The Company reported operating earnings of $133.5 million, or $2.60 per share, for the second quarter of 2014.

Commenting on results, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Costas Miranthis said, “We had a good second quarter, on the back of the strong results we posted in the first quarter. Our seasonal earnings pattern for catastrophe premium resulted in lower cat premiums earned during the second quarter. In addition, we experienced a higher than average number of mid-sized individual non-catastrophe losses, an area where we expect some quarterly volatility. We are pleased however that the underlying loss ratio on attritional losses continues to be healthy. We also had very strong investment performance during the

| |
quarter. All together, this culminated in us growing our dividend-adjusted tangible book value per share by 10.8% for the first six months of 2014.”
Mr. Miranthis added, “Market conditions remain very competitive and excess reinsurance capacity is putting pressure on premium rates as well as on terms and conditions. While this is a difficult market, I am confident that our experienced teams coupled with the strength of our franchise will enable us to tackle the challenges ahead.”
Highlights for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 include:
Results of operations:
| |
| • | For the second quarter, net premiums written of $1.4 billion were up 8%, or 7% on a constant foreign exchange basis. The increase was driven by the Life and Health segment and the North America and Global Specialty Non-life sub-segments. The increase was primarily driven by PartnerRe Health's accident and health business in the Life and Health segment and new business written at the January 1 renewals across multiple lines of business in the North America and Global Specialty Non-life sub-segments. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the Catastrophe and Global (Non-U.S.) P&C Non-life sub-segments. For the first six months of 2014, net premiums written of $3.2 billion were up 7% primarily due to the same factors describing the second quarter. |
| |
| • | For the second quarter, net premiums earned of $1.4 billion were up 12%, or 11% on a constant foreign exchange basis. The increase was primarily driven by PartnerRe Health's business in the Life and Health segment and the earning of new business written in 2013 and 2014 in the North America and Global Specialty Non-life sub-segments. For the first six months of 2014, net premiums earned of $2.6 billion were up 11%, or 10% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to the same factors describing the second quarter. |
| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Non-life combined ratio was 91.5%. The combined ratio benefited from favorable prior year development of 15.4 points (or $161 million). Except for the Catastrophe sub-segment, all other Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the second quarter. For the first six months of 2014, the Non-life combined ratio was 87.8%. The combined ratio benefited from favorable prior year development of 16.0 points (or $325 million). All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the first six months of 2014. |
| |
| • | For the second quarter, net investment income of $130 million was up 4%, or 3% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily driven by the impact of a rise in the U.S. Consumer Price Index on our Treasury Inflation Protected Securities portfolio and certain other one-time favorable adjustments, partially offset by lower reinvestment rates. For the first six months of 2014, net |

| |
investment income of $247 million was down 1% primarily reflecting lower reinvestment rates, partially offset by various factors.
| |
| • | For the second quarter and first six months of 2014, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment gains were $166 million and $308 million, respectively, primarily reflecting decreases in longer-term risk-free interest rates, narrowing credit spreads, and improvements in worldwide equity markets. |
| |
| • | For the second quarter, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating earnings was 16% and 28%, respectively. For the first six months of 2014, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating earnings was 15% and 24%, respectively. |

| |
| • | Total capital was $7.7 billion at June 30, 2014, up 3% compared to December 31, 2013 primarily driven by net income for the first six months of 2014, which was partially offset by share repurchases and common and preferred dividend payments. |
| |
| • | The Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million common shares at a total cost of approximately $133 million during the second quarter of 2014.

| |

Non-life:
| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Non-life segment’s net premiums written were up 3%.

| |
| • | For the second quarter, the North America sub-segment’s net premiums written were up 9% primarily driven by new business written in the agriculture, multi-line and credit/surety lines of business at the January 1, 2014 renewals. The increases were partially offset by cancellations and renewal decreases in the property line of business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 87.6%, which included 17.3 points (or $68 million) of net favorable prior year loss development. For the first six months of 2014, the North America sub-segment’s net premiums written were up 14% primarily due to the same factors describing the second quarter and due to the restructuring of a significant treaty in the agriculture line of business.

| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 6%, or 7% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to downward prior year premium adjustments in the motor line of business and cancellations in the property line of business. These decreases were partially offset by new business written in the motor line of business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 82.5%, which included 16.2 points (or $30 million) of net favorable prior year loss development. For the first six months of 2014, the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 3%, or 4% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily driven by cancellations due to pricing, increased retentions, and share decreases in the property line of business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 82.5%, which included 21.0 points (or $77 million) of net favorable prior year loss development. |
| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Global Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were up 6%, or 4% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to new business written in prior periods in the specialty casualty, multi-line and agriculture lines of business. These increases were partially offset by lower premium adjustments in the engineering line of business and cancellations in the marine line of business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 90.7%, which included 17.1 points (or $69 million) of net favorable prior year loss development and 4.5 points (or $18 million) of net adverse prior quarter development.

| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 9%, or 8% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to the impact of reinstatement premiums |

| |
related to the European and Canadian floods in the second quarter of 2013. New business written during the second quarter was offset by cancellations, non-renewals and the restructuring of certain treaties. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 46.4%, which included 10.2 points (or $6 million) of net adverse prior year loss development. For the first six months of 2014, the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 13%, or 12% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to the same factors describing the second quarter. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 10.5%, which included 20.2 points (or $28 million) of net favorable prior year loss development.
Life and Health:
| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Life and Health segment’s net premiums written were up 34%, or 29% on a constant foreign exchange basis. The increase was primarily driven by PartnerRe Health’s accident and health line of business and, to a lesser extent, the mortality and longevity lines of business. For the first six months of 2014, the Life and Health segment’s net premiums written were up 23%, or 20% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to the same factors describing the second quarter. |
| |
| • | For the second quarter, the Life and Health segment’s allocated underwriting result, which includes allocated investment income and operating expenses, decreased to $18 million compared to $19 million in the same period of 2013 primarily due to a lower level of net favorable prior year loss development, which was partially offset by increased profitability from the PartnerRe Health business. For the first six months of 2014, the Life and Health segment’s allocated underwriting result, which includes allocated investment income and operating expenses, decreased to $32 million compared to $35 million in the same period of 2013 primarily due to the same factors describing the second quarter. |

| |
| • | For the second quarter, investment and capital markets activities contributed income of $290 million to pre-tax net income, excluding investment income allocated to the Life and Health segment. Of this amount, income of $119 million was included in pre-tax operating earnings and income of $171 million related to net realized and unrealized gains on investments and earnings from equity method investee companies was included in pre-tax non-operating earnings.
