As we look forward to 2020, these strong relationships combined with our differentiated strategy will provide us with many opportunities to continue delivering long-term value.”
Third Quarter of 2019 Summary
Net Negative Impact
Net negative impact includes the sum of estimates of net claims and claim expenses incurred, earned reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded, lost profit commissions and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company’s estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of its potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and catastrophe 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 regarding the estimates and the nature and extent of the losses from these events remains, driven by the magnitude and recent occurrence of each event, the geographic areas in which the events occurred, 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.
The financial data below provides additional information detailing the net negative impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of 2019 resulting from the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events.

Acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re
As previously announced, on March 22, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re AG (now known as RenaissanceRe Europe AG), Tokio Millennium Re (UK) Limited (now known as RenaissanceRe (UK) Limited) and their subsidiaries (collectively, the “TMR Group Entities”). The Company accounted for the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic Business Combinations. The operating activities of the TMR Group Entities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations from March 22, 2019, and comparisons of the Company’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018 should be viewed in that context. In addition, the results of operations for the third quarter of 2019 may not be reflective of the ultimate ongoing business of the combined entities.
Underwriting Results by Segment
Property Segment
Gross premiums written in the Property segment were $314.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $13.0 million, or 4.3%, compared to $301.4 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $102.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $109.6 million, or 51.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. In the third quarter of 2018, gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business included $102.3 million associated with certain large transactions that subsequently renewed and were reflected in gross premiums written in the first quarter of 2019. Gross premiums written in the third quarter of 2019 included $23.1 million of reinstatement premiums associated with the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events, as compared to $16.8 million of reinstatement premiums written in the third quarter of 2018 associated with the Q3 2018 Catastrophe Events. In addition, gross premiums written in the third quarter of 2019 included $26.4 million of negative premium adjustments related to the business of the third-party capital vehicles that the Company manages in connection with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities. These negative premium adjustments were fully ceded and are reflected in ceded premiums written, resulting in no impact to the Company’s results of operations.
Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $211.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $122.5 million, or 137.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in gross premiums written in the other property class of business was primarily driven by growth from existing relationships and new opportunities across a number of the Company’s underwriting platforms, as well as business acquired in connection with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities.
Ceded premiums written in the Property segment were $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $57.4 million, or 83.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in ceded premiums written in the third quarter of 2019 was principally due to the portion of gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business in the third quarter of 2018 that related to the large transactions discussed above being ceded to third-party investors in the Company’s managed vehicles. In addition, ceded premiums written in the third quarter of 2019 were impacted by $26.4 million of negative premium adjustments related to the business of the third-party capital vehicles that the Company manages in connection with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities, as discussed above.
The Property segment incurred an underwriting loss of $7.7 million and had a combined ratio of 101.7% in the third quarter of 2019, compared to an underwriting loss of $43.9 million and a combined ratio of 115.0% in the third quarter of 2018. The Property segment underwriting result and combined ratio in the third quarter of 2019 were principally impacted by the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $178.9 million and added 42.3 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio. In comparison, the third quarter of 2018 was impacted by the Q3 2018 Catastrophe Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $177.0 million and added 63.2 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio, partially offset by $52.9 million of underwriting income associated with the large reinsurance transactions noted above.
Casualty and Specialty Segment
Gross premiums written in the Casualty and Specialty segment were $546.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $222.4 million, or 68.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase was due to business acquired in connection with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities, as well as growth from new and existing business opportunities written in the current and prior periods across various classes of business within the segment.
The Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $4.5 million and had a combined ratio of 99.0% in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $14.9 million and 93.8%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018. The unfavorable movement in the Casualty and Specialty segment combined ratio was driven by an increase of 7.8 percentage points in the net claims and claim expense ratio, principally the result of higher current accident year losses in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. Partially offsetting the increase in the net claims and claim expense ratio was a 2.6 percentage point decrease in the underwriting expense ratio, primarily the result of a decrease in the operating expense ratio due to improved operating leverage from the business acquired in connection with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities.

Comments on Regulation G
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 these financial measures in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that these 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 the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies 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.
The Company uses “operating income available 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 available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders, transaction and integration expenses associated with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities and the income tax expense or benefit associated with these exclusions to “net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders". The Company’s management believes that “operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” is useful to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the Company’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from: fluctuations in the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio, equity investments trading and investments-related derivatives; certain transaction and integration expenses associated with the acquisition of the TMR Group Entities; and the associated income tax expense or benefit of these adjustments. The Company also uses “operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” to calculate “operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized”. The following is a reconciliation of: 1) net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders; 2) net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted to operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted; and 3) return on average common equity - annualized to operating return on average common equity - annualized:

Adjustment for net realized and unrealized (gains) losses on investments attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders represents: net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments as set forth in the Company's consolidated statement of operations less net realized and unrealized gains (losses) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which is included in net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Comparative information for all prior periods has been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.

Adjustment for income tax expense (benefit) represents the income tax expense (benefit) associated with the adjustments to net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders. The income tax impact is estimated by applying the statutory rates of applicable jurisdictions, after consideration of other relevant factors.
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 goodwill and intangible assets per share. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets per share, 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. The following 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:
