Net income for the full year 2012 was $1,134.5 million, or $16.87 per share, including net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $392.0 million, or $6.17 per share.

Commenting on results, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Costas Miranthis said, “We had a strong fourth quarter to finish 2013. We generated an 11.5% operating ROE for the quarter, and close to 19% net income ROE, reflecting a gain in one of our insurance investments. For the year, despite significant mark to market losses on our fixed income portfolio resulting from higher risk free rates, we increased our tangible book value per share by 8.4% while maintaining an attractive dividend yield.”

“Last week, we announced the results of our Non-life treaty renewal,” Mr. Miranthis added. “Despite challenging market conditions, the strength of our global franchise allowed us to modestly grow our portfolio while we maintained our usual underwriting discipline. We also had good production in our Life & Health operations which continue to grow profitably. I am confident that the strength of our client relationships and our technical skills in evaluating a broad range of risk will continue to differentiate us in the years to come.”
Highlights for the fourth quarter and full year 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 include:
Results of operations:
| • | For the fourth quarter, net premiums written of $1.2 billion were up 29%. The increase was reported across all Non-life sub-segments, except the Catastrophe sub-segment, and the Life and Health segment. The increase was primarily related to new business in the Global Specialty and North America sub-segments, the inclusion of PartnerRe Health’s (previously referred to as Presidio) business in the Life and Health segment and new business in the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment. For the full year 2013, net premiums written of $5.4 billion were up 18%. The increase was reported across all Non-life sub-segments, except for the Catastrophe sub-segment, and the Life and Health segment primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the fourth quarter. |
| • | For the fourth quarter, net premiums earned of $1.4 billion were up 22%. The increase was primarily driven by the same factors discussed above for net premiums written for the fourth quarter. For the full year 2013, net premiums earned of $5.2 billion were up 16%, primarily due to the same factors discussed above for net premiums written for the full year. |
| • | For the fourth quarter, the Non-life combined ratio was 88.0%. The combined ratio includes 3.5 points (or $41 million, net of premium and commission adjustments) of gross charges related to the 2013 underwriting year U.S. agricultural portfolio, which largely reflects reversing profits recognized in prior quarters. The combined ratio also benefited from favorable prior year development of 14.9 points (or $173 million). All Non-life sub-segments, except the Catastrophe sub-segment, experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full year 2013, the Non-life combined ratio was 85.3%. The combined ratio included 3.4 points (or $142 million, net of premium, retrocession and commission adjustments) of losses related to the German hailstorms, the Alberta floods and the European floods (the “2013 Catastrophe Events”) and benefited from favorable prior year development of 17.0 points (or $721 million). All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the full year 2013. |

|
| • | For the fourth quarter and the full year 2013, other operating expenses included a pre-tax charge of $12 million and $58 million, respectively, related to the restructuring of the Company’s business support and Global Non-life operations, which was announced in April 2013. After-tax, these charges decreased the fourth quarter and the full year annualized operating ROE by 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively. Additionally, operating expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2013 reflect higher bonus accruals as a result of favorable 2013 financial performance. |
| • | For the fourth quarter and the full year 2013, net investment income of $114 million and $484 million, respectively, was down 16%, on a constant foreign exchange basis. The decrease in net investment income primarily reflects lower reinvestment rates. |
| • | For the fourth quarter, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment gains were $99 million primarily reflecting an unrealized gain on an investment in an insurance company that completed an initial public offering in the fourth quarter, improvements in worldwide equity markets and narrower credit spreads, which were partially offset by increases in risk-free interest rates. For the full year 2013, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment losses were $161 million primarily reflecting increases in risk-free rates, which was partially offset by improvements in equity markets, narrower credit spreads and the unrealized gain described in the fourth quarter result. |
| • | For the fourth quarter, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating earnings was 6% and (1%), respectively. For the full year 2013, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating earnings was 11% and 27%, respectively. |
Balance sheet and capitalization:
| • | Total investments, cash and funds held – directly managed were $17.4 billion at December 31, 2013, down 3% compared to December 31, 2012. |
| • | Net Non-life loss and loss expense reserves were $10.4 billion at December 31, 2013, comparable to December 31, 2012. |
| • | Net policy benefits for life and annuity contracts were $2.0 billion at December 31, 2013, up 10% compared to December 31, 2012. |
| • | Total capital was $7.5 billion at December 31, 2013, down 3% compared to December 31, 2012 primarily driven by share repurchases and common and preferred dividend payments, which were partially offset by net income for the full year 2013. |
| • | The Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million common shares at a total cost of approximately $101 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. The average repurchase price of $99.41 per share represents a 5.8% discount to September 30, 2013 diluted book value per share. Since January 1, 2014, the Company has repurchased 615 thousand common shares at a total cost of approximately $61 million. At January 31, 2014, approximately 4.3 million common shares remained under the current repurchase authorization. |

Net income/loss per share is defined as net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe common shareholders is defined as net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe less preferred dividends and loss on redemption of preferred shares. Operating earnings/loss is defined as net income/loss available to PartnerRe common shareholders excluding certain after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses, the loss on redemption of preferred shares and certain 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 (except where the Company has made a strategic investment in an insurance or reinsurance related investee), after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses, and the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments (except where the Company has made a strategic investment in an insurance or reinsurance related investee and where the Company does not control the investees 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 allocated underwriting result as a measure of underwriting performance for its Life and Health operations. This metric is defined as net premiums earned, other income or loss and allocated net investment income less life policy benefits, acquisition costs and other operating expenses. The Company uses total capital, which is defined as total shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe, long-term debt, senior notes and CENts, to manage the capital structure of the Company. The Company calculates Tangible Book Value using common shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax. The Company calculates Diluted Tangible Book Value per Common Share using Tangible Book Value divided by the weighted average number of PartnerRe common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. The Company uses these measures as the basis for its prime measure of long-term financial performance (annualized growth in Diluted Tangible Book Value per Common Share plus dividends).
