PEMBROKE, Bermuda, July 25, 2005 -- PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported net income of $159.9 million, or $2.72 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2005. This net income includes net after-tax realized gains on investments of $37.0 million or $0.67 per share. Net income for the second quarter of 2004 including net after-tax realized gains on investments of $10.1 million or $0.19 per share, was $119.8 million or $2.12 per share. Operating earnings for the second quarter of 2005 were $114.3 million or $2.05 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to operating earnings of $104.9 million, or $1.93 per share, for the second quarter of 2004. Operating earnings exclude net after-tax realized investment gains and losses and are calculated after payment of preferred dividends. All references to per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.
PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Thiele, said, “Our results this quarter were favorably impacted by a low level of large losses, in contrast to an above average amount of such events in the first quarter of 2005. For the first half of 2005, we achieved a 13% annualized operating return on equity with rapidly growing investment income somewhat offsetting declining premium volume and underwriting profitability that are characteristic of this stage of the reinsurance pricing cycle.
“Our GAAP book value per share increased 6% in the quarter to $53.32, reflecting our operating profits and improved market values in our investment portfolio. On a trailing 12-month basis, our book value is up 19%. Our goal is to grow book value at an average annual rate of at least 10% over the cycle, and we remain committed to building significant shareholder value throughout all stages of the cycle.”

Results by Segment
The Non-Life segment reported net premiums written of $651 million for the second quarter, down 11% as compared to last year. The combined ratio was 89.4% for the second quarter compared to 92.2% for the same period in 2004. The Non-Life technical result was $131 million for the second quarter of 2005, compared to $112 million in 2004. Factors contributing to the year-over-year change in technical result include an $80 million reduction in earned premium in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004; net reductions to prior period reserves of $66 million during the second quarter of 2005 compared to $30 million in the second quarter of 2004; and lower underwriting year profitability in 2005 as a result of rate reductions, partially offset by lower than average large loss activity, when compared to the same period in 2004. For the first six months, Non-Life net premiums written were $1.9 billion, down 11% from the same period in 2004. The six month technical result was $206 million, compared to $238 million for the same period in 2004. The combined ratio for the six month period was 93.3% compared to 91.5% in 2004.
The U.S. Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 20% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $150 million, down 25% over the prior year’s second quarter.Half of the reduction is the result of prior underwriting year premium adjustments, with the balance due to higher retentions by cedants and PartnerRe’s decision to decline some business. Net premiums earned decreased 14% during the quarter when compared to the same period in 2004. The technical ratio for this subsegment was stable at 94.4%, compared to 94.5% in the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, net premiums written declined by 20% to $462 million.

Commentary and Outlook
“The markets are following their typical cycles, as expected,” Mr. Thiele said. “Generally, we are seeing increased retentions by ceding companies and strong supply of reinsurance capacity. Conditions in the U.S. are generally stronger than elsewhere in the world, and longer tail casualty lines are holding up better than shorter tail programs, with the exception of accounts impacted by losses from the 2004 catastrophes. Our premium volume is down as a result of both the higher retentions on the part of cedants, as well as our declining to write business that does not meet our profitability and/or terms and conditions targets. Accordingly, we now expect our net written premium for 2005 to be down 5-10% from 2004.”
Mr. Thiele added, “We continue to believe that PartnerRe with its solid balance sheet, strong franchise, dual distribution channels, and local market presence remains well-positioned to achieve adequate returns in this more difficult environment.”
_____________________________________________
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.
