292.1 million in 2023, primarily due to increases in yields on longer duration assets during 2024, compared to decreases in 2023; and

– an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on other investments of $159.4 million, driven by an increase in the value of the Company’s investment in TWFG as a result of TWFG, Inc.’s initial public offering in the third quarter of 2024.

Other Items of Note - Full Year and Subsequent Events

Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $1.1 billion was primarily driven by:

– strong underwriting results in DaVinci and Vermeer;

– 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;

– net realized and unrealized gains on catastrophe bonds recorded during the year in Medici; partially offset by

– net realized and unrealized losses in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds.

Income tax expense of $32.6 million in 2024 compared to an income tax benefit of $510.1 million in 2023. The income tax expense in 2024 was primarily driven by operating income in the Company’s taxable jurisdictions; partially offset by a $33.7 million deferred tax benefit resulting from the merger of RenaissanceRe Europe AG and Validus Switzerland completed in the second quarter. The income tax benefit in 2023 was primarily driven by a net deferred tax benefit of $593.8 million recorded in connection with the enactment of the 15% Bermuda corporate income tax on December 27, 2023.

Net foreign exchange losses of $76.1 million in 2024 compared to a loss of $41.5 million in 2023. The net foreign exchange losses for 2024 and 2023 were driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici which are allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, and the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to underwriting activities.

Raised third party capital in 2024 of $857.4 million, primarily through DaVinci ($300.0 million), Medici ($199.6 million), Fontana ($100.0 million) and Vermeer ($175.0 million).

Return of third-party capital in 2024 of $1.4 billion, including:

– $396.9 million of distributions from DaVinci, Vermeer, Medici and Top Layer, following strong earnings across these vehicles;

– $332.9 million from Upsilon Diversified as a result of the release of collateral associated with prior years’ contracts; and

– the remainder from redemptions from third-party investors rebalancing their portfolios, primarily because of the strong results noted above.

Effective January 1, 2025, raised third party capital of $237.8 million in DaVinci, Medici and Fontana and returned third party capital of $99.0 million in DaVinci and Fontana. Following these transactions, the Company’s ownership in DaVinci, Medici and Fontana was 24.3%, 16.5% and 28.7%, respectively.

Share repurchases of 2.7 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $677.6 million and an average price of $249.93 per common share in 2024. Repurchased an additional 546.9 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $137.7 million from January 1, 2025 through January 24, 2025.
The California wildfires, commencing in January 2025, have led to a range of publicly available industry insured loss estimates. The Company expects its pre-tax net negative impact to be approximately 1.5% of the California wildfires’ aggregate industry insured loss. Based on a $50 billion aggregate industry insured loss, the Company estimates a pre-tax net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders of approximately $750 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s assessment of the impact from the California wildfires is preliminary, and is based on, among other things, initial industry insured loss estimates, market share analysis, the application of modeling techniques, a review of in-force contracts and potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries. It is difficult at this time to provide an accurate estimate of the financial impact of the California wildfires, including as a result of the preliminary nature of the information provided thus far by industry participants, the magnitude and recency of the California wildfires, and other factors.

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).

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 the events, 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.

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, Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders per Common Share – Diluted 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) expenses or revenues associated with acquisitions, dispositions and impairments, (4) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, (5) the Bermuda net deferred tax asset, (6) the income tax expense or benefit associated with these adjustments, and (7) 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 management and investors because they provide for better comparability and more accurately measure the Company’s results of operations and remove variability.

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.” Comparative information for the prior periods presented have 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 per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, and (3) other goodwill and intangible assets. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, and (3) other goodwill and intangible assets, 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 and acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. 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.” Comparative information for the prior periods presented have been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.

Adjusted Combined Ratio

The Company has included in this Press Release “adjusted combined ratio” for the company, its segments and certain classes of business. “Adjusted combined ratio” is defined as the combined ratio adjusted for the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting, which includes the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments related to the amortization (accretion) of VOBA and acquisition costs, and the fair value adjustments to the net reserve for claims and claim expenses for the acquisitions of Validus, TMR and Platinum. The combined ratio is calculated as the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) acquisition expenses, and (3) operational expenses; divided by net premiums earned. The acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments impact net claims and claim expenses incurred and acquisition expenses. The Company’s management believes “adjusted combined ratio” is useful to management and investors because it provides for better comparability and more accurately measures the Company’s underlying underwriting performance. The following table is a reconciliation of combined ratio to “adjusted combined ratio.”
