PartnerRe Ltd. Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
| • | First Quarter Operating Loss per share of $10.82; Net Loss per share of $11.99 |
| • | First Quarter Annualized Operating ROE of (46.1)%; Annualized Net Income /(Loss) ROE of (51.2)% |
| • | Book Value of $82.50 per share, compared to $93.77 at December 31, 2010 |
PEMBROKE, Bermuda, May 2, 2011 — PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE, Euronext: PRE) today reported a net loss of $807.0 million, or $11.99 per share on a fully diluted basis for the first quarter of 2011. This net loss includes net after-tax realized and unrealized losses on investments of $88.4 million, or $1.30 per share. Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $79.7 million, or $0.85 per share on a fully diluted basis, including net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $110.6 million, or $1.33 per share. The Company recorded an operating loss of $735.6 million, or $10.82 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2011. This compares to an operating loss of $50.4 million, or $0.60 per share, for the first quarter of 2010. Operating earnings or loss excludes net after-tax realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, net after-tax foreign exchange gains and losses, and net after-tax interest in results of equity investments, and is calculated after 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 first quarter of 2011, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Costas Miranthis said, “During the first quarter, we witnessed an exceptional frequency of catastrophic events in international markets. As PartnerRe underwrites a globally diversified portfolio, the losses in Japan, New Zealand and Australia together led to catastrophe losses significantly in excess of our quarterly expectations. Despite heavy losses in the current quarter, we continue to believe in the value of geographic diversification of our catastrophe portfolio as a means of optimizing our long-term risk–adjusted returns. The strength of our balance sheet has enabled us to absorb these losses and maintain a strong capital position.”
Mr. Miranthis added, “The frequency of recent events, as well as recent revisions in modeling tools, are leading many of our clients to reevaluate their view of risk. While the pricing reaction in loss affected areas is predictable, the broader reevaluation of catastrophe risk is beginning to change the pricing dynamics in all property catastrophe markets. While clearly we are at an early stage in this process, the initial indications we’ve received are encouraging. For longer tail lines, we do not have the same pricing momentum, but we have seen a bottoming out in rate levels and encouraging signs that opportunities will arise as economies begin their recovery.”

“With PartnerRe’s financial strength and stability and global franchise, we remain well-positioned to provide continued capital support to our clients and appropriate risk-adjusted returns to our shareholders,” Mr. Miranthis said.
Highlights for the first quarter of 2011 include:
Results of operations:
| • | Net premiums written were down 18% to $1.5 billion primarily related to the Company’s decision to cancel and non-renew business in order to reposition its portfolios following the integration of PARIS RE, and also reflects a continued competitive pricing environment in most lines. Foreign exchange decreased net premiums written by 2%. |
| • | Net premiums earned were down 8% to $1.1 billion primarily due to the reasons described above, however, the impact was lower due to the earning of premiums related to business written in 2010. |
| • | The Non-life combined ratio was 193.7% and included 115.8 points (or $1,018 million) related to catastrophe events during the quarter, including the Japan earthquake and resulting tsunami, the New Zealand earthquake, and the Australian cyclone and flood events (“the 2011 catastrophic events”) and included 16.1 points (or $142 million) of net favorable loss development on prior accident years. |
| • | Our total direct losses related to the 2011 catastrophic events are estimated to be $1,071 million pre-tax, net of reinstatements, reinsurance and commission adjustments, and include $1,018 million in our Non-life segment, $4 million in our Life segment and $49 million in our Corporate and Other segment related to insurance-linked securities. |
| • | Net investment income was down 12% to $152 million primarily due to lower reinvestment rates and the negative impact of foreign exchange of 2%. |
| • | Pre-tax net realized and unrealized losses were $112 million, including a loss of $98 million from standard, investment grade fixed maturities driven by changes in interest rates and credit spreads. The remaining portfolio contributed a loss of $14 million, inclusive of a $49 million loss related to insurance-linked securities impacted by the Japan earthquake. |
| • | The effective tax rate on the first quarter operating loss and non-operating loss were (1)% and 28%, respectively. |
| • | Operating loss and net loss for the first quarter of 2011 were $736 million and $807 million, respectively. Operating loss per share and net loss per share for the first quarter 2011 were $10.82 and $11.99, respectively. |
| • | The annualized operating ROE and net income/loss ROE were (46.1)% and (51.2)% for the first quarter 2011, respectively. |

Balance sheet and capitalization:
| • | Total investments, cash and funds held – directly managed at March 31, 2011 were flat with December 31, 2010 at $18.2 billion. Net Non-life loss and loss expense reserves were up 11% to $11.5 billion at March 31, 2011 when compared to December 31, 2010, primarily due to the impact of the 2011 catastrophic events. |
| • | Net policy benefits for life and annuity contracts were down 4% to $1.7 billion when compared to December 31, 2010. |
| • | Total capital was $7.0 billion at March 31, 2011, down 13% from $8.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the comprehensive loss of $769 million for the first quarter of 2011, which was driven by the net loss of $807 million and was partially offset by an increase of $38 million in the currency translation account, and also reflects share repurchases and dividends paid during the quarter. |
| • | During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 2.8 million common shares at a total cost of approximately $227 million. Approximately 3.7 million common shares now remain under the current repurchase authorization. |
| • | Total shareholders’ equity was $6.2 billion at March 31, 2011, compared to $7.2 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by the factors described above under total capital. |
| • | Book value per common share at March 31, 2011 was $82.50 on a fully diluted basis compared to $93.77 per diluted share at December 31, 2010. |
Segment and sub-segment highlights for the first quarter of 2011 include:
Non-life:
| • | All Non-life sub-segments reported a reduction in net premiums written compared to the first quarter of 2010 primarily related to the Company’s decision to cancel and non-renew business in order to reposition portfolios following the integration of PARIS RE, and also reflects a continued competitive pricing environment in most lines. |
| • | The North America sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 5% primarily due to lower property and motor premiums. This sub-segment delivered an unchanged technical ratio of 92.6%, which included $40 million, or 15.3 points on the technical ratio, of net favorable prior year loss development and $13 million, or 5.0 points on the technical ratio, of losses related to the 2011 catastrophic events. |
| • | The Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 27%, with all lines contributing to the decrease. This sub-segment was less affected by catastrophe losses this quarter compared to the same period last year and reported a |

| technical ratio of 104.9%, with approximately $46 million, or 25.6 points on the technical ratio, attributable to the 2011 catastrophic events. This sub-segment included $32 million, or 18.0 points on the technical ratio, of net favorable prior year loss development. |
| • | The Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 31%, with most lines contributing to the decrease. This sub-segment’s technical ratio of 95.0% included $32 million, or 10.2 points on the technical ratio, of losses related to the 2011 catastrophic events and $35 million, or 10.9 points on the technical ratio, of net favorable prior year loss development. |
| • | The Catastrophe sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 19% as the Company reduced certain catastrophe exposures. This sub-segment reported a technical loss this quarter, which included $927 million, or 753.6 points on the technical ratio, of losses related to the 2011 catastrophic events and $35 million, or 28.4 points on the technical ratio, of net favorable prior year loss development. |
Life:
| • | The Life segment’s net premiums written increased by 13% due to growth in longevity and mortality business compared to the same period in 2010. This segment’s technical result was $9 million and reflected net favorable loss development of $4 million. |
| • | The Life allocated underwriting result, which includes the technical result, allocated investment income and operating expenses, was $12 million for the first quarter of 2011 and was flat when compared to the same period in 2010. |
Corporate and Other:
| • | Investment and capital markets activities contributed $22 million to pre-tax net income, excluding Life investment income. Of this amount, $133 million was included in pre-tax operating loss and an additional $(111) million in net realized and unrealized losses on investments and earnings from equity investee companies in pre-tax net loss. |
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company changed its definition of operating earnings to exclude after-tax net foreign exchange gains and losses. In addition, effective January 1, 2011, the Company changed its definition of annualized operating ROE to divide operating earnings per diluted share by beginning book value per diluted share. The Company has recast all prior periods to reflect these definition changes in its first quarter 2011 financial supplement.

Investors and analysts are encouraged to call in 15 minutes prior to the commencement of the call.

Net income/loss per share is defined as net income/loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Net income/loss available to common shareholders is defined as net income/loss less preferred dividends. Operating earnings/loss is defined as net income/loss available to common shareholders excluding after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses and after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments. Operating earnings/loss per share is defined as operating earnings/loss divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period.
The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on beginning diluted book value per common and common share equivalents outstanding to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the impact of after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses, and the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments, 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 CENts, to manage the capital structure of the Company.
