PEMBROKE, Bermuda, April 26, 2005 -- PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported net income of $111.4 million, or $1.84 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2005. This net income includes net after-tax realized gains on investments of $35.2 million or $0.63 per share. Net income for the first quarter of 2004, including net after-tax realized gains on investments of $31.0 million or $0.57 per share, was $145.6 million or $2.59 per share. Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2005 were $67.6 million or $1.21 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 $109.7 million, or $2.02 per share, for the first quarter of 2004. All references to per share amounts in the text of this press release are on a fully diluted basis.
Commenting on the first quarter 2005 results, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Patrick Thiele said, “Our results this quarter reflect a high level of large loss activity. The single largest loss was Winterstorm Erwin at $63 million which hit Northern Europe in early January; our results were also impacted by a $20 million energy loss in Canada. Our experience is within the volatility pattern we expect in a year.
“Our GAAP book value per share was negatively impacted by rising interest rates as we mark our assets to market, but not our liabilities,” Mr. Thiele added. “Nevertheless, we continue to build economic shareholder value.”

an increasingly competitive marketplace and primary carriers retaining more business. In the April 1 renewal, we saw a continuation of a weakening marketplace, but again at a gradual pace.
“Notwithstanding the normal volatility that we expect as a result of large losses, PartnerRe remains well-placed to succeed in this more difficult market, and we are committed to continuing to build shareholder value throughout the remainder of 2005 and over the long term.”
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 other operating expenses. All references to per share amounts in the text of this press release are on the basis of fully diluted shares.
