Commenting on the third quarter and nine month 2009 results, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Patrick Thiele said, “PartnerRe had another excellent quarter and first nine months of 2009, with both its reinsurance and capital markets activities performing well. For the first nine months of 2009, we achieved an operating return on beginning equity of 22%, and 30% growth in GAAP book value per share. Our reinsurance results benefited from a low level of large losses while our investment operations continued to participate fully in the improvement experienced by the global capital markets.”

(a) Net income/loss per share is defined as net income/loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Net income/loss available to common shareholders is defined as net income/loss less preferred dividends. Operating earnings is defined as net income/loss available to common shareholders excluding after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net realized gain on the purchase of the CENts and after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments. Operating earnings per share is defined as operating earnings divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. As the effect of dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the fully diluted per share figures for the period were compiled using the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Net premiums written for the third quarter of 2009 were $891.5 million, compared to $869.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. Total revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $1.6 billion, compared to $896.6 million in the third quarter of 2008, and included $1.1 billion of net premiums earned, reflecting a slight increase over the third quarter of 2008; net investment income of $145.3 million, essentially flat with the third quarter of 2008; and pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment gains of $330.2 million, as compared to pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment losses of $(324.2) million for the third quarter of 2008. Foreign exchange negatively impacted comparisons as a result of the year-over-year strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, net premiums written, net premiums earned and net investment income would have increased relative to the amounts reported for the third quarter of 2008 by 8%, 6% and 3%, respectively.

Foreign exchange negatively impacted comparisons as a result of the year-over-year strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, net premiums written would have increased approximately 1% while net premiums earned and net investment income would have increased approximately 2%, relative to the amounts reported for the first nine months of 2008.

Separately, the Company announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.47 per common share. The dividend will be payable on December 1, 2009, to common shareholders of record on November 20, 2009, with the stock trading ex-dividend commencing November 18, 2009.

The Company recently provided an update on its acquisition of PARIS RE, announcing the successful closing of the block purchase of PARIS RE shares, bringing total ownership of PARIS RE to 83% at that time. Subsequent to that announcement, the Company has signed agreements to purchase an additional 4,521,051 PARIS RE shares to bring its estimated total ownership of PARIS RE to approximately 87%. At the same time the Company has entered into binding voting commitments with certain other shareholders of PARIS RE which, when combined with the PARIS RE shares already purchased, give the Company more than 90% of the PARIS RE voting rights based on the number of PARIS RE common shares currently outstanding. The Company remains optimistic that it will complete the full acquisition of PARIS RE by year-end 2009.

Commentary and Outlook

“As we move toward the end of 2009, the non-life market overall remains unchanged – stable to gradually deteriorating; and without any precipitating events, there will likely be a continuation of those trends in 2010,” said Mr. Thiele. “Despite that trend, PartnerRe continues to perform well, and we expect that to continue through the remainder of the year and into 2010, barring any unusually large loss events.”

Mr. Thiele added: “Our acquisition of PARIS RE enhances an already well-balanced portfolio of attractively priced risks. The integration of PARIS RE into the PartnerRe group will provide us with both increased diversification of reinsurance and capital markets risk, and, with expanded capital and resources, significant growth opportunities at a time when industry demand is likely to remain stagnant. We are confident that the larger and stronger PartnerRe will be better able to achieve its financial goals, with reduced risk.”

The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on beginning common shareholders’ equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the impact of after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net realized gain on the purchase of the CENts, and the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments, where the Company does not control the investee companies’ activities. 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, senior notes and capital efficient notes, to manage the capital structure of the Company.
