RenaissanceRe Reports Record Operating Income of $247.0 Million for the Third Quarter of 2006 or $3.42 Per Common Share; Record Net Income of $251.1 Million or $3.48 Per Common Share.
Book Value Per Share Grows 12.3% in the Third Quarter of 2006.
Pembroke, Bermuda, October 30, 2006 — RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: RNR) today reported $247.0 million in third quarter operating income available to common shareholders compared to a $292.5 million operating loss attributable to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2005. Operating income excludes net realized investment gains of $4.2 million and $5.2 million in the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Operating income per common share was $3.42 in the third quarter of 2006, compared to an operating loss per common share of $4.14 in the third quarter of 2005. Net income available to common shareholders was $251.1 million or $3.48 per common share in the quarter, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $287.3 million or $4.07 per common share for the same quarter of 2005. The Company’s third quarter 2006 results benefited from light insured catastrophe loss activity compared to the third quarter of 2005 as well as a $31.4 million net positive impact resulting from the commutation of certain assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts in the quarter.
Neill A. Currie, CEO, commented: ‘‘We are very pleased to report another strong quarter with record results. Our core property cat business generated exceptional earnings, and our book value per share grew by over 12% this quarter. Our annualized compounded growth in book value per share plus accumulated dividends over the last ten years is 17%, reflecting our continued commitment to generate long-term growth in book value for our shareholders.’’
Mr. Currie added: ‘‘This year we met the demands of the market by providing capacity when it was most needed. We currently expect the demand for capacity to continue into 2007 and our priorities remain clear: maintaining a focused and disciplined approach to underwriting that enables us to achieve superior long-term results.’’

Gross premiums written include $91.5 million in gross premiums written for the Company’s Reinsurance segment in the third quarter of 2006, compared to $214.5 million for the same quarter of 2005.

The significant decrease in the combined ratio and loss ratio during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 was principally the result of light catastrophe loss activity experienced in the third quarter of 2006 compared with the large hurricanes in the third quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded favorable development on prior year reserves of $53.4 million or a decrease of 14.5 percentage points in the Company’s quarterly loss ratio.

activity experienced during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company’s Reinsurance segment experienced $57.9 million of favorable development on prior year reserves or a decrease of 24.4 percentage points to the Company’s Reinsurance segment quarterly loss ratio.

Included in the underwriting result in the third quarter of 2005 was a net reduction in prior year claims incurred of $153.5 million which reduced the Company’s third quarter 2005 Reinsurance segment loss ratio by 66.6 percentage points.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gains and Losses on Investments
Net investment income for the third quarter of 2006 was $80.4 million, compared to $61.1 million for the same quarter in 2005, principally reflecting a higher yield on the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity investments available for sale and short term investments, combined with an increased level of average invested assets.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded $4.2 million of net realized gains compared to $5.2 million of net realized gains in the third quarter of 2005.

3
Equity in Earnings of Other Ventures
Equity in earnings of other ventures generated $10.1 million in income in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $7.6 million in income in the third quarter of 2005. The increase was principally due to a $1.9 million, $0.4 million and $0.9 million increase in the equity in earnings from ChannelRe Holdings Ltd., Tower Hill Holdings Inc. and Starbound Holdings Ltd., respectively, offset by a $0.8 million decrease in the equity in earnings of Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd. (‘‘Top Layer Re’’), compared to the third quarter of 2005.
Other Items
Corporate expenses of $5.1 million were incurred during the third quarter of 2006 compared to $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in such expenses principally relates to the difference in costs incurred related to the Company’s internal review and the ongoing investigations into the Company and certain of its present and former executive officers by governmental authorities.
The Company’s cash flows from operations were $176.9 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $117.1 million for the third quarter of 2005.
Shareholders’ equity attributable to common shareholders was $2.3 billion at September 30, 2006, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2005. Book value per common share at September 30, 2006 was $31.86, compared to $24.52 per common share at December 31, 2005.
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including ‘‘operating income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders,’’ ‘‘operating income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders per common share – diluted,’’ ‘‘operating return on average common equity, annualized,’’ ‘‘managed catastrophe premiums’’ and ‘‘managed catastrophe premiums, net of fully-collateralized joint ventures.’’ A reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures in accordance with Regulation G is presented in the attached supplemental financial data.

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 in this Press Release within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has provided these financial measurements in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that these measurements 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 the 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 (loss)’’ 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)’’ as used herein differs from ‘‘net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders,’’ which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized gains and losses on investments. In addition, the Company's management believes that ‘‘operating income (loss)’’ 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 investment portfolio, which is not considered by management to be a relevant indicator of business operations. The Company also uses ‘‘operating income (loss)’’ to calculate ‘‘operating income (loss) per common share’’ and ‘‘operating return on average common equity, annualized.’’ The following is a reconciliation of: 1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders to operating income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders; 2) net income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders per common share to operating income (loss) available (attributable) to common shareholders per common share; and 3) return on average common equity, annualized to operating return on average common equity, annualized:

The Company has also included in this Press Release ‘‘managed catastrophe premiums’’ and ‘‘managed catastrophe premiums, net of fully-collateralized joint ventures.’’ ‘‘Managed catastrophe premiums’’ is defined as gross catastrophe premiums written by Renaissance Reinsurance and its
12
related joint ventures. ‘‘Managed catastrophe premiums’’ differ from total catastrophe premiums, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf of the Company’s joint venture Top Layer Re, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. ‘‘Managed catastrophe premiums, net of fully-collateralized joint ventures’’ differ from total catastrophe premiums, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to: 1) the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf of the Company’s joint venture Top Layer Re, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting; and 2) the deduction of catastrophe premiums that are written by the Company and ceded directly to the Company’s fully-collateralized joint ventures which include Starbound Re and Timicuan Reinsurance Ltd. The Company’s management believes ‘‘managed catastrophe premiums’’ is useful to investors and other interested parties because it provides a measure of total catastrophe reinsurance premiums assumed by the Company through its consolidated subsidiaries and related joint ventures. The Company believes ‘‘managed catastrophe premiums, net of fully-collateralized joint ventures’’ is also a useful measure to investors and other interested parties because it provides a measure of total catastrophe reinsurance premiums assumed by the Company through its consolidated subsidiaries and related joint ventures, net of catastrophe premiums written directly on behalf of the Company’s fully-collateralized joint ventures.
