NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. In particular, statements using words such as “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. For example, we may include certain forward-looking statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with regard to trends in results, prices, volumes, operations, investment results, margins, combined ratios, fees, reserves, market conditions, risk management and exchange rates. This Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements with respect to our business and industry, such as those relating to our strategy and management objectives, market standing and product volumes, competition and new entrants in our industry, industry capital, insured losses from loss events, government initiatives and regulatory matters affecting the reinsurance and insurance industries.

The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be considered as a representation by us or any other person that our current objectives or plans will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those addressed by the forward-looking statements, including the following:

•our exposure to natural and non-natural catastrophic events and circumstances and the variance they may cause in our financial results;

•the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe climate events;

•the effectiveness of our claims and claim expense reserving process;

•the effect of emerging claims and coverage issues;

•the highly competitive nature of our industry, resulting in consolidation of competitors, customers and (re)insurance brokers, and our reliance on a small and decreasing number of brokers;

•the historically cyclical nature of the (re)insurance industries;

•collection on claimed retrocessional coverage, and new retrocessional reinsurance being available on acceptable terms;

•the ability of our ceding companies and delegated authority counterparties to accurately assess the risks they underwrite;

•our ability to maintain our financial strength ratings;

•the impact of large non-recurring contracts and reinstatement premiums on our financial results;

•our ability to attract and retain key executives and employees;

•the effect of cybersecurity risks, including technology breaches or failure;

•the performance of our investment portfolio and financial market volatility;

•the effects of inflation;

•our ability to successfully implement our business, strategies and initiatives, and the success of any of our strategic investments or acquisitions, including our ability to manage our operations as our product and geographical diversity increases;

•our exposure to credit loss from counterparties;

•our need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements;

•our ability to effectively manage capital on behalf of investors in joint ventures or other entities we manage;

•changes to the accounting rules and regulatory systems applicable to our business, including changes in Bermuda laws or regulations or as a result of increased global regulation of the insurance and reinsurance industries;

•other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting us;

•our ability to comply with covenants in our debt agreements;

•a contention by the IRS that any of our Bermuda subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the U.S.;

•the effects of possible future tax reform legislation and regulations, including changes to the tax treatment of our shareholders or investors in our joint ventures or other entities we manage;

•our ability to determine any impairments taken on our investments;

•the uncertainty of the continuing and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including measures taken in response thereto and the effect of legislative, regulatory and judicial influences on our potential reinsurance, insurance and investment exposures, or other effects that it may have;

•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•our ability to raise capital if necessary;

•our ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws;

•our dependence on the ability of our operating subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;

•aspects of our corporate structure that may discourage third-party takeovers and other transactions; and

•difficulties investors may have in serving process or enforcing judgments against us in the U.S.

As a consequence, our future financial condition and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us. The factors listed above, which are discussed in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, should not be construed as exhaustive. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as described below.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from these statements.

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, the results of operations and cash flows for any interim period will not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations and cash flows for the full fiscal year or subsequent quarters.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the reserve for claims and claim expenses; reinsurance recoverable and premiums receivable, including provisions for reinsurance recoverable and premiums receivable to reflect expected credit losses; estimates of written and earned premiums; fair value, including the fair value of investments, financial instruments and derivatives; impairment charges; deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired and the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The use of fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities with resulting unrealized gains or losses is pervasive within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined under accounting guidance currently applicable to the Company as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. The Company recognizes the change in unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value in its consolidated statements of operations.

FASB ASC Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures prescribes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices obtained from active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which the Company has access at the measurement date. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by the Company;

•Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, broker quotes and certain pricing indices; and

•Level 3 inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In these cases, significant management assumptions can be used to establish management’s best estimate of the assumptions used by other market participants in determining the fair value of the asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

In order to determine if a market is active or inactive for a security, the Company considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the spread between what a seller is asking for a security and what a buyer is bidding for the same security, the volume of trading activity for the security in question, the price of the security compared to its par value (for fixed maturity investments), and other factors that may be indicative of market activity.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s valuation techniques, nor have there been any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or Level 2 and Level 3 during the period represented by these consolidated financial statements.

Below is a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and also represents the carrying amount on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fixed Maturity Investments

Fixed maturity investments included in Level 1 consist of the Company’s investments in U.S. treasuries. Fixed maturity investments included in Level 2 are agencies, non-U.S. government, non-U.S. government-backed corporate, corporate, agency mortgage-backed, non-agency mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed.

The Company’s fixed maturity investments are primarily priced using pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as broker quotations. In general, the pricing vendors provide pricing for a high volume of liquid securities that are actively traded. For securities that do not trade on an exchange, the pricing services generally utilize market data and other observable inputs in matrix pricing models to determine month end prices. Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Index pricing generally relies on market traders as the primary source for pricing; however, models are also utilized to provide prices for all index eligible securities. The models use a variety of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, transactional data, dealer runs, broker-dealer quotes and corporate actions. Prices are generally verified using third-party data. Securities which are priced by an index provider are generally included in the index.

In general, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable inputs. The methodologies include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads, and performance on newly issued securities. Broker-dealers also determine valuations by observing secondary trading of similar securities. Prices obtained from broker quotations are considered non-binding, however they are based on observable inputs and by observing secondary trading of similar securities obtained from active and non-distressed markets.

The Company considers these broker quotations to be Level 2 inputs as they are corroborated with other market observable inputs. The techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are detailed below by asset class.

U.S. Treasuries

Level 1 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s U.S. treasuries fixed maturity investments were primarily priced by pricing services and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.4% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2021 - 1.1% and AA, respectively). When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including active broker-dealers. Certain data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source is used for each issue and maturity date.

Agencies

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.5% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2021 - 1.2% and AA, respectively). The issuers of the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments primarily consist of the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. Fixed maturity investments included in agencies are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data.

Non-U.S. Government

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.5% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2021 - 1.2% and AA, respectively). The issuers of securities in this sector are non-U.S. governments and their respective agencies as well as supranational organizations. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.

Non-U.S. Government-backed Corporate

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.7% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2021 - 1.4% and AA, respectively). Non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high quality credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread to the respective curve for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.

Corporate

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments principally consisted of U.S. and international corporations and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 3.9% and a weighted average credit quality of BBB (December 31, 2021 - 2.8% and BBB, respectively). The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. In certain instances, securities are individually evaluated using a spread which is added to the U.S. treasury curve or a security specific swap curve as appropriate.

Agency Mortgage-backed

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments included agency residential mortgage-backed securities with a weighted average yield to maturity of 3.0%, a weighted average credit quality of AA and a weighted average life of 7.8 years (December 31, 2021 - 1.9%, AA and 5.6 years, respectively). The Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services using a mortgage pool specific model which utilizes daily inputs from the active to-be-announced market which is very liquid, as well as the U.S. treasury market. The model also utilizes additional information, such as the weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon and other available pool level data which is provided by the sponsoring agency. Valuations are also corroborated with active market quotes.

Non-agency Mortgage-backed

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s non-agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 3.9%, a weighted average credit quality of non-investment grade and a weighted average life of 6.7 years (December 31, 2021 - 3.2%, non-investment grade and 5.7 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services using an option adjusted spread model or other relevant models, which principally utilize inputs including benchmark yields, available trade information or broker quotes, and issuer spreads. The pricing services also review collateral prepayment speeds, loss severity and delinquencies among other collateral performance indicators for the securities valuation, when applicable.

Commercial Mortgage-backed

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s commercial mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 3.3%, a weighted average credit quality of AA, and a weighted average life of 4.0 years (December 31, 2021 - 1.9%, AA and 4.1 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash

settlement. The pricing services discount the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using a spread adjusted benchmark yield based on the characteristics of the security.

Asset-backed

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.7%, a weighted average credit quality of AA and a weighted average life of 5.6 years (December 31, 2021 - 1.8%, AA and 5.4 years, respectively). The underlying collateral for the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments primarily consists of collateralized loan obligations and other receivables. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services determine the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using historical prepayment and default projections for the underlying collateral and current market data. In addition, a spread is applied to the relevant benchmark and used to discount the cash flows noted above to determine the fair value of the securities held in this sector.

Short Term Investments

Level 2 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s short term investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.5% and a weighted average credit quality of AAA (December 31, 2021 - 0.1% and AAA, respectively). The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of short term investments is generally determined using amortized cost which approximates fair value and, in certain cases, in a manner similar to the Company’s fixed maturity investments noted above.

Equity Investments, Classified as Trading

Level 1 - The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity investments, classified as trading is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including applicable securities exchanges. All data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source was used for each security.

Other Investments

Catastrophe Bonds

Level 2 - The Company’s other investments include investments in catastrophe bonds which are recorded at fair value based on broker or underwriter bid indications.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Derivatives

Level 1 and Level 2 - Other assets and liabilities include certain derivatives entered into by the Company. The fair value of these transactions includes certain exchange traded futures contracts which are considered Level 1, and foreign currency contracts and certain credit derivatives, determined using standard industry valuation models and considered Level 2, as the inputs to the valuation model are based on observable market inputs. For credit derivatives, these inputs include credit spreads, credit ratings of the underlying referenced security, the risk-free rate and the contract term. For foreign currency contracts, these inputs include spot rates and interest rate curves.

Other Investments

Direct Private Equity Investments

Level 3 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s other investments included $80.2 million of direct private equity investments which are recorded at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of internal valuation models. The Company measured the fair value of these investments using multiples of net tangible book value of the underlying entity. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these investments are liquidity discount rates applied to each of the net tangible book value multiples used in the internal valuation models, and discount rates applied to the expected cash flows of the underlying entity in various scenarios. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. Generally, an increase in the liquidity discount rate or discount rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of these private equity investments.

Term Loans

Level 3 - At March 31, 2022, the Company’s other investments included an $85.0 million investment in a term loan which is recorded at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are the cash flow projection of the associated term loan, and the discount rate. The discount rate used is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, which is then adjusted for credit risk and a risk premium. These adjustments may be impacted by market movements implied by transactions of similar or related assets, loan-to-value, tenor, liquidity, credit risk adjustment or other risk factors. Assumptions used in the valuation process may significantly impact the resulting fair value.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Assumed and Ceded (Re)insurance Contracts

Level 3 - At March 31, 2022, the Company had a $4.1 million net liability related to assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts accounted for at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of an internal valuation model. The inputs to the internal valuation model are principally based on proprietary data as observable market inputs are generally not available. The most significant unobservable inputs include the assumed and ceded expected net cash flows related to the contracts, including the expected premium, acquisition expenses and losses; the expected loss ratio and the relevant discount rate used to present value the net cash flows. The contract period and acquisition expense ratio are considered an observable input as each is defined in the contract. Generally, an increase in the net expected cash flows and expected term of the contract and a decrease in the discount rate, expected loss ratio or acquisition expense ratio, would result in an increase in the expected profit and ultimate fair value of these assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value

The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The Company’s (re)insurance contracts are excluded from the fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance, unless the Company elects the fair value option, and therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed herein. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, receivables for investments sold, certain other assets, payables for investments purchased, certain other liabilities, and other financial instruments not included herein approximated their fair values.

Debt

Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2022 were debt obligations of $1.2 billion (December 31, 2021 - $1.2 billion). At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was $1.2 billion (December 31, 2021 – $1.3 billion).

The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is determined using indicative market pricing obtained from third-party service providers, which the Company considers Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no changes during the period in the Company’s valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations. Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” for additional information related to the Company’s debt obligations.

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The Company has elected to account for certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value using the guidance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for these assets and liabilities. Below is a summary of the balances the Company has elected to account for at fair value:



	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Other investments	$	2,182,479	$	1,993,059
Other assets	$	4,416	$	6,100
Other liabilities	$	8,515	$	10,827

Included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were net unrealized losses of $6.1 million related to the changes in fair value of other investments (2021 – net unrealized gains of $15.9 million).

Private Equity Funds

The Company’s investments in private equity funds include limited partnership or similar interests that invest in certain private equity asset classes including U.S. and global leveraged buyouts. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these private equity funds in advance of dissolution of the applicable limited partnerships. Instead, distributions are received by the Company in connection with the exit from the underlying private equity investments of the fund. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships would liquidate over 5 to 10 years from inception of the limited partnership.

Private Credit Funds

The Company’s investments in private credit funds include limited partnership or similar interests that invest in certain private credit asset classes, including senior secured bank loan funds, U.S. direct lending funds,

secondaries, mezzanine investments and distressed securities. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these private credit funds in advance of dissolution of the applicable limited partnerships. Instead, distributions are received by the Company in connection with the liquidation or maturity of the underlying private credit assets of the fund. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships would liquidate over 5 to 10 years from inception of the limited partnership.

Hedge Funds

At March 31, 2022, the Company had an investment in a hedge fund of $Nil (2021 - $11.4 million). The hedge fund was primarily focused on global credit opportunities which were generally redeemable at the option of the limited partnership interest holder. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company fully redeemed its investment in the hedge fund.

Limited Partnerships Entities

The Company’s fund investments represent variable interests in limited partnerships entities with unaffiliated fund managers in the normal course of business. The Company determined that certain of these limited partnership interests represent investments in variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and that it is not required to consolidate these investments because it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these VIEs is limited to the carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any unfunded commitment.

The following table summarizes the aggregate carrying amount of the unconsolidated fund investments in VIEs, as well as our maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs:



	Maximum Exposure to Loss
At March 31, 2022	Carrying amount		Unfunded Commitments		Total
Other investments	$	596,925	$	1,315,179	$	1,912,104

At December 31, 2021
Other investments	$	539,866	$	1,282,451	$	1,822,317

NOTE 5. REINSURANCE

The Company purchases reinsurance and other protection to manage its risk portfolio and to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company currently has in place contracts that provide for recovery of a portion of certain claims and claim expenses, generally in excess of various retentions or on a proportional basis. In addition to loss recoveries, certain of the Company’s ceded reinsurance contracts provide for payments of additional premiums, for reinstatement premiums and for lost no-claims bonuses, which are incurred when losses are ceded to the respective reinsurance contracts. The Company remains liable to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet its obligations.

The following table sets forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on net claims and claim expenses incurred:



	Three months ended
	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021

Net claims and claim expenses incurred	$	841,733	$	867,051

In assessing an allowance for reinsurance assets, which includes premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable, the Company considers historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts, and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. In assessing future default for reinsurance assets, the Company evaluates the provision for current expected credit losses under the probability of default and loss given default method. The Company utilizes its internal capital and risk models, which use counterparty ratings from major rating agencies, and assesses the current market conditions for the likelihood of default. The Company updates its internal capital and risk models for counterparty ratings and current market conditions on a periodic basis. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses from reinsurance assets.

Premiums receivable reflect premiums written based on contract and policy terms and include estimates based on information received from both insureds and ceding companies, supplemented by our own judgement, including our estimates of premiums that are written but not reported. Due to the nature of reinsurance, ceding companies routinely report and remit premiums to us subsequent to the contract coverage period, although the time lag involved in the process of reporting and collecting premiums is typically shorter than the lag in reporting losses.

At March 31, 2022, the Company’s premiums receivable balance was $4.9 billion (December 31, 2021 - $3.8 billion). Of the Company’s premiums receivable balance as of March 31, 2022, the majority are receivable from highly rated counterparties. The provision for current expected credit losses on the Company’s premiums receivable was $2.8 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $2.8 million). The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company’s premiums receivable:



	Three months ended March 31, 2022
Beginning balance	$	2,776
Provision for allowance	—


Ending balance	$	2,776

Reinsurance recoverable reflects amounts due from reinsurers based on the claim liabilities associated with the reinsured policy. The Company accrues amounts that are due from assuming companies based on estimated ultimate losses applicable to the contracts.

At March 31, 2022, the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance was $4.3 billion (December 31, 2021 - $4.3 billion). Of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2022, 48.3% is fully

collateralized by our reinsurers, 50.8% is recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or higher by major rating agencies and 1.0% is recoverable from reinsurers rated lower than A- by major rating agencies (December 31, 2021 - 46.9%, 52.1% and 1.0%, respectively). The reinsurers with the three largest balances accounted for 20.0%, 7.7% and 4.6%, respectively, of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 19.9%, 8.4% and 4.3%, respectively). The provision for current expected credit losses was $8.3 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $8.3 million). The three largest company-specific components of the provision for current expected credit losses represented 15.2%, 10.3% and 9.4%, respectively, of the Company’s total provision for current expected credit losses at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 18.0%, 13.9% and 11.2%, respectively). The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable:



	Three months ended March 31, 2022
Beginning balance	$	8,344
Provision for allowance	—


Ending balance	$	8,344

NOTE 6. RESERVE FOR CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES

The Company believes the most significant accounting judgment made by management is its estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts the Company sells. The Company establishes its claims and claim expense reserves by taking claims reported to the Company by insureds and ceding companies, but which have not yet been paid (“case reserves”), adding estimates for the anticipated cost of claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company, or incurred but not enough reported to the Company (collectively referred to as “IBNR”) and, if deemed necessary, adding costs for additional case reserves which represent the Company’s estimates for claims related to specific contracts previously reported to the Company which it believes may not be adequately estimated by the client as of that date, or adequately covered in the application of IBNR (“additional case reserves”). The Company’s reserving committee, which includes members of the Company’s senior management, reviews, discusses, and assesses the reasonableness and adequacy of the reserving estimates included in our unaudited financial statements.

The following table summarizes the Company’s claims and claim expense reserves by segment, allocated between case reserves, additional case reserves and IBNR:



At March 31, 2022	Case Reserves		Additional Case Reserves		IBNR		Total
Property	$	1,679,877	$	1,956,369	$	2,597,013	$	6,233,259

Total	$	3,339,544	$	2,124,825	$	7,830,261	$	13,294,630

Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses is summarized as follows:

Prior Year Development of the Reserve for Net Claims and Claim Expenses

The Company’s estimates of claims and claim expense reserves are not precise in that, among other things, they are based on predictions of future developments and estimates of future trends and other variable factors. Some, but not all, of the Company’s reserves are further subject to the uncertainty inherent in actuarial methodologies and estimates. Because a reserve estimate is simply an insurer’s estimate at a point in time of its ultimate liability, and because there are numerous factors that affect reserves and claims payments that cannot be determined with certainty in advance, the Company’s ultimate payments will vary, perhaps materially, from its estimates of reserves. If the Company determines in a subsequent period that adjustments to its previously established reserves are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are identified. On a net basis, the Company’s cumulative favorable or unfavorable development is generally reduced by offsetting changes in its reinsurance recoverable, as well as changes to loss related premiums such as reinstatement premiums and redeemable noncontrolling interest, all of which generally move in the opposite direction to changes in the Company’s ultimate claims and claim expenses.

The following table details the Company’s prior year net development by segment of its liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses:



Three months ended March 31	2022		2021
	(Favorable) adverse development		(Favorable) adverse development
Property	$	(16,758)	$	(5,162)
Casualty and Specialty	(1,075)		(3,870)

Total net (favorable) adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses	$	(17,833)	$	(9,032)

Changes to prior year estimated net claims reserves decreased net loss by $17.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (2021 - decreased net loss by $9.0 million), excluding the consideration of changes in reinstatement, adjustment or other premium changes, profit commissions, redeemable noncontrolling interests - DaVinciRe and Vermeer, and income tax.

Property Segment

The following tables detail the development of the Company’s liability for net unpaid claims and claim expenses for its Property segment, allocated between large and small catastrophe net claims and claim expenses and attritional net claims and claim expenses, included in the other line item:

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Property segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $16.8 million included net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses associated with the following large catastrophe events:

•$19.2 million of net adverse development associated with Winter Storm Uri, the European Floods, Hurricane Ida, the hail storm in Europe in late June 2021, the wildfires in California during the third quarter of 2021, the tornadoes in the Central and Midwest U.S. in December 2021, the Midwest Derecho in December 2021, and losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2021 Weather-Related Large Loss Events”);

•$5.3 million of net favorable development associated with Hurricanes Laura, Sally, Isaias, Delta, Zeta and Eta, the California, Oregon and Washington wildfires, Typhoon Maysak, the August 2020 Derecho, and losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2020 Weather-Related Large Loss Events”);

•$4.8 million of net favorable development associated with Hurricane Dorian and Typhoons Faxai and Hagibis and certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2019 Large Loss Events”);

•$3.8 million of net favorable development associated with Typhoons Jebi, Mangkhut and Trami, Hurricane Florence, the wildfires in California during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, Hurricane Michael and certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2018 Large Loss Events”); and

•$18.0 million of net favorable development associated with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, the Mexico City Earthquake, the wildfires in California during the fourth quarter of 2017 and certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2017 Large Loss Events”).

The Company’s Property segment also experienced net favorable development of $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 associated with a number of other small catastrophe events as well as attritional loss movements related to lines of business where the Company principally estimates net claims and claim expenses using traditional actuarial methods.

Total net (favorable) adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses	$	(5,162)

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Property segment in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $5.2 million was primarily comprised of net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses associated with the following large catastrophe events:

•$4.7 million associated with the 2019 Large Loss Events;

•$3.3 million associated with the 2018 Large Loss Events; and

•$5.5 million associated with the 2017 Large Loss Events.

The Company’s Property segment also experienced net adverse development of $9.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 associated with a number of other small catastrophe events as well as attritional loss movements related to lines of business where the Company principally estimates net claims and claim expenses using traditional actuarial methods.

Casualty and Specialty Segment

The following table details the development of the Company’s liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses for its Casualty and Specialty segment:



Three months ended March 31	2022		2021

Total net (favorable) adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses	$	(1,075)	$	(3,870)

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Casualty and Specialty segment of $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses, principally within our specialty lines of business.

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Casualty and Specialty segment of $3.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due to reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses, principally within our specialty lines of business.

NOTE 7. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s debt obligations and credit facilities as described in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The agreements governing the Company’s debt obligations and credit facilities contain certain customary representations, warranties and covenants. At March 31, 2022, the Company was not in violation of any of its debt covenants.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – DaVinciRe

RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in DaVinciRe; however, because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinciRe’s issued voting shares, the consolidated financial statements of DaVinciRe are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

DaVinciRe shareholders are party to a shareholders agreement which provides DaVinciRe shareholders, excluding RenaissanceRe, with certain redemption rights that enable each shareholder to notify DaVinciRe of such shareholder’s desire for DaVinciRe to repurchase up to half of such shareholder’s initial aggregate number of shares held, subject to certain limitations, such as limiting the aggregate of all share repurchase requests to 25% of DaVinciRe’s capital in any given year and satisfying all applicable regulatory requirements. If total shareholder requests exceed 25% of DaVinciRe’s capital, the number of shares repurchased will be reduced among the requesting shareholders pro-rata, based on the amounts desired to be repurchased. Shareholders desiring to have DaVinci repurchase their shares must notify DaVinciRe before March 1 of each year. The repurchase price will be based on GAAP book value as of the end of the year in which the shareholder notice is given, and the repurchase will be effective as of December 31 of that year. The repurchase price can be subject to a holdback and true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves after settlement of claims relating to the applicable years. Similarly, when shares are issued by DaVinci and sold to DaVinci shareholders, the sale price is based on GAAP book value as of the end of the period preceding the sale and can be subject to a true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves.

NOTE 9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Upsilon RFO

RenaissanceRe indirectly owns a portion of the participating non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO and all of Upsilon RFO’s voting Class A shares. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholder) participate in all of the profits or losses of Upsilon RFO while their shares remain outstanding. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholder) indemnify Upsilon RFO against losses relating to insurance risk, and therefore, these shares have been accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance.

Upsilon RFO is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Upsilon RFO as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Upsilon RFO and has the obligation to

absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to Upsilon RFO, in accordance with the accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidates Upsilon RFO and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Other than its equity investment in Upsilon RFO, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Upsilon RFO that it was not contractually required to provide.

2022

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, $89.0 million of Upsilon RFO non-voting preference shares were issued to existing investors, including $10.0 million to the Company.

Mona Lisa Re provides reinsurance capacity to subsidiaries of RenaissanceRe through reinsurance agreements which are collateralized and funded by Mona Lisa Re through the issuance of one or more series of principal-at-risk variable rate notes to third-party investors.

Upon issuance of a series of notes by Mona Lisa Re, all of the proceeds from the issuance are deposited into collateral accounts, separated by series, to fund any potential obligation under the reinsurance agreements entered into with Renaissance Reinsurance and/or DaVinci underlying such series of notes. The outstanding principal amount of each series of notes generally will be returned to holders of such notes upon the expiration of the risk period underlying such notes, unless an event occurs which causes a loss under the applicable series of notes, in which case the amount returned will be reduced by such noteholder’s pro rata share of such loss, as specified in the applicable governing documents of such notes.

In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable quarterly, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes.

The Company concluded that Mona Lisa Re meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company evaluated its relationship with Mona Lisa Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Mona Lisa Re as it does not have the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Mona Lisa Re, in accordance with the

accounting guidance. As a result, the financial position and results of operations of Mona Lisa Re are not consolidated by the Company.

The only transactions related to Mona Lisa Re that are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are the ceded reinsurance agreements entered into by Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance, and the fair value of the principal-at-risk variable rate notes owned by the Company. Other than its investment in the principal-at-risk variable rate notes of Mona Lisa Re, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Mona Lisa Re that it was not contractually required to provide.

The fair value of the Company’s investment in the principal-at-risk variable rate notes of Mona Lisa Re is included in other investments. Net of third-party investors, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Mona Lisa Re was $5.0 million at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $6.5 million).

Fibonacci Re

Fibonacci Re provides collateralized capacity to Renaissance Reinsurance and its affiliates.

The Company concluded that Fibonacci Re meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company evaluated its relationship with Fibonacci Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Fibonacci Re as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Fibonacci Re. As a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Fibonacci Re.

In addition, as of March 31, 2022 the Company has invested $0.1 million in Langhorne Partners (December 31, 2021 - $0.1 million), the general partner for Langhorne and the entity which manages the third-party investors investing into Langhorne Holdings.

The Company concluded that Langhorne Holdings meets the definition of a VIE as the voting rights are not proportional with the obligations to absorb losses and rights to receive residual returns. The Company evaluated its relationship with Langhorne Holdings and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Langhorne Holdings, as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Langhorne Holdings. As a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Langhorne Holdings. The Company separately evaluated Langhorne Partners and concluded that it was not a VIE.

Other than its current and committed future equity investment in Langhorne, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Langhorne that it was not contractually required to provide.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, forward contracts and other derivative contracts primarily to manage its foreign currency exposure, obtain exposure to a particular financial market, for yield enhancement, or for trading and to assume risk. The Company’s derivative instruments can be exchange traded or over-the-counter, with over-the-counter derivatives generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish the terms of the transactions entered into with the Company’s derivative counterparties. In the event a party becomes insolvent or otherwise defaults on its obligations, a master agreement generally permits the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ marked-to-market values so that a single sum in a single currency will be owed by, or owed to, the non-defaulting party. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure. Where the Company has entered into master netting agreements with counterparties, or the Company has the legal and contractual right to offset positions, the derivative positions are generally netted by counterparty and are reported accordingly in other assets and other liabilities.

The Company is not aware of the existence of any credit-risk related contingent features that it believes would be triggered in its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at March 31, 2022.

The tables below show the gross and net amounts of recognized derivative assets and liabilities at fair value, including the location on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s principal derivative instruments:

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges

Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company uses interest rate futures and swaps within its portfolio of fixed maturity investments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, which may result in increasing or decreasing its exposure to this risk.

Interest Rate Futures

The fair value of interest rate futures is determined using exchange traded prices. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $1.3 billion of notional long positions and $0.5 billion of notional short positions of primarily Eurodollar and U.S. treasury futures contracts (December 31, 2021 - $2.2 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively).

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the relevant exchange traded price where available or a discounted cash flow model based on the terms of the contract and inputs, including, where applicable, observable yield curves. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $Nil of notional positions paying a fixed rate

and $Nil receiving a fixed rate denominated in U.S. dollar swap contracts (December 31, 2021 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively).

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company writes a portion of its business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and may, from time to time, experience foreign exchange gains and losses in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The impact of changes in exchange rates on the Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, excluding non-monetary assets and liabilities, are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Underwriting and Non-investments Operations Related Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company’s foreign currency policy with regard to its underwriting operations is generally to enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts for notional values that approximate the foreign currency liabilities, including claims and claim expense reserves and reinsurance balances payable, net of any cash, investments and receivables held in the respective foreign currency. The Company’s use of foreign currency forward and option contracts is intended to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities associated with its underwriting operations. The Company may determine not to match a portion of its projected underwriting related assets or liabilities with underlying foreign currency exposure with investments in the same currencies, which would increase its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and potentially increase the impact and volatility of foreign exchange gains and losses on its results of operations. The fair value of the Company’s underwriting operations related foreign currency contracts is determined using indicative pricing obtained from counterparties or broker quotes. At March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding underwriting related foreign currency contracts of $1.1 billion in notional long positions and $270.7 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2021 - $915.0 million and $329.3 million, respectively).

Investment Portfolio Related Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company’s investment operations are exposed to currency fluctuations through its investments in non-U.S. dollar fixed maturity investments, short term investments and other investments. From time to time, the Company may employ foreign currency forward contracts in its investment portfolio to either assume foreign currency risk or to economically hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations from these investments. The fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio related foreign currency forward contracts is determined using an interpolated rate based on closing forward market rates. At March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding investment portfolio related foreign currency contracts of $244.1 million in notional long positions and $124.7 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2021 - $245.8 million and $131.0 million, respectively).

Credit Derivatives

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is primarily due to its fixed maturity investments, short term investments, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable. From time to time, the Company may purchase credit derivatives to manage its exposures in the insurance industry, and to assist in managing the credit risk associated with ceded reinsurance. The Company also employs credit derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume credit risk or manage its credit exposure.

Credit Default Swaps

The fair value of the Company’s credit default swaps is determined using industry valuation models, broker bid indications or internal pricing valuation techniques. The fair value of these credit default swaps can change based on a variety of factors including changes in credit spreads, default rates and recovery rates, the correlation of credit risk between the referenced credit and the counterparty, and market rate inputs such as interest rates. At March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding credit default swaps of $Nil in notional positions to hedge credit risk and $124.2 million in notional positions to assume credit risk, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2021 - $218.5 million).

Total Return Swaps

From time to time, the Company uses total return swaps as a means to manage spread duration and credit exposure in its investment portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s total return swaps is determined using broker-dealer bid quotations, market-based prices from pricing vendors or valuation models. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding total return swaps.

Equity Derivatives

Equity Futures

From time to time, the Company uses equity derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume equity risk or hedge its equity exposure. The fair value of the Company’s equity futures is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. At March 31, 2022, the Company had a $290.6 million notional long position of equity futures, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2021 - $74.3 million).

Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

Foreign Currency Derivatives

Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries use non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign exchange forwards to hedge currencies, which includes hedges of net investments in foreign operations, on an after-tax basis, from changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. These currencies included the Australian dollar as of March 31, 2022, and both the Australian dollar and Euro as of March 31, 2021.

The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the fair value of its net investment in a foreign operation. The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts that were formally designated as hedges of its investment in subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. There was no ineffectiveness in these transactions.

The table below provides a summary of derivative instruments designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, including the weighted average U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign denominated net (liabilities) assets that were hedged and the resulting derivative gains (losses) that are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity:



	Three months ended
	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Weighted average of U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign denominated net assets (liabilities)	$	90,271	$	(97,219)
Derivative gains (losses) (1)	$	(3,027)	$	(2,089)

(1)Derivative gains (losses) from derivative instruments designated as hedges of the net investment in a foreign operation are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER ITEMS

There are no material changes from the commitments, contingencies and other items previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on reinsurance treaties or contracts or direct surplus lines insurance policies. In the Company’s industry, business litigation may involve allegations of

underwriting or claims-handling errors or misconduct, disputes relating to the scope of, or compliance with, the terms of delegated underwriting agreements, employment claims, regulatory actions or disputes arising from the Company’s business ventures. The Company’s operating subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving, among other things, disputed interpretations of policy coverages. Generally, the Company’s direct surplus lines insurance operations are subject to greater frequency and diversity of claims and claims-related litigation than its reinsurance operations and, in some jurisdictions, may be subject to direct actions by allegedly injured persons or entities seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, involving or arising out of claims on policies issued by the Company’s subsidiaries which are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of business, are considered in its loss and loss expense reserves. In addition, the Company may from time to time engage in litigation or arbitration related to its claims for payment in respect of ceded reinsurance, including disputes that challenge the Company’s ability to enforce its underwriting intent. Such matters could result, directly or indirectly, in providers of protection not meeting their obligations to the Company or not doing so on a timely basis. The Company may also be subject to other disputes from time to time, relating to operational or other matters distinct from insurance or reinsurance claims. Any litigation or arbitration, or regulatory process contains an element of uncertainty, and the value of an exposure or a gain contingency related to a dispute is difficult to estimate. The Company believes that no individual litigation or arbitration to which it is presently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business or operations.

NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective April 1, 2022, Fontana launched with capital commitments of $475.0 million, comprised of $325.0 million from third-party investors and $150.0 million from the Company. In April 2022, $400.0 million of this amount had been funded, comprised of $273.7 million from third-party investors and $126.3 million from the Company.

Subsequent to March 31, 2022, Medici issued $147.0 million of non-voting preference shares to investors, including $10.0 million to the Company. $67.0 million of the non-voting preference shares issued was received in advance, from investors other than the Company, and is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and also included in other operating cash flows on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in Medici subsequent to these transactions was 13.0%.

Effective April 1, 2022, the Company purchased an aggregate of $74.1 million shares in DaVinciRe from a third-party investor. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinciRe subsequent to this transaction was 33.8%.

OVERVIEW

RenaissanceRe is a global provider of reinsurance and insurance. We provide property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and certain insurance solutions to customers, principally through intermediaries. Established in 1993, we have offices in Bermuda, Australia, Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S. To best serve our clients in the places they do business, we have operating subsidiaries, branches, joint ventures, managed funds and underwriting platforms around the world. Our operating subsidiaries include Renaissance Reinsurance, Renaissance Reinsurance U.S., RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S., RREAG, Renaissance Reinsurance of Europe and our Lloyd’s syndicate, Syndicate 1458. We write property and casualty and specialty reinsurance through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, joint ventures, managed funds and Syndicate 1458 and certain insurance products primarily through Syndicate 1458 and RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. Syndicate 1458 provides us with access to Lloyd’s extensive distribution network and worldwide licenses, and also writes business through delegated authority arrangements. We also underwrite reinsurance on behalf of joint ventures, including DaVinci, Fontana, Top Layer Re, Upsilon RFO and Vermeer. In addition, through Medici, we invest in various insurance-based investment instruments that have returns primarily tied to property catastrophe risk.

Our mission is to match desirable, well-structured risks with efficient sources of capital to achieve our vision of being the best underwriter. We believe that this will allow us to produce superior returns for our shareholders over the long term, and to further our purpose of protecting communities and enabling prosperity. We seek to accomplish these goals by being a trusted, long-term partner to our customers for assessing and managing risk, delivering responsive and innovative solutions, leveraging our core capabilities of risk assessment and information management, investing in these core capabilities in order to serve our customers across market cycles, and keeping our promises. Our strategy focuses on superior risk selection, superior customer relationships and superior capital management. We provide value to our customers and joint venture and managed fund partners in the form of financial security, innovative products, and responsive service. We are known as a leader in paying valid claims promptly. We principally measure our financial success through long-term growth in tangible book value per common share plus the change in accumulated dividends. We believe this metric is the most appropriate measure of our financial performance, and in respect of which we believe we have delivered superior performance over time. The principal drivers of our profit are underwriting income, investment income, and fee income generated by our third-party capital management business.

Our core products include property, casualty and specialty reinsurance, and certain insurance products principally distributed through intermediaries, with whom we have cultivated strong long-term relationships. We believe we have been one of the world’s leading providers of catastrophe reinsurance since our founding. In recent years, through the strategic execution of several initiatives, including organic growth and acquisitions, we have expanded and diversified our casualty and specialty platform and products, and believe we are a leader in certain casualty and specialty lines of business.

Our current business strategy focuses predominantly on writing reinsurance, although as we grow our casualty and specialty and other property lines of business, we are increasingly writing excess and surplus lines insurance through delegated authority arrangements. We also pursue a number of other opportunities, such as creating and managing our joint ventures and managed funds, executing customized reinsurance transactions to assume or cede risk, and managing certain strategic investments directed at classes of risk other than catastrophe reinsurance. From time to time we consider diversification into new ventures, either through organic growth, the formation of new joint ventures or managed funds, or the acquisition of, or the investment in, other companies or books of business of other companies.

We have determined our business consists of the following reportable segments: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property (re)insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty (re)insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds.

The underwriting results of our operating subsidiaries and underwriting platforms are included in our Property and Casualty and Specialty segment results as appropriate.

A meaningful portion of the reinsurance and insurance we write provides protection from damages relating to natural and man-made catastrophes. Our results depend to a large extent on the frequency and severity of these catastrophic events, and the coverages we offer to customers that are affected by these events. We are exposed to significant losses from these catastrophic events and other exposures we cover, which primarily impact our Property segment, in both the property catastrophe and other property lines of business. Accordingly, we expect a significant degree of volatility in our financial results and our financial results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year, based on the level of insured catastrophic losses occurring around the world. Our Casualty and Specialty business, which represents approximately half of our gross premiums written annually, is an efficient use of capital that is generally less correlated with our Property business. It allows us to bring additional capacity to our clients, across a wider range of product offerings, while continuing to be good stewards of our shareholders’ capital.

We continually explore appropriate and efficient ways to address the risk needs of our clients and the impact of various regulatory and legislative changes on our operations. We have created and manage multiple capital vehicles across several jurisdictions and may create additional risk bearing vehicles or enter into additional jurisdictions in the future. In addition, our differentiated strategy and capabilities position us to pursue bespoke or large solutions for clients, which may be non-recurring. This, and other factors including the timing of contract inception, could result in significant volatility of premiums in both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. As our product and geographical diversity increases, we may be exposed to new risks, uncertainties and sources of volatility.

Our revenues are principally derived from three sources: (1) net premiums earned from the reinsurance and insurance policies we sell; (2) net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains from the investment of our capital funds and the investment of the cash we receive on the policies which we sell; and (3) fees received from our joint ventures, managed funds, and structured reinsurance products.

Our expenses primarily consist of: (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred on the policies of reinsurance and insurance we sell; (2) acquisition costs, which typically represent a percentage of the premiums we write; (3) operating expenses, which primarily consist of personnel expenses, rent and other operating expenses; (4) corporate expenses, which include certain executive, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, transaction and integration-related expenses, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company; (5) redeemable noncontrolling interests, which represent the interests of third parties with respect to the net income of DaVinciRe, Medici and Vermeer; and (6) interest and dividends related to our debt and preference shares. We are also subject to taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Since the majority of our income is currently earned in Bermuda, which does not have a corporate income tax, the tax impact to our operations has historically been minimal. In the future, our net tax exposure may increase as our operations expand geographically, or as a result of adverse tax developments.

The underwriting results of an insurance or reinsurance company are discussed frequently by reference to its net claims and claim expense ratio, underwriting expense ratio, and combined ratio. The net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by dividing net claims and claim expenses incurred by net premiums earned. The underwriting expense ratio is calculated by dividing underwriting expenses (acquisition expenses and operational expenses) by net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the net claims and claim expense ratio and the underwriting expense ratio. A combined ratio below 100% indicates profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. A combined ratio over 100% indicates unprofitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. We also discuss our net claims and claim expense ratio on a current accident year basis and a prior accident years basis. The current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking current accident year net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned. The prior accident years net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking prior accident years net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned.

Segments

Our reportable segments are defined as follows: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures and managed funds, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures and

managed funds. In addition to our two reportable segments, we have an Other category, which primarily includes our strategic investments, investments unit, corporate expenses, capital servicing costs, noncontrolling interests and certain expenses related to acquisitions and disposals.

Effects of Inflation

General economic inflation has increased and there is a risk of inflation remaining elevated for an extended period, which could cause claims and claim expenses to increase, impact the performance of our investment portfolio or have other adverse effects. This risk may be exacerbated by the steps taken by governments and central banks throughout the world in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The actual effects of the current and potential future increase in inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until, among other items, claims are ultimately settled. The onset, duration and severity of an inflationary period cannot be estimated with precision. We consider the anticipated effects of inflation on us in our catastrophe loss models and on our investment portfolio. Our estimates of the potential effects of inflation are also considered in pricing and in estimating reserves for unpaid claims and claim expenses. The potential exists, after a catastrophe loss, for the development of inflationary pressures in a local economy.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuing to evaluate its impact on our business, operations and financial condition, including our potential loss exposures. We continue to expect historically significant industry losses to emerge over time as the full impact of the pandemic and its effects on the global economy are realized.

Net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $394.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $290.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $103.5 million. As a result of our net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders in the first quarter of 2022, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of negative 28.1% and our book value per common share decreased from $132.17 at December 31, 2021 to $121.44 at March 31, 2022, a 7.8% decrease, after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.

The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the first quarter of 2022, on a comparative basis to the first quarter of 2021, include:

•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments, was a loss of $589.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $265.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The primary driver of the lower total investment result in the first quarter of 2022 was net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $673.0 million, principally within our fixed maturity and equity investments trading portfolios. The investment results in the first quarter of 2021 were impacted by realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity and equity investments trading portfolios

•Impact of Weather-Related Large Losses and the Russia-Ukraine War - we had a net negative impact on net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $67.9 million resulting from the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses (as defined below) and $24.9 million resulting from losses related to the Russia-Ukraine War. This compares to a net negative impact on net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $179.8 million resulting from Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter of 2021;

•Underwriting Results - we generated underwriting income of $200.3 million and had a combined ratio of 86.5% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to an underwriting loss of $35.8 million and a combined ratio of 103.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Our underwriting income in the first quarter of 2022 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated underwriting income of $184.8 million and had a combined ratio of 70.1%, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $15.5 million and had a combined ratio of 98.2%. In comparison, our underwriting loss in the first quarter of 2021 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated an underwriting loss of $41.8 million, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $6.0 million;

Our underwriting results in the first quarter of 2022 were principally impacted by the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $102.3 million and added 7.0 percentage points to the consolidated combined ratio, all in the Property segment. In addition, losses from the Russia-Ukraine War had a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $27.1 million and added 1.8 percentage points to the consolidated combined ratio, all in the Casualty and Specialty segment. The first quarter of 2021 was impacted by Winter Storm Uri, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $291.5 million and added 26.9 percentage points to the combined ratio;

•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written increased by $290.5 million, or 11.0%, to $2.9 billion, in the first quarter of 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021. This was comprised of an increase of $563.8 million in our Casualty and Specialty segment offset in part by a decrease of $273.3 million in our Property segment. In our Property segment, gross premiums written included reinstatement premiums of $11.0 million associated with the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $90.1 million of reinstatement premiums associated with Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter of 2021; and

•Net Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $46.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. This change was primarily driven by a lower impact of losses resulting from the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses as compared to Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter of 2021.

Net Negative Impact

Net negative impact on underwriting result includes the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) assumed and ceded reinstatement premiums earned and (3) earned and lost profit commissions. Net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders is the sum of (1) net negative impact on underwriting result and (2) redeemable noncontrolling interest, both before consideration of any related income tax benefit (expense).

Our estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of our potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. Our actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, may 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 from catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of each event, the geographic areas impacted by the events, 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.

In February 2022, Russia launched an invasion into Ukraine. There is uncertainty associated with the scale, duration and impact of this situation, which we continue to actively monitor. Our loss estimates represent our best estimate of incurred losses based on currently available information, and actual losses may vary materially from these estimates.

Russia-Ukraine War Losses

In the first quarter of 2022, losses related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resulted in a net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $24.9 million. This reflects net claims and claims expenses incurred and a net negative impact on underwriting result of $27.1 million, which was solely in the Casualty and Specialty segment, partially offset by redeemable noncontrolling interest of $2.2 million. The net negative impact on underwriting result had a 1.8 percentage point impact on the consolidated combined ratio.

Property Gross Premiums Written

In the first quarter of 2022, our Property segment gross premiums written decreased by $273.3 million, or 16.9%, to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2021.

Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $886.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $245.0 million, or 21.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a $175.5 million reduction in Upsilon RFO, the majority of which is attributable to third party investors in Upsilon RFO and, accordingly, resulted in a corresponding reduction in ceded premiums written, as discussed below, and a $79.1 million change in assumed reinstatement premiums following a lower level of catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Excluding Upsilon RFO and the impact of the reinstatement premiums in each of the respective periods, gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business are relatively constant from the comparative period.

Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $457.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $28.3 million, or 5.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross premiums written in the other property class of business was principally due to the planned non-renewal of certain deals which is partially offset by growth and rate improvement across other areas within this class of business.

Property Ceded Premiums Written



Three months ended March 31	2022		2021		Change
(in thousands)
Ceded premiums written	$	453,342	$	608,359	$	(155,017)

Ceded premiums written in our Property segment were $453.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $155.0 million, or 25.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in ceded premiums written was driven by the reduction in premiums ceded to Upsilon third party investors following a reduction in the size of the Upsilon vehicle, and a corresponding decrease in gross premiums written, as discussed above.

Property Net Premiums Written



Three months ended March 31	2022		2021		Change
(in thousands)
Net premiums written	$	890,166	$	1,008,460	$	(118,294)

Net premiums written in our Property segment were $890.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $118.3 million, or 11.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was driven by a $69.0 million decrease in net reinstatement premiums, as well as the decrease in gross premiums written in the other property class of business.

Property Underwriting Results

Our Property segment generated underwriting income of $184.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to an underwriting loss of $41.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, our Property segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 42.0%, an underwriting expense ratio of 28.1% and a combined ratio of 70.1%, compared to 82.4%, 24.5% and 106.9%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021.

Principally impacting the underwriting result and combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022 were the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $102.3 million and added 17.3 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio. In comparison, the first quarter of 2021 was principally impacted by Winter Storm Uri, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $288.5 million and added 53.9 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio.

The net claims and claim expense ratio decreased 40.4 percentage points, primarily as a result of a lower impact from the Q1 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, as compared to Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter of 2021, as well as net favorable development on prior accident years principally from weather-related large losses in the 2017 to 2020 accident years.

The underwriting expense ratio increased 3.6 percentage points, driven by a deterioration of 1.9 percentage points in the acquisition expense ratio as well as 1.8 percentage points in the operating expense ratio, both primarily driven by a quarter-over-quarter reduction in reinstatement premiums due to a lower level of weather-related large losses.

See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.

Casualty and Specialty Segment

Below is a summary of the underwriting results and ratios for our Casualty and Specialty segment:



Three months ended March 31	2022			2021			Change
(in thousands, except percentages)
Gross premiums written	$	1,599,456		$	1,035,623		$	563,833

Underwriting expense ratio	31.1		%	31.8		%	(0.7)		%
Combined ratio	98.2		%	98.9		%	(0.7)		%

Casualty and Specialty Gross Premiums Written

In the first quarter of 2022, our Casualty and Specialty segment gross premiums written increased by $563.8 million, or 54.4%, to $1.6 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2021. The growth was across all lines of business, however principally in the professional liability and general casualty lines of business. This growth was primarily driven by increases in new and existing business written in the current and prior periods, combined with rate improvements.

Our relative mix of business between proportional business and excess of loss business has fluctuated in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future. Proportional business typically has a higher expense ratio and tends to be exposed to more attritional and frequent losses, while being subject to less expected severity as compared to traditional excess of loss business.

Casualty and Specialty Ceded Premiums Written



Three months ended March 31	2022		2021		Change
(in thousands)
Ceded premiums written	$	324,405	$	220,000	$	104,405

Ceded premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment increased by $104.4 million, to $324.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $220.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the increase in gross premiums written subject to our retrocessional quota share reinsurance programs.

As in our Property segment, the purchase of ceded reinsurance protection in our Casualty and Specialty segment is based on market opportunities and is not based on placing a specific reinsurance program each year.

Casualty and Specialty Net Premiums Written



Three months ended March 31	2022		2021		Change
(in thousands)
Net premiums written	$	1,275,051	$	815,623	$	459,428

Net premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment increased by $459.4 million, or 56.3%, to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $815.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by growth in the casualty lines of business, consistent with the changes in gross premiums written.

Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results

Our Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 67.1%, an underwriting expense ratio of 31.1% and a combined ratio of 98.2%, compared to 67.1%, 31.8% and 98.9%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021.

The decrease in the Casualty and Specialty segment combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by the decrease of 0.7 percentage points in the underwriting expense ratio.

The net claims and claim expense ratio was unchanged from the first quarter of 2021. Included in the first quarter of 2022 is the impact of the Russia-Ukraine War, which added 3.1 percentage points of losses to the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio.

The decrease in both the underwriting expense ratio and the combined ratio in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to the first quarter of 2021, was principally due to a 1.2 percentage point improvement in the operating expense ratio driven by improved operating leverage, partly offset by a 0.5 percentage point increase in the net acquisition expense ratio due to slightly higher costs associated with the casualty book.

The table above shows total fee income earned through third-party capital management activities, including various joint ventures, managed funds and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party. Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be zero or negative in a particular period if, for example, large losses occur, which can potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees. Joint ventures include DaVinciRe, Top Layer Re, Vermeer and certain entities investing in Langhorne Holdings LLC. Managed funds include Upsilon Fund and Medici. Structured reinsurance products and other includes certain reinsurance contracts and certain other vehicles through which we transfer risk to capital.

In the first quarter of 2022, total fee income earned through third-party capital management activities increased $4.4 million, to $28.3 million, compared to $24.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower performance fee income in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The lower performance fee in 2021 was driven by the impact of Winter Storm Uri losses on the results of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds. The performance fee in 2022, although favorable compared to the first quarter of 2021, continued to be negatively impacted by the underwriting deficit carried forward from weather-related losses in 2021. This increase in performance fee income was partially offset by lower management fee income, primarily due to the reduced size of the Company’s structured reinsurance products and lower capital managed at Upsilon, partially offset by increased capital managed at DaVinciRe, Medici and Vermeer.

The fees earned through third-party capital management activities are principally recorded through redeemable noncontrolling interest, or as an increase to underwriting income (reduction to underwriting loss), through a decrease in operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as detailed in the table below.

In addition to the $28.3 million of fee income earned through our third-party capital management activities described above, we earned $20.9 million of additional fees on other underwriting-related activities, primarily related to expense overrides paid to us by our reinsurers. These additional fees on other

underwriting-related activities are recorded as a reduction to operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as applicable. The total fees recorded through underwriting income (loss) are detailed in the table below.

Our investment portfolio strategy seeks to preserve capital and provide us with a high level of liquidity. A large majority of our investments are invested in the fixed income markets and, therefore, our realized and unrealized holding gains and losses on investments are highly correlated to fluctuations in interest rates. Therefore, as interest rates decline, we will tend to have realized and unrealized gains from our investment portfolio, and as interest rates rise, we will tend to have realized and unrealized losses from our investment portfolio.

Net realized and unrealized losses on investments were $673.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $345.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Impacting our net realized and unrealized losses on investments in the first quarter of 2022 were:

•net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity investments trading of $585.3 million compared to $276.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase in net realized and unrealized losses of $308.7 million. The higher net realized and unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2022 were driven by a more significant increase in interest rates in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021.

•net realized and unrealized losses on equity investments trading of $48.7 million compared to $67.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease in net realized and unrealized losses of $19.2 million. The net realized and unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2022 were principally driven by broad equity market declines, whereas in the first quarter of 2021, the result was driven by net losses from our investment in Trupanion, Inc.

•net realized and unrealized losses on investments-related derivatives of $40.3 million compared to gains of $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $55.1 million, principally driven by the increase in interest rates, which negatively impacted our long interest rate futures positions.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)

(in thousands)
Net foreign exchange gains (losses)	$	(15,486)	$	(22,788)	$	7,302

In the first quarter of 2022, net foreign exchange losses were $15.5 million compared to $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The net foreign exchange losses in both periods were primarily driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici which are allocated through noncontrolling interest and miscellaneous foreign exchange losses generated by our underwriting activities.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We routinely write a portion of our business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and invest a portion of our cash and investment portfolio in those currencies. In addition, and in connection with the acquisition of TMR, we acquired certain entities with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign exchange gains and losses in our consolidated financial statements. We are primarily impacted by the foreign currency risk exposures associated with our underwriting operations, and our investment portfolio, and may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.

Refer to “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information related to our exposure to foreign currency risk and “Note 13. Derivative Instruments” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to foreign currency forward and option contracts we have entered into.

Total equity in earnings (losses) of other ventures	$	(6,390)	$	(5,558)	$	(832)

Equity in earnings (losses) of other ventures represents our pro-rata share of the net income (loss) from our investments in the Tower Hill Companies, Top Layer Re, and our equity investments in a select group of insurance and insurance-related companies, which are included in Other. Except for Top Layer Re, which is recorded on a current quarter basis, equity in earnings (losses) of other ventures is recorded one quarter in arrears. The carrying value of these investments on our consolidated balance sheets, individually or in the aggregate, may differ from the realized value we may ultimately attain, perhaps significantly so.

Losses from our investments in other ventures were $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $0.8 million.

Corporate expenses include certain executive, director, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, severance costs, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company.

Corporate expenses increased to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase of $2.1 million was primarily due to management departures in 2022.

We recognized an income tax benefit of $36.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in our income tax benefit is primarily driven by unrealized investment losses in our U.S. based operations.

Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	$	(11,912)	$	(46,850)	$	34,938

Our net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $46.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, a change of $34.9 million. This change was primarily due to the following:

•DaVinciRe, which had a net loss in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to realized and unrealized losses on investments, driven by the increase in interest rates discussed previously, as compared to a larger net loss in the first quarter of 2021, which was driven by losses from Winter Storm Uri; and

•RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), which, while generating positive returns for Medici’s investors, had a net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2022 due to foreign exchange losses on hedges related to foreign currency share classes held by third-party investors. After taking into account the original currency carrying value of Medici’s foreign currency share classes, foreign currency hedges had no net impact to Medici’s investors. This was partially offset by

•Vermeer, which had improved net income in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021, which was impacted by losses resulting from Winter Storm Uri.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Condition

As a Bermuda-domiciled holding company, RenaissanceRe has limited operations of its own. Its assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries and cash and securities in amounts which fluctuate over time. We therefore rely on dividends and distributions (and other statutorily permissible payments) from our subsidiaries, investment income and fee income to meet our liquidity requirements, which primarily include making principal and interest payments on our debt and dividend payments to our preference and common shareholders.

The payment of dividends by our subsidiaries is, under certain circumstances, limited by the applicable laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. In addition, insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity. We believe that each of our insurance subsidiaries and branches exceeded the minimum solvency, capital and surplus requirements in their applicable jurisdictions at March 31, 2022. Certain of our subsidiaries and branches are required to file FCRs, with their regulators, which provide details on solvency and financial performance. Where required, these FCRs will be posted on our website. The regulations governing our and our principal operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity, and requirements to file FCRs are discussed in detail in “Part I, Item 1. Business, Regulation” and “Note 18. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Holding Company Liquidity

RenaissanceRe’s principal uses of liquidity are: (1) common share related transactions including dividend payments to our common shareholders and common share repurchases, (2) preference share related transactions including dividend payments to our preference shareholders and preference share redemptions, (3) interest and principal payments on debt, (4) capital investments in our subsidiaries, (5) acquisition of new or existing companies or businesses and (6) certain corporate and operating expenses.

We attempt to structure our organization in a way that facilitates efficient capital movements between RenaissanceRe and our operating subsidiaries and to ensure that adequate liquidity is available when required, giving consideration to applicable laws and regulations, and the domiciliary location of sources of liquidity and related obligations. For example, our internal investment structures and cash pooling arrangements among the Company and certain of our subsidiaries help to efficiently facilitate capital and liquidity movements.

In the aggregate, our principal operating subsidiaries have historically produced sufficient cash flows to meet their expected claims payments and operational expenses and to provide dividend payments to us. In addition, our subsidiaries maintain a concentration of investments in high quality liquid securities, which management believes will provide additional liquidity for extraordinary claims payments should the need arise. However, in some circumstances, RenaissanceRe may determine it is necessary or advisable to contribute capital to our subsidiaries, or may be contractually required to contribute capital to our joint ventures or managed funds. For example, in 2022, RenaissanceRe contributed capital to RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. to support growth in premiums. In addition, from time to time we invest in new managed joint ventures or managed funds, increase our investments in certain of our managed joint ventures or managed funds and contribute cash to investment subsidiaries. For instance, effective April 1, 2022, RenaissanceRe launched Fontana, an innovative joint venture dedicated to writing Casualty and Specialty risks. In certain instances, we are required to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries, for example, Renaissance Reinsurance is obligated to make a mandatory capital contribution of up to $50.0 million in the event that a loss reduces Top Layer Re’s capital below a specified level.

Sources of Liquidity

Historically, cash receipts from operations, consisting primarily of premiums, investment income and fee income, have provided sufficient funds to pay the losses and operating expenses incurred by our

subsidiaries and to fund dividends and distributions to RenaissanceRe. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.

The premiums received by our operating subsidiaries are generally received months or even years before losses are paid under the policies related to such premiums. Premiums and acquisition expenses generally are received within the first two years of inception of a contract, while operating expenses are generally paid within a year of being incurred. It generally takes much longer for net claims and claims expenses incurred to be reported and ultimately settled, requiring the establishment of reserves for claims and claim expenses and losses recoverable. Therefore, the amount of net claims paid in any one year is not necessarily related to the amount of net claims and claims expenses incurred in that year, as reported in the consolidated statement of operations.

While we expect that our liquidity needs will continue to be met by our cash receipts from operations, relatively low investment yields, and the nature of our business where a large portion of the coverages we provide can produce losses of high severity and low frequency, future cash flows from operating activities cannot be accurately predicted and may fluctuate significantly between individual quarters and years. In addition, due to the magnitude and complexity of certain large loss events, meaningful uncertainty remains regarding losses from these events and our actual ultimate net losses from these events may vary materially from preliminary estimates, which would impact our cash flows from operations.

Our “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act allows for the public offering of various types of securities, including common shares, preference shares and debt securities, which provides a source of liquidity. Because we are a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, we are also eligible to file additional automatically effective registration statements on Form S-3 in the future for the potential offering and sale of additional debt and equity securities.

Credit Facilities, Trusts and Other Collateral Arrangements

We also maintain various other arrangements that allow us to access liquidity and satisfy collateral requirements, including revolving credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and regulatory trusts, as well as other types of trust and collateral arrangements. Regulatory and other requirements to post collateral to support our reinsurance obligations could impact our liquidity. For example, many jurisdictions in the U.S. do not permit insurance companies to take credit for reinsurance obtained from unlicensed or non-admitted insurers on their statutory financial statements unless security is posted, so our contracts generally require us to post a letter of credit or provide other security (e.g., through a multi-beneficiary reinsurance trust). In addition, if we were to fail to comply with certain covenants in our debt agreements, we may have to pledge additional collateral.

Letter of Credit and Revolving Credit Facilities

We and certain of our subsidiaries, joint ventures, and managed funds maintain secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities and letter of credit facilities that provide liquidity and allow us to satisfy certain collateral requirements. The outstanding amounts drawn under each of our significant credit facilities are set forth below

(1)At March 31, 2022, no amounts were issued or drawn under this facility.

(2)RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in Medici. Because RenaissanceRe controls all of Medici’s issued voting shares, the financial statements of Medici are included in RenaissanceRe’s consolidated financial statements. The drawn amount of the Medici Revolving Credit Facility is included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under debt. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, Medici repaid in full the aggregate principal amount drawn under the Medici Revolving Credit Facility.

There have been no material changes to our credit facilities as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to our significant debt and credit facilities.

Funds at Lloyd’s

As a member of Lloyd’s, the underwriting capacity, or stamp capacity, of Syndicate 1458 must be supported by providing a deposit, the FAL, in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit. At March 31, 2022, the FAL required to support the underwriting activities at Lloyd’s through Syndicate 1458 was £751.7 million (December 31, 2021 - £756.0 million). Actual FAL posted for Syndicate 1458 at March 31, 2022 by RenaissanceRe CCL was $953.8 million (December 31, 2021 - $983.4 million), supported by a $275.0 million letter of credit and a $678.8 million deposit of cash and fixed maturity securities (December 31, 2021 - $275.0 million and $708.4 million, respectively). Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to this letter of credit facility.

Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts, Multi-Beneficiary Reduced Collateral Reinsurance Trusts

Certain of our insurance subsidiaries use multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts to collateralize reinsurance liabilities. As described below, as of March 31, 2022, all of these trusts were funded in accordance with the relevant regulatory thresholds, However, Renaissance Reinsurance maintains a significant surplus in the amount of approximately $604.6 million, which is the subject of a withdrawal request that is under review by the NYDFS. Refer to “Note 18. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information on our multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts.

Assets held under trust at March 31, 2022 with respect to our multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts totaled $1.1 billion and $261.6 million for Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci, respectively (December 31, 2021 - $1.2 billion and $272.0 million, respectively), compared to the minimum amount required under U.S. state regulations of $537.6 million and $161.9 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $531.8 million and $182.3 million, respectively).

Assets held under trust at March 31, 2022 with respect to our multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts totaled $141.4 million, $165.1 million, and $88.4 million for Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci and RREAG respectively (December 31, 2021 - $136.3 million, $168.1 million and $86.6 million respectively), compared to the minimum amount required under U.S. state regulations of $131.9 million, $156.8 million and $78.8 million respectively (December 31, 2021 - $128.1 million, $164.5 million and $75.8 million respectively).

Contractual Obligations

In assessing our liquidity requirements and cash needs, we also consider contractual obligations to which we are a party. These contractual obligations are summarized in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations as disclosed in the table of contractual obligations and related footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $296.0 million, to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2021.

Cash flows provided by operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $168.2 million, compared to $206.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net loss of $397.5 million to net cash provided by operating activities, including:

•an increase in unearned premiums of $1.0 billion due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;

•net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $632.7 million primarily driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses resulting from the significant increase in interest rates;

•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $458.7 million principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares; partially offset by

•an increase in premiums receivable of $1.1 billion due to the timing of receipts and increase in our gross premiums written;

•an increase of $331.3 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to the timing of payments; and

•a decrease in other operating cash flows of $160.6 million primarily reflecting subscriptions received in advance of the issuance of Medici’s non-voting preference shares effective April 1, 2022, which were recorded in other liabilities at March 31, 2021, and an increase in the Company’s deferred tax asset. See “Note 8. Noncontrolling Interests” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Medici’s non-voting preference shares.

Cash flows used in investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our cash flows used in investing activities were $403.9 million, principally reflecting net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading of $446.8 million, equity investments trading of $374.3 million, and other investments of $210.8 million, partially offset by cash flow from net sales of short term investments of $626.6 million. The net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading was primarily funded by cash flows provided by operating activities, as described above, whereas the net purchase of other investments during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily driven by an increased allocation to catastrophe bonds and fund investments.

Cash flows used in financing activities. Our cash flows used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $66.5 million, and were principally the result of:

•the repurchase of 576.7 thousand of our common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $93.4 million and an average price of $162.03 per common share;

•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $16.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively; and partially offset by

•net inflows of $66.7 million primarily related to net third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in Medici and DaVinci.

2021

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $450.2 million, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2020.

Cash flows provided by operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $206.5 million, compared to $475.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net loss of $330.5 million to net cash provided by operating activities, including:

•an increase in unearned premiums of $1.1 billion due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;

•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $766.3 million principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares;

•an increase in reserve for claims and claim expenses of $572.2 million primarily the result of net claims and claim expenses associated with Winter Storm Uri;

•net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $360.4 million principally driven by net unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments and equity investments trading, partially offset by net realized gains in equity investments trading, primarily in the strategic investment portfolio; partially offset by

•an increase in premiums receivable of $1.0 billion due to the timing of receipts and increase in our gross premiums written;

•an increase of $406.1 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to the timing of payments and increase in ceded premiums written; and

•a decrease in other operating cash flows of $423.4 million primarily reflecting subscriptions received in advance of the issuance of Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares effective January 1, 2021, which were recorded in other liabilities at December 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, in connection with the issuance of the non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO, other liabilities were reduced by the subscriptions received in advance, and reinsurance balances payable were increased by an offsetting amount, with corresponding impacts to other operating cash flows and the change in reinsurance balances payable, as noted above, on our consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares.

Cash flows used in investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our cash flows used in investing activities were $463.1 million, principally reflecting net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading, short term investments and other investments of $339.5 million, $111.1 million and $127.7 million, respectively, partially offset by net sales of equity investments trading of $128.0 million. The net purchase of fixed maturity investments trading was primarily funded by cash flows provided by operating activities, as described above, whereas the net purchase of short term investments was primarily associated with capital received from investors in Upsilon RFO during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net purchase

of other investments during the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by an increased allocation to catastrophe bonds.

Cash flows used in financing activities. Our cash flows used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $193.6 million, and were principally the result of:

•the repurchase of 1.1 million of our common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $171.6 million and an average price of $159.47 per common share;

•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $17.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively; partially offset by

•net inflows of $13.0 million primarily related to net third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in Medici and DaVinci.

Capital Resources

We monitor our capital adequacy on a regular basis and seek to adjust our capital according to the needs of our business. In particular, we require capital sufficient to meet or exceed the capital adequacy ratios established by rating agencies for maintenance of appropriate financial strength ratings, the capital adequacy tests performed by regulatory authorities and the capital requirements under our credit facilities. From time to time, rating agencies may make changes in their capital models and rating methodologies, which could increase the amount of capital required to support our ratings. We may seek to raise additional capital or return capital to our shareholders through common share repurchases and cash dividends (or a combination of such methods). In the normal course of our operations, we may from time to time evaluate additional share or debt issuances given prevailing market conditions and capital management strategies, including for our operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds. In addition, as noted above, we enter into agreements with financial institutions to obtain letter of credit facilities for the benefit of our operating subsidiaries and certain of our joint ventures and managed funds in their reinsurance and insurance business.

Our shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe decreased $507.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 principally as a result of:

•the repurchase of 576.7 thousand common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $93.4 million and an average price of $162.03 per common share;

•our comprehensive loss attributable to RenaissanceRe of $387.5 million; and

•$16.2 million and $8.8 million of dividends on our common and preference shares, respectively; partially offset by

•$11.9 million of net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses

We believe the most significant accounting judgment made by management is our estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts we sell. Our actual net claims and claim expenses paid will differ, perhaps materially, from the estimates reflected in our financial statements, which may adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.

Refer to “Note 8. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” included herein for more information on the risks we insure and reinsure, the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, prior year development of the reserve for claims and claim expenses, analysis of our incurred and paid claims development and claims duration information for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. In addition, refer to “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates, Claims and Claim Expense Reserves” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information on the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, our current estimates versus our initial estimates of our claims reserves, and sensitivity analysis for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments.

We structure our investment portfolio to emphasize the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet our claims obligations, to be well diversified across market sectors, and to generate relatively attractive returns on a risk-adjusted basis over time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our investments are subject to market-wide risks and fluctuations, as well as to risks inherent in particular securities. For additional information regarding our investments and the fair value measurement of our investments refer to “Note 3. Investments” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.”

As the reinsurance coverages we sell include substantial protection for damages resulting from natural and man-made catastrophes, as well as for potentially large casualty and specialty exposures, we expect, from time to time, to become liable for substantial claim payments on short notice. Accordingly, our investment portfolio as a whole is structured to seek to preserve capital and provide a high level of liquidity, which means that the large majority of our investments are highly rated fixed income securities, including U.S. treasuries, agencies, highly rated sovereign and supranational securities, high-grade corporate securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. We also have an allocation to publicly traded equities reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as equity investments trading and an allocation to other investments (including catastrophe bonds, direct private equity investments, fund investments and term loans).

Other Investments

The table below shows our portfolio of other investments:



	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		Change
(in thousands)
Catastrophe bonds	$	1,233,023	$	1,104,034	$	128,989

Fund investments	784,243		725,802		58,441

Total other investments	$	2,182,479	$	1,993,059	$	189,420

We account for our other investments at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments. The fair value of our fund investments, which include private equity funds, private credit funds and hedge funds, is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in other investments, and is generally established on the basis of the net asset value per share (or its equivalent), determined by the managers of these investments in accordance with the applicable governing documents. Many of our fund investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales which limit our ability to liquidate these investments in the short term.

Some of our fund managers and fund administrators are unable to provide final fund valuations as of our current reporting date. We typically experience a reporting lag to receive a final net asset value report of one month for our hedge funds and certain private credit funds and three months for private equity funds and private credit funds, although we have occasionally experienced delays of up to six months at year end. In circumstances where there is a reporting lag, we estimate the fair value of these funds by starting with the prior month or quarter-end fund valuation, adjusting for actual capital calls, redemptions or distributions, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and then estimating the return for the current period using all information available to us. This principally includes using preliminary estimates reported to us by our fund managers, estimating returns based on the performance of broad market indices, or other valuation methods. Actual final fund valuations may differ, perhaps materially, from our estimates and these differences are recorded as a change in estimate in our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they are reported to us. Included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is income of $19.2 million (2021 - $1.8 million) representing the change in estimate during the period related to the difference between our estimated net realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to the lag in reporting discussed above and the actual amount as reported in the final net asset values provided by our fund managers.

Our estimate of the fair value of catastrophe bonds is based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications. Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the fair value of measurement of our investments.

We have committed capital to direct private equity investments, fund investments, term loans, and investments in other ventures of $2.8 billion, of which $1.4 billion has been contributed at March 31, 2022. Our remaining commitments to these investments at March 31, 2022 totaled $1.4 billion. In the future, we may enter into additional commitments in respect of these investments or individual portfolio company investment opportunities.

Ratings

Financial strength ratings are important to the competitive position of reinsurance and insurance companies. We have received high long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings and scores from A.M. Best, S&P, Moody’s and Fitch as applicable. These ratings represent independent opinions of an insurer’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet policyholder obligations, and are not an evaluation directed toward the protection of investors or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities. Rating organizations continually review the financial positions of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and ratings may be revised or revoked by the agencies which issue them. Additionally, rating organizations may change their rating methodology, which could have a material impact on our financial strength ratings.

In addition, S&P and A.M. Best assess companies’ ERM practices, which is an opinion on the many critical dimensions of risk that determine overall creditworthiness. RenaissanceRe has been assigned an ERM score of “Very Strong” from each of these agencies, which is the highest ERM score assigned.

The ratings of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and the ERM score of RenaissanceRe as of May 2, 2022 are presented below.

CURRENT OUTLOOK

Reinsurance Market Trends and Developments

Over the last 10 years, we have made key strategic decisions to build the capabilities and scale that we believe will allow us to generate superior returns in an evolving marketplace. In furtherance of this, in April

2022, we launched Fontana, an innovative casualty and specialty joint venture. We have diversified our sources of capital through various owned and managed balance sheets as well as equity, debt and insurance-linked securities markets. We are unique among our peers in that we have both owned and managed, and rated and fronted, vehicles across the risks that we write. This has afforded us significant flexibility to react when the world changes.

We believe that market conditions have created significant opportunities to source attractive risk in the lines of business that we write, and that such opportunities will result in superior returns for our shareholders. The property catastrophe market in particular has contracted as many participants are unwilling to accept heightened levels of volatility, which continue to grow as a result of the impacts of climate change. We believe that our understanding of volatility places us in a preferred position to accept risk, and we continue to see strong opportunities for growth across our portfolio.

We believe that we are uniquely positioned to write a variety of risks, leveraging the enhancements we have made over the last several years to our risk and capital management technology and underwriting expertise to cover additional lines of business. In particular, we have invested heavily to understand the influence of climate change on the weather and its impact on the risks that we take. This quarter, with the help of our RenaissanceRe Risk Sciences team, we further updated our hurricane model to reflect our view of the increased risk from the impact of climate change as well as social and economic inflation.

We plan to continue to seek to take advantage of additional opportunities throughout the year and think that strategic decisions we have made in prior periods have laid the foundation for these initiatives. We believe that our clients value our ability to be a long-term partner who brings access to multiple forms of capital and innovative, large-scale solutions.

General Economic Conditions

We have continued to actively manage our capital in 2022. When our shares trade at attractive levels, we have additional options to manage excess capital, and we may utilize our strong capital position to continue to return excess capital to shareholders. The relative attractiveness of our shares as compared to other capital deployment opportunities increases the hurdle rate against deploying excess capital into our business and furthers our focus on writing business that we believe will create superior returns for shareholders. Whenever possible, our preference is to deploy any excess capital into profitable business opportunities before returning excess capital to shareholders.

We believe the stresses in the global economy will continue and that this may result in increased market volatility. This was apparent in the rapid increase in interest rates during the most recent quarter which drove significant mark-to-market losses in our investment portfolio. However, as interest rates rise from historic lows, we expect to see an increase in net investment income from our investment portfolio. The effects of interest rate trends on our reinsurance and insurance business could be magnified for longer-tail business lines that are more inflation-sensitive, particularly in our Casualty and Specialty segment, and in our other property class of business within our Property segment. Notwithstanding the many uncertainties and challenges that lie ahead, we believe that our track record of responding to industry events, differentiated risk management and client service capabilities, and access to diverse sources of both capital and risk position us favorably in the current environment.

Property. We took a disciplined approach at the January 1 and April 1 property catastrophe renewals, and reduced the size of our aggregate retrocessional property catastrophe vehicle, Upsilon RFO. We continue to carefully monitor ongoing, adverse trends in the Florida market with respect to claims practices, litigation risks, and exposure growth, and are prepared to continue to reduce our exposure to risks and accounts exposed to these trends.

Casualty and Specialty. We continue to see ongoing rate increases across multiple lines of business and geographies within our Casualty and Specialty segment, and we have expanded participation on multiple casualty and specialty lines. We intentionally, but carefully, began building this segment during a more challenging phase of the market, constructing a portfolio with embedded options for growth. Over the past three years, we have accelerated this growth into an improving market. We believe that our book of business is beginning to reflect the rate improvements that we have seen over the past several years. We think that our prior work building strong relationships with key customers allowed us to gain superior access to desirable business.

See the “Risk Factors” section in our Form 10-K for additional information on factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are principally exposed to four types of market risk: interest rate risk; foreign currency risk; credit risk; and equity price risk. Our investment guidelines permit, subject to approval, investments in derivative instruments such as futures, options, foreign currency forward contracts and swap agreements, which may be used to assume risks or for hedging purposes.

There were no material changes to these market risks, as disclosed in “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. See “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of our exposure to these risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which were identified in connection with our evaluation required pursuant to Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Our share repurchase program may be effected from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. On February 4, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a renewal of our authorized share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million. Unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors, the program will expire when we have repurchased the full value of the shares authorized. The table below details the repurchases that were made under the program during the first quarter of 2022, and also includes other shares purchased, which represents common shares surrendered by employees in respect of withholding tax obligations on the vesting of restricted stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, pursuant to our publicly announced share repurchase program, we repurchased 576.7 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $93.4 million and an average price of $162.03 per common share. At March 31, 2022, $489.1 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program. In the future, we may authorize additional purchase activities under the currently authorized share repurchase program, increase the amount authorized under the share repurchase program, or adopt additional trading plans. Our decision to repurchase common shares will depend on, among other matters, the market price of the common shares and our capital requirements.
