This net income includes net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $373.3 million, or $4.69 per share.

Operating earnings for the first nine months of 2010 were $391.6 million, or $4.93 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to operating earnings of $617.1 million, or $10.64 per share, for the first nine months of 2009.

Commenting on the third quarter and nine-month 2010 results, PartnerRe Chief Executive Officer Patrick Thiele said, “PartnerRe had an excellent third quarter. Our reinsurance results generated a Non-life combined ratio of 80.7%, including an estimated $64 million loss from the New Zealand earthquake, while our invested assets continued to perform well generating solid returns both in the third quarter and year-to-date. Through September 30, 2010, we have grown GAAP book value per share 10%, in line with our long-term goal, to a new high of $93.21. As a result, we continued repurchasing common shares and increased the common share dividend by 10% during the quarter, leading to a total increase in the common dividend of 17% year over year.”

Commentary and Outlook

PartnerRe President and Chief Operating Officer Costas Miranthis said, “As we move toward the end of 2010, the Non-life market remains unchanged, and we expect a continuation of stable to moderately declining pricing and terms in the January 1, 2011 renewals. We will underwrite the January 1 renewals as a single entity having now fully integrated the PARIS RE book into PartnerRe’s existing portfolio. The optimization of the combined portfolio may result in some further shrinkage of the book.”

“Our increased strength and capabilities continue to present us with opportunities across our book,” Mr. Miranthis said. “Specifically, we are seeing attractive opportunities in our Life business both in mortality and longevity. Ultimately, our larger and more diversified book of business gives us greater flexibility to generate shareholder value over the long-term.”

 

 

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.
