PEMBROKE, Bermuda, October 26, 2004 -- PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported net income of $83.2 million, or $1.46 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2004. This net income includes net after-tax realized gains on investments of $21.0 million or $0.39 per share. Net income for the third quarter of 2003, including net after-tax realized gains on investments of $15.3 million or $0.29 per share, was $116.9 million or $2.08 per share. Operating earnings for the third quarter of 2004 were $57.3 million or $1.07 per share on a fully diluted basis. Operating earnings exclude net after-tax realized investment gains and losses and are calculated after payment of preferred dividends. This compares to operating earnings of $96.7 million, or $1.79 per share, for the third quarter of 2003. All references to per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.
PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Thiele said, “The third quarter saw an exceptionally active hurricane and typhoon season with the cost of natural disasters reaching a new record for the industry. In this difficult environment, PartnerRe continued to achieve very credible operating results with annualized operating returns on equity of 10% for the quarter and 16% for the year-to-date. Additionally, book value per share has grown 11% to a new record level of $47.35 on a year-to-date basis. This clearly demonstrates that the excellent portfolio diversification that we have achieved over the past six years is resulting in consistently high quality and stable earnings.”

Results of Operations
“PartnerRe performed exceptionally well during the third quarter despite being challenged by difficult conditions in the catastrophe business,” Mr. Thiele said. “Our Non-Life combined ratio of 99.5% included $137 million or 16 points from the four Florida/Caribbean hurricanes. The fact that we were able to withstand that level of loss and still remain profitable is a testament to both our treaty underwriting skills and the excellent spread of business that PartnerRe has achieved.”
Results by Segment
The Non-Life segment reported net premiums written of $707.1 million for the quarter, up 4% as compared to last year. Timing differences in the recording of written premiums affect quarterly year-over-year comparisons, and therefore, the year-to-date written premium growth rate is more reflective of the full-year trend. For the first nine months, Non-Life net premiums written were $2.9 billion, representing an increase of 10%. The combined ratio was 99.5% for the third quarter compared to 93.1% for the same period in 2003. The Non-Life technical result was $52.8 million compared to $102.9 million for the third quarter of 2003. The results for this quarter include $43.2 million of net reductions to prior year reserves. The nine month technical result was $290.6 million, compared to $303.6 million for the same period in 2003. The combined ratio for the nine month period was 94.2% compared to 92.6% in 2003.
The U.S. Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 29% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $233.7 million, up 18% over the prior year’s third quarter. Net premiums earned increased 7% during the quarter when compared to the same period in 2003. The technical ratio for this sub-segment was 118.1%, compared to 102.8% in the third quarter of 2003, primarily reflecting the increased level of large losses relating to the four Atlantic hurricanes, as well as approximately $17.8 million in additions to prior year reserves. For the first nine months of 2004, net premiums

written increased 10% to $810.5 million. The nine-month technical ratio was 102.0%, compared to 98.1% in 2003.
The Global (Non-U.S.) Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 19% of total net premiums written, reported net premiums written of $154.7 million for the third quarter of 2004, compared to $165.0 million for the same period in 2003. Timing differences in the recording of premiums affected the quarterly comparison, and therefore the year-to-date written premium growth rate is more reflective of the full-year-trend. For the nine months of 2004, net premiums written increased 25% to $821.0 million. Net premiums earned during the quarter were $212.9 million, up 10% from $193.6 million in last year’s third quarter. The technical ratio for this sub-segment for the third quarter was 99.7% compared to 113.8% for the same period in 2003, reflecting strong results in both property and casualty lines, as well as approximately $16.1 million in net reductions to prior year reserves. The nine-month technical ratio was 101.2%, compared to 99.8% in 2003.
The Worldwide Specialty business, which represented approximately 40% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $318.7 million for the third quarter, essentially flat with the same prior year period. Net premiums earned were down 5% for the quarter, compared to the same period in 2003. This sub-segment’s technical ratio was 76.4%, compared to 67.4% for the third quarter of 2003, reflecting the increased level of large catastrophe losses during the quarter, partially offset by net reserve reductions for prior years of approximately $44.8 million. For the nine-month period, net premiums written increased 3% to $1.3 billion. The nine-month technical ratio was 72.2%, compared to 74.0% in 2003.
The Life segment, which markets coverages primarily in Europe, Canada and Latin America, and represented approximately 12% of total net premiums written in the quarter, reported net premiums written of $97.0 million for the quarter, reflecting 60% growth over the third quarter of 2003. The allocated underwriting result was breakeven for the quarter, compared to a similar result in the third quarter of 2003. For the nine-month period, net premiums written increased 36% to $283.7 million, with an allocated underwriting loss of $3.5 million, compared to a gain of $3.2 million for the comparable period in 2003.
The ART (Alternative Risk Transfer) segment comprises finite reinsurance, structured finance, weather related products, and the results of the Company’s recent investment in Channel Re. Premiums are not a representative measure of activity in ART, as reinsurance accounting does not apply for much of the business in this segment. The ART segment recognizes reinsurance revenues, gross margins, net spreads, or changes in the value of derivative instruments on its various transactions either on the “premium written”, “premium

earned”, “investment income”, or “other income” line of the income statement, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The underwriting result for this segment was a gain of $1 million for the third quarter of 2004, comparable to a similar result in the third quarter of 2003.
Commentary and Outlook
“As we enter the important January 1 renewal season, we remain realistic about the state of the global reinsurance market,” said Mr. Thiele. “While we expect the recent natural catastrophes and competitive dislocations to have a steadying influence on pricing in some lines, we continue to expect prices and terms and conditions to be more competitive at January 1. We think this is an excellent environment to highlight PartnerRe’s financial strength and underwriting and relationship management skills.
“As for the remainder of 2004, we believe we can achieve our stated plan for the year of a minimum of $6.90 in operating earnings per share, assuming a reasonable level of large losses during the fourth quarter.”
_____________________________________________The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and operating return on beginning common shareholders’ equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains and losses from the sale of investments, which is driven by the timing of the disposition of investments and not by our operating performance. For planning purposes, the Company does not anticipate realized investment gains or losses. The Company also uses technical ratio and technical result as measures of underwriting performance. These metrics exclude overhead expenses. All references to per share amounts in this press release are on the basis of fully diluted shares. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statement amounts to conform to the current year presentation and the new segment presentation.
