PEMBROKE, Bermuda, July 23, 2007 -- PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported net income of $105.0 million, or $1.66 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2007. This net income includes net after-tax realized losses on investments of $42.8 million, or $0.73 per share. Net income for the second quarter of 2006, including net after-tax realized losses on investments of $47.0 million, or $0.81 per share, was $77.5 million, or $1.20 per share. Operating earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $139.2 million, or $2.39 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to operating earnings of $115.9 million, or $2.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2006. Operating earnings exclude net after-tax realized investment gains and losses and are calculated after payment of preferred dividends. All references to per share amounts in the text of this press release are on a fully diluted basis.

Commenting on the second quarter and half year 2007 results, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Patrick Thiele said, “PartnerRe had another strong quarter with an operating return on beginning shareholders’ equity of 17%. On a six-month basis, we achieved an 18% operating return on beginning shareholders’ equity. Despite the impact of rising interest rates, which had a negative effect on the market value of our bond portfolio, we grew GAAP book value per share by 1% during the quarter and 26% year over year to $58.96.”

Net premiums written for the second quarter of 2007 were $898.7 million, up 10% from $815.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, essentially driven by the Life segment and mix of business and timing issues in the Non-Life book.

For the first six months of 2007, net premiums written were $2.2 billion, essentially flat with the first six months of 2006. Net income was $274.3 million or $4.42 per share. Net income for the period includes net after-tax realized losses on investments of $40.1 million or $0.69 per share. Operating earnings were $297.1 million, or $5.11 per share. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $270.8 million or $4.40 per share including net after-tax realized gains of $3.8 million, or $0.07 per share.

Results by Segment

The Non-Life segment reported net premiums written of $755 million for the quarter, up 7% as compared to the same period in 2006.

12% from the second quarter of 2006. Net premiums earned were up 6% to $380 million for the quarter, compared to the same period in 2006. This sub-segment’s technical ratio was 63.3% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 73.2% for the second quarter of 2006. For the six-month period, net premiums written were up 4% to $978 million. The six-month technical ratio was 62.7%, compared to 66.4% in 2006.

The Life segment, which represented 15% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $136 million for the quarter, representing 32% growth over the second quarter of 2006.

The ART (Alternative Risk Transfer) segment comprises structured risk transfer, principal finance, weather related products, and strategic investments. The pre-tax contribution to net income, including the Company’s interest in the earnings of Channel Re, was a loss of $2 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared to a gain of $15 million in the second quarter of 2006, as results for the second quarter of 2007 were impacted by the write-down of certain transactions in the principal finance unit. For the first six months of 2007, the pre-tax contribution to net income was $4 million compared to $22 million for the same period in 2006.

Balance Sheet Items

During the second quarter of 2007, total investments and cash declined slightly to $10.9 billion due to the impact of rising interest rates, and increased 11% over a trailing 12 month period, due primarily to incremental cash flow. Gross Non-Life loss and loss expense reserves were $6.9 billion. During the second quarter, the Company’s estimate of Non-Life losses for prior accident years developed favorably by $107 million, which is reflected in the quarter’s operating results. The overall prior year reserve development in the Non-Life segment includes net favorable reserve development of $12 million in the U.S. P&C sub-segment, $20 million in the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment, and $75 million in the Worldwide Specialty sub-segment. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company’s estimate of Non-Life losses for prior year reserves developed favorably by $62 million.

At June 30, 2007, total assets were $15.7 billion, total capital was $4.8 billion, and total shareholders’ equity was $3.9 billion. This compares to total assets of $14.9 billion, total capital of $4.7 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $3.8 billion at December 31, 2006.

News Release
 
Book value per common share at June 30, 2007 was $58.96 on a fully diluted basis, up 5% from $56.07 per share at December 31, 2006, and 26% from $46.62 per share at June 30, 2006.
 
Commentary and Outlook

“As expected, the non-life market is continuing its slow decline as cedants retain a greater portion of their business and competition at the reinsurance level intensifies,” Mr. Thiele said. “Despite this more competitive market environment, pricing declines are being broadly offset by continued favorable loss trends, and PartnerRe is benefiting from cedants’ movement to higher quality reinsurers, which is consistent with this stage of the reinsurance pricing cycle. Given that, we are more sanguine about the outlook for 2007 premiums than we were at the start of the year.”

_________________________________________

The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and operating return on beginning common shareholders’ equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains and losses from the sale of investments, which is driven by the timing of the disposition of investments and not by the Company’s operating performance. The Company uses technical ratio and technical result as measures of underwriting performance. The technical ratio is defined as the sum of the loss and acquisition ratios. These metrics exclude other operating expenses. The Company also uses combined ratio to measure results for the Non-Life segment. The combined ratio is the sum of the technical and other operating expense ratios. The Company uses total capital, which is defined as total shareholders’ equity, long-term debt and capital efficient notes, to manage the capital structure of the Company.
