Acquisition of Validus
On November 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition (the
“Validus Acquisition”) of Validus Holdings, Ltd. (“Validus
Holdings”), Validus Specialty, LLC (“Validus Specialty”) and the
renewal rights, records and customer relationships of the assumed
treaty reinsurance business of Talbot Underwriting Limited from
subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc. Validus
Holdings, Validus Specialty, and their respective subsidiaries
collectively are referred to herein as “Validus.”
The first quarter of 2024 was the first full quarter that
reflected the results of Validus. As such, the results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2023, should be viewed in that
context. In addition, the results of operations for three months
ended March 31, 2024 may not be reflective of the ongoing business
of the combined entities.

See “Comments on Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
- Gross premiums written increased by $585.7 million, or
44.9%, driven by:
– a $412.5 million increase in catastrophe,
driven by the renewal of business acquired in the Validus
Acquisition, in conjunction with the retention of legacy lines, at
the January 1, 2024 renewal.
– a $173.1 million increase in other
property, reflecting the renewal of business acquired in the
Validus Acquisition and organic growth, in both catastrophe and
non-catastrophe exposed business.
- Net premiums written increased by $377.8 million, or
37.0%, driven by the increase in gross premiums written discussed
above, partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums written as
part of the Company’s gross-to-net strategy.
- Combined ratio improved by 13.7 percentage points, and
adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of
acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, improved by
15.8 percentage points, each primarily due to growth in net
premiums earned and the lower level of current accident year net
losses.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident
year improved by 12.6 percentage points due to a lower impact
from large loss events in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the
impact from the large loss events in the first quarter of
2023.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident
years reflects net favorable development in the first quarter
of 2024, primarily from weather-related large losses across the
2017 to 2022 accident years, driven by better than expected loss
emergence.
- Underwriting expense ratio decreased 2.9 percentage
points, primarily due to:
– a 1.6 percentage point decrease in the
operating expense ratio due, in part, to higher net premiums
earned.
– a 1.3 percentage point decrease in the
acquisition expense ratio, driven by changes in the mix of business
as a result of continued relative growth in catastrophe, which has
a lower acquisition expense ratio than other property, partially
offset by the increase in acquisition expenses from purchase
accounting adjustments related to the Validus Acquisition.

- Gross premiums written increased by $614.7 million, or
41.4%, primarily driven by the renewal of business acquired in the
Validus Acquisition, in conjunction with the retention of legacy
lines. In particular, the other specialty line of business grew by
$392.4 million as compared to the first quarter of 2023.
- Net premiums written increased 44.9%, consistent with
the drivers discussed for gross premiums written above.
- Combined ratio increased by 6.7 percentage points, and
adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of
acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by
4.5 percentage points, each primarily due to the increase in the
net claims and claim expense ratio.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident
year increased by 3.2 percentage points. The Baltimore Bridge
Collapse in the first quarter of 2024 added 4.2 points to the net
claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident
years reflects net favorable development driven by reported
losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net
claims and claim expenses from the other specialty and credit lines
of business, partially offset by the impact of purchase accounting
adjustments relating to the Validus Acquisition.
- Underwriting expense ratio increased 1.4 percentage
points, which consisted of:
– a 0.8 percentage point increase in the
operating expense ratio as compared to the first quarter of 2023,
due to a reduction in the benefit from override fees from a
decrease in retrocessional reinsurance coverage purchased; and
– a 0.6 percentage point increase in the
acquisition expense ratio primarily due to the impact of the
purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Validus
Acquisition.

- Management fee income increased $15.1 million,
reflecting growth in the Company’s joint ventures and managed
funds, specifically DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinci”), Fontana
Holdings L.P. (“Fontana”) and RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd.
(“Medici”), as well as the addition of fees earned by AlphaCat
Managers Ltd., which was acquired as part of the Validus
Acquisition.
- Performance fee income increased $23.6 million, driven
by improved underwriting results and prior year favorable
development, primarily in DaVinci.

- Net investment income increased $136.4 million, due to a
combination of higher average invested assets, primarily resulting
from the Validus Acquisition, and higher yielding assets in the
fixed maturity and short term portfolios.
- Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on
investments decreased by $493.1 million, principally driven
by:
– Net realized and unrealized losses on fixed
maturity investments trading of $202.2 million, primarily driven by
increases in interest rates in the current quarter, compared to net
realized and unrealized gains of $207.3 million in the first
quarter of 2023, due to decreases in interest rates during the
comparative period; and
– Net realized and unrealized losses on
investment-related derivatives of $57.8 million in the current
quarter, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $12.2
million in the first quarter of 2023. The current and comparative
quarter results were primarily driven by the interest rate trends
during the periods, as described above.
- Total investments were $29.6 billion at March 31, 2024
(December 31, 2023 - $29.2 billion). Weighted average yield to
maturity and duration on the Company’s investment portfolio
(excluding investments that have no final maturity, yield to
maturity or duration) was 5.8% and 2.6 years, respectively
(December 31, 2023 - 5.8% and 2.6 years, respectively).
Other Items of Note
- Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling
interests of $244.8 million was primarily driven by:
– strong underwriting results in DaVinci and
Vermeer; and
– strong net investment income driven by
higher interest rates and higher yielding assets within the
investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed
funds.
- Raised partner capital of $565.7 million in the first
quarter of 2024, primarily in DaVinci ($300.0 million), Medici
($145.7 million) and Fontana ($100.0 million).
- Returned partner capital of $701.2 million during the
first quarter of 2024, including $390.7 million of distributions
from DaVinci, Vermeer, Medici and Top Layer following strong
earnings across these vehicles in 2023.
- Corporate expenses increased by $26.4 million, primarily
driven by expenses incurred in support of the Validus
Acquisition.
- Income tax expense of $15.4 million in the current
quarter, compared to $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2023.
The decrease in income tax expense was primarily driven by
investment losses in the first quarter of 2024, compared to
investment gains in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by
an increase in operating income in the first quarter of 2024.
Net Negative Impact
Net negative impact on underwriting result includes the sum of
(1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) assumed and ceded
reinstatement premiums earned and (3) earned and lost profit
commissions. Net negative impact on net income (loss) available
(attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders is the sum of
(1) net negative impact on underwriting result and (2) redeemable
noncontrolling interest, both before consideration of any related
income tax benefit (expense).
The Company’s estimates of net negative impact are based on a
review of the Company’s potential exposures, preliminary
discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling
techniques. The Company’s actual net negative impact, both
individually and in the aggregate, may vary from these estimates,
perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in
the period in which they occur.
Meaningful uncertainty remains regarding the estimates and the
nature and extent of the losses from this catastrophe event, driven
by the magnitude and recent nature of the event, the relatively
limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of
business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties
relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in
loss estimation, among other things.

Comments on Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this
Press Release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial
measures within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has
provided certain of these financial measures in previous investor
communications and the Company’s management believes that such
measures are important to investors and other interested persons,
and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a
consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison
with other companies within or outside the industry. These measures
may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by companies within or outside of the insurance industry. Investors
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP
measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial
performance.
Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to
RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders and Operating Return on Average
Common Equity - Annualized
The Company uses “operating income (loss) available
(attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as a measure
to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and
believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance.
“Operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe
common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income (loss)
available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,”
which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, by the exclusion of (1) net realized and unrealized gains
and losses on investments, excluding other investments -
catastrophe bonds, (2) net foreign exchange gains and losses, (3)
corporate expenses associated with acquisitions and dispositions,
(4) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, (5) the
Bermuda net deferred tax asset, (6) the income tax expense or
benefit associated with these adjustments, and (7) the portion of
these adjustments attributable to the Company’s redeemable
noncontrolling interests. The Company also uses “operating income
(loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common
shareholders” to calculate “operating income (loss) available
(attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common
share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity -
annualized.”
The Company’s management believes that “operating income (loss)
available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,”
“operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe
common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating
return on average common equity - annualized” are useful to
management and investors because they provide for better
comparability and more accurately measure the Company’s results of
operations and remove variability.
The following table is a reconciliation of: (1) net income
(loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common
shareholders to “operating income (loss) available (attributable)
to RenaissanceRe common shareholders”; (2) net income (loss)
available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per
common share - diluted to “operating income (loss) available
(attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common
share - diluted”; and (3) return on average common equity -
annualized to “operating return on average common equity -
annualized.” Comparative information for the prior periods
presented have been updated to conform to the current methodology
and presentation.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share and Tangible Book Value
Per Common Share Plus Accumulated Dividends
The Company has included in this Press Release “tangible book
value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share
plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share”
is defined as book value per common share excluding per share
amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible
assets, (2) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments,
and (3) other goodwill and intangible assets. “Tangible book value
per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book
value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1)
acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2)
acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, and (3) other
goodwill and intangible assets, plus accumulated dividends.
The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per
common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus
accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide
a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder
returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets and
acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. The following
table is a reconciliation of book value per common share to
“tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per

(2)
At March 31, 2024, the adjustment for
other goodwill and intangible assets included $18.0 million (March
31, 2023 - $17.5 million) of goodwill and other intangibles
included in investments in other ventures, under equity method.
Previously reported “adjustment for goodwill and other intangibles”
has been bifurcated into “acquisition related goodwill and other
intangible assets” and “other goodwill and intangible assets.”
(3)
Represents the purchase accounting
adjustments related to the unamortized VOBA and acquisition costs,
and the fair value adjustments to reserves at March 31, 2024 for
the acquisitions of Validus $323.3 million (March 31, 2023 - $Nil),
TMR $59.6 million (March 31, 2023 - $70.6 million) and Platinum
$(0.8) million (March 31, 2023 - $(0.8) million).
Adjusted Combined Ratio
The Company has included in this Press Release “adjusted
combined ratio” for the company, its segments and certain classes
of business. “Adjusted combined ratio” is defined as the combined
ratio adjusted for the impact of acquisition related purchase
accounting, which includes the amortization of acquisition related
intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments related to the
amortization (accretion) of VOBA and acquisition costs, and the
fair value adjustments to the net reserve for claims and claim
expenses for the acquisitions of Validus, TMR and Platinum. The
combined ratio is calculated as the sum of (1) net claims and claim
expenses incurred, (2) acquisition expenses, and (3) operational
expenses; divided by net premiums earned. The acquisition related
purchase accounting adjustments impact net claims and claim
expenses incurred and acquisition expenses. The Company’s
management believes “adjusted combined ratio” is useful to
management and investors because it provides for better
comparability and more accurately measures the Company’s underlying
underwriting performance. The following table is a reconciliation
of combined ratio to “adjusted combined ratio.”
