Commentary and Outlook
“Non-life market conditions at July 1 were mixed, with only selected specialty lines and Global P&C lines showing improvement. Within that environment, we grew our renewal book by approximately 11% (on a constant exchange basis) with expected profitability that is in-line with our long-term targets.”
Mr. Thiele added, “We remain focused on maintaining a well-balanced portfolio of attractively priced risks under any and all market conditions. Our planned acquisition of PARIS RE is consistent with that objective, and will provide us with both increased diversification of risk and significant growth opportunities at a time when industry demand is likely to remain stagnant. This acquisition will also enhance our financial strength and flexibility through the addition of approximately $1.7 billion in incremental shareholders’ equity. We are confident that the larger and stronger PartnerRe will be better able to achieve its financial goals, with reduced risk, in the uncertain environment we are facing.”
The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on beginning common shareholders’ equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the impact of net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, net of tax, net realized gain on the purchase of the CENts, net of tax, nor the interest in earnings/losses of equity investments, net of tax, where the Company does not control the investee companies’ activities. 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 operating 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 operating expense ratios. The Company uses total capital, which is defined as total shareholders’ equity, long-term debt, senior notes and capital efficient notes, to manage the capital structure of the Company.
