PEMBROKE, Bermuda, October 31, 2012 —PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE, Euronext: PRE) today reported net income of $486.7 million, or $7.53 per share for the third quarter of 2012. This net income includes net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $221.8 million, or $3.55 per share. Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $180.1 million, or $2.43 per share, including net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $6.2 million, or $0.09 per share. The Company recorded operating earnings of $244.4 million, or $3.90 per share, for the third quarter of 2012. This compares to operating earnings of $164.5 million, or $2.41 per share, for the third quarter of 2011.
Net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $1,023.0 million, or $15.19 per share. This net income includes net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $399.4 million, or $6.21 per share. Net loss for the first nine months of 2011 was $502.6 million, or $7.88 per share, including net after-tax realized and unrealized losses on investments of $41.3 million, or $0.61 per share. Operating earnings for the first nine months of 2012 were $568.1 million, or $8.84 per share. This compares to an operating loss of $503.9 million, or $7.43 per share, for the first nine months of 2011.
Operating earnings or loss excludes net after-tax realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, net after-tax foreign exchange gains and losses, and certain net after-tax interest in results of equity investments, and is calculated after the payment of preferred dividends. All references to per share amounts in the text of this press release are on a fully diluted basis.
Commenting on results for the third quarter of 2012, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Costas Miranthis said, “We had an excellent third quarter, generating an operating return on equity of 18%, driven by strong underwriting results and below average large loss experience. All in for the first nine months of 2012, our solid underwriting performance resulted in a Non-life combined ratio of 85.1% and an operating return on equity of 14%. While net investment income reflects the continued difficult investment environment, we recorded significant gains in our investment portfolio due to tightening credit spreads, improved equity markets and lower risk free rates. As a result we grew our book value per share over 8% in the quarter and 17% year-to-date.”

| News Release | | |
Highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 include:
Results of operations:
| | • | | For the third quarter, net premiums written of $1.0 billion were down 3%, or up 1% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily related to positive prior year estimated premium adjustments in the North America sub-segment and new business in the Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segment. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written due to the reductions in certain exposures and differences in the timing of renewals compared to the third quarter of 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, net premiums written were up 1%, or up 4% on a constant foreign exchange basis, due to new business across all sub-segments, except for the Catastrophe sub-segment which declined due to reductions in certain exposures. |
| | • | | For the third quarter, net premiums earned of $1.2 billion were down 4%, or up 1% on a constant foreign exchange basis. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums earned increased primarily in the Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segment and the Life segment due to new business. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the Catastrophe sub-segment as described for net premiums written above. For the first nine months of 2012, net premiums earned were down 4%, or 1% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to the impact of cancelled and non-renewed business in the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C and Catastrophe sub-segments. These decreases were partially offset by new business primarily in the Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segment and the Life segment. |
| | • | | For the third quarter, the Non-life combined ratio was 80.7% and included 18.2 points (or $189 million) of net favorable loss development on prior accident years. For the first nine months of 2012, the Non-life combined ratio was 85.1% and included 17.2 points (or $468 million) of net favorable loss development on prior accident years. All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, with the Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty and North America sub-segments contributing the most significantly. |
| | • | | For the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, net investment income of $135 million and $436 million, respectively, were down 15% and 7%, respectively, on a constant foreign exchange basis compared to the applicable prior year periods, primarily reflecting lower reinvestment rates. |
| | • | | For the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment gains were $257 million and $488 million, respectively, and primarily related to the tightening of credit spreads and increases in the market value of equities. |

| | • | | For the third quarter, the North America and Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segments reported an increase in net premiums written compared to the third quarter of 2011 on a constant foreign exchange basis.

| | • | | For the third quarter, the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 15%, or 6% on a constant foreign exchange basis, due to the impact of cancellations and reduced treaty participations in prior periods in the property line of business.

| | • | | For the third quarter, the Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 1%, or up 4% on a constant foreign exchange basis primarily due to new business in the marine line of business which was partially offset by non-renewals and increased retentions in the energy and aviation/space lines of business.

| | 2012, the Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were up 9%, or 12% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to new business in the marine, specialty property, and agriculture lines of business.

| | • | | For the third quarter, the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 23% primarily due to reductions in certain exposures and differences in the timing of renewals compared to the third quarter of 2011, which was partially offset by new business written in non-peak catastrophe zones. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 32.1%, which included 1.7 points (or $3 million) of net favorable prior year loss development. For the first nine months of 2012, the Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 21%, primarily due to the non-renewal of certain business at January 1 and April 1 and a reduction in reinstatement premiums, which were partially offset by new business.

Life:
| | • | | For the third quarter, the Life segment’s net premiums written were down 4%, or up 5% on a constant foreign exchange basis primarily due to new longevity business written in the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase in net premiums written, on a constant foreign exchange basis, was partially offset by decreases in mortality business. For the first nine months of 2012, the Life segment’s net premiums written were up 1%, or 6% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily due to the same factors describing the third quarter. |
| | • | | The Life allocated underwriting result, which includes allocated investment income and operating expenses, increased to $15 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $9 million in the same period of 2011.

The Life allocated underwriting result increased to $42 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared to $32 million in the same period of 2011.
