FOURTH QUARTER 2018 SUMMARY
- During the fourth quarter of 2018, Hurricane Michael, the wildfires in
California during the fourth quarter of 2018 (the “Q4 2018 California Wildfires”) and changes in certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (the “2018 Aggregate Losses”) resulted in a net negative impact on the net loss attributable toRenaissanceRe common shareholders of$104.1 million . Also impacting results in the fourth quarter of 2018 was the net positive impact of changes in the Company’s estimates of the net negative impact of the Q3 2018 Catastrophe Events (as defined herein) and the 2017 Large Loss Events (as defined herein) of$49.3 million and$19.4 million , respectively. - Underwriting loss of
$82.3 million and a combined ratio of 114.3% in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to an underwriting loss of$10.4 million and a combined ratio of 102.5% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Impacting the Company’s underwriting results in the fourth quarter of 2018 were Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires and changes in the 2018 Aggregate Losses, which had a net negative impact on the underwriting result of$205.7 million within the Company’s property segment and added 38.3 percentage points to the Company’s combined ratio. In addition, as a result of the Q4 2018 California Wildfires, the Company’s underwriting result was negatively impacted by certain casualty liability exposures within the Casualty and Specialty segment. - Gross premiums written increased by
$140.0 million , or 34.3%, to$547.8 million , in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, driven by an increase of$104.8 million in the Property segment and an increase of$35.2 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment. Included in gross premiums written in the fourth quarter of 2018 was$102.5 million of reinstatement premiums written primarily associated with Hurricane Michael and the Q4 2018 California Wildfires. Included in the gross premiums written in the fourth quarter of 2017 was$10.4 million of reinstatement premiums written primarily associated with the wildfires inCalifornia during the fourth quarter of 2017. - Total investment result was a loss of
$35.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, generating an annualized total investment return of negative 1.2%.
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, will 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 associated with Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires, the 2018 Aggregate Losses, the Q3 2018 Catastrophe Events (as defined herein) and the 2017 Large Loss Events (as defined herein) driven by the magnitude and recent occurrence of each 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.
The financial data below provides additional information detailing the net negative impact of Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires and changes in the 2018 Aggregate Losses, and the net positive impact of changes in estimates of the net negative impact of the Q3 2018 Catastrophe Events (as defined herein) and changes in estimates of the 2017 Large Loss Events (as defined herein) on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Other Items
- The Company’s total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, was a loss of
$35.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a gain of$65.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, a decrease of$101.1 million . The decrease in the total investment result was principally due to an increase in the net realized and unrealized losses on investments of$80.9 million , primarily driven by unrealized losses and lower realized gains on the Company’s equity investments trading portfolio, partially offset by unrealized gains on the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity investments trading. In addition, net investment income decreased by$20.1 million , primarily driven by losses on the Company’s portfolio of private equity and catastrophe bond investments, partially offset by higher returns on the Company’s fixed maturity and short term investment portfolios. - Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the fourth quarter of 2018 was
$49.3 million , compared to net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of$0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The result for the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by more significant losses in DaVinciRe associated with Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires and changes in the 2018 Aggregate Losses as compared to the Q4 2017 California Wildfires during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company’s ownership in DaVinciRe was 22.1% at bothDecember 31, 2018 andDecember 31, 2017 . The Company expects its noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinciRe to fluctuate over time. - The Company recognized an income tax benefit of
$8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to an income tax expense of$41.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the income tax benefit was principally driven by underwriting losses in the U.S. associated with Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires and changes in the 2018 Aggregate Losses, and unrealized losses on investments in the Company’s U.S. investment portfolio. In comparison, income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017, was principally driven by a write-down of a portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset of$36.7 million as a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was enacted onDecember 22, 2017 and effective onJanuary 1, 2018 .
FULL YEAR 2018 SUMMARY
- Gross premiums written increased by
$512.9 million , or 18.3%, to$3.3 billion , in 2018, compared to 2017, driven primarily by increases of$320.5 million in the Property segment and$192.4 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment. Included in gross premiums written in 2018 was$94.5 million of reinstatement premiums written associated with the 2018 Large Loss Events and changes in the estimates of the 2017 Large Loss Events, and$102.3 million of gross premiums written associated with a large, non-recurring reinsurance transaction, each principally within the Property segment.

$244.9 million and a combined ratio of 87.6% in 2018, compared to an underwriting loss of$651.5 million and a combined ratio of 137.9%, in 2017. Underwriting income was comprised of$262.1 million of underwriting income in the Property segment, partially offset by a$17.0 million underwriting loss in the Casualty and Specialty segment. Impacting the underwriting result for 2018 was the 2018 Large Loss Events, which had a net negative impact on the Company’s underwriting result of$340.2 million and added 18.6 percentage points to the combined ratio, partially offset by changes in the estimates of the 2017 Large Loss Events, which had a positive impact on the underwriting result of$157.8 million and reduced the combined ratio by 8.0 percentage points. In addition, as a result of the Q4 2018 California Wildfires, the Company’s underwriting result was negatively impacted by certain casualty liability exposures within the Casualty and Specialty segment. - Net income available to
RenaissanceRe common shareholders of$197.3 million in 2018 included total net negative impact on the Company’s net income available toRenaissanceRe common shareholders of$86.4 million from the 2018 Large Loss Events and changes in estimates of the net negative impact of the 2017 Large Loss Events. - Total investment result was a gain of
$86.8 million in 2018, generating an annualized total investment return of 0.8%.
