PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported a net loss of $243.3
million, or $5.08 per share for the third quarter of 2015. This
includes the amalgamation termination fee and reimbursement of
expenses paid to Axis Capital of $315.0 million, or $6.58 per
share, and net after-tax realized and unrealized losses on

the third quarter of 2014 was $182.2 million, or $3.60 per share,
including net after-tax realized and unrealized losses on
investments of $35.4 million, or $0.70 per share. The Company
reported operating earnings of $211.6 million, or $4.42 per share,
for the third quarter of 2015. This compares to operating earnings
of $226.7 million, or $4.47 per share, for the third quarter of
2014.
The net loss for the first nine months of 2015 was $114.7
million, or $2.40 per share. This includes the amalgamation
termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital
of $315.0 million, or $6.60 per share, and net after-tax realized
and unrealized losses on investments of $238.7 million, or $5.00
per share. Net income for the first nine months of 2014 was $735.5
million, or $14.26 per share. This includes net after-tax realized
and unrealized gains on investments of $204.1 million, or $3.95 per
share. Operating earnings for the first nine months of 2015 were
$474.6 million, or $9.95 per share. This compares to operating
earnings of $537.1 million, or $10.42 per share, for the first nine
months of 2014.
Operating earnings or loss excludes certain net after-tax
realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, net after-tax
foreign exchange gains and losses, certain net after-tax interest
in results of equity method investments, the loss on redemption of
preferred shares, certain net after-tax withholding tax on
inter-company dividends (included in other expenses) and the
amalgamation termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to
Axis Capital (included in other expenses), and is calculated after
the payment of preferred dividends. All references to per share
amounts in the text of this press release are on a fully diluted
basis.
PartnerRe Interim Chief Executive Officer David Zwiener said,
“Our results this quarter reflect a number of factors, most notably
the amalgamation termination fee paid to Axis Capital, and
continued difficult financial and investment markets, both of which
had a negative impact on our book value. Despite the noise, and the
impact of the Chinese Tianjin loss in August, our underlying
results remain strong. All in, we posted a 1.4 point improvement in
our Non-life combined ratio to 82.8% when compared to the third
quarter of 2014. Our Life and Health portfolios also remain strong.
Overall for the third quarter, we recorded an operating ROE of 14%,
which on the back of our solid performance for the first half of
2015, resulted in an operating ROE of 10.5% for the year to
date.”
Commenting on market conditions, PartnerRe President Emmanuel
Clarke, said, “As we look ahead to the important January renewal
season, which accounts for more than 60% of our Non-life treaty
premium, reinsurance markets remain competitive across the board.
In addition, M&A activity is continuing to be a distraction for
some market participants. At PartnerRe, however, we continue to
distinguish ourselves with our clients as a stable and focused
partner with long-term financial flexibility, and a proven track
record of reliability.”
Highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015
compared to the same periods in 2014 include:
Results of operations:
- For the third quarter, net premiums
written of $1.2 billion were down 11%. On a constant foreign
exchange basis, net premiums written were down 5% primarily driven
by decreases reported in the Catastrophe and North America Non-life
sub-segments. For the first nine months of 2015, net premiums
written of $4.2 billion were down 7%. On a constant foreign
exchange basis, net premiums written were down 1% primarily due to
the Catastrophe and North America Non-Life sub-segments. These
decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Life and
Health segment.
- For the third quarter, net premiums
earned of $1.4 billion were down 9%. On a constant foreign exchange
basis, net premiums earned were down 3% primarily due to the
Catastrophe and North America Non-life sub-segments. For the first
nine months of 2015, net premiums earned of $4.0 billion were
down 5%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums earned
were up 2%, primarily due to the Life and Health segment, and, to a
lesser extent, the Global Specialty and Global (Non-U.S.) P&C
Non-life sub-segments. These increases were partially offset by
decreases in the Catastrophe Non-life sub-segment.
- For the third quarter, the Non-life
combined ratio was 82.8%. The combined ratio benefited from
favorable prior year development of 22.2 points (or $246 million)
and included 5.4 points (or $60 million) of large losses related to
the Tianjin explosion. All Non-life sub-segments experienced net
favorable development from prior accident years during the third
quarter of 2015. For the first nine months of 2015, the
Non-life combined ratio was 85.3%. The combined ratio benefited
from favorable prior year development of 21.0 points (or $644
million) and included 2.0 points (or $60 million) of large losses
related to the Tianjin explosion. All Non-life sub-segments
experienced net favorable development on prior accident years
during the first nine months of 2015.
- For the third quarter, other expenses
of $416 million include the termination fee and reimbursement of
expenses paid to Axis Capital of $315 million, or $6.58 per diluted
share. Additionally, other expenses include other Axis Capital and
Exor transaction related expenses of $7 million, pre-tax, or $0.15
per diluted share, pre-tax. For the first nine months of 2015,
other expenses of $670 million include the termination fee and
reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital of $315 million, or
$6.60 per diluted share. Additionally, other expenses include other
Axis Capital and Exor transaction related expenses of $47 million,
pre-tax, or $0.98 per diluted share, pre-tax, and costs related to
the negotiated earn-out consideration paid to the former
shareholders of Presidio Reinsurance Group, Inc. of $25 million, or
$0.53, per diluted share, pre-tax.
- For the third quarter, net investment
income of $117 million was down 1%. On a constant foreign exchange
basis, net investment income was up 3% reflecting additional income
from higher yielding securities. For the first nine months of 2015,
net investment income of $342 million was down 6%. On a constant
foreign exchange basis, net investment income was down 3% primarily
reflecting lower reinvestment rates.
- For the third quarter and first nine
months of 2015, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment
losses were $133 million and $273 million, respectively, primarily
reflecting widening U.S. and European credit spreads and decreases
in worldwide equity markets. The losses in net realized and
unrealized investment losses for the third quarter were partially
offset by decreases in longer-term U.S. and European risk-free
rates.
- For the third quarter, the effective
tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating losses was 12.9%
and 3.4%, respectively. For the first nine months of 2015, the
effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating losses
was 15.2% and 1.7%, respectively.
Balance sheet and capitalization:
- Total investments, cash and funds held
– directly managed were $16.3 billion at September 30, 2015,
down 5% compared to December 31, 2014. The decrease was
primarily due to cash flows out of the portfolio to fund the
termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital,
the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, and the widening of
U.S. and European credit spreads.
- Net Non-life loss and loss expense
reserves were $9.3 billion at September 30, 2015, down 2%
compared to December 31, 2014, primarily reflecting the
impacts of foreign exchange.
- Net policy benefits for life and
annuity contracts were $2.1 billion at September 30, 2015, up
3% compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to growth in
the business, which was partially offset by the impacts of foreign
exchange.
- Total capital was $7.6 billion at
September 30, 2015, down 3% compared to December 31,
2014, primarily due to the net loss for the first nine months of
2015 and common and preferred dividend payments.
- Total shareholders’ equity attributable
to PartnerRe was $6.8 billion at September 30, 2015, down 4%
compared to December 31, 2014, due to the same factors
described above for total capital.
- Book value per common share was $120.67
at September 30, 2015, down 4% compared to $126.21 at
December 31, 2014. Tangible book value per common share was
$109.46 at September 30, 2015, down 5% compared to $114.76 at
December 31, 2014. The decreases were primarily driven by the
net loss and common and preferred dividend payments.
Segment and sub-segment highlights for the third quarter and
first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014
include:
Non-life:
- For the third quarter, the Non-life
segment’s net premiums written were down 12%. On a constant foreign
exchange basis, net premiums written were down 7%. For the first
nine months of 2015, the Non-life segment’s net premiums written
were down 10%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums
written were down 4%. The decreases on a constant foreign exchange
basis for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 were
reported in all sub-segments, except for a modest increase in the
Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment.
- For the third quarter, the North
America sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 10%. On a
constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 9%
with the decrease driven by cancellations across multiple lines of
business, downward premium adjustments in the agriculture line and
higher premiums ceded in the credit/surety and agriculture lines of
business. This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 78.1%,
which included 25.1 points (or $102 million) of net favorable prior
year loss development. For the first nine months of 2015, the North
America sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 6%, primarily
due to the same factors describing the third quarter. This
sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 83.8%, which included
19.3 points (or $229 million) of net favorable prior year loss
development.
- For the third quarter, the Global
(Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 7%.
On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were up
5% primarily due to new business written across all lines of
business, which was partially offset by an increased participation
on an existing motor treaty recorded in the same period of 2014.
This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 92.7%, which
included 20.7 points (or $38 million) of net favorable prior year
loss development, and included 12.1 points (or $22 million) of
large losses related to the Tianjin explosion. For the first nine
months of 2015, the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment’s net
premiums written were down 8%. On a constant foreign exchange
basis, net premiums written were up 3% primarily due to new
business written across all lines of business, which was partially
offset by cancellations and downward premium adjustments in the
property and motor lines of business. This sub-segment reported a
technical ratio of 96.6%, which included 12.9 points (or $67
million) of net favorable prior year loss development, and included
4.3 points (or $22 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin
explosion.
- For the third quarter, the Global
Specialty sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 9%. On a
constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 2%
primarily due to downward premium adjustments in multiple lines of
business and the impact of cancellations in prior periods across
multiple lines of business. These decreases in net premiums written
were partially offset by new business written in prior periods
across multiple lines of business. This sub-segment reported a
technical ratio of 83.2%, which included 25.6 points (or $104
million) of net favorable prior year loss development, and included
4.6 points (or $19 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin
explosion. For the first nine months of 2015, the Global Specialty
sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 8%. On a constant
foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 1% primarily
due to cancellations, reduced participations and downward prior
year premium adjustments across multiple lines of business, which
were partially offset by new business written across multiple lines
of business in prior periods and lower premiums ceded under the
Company's retrocessional programs. This sub-segment reported a
technical ratio of 78.7%, which included 28.3 points (or $323
million) of net favorable prior year loss development, and included
1.6 points (or $19 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin
explosion.
- For the third quarter, the Catastrophe
sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 75%. On a constant
foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 65%
primarily due to higher premiums ceded under the Company's
retrocessional programs and, to a lesser extent, cancellations and
non-renewals. These decreases in net premiums written were
partially offset by new business. This sub-segment reported a
technical ratio of 33.6%, which included 1.3 points (or $2 million)
of net favorable prior year loss development, and included 14.5
points (or $16 million) of large losses related to the Tianjin
explosion. For the first nine months of 2015, the Catastrophe
sub-segment’s net premiums written were down 29%. On a constant
foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were down 23%
primarily due to the same factors describing the third quarter.
This sub-segment reported a technical ratio of 25.9%, which
included 11.7 points (or $25 million) of net favorable prior year
loss development, and included 7.6 points (or $16 million) of large
losses related to the Tianjin explosion.
Life and Health:
- For the third quarter, the Life and
Health segment’s net premiums written were down 8%. On a constant
foreign exchange basis, net premiums written were up 1% with the
increase primarily driven by PartnerRe Health’s accident and health
line of business, which was partially offset by decreases in the
longevity and mortality lines of business. For the first nine
months of 2015, the Life and Health segment’s net premiums written
were up 1%. On a constant foreign exchange basis, net premiums
written were up 9% primarily driven by PartnerRe Health’s accident
and health line of business, an increase in our participation on a
significant longevity treaty and new short-term business written in
the mortality line.
- For the third quarter, the Life and
Health segment’s allocated underwriting result, which includes
allocated investment income and other expenses, decreased to $18
million compared to $20 million in the same period of 2014. This
decrease was primarily due to adverse prior year loss development
related to the GMDB line of business partially offset by increased
favorable prior year loss development on PartnerRe Health's
accident and health line of business. For the first nine months of
2015, the Life and Health segment’s allocated underwriting result,
which includes allocated investment income and other expenses,
increased to $69 million compared to $52 million in the same period
of 2014 primarily due to an increase in net favorable prior year
loss development.
Corporate and Other:
- For the third quarter, investment
activities contributed losses of $34 million to the pre-tax net
loss, excluding investment income allocated to the Life and Health
segment. Of this amount, income of $100 million was included in
pre-tax operating earnings and a loss of $134 million related to
net realized and unrealized losses on investments and losses from
equity method investee companies was included in pre-tax
non-operating losses. For the first nine months of 2015, investment
activities contributed income of $29 million to the pre-tax net
loss, excluding investment income allocated to the Life and Health
segment. Of this amount, income of $298 million was included in
pre-tax operating earnings and losses of $269 million related to
net realized and unrealized losses on investments and earnings from
equity method investee companies was included in pre-tax
non-operating losses.

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, certain after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity
method investments, certain after-tax withholding taxes on
inter-company dividends (included in other expenses) and the
amalgamation termination fee and reimbursement of expenses paid to
Axis Capital (included in other expenses). 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, the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity
method 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),
certain after-tax withholding taxes on inter-company dividends
(included in other expenses) and the amalgamation termination fee
and reimbursement of expenses paid to Axis Capital (included in
other expenses).
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 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 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 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 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).
