Third Point Re Announces Third Quarter 2020 Earnings Results

Net income of $68.7 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2020
Return on beginning shareholders’ equity of 5.1% for the third quarter of 2020

HAMILTON, Bermuda, November 5, 2020, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (“Third Point Re” or the “Company”) (NYSE:TPRE) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Earnings Summary
Third Point Re reported net income available to common shareholders of $68.7 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $15.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Third Point Re reported net income available to common shareholders of $9.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $170.9 million, or $1.84 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
“We produced solid third quarter results with a return on equity for the quarter of 5.1% driven by strong investment performance. Our diluted book value per share at the end of the quarter was $15.06. The combined ratio for the third quarter was 119.9%, of which $29.6 million was attributable to catastrophe losses and $15.6 million was attributable to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, for a total impact of 31.9% on the combined ratio,” commented Dan Malloy, Chief Executive Officer. “The impact on our results from catastrophe losses and ongoing impacts of COVID-19 were within expectations given the large number of events during the quarter. We continue to see improvements in market conditions across many lines of business. In particular, our recently announced partnership to form a new MGA, Arcadian Risk Capital, will allow us to take advantage of opportunities in excess casualty and professional lines insurance. Our previously announced merger with the Sirius Group remains on track to close in the first quarter of 2021. Our capital position remains strong and SiriusPoint will be well-positioned to take advantage of improving underwriting conditions.”

Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written
Gross premiums written decreased by $34.6 million, or 36.3%, to $60.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $95.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in gross premiums written was primarily due to one retroactive reinsurance contract of $58.7 million recognized in the prior year quarter with no comparable premium in the current period. This decrease was partially offset by new contracts bound in the current year period and other timing differences.
Gross premiums written decreased by $75.1 million, or 15.1%, to $422.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $497.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in gross premiums written was primarily due to certain contracts that we did not renew, including certain contracts which no longer fit our underwriting criteria as a result of our shift in underwriting strategy. In addition, the prior year period included $58.7 million related to one retroactive reinsurance contract that did not have a comparable premium in the current year period. These decreases were partially offset by new contracts bound in the current year period and other timing differences.
Net underwriting results
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred net catastrophe losses of $29.6 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, related to Hurricane Laura and other third quarter catastrophes. This resulted in an increase in the combined ratio of 20.9 and 6.9 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred net catastrophe losses of $12.7 million, net of reinstatement premiums and profit commission adjustments, related to Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Faxai. This resulted in an increase in the combined ratio of 6.2 and 2.5 percentage points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
The COVID-19 outbreak is causing unprecedented social disruption, global economic volatility, reduced liquidity of capital markets and intervention by various governments around the world. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized net losses of $15.6 million and $35.0 million, respectively, net of additional premiums, or 11.0 and 8.2 percentage points, respectively, on the combined ratio, relating to COVID-19. These losses were driven primarily by event cancellation, property business interruption, and certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.
The economic impact of the ongoing pandemic will continue to create uncertainty around the ultimate scope of claims and potential for additional insurance losses. Our estimate is based on currently available information derived from information provided by cedents. These estimates include losses only related to our estimate of claims incurred as of September 30, 2020.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded improvement in the net underwriting results of $0.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to net favorable development of prior years’ loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a net $3.8 million and $4.3 million improvement in the net underwriting results, respectively, related to net favorable development of prior years’ loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs.

Non-U.S. dollar reinsurance assets, or balances held in trust accounts securing reinsurance liabilities generally offset reinsurance liabilities in the same non-U.S. dollar currencies resulting in minimal net exposure. As a result, the foreign exchange gains (losses) from the revaluation of foreign currency reinsurance collateral held in trust accounts are offset by corresponding foreign exchange gains (losses) from the revaluation of foreign currency loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the investment portfolio generated positive results across each strategy with long equity investments driving the majority of gains for the quarter. Within equities, most sectors contributed to positive results on the long side while short equity investments and hedges partially offset overall gains for the equity strategy. The credit strategy contributed gains from both the corporate credit and structured credit portfolios. Investments in residential mortgage backed securities also produced profits. In the other strategy, gains were driven by private investments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, gains were driven primarily by the credit portfolio. Investments in investment grade corporate credit and residential mortgage backed securities contributed strong performance. The equities strategy





detracted from overall positive performance for the portfolio as losses from investments in industrials and consumer discretionary offset gains from technology investments. The other strategy contributed modestly to net gains for the year to date due to private investments.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS & KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Non-GAAP Measures
Basic Book Value per Share and Diluted Book Value per Share
Basic book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures and there are no comparable GAAP measures. Basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end. Diluted book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, we assume that proceeds received from in-the-money options and/or warrants exercised are used to repurchase common shares in the market. For unvested restricted shares with a performance condition, we include the unvested restricted shares for which we consider vesting to be probable. Change in basic book value per share is calculated by taking the difference in basic book value per share for the periods presented divided by the beginning of period book value per share. Change in diluted book value per share is calculated by taking the difference in diluted book value per share for the periods presented divided by the beginning of period diluted book value per share. We believe that long-term growth in diluted book value per share is the most important measure of our financial performance because it allows our management and investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, we believe this metric is used by investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in our industry that also report a similar measure.

Return on Beginning Shareholders’ Equity Attributable to Third Point Re Common Shareholders
Return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to Third Point Re common shareholders by the beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders. We believe that return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders is an important measure because it assists our management and investors in evaluating the Company’s profitability. When we repurchase our common shares, we also adjust the beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders for the impact of the shares repurchased on a weighted average basis. For a period where there was a loss, this adjustment decreased the stated returns on beginning shareholders’ equity and for a period where there was a gain, this adjustment increased the stated returns on beginning shareholders’ equity.
