PartnerRe Interim Chief Executive Officer David Zwiener said, “Our results this quarter reflect a number of factors, most notably the amalgamation termination fee paid to Axis Capital, and continued difficult financial and investment markets, both of which had a negative impact on our book value. Despite the noise, and the impact of the Chinese Tianjin loss in August, our underlying results remain strong. All in, we posted a 1.4 point improvement in our Non-life combined ratio to 82.8% when compared to the third quarter of 2014. Our Life and Health portfolios also remain strong. Overall for the third quarter, we recorded an operating ROE of 14%, which on the back of our solid performance for the first half of 2015, resulted in an operating ROE of 10.5% for the year to date.”
Commenting on market conditions, PartnerRe President Emmanuel Clarke, said, “As we look ahead to the important January renewal season, which accounts for more than 60% of our Non-life treaty premium, reinsurance markets remain competitive across the board. In addition, M&A activity is continuing to be a distraction for some market participants. At PartnerRe, however, we continue to distinguish ourselves with our clients as a stable and focused partner with long-term financial flexibility, and a proven track record of reliability.”
Highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 include:
Results of operations:
| |
| • | For the third quarter, net premiums written of $1.2 billion were down 11%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 5% primarily driven by decreases reported in the Catastrophe and North America Non-life sub-segments. For the first nine months of 2015, net premiums written of $4.2 billion were down 7%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 1% primarily due to the Catastrophe and North America Non-Life sub-segments. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Life and Health segment. |
| |
| • | For the third quarter, net premiums earned of $1.4 billion were down 9%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums earned were down 3% primarily due to the Catastrophe and North America Non-life sub-segments. For the first nine months of 2015, net premiums earned of $4.0 billion were down 5%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums earned were up 2%, primarily due to the Life and Health segment, and, to a lesser extent, the Global Specialty and Global (Non-U.S.) P&C Non-life sub-segments. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the Catastrophe Non-life sub-segment. |
| |
| • | For the third quarter, the Non-life combined ratio was 82.8%. The combined ratio benefited from favorable prior year development of 22.2 points (or $246 million) and included 5.4 points (or $60 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin explosion. All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development from prior accident years during the third quarter of 2015. For the first nine months of 2015, the Non-life combined ratio was 85.3%. The combined ratio benefited from favorable prior year development of 21.0 points (or $644 million) and included 2.0 points (or $60 |

| |
million) of large losses related to the Tianjin explosion. All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the first nine months of 2015.
| |
| • | For the third quarter, other expenses of $416 million include the termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital of $315 million, or $6.58 per diluted share. Additionally, other expenses include other Axis Capital and Exor transaction related expenses of $7 million, pre-tax, or $0.15 per diluted share, pre-tax.

| |
| • | For the third quarter, net investment income of $117 million was down 1%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net investment income was up 3% reflecting additional income from higher yielding securities. For the first nine months of 2015, net investment income of $342 million was down 6%.

| |
| • | For the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment losses were $133 million and $273 million, respectively, primarily reflecting widening U.S. and European credit spreads and decreases in worldwide equity markets. The losses in net realized and unrealized investment losses for the third quarter were partially offset by decreases in longer-term U.S. and European risk-free rates. |
| |
| • | For the third quarter, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating losses was 12.9% and 3.4%, respectively. For the first nine months of 2015, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating losses was 15.2% and 1.7%, respectively. |
Balance sheet and capitalization:
| |
| • | Total investments, cash and funds held – directly managed were $16.3 billion at September 30, 2015, down 5% compared to December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to cash flows out of the portfolio to fund the termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital, the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, and the widening of U.S. and European credit spreads. |
| |
| • | Net Non-life loss and loss expense reserves were $9.3 billion at September 30, 2015, down 2% compared to December 31, 2014, primarily reflecting the impacts of foreign exchange. |
| |
| • | Net policy benefits for life and annuity contracts were $2.1 billion at September 30, 2015, up 3% compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to growth in the business, which was partially offset by the impacts of foreign exchange. |
| |
| • | Total capital was $7.6 billion at September 30, 2015, down 3% compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to the net loss for the first nine months of 2015 and common and preferred dividend payments. |

| |

| |
| • | For the third quarter, the North America sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 10%.

| |
| • | For the third quarter, the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 7%.

| |
| |
| • | For the third quarter, the Global Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 9%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 2% primarily due to downward premium adjustments in multiple lines of business and the impact of cancellations in prior periods across multiple lines of business. These decreases in net premiums written were partially offset by new business written in prior periods across multiple lines of business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 83.2%, which included 25.6 points (or $104 million) of net favorable prior year loss development, and included 4.6 points (or $19 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin explosion. For the first nine months of 2015, the Global Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 8%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 1% primarily due to cancellations, reduced participations and downward prior year premium adjustments across multiple lines of business, which were partially offset by new business written across multiple lines of business in prior periods and lower premiums ceded under the Company's retrocessional programs. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 78.7%, which included 28.3 points (or $323 million) of net favorable prior year loss development, and included 1.6 points (or $19 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin explosion. |
| |
| • | For the third quarter, the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 75%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 65% primarily due to higher premiums ceded under the Company's retrocessional programs and, to a lesser extent, cancellations and non-renewals. These decreases in net premiums written were partially offset by new business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 33.6%, which included 1.3 points (or $2 million) of net favorable prior year loss development, and included 14.5 points (or $16 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin explosion. For the first nine months of 2015, the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 29%.

Life and Health:
| |
| • | For the third quarter, the Life and Health segment’s net premiums written were down 8%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were up 1% with the increase primarily driven by PartnerRe Health’s accident and health line of business, which was partially offset by decreases in the longevity and mortality lines of business. For the first nine months of 2015, the Life and Health segment’s net premiums written were up 1%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were up 9% primarily driven by PartnerRe Health’s accident and health line of business, an increase in our participation on a significant longevity treaty and new short-term business written in the mortality line. |

| |
| • | For the third quarter, the Life and Health segment’s allocated underwriting result, which includes allocated investment income and other expenses, decreased to $18 million compared to $20 million in the same period of 2014. This decrease was primarily due to adverse prior year loss development related to the GMDB line of business partially offset by increased favorable prior year loss development on PartnerRe Health's accident and health line of business. For the first nine months of 2015, the Life and Health segment’s allocated underwriting result, which includes allocated investment income and other expenses, increased to $69 million compared to $52 million in the same period of 2014 primarily due to an increase in net favorable prior year loss development. |
Corporate and Other:
| |
| • | For the third quarter, investment activities contributed losses of $34 million to the pre-tax net loss, excluding investment income allocated to the Life and Health segment. Of this amount, income of $100 million was included in pre-tax operating earnings and a loss of $134 million related to net realized and unrealized losses on investments and losses from equity method investee companies was included in pre-tax non-operating losses.

Net income/loss per share is defined as net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe common shareholders is defined as net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe less preferred dividends and loss on redemption of preferred shares.

Operating earnings/loss per share is defined as operating earnings/loss divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period.
The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on beginning diluted book value per common and common share equivalents outstanding to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the impact of after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments (except where the Company has made a strategic investment in an insurance or reinsurance related investee), after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses, the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity method investments (except where the Company has made a strategic investment in an insurance or reinsurance related investee and where the Company does not control the investees activities), certain after-tax withholding taxes on inter-company dividends (included in other expenses) and the amalgamation termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital (included in other expenses).
The Company uses technical ratio and technical result as measures of underwriting performance. The technical ratio is defined as the sum of the loss and acquisition ratios. These metrics exclude other expenses.
The Company also uses combined ratio to measure results for the Non-life segment. The combined ratio is the sum of the technical and other expense ratios.
The Company uses allocated underwriting result as a measure of underwriting performance for its Life and Health operations. This metric is defined as net premiums earned, other income or loss and allocated net investment income less life policy benefits, acquisition costs and other expenses.
The Company uses total capital, which is defined as total shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe, long-term debt, senior notes and CENts, to manage the capital structure of the Company.
The Company calculates Tangible Book Value using common shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax. The Company calculates Diluted Tangible Book Value per Common Share using Tangible Book Value divided by the number of PartnerRe common shares
