Pembroke, Bermuda, July 26, 2011 RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: RNR) today reported net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $24.8 million or $0.48 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $210.2 million or $3.66, respectively, in the second quarter of 2010. Operating loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $10.2 million or $0.21 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2011, compared to operating income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $139.9 million or $2.40 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2010. The Company reported an annualized return on average common equity of 3.3% and an annualized operating return on average common equity of negative 1.4% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to positive 26.8% and positive 17.9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2010. See Comments on Regulation G for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
Book value per common share increased $0.29, or 0.5%, in the second quarter of 2011 to $57.30, compared to a 5.8% increase in the second quarter of 2010.
Mr. Neill A. Currie, CEO, commented: Our results for the quarter were impacted by $70.8 million of net losses from the tornado activity in the U.S. As a result, we reported $24.8 million of net income, a $10.2 million operating loss and a 0.5% increase in book value per share in the quarter.
Mr. Currie added: At the same time, we had a successful June 1st renewal season and are pleased with our portfolio of risks, which reflects improving market conditions in our Reinsurance segment. Our strong balance sheet, high ratings and leadership position in property catastrophe reinsurance allowed us to increase our catastrophe premiums by over 15%.
SECOND QUARTER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS (1)
| | Gross premiums written increased $135.0 million, or 26.7%, to $641.6 million, primarily driven by improving market conditions in our core markets experienced during the June 2011 renewals and $22.5 million of reinstatement premiums written from the large U.S. tornadoes in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of $22.5 million of reinstatement premiums written in the second quarter of 2011, gross premiums written increased $112.5 million, or 22.2%. |
| | Underwriting income of $9.7 million and a combined ratio of 95.5%, compared to $169.4 million and 20.2%, primarily impacted by the large U.S. tornadoes in the second quarter of 2011, as detailed in the table below, which had a net negative impact (2) of $70.8 million and added 51.8 percentage points to the combined ratio. |

Underwriting Results by Segment (1)
Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written in the Reinsurance segment were $607.4 million, an increase of $110.9 million, or 22.3%. The increase is primarily due to a $93.7 million increase in the catastrophe unit as a result of the improving market conditions in our core markets experienced during the June 2011 renewals, combined with reinstatement premiums written from the large U.S. tornadoes in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of $22.4 million of reinstatement premiums written in the second quarter of 2011, the Reinsurance segment gross premiums written increased $88.5 million, or 17.8%, and managed catastrophe premiums written increased $80.9 million, or 15.7%.
The Reinsurance segment generated underwriting income of $12.9 million and a combined ratio of 93.5%, compared to $180.7 million and a combined ratio of 8.8%. Current accident year net claims and claim expenses in the Reinsurance segment of $162.4 million are comprised of $139.2 million and $23.2 million related to the catastrophe and specialty units, respectively. As detailed in the table below, the large U.S. tornadoes in the second quarter of 2011 had a net impact on the Reinsurance segment underwriting result of $96.9 million and added 55.5 percentage points to the Reinsurance segments combined ratio.

The Reinsurance segment experienced $19.2 million of favorable development on prior year reserves, including $11.8 million in the catastrophe unit due to reductions in estimated ultimate losses on certain specific events, and $7.4 million in the specialty unit primarily due to better than expected claims emergence.
2
Lloyds Segment
Gross premiums written in the Lloyds segment decreased $0.7 million, or 2.1%, to $34.1 million. The Lloyds segment incurred an underwriting loss of $3.3 million and a combined ratio of 119.3%, compared to generating underwriting income of $0.8 million and a combined ratio of 95.5%. Net claims and claim expenses include $3.0 million related to the large U.S. tornadoes in the second quarter of 2011.
Investments (1)
Total investment result, which includes net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains on investments, net other-than-temporary impairments and the change in net unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments available for sale, decreased $19.5 million, to $66.5 million, primarily due to the lower total returns on the fixed maturity investments portfolio, and partially offset by improved returns on certain non-investment grade allocations included in other investments. The weighted average effective yield on the fixed maturity and short term investment portfolio was 2.4% at June 30, 2011, compared to 2.1% at March 31, 2011.
Other Items (1)
| | On June 1, 2011, DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. completed an equity raise of $100.0 million from new and existing shareholders. The capital raised is being used to support the ongoing underwriting activities of DaVinci, which primarily writes property catastrophe reinsurance and certain classes of specialty reinsurance. As a result of the equity raise, the Companys ownership in DaVinciRe decreased to 42.8% effective June 1, 2011, compared to 44.0% at January 1, 2011. |

Please refer to the Investor Information Financial Reports Financial Supplements section of the Companys website at www.renre.com for a copy of the Financial Supplement which includes additional information on the Companys financial performance.
RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. will host a conference call on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. (ET) to discuss this release. Live broadcast of the conference call will be available through the Investor Information Company Webcasts section of RenaissanceRes website at www.renre.com.
RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. is a global provider of reinsurance and insurance. The Companys business consists of three segments: (1) Reinsurance, which includes catastrophe reinsurance, specialty reinsurance and certain property catastrophe and specialty joint ventures managed by the Companys ventures unit, (2) Lloyds, which includes reinsurance and insurance business written through Syndicate 1458, and (3) Insurance, which principally includes the Companys Bermuda-based insurance operations.
Cautionary Statement under Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements made in this earnings release contain information about the Companys future business prospects. These statements may be considered forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by such forward-looking statements. For further information regarding cautionary statements and factors affecting future results, please refer to RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
| (1) | All comparisons are with the second quarter of 2010 unless specifically stated. |
| (2) | Net negative impact includes the sum of estimates of net claims and claim expenses incurred, earned reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded, lost profit commissions and redeemable noncontrolling interest DaVinciRe. The Companys estimates are based on a review of its potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and catastrophe modeling techniques. Given the magnitude and recent occurrence of these events, delays in receiving claims data, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other uncertainties inherent in loss estimation, meaningful uncertainty remains regarding losses from these events. Accordingly, the Companys actual net negative impact from these events will vary from these preliminary estimates, perhaps materially so. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur. |

Comments on Regulation G
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this Press Release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Press Release within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has provided these financial measurements in previous investor communications and the Companys management believes that these measurements are important to investors and other interested persons, and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for the comparison with other companies within the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing the Companys overall financial performance.
The Company uses operating (loss) income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders as a measure to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance. Operating (loss) income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders as used herein differs from net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments from continuing and discontinued operations and net other-than-temporary impairments from continuing and discontinued operations. The Companys management believes that operating (loss) income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders is useful to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the Companys results of operations by removing the variability arising from fluctuations in the Companys fixed maturity investment portfolio and equity investments trading. The Company also uses operating (loss) income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to calculate operating (loss) income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share diluted and operating return on average common equity annualized. The following is a reconciliation of: 1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to operating (loss) income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders; 2) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share diluted to operating (loss)
10
income (attributable) available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share diluted; and 3) return on average common equity annualized to operating return on average common equity annualized:

The Company has also included in this Press Release managed catastrophe premiums. Managed catastrophe premiums is defined as gross catastrophe premiums written by Renaissance Reinsurance and its related joint ventures, excluding catastrophe premiums assumed from the Companys Insurance segment. Managed catastrophe premiums differs from total catastrophe unit gross premiums written, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf of the Companys joint venture Top Layer Re, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf of the Companys Lloyds segment, and the exclusion of catastrophe premiums assumed from the Companys Insurance segment. The Companys management believes managed catastrophe premiums is useful to investors and other interested parties because it provides a measure of total catastrophe premiums, as applicable, assumed by the Company through its consolidated subsidiaries and related joint ventures, excluding catastrophe premiums assumed from the Company's Insurance segment.
