Net negative impact of the Q1 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.

Combined ratio		56.6	%		70.1	%	(13.5) pts

Gross premiums written decreased by $39.3 million, or 2.9%, driven by:
- $81.8 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, partially offset by;
- $42.5 million increase in the property catastrophe class of business, principally driven by rate improvements on deals written in the first quarter of 2023; which were partially offset by a reduction of $149.6 million of premiums written by Upsilon, as well as a reduction in gross reinstatement premiums of $49.5 million, compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Net premiums written increased by $129.7 million, or 14.6%, driven by:
- $214.7 million increase in the property catastrophe class of business, driven by rate improvements and lower ceded premiums written, partially offset by a reduction in net reinstatement premiums of $44.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. This was partially offset by;
- $85.0 million decrease in the other property class of business.
Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year decreased 5.5 percentage points, primarily as a result of a lower impact from large loss events in the current quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2022.
- Q1 2023 Large Loss Events contributed 11.7 percentage points to the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio, compared to the weather-related large losses in the first quarter of 2022, which contributed 17.8 percentage points.
Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects net favorable development, primarily from weather-related large losses in the 2017 through 2021 accident years, driven by better than expected loss emergence.
Underwriting expense ratio increased 1.2 percentage points, largely driven by the reduction in reinstatement premiums discussed above.

Underwriting Results - Casualty and Specialty Segment: Combined ratio of 92.9% and underwriting income of $70.9 million

Casualty and Specialty Segment

Combined ratio		92.9	%		98.2	%	(5.3) pts

Gross premiums written decreased 7.1% reflecting decreases in casualty classes of business, principally in professional liability, and partially offset by growth in the other specialty class of business.
Net premiums written decreased 2.4% as the impact from decreases in gross premiums written was partially offset by a reduction in ceded premiums written.
Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year decreased by 3.1 percentage points as compared to the first quarter of 2022, due to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine War in 2022, which contributed 3.1 percentage points in the first quarter of 2022.
Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects higher favorable prior accident year loss development of 2.2 percentage points, driven by favorable experience in other specialty and credit classes of business.

Fee Income: $44.8 million of fee income, up 58% from Q1 2022; increase in both management and performance fees.

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

Total fee income	$	44,772	$	28,349	$	16,423

(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 $13.7 million, reflecting increased capital managed at DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinci”), Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Vermeer”), RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), and Fontana Holdings L.P. and its subsidiaries, as well as the recording of previously deferred management fees in DaVinci as a result of the weather-related large losses experienced in the prior years.
Performance fee income increased $2.7 million, driven by favorable development on prior years’ events primarily in DaVinci and certain of our structured reinsurance products.

Investment Results: Total investment result improved $1.1 billion; 203.9% growth in net investment income

Investment Results
	Three months ended March 31,						Q/Q Change
(in thousands, except percentages)		2023			2022		Q/Q Change
Net investment income	$	254,378		$	83,691		$	170,687
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments		279,451			(673,017	)		952,468
Total investment result	$	533,829		$	(589,326	)	$	1,123,155
Total investment return - annualized		10.0	%		(10.2	)%	20.2 pts

Net investment income increased $170.7 million, primarily driven by 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.
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments increased $952.5 million, principally driven by:
- Net realized and unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments trading of $207.3 million, which includes net unrealized gains of $312.0 million, reflecting the impact of decreasing interest rates on U.S. treasuries in the first quarter of 2023. This compares to net realized and unrealized losses of $585.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 resulting from increases in interest rates.
- Equity investments contributed net realized and unrealized gains of $30.4 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $48.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Both the current and comparative quarter equity investment results were in line with wider equity market movements.
Total investments were $23.2 billion at March 31, 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 5.7% 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 $267.4 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 investments recorded during the quarter in the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds.
Raised third-party capital of $621.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, comprised of $377.2 million in DaVinci and $244.0 million in Medici. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, raised an additional $145.9 million in Medici.
Redemptions of third-party capital of $207.3 million during the first quarter of 2023, of which $139.4 million was from Upsilon, reducing the size of Upsilon as a result of the release of collateral associated with prior years’ contracts.
Income tax expense of $28.9 million compared to a benefit of $36.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by investment gains and an increase in operating income in the Company’s U.S.-based operations compared to investment losses and lower operating income in the first quarter of 2022.

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 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) the income tax expense or benefit associated with these adjustments and (4) 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 these adjustments. 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) 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.”
