SECOND QUARTER 2016 HIGHLIGHTS
-
Gross premiums written of
$759.1 million increased$97.1 million , or 14.7%, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015, with the Company’s Lloyd’s, Specialty Reinsurance and Catastrophe Reinsurance segments experiencing increases of$44.3 million , or 38.0%;$40.7 million , or 25.4%; and$12.1 million , or 3.1%, respectively. -
The Company generated underwriting income of
$63.6 million and a combined ratio of 81.9% in the second quarter of 2016, compared to$94.1 million and 75.2%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in the combined ratio in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015, was primarily driven by an increase in net claims and claim expenses and underwriting expenses, adding 3.1 and 3.6 percentage points, respectively, to the combined ratio. -
Included in net claims and claim expenses in the second quarter of
2016 was
$32.8 million of net claims and claim expenses associated with a number of weather-related events inTexas (the “2016Texas Events”) and$28.1 million associated with the wildfire originating nearFort McMurray, Alberta (the “Fort McMurray Wildfire”). The net negative impact of these events on the Company’s consolidated underwriting result was$50.4 million , and added 15.4 percentage points to the Company’s consolidated combined ratio. The net negative impact of these events on the Company’s net income available toRenaissanceRe common shareholders was$41.1 million . See below for additional information related to the 2016 Texas Events and the Fort McMurray Wildfire. -
The Company’s total investment result, which includes the sum of net
investment income and net realized and unrealized gains on
investments, was
$123.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to$11.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of$112.5 million . The total investment result during the second quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by net unrealized gains in the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity investments trading, principally the result of a decrease in U.S. treasury yields and a flattening of the yield curve during the quarter, an increase in net investment income in the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity investments, driven by an increase in average invested assets, and net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments trading as a result of the strong performance of a number of the Company’s equity positions during the quarter. Partially offsetting these items were net realized and unrealized losses on certain investments-related derivatives due to the flattening of the yield curve, noted above. -
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased an
aggregate of 1.7 million common shares in open market transactions at
an aggregate cost of
$187.1 million and at an average share price of$113.33 . Subsequent to June 30, 2016 and through the period ended July 25, 2016, the Company repurchased 286 thousand common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of$33.1 million and at an average share price of$115.66 .
Net Negative Impact of the 2016 Texas Events and the
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 has also included in this Press Release “managed catastrophe premiums”. “Managed catastrophe premiums” is defined as gross catastrophe premiums written by the Company and its related joint ventures. “Managed catastrophe premiums” differs from total Catastrophe Reinsurance segment 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 Lloyd’s segment. The Company’s management believes “managed catastrophe premiums” is useful to investors and other interested parties because it provides a measure of total catastrophe premiums assumed by the Company through its consolidated subsidiaries and related joint ventures. A reconciliation of “managed catastrophe premiums” to Catastrophe Reinsurance segment gross premiums written is included on page 10 of this Press Release.
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. 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:
