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, operations, underwriting performance, our segments or business units, reserves, market or economic conditions, investment results, margins, fees, risk management, and the consequences of our strategic decisions. 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, plans and expectations regarding our response and ability to adapt to changing economic conditions, market standing and product volumes, estimates of net negative impact and insured losses from loss events, competition in our industry, and government initiatives and regulatory matters affecting the (re)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 performance of our investment portfolio and financial market volatility;
•the effects of inflation;
•our exposure to ceding companies and delegated authority counterparties and the risks they underwrite;
•our ability to maintain our financial strength ratings;
•our reliance on a small number of brokers;
•the highly competitive nature of our industry;
•the historically cyclical nature of the (re)insurance industries;
•collection on claimed retrocessional coverage, and new retrocessional reinsurance being available;
•our ability to attract and retain key executives and employees;
•our ability to successfully implement our business, strategies and initiatives;
•our exposure to credit loss from counterparties;
•our need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements;
•our exposure to risks associated with our management of capital on behalf of investors;
•changes to the accounting rules and regulatory systems applicable to our business, including changes in Bermuda and U.S. laws or regulations;
•the effect of current or future macroeconomic or geopolitical events or trends, including the ongoing conflicts globally;
•other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting us;
•the impact of cybersecurity risks, including technology breaches or failure;
•our ability to comply with covenants in our debt agreements;
•the effect of adverse economic factors, including changes in the prevailing interest rates;
•the effects of new or possible future tax actions or reform legislation and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate;
•our ability to determine any impairments taken on our investments;
•our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms;
•our ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws; and
5
•our dependence on capital distributions from our operating subsidiaries.
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, as well as those discussed in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026, and Item 1A of this 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.

RENAISSANCERE HOLDINGS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
(unless otherwise noted, amounts in tables expressed in thousands of United States (“U.S.”) dollars,
except shares, per share amounts and percentages) (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (“RenaissanceRe” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“Form 10-K”). RenaissanceRe was formed under the laws of Bermuda on June 7, 1993. Through its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds, the Company provides property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and certain insurance solutions to its customers.
These consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company, its subsidiaries, and all variable interest entities in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary.
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, 2025, except as described below.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 statement 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, the value of business acquired (“VOBA”) and the fair value of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions; and the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance.

Of this amount, $2.3 billion (December 31, 2025 - $2.5 billion) is on deposit with, or in trust accounts for the benefit of, U.S. state regulatory authorities.
14
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
At March 31, 2026, the Company held $58.1 million (December 31, 2025 - $59.2 million) of reverse repurchase agreements. These loans are fully collateralized, are generally outstanding for a short period of time and are presented on a gross basis as part of short term investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The required collateral for these loans typically includes high-quality, readily marketable instruments. Upon maturity, the Company receives principal and interest income.
Other Investments
The table below shows the fair value of the Company’s portfolio of other investments:

(1)In the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised the classification of its “fund investments - hedge funds” to be included within “fund investments - multi-strategy funds.”
Fund Investments
Fund investments are limited partnership or similar interests in private equity funds, private credit funds, multi-strategy funds and insurance-linked securities funds primarily managed by unrelated third parties.
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 U.S. direct lending funds, secondaries, mezzanine investments, distressed securities and senior secured bank loan funds. 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.
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.
15
Multi-Strategy Funds and Equity Funds
The Company’s investments in multi-strategy funds, which includes hedge funds, are primarily focused on diversified investment strategies across multiple asset classes. Equity funds are primarily focused on global public equities. These investments are generally redeemable at the option of the Company, at less than a month’s notice. Certain restrictions on redemptions, including initial lock-up periods or redemption gates, may also apply to the Company, as defined by each fund’s governing documents. Redemption gates allow the investment manager of a fund to defer part or all of a redemption request so as to not negatively impact the value of the redemption or the value of any interests that remain in the fund.
Insurance-Linked Securities Funds
The Company’s investments in insurance-linked securities funds primarily relate to the Company’s investment in RenaissanceRe Medici UCITS Fund (“Medici UCITS”), a sub-fund of RenaissanceRe Medici ICAV, whose primary investment objective is to invest substantially all of its assets in global insurance-linked securities, specifically catastrophe bonds. Medici UCITS was launched effective March 3, 2025, and is considered a related party. The Company has elected to account for its investment at fair value. The Company can redeem from Medici UCITS fortnightly with a minimum of four business days’ prior written notice, subject to certain redemption gates. The Company has no outstanding commitment to Medici UCITS with respect to its investment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, investors subscribed for $15.4 million of the participating shares of Medici UCITS. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, investors subscribed for $341.5 million, including $140.0 million from the Company, of which, $316.5 million represented a transfer in kind from existing investors in RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), including the Company.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net income of $2.3 million from Medici UCITS was attributable to the Company (March 31, 2025 - $1.1 million). At March 31, 2026, the total net asset value of Medici UCITS was $468.5 million, of which $156.8 million was attributable to the Company (December 31, 2025 - $449.9 million and $154.5 million), and the Company’s ownership in Medici UCITS was 33.5 % (December 31, 2025 - 34.3 %).
Limited Partnerships Entities
The Company’s fund investments are primarily variable interests in limited partnerships entities with unaffiliated fund managers in the normal course of business. The Company has also invested into some of the same limited partnerships through debt investments included within fixed maturities investments trading. The Company determined that certain of these 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 sheets and any unfunded commitment.
The following table summarizes the aggregate carrying amount of investments in unconsolidated VIEs on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, as well as the Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs:

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 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 820, Fair Value Measurement 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.
18
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, corporate, non-U.S. government, residential 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
20
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 - The Company’s U.S. treasuries fixed maturity investments were primarily priced by pricing services. 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.
Corporate
Level 2 - The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments principally consisted of U.S. and international corporations and non-U.S. government-backed corporations.
The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments, other than non-U.S. government-backed corporations, 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.
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.
Agencies
Level 2 - 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 - The Company’s non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments consisted of securities issued by 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
21
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.
Residential Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - The Company’s residential mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments include both agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. 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-based securities 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 - The Company’s commercial mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments 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 - The Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments primarily consists of collateralized loan obligations, along with asset-backed finance 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 1 - The Company’s short term investments in U.S. treasuries were primarily priced by pricing services which 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.
Level 2 - Amortized cost approximates fair value for the majority of the remainder of the Company’s short term investments portfolio and, in certain cases, fair value is determined in a manner similar to the Company’s fixed maturity investments noted above.
Equity Investments
Level 1 - The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity investments are 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.
22
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.
Direct Private Equity Investments
Level 2 - The Company’s other investments included direct private equity investments which are recorded at fair value based on quoted prices for similar assets.
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 and options 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.

Fixed Maturity Investments
Corporate
Level 3 - At March 31, 2026, the Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments included $144.7 million (December 31, 2025 - $114.3 million) of investments with the fair value obtained through the use of discounted cash flow models (December 31, 2025 - recent transaction price), due to lack of observable pricing inputs. These securities are generally rated as investment grade by various rating agencies.
Asset-backed
Level 3 - At March 31, 2026, the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments included $83.7 million (December 31, 2025 - $39.9 million) of investments with the fair value obtained through the use of discounted cash flow models and through use of recent transaction price, due to a lack of observable pricing inputs. These securities are generally rated as investment grade by various rating agencies.
Other Investments
Direct Private Equity Investments
Level 3 - At March 31, 2026, the Company’s other investments included $24.3 million (December 31, 2025 - $28.0 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, excluding mark-to-market impacts on invested assets, of the underlying entities. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these investments are liquidity discount rates applied to each of the book value multiples used in the internal valuation models, and discount rates applied to the expected cash flows of the underlying entities 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.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Assumed and Ceded (Re)insurance Contracts
Level 3 - During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts accounted for at fair value expired, and future cash flows are expected to be immaterial. At December 31, 2025, the related net liability was not material. The fair value of these contracts had been determined through the use of an internal valuation model. The most significant unobservable inputs included 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 calculate the present value of the net cash flows.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Company has elected to account for other investments and certain assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts at fair value using the guidance under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for these assets and liabilities.
The change in fair value of other investments resulted in net unrealized losses on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $82.1 million (March 31, 2025 - losses of $49.0 million).

(1)In the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised the classification of its “fund investments - hedge funds” to be included within “fund investments - multi-strategy funds.”
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 in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026 were debt obligations with a carrying value of $2.3 billion (December 31, 2025 - $2.3 billion), consisting of $2.2 billion classified as Level 2 and $99.2 million classified as Level 3 (December 31, 2025 - $2.2 billion and $99.2 million). At March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Level 2 and Level 3 debt obligations were $2.3 billion and $99.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2025 - $2.3 billion and $100.2 million).
The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 debt obligations is determined using indicative pricing obtained from independent third‑party pricing service providers. The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 debt obligations is obtained through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow model were the cash flow projection of the associated debt obligations and the discount rate, adjusted for credit risk. There were no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations during the period.
Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” for additional information related to the Company’s debt obligations.
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.
26
The following table sets forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on claims and claim expenses incurred:

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 counterparty credit 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 credit ratings and current market conditions on a periodic basis. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses from reinsurance assets.
Premiums Receivable
Premiums receivable reflects premiums written based on contract and policy terms and include estimates based on information received from both insureds and ceding companies, supplemented by the Company’s estimates of premiums that are written but not reported. Due to the nature of reinsurance, ceding companies routinely report and remit premiums 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, 2026, the Company’s premiums receivable balance was $8.1 billion (December 31, 2025 - $7.3 billion). Of the Company’s premiums receivable balance as of March 31, 2026, the majority are receivable from highly rated counterparties. The provision for current expected credit losses on the Company’s premiums receivable was $2.6 million at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $3.2 million).

Reinsurance Recoverable
Reinsurance recoverable reflects amounts due from reinsurers based on the claim liabilities associated with the reinsurance policy. The Company accrues amounts that are due from reinsurers based on estimated ultimate losses applicable to the contracts.
At March 31, 2026, the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance was $3.7 billion (December 31, 2025 - $3.9 billion). Of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2026, 44.4 % is fully collateralized by the Company’s reinsurers, 53.9 % is recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or higher by major rating agencies and 1.7 % is recoverable from reinsurers rated lower than A- by major rating agencies (December 31, 2025 - 46.9 %, 51.5 % and 1.6 %, respectively). The reinsurers with the three largest balances accounted for 13.2 %, 10.5 % and 6.5 %, respectively, of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 12.6 %, 10.1 % and 7.0 %, respectively).
The provision for current expected credit losses was $12.6 million at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $13.2 million). The three largest company-specific components of the provision for current expected credit losses represented 20.0 %, 15.9 % and 7.1 %, respectively, of the Company’s total provision for current expected credit losses at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 20.4 %, 17.2 % and 4.8 %, respectively).

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’s reserve for claims and claim expenses are a combination of case reserves, additional case reserves (“ACR”) and incurred but not reported losses and incurred but not enough reported losses (collectively referred to as “IBNR”). Case reserves are losses reported to the Company by insureds and ceding companies, but which have not yet been paid. If deemed necessary and in certain situations, either the Company establishes, or the Company’s clients report, ACR. Client reported ACR represents the client’s estimate of additional contract specific claims in excess of the case reserves they have reported to the Company. ACR established by the Company represents the Company’s estimates for claims related to specific contracts which the Company believes may not be adequately estimated by the client as of that date or is not within the IBNR. The Company establishes IBNR using actuarial techniques and expert judgment to represent the anticipated cost of claims which have not been reported to the Company yet, or where the Company anticipates increased reporting. The Company’s reserving committee, which includes
28
members of the Company’s senior management, reviews, discusses, and assesses the reasonableness and adequacy of the reserving estimates included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes the Company’s reserve for claims and claim expenses by segment, allocated between case reserves, ACR and IBNR:

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.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – DaVinci
DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinci”) is a managed joint venture formed by RenaissanceRe principally to write property catastrophe reinsurance and certain casualty and specialty reinsurance lines of business on a global basis through its wholly-owned subsidiary, DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. (“DaVinci Reinsurance”). DaVinci is considered a VIE as the voting rights of its equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb losses and rights to receive residual returns. The Company is the primary beneficiary of DaVinci, as it has the power to direct the activities of DaVinci that most significantly impact its economic performance, and has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to DaVinci. Accordingly, the Company consolidates DaVinci and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The portion of DaVinci’s earnings owned by third parties is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
DaVinci shareholders are party to a shareholders’ agreement which provides DaVinci shareholders, excluding RenaissanceRe, with certain redemption rights that enable each shareholder to notify DaVinci of such shareholder’s desire for DaVinci 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 DaVinci’s capital in any given year and satisfying all applicable regulatory requirements. If total shareholder requests exceed 25 % of DaVinci’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 DaVinci 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 loss reserves. Similarly, when shares are issued by DaVinci and sold to DaVinci shareholders, the sale price is based on GAAP book value and can be subject to a true-up for potential development on loss reserves. The Company has not provided any financial or other support to DaVinci that it was not contractually required to provide.

NOTE 9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Managed Joint Ventures and Managed Funds
The Company has interests in various managed joint ventures and managed funds that are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates the results of DaVinci, Medici, Vermeer and Fontana, as the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of each of those entities. Refer to “Note 8. Noncontrolling Interests” for additional information on those entities. The Company also consolidates Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III, which are segregated accounts of Upsilon RFO Re Ltd. (“Upsilon RFO”), as the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, as detailed below. The assets of DaVinci, Medici, Vermeer, Fontana and Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III can only be used to settle their respective obligations. The liabilities of each of those entities are non‑recourse to the Company, and creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.
The Company’s consolidated VIEs affect its cash flows primarily through underwriting results, investment-related activities, fee income and capital transactions relating to its redeemable noncontrolling interests. The assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of these VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however, a significant portion of the cash flows generated by the VIEs are attributable to third‑party investors and recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interests. As a result, the Company’s consolidated cash flows reflect the gross cash flows of the VIEs rather than the net cash flows economically retained by the Company.

Upsilon RFO
Upsilon RFO is an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda. It is registered as a segregated accounts company and as a collateralized insurer, Upsilon RFO currently has four segregated accounts (Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II, III and IV). RenaissanceRe indirectly owns a portion of the participating non-voting preference shares of three of the existing segregated accounts of Upsilon RFO (Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III) and all of Upsilon RFO’s voting Class A shares. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholders) participate in all of the profits or losses of Upsilon RFO while their shares remain outstanding. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholders) indemnify Upsilon RFO against losses relating to insurance risk, and therefore these shares have been accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic 944, 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 Diversified I, II and III as it has the power to direct the activities of those segregated accounts that most significantly impact their economic performance, and has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to those segregated accounts. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The Company is not the primary beneficiary of Upsilon RFO Diversified IV, as it does not have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to that segregated account. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Upsilon RFO Diversified IV. The Company does not have, and does not expect to have, a material investment in Upsilon RFO Diversified IV. In addition, the Company expects its absolute and relative ownership in Upsilon RFO Diversified IV to remain minimal.
Other than its equity investments in Upsilon RFO, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Upsilon RFO that it was not contractually required to provide.
2026
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and following the release of collateral that was previously held by cedants associated with prior underwriting years’ contracts, Upsilon RFO returned $3.0 million of capital to investors of Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III, including $0.3 million to the Company and returned $6.9 million to investors of Upsilon RFO Diversified IV.
At March 31, 2026, Upsilon RFO’s balance sheet included total assets and total liabilities of Diversified I, II and III of $602.5 million and $601.6 million, respectively (December 31, 2025 - $653.0 million and $652.1 million, respectively). The total assets included $517.6 million of investments and $84.9 million of all other aggregated assets (December 31, 2025 - $526.8 million and $126.2 million, respectively). The total liabilities included $273.5 million of reserve for claims and claim expenses and $328.1 million of all other aggregated liabilities (December 31, 2025 - $305.8 million and $346.3 million, respectively). Of the total assets and liabilities of Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III, a net amount of $34.1 million (December 31, 2025 - $32.7 million) is attributable to the Company, and $282.2 million (December 31, 2025 - $264.8 million) is attributable to third-party investors. Of the total assets and liabilities of Upsilon RFO Diversified IV, a net amount of $99.1 million (December 31, 2025 - $101.8 million) is attributable to third-party investors. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s participation in the risks assumed by Upsilon RFO Diversified I, II and III was 12.9 % (December 31, 2025 - 12.7 %).
2025

Mona Lisa Re Ltd.
Mona Lisa Re Ltd. (“Mona Lisa Re”), a Bermuda domiciled special purpose insurer (“SPI”), 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 certain subsidiaries of RenaissanceRe 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.
Mona Lisa Re is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of Mona Lisa Re as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Mona Lisa Re that most significantly impact its economic performance. Accordingly, 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 certain subsidiaries of RenaissanceRe, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic 944, 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 Company recognized ceded premiums written related to the ceded reinsurance contracts with Mona Lisa Re of $68.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $55.7 million). In addition, the Company recognized ceded premiums earned related to the ceded reinsurance contracts with Mona Lisa Re of $20.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $21.9 million).
At March 31, 2026, the total assets and total liabilities of Mona Lisa Re were $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively (December 31, 2025 - $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively).
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 $3.5 million at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $3.4 million).

The AlphaCat Funds are invested in various risk-linked instruments through variable funding notes issued by AlphaCat Reinsurance Ltd. (“AlphaCat Re”), AlphaCat Master Fund Ltd. and OmegaCat Reinsurance Ltd. (“OmegaCat Re”), which give investors access to a range of property catastrophe risks. Prior to the Validus Acquisition, substantially all of the AlphaCat Funds had received full redemption requests from their investors and capital was being released accordingly, subject to certain constraints. The Company expects to run off the business over a period of time.
40
The AlphaCat Funds, AlphaCat Re and OmegaCat Re are considered VIEs as the voting rights of their equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb losses and rights to receive residual returns. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the AlphaCat Funds, AlphaCat Re and OmegaCat Re as it does not have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the AlphaCat Funds, AlphaCat Re and OmegaCat Re.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company may enter into derivative instruments to manage its foreign currency exposure, obtain exposure to a particular financial market, or for trading and to assume or hedge risk. The Company’s derivative instruments are primarily exchange traded futures, centrally cleared credit default swaps or over-the-counter foreign currency forward contracts. The over-the-counter derivatives are 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, 2026.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company uses interest rate futures 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. The Company’s exposure is primarily in U.S. treasury and non-U.S. government bond futures contracts.
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.
48
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-Investment 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 and non-investment operations. The Company may determine not to match a portion of its projected underwriting and non-investments 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 and non-investment operations related foreign currency contracts is determined using indicative pricing obtained from counterparties or broker quotes.
Investment Operations 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.
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.
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.
49
Commodity Derivatives
The Company uses commodity derivatives within its investments portfolio to assume or hedge risk. Commodity derivatives expose the Company to potentially unfavorable price changes to the underlying commodities.
Commodity Futures
The fair value of the Company’s commodity futures is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. The Company’s exposure is primarily in gold futures contracts.
Commodity Options
The fair value of these derivatives is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
Foreign Currency Derivatives
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
One of the Company’s subsidiaries currently uses a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign exchange forwards to hedge non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, on an after-tax basis, from changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, this included the Australian dollar net investment in a foreign operation. These foreign exchange forward contracts were formally designated as hedges of its investment in subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies and there was no ineffectiveness in these transactions. The weighted average U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign denominated net assets (liabilities) that were hedged during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $60.7 million (March 31, 2025 - $58.9 million).
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, 2025.
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
Subsequent to March 31, 2026 and through the period ended April 24, 2026, the Company repurchased 340.5 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $104.8 million and an average price of $307.89 per common share.

INDEX TO MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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, and headquartered in Bermuda, we have offices across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Our mission is to match desirable risk with efficient capital, and our vision is to be the best underwriter. We believe that this will allow us to produce superior returns for our shareholders over the long term, and enable our purpose to protect communities and enable prosperity. We seek to accomplish these goals by delivering a value proposition composed of leadership, expertise and partnership, through our operation as an integrated system of three competitive advantages: superior risk selection, superior customer relationships and superior capital management.
Our current business strategy focuses predominantly on writing reinsurance. We apply our reinsurance lens of approaching risks as a portfolio to the insurance business that we write, primarily though delegated authority arrangements. Through our Capital Partners unit we create and manage innovative joint ventures and managed funds, which provide access to the portfolios our underwriters build. Additionally, we pursue several other opportunities, such as executing customized reinsurance transactions to assume or cede risk, and managing certain strategic investments. We continually explore appropriate and efficient ways to address the risk management needs of our clients and the impact of various regulatory and legislative changes on our operations. From time to time, we consider diversification into new opportunities, either through organic growth, the formation of new joint ventures or managed funds, or the acquisition of, or investment in, other companies or books of business of other companies.
Our business consists of the following reportable segments: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property (re)insurance, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of general casualty, professional liability, credit and other specialty (re)insurance. The underwriting results of our consolidated operating subsidiaries and underwriting platforms are included in our Property and Casualty and Specialty segment results as appropriate.
We have three principal drivers of profit that generate diversified earnings streams for our business: underwriting income, fee income, and investment income. Underwriting income is the income that we earn from our core underwriting business. By matching desirable risk with efficient capital and accepting the volatility that this business brings, we believe that we can generate superior returns over the long-term. Fee income is the income that we earn primarily from managing third-party capital in our Capital Partners unit and is composed of management fee income and performance fee income. Investment income is income derived from the investment portfolio that we maintain to support our business. We take a disciplined approach in building a relatively conservative, well-structured investment portfolio, with a focus on fixed income investments. Compared to underwriting income, we view fee income, especially management fee income, and investment income, as being relatively less volatile and as diversifying sources of income.
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.
Revenues and Expenses
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, which are primarily reflected in redeemable noncontrolling interest or as an offset to acquisition or operational expenses.
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) operational expenses, which primarily consist of personnel expenses, rent and other 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
54
associated with operating as a publicly traded company; (5) interest and dividends related to our debt, preference shares and common shares; and (6) income taxes.
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.
Impact of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in our Results
We manage several entities - DaVinci, Fontana, Medici, and Vermeer - where we control the decision making authority through ownership of the voting interests but do not own all of the economic interest. As a result of our control, we include the full financial results of these entities in our consolidated financial statements. However, since we do not own all of the economic interest in these entities, we do not ultimately retain all of the economic outcomes they generate. Rather, portions of these entities’ economic outcomes are due to third-party investors who hold noncontrolling interests in these entities and are ultimately allocated to such third-party investors.
These entities’ economic outcomes may include underwriting results, investment results, and foreign exchange impacts, among other items. For example, if one of these entities realizes a financial gain or loss from its underwriting or investment activities, the full amount of such gain or loss is shown in net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of operations. But only the portion of such gain or loss that represents our investment in such entity is reflected in net income (loss) attributable to RenaissanceRe. The remainder, which is ultimately allocated to such third-party investors in those entities, is shown separately in net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Refer to “Note 8. Noncontrolling Interests” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our redeemable noncontrolling interests and how this accounting treatment impacts our financial results.
Effects of Inflation
General economic inflation has increased over the past few years compared to recent historical norms, and there is a risk of inflation remaining elevated for an extended period, which could cause claims and claims related expenses to increase, impact the performance of our investment portfolio, or have other adverse effects. This risk may be exacerbated by geopolitical factors and global supply chain issues or tariffs, among other factors, from time to time. Central bank policy and changes to interest rates may also increase the risk of inflationary pressures. 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 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.

Our critical accounting estimates include “Claims and Claim Expense Reserves,” “Premiums and Related Expenses,” “Reinsurance Recoverables,” “Fair Value Measurements and Impairments” and “Income Taxes,” and are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Results of Operations Overview
Net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $284.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $161.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $123.4 million. As a result, in the first quarter of 2026, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of 10.5%, and our book value per common share increased from $247.00 at December 31, 2025 to $250.48 at March 31, 2026, a 1.4% increase, or a 1.6% increase after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.
Significant items affecting our financial performance during the first quarter of 2026 included:
•Underwriting Results
–underwriting income of $588.8 million, an increase of $1.4 billion, resulting in an improvement of 55.3 percentage points in the combined ratio, driven primarily by:
–a lower level of catastrophe losses in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025.
–gross premiums written and net premiums written decreased by $676.6 million and $765.2 million, respectively.
•Investment Results
–total investment result decreased by $737.0 million, primarily driven by:
–an increase of $754.9 million in net realized and unrealized losses on investments principally resulting from net losses on our fixed maturity-related and equity-related investments.
–net investment income of $420.5 million included $116.4 million attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which was allocated to third-party investors and not retained by us.
•Fee Income
–income of $94.1 million, an increase of $63.7 million.
–included $72.2 million of fee income recorded in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which is not included in our underwriting income (loss).
•Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
–income of $222.5 million, an increase of $417.7 million, primarily resulting from an increase in underwriting income due to a lower impact of large loss events in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025.
–this represents the portion of our net income (loss) that was allocated to third-party investors and not retained by us.
•Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
–expense of $33.0 million, compared to a benefit of $45.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong operating profits, partially offset by mark-to-market losses.

–a decrease in gross reinstatement premiums of $344.2 million, from $338.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, to negative $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, primarily related to the California Wildfires in the first quarter of 2025;
–otherwise, not including reinstatement premiums, gross premiums written in the catastrophe class decreased by $42.8 million, or 3.2%, reflecting rate reductions across the portfolio, which were largely offset by other opportunities for growth.
•Gross premiums written in the other property class decreased by $36.4 million, or 7.8%, primarily due to rate decreases in catastrophe-exposed business.

Due to the potential volatility of the reinsurance contracts which we sell, we purchase reinsurance to reduce our exposure to large losses and to help manage our risk portfolio. To the extent that appropriately priced coverage is available, we anticipate continued use of retrocessional reinsurance to reduce the impact of large losses on our financial results and to manage our portfolio of risk; however, the buying of ceded reinsurance in our Property segment is based on market opportunities and is not based on placing a specific reinsurance program each year.

•Ceded premiums written increased by $12.4 million, or 2.8%, driven by:
–an increase in ceded spend and timing of renewals as part of our gross-to-net strategy, partially offset by
–a decrease in ceded reinstatement premiums of $7.5 million.
Property Net Premiums Earned
•Net premiums earned decreased by $347.2 million, or 27.8%, primarily driven by:
–the decrease in net reinstatement premiums, primarily in the catastrophe class.
Property Underwriting Results
•Net claims and claim expense ratio improved by 120.8 percentage points, driven by:
–a 117.9 percentage point improvement in the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio, primarily due to:
–lower catastrophe losses in the quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2025, which included 117.2 percentage points from the California Wildfires.
–net favorable development of 17.9% in the prior accident years net claims and claim expense ratio, driven by:
–net favorable development of $62.6 million in the catastrophe class, primarily from the large loss events in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and small events across accident years; and
–net favorable development of $98.1 million in the other property class, primarily due to reported losses coming in lower than expected from large loss events in 2024, and attritional loss experience.
•Underwriting expense ratio increased by 6.2 percentage points, primarily driven by:
–a 4.0 percentage point increase in the acquisition expense ratio and a 2.2 percentage point increase in the operating expense ratio, both primarily due to the decrease in net premiums earned resulting from the decrease in net reinstatement premiums in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025; partially offset by
–a benefit to the underwriting expense ratio from the Bermuda tax credits.
•Combined ratio improved by 114.6 percentage points from the first quarter of 2025, which included a 113.5 percentage point impact from the California Wildfires.
See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the prior year development of net claims and claim expenses.

Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results
•Net claims and claim expense ratio improved by 6.0 percentage points, driven by:
–a 6.5 percentage point improvement in the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio, principally due to a lower impact of large loss events within the other specialty class; partially offset by
–a decrease in net favorable development from prior accident years of 0.5 percentage points. The prior accident years net claims and claim expense ratio of 0.1 percentage points included an adverse impact of 0.4 percentage points from purchase accounting adjustments.
•Underwriting expense ratio improved by 4.7 percentage points, driven by:
–a 4.0 percentage point decrease in the acquisition expense ratio, principally due to changes in variable commissions and a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments; and
–a 0.7 percentage point decrease in the operating expense ratio, primarily due to the Bermuda tax credits.
See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the prior year development of net claims and claim expenses.
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, which represents the majority of our Casualty and Specialty segment business, typically has a higher expense ratio and tends to be exposed to more attritional and frequent losses, while being subject to lower expected severity compared to traditional excess of loss business.
Fee Income
The table below shows the total fee income we earned from third-party capital management activities, including various joint ventures and managed funds, and certain structured reinsurance products.
Management fees are fees that we receive for the day-to-day management and oversight of our joint venture vehicles, managed funds and certain structured reinsurance products. Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products and may be zero or negative in a particular period. For example, large losses could potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees.

•Total fee income increased by $63.7 million, due to:
–an increase in performance fees of $61.8 million as a result of:
–improved current year underwriting results in DaVinci and our structured reinsurance products, principally due to the lower impact of large loss events in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025;
–the recognition of deferred performance fees related to a return of capital in DaVinci; and

(5)In the fourth quarter of 2025, we revised the description of our “other investments - other” to “other investments - fund and direct private equity investments.”
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. As part of this strategy, we may use investment-related derivatives to obtain exposure to a particular financial market or to hedge portfolio risk. 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. 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 of $421.9 million were driven by:
–$267.9 million of net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity-related investments, primarily due to increases in market yields in the first quarter of 2026;
–$147.4 million of net realized and unrealized losses on equity-related investments, primarily due to broader equity market declines; and

–$65.3 million of net realized and unrealized gains on commodity-related investments, principally due to realized gains on the sale of a portion of the Company’s gold futures.
•Net realized and unrealized losses on investments increased by $754.9 million, mainly driven by:
–an increase in net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity-related investments of $580.8 million, primarily due to:
–increases in market yields in the first quarter of 2026, compared to decreases in market yields in the first quarter of 2025;
–an increase in net realized and unrealized losses on equity-related investments of $97.8 million, primarily due to:
–increased exposure to equity investments and equity-futures, coupled with unfavorable price movements in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025;
–an increase in net unrealized losses on fund and direct private equity investments of $52.5 million, driven by:
–a decrease in the value of certain of the investments in the Company’s strategic investments portfolio; and
–a decrease in net realized and unrealized gains on commodity-related investments of $52.3 million, principally due to:
–lower gold futures price increases in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

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, 2026. 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, 2025.
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, or investments in, new or existing companies or books of business of other companies, such as the Validus Acquisition, and (6) certain corporate and operational 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 RenaissanceRe 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. In 2024 and 2025, we received significant distributions of capital from many of our principal operating subsidiaries, including Renaissance Reinsurance and RREAG, from earnings in the ordinary course and in connection with the integration of Validus and streamlining of our corporate structure.
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 subsidiaries, joint ventures or managed funds. For example, in 2024, 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 or assets to these entities, such as in connection with the launch of Medici UCITS in 2025. Examples of our contractual requirements to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries or joint ventures or managed funds include our net worth maintenance agreements with certain operating subsidiaries, and Renaissance Reinsurance’s obligation to make a mandatory capital contribution of up to $50.0 million in the event that a loss reduces Top Layer’s capital below a specified level.
67
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 operational 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 operational expenses are generally paid within a year of being incurred. It generally takes much longer for net claims and claim expenses incurred to be reported and ultimately settled, requiring the establishment of reserves for claims and claim expenses and reinsurance recoverable. Therefore, the amount of net claims paid in any one year is not necessarily related to the amount of net claims and claim expenses incurred in that year, as reported in the consolidated statements of operations.
We expect that our liquidity needs for the next 12 months will be met by our cash receipts from operations. However, as a result of a combination of market conditions, turnover of our investment portfolios and changes in 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. From time to time, we raise capital through public offerings pursuant to our registration statements. For example, in February 2025, we completed an offering of $500.0 million of 5.800% Senior Notes due April 2035 for net proceeds of $493.5 million.
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 (such as through a multi-beneficiary reinsurance trust). However, certain of our subsidiaries qualify as certified reinsurers or reciprocal reinsurers in one or more U.S. states, which has, and may continue to, reduce the amount of collateral that we are required to post. 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.

Funds at Lloyd’s
As a member of Lloyd’s, the underwriting capacity, or stamp capacity, of Syndicate 1458 is required to be supported by providing a deposit, the FAL, in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit. At March 31, 2026, the FAL required to support the underwriting activities at Lloyd’s through Syndicate 1458 was £522.9 million (December 31, 2025 - £577.8 million). Actual FAL posted for Syndicate 1458 at March 31, 2026 by RenaissanceRe Corporate Capital (UK) Limited was $800.5 million (December 31, 2025 - $912.0 million), supported by a deposit of cash and fixed maturity securities.
Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts, Multi-Beneficiary Reduced Collateral Reinsurance Trusts
Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Reinsurance and RREAG use multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and/or multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts to collateralize reinsurance liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, all of these trusts were funded in accordance with the relevant regulatory thresholds. However, assets held in these trusts have in the past, and may in the future, exceed the amount required under U.S. state regulations.

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.

(1)RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in its joint venture Fontana. Because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of Fontana’s issued voting shares, the consolidated financial statements of Fontana are included in the consolidated financial statements of RenaissanceRe. RenaissanceRe has not provided any financial or other support to Fontana that it was not contractually required to provide. RenaissanceRe’s financial exposure to Fontana is limited to its investment in Fontana’s shares and counterparty credit risk arising from reinsurance transactions.
(2)RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in its joint venture DaVinci. Because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinci’s issued voting shares, the consolidated financial statements of DaVinci are included in the consolidated financial statements of RenaissanceRe. However, RenaissanceRe does not guarantee or provide credit support for DaVinci and RenaissanceRe’s financial exposure to DaVinci is limited to its investment in DaVinci’s shares and counterparty credit risk arising from reinsurance transactions.

Our total shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe decreased by $94.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 principally as a result of:
•repurchase of common shares at an aggregate cost of $352.5 million; and
•dividends on our common and preference shares of $17.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively; partially offset by
•our comprehensive income attributable to RenaissanceRe of $293.9 million.

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 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” included herein and “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, 2025 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.

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, 2025 for more information on the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, our actual results 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. Refer to “Note 3. Investments” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our investments and the related fair value measurement.
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 and exchange‑traded funds, which are reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as equity investments, and an allocation to other investments (including catastrophe bonds, fund investments and direct private equity investments).

Fixed Maturity Investments and Short Term Investments
At March 31, 2026, our fixed maturity investments and short term investment portfolio had a weighted average credit quality rating of AA (December 31, 2025 - AA) and a weighted average effective yield of 4.5% (December 31, 2025 - 4.2%). At March 31, 2026, our non-investment grade and not-rated fixed maturity investments totaled $1.1 billion or 4.3% of our fixed maturity investments (December 31, 2025 - $1.2 billion or 5.0%, respectively). In addition, within our other investments category we have funds that invest in non-investment grade and not-rated fixed income securities and non-investment grade cat-linked securities. At March 31, 2026, the funds that invest in non-investment grade and not-rated fixed income securities and non-investment grade cat-linked securities totaled $3.2 billion (December 31, 2025 - $3.2 billion).
At March 31, 2026, we had $3.9 billion of short term investments (December 31, 2025 - $4.8 billion). Short term investments are managed as part of our investment portfolio and have a maturity of one year or less when purchased. Short term investments are carried at fair value.
The duration of our fixed maturity investments and short term investments at March 31, 2026 was 3.2 years (December 31, 2025 - 2.8 years). From time to time, we may reevaluate the duration of our portfolio in light of the duration of our liabilities and market conditions.
The value of our fixed maturity investments will fluctuate with changes in the interest rate environment and when changes occur in economic conditions or the investment markets. Additionally, our differing asset classes expose us to other risks which could cause a reduction in the value of our investments.

Our equity investments include fixed income exchange traded funds, equity exchange traded funds and common stocks. Our fixed income exchange traded funds invest in a combination of treasuries, corporate bonds or asset-backed and mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments. The value of our fixed income exchange traded funds will fluctuate with changes in the interest rate environment, credit risk and when changes occur in economic conditions or the investment markets. Equity exchange traded funds are primarily focused on public equities.
Common stocks are managed pursuant to diversified public equity securities mandates with third-party investment managers and also includes more concentrated public equity positions that we invest in through our strategic investment portfolio. These investments are subject to a variety of risks including: company performance, the availability of strategic investment opportunities, and macro-economic, industry, and systemic risks of the equity markets overall. Consequently, the carrying value of our investment portfolio will vary over time as the value or size of our portfolio of investments in equity securities fluctuates. It is possible we will increase our equity allocation in the future, and it could, from time to time, have a material effect on our financial results.

Ratings
Financial strength ratings are important to the competitive position of reinsurance and insurance companies. We have received high financial strength ratings from A.M. Best, S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. 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. Certain of our entities and the senior notes and preference shares issued by them also have credit ratings. 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 capital models and rating methodologies, which could have a material impact on our ratings and business.
In addition, A.M. Best assesses and scores 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,” which is the highest ERM score assigned.

CURRENT OUTLOOK
RenaissanceRe has grown into a company that is significantly diversified – geographically, by line of business, and by source of income and capital. 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. Our three drivers of profit put us in a differentiated position to absorb losses while still providing efficient capacity to our customers and producing strong returns for our shareholders. In a quarter with both geopolitical and economic volatility, our diversified earnings model continued to produce superior returns for shareholders.
We believe that we are in a strong capital position, driven by our earnings strength and consistency, which provides us with the flexibility and opportunity to deploy capital into the business while actively repurchasing shares when at attractive valuations. When possible, our preference is to deploy any excess capital into profitable business opportunities before returning excess capital to shareholders. Over the past several quarters, we have returned significant capital through share repurchases at what we believe to be attractive valuations.
In 2026, we intend to continue to take a disciplined approach to our underwriting portfolio while also continuing to execute our gross-to-net strategy. We believe that our underwriting portfolio is performing well and our earnings model continues to benefit from multiple, diversified sources of income. In addition, we are continuing to enhance our technology infrastructure and underwriting systems to enable us to better take advantage of future opportunities, including potential applications of artificial intelligence, as they arise.
Reinsurance Market Trends and Developments
We believe we 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. We are in a period of heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility, and we believe that it is in times of uncertainty when RenaissanceRe’s expertise, partnership-approach and coordination across teams differentiates us as a reinsurance leader.
We are uniquely positioned to write a variety of risks, leveraging our enhanced risk and capital management technology and underwriting expertise to cover multiple 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. We believe that our RenaissanceRe Risk Sciences team gives us an advantage in properly reflecting the evolving phenomenon of climate change in our models compared to commercially available models.
Since the step change in reinsurance pricing in 2023, we believe that the market has appropriately balanced risk between insurers and reinsurers. That said, in the current market, not all risks are equally attractive, and returns can vary significantly between classes of business and deals within each class. This provides attractive opportunities for underwriters with strong access to risk. Our success is predicated on the application of our deep underwriting expertise to differentiate the best deals, and our strong customer value proposition to maintain our position as a consistent incumbent.
At the January 1, 2026 renewals, we believe that we delivered our market-leading value proposition to clients and brokers and constructed an optimal underwriting portfolio to support our three drivers of profit and generate strong returns over the course of the cycle. Recent favorable reinsurance market results have increased competition and supply of reinsurance capacity, which has put some pressure on rates and margins. Looking ahead to the mid-year renewals, we expect a continuation of similar themes from the January 1 renewals, with increased demand in certain markets. We believe that we did an excellent job of positioning ourselves in a more competitive environment. We remain confident in rate adequacy across our underwriting portfolio and in our belief that, relative to dynamics over the past 15 years, the market remains favorable.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Environment
We think that the stresses in the global economy will continue, and could grow, and that this may result in increased market volatility. Global events and geopolitical instability have contributed to increased economic inflation over the past few years compared to recent historical norms. We consider the anticipated effects of
79
inflation, including social, economic, and event-driven effects, in our loss models, on our investment portfolio, and generally in the running of our business, and actively monitor trends in these areas. To the extent that tariffs or inflation exacerbate demand surge, we believe we have the tools to appropriately price for that scenario. While the war in the Middle East is ongoing, we currently anticipate that we have limited exposure.
Central bank policy and changes to interest rates may also increase the risk of inflationary pressure. 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.
As a reinsurer, we are paid to assume volatility, and are intentionally designed to withstand it. The largest risks that we protect against, such as hurricanes, wildfires and earthquakes, do not correlate to financial cycles and need to be protected against in good or bad economic times. Due to these factors, we believe that our Company is generally “anti-correlated” to the current macroeconomic environment. 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, coupled with access to diverse sources of both capital and risk continue to position us favorably in the current environment.
Three Drivers of Profit
We believe that having three distinct sources of income allows us to maintain profitability throughout a wide range of market outcomes and makes us more resilient to catastrophe activity. In a quarter with both geopolitical and economic volatility, our diversified earnings model continued to produce superior returns for shareholders. This reflects the strength and resilience of our business and demonstrates our strategy of making earnings less dependent on any single market condition or source of volatility.
Ultimately, strong underwriting underpins our three drivers of profit, because each driver is fueled by our underwriting portfolio. Typically, our Property segment contributes primarily to underwriting and fee income, and our Casualty and Specialty segment to investment and fee income. This construction is by design, and we believe that it is the optimal way to generate returns in the current market. Underwriting is the core of our business and provides significant upside to the earnings base from fees and investments.
Underwriting Income
Through disciplined underwriting, we aim to manage the cycle and allocate our capital to the business that will generate the best returns. Portfolio construction is a continuous process, and we believe that we have constructed a large and profitable underwriting portfolio that has been bolstered by our ability to participate broadly across our clients’ portfolios. We aim to be a provider of first choice and a trusted partner to our customers to help them manage their risk across portfolios and market cycles.
Each of our reportable segments has a different risk and volatility profile, which we believe contributes in distinct and important ways to our three drivers of profit, and in particular our underwriting income. The Property segment is inherently more volatile, but also provides meaningful underwriting income in lower catastrophe quarters as well as strong fee income from third-party capital. The Casualty and Specialty segment generally provides a more stable underwriting result over-time, along with significant investment income stemming from capital invested on longer tail risk in certain lines of business. These segments also provide us with diversification across our loss reserves and the tail of our risks, which allows us to better manage changes in loss trends, whether favorable or adverse, across our underwriting portfolio.
We believe that our larger size and greater diversification has allowed us to deliver strong financial results even as the underwriting market is facing headwinds, including the impact of large loss events, lower interest rates and rate changes in some classes. We have created a large, well-diversified combined portfolio with deep partnerships with brokers and clients. We continue to remain focused on capturing attractive opportunities as they arise, while exercising discipline to effectively shape our portfolio to maintain desired lines.
Moving forward in 2026, we intend to continue to prioritize margin over growth. We prefer top-line growth when it makes sense, but reinsurance is a risk business where it is more important to know when and where to grow the business to be able to deliver results for our shareholders over the long term. This reflects disciplined risk selection and cycle management.
80
Property
With the global impact of climate-related risks, including climate change, we expect the frequency and severity of perils such as drought, flood, rain, hail and wildfire to continue at the elevated levels we have seen in recent years. We believe that the increase in severe weather, coupled with currently projected demographic trends in catastrophe-exposed regions, contributes to factors that will increase the average economic value of expected losses, increase the number of people exposed per year to natural disasters and, in general, exacerbate disaster risk. The impact from these factors was apparent in the California Wildfires last year. However, we think that the underwriting changes that we have made, including requiring higher rates and attachment points, has optimized the portfolio and positioned us so that this catastrophe activity will have a smaller impact on our financial results than it otherwise may have.
At the January 1, 2026 renewals, our aim was to maintain our existing portfolio and selectively deploy capacity in property catastrophe, and to optimize other property to reduce peak exposure and maintain attractive margin. Following several years of favorable reinsurance market results, reinsurance supply has increased, which put downward pressure on rates. Terms and conditions remained largely stable and attractive. We believe that our team did an excellent job of positioning our portfolio into a more competitive environment and demonstrated the strength of our franchise. Specifically, we grew limit by focusing on areas with the highest rate adequacy. We are making good progress on the mid-year renewals.
In property catastrophe, we successfully retained and wrote desired lines. This is generally our business with the highest expected margin, and we successfully found opportunities to deploy capital to grow selectively, which helped offset the impact of downward rate pressure. In other property, we continued to shape the book to reduce peak exposure while preserving attractive margins. Our gross-to-net strategy is another differentiator which we believe will support sustained attractive returns. We generally retain approximately half of our assumed property catastrophe premiums while sharing a portion with our third-party capital partner balance sheets, and earning fee income in exchange. Fee income is less sensitive to rate movements, and reduces the overall volatility of our returns.
Casualty and Specialty
Part of fulfilling our vision of being the best underwriter is knowing when to grow our portfolio and when to exercise discipline. Each line of business in the Casualty and Specialty segment is at a different point in the cycle and we continually manage our participation to achieve the best portfolio mix and balance of risk and reward. Our prior work building strong relationships with key customers has allowed us to gain superior access to desirable business. We have focused our growth in attractive areas while reducing on deals that do not meet our return hurdles.
The Casualty and Specialty segment is strategically important to our vision of being the best underwriter as it allows us to trade with clients across classes and access the most attractive lines across property, casualty and specialty while also generating substantial float in an attractive interest rate environment. While improved underwriting margins may take time to emerge, we continue to benefit from the investment income generated by this business. Longer-duration casualty reserves give us the flexibility to allocate investments to higher-earning assets, so even in a period where margins remain tight, the business continues to support book value growth and shareholder returns.
Across our Casualty and Specialty segment, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, movements up or down across different lines of business over time. This is the nature of the business and part of managing a diversified underwriting book. We have continued to shape our casualty portfolio, reducing our exposure in select lines, such as in general casualty and certain specialty lines of business where rates have been under more pressure. We did this in a way that was sensitive to the needs of our customers, while maintaining strategic flexibility. Our portfolio management and robust reserving process has provided us with overall stability in the Casualty and Specialty segment, allowing the segment to remain a substantial contributor to our financial results, primarily through the investment income that we generate from the segment’s reserves. This diversification has also been beneficial when certain classes of business or underwriting years have experienced increasing loss trends and required more reserves. We believe that we have a prudent reserving process for our Casualty and Specialty segment and remain confident in our reserves.
81
We typically manage our casualty business over a 10-year cycle. Over this cycle, we expect there to be shifts between the generation of underwriting and investments results in this business – currently, the balance is skewed toward investment returns. This 10-year cycle is also the perspective from which we manage our exposure. We have been closely monitoring casualty loss trends, and our longstanding approach is to recognize increasing trends early. We are reflecting our insights in our reserving process to proactively stay ahead of trend and inform portfolio shaping decisions. In our general casualty class specifically, we have been closely monitoring trends in general liability where inflation and claims severity have been increasing. While rates in general liability have increased and we believe this remains ahead of trend, we intend to continue to take a conservative approach and have reduced our general liability exposure. We have worked closely with our clients with a partnership lens, and have observed meaningful progress in their efforts to address social inflation trends, aiding us in structuring our lines to create the optimal portfolio for the next cycle.
At the January 1, 2026 renewals, we maintained our strong leadership across specialty, increased our market share in credit, and continued to manage our exposure to areas most at risk of continued loss inflation in casualty. We continue to optimize our Casualty and Specialty business through portfolio mix, risk selection, and use of ceded reinsurance. Current market conditions have been a continuation of what we experienced at the January 1, 2026 renewals, with rate increases in the general liability market to keep pace with loss trend and increased competition in certain specialty and credit lines in response to recent profitability.
Fee Income
We take a differentiated approach to our Capital Partners unit, with a focus on first sourcing the risks that we intend to write, and then matching them with the appropriate third-party capital. This business allows us to leverage our industry-leading underwriting franchise, improves our offerings to customers, enhances our ability to optimize our portfolios, and generates attractive fees for doing so. This complements the income we earn on our own balance sheets, creating additional value from our underwriting business and providing a solid foundation of earnings. Over the past several years, this has been a growing, strong and consistent contributor to our financial results.
We earn fee income in exchange for sharing risk with our third-party capital partners, and while we share underwriting income during profitable periods, we also share underwriting losses. We view fee income as a growing and sustainable driver of profit that we expect will continue to generate low-volatility management fee income. However, fees may be impacted by large losses, such as those experienced during the first quarter of 2025, which can potentially result in reduced management fees, no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees. The fee income that we earn is recorded across various line items in our financial statements, refer to “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information on its impact, including for the proportion that is not included in underwriting income (loss).
Investment Income
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. Our investment portfolio is intended to complement our underwriting portfolio, and as we have grown and diversified our underwriting business, we have also grown our investment portfolio and have greater flexibility around duration and asset mix to further shape our portfolio. Generally, we view investment income as being relatively less volatile and a diversifying source of income, and as we have increased the contribution of investment income through the increase in the size of our investment portfolio and an evolution in asset mix, it helps to reduce the overall volatility of our operating earnings.
Over the course of the year, we believe that we executed well into difficult investment markets by taking advantage of market volatility to improve our investment portfolio composition and maintain robust investment income. This reflects the scale of our invested assets, the quality of the portfolio, and a rate environment that remains favorable. Recent market moves have allowed us to extend duration and lock in higher yields, which we believe will continue to support our earnings power over time.
