book value was impacted by mark-to-market losses on our fixed income portfolio as a result of the recent increase in interest rates. Despite the negative impact on book value during the quarter, we believe a higher interest rate environment is beneficial to our business over the longer term.”

“The reinsurance market environment for the June and July renewals was competitive, but broadly in line with our expectations. Our scale, globally diversified portfolio, and experienced teams position us well to deal with the challenges of the current environment.”

Highlights for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 include:

Results of operations:

 

  •  

For the second quarter, net premiums written of $1.3 billion were up 15%, or 17% on a constant foreign exchange basis. The increase was reported across all Non-life sub-segments and the Life and Health segment. The increase was primarily related to new business in the North America sub-segment, and to a lesser extent, the inclusion of Presidio’s business in the Life and Health segment and new business in the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment. For the first six months of 2013, net premiums written of $2.9 billion were up 13% on a constant foreign exchange basis. The increase was reported across all Non-life sub-segments and the Life and Health segment primarily for the same factors discussed above for the second quarter.

 

  •  

For the second quarter, net premiums earned of $1.2 billion were up 11%, or 12% on a constant foreign exchange basis. The increase in net premiums earned was primarily driven by new business in the North America sub-segment and the inclusion of Presidio. For the first six months of 2013, net premiums earned of $2.4 billion were up 13%, or 14% on a constant foreign exchange basis, primarily for the same factors discussed above for the second quarter.

 

  •  

For the second quarter, the Non-life combined ratio was 97.8%. The combined ratio included 11.7 points (or $112 million, net of reinstatement premiums and retrocession) related to the European floods in June 2013 (the “European floods”) and the extensive flooding in Alberta, Canada in late June 2013 (the “Alberta floods”), and benefited from favorable prior year development of 13.0 points (or $127 million). All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2013, the Non-life combined ratio was 90.0%. The combined ratio included 6.0 points (or $112 million, net of reinstatement premiums and retrocession) related to the European and Alberta floods, and benefited from favorable prior year development of 16.3 points (or $310 million). All Non-life sub-segments experienced net favorable development on prior accident years during the first six months of 2013.

  •  

For the second quarter and first six months of 2013, other operating expenses included a charge of $43 million related to the restructuring of the Company’s business support and Global Non-life operations, which was announced in April 2013. This charge decreased the second quarter annualized operating ROE by 3.1% and the half year annualized operating ROE by 1.5%

 

  •  

For the second quarter and first six months of 2013, net investment income of $125 million and $248 million, respectively, was down 19% and 18%, respectively, on a constant foreign exchange basis. The decrease in net investment income primarily reflects lower reinvestment rates.

 

  •  

For the second quarter and first six months of 2013, pre-tax net realized and unrealized investment losses were $299 million and $276 million, respectively, and primarily reflected increases in risk-free rates.

 

  •  

For the second quarter, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating earnings was (3%) and 23%, respectively. For the first six months of 2013, the effective tax rate on operating earnings and non-operating earnings was 7% and 20%, respectively.

Balance sheet and capitalization:

 

  •  

Total investments, cash and funds held – directly managed were $17.1 billion at June 30, 2013, down 5% compared to December 31, 2012.

 

  •  

Net Non-life loss and loss expense reserves were $10.1 billion at June 30, 2013, down 3% compared to December 31, 2012 primarily due to loss payments and the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar.

 

  •  

Net policy benefits for life and annuity contracts were $1.8 billion at June 30, 2013, flat when compared to December 31, 2012.

 

  •  

Total capital was $7.2 billion at June 30, 2013, down 7% compared to December 31, 2012 primarily driven by share repurchases, the redemption of Series C preferred shares and common and preferred dividend payments, which were partially offset by the issuance of Series F preferred shares and net income for the first six months of 2013.

 

  •  

The Company repurchased approximately 3.7 million common shares at a total cost of approximately $332 million during the second quarter of 2013. The average repurchase price represents a 12.7% discount to March 31, 2013 diluted book value per share. Since July 1, 2013, the Company has repurchased approximately 325 thousand common shares at a total cost of approximately $29 million. At July 29, 2013, approximately 1.1 million common shares remained under the current repurchase authorization.

  •  

Total shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe was $6.4 billion at June 30, 2013, down 8% compared to December 31, 2012. The decline was primarily driven by the factors described above for total capital.

Net income/loss per share is defined as net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe common shareholders is defined as net income/loss attributable to PartnerRe less preferred dividends and loss on redemption of preferred shares. Operating earnings/loss is defined as net income/loss available to PartnerRe common shareholders excluding certain after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses, the loss on redemption of preferred shares and certain after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments. Operating earnings/loss per share is defined as operating earnings/loss divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period.

The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on beginning diluted book value per common and common share equivalents outstanding 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 (except where the company has made a strategic investment in an insurance or reinsurance related investee), after-tax net foreign exchange gains/losses, and the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments (except where the company has made a strategic investment in an insurance or reinsurance related investee and where the Company does not control the investees 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 allocated underwriting result as a measure of underwriting performance for its Life and Health operations. This metric is defined as net premiums earned, other income or loss and allocated net investment income less life policy benefits, acquisition costs and other operating expenses. The Company uses total capital, which is defined as total shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe, long-term debt, senior notes and CENts, to manage the capital structure of the Company. The Company calculates Tangible Book Value using common shareholders’ equity attributable to PartnerRe less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax. The Company calculates Diluted Tangible Book Value per Common Share using Tangible Book Value divided by the weighted average number of PartnerRe common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. The Company uses these measures as the basis for its prime measure of long-term financial performance (annualized growth in Diluted Tangible Book Value per Common Share plus dividends).
