SECOND QUARTER 2013 HIGHLIGHTS (1)
-
Underwriting income of
$113.3 million and a combined ratio of 61.2%, compared to$127.9 million and 47.7%, respectively. The decrease in underwriting income was primarily driven by a$35.8 million increase in current accident year net claims and claim expenses principally due to the floods inEurope during late May and earlyJune 2013 (the "European Floods") and the tornadoes that impactedTexas and Oklahoma duringMay 2013 (the "May 2013 U.S. Tornadoes") and a decrease of$18.6 million in favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses, partially offset by a$47.5 million increase in net premiums earned due to a combination of higher gross premiums written during the preceding twelve months and a decrease in ceded premiums written principally within the Company's catastrophe unit. -
The net negative impact (2) from the European Floods and
May 2013 U.S. Tornadoes was$20.0 million and$18.8 million , respectively, for a total of$38.8 million from these events, as detailed in the table below. -
Gross premiums written increased
$35.9 million , or 5.4%, to$703.2 million with the increase being driven by growth in the Company's specialty unit andLloyd's segment, partially offset by a decrease in the Company's catastrophe unit. -
Total investment losses of
$43.5 million , which includes the sum of net investment income, net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments and net other-than-temporary impairments, compared to gains of$44.8 million . The decrease was primarily driven by lower total returns in the Company's fixed maturity investment portfolio as a result of a rising interest rate environment and widening credit spreads. -
Other income declined
$10.7 million to $0.6 million , compared to$11.3 million , primarily driven by a$4.1 million decrease in the profitability in the Company's weather and energy risk management operations and a$4.7 million reduction in the fair value of the Company's assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts accounted for at fair value.
European Floods and

Underwriting Results by Segment (1)
Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment were
-
a
$21.2 million , or 56.9% increase in the Company's specialty unit to$58.5 million , compared to$37.3 million , primarily due to a number of new contracts and higher renewal rates across certain lines of business within the specialty unit; and partially offset by -
a
$2.8 million decrease in the Company's catastrophe unit primarily reflecting reduced risk-adjusted pricing in theFlorida market as a whole and the non-renewal of a number of contracts during the June renewals, partially offset by net positive reinstatement premiums written of$9.8 million during the current quarter related to the European Floods andMay 2013 U.S. Tornadoes (compared to net negative reinstatement premiums written of$30.7 million in the comparative quarter related to the 2011 New Zealand and Tohoku Earthquakes), and$37.4 million of gross premiums written related to increased quota share premium in the second quarter of 2013.

Other Items (1)
-
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased 128
thousand common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate
cost of
$10.7 million and at an average share price of$83.32 . -
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of
$14.0 million decreased from$33.6 million , primarily impacted by a decrease in profitability of DaVinciRe and an increase in the Company's ownership percentage in DaVinciRe from 31.5% at June 30, 2012 to 32.9% at June 30, 2013. -
In
May 2013 , the Company raised$275.0 million through the issuance of 11.0 million 5.375% Series E Preference Shares at$25 per share. The proceeds of the issuance of the Series E Preference Shares were used to redeem the remaining 6.0 million, or$150.0 million liquidation preference, of the outstanding 6.60% Series D Preference Shares and 5.0 million, or$125.0 million liquidation preference, of the outstanding 6.08% Series C Preference Shares. Following the redemptions, 5.0 million Series C Preference Shares remain outstanding. -
Corporate expenses increased
$17.5 million , primarily due to costs associated with the Company's recently announced senior management changes. -
Prior to 2013, investments-related derivative net realized and
unrealized gains (losses) were included in net investment income and
were also included in the calculation of operating income available to
RenaissanceRe common shareholders and related measures. Commencing in 2013, the Company has reclassified its investments-related derivatives to net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments and has reclassified prior periods for comparability. EffectiveJanuary 1, 2013 , the Company now excludes these net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments-related derivatives from operating income and related measures. See Comments on Regulation G for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
As a result of this reclassification, included in net realized and unrealized losses on investments of$69.5 million , is$20.5 million of net realized and unrealized gains on investments-related derivatives, compared to$2.9 million net realized and unrealized losses on investments-related derivatives included in$28.1 million of net realized and unrealized gains on investments.

prospects. These statements may be considered “forward-looking.” These

(1) | All comparisons are with the second quarter of 2012 unless specifically stated. | |
(2) | Net negative impact includes the sum of estimates of net claims and claim expenses incurred, earned reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded, profit commissions and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company's estimates are based on a review of its potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and catastrophe modeling techniques. Given the magnitude and recent occurrence of these events, delays in receiving claims data, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other uncertainties inherent in loss estimation, meaningful uncertainty remains regarding losses from these events. Accordingly, the Company's actual net impact from these events will vary from these preliminary estimates, perhaps materially so. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur. | |

The Company has also included in this Press Release “managed catastrophe
premiums”. “Managed catastrophe premiums” is defined as gross
catastrophe premiums written by Renaissance Reinsurance and its related
joint ventures. “Managed catastrophe premiums” differs from total
catastrophe unit gross premiums written, 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 and the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf
of the Company's
The Company has also 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. “Tangible book value per common share” differs from book value per common share, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the exclusion of goodwill and intangible assets per share. 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:
