Our business continues to perform well, and we are in an excellent capital and liquidity position. We believe that these strong returns will persist, providing us with opportunities to grow while continuing to return capital to our shareholders through share repurchases. These actions position us to deliver consistent, superior returns for our shareholders through the course of 2025 and into the future.
RenaissanceRe’s purpose is to protect communities and enable prosperity.

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 results of operations and financial condition include Validus since November 1, 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, should be viewed in that context. In addition, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 may not be reflective of the ongoing business of the combined entities.

– a $183.2 million increase in the catastrophe class of business, driven by an increase of $74.3 million in reinstatement premiums as well as a combination of organic growth, new opportunities, and the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition, in conjunction with the retention of legacy lines, primarily at the July 1, 2024 renewal.
– a $96.5 million increase in the other property class of business, reflecting the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition and organic growth, in both catastrophe and non-catastrophe exposed business.
– net favorable development of $184.4 million from large catastrophe events across the 2017 to 2022 accident years, including $108.1 million from the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses; and
– net favorable development on attritional losses across the other property class of business.
– a 0.4 percentage point increase in the acquisition expense ratio, driven by the increase in acquisition expenses from purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to the Validus Acquisition, which added 1.8 percentage points to the acquisition expense ratio in the third quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by changes in the mix of business as a result of the continued relative growth in the catastrophe class of business, which has a lower acquisition expense ratio than the other property class of business; and
– a 0.6 percentage point increase in the operating expense ratio primarily due to an increase in operating expenses following the Validus Acquisition.
Underwriting Results - Casualty and Specialty Segment: Combined ratio of 100.1% and adjusted combined ratio of 97.7%, with current accident year loss ratio of 65.8%

– higher net realized and unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments trading of $891.7 million, primarily due to decreases in interest rates in Q3 2024, as compared to interest rate increases in Q3 2023;
– an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on other investments of $162.5 million driven by an increase in the value of the Company’s investment in TWFG as a result of TWFG, Inc.’s initial public offering in the third quarter of 2024;
– an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on investment-related derivatives of $66.9 million, primarily as a result of the impact of the interest rate movements noted above on interest rate futures and commodity price movements favorably impacting commodity futures; and
– an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on catastrophe bonds of $33.8 million, reflective of changes in risk spreads in the wider catastrophe bond market.
Other Items of Note
– underwriting results in DaVinci and Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd.;
– net investment income driven by higher average invested assets and higher yielding assets within the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; and
– net realized and unrealized gains on investments of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds.
– On November 6, 2024, the Board approved an increase in the Company’s authorized share repurchase program, bringing the total current authorization up to $750 million.
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 these catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of the events, the geographic areas impacted by the events, 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, Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders per Common Share – Diluted 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) expenses or revenues associated with acquisitions, dispositions and impairments, (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 common share plus accumulated dividends.” Comparative information for the prior periods presented have been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.

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 September 30, 2024 for the acquisitions of Validus $220.1 million (September 30, 2023 - $Nil), TMR $54.4 million (September 30, 2023 - $64.9 million) and Platinum $(0.7) million (September 30, 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.”
