See “Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

  • Gross premiums written increased by $350.5 million, or 25.0%, driven by:

– a $262.8 million increase in catastrophe, driven by the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition, in conjunction with the retention of legacy lines, primarily at the June 1, 2024 renewal.

– a $87.7 million increase in other property, reflecting the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition and organic growth, in both catastrophe and non-catastrophe exposed business.

  • Net premiums written increased by $214.0 million, or 18.7%, driven by the increase in gross premiums written discussed above, partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums written as part of the Company’s gross-to-net strategy.
  • Combined ratio improved by 9.1 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, improved by 11.1 percentage points, each primarily due to growth in net premiums earned, a lower level of current accident year net losses, and higher prior year favorable development.
  • Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 4.8 percentage points, due to a lower impact from large loss events as compared to Q2 2023. The Q2 2024 Large Loss Events added 9.6 percentage points to the catastrophe class of business and 5.5 percentage points to the other property class of business.
  • Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects net favorable development in the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by better than expected loss emergence from large catastrophe events across the 2017 to 2023 accident years.
  • Underwriting expense ratio increased 0.2 percentage points, primarily due to:

– a 0.6 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 second quarter of 2024, partially offset by changes in the mix of business as a result of the continued relative growth in catastrophe, which has a lower acquisition expense ratio than other property; partially offset by

– a 0.4 percentage point decrease in the operating expense ratio primarily due to higher net premiums earned.

  • Gross premiums written increased by $423.4 million, or 33.9%, primarily driven by:

– the renewal of business acquired in the Validus Acquisition, principally in the general casualty and other specialty classes of business, which grew by $255.4 million and $247.8 million, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2023; and

– organic growth of legacy lines, particularly within other specialty class of business; partially offset by

– a decrease in the professional liability class of business of $94.2 million, driven by changes in premium estimates in the second quarter of 2024 for business underwritten in prior years.

  • Net premiums written increased 40.8%, consistent with the drivers discussed for gross premiums written above, in addition to an overall reduction in our retrocessional purchases.
  • Combined ratio increased by 5.0 percentage points, and adjusted combined ratio, which removes the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, increased by 2.7 percentage points, each primarily due to the increase in the net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year.
  • Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 4.6 percentage points, driven by higher losses in the quarter.
  • Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflects net favorable development driven by reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses from the other specialty and credit classes of business.
  • Underwriting expense ratio increased 1.8 percentage points, driven by a 1.7 percentage point increase in the acquisition expense ratio primarily due to the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Validus Acquisition.

Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be negative in a particular period if, for example, large losses occur, which can potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees.

  • Management fee income increased $11.9 million, reflecting growth in the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds, specifically DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinci”), and Fontana Holdings L.P. (“Fontana”), as well as the addition of fees earned by AlphaCat Managers Ltd., which was acquired as part of the Validus Acquisition.
  • Performance fee income increased $15.5 million, driven by improved underwriting results and prior year favorable development, primarily in DaVinci and certain structured reinsurance products.

  • Net investment income increased $118.2 million, due to a combination of higher average invested assets, primarily resulting from the Validus Acquisition, and higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity and short term portfolios.
  • Net realized and unrealized losses on investments decreased by $95.2 million, principally driven by:

– lower net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments trading of $123.3 million, primarily due to generally lower increases in interest rates in the current period as compared to the prior period;

– an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on investment-related derivatives of $75.4 million, primarily as a result of a lower impact from the interest rate movements noted above on interest rate futures, and lower losses on credit default swaps; partially offset by

– an increase in net realized and unrealized losses on catastrophe bonds of $72.3 million, reflective of changes in risk spreads in the wider catastrophe bond market.

  • Total investments were $30.5 billion at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $29.2 billion). The weighted average yield to maturity and duration on the Company’s investment portfolio (excluding investments that have no final maturity, yield to maturity or duration) was 6.0% and 2.8 years, respectively (December 31, 2023 - 5.8% and 2.6 years, respectively). 

Other Items of Note

  • Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $224.7 million was primarily driven by:

– strong underwriting results in DaVinci and Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd.; and

– strong 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.

  • Raised partner capital of $84.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily in Upsilon RFO Ltd.
  • Returned partner capital of $340.8 million during the second quarter of 2024, including $182.0 million from Medici Funds Ltd. following strong earnings over the last few quarters, resulting in investors rebalancing their position, and $75.0 million from Upsilon Diversified Fund, as a result of the release of collateral associated with prior years’ contracts.
  • Share Repurchases of 485.1 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $108.5 million and an average price of $223.73 per common share in the second quarter of 2024. Repurchased an additional 278.6 thousand of common shares at an aggregate cost of $61.2 million from July 1, 2024 through July 22, 2024.



  • Income tax benefit of $20.8 million in the current quarter, primarily driven by a $33.7 million deferred tax benefit resulting from the merger of RenaissanceRe Europe AG and Validus Reinsurance (Switzerland) Ltd completed in the quarter.

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 this catastrophe event, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of the event, the 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 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) corporate expenses associated with acquisitions and dispositions, (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.

(2)

At June 30, 2024, the adjustment for other goodwill and intangible assets included $17.9 million (June 30, 2023 - $18.3 million) of goodwill and other intangibles included in investments in other ventures, under equity method. 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 June 30, 2024 for the acquisitions of Validus $270.7 million (June 30, 2023 - $Nil), TMR $57.0 million (June 30, 2023 - $67.8 million) and Platinum $(0.7) million (June 30, 2023 - $(0.9) 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.”
