FOURTH QUARTER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS (1)
-
Underwriting income of
$127.1 million and a combined ratio of 36.2%, compared to$152.2 million and 19.8%, respectively, was negatively impacted by$59.5 million of underwriting losses from theThailand floods, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2011 and resulted in$45.1 million of net negative impact(2), and partially offset by net decreases in underwriting losses related to certain major losses occurring in prior periods of 2011, as detailed in “Supplemental Financial Data - Summary Impact of Large Losses”. Favorable development on prior years reserves was$34.6 million , compared to$72.7 million , as discussed in more detail below. -
Gross premiums written increased
$11.8 million , or 37.7%, to$43.0 million , primarily due to continued growth within the Company'sLloyd's segment. -
Total investment income of
$76.8 million , which includes the sum of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains on investments and net other-than-temporary impairments, compared to total investment losses of$18.8 million . The increase in total investment income was primarily due to higher total returns on the Company's fixed maturity investment portfolio, partially offset by weaker performance in the Company's hedge fund and private equity investment portfolio combined with a decrease in average invested assets. -
Other loss of
$43.6 million , compared to other income of$26.0 million , was primarily from trading losses within the Company's weather and energy risk management operations due to the unusually warm weather experienced in theUnited Kingdom and certain parts ofthe United States during the fourth quarter of 2011. This unit reported a pre-tax loss of$41.3 million (after-tax loss of$31.0 million ). -
Equity in losses of other ventures deteriorated
$12.3 million , to a loss of$22.7 million , primarily due to equity in losses of Top Layer Re of$22.6 million as a result of Top Layer Re experiencing net adverse development related to the Tohoku earthquake during the fourth quarter of 2011.

$5.2 million of impairments on goodwill and other intangible assets. The impairment losses are included in corporate expenses. -
The Company established a valuation allowance during the fourth
quarter of 2011 against its U.S. tax-paying subsidiaries' net deferred
tax asset which resulted in
$22.6 million of income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2011 within the Company's continuing operations and$3.8 million of income tax expense within discontinued operations. -
Loss from discontinued operations was
$3.3 million , compared to income from discontinued operations of$11.1 million . -
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased
approximately 234 thousand common shares in open market transactions
at an aggregate cost of
$16.8 million and at an average share price of$71.87 .
FULL YEAR 2011 HIGHLIGHTS (3)
-
Gross premiums written increased
$269.7 million , or 23.1%, to$1,435.0 million , due in part to$160.3 million of reinstatement premiums written, principally within the catastrophe unit, compared to$28.0 million ; improving market conditions experienced in the Company's catastrophe unit during the June andJuly 2011 renewals, compared to the June andJuly 2010 renewals; and an increase in premiums within the Company'sLloyd's segment. Excluding the impact of$160.3 million and$28.0 million of reinstatement premiums written in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which increased in 2011 due to the large catastrophe losses, gross premiums written increased$137.4 million , or 12.1% for the year. -
Underwriting loss of
$177.2 million and a combined ratio of 118.6%, compared to underwriting income of$474.6 million and 45.1%, respectively, was negatively impacted by underwriting losses of$725.2 million related to a number of large losses, namely the 2011 New Zealand and Tohoku earthquakes, the large U.S. tornadoes, the Australian floods, losses arising from aggregate contracts, hurricane Irene and theThailand floods (collectively referred to as the “Large 2011 Losses”), which added 85.4 percentage points to the Company's combined ratio in 2011. See “Supplemental Financial Data - Summary Impact of Large Losses” for additional information. Included in underwriting income for 2010 was$252.1 million of underwriting losses from the 2010New Zealand and Chilean earthquakes, which added 32.0 percentage points to the combined ratio. Favorable development on prior accident years was$132.0 million , compared to$302.1 million , as discussed in more detail below. -
Total investment income of
$180.1 million , which includes the sum of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains on investments and net other-than-temporary impairments, compared to$320.9 million . The decrease in investment income was primarily due to lower total returns on the Company's fixed maturity investment portfolio. In addition, the Company's investment income was negatively impacted by a decrease in net investment income of$36.9 million from the Company's hedge fund and private equity investments due to relatively weaker performance, and a decrease of$30.8 million from certain non-investment grade allocations included in other investments. -
Other income deteriorated
$41.8 million to a loss of$0.7 million , primarily as a result of a pre-tax loss of$45.0 million (after-tax loss of$34.3 million ) within the Company's weather and energy risk management operations due primarily to the unusually warm weather experienced in theUnited Kingdom and certain parts ofthe United States during the fourth quarter of 2011, and partially offset by the Company's ceded reinsurance contracts accounted for at fair value which generated$37.4 million in income in 2011, compared to$5.2 million in 2010, principally as a result of net recoverables from the Tohoku earthquake. -
Equity in losses of other ventures of
$36.5 million compared to a loss of$11.8 million , primarily due to equity in losses of Top Layer Re of$37.5 million as a result of Top Layer Re experiencing net claims and claim expenses related to the 2011 New Zealand and Tohoku earthquakes.

earnings release contain information about the Company's future business
prospects. These statements may be considered “forward-looking.”

(1) | All comparisons are with the fourth quarter of 2010 unless specifically stated. | |
(2) | Net (negative) positive impact includes the sum of estimates of net claims and claim expenses incurred, earned reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded, lost profit commissions, redeemable noncontrolling interest - DaVinci Re, equity in the net claims and claim expenses of Top Layer Re, and other income in respect of ceded reinsurance contracts accounted for at fair value. 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 “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends”. "Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets, plus accumulated dividends. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” 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 and the inclusion of accumulated dividends. The Company's management believes “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is useful to investors because it provides 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 plus accumulated dividends:

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, excluding catastrophe premiums assumed from the
Company's Insurance segment. “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, the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on
