NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. In particular, statements using words such as “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. For example, we may include certain forward-looking statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with regard to trends in results, prices, volumes, operations, investment results, margins, combined ratios, fees, reserves, market conditions, risk management and exchange rates. This Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements with respect to our business and industry, such as those relating to our strategy and management objectives, plans and expectations regarding our response and ability to adapt to changing economic conditions, market standing and product volumes, competition and new entrants in our industry, industry capital, insured losses from loss events, government initiatives and regulatory matters affecting the reinsurance and insurance industries. In addition, this Form 10-Q may include forward-looking statements with respect to the Validus Acquisition and its impact on our business and our relationship with AIG. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q should not be considered as a representation by us or any other person that our current objectives or plans will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those addressed by the forward-looking statements, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revision we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be considered as a representation by us or any other person that our current objectives or plans will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those addressed by the forward-looking statements, including the following:

•our exposure to natural and non-natural catastrophic events and circumstances and the variance they may cause in our financial results;

•the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe climate events;

•the effectiveness of our claims and claim expense reserving process;

•the effect of emerging claims and coverage issues;

•the performance of our investment portfolio and financial market volatility;

•the effects of inflation;

•difficulties in integrating the Validus Business;

•the risk that the due diligence process that we undertook in connection with the Validus Acquisition may not have revealed all facts that may be relevant in connection with the Validus Acquisition;

•that the historical financial statements of the Validus Business are not representative of the future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows of the Validus Business following the Validus Acquisition;

•the ability of our ceding companies and delegated authority counterparties to accurately assess the risks they underwrite;

•our ability to maintain our financial strength ratings;

•the highly competitive nature of our industry;

•our reliance on a small number of brokers;

•collection on claimed retrocessional coverage, and new retrocessional reinsurance being available on acceptable terms or at all;

•the historically cyclical nature of the (re)insurance industries;

•our ability to attract and retain key executives and employees;

•our ability to successfully implement our business, strategies and initiatives;

•our exposure to credit loss from counterparties;

•our need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements;

•our ability to effectively manage capital on behalf of investors in joint ventures or other entities we manage;

•changes to the accounting rules and regulatory systems applicable to our business, including changes in Bermuda and U.S. laws or regulations;

•other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting us;

•our ability to comply with covenants in our debt agreements;

•the effect of adverse economic factors, including changes in the prevailing interest rates and recession or the perception that recession may occur;

•the effect of cybersecurity risks, including technology breaches or failure;

•a contention by the IRS that any of our Bermuda subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the U.S.;

•the effects of possible future tax reform legislation and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate;

•our ability to determine any impairments taken on our investments;

•our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, including through debt instruments, the capital markets, and third party investments in our joint ventures and managed fund partners;

•our ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws; and

•our dependence on the ability of our operating subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends.

As a consequence, our future financial condition and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us. The factors listed above, which are discussed in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 8, 2023, and Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, should not be construed as exhaustive. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as described below.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from these statements.

Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, the results of operations and cash flows for any interim period will not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations and cash flows for the full fiscal year or subsequent quarters.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the reserve for claims and claim expenses; reinsurance recoverable and premiums receivable, including provisions for reinsurance recoverable and premiums receivable to reflect expected credit losses; estimates of written and earned premiums; fair value, including the fair value of investments, financial instruments and derivatives; impairment charges; and the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The use of fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities with resulting unrealized gains or losses is pervasive within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined under accounting guidance currently applicable to the Company as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. The Company recognizes the change in unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value in its consolidated statements of operations.

FASB ASC Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures prescribes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices obtained from active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which the Company has access at the measurement date. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by the Company;

•Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, broker quotes and certain pricing indices; and

•Level 3 inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In these cases, significant management assumptions can be used to establish management’s best estimate of the assumptions used by other market participants in determining the fair value of the asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

In order to determine if a market is active or inactive for a security, the Company considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the spread between what a seller is asking for a security and what a buyer is bidding for the same security, the volume of trading activity for the security in question, the price of

the security compared to its par value (for fixed maturity investments), and other factors that may be indicative of market activity.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s valuation techniques, nor have there been any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or Level 2 and Level 3 during the period represented by these consolidated financial statements.

Below is a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and also represents the carrying amount on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fixed Maturity Investments

Fixed maturity investments included in Level 1 consist of the Company’s investments in U.S. treasuries. Fixed maturity investments included in Level 2 are agencies, corporate (including non-U.S. government-backed corporate), non-U.S. government, residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed.

The Company’s fixed maturity investments are primarily priced using pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as broker quotations. In general, the pricing vendors provide pricing for a high volume of liquid securities that are actively traded. For securities that do not trade on an

exchange, the pricing services generally utilize market data and other observable inputs in matrix pricing models to determine month end prices. Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Index pricing generally relies on market traders as the primary source for pricing; however, models are also utilized to provide prices for all index eligible securities. The models use a variety of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, transactional data, dealer runs, broker-dealer quotes and corporate actions. Prices are generally verified using third-party data. Securities which are priced by an index provider are generally included in the index.

In general, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable inputs. The methodologies include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads, and performance on newly issued securities. Broker-dealers also determine valuations by observing secondary trading of similar securities. Prices obtained from broker quotations are considered non-binding, however they are based on observable inputs and by observing secondary trading of similar securities obtained from active and non-distressed markets.

The Company considers these broker quotations to be Level 2 inputs as they are corroborated with other market observable inputs. The techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are detailed below by asset class.

U.S. Treasuries

Level 1 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s U.S. treasuries fixed maturity investments were primarily priced by pricing services and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 4.8% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2022 - 4.3% and AA, respectively). When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including active broker-dealers. Certain data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source is used for each issue and maturity date.

Corporate

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments principally consisted of U.S. and international corporations and non-U.S. government-backed corporations and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 6.7% and a weighted average credit quality of BBB (December 31, 2022 - 6.3% and BBB, respectively).

The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments, other than non-U.S. government-backed corporations, are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. In certain instances, securities are individually evaluated using a spread which is added to the U.S. treasury curve or a security specific swap curve as appropriate.

Non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high quality credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread to the respective curve for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.

Agencies

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 5.3% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2022 - 4.6% and AA, respectively). The issuers of the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments primarily consist of the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. Fixed maturity investments included in agencies are primarily priced by pricing services. When

evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data.

Non-U.S. Government

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 5.1% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2022 - 4.7% and AA, respectively). The issuers of securities in this sector are non-U.S. governments and their respective agencies as well as supranational organizations. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.

Residential Mortgage-backed

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s residential mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield of maturity of 5.9%, a weighted average credit quality of A, and a weighted average life of 8.0 years (December 31, 2022 - 5.4%, A and 8.6 years, respectively). Residential mortgage-backed securities include both agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services using a mortgage pool specific model which utilizes daily inputs from the active to-be-announced market which is very liquid, as well as the U.S. treasury market. The model also utilizes additional information, such as the weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon and other available pool level data which is provided by the sponsoring agency. Valuations are also corroborated with active market quotes.

Non-agency mortgage-based securities are primarily priced by pricing services using an option adjusted spread model or other relevant models, which principally utilize inputs including benchmark yields, available trade information or broker quotes, and issuer spreads. The pricing services also review collateral prepayment speeds, loss severity and delinquencies among other collateral performance indicators for the securities valuation, when applicable.

Commercial Mortgage-backed

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s commercial mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 8.7%, a weighted average credit quality of AA, and a weighted average life of 2.2 years (December 31, 2022 - 7.4%, AA and 3.2 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services discount the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using a spread adjusted benchmark yield based on the characteristics of the security.

Asset-backed

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 7.4%, a weighted average credit quality of AA and a weighted average life of 4.3 years (December 31, 2022 - 7.4%, AA and 5.2 years, respectively). The underlying collateral for the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments primarily consists of collateralized loan obligations and other receivables. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services determine the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using historical prepayment and default projections for the underlying

collateral and current market data. In addition, a spread is applied to the relevant benchmark and used to discount the cash flows noted above to determine the fair value of the securities held in this sector.

Short Term Investments

Level 1 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s short term investments in U.S. treasuries were primarily priced by pricing services and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 5.4% and a weighted average credit quality of AAA (December 31, 2022 - 4.0% and AAA). When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including active broker-dealers. Certain data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source is used for each issue and maturity date.

Level 2 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s other short term investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 5.3% and a weighted average credit quality of AAA (December 31, 2022 - 4.2% and AAA, respectively). Amortized cost approximates fair value for the majority of the remainder of the Company’s short term investments portfolio and, in certain cases, fair value is determined in a manner similar to the Company’s fixed maturity investments noted above.

Equity Investments

Level 1 - The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity investments, classified as trading is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including applicable securities exchanges. All data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source was used for each security.

Other Investments

Catastrophe Bonds

Level 2 - The Company’s other investments include investments in catastrophe bonds which are recorded at fair value based on broker or underwriter bid indications.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Derivatives

Level 1 and Level 2 - Other assets and liabilities include certain derivatives entered into by the Company. The fair value of these transactions includes certain exchange traded futures contracts which are considered Level 1, and foreign currency contracts and certain credit derivatives, determined using standard industry valuation models and considered Level 2, as the inputs to the valuation model are based on observable market inputs. For credit derivatives, these inputs include credit spreads, credit ratings of the underlying referenced security, the risk-free rate and the contract term. For foreign currency contracts, these inputs include spot rates and interest rate curves.

Other Investments

Direct private equity investments

Level 3 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s other investments included $67.5 million (December 31, 2022 - $66.8 million) of direct private equity investments which are recorded at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of internal valuation models. The Company measured the fair value of these investments using multiples of net tangible book value of the underlying entities. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these investments are liquidity discount rates applied to each of the net tangible book value multiples used in the internal valuation models, and discount rates applied to the expected cash flows of the underlying entities in various scenarios. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. Generally, an increase in the liquidity discount rate or discount rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of these private equity investments.

Term Loans

Level 3 - At September 30, 2023, the Company’s other investments included a $98.9 million (December 31, 2022 - $100.0 million) investment in a term loan which is recorded at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are the cash flow projection of the associated term loan, and the discount rate. The discount rate used is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, (“SOFR”), which is then adjusted for credit risk and a risk premium. These adjustments may be impacted by market movements implied by transactions of similar or related assets, loan-to-value, tenor, liquidity, credit risk adjustment or other risk factors. Assumptions used in the valuation process may significantly impact the resulting fair value.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Assumed and Ceded (Re)insurance Contracts

Level 3 - At September 30, 2023, the Company had a $0.5 million net liability (December 31, 2022 - $1.8 million net liability) related to assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts accounted for at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of an internal valuation model. The inputs to the internal valuation model are principally based on proprietary data as observable market inputs are generally not available. The most significant unobservable inputs include the assumed and ceded expected net cash flows related to the contracts, including the expected premium, acquisition expenses and losses; the expected loss ratio and the relevant discount rate used to present value the net cash flows. The contract period and acquisition expense ratio are considered an observable input as each is defined in the contract. Generally, an increase in the net expected cash flows and expected term of the contract and a decrease in the discount rate, expected loss ratio or acquisition expense ratio, would result in an increase in the expected profit and ultimate fair value of these assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value

The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The Company’s (re)insurance contracts are excluded from the fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance, unless the Company elects the fair value option, and therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed herein. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, receivables for investments sold, certain other assets, payables for investments purchased, certain other liabilities, and other financial instruments not included herein approximated their fair values.

Debt

Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2023 were debt obligations of $1.9 billion (December 31, 2022 - $1.2 billion). At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was $1.8 billion (December 31, 2022 – $1.1 billion).

The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is determined using indicative market pricing obtained from third-party service providers, which the Company considers Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no changes during the period in the Company’s valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations. Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” for additional information related to the Company’s debt obligations.

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The Company has elected to account for certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value using the guidance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for these assets and liabilities. Below is a summary of the balances the Company has elected to account for at fair value:



	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Other investments	$	3,167,941	$	2,494,954
Other assets	$	3,141	$	3,499
Other liabilities	$	3,686	$	5,331

The change in fair value of other investments resulted in net unrealized gains on investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $20.2 million and $100.6 million, respectively (September 30, 2022 – net unrealized gains of $137.4 million and $208.1 million, respectively).

Private Credit Funds

The Company’s investments in private credit funds include limited partnership or similar interests that invest in certain private credit asset classes, including U.S. direct lending funds, secondaries, mezzanine investments, distressed securities and senior secured bank loan funds. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these private credit funds in advance of dissolution of the applicable limited partnerships. Instead, distributions are received by the Company in connection with the liquidation or maturity of the underlying private credit assets of the fund. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships would liquidate over 5 to 10 years from inception of the limited partnership.

Private Equity Funds

The Company’s investments in private equity funds include limited partnership or similar interests that invest in certain private equity asset classes including U.S. and global leveraged buyouts. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these private equity funds in advance of dissolution of the applicable limited partnerships. Instead, distributions are received by the Company in connection with the exit from the underlying private equity investments of the fund. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships would liquidate over 5 to 10 years from inception of the limited partnership.

Limited Partnerships Entities

The Company’s fund investments, included within other investments, represent variable interests in limited partnerships entities with unaffiliated fund managers in the normal course of business. The Company determined that certain of these limited partnership interests represent investments in variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and that it is not required to consolidate these investments because it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these VIEs is limited to the carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any unfunded commitment.

The following table summarizes the aggregate carrying amount of the unconsolidated fund investments in VIEs, as well as our maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs:



	Maximum Exposure to Loss
At September 30, 2023	Carrying amount		Unfunded Commitments		Total
Other investments	$	1,140,450	$	1,402,261	$	2,542,711

At December 31, 2022
Other investments	$	916,248	$	1,148,630	$	2,064,878

NOTE 5. REINSURANCE

The Company purchases reinsurance and other protection to manage its risk portfolio and to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company currently has in place contracts that provide for recovery of a portion of certain claims and claim expenses, generally in excess of various retentions or on a proportional basis. In addition to loss recoveries, certain of the Company’s ceded reinsurance contracts provide for payments of additional premiums, for reinstatement premiums and for lost no-claims bonuses, which are incurred when losses are ceded to the respective reinsurance contracts. The Company remains liable to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet its obligations.

The following table sets forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on net claims and claim expenses incurred:



	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022

In assessing an allowance for reinsurance assets, which includes premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable, the Company considers historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts, and counterparty credit ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. In assessing future default for reinsurance assets, the Company evaluates the provision for current expected credit losses under the probability of default and loss given default method. The Company utilizes its internal capital and risk models, which use counterparty ratings from major rating agencies, and assesses the current market conditions for the likelihood of default. The Company updates its internal capital and risk models for counterparty credit ratings and current market conditions on a periodic basis. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses from reinsurance assets.

Premiums receivable reflect premiums written based on contract and policy terms and include estimates based on information received from both insureds and ceding companies, supplemented by our own judgement, including our estimates of premiums that are written but not reported. Due to the nature of reinsurance, ceding companies routinely report and remit premiums to us subsequent to the contract coverage period, although the time lag involved in the process of reporting and collecting premiums is typically shorter than the lag in reporting losses.

At September 30, 2023, the Company’s premiums receivable balance was $5.9 billion (December 31, 2022 - $5.1 billion). Of the Company’s premiums receivable balance as of September 30, 2023, the majority are receivable from highly rated counterparties. The provision for current expected credit losses on the Company’s premiums receivable was $3.2 million at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $4.6 million). The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company’s premiums receivable:



	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Beginning balance	$	3,151	$	4,350	$	4,606	$	2,776
Provision for (release of) allowance	81		419		(1,374)		1,993


Ending balance	$	3,232	$	4,769	$	3,232	$	4,769

Reinsurance recoverable reflects amounts due from reinsurers based on the claim liabilities associated with the reinsurance policy. The Company accrues amounts that are due from reinsurers based on estimated ultimate losses applicable to the contracts.

At September 30, 2023, the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance was $4.3 billion (December 31, 2022 - $4.7 billion). Of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2023, 51.9% is fully collateralized by our reinsurers, 47.4% is recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or higher by major rating agencies and 0.7% is recoverable from reinsurers rated lower than A- by major rating agencies (December 31, 2022 - 47.2%, 52.0% and 0.8%, respectively). The reinsurers with the three largest balances accounted for 18.4%, 10.5% and 7.2%, respectively, of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - 20.8%, 7.0% and 5.4%, respectively). The provision for current expected credit losses was $10.3 million at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $12.2 million). The three largest company-specific components of the provision for current expected credit losses represented 11.9%, 6.9% and 5.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total provision for current expected credit losses at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - 14.3%, 9.1% and 8.0%, respectively). The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable:



	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Beginning balance	$	11,456	$	9,005	$	12,169	$	8,344
Provision for (release of) allowance	(1,160)		3,082		(1,873)		3,743

The Company believes the most significant accounting judgment made by management is its estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts the Company sells. The Company’s reserve for claims and claim expenses are a combination of case reserves, additional case reserves (“ACR”) and incurred but not reported losses and incurred but not enough reported losses (collectively referred to as “IBNR”). Case reserves are losses reported to the Company by insureds and ceding companies, but which have not yet been paid. If deemed necessary and in certain situations, the Company establishes ACR which represents the Company’s estimate for claims related to specific contracts which the Company believes may not be adequately estimated by the client as of that date or within the IBNR. The Company establishes IBNR using actuarial techniques and expert judgement to represent the anticipated cost of claims which have not been reported to the Company yet, or where the Company anticipates increased reporting. The Company’s reserving committee, which includes members of the Company’s senior management, reviews, discusses, and assesses the reasonableness and adequacy of the reserving estimates included in our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the Company’s reserve for claims and claim expenses by segment, allocated between case reserves, additional case reserves and IBNR:



At September 30, 2023	Case Reserves		Additional Case Reserves		IBNR		Total

Prior Year Development of the Reserve for Net Claims and Claim Expenses

The Company’s estimates of claims and claim expense reserves are not precise in that, among other things, they are based on predictions of future developments and estimates of future trends and other variable factors. Some, but not all, of the Company’s reserves are further subject to the uncertainty inherent in actuarial methodologies and estimates. Because a reserve estimate is simply an insurer’s estimate at a point in time of its ultimate liability, and because there are numerous factors that affect reserves and claims payments that cannot be determined with certainty in advance, the Company’s ultimate payments will vary, perhaps materially, from its estimates of reserves. If the Company determines in a subsequent period that adjustments to its previously established reserves are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are identified. On a net basis, the Company’s cumulative favorable or unfavorable development is generally reduced by offsetting changes in its reinsurance recoverable, as well as changes to loss related premiums such as reinstatement premiums and redeemable noncontrolling interest, all of which generally move in the opposite direction to changes in the Company’s ultimate claims and claim expenses.

The following table details the Company’s prior year net development by segment of its net claims and claim expenses:



Nine months ended September 30,	2023		2022
	(Favorable) adverse development		(Favorable) adverse development
Property	$	(257,209)	$	(76,069)
Casualty and Specialty	(37,588)		(16,627)

Total net (favorable) adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses	$	(294,797)	$	(92,696)

Changes to prior year estimated net claims and claim expenses increased net income by $294.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (2022 - decreased net loss by $92.7 million), excluding the consideration of changes in reinstatement, adjustment or other premium changes, profit commissions, redeemable noncontrolling interests - DaVinci, Vermeer and Fontana and income tax.

(6)“2017 Large Loss Events” includes Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, the Mexico City Earthquake, the wildfires in California during the fourth quarter of 2017 and certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts.

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses was driven by better than expected loss emergence.

The net favorable development on other small catastrophe events and attritional loss movements was related to lines of business where the Company principally estimates net claims and claim expenses using traditional actuarial methods.

The net adverse development on other small catastrophe events and attritional loss movements was related to lines of business where the Company principally estimates net claims and claim expenses using traditional actuarial methods.

Casualty and Specialty Segment

The following table details the development of the Company’s prior accident years net claims and claim expenses for its Casualty and Specialty segment:



Nine months ended September 30,	2023		2022
	(Favorable) adverse development		(Favorable) adverse development
Actuarial methods - actual reported claims less than expected claims	$	(40,498)	$	(38,139)
Actuarial assumption changes	2,910		21,512
Total net (favorable) adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses	$	(37,588)	$	(16,627)

The Company principally estimates net claims and claim expenses for the Casualty and Specialty segment using traditional actuarial methods.

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses driven by favorable experience, principally within the Company’s other specialty and credit lines of business.

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses, principally within the Company’s specialty lines of business, partially offset by net adverse development of $21.5 million associated with certain actuarial assumption changes.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – DaVinci

RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in DaVinci; however, because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinci’s outstanding voting rights, the Company consolidates DaVinci and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The portion of DaVinci’s earnings owned by third parties is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinci was 27.8% at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - 30.9%).

DaVinci shareholders are party to a shareholders agreement which provides DaVinci shareholders, excluding RenaissanceRe, with certain redemption rights that enable each shareholder to notify DaVinci of such shareholder’s desire for DaVinci to repurchase up to half of such shareholder’s initial aggregate number of shares held, subject to certain limitations, such as limiting the aggregate of all share repurchase requests to 25% of DaVinci’s capital in any given year and satisfying all applicable regulatory requirements. If total shareholder requests exceed 25% of DaVinci’s capital, the number of shares repurchased will be reduced among the requesting shareholders pro-rata, based on the amounts desired to be repurchased. Shareholders desiring to have DaVinci repurchase their shares must notify DaVinci before March 1 of each year. The repurchase price will be based on GAAP book value as of the end of the year in which the shareholder notice is given, and the repurchase will be effective as of December 31 of that year. The repurchase price can be subject to a holdback and true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves. Similarly, when shares are issued by DaVinci and sold to DaVinci shareholders, the sale price is based on GAAP book value as of the end of the period preceding the sale and can be subject to a true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves.

2023

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, DaVinci completed an equity capital raise of $250.0 million, comprised of $102.2 million from third-party investors and $147.8 million from RenaissanceRe. In addition, RenaissanceRe sold an aggregate of $275.0 million of its shares in DaVinci to third-party investors and purchased an aggregate of $123.3 million of shares from third-party investors. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinci subsequent to these transactions was 27.8%.

The timing of cash flows associated with equity capital transactions can vary from one period to the next. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, RenaissanceRe received $Nil from subscriptions of shares in DaVinci by third-party investors, and paid $123.3 million as a result of redemptions of shares from third-party investors.

2022

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, DaVinci completed an equity capital raise of $500.0 million, comprised of $284.8 million from third-party investors and $215.2 million from RenaissanceRe. In addition, RenaissanceRe sold an aggregate of $177.9 million of its shares in DaVinci to third-party investors and purchased an aggregate of $161.6 million of shares from third-party investors. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinci subsequent to these transactions was 30.9%.

The Company expects its noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinci to fluctuate over time.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - Medici

RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in Medici; however, because RenaissanceRe controls all of Medici’s issued voting shares, the Company consolidates Medici and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The portion of Medici’s earnings owned by third parties is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. Any shareholder may redeem all or any portion of its shares as of the last day of any calendar month, upon at least 30 calendar days’ prior irrevocable written notice to Medici.

2023

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, investors subscribed for $456.0 million, including $25.1 million from the Company, and redeemed $43.3 million, of the participating, non-voting common shares of Medici. As a result of these net subscriptions, the Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in Medici was 10.8% at September 30, 2023.

The timing of cash flows associated with equity capital transactions can vary from one period to the next. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, RenaissanceRe received $429.9 million from subscriptions of shares in Medici by third-party investors, and paid $39.4 million as a result of redemptions of shares from third-party investors.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – Vermeer

RenaissanceRe owns 100% of the voting non-participating shares of Vermeer, while the sole third-party investor, PFZW, owns 100% of the non-voting participating shares of Vermeer and retains all of the economic benefits. Vermeer is managed by RUM in return for a management fee. The Company has concluded that Vermeer is a VIE as it has voting rights that are not proportional to its participating rights, and the Company is the primary beneficiary of Vermeer. As a result, the Company consolidates Vermeer and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. As PFZW owns all of the economics of Vermeer, all of Vermeer’s earnings are allocated to PFZW in the consolidated statement of operations as net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company has not provided any financial or other support to Vermeer that it was not contractually required to provide.

2023

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, PFZW redeemed $175.0 million of the participating, non-voting common shares of Vermeer.

2022

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PFZW subscribed for $130.0 million of the participating, non-voting common shares of Vermeer.

The Company does not expect its noncontrolling economic ownership in Vermeer to fluctuate over time.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – Fontana

RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in Fontana and controls a majority of Fontana’s issued voting shares. The Company concluded that Fontana meets the definition of a VIE as the voting rights are not proportional with the obligations to absorb losses and rights to receive residual returns. The Company evaluated its relationship with Fontana and concluded it is the primary beneficiary of Fontana, as it has power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Fontana. As a result, the Company consolidates Fontana and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The portion of Fontana’s earnings owned by third parties is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company may be obligated to repurchase all or a portion of the shares held by shareholders of Fontana upon request, subject to certain restrictions. The Company has not provided any financial or other support to Fontana that it was not contractually required to provide.

2023

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no subscriptions or redemptions of non-voting common shares of Fontana. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in Fontana was 31.6% at September 30, 2023.

Refer to “Note 16. Subsequent Events” for additional information related to the Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in Fontana subsequent to September 30, 2023.

2022

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company launched Fontana with capital commitments of $475.0 million, of which $400.0 million was funded on April 1, 2022. Of this amount, $273.7 million was funded by third-party investors. As a result of these subscriptions, the Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in Fontana was 31.6% at September 30, 2022.

The Company’s investment in Fontana may fluctuate, perhaps materially, in future quarters.

Upsilon RFO

Upsilon RFO is a segregated accounts company and currently has three segregated accounts. RenaissanceRe indirectly owns a portion of the participating non-voting preference shares of each of the existing segregated accounts of Upsilon RFO and all of Upsilon RFO’s voting Class A shares. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholder) participate in all of the profits or losses of Upsilon RFO while their shares remain outstanding. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholder) indemnify Upsilon RFO against losses relating to insurance risk, and therefore, these shares have been accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance.

Upsilon RFO is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of each of the existing segregated accounts of Upsilon RFO as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance

of the segregated accounts and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to the segregated accounts, in accordance with the accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidates the existing segregated accounts of Upsilon RFO and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Other than its equity investments in Upsilon RFO, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Upsilon RFO that it was not contractually required to provide.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, forward contracts and other derivative contracts primarily to manage its foreign currency exposure, obtain exposure to a particular financial market, for yield enhancement, or for trading and to assume risk. The Company’s derivative instruments can be exchange traded or over-the-counter, with over-the-counter derivatives generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish the terms of the transactions entered into with the Company’s derivative counterparties. In the event a party becomes insolvent or otherwise defaults on its obligations, a master agreement generally permits the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ marked-to-market values so that a single sum in a single currency will be owed by, or owed to, the non-defaulting party. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure. Where the Company has entered into master netting agreements with counterparties, or the Company has the legal and contractual right to offset positions, the derivative positions are generally netted by counterparty and are reported accordingly in other assets and other liabilities.

The Company is not aware of the existence of any credit-risk related contingent features that it believes would be triggered in its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at September 30, 2023.

The tables below show the gross and net amounts of recognized derivative assets and liabilities at fair value, including the location on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s principal derivative instruments:

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges

Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company uses interest rate futures and swaps within its portfolio of fixed maturity investments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, which may result in increasing or decreasing its exposure to this risk.

Interest Rate Futures

The fair value of interest rate futures is determined using exchange traded prices. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $2.2 billion of notional long positions and $1.5 billion of notional short positions of primarily U.S. treasury, Eurozone and Japanese government bond futures contracts (December 31, 2022 - $2.4 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively, primarily of U.S. treasury futures contracts).

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company writes a portion of its business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and may, from time to time, experience foreign exchange gains and losses in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The impact of changes in exchange rates on the Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, excluding non-monetary assets and liabilities, are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Underwriting and Non-investments Operations Related Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company’s foreign currency policy with regard to its underwriting operations is generally to enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts for notional values that approximate the foreign currency liabilities, including claims and claim expense reserves and reinsurance balances payable, net of any cash, investments and receivables held in the respective foreign currency. The Company’s use of foreign currency forward and option contracts is intended to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities associated with its underwriting operations. The Company may determine not to match a portion of its projected underwriting related assets or liabilities with underlying foreign currency exposure with investments in the same currencies, which would increase its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and potentially increase the impact and volatility of foreign exchange gains and losses on its results of operations. The fair value of the Company’s underwriting operations related foreign currency contracts is determined using indicative pricing obtained from counterparties or broker quotes. At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding underwriting related foreign currency contracts of $763.6 million in notional long positions and $151.0 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2022 - $861.7 million and $172.4 million, respectively).

Investment Portfolio Related Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company’s investment operations are exposed to currency fluctuations through its investments in non-U.S. dollar fixed maturity investments, short term investments and other investments. From time to time, the Company may employ foreign currency forward contracts in its investment portfolio to either assume foreign currency risk or to economically hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations from these investments. The fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio related foreign currency forward contracts is determined using an interpolated rate based on closing forward market rates. At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding investment portfolio related foreign currency contracts of $339.1 million in notional long positions and $75.8 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2022 - $225.6 million and $86.3 million, respectively).

Credit Derivatives

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is primarily due to its fixed maturity investments, short term investments, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable. From time to time, the Company may purchase credit derivatives to manage its exposures in the insurance industry, and to assist in managing the credit risk associated with ceded reinsurance. The Company also employs credit derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume credit risk or manage its credit exposure.

Credit Default Swaps

The fair value of the Company’s credit default swaps is determined using industry valuation models, broker bid indications or internal pricing valuation techniques. The fair value of these credit default swaps can change based on a variety of factors including changes in credit spreads, default rates and recovery rates, the correlation of credit risk between the referenced credit and the counterparty, and market rate inputs such as interest rates. At September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding credit default swaps of $1.0 billion in notional positions to hedge credit risk and $19.5 million in notional positions to assume credit risk, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2022 - $953.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively).

Total Return Swaps

The fair value of the Company’s total return swaps is determined using broker-dealer bid quotations, market-based prices from pricing vendors or valuation models. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding total return swaps.

Equity Derivatives

Equity Futures

From time to time, the Company uses equity derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume equity risk or hedge its equity exposure. The fair value of the Company’s equity futures is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. At September 30, 2023, the Company had no notional positions of equity futures, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2022 - $116.0 million notional long position).

Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

Foreign Currency Derivatives

Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

One of the Company’s subsidiaries currently uses a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign exchange forwards to hedge non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, on an after-tax basis, from changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, this included the Australian dollar net investment in a foreign operation. These foreign exchange forward contracts were formally designated as hedges of its investment in subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies and there was no ineffectiveness in these transactions.

The table below provides a summary of derivative instruments designated as hedges of net investments in a foreign operation, including the weighted average U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign denominated net (liabilities) assets that were hedged and the resulting derivative gains (losses) that are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity:



	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Weighted average of U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign denominated net assets (liabilities)	$	57,216	$	65,599	$	58,779	$	76,839
Derivative gains (losses) (1)	$	1,818	$	4,925	$	3,357	$	9,219

(1)Derivative gains (losses) from derivative instruments designated as hedges of the net investment in a foreign operation are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER ITEMS

There are no material changes from the commitments, contingencies and other items previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on reinsurance treaties or contracts or direct surplus lines insurance policies. In the Company’s industry, business litigation may involve allegations of underwriting or claims-handling errors or misconduct, disputes relating to the scope of, or compliance with, the terms of delegated underwriting agreements, employment claims, regulatory actions or disputes arising from the Company’s business ventures. The Company’s operating subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving, among other things, disputed interpretations of policy coverages. Generally, the Company’s direct surplus lines insurance operations are subject to greater frequency and diversity of claims and claims-related litigation than its reinsurance operations and, in some jurisdictions, may be subject to direct actions by allegedly injured persons or entities seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, involving or arising out of claims on policies issued by the Company’s subsidiaries which are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of business, are considered in its loss and loss expense reserves. In addition, the Company may from time to time engage in litigation or arbitration related to its claims for payment in respect of ceded reinsurance, including disputes that challenge the Company’s ability to enforce its underwriting intent. Such matters could result, directly or indirectly, in providers of protection not meeting their obligations to the Company or not doing so on a timely basis. The Company may also be subject to other disputes from time to time, relating to operational or other matters distinct from insurance or reinsurance claims. Any litigation or arbitration, or regulatory process contains an element of uncertainty, and the value of an exposure or a gain contingency related to a dispute is difficult to estimate. The Company believes that no individual litigation or arbitration to which it is presently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business or operations.

Validus Acquisition

See “Note 15. Acquisition of Validus” for information related to the obligations of the Company with respect to the Validus Acquisition.

NOTE 15. ACQUISITION OF VALIDUS

On November 1, 2023, the Company completed the Validus Acquisition in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 22, 2023 (as amended, the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), between RenaissanceRe and American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and NYSE-listed company (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “AIG”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, RenaissanceRe,or one of its subsidiaries, purchased, acquired and accepted from certain subsidiaries of AIG, all of their right, title and interest in the shares of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of AIG, including Validus Holdings, Ltd. (“Validus Holdings”), and Validus Specialty, LLC (“Validus Specialty”). Substantially all of the assets of Validus Holdings is comprised of its equity interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Validus Reinsurance, Ltd. (“Validus Re”). The Company also acquired the renewal rights, records and customer relationships of Talbot Underwriting Ltd., an affiliate of AIG (“Talbot”), a specialty (re)insurance group operating within the Lloyd’s market. The acquisitions under the Stock Purchase Agreement, together with the other transactions contemplated in the Stock Purchase Agreement, are referred to herein as the “Validus Acquisition” and Validus Holdings, Validus Specialty, and their respective subsidiaries (including Validus Re) collectively are referred to herein as “Validus.”

In connection with the Validus Acquisition, on November 1, 2023, the Company paid to AIG aggregate consideration of $2.985 billion, consisting of the following: (i) cash consideration of $2.735 billion; and (ii) 1,322,541 common shares, which were valued at approximately $250.0 million based on a value of $189.03 per share at signing, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Base Common Share Consideration”). The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with AIG in respect of the Base Common Share Consideration. AIG also has the option to make a substantial investment into the Company’s Capital Partners vehicles.

As set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, AIG caused certain Validus entities to be acquired by the Company to pay, prior to the completion of the Validus Acquisition, to AIG entities not being acquired by the Company, one or more dividends in an aggregate amount equal to the estimated excess tangible book value of all acquired entities above $2.1 billion. The Stock Purchase Agreement also includes a reserve development arrangement on net reserves acquired at closing such that AIG retains 95% of the risk and reward on the development of in-force reserves.

The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination. The Company is currently estimating the impact of the Validus Acquisition on its financial statements as of the date the financial statements were issued, and expects these estimates to be further refined during the purchase accounting measurement period. The Company has concluded that, due to the limited amount of time since the date of this transaction, in accordance with the accounting guidance, it is impracticable to provide all of the disclosures required for a business combination at the time of this filing.

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective October 1, 2023, Fontana issued $75.0 million of non voting common shares to investors, including $23.7 million to the Company. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in Fontana subsequent to this transaction remained 31.6%.

In October 2023, Hurricane Otis impacted Acapulco and the surrounding region of Mexico. The Company is in the preliminary stage of assessing the impact of this event on the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023. It is difficult at this time to provide an accurate estimate of the financial impact of this event, including as a result of the preliminary nature of the information available and provided thus far by industry participants, the magnitude and recent occurrence of the event, and other factors. The estimated losses for this event will be reported in the Company's annual 2023 financial results.

See “Note 15. Acquisition of Validus” for additional information regarding the Validus Acquisition, which closed on November 1, 2023.

Established in 1993, we have offices in Bermuda, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S. We are one of the world’s leading providers of property and, casualty and specialty reinsurance.

Our mission is to match desirable, well-structured risks with efficient sources of capital to achieve our vision of being the best underwriter. We believe that this will allow us to produce superior returns for our shareholders over the long term, and to further our purpose of protecting communities and enabling prosperity. We seek to accomplish these goals by (i) being a trusted, long-term partner to our customers for assessing and managing risk, (ii) delivering responsive and innovative solutions, (iii) leveraging our core capabilities of risk assessment and information management, (iv) investing in these core capabilities in order to serve our customers across market cycles, and (v) keeping our promises.

Our core products include property, casualty and specialty reinsurance, and certain insurance products, principally distributed through intermediaries with whom we have cultivated strong long-term relationships. Our business consists of the following reportable segments: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property (re)insurance, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty (re)insurance. The underwriting results of our consolidated operating subsidiaries and underwriting platforms are included in our Property and Casualty and Specialty segment results as appropriate.

Our strategy focuses on operating as an integrated system of three competitive advantages: superior risk selection, superior customer relationships and superior capital management. We provide value to our customers and partners in the form of financial security, innovative products, and responsive service. We are known as a leader in paying valid claims promptly.

We have three principal drivers of profit that generate diversified earnings streams for our business - underwriting income, fee income, and investment income. Underwriting income is the income that we earn from our core underwriting business. By accepting the volatility that this business brings, we believe that we can generate superior long-term returns and achieve our vision. Fee income is the income that we earn primarily from managing third-party capital in our Capital Partners unit, and is composed of management fee income and performance fee income. Investment income is income derived from the investment portfolio that we maintain to support our business. We take a disciplined approach in building a relatively conservative, well-structured investment portfolio with a focus on fixed income investments. Compared to underwriting income, we view fee income, in particular management fee income, and investment income, as relatively stable, less volatile, and capital efficient sources of income.

We principally measure our financial success through long-term growth in tangible book value per common share plus the change in accumulated dividends. We believe this metric is the most appropriate measure of our financial performance, and in respect of which we believe we have delivered superior performance over time.

Our current business strategy focuses predominantly on writing reinsurance, although we also write excess and surplus lines insurance through delegated authority arrangements. Additionally, we pursue a number of other opportunities, such as creating and managing our joint ventures and managed funds, executing customized reinsurance transactions to assume or cede risk, and managing certain strategic investments directed at classes of risk other than catastrophe reinsurance. From time to time we consider diversification into new ventures, either through organic growth, the formation of new joint ventures or managed funds, or the acquisition of, or the investment in, other companies or books of business of other companies.

We continually explore appropriate and efficient ways to address the risk needs of our clients and the impact of various regulatory and legislative changes on our operations. We have created, and manage, multiple capital vehicles across several jurisdictions and may create additional risk bearing vehicles or enter into additional jurisdictions in the future. In addition, our differentiated strategy and capabilities position us to pursue bespoke or large solutions for clients.

VALIDUS ACQUISITION

On November 1, 2023, we completed the Validus Acquisition in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 22, 2023 between RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. and American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and NYSE-listed company, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, we, or one of our subsidiaries, purchased, acquired and accepted from certain subsidiaries of AIG, all of their right, title and interest in the shares of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of AIG, including Validus Holdings, Ltd., and Validus Specialty, LLC. Substantially all of the assets of Validus Holdings are comprised of its equity interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Validus Reinsurance, Ltd. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we also acquired the renewal rights, records and customer relationships of Talbot Underwriting Ltd., an affiliate of AIG, a specialty (re)insurance group operating within the Lloyd’s market.

In connection with the Validus Acquisition, on November 1, 2023, we paid to AIG aggregate consideration of $2.985 billion, consisting of the following: (i) cash consideration of $2.735 billion; and (ii) 1,322,541 common shares, which were valued at approximately $250.0 million based on a value of $189.03 per share at signing, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Base Common Share Consideration”). We also entered into a registration rights agreement with AIG in respect of the Base Common Share Consideration. AIG also has the option to make a substantial investment into our Capital Partners vehicles.

We believe that the Validus Acquisition has several significant strategic benefits for us. We believe that it advances our strategy as a pure-play global property and casualty reinsurer, providing additional scale and increasing our importance with customers and brokers. Through the Validus Acquisition, we expect to gain access to a large, attractive book of reinsurance business that is closely aligned with our existing business mix. We believe the Validus Acquisition can also accelerate our growth in a favorable market, as we believe our increased scale following the Validus Acquisition would position us among the five largest global property and casualty reinsurers. We believe the Validus Acquisition will be immediately accretive to our shareholders upon completion. At the same time, we intend to deepen our relationship with a core trading partner, AIG, who is one of our five largest clients by premium volume, as the Validus Acquisition provides options for increased future strategic engagement. The statements set forth in this paragraph generally represent our goals and not projections.

Revenues and Expenses

Our revenues are principally derived from three sources: (1) net premiums earned from the reinsurance and insurance policies we sell; (2) net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains from the investment of our capital funds and the investment of the cash we receive on the policies which we sell; and (3) fees received from our joint ventures, managed funds and structured reinsurance products, which are primarily reflected in redeemable noncontrolling interest or as an offset to acquisition or operating expenses.

Our expenses primarily consist of: (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred on the policies of reinsurance and insurance we sell; (2) acquisition costs, which typically represent a percentage of the premiums we write; (3) operating expenses, which primarily consist of personnel expenses, rent and other expenses; (4) corporate expenses, which include certain executive, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, transaction and integration-related expenses, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company; and (5) interest and dividends related to our debt and preference shares. We are also subject to taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Since the majority of our income is earned in Bermuda, which does not currently have a corporate income tax, the tax impact to our operations has historically been minimal. However, in the third quarter of 2023, the government of Bermuda announced its intention to implement a 15% corporate income tax effective January 1, 2025. If this occurs, and if the OECD's Pillar Two regime is implemented in the jurisdictions in which we operate, there may be an increase in our income taxes in the future. We believe that the flexible global operating model that we have utilized will continue to prove resilient.

The underwriting results of an insurance or reinsurance company are discussed frequently by reference to its net claims and claim expense ratio, underwriting expense ratio, and combined ratio. The net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by dividing net claims and claim expenses incurred by net premiums earned. The underwriting expense ratio is calculated by dividing underwriting expenses (acquisition expenses and operational expenses) by net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the net claims and claim expense ratio and the underwriting expense ratio. A combined ratio below 100% indicates

profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. A combined ratio over 100% indicates unprofitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. We also discuss our net claims and claim expense ratio on a current accident year basis and a prior accident years basis. The current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking current accident year net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned. The prior accident years net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking prior accident years net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned.

We manage DaVinci, Fontana, Medici, and Vermeer, and own all, or a majority, of the voting interests, but own no, or a minority, economic interest of each. As a result of our controlling voting interests, we fully consolidate these entities in our financial statements, even though we do not retain the full value of the economic outcomes generated by these entities. The portions of the economic outcomes that are not retained by us are ultimately allocated to the third-party investors who hold the noncontrolling interests in these entities. The economic outcomes may include underwriting results, investments results, and foreign exchange impacts, among other items. For example, if one of these entities were to generate underwriting losses due to a natural catastrophe, the full amount would be reflected in net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of operations, but ultimately we would only retain a portion of that amount in our net income (loss) attributable to RenaissanceRe. In the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations, we allocate the portion of these items attributable to third parties in the “Net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests” line item. Refer to “Note 8. Noncontrolling Interests” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our redeemable noncontrolling interests and how this accounting treatment impacts the Company’s financial results.

Effects of Inflation

General economic inflation has increased over the past few years compared to recent historical norms, and there is a risk of inflation remaining elevated for an extended period, which could cause claims and claims related expenses to increase, impact the performance of our investment portfolio, or have other adverse effects. This risk may have been exacerbated by the impact from the war in Ukraine and global supply chain issues, among other factors. Many central banks have been raising interest rates, which could act as a countervailing force against some of these inflationary pressures. The actual effects of the current and potential future increase in inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until, among other items, claims are ultimately settled. The duration and severity of an inflationary period cannot be estimated with precision. We consider the anticipated effects of inflation on us in our catastrophe loss models and on our investment portfolio. Our estimates of the potential effects of inflation are also considered in pricing and in estimating reserves for unpaid claims and claim expenses. The potential exists, after a catastrophe loss, for the development of inflationary pressures in a local economy.

Net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $194.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $825.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $1,019.3 million. As a result of our net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders in the third quarter of 2023, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of 11.5%, and our book value per common share increased from $129.98 at June 30, 2023 to $133.63 at September 30, 2023, a 3.1% increase, after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.

The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the third quarter of 2023, on a comparative basis to the third quarter of 2022, include:

•Underwriting Results - we generated underwriting income of $385.8 million and had a combined ratio of 78.0% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to an underwriting loss of $683.1 million and a combined ratio of 138.7% in the third quarter of 2022. Our underwriting income in the third quarter of 2023 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated underwriting income of $356.0 million and had a combined ratio of 53.2%, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $29.8 million and had a combined ratio of 97.0%. In comparison, our underwriting loss in the third quarter of 2022 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated an underwriting loss of $722.6 million and had a combined ratio of 186.0%, offset in part by our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $39.5 million and had a combined ratio of 95.7%;

Notwithstanding our strong results in the third quarter of 2023, our underwriting results in the third quarter of 2023 were impacted by the 2023 Large Loss Events (as defined below), which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $97.7 million and added 5.7 percentage points to the consolidated combined ratio, all in the Property segment. This compares to the third quarter of 2022, which was impacted by the Q3 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $977.4 million and added 57.2 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in the Property segment;

•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, was income of $101.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to a loss of $483.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. The primary drivers of the improved total investment result were an increase in net investment income of $171.3 million, primarily resulting from higher average invested assets and higher yielding assets, and a reduction in net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $413.4 million as a result of lower interest rate increases in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022, as well as a tightening of risk spreads in the wider catastrophe bond market in 2023 as compared to 2022, when there was a widening of risk spreads;

•Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $213.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $372.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the third quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by underwriting income generated by DaVinci and Vermeer, net investment income resulting from higher interest rates and yields within the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds, and net realized and unrealized gains on the catastrophe bonds held in Medici;

•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written decreased by $602.2 million, or 27.1%, to $1.6 billion, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the third quarter of 2022. This was comprised of a decrease of $312.9 million in our Casualty and Specialty segment, primarily driven by higher premium growth in the credit class of business in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 2023, and a decrease of $289.3 million in our Property segment, driven by a reduction in gross reinstatement premiums;

•Impact of Large Loss Events - we had a net negative impact on net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $77.5 million resulting from the 2023 Large Loss Events. This compares to a net negative impact on net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $648.4 million resulting from the Q3 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses.

Net Negative Impact

Net negative impact on underwriting result includes the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) assumed and ceded reinstatement premiums earned and (3) earned and lost profit commissions. Net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders is the sum of (1) net negative impact on underwriting result and (2) redeemable noncontrolling interest, both before consideration of any related income tax benefit (expense).

Our estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of our potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. Our actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, may vary from these estimates, perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur.

Meaningful uncertainty remains regarding the estimates and the nature and extent of the losses from these catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of each event, the geographic areas impacted by the events, relatively limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in loss estimation, among other things.

Property Gross Premiums Written

In the third quarter of 2023, our Property segment gross premiums written decreased by $289.3 million, or 36.1%, to $511.0 million, compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $160.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $230.5 million, or 58.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was principally driven by a reduction of $236.5 million in gross reinstatement premiums due to a lower level of catastrophe losses in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $350.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $58.8 million, or 14.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross premiums written in the other property class of business was principally due to the non-renewal of certain catastrophe exposed quota share programs that did not meet our return hurdles.

Property Ceded Premiums Written



Three months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Ceded premiums written	$	66,140	$	103,810	$	(37,670)

Ceded premiums written in our Property segment were $66.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $37.7 million, or 36.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. Included in the third quarter of 2023 is a reduction of ceded reinstatement premiums of $11.1 million following the net favorable development of prior accident years combined with a lower level of catastrophe losses as compared to the third quarter of 2022. The third quarter of 2022 included ceded reinstatement premiums of $57.1 million, driven by the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses. After the consideration of ceded reinstatement premiums, we incurred

higher ceded premiums written reflecting an increase in our retrocessional purchases as a part of our gross-to-net strategy.

We purchase reinsurance to reduce our exposure to large losses and to help manage our risk portfolio. To the extent that appropriately priced coverage is available, we anticipate continued use of retrocessional reinsurance to reduce the impact of large losses on our financial results and to manage our portfolio of risk.

Property Net Premiums Written



Three months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Net premiums written	$	444,872	$	696,520	$	(251,648)

Net premiums written in our Property segment were $444.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, an decrease of $251.6 million, or 36.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2022. Included in net premiums written in the third quarter of 2023 were net reinstatement premiums of $6.5 million compared to $174.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a decrease in net reinstatement premiums of $167.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily within the catastrophe class of business. In addition to a reduction in net reinstatement premiums, the gross premiums written reductions within the other property class of business noted above also contributed to the reduction in the net premiums written.

Property Underwriting Results

Our Property segment generated underwriting income of $356.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to an underwriting loss of $722.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, our Property segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 27.1%, an underwriting expense ratio of 26.1% and a combined ratio of 53.2%, compared to 163.4%, 22.6% and 186.0%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022. Impacting the underwriting result and combined ratio in the third quarter of 2023 were the 2023 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $97.7 million and added 13.6 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio, reflecting impacts in both the catastrophe and other property classes of business. Impacting the underwriting result and combined ratio in the third quarter of 2022 were the Q3 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $968.4 million and added 123.0 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio, reflecting significant impacts in both the catastrophe and other property classes of business.

The net claims and claim expense ratio of 27.1% is comprised of a current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio of 46.1% and 19.0 percentage points of net favorable development of prior accident years. In comparison, the third quarter of 2022 had a net claims and claim expense ratio of 163.4%, comprised of a current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio of 166.3% and 2.9 percentage points of net favorable development of prior accident years. The decrease of 120.2 percentage points in the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio is primarily as a result of a lower impact from the 2023 Large Loss Events, which contributed 14.5 percentage points to the Property segment current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio, as compared to the Q3 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which contributed 127.9 percentage points to the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio in the third quarter of 2022.

The underwriting expense ratio increased 3.5 percentage points, largely driven by a reduced benefit in the third quarter of 2023 from net reinstatement premiums as compared to the third quarter of 2022.

See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.

Casualty and Specialty Gross Premiums Written

In the third quarter of 2023, our Casualty and Specialty segment gross premiums decreased by $312.9 million, or 22.0%%, to $1.1 billion, compared to the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was principally due to significant premium growth in the credit class of business in the third quarter of 2022 associated with opportunistic deals written in our mortgage book which do not renew annually and earn over several years. The decrease in gross premiums written also reflects the impact of positive changes in premium estimates in the third quarter of 2022 for business underwritten in prior years which added approximately $111.3 million in that period. Additionally, growth in the other specialty class of business as compared to the third quarter of 2022 was offset by a decrease in the casualty classes of business, reflecting proactive cycle management. The increase in gross premiums written within other specialty principally reflects increases in new and existing proportional business underwritten in prior periods.

The majority of our Casualty and Specialty segment premiums consists of proportional business. Our relative mix of business between proportional business and excess of loss business has fluctuated in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future. Proportional business typically has a higher expense ratio and tends to be exposed to more attritional and frequent losses, while being subject to less expected severity compared to traditional excess of loss business.

Casualty and Specialty Ceded Premiums Written



Three months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Ceded premiums written	$	131,043	$	295,140	$	(164,097)

Ceded premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment decreased by $164.1 million, to $131.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $295.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, driven by the decrease in gross premiums written subject to our retrocessional quota share reinsurance programs, in addition to the reduction in our retrocessional purchases. In 2023, as part of our gross-to-net strategy, we reduced our retrocessional purchases in conjunction with increasing the casualty and specialty business assumed by Fontana.

As in our Property segment, the buying of ceded reinsurance in our Casualty and Specialty segment is based on market opportunities and is not based on placing a specific reinsurance program each year.

Casualty and Specialty Net Premiums Written



Three months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Net premiums written	$	976,388	$	1,125,191	$	(148,803)

Net premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment decreased by $148.8 million, or 13.2%, to $976.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022, consistent with the changes in gross premiums written, partly offset by an overall reduction in our retrocessional purchases.

Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results

Our Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $29.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to underwriting income of $39.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 65.8%, an underwriting expense ratio of 31.2% and a combined ratio of 97.0%, compared to 64.2%, 31.5% and 95.7%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022.

The increase in the Casualty and Specialty segment combined ratio in the third quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by the increase of 1.6 percentage points in the net claims and claims expense ratio, mainly as a result of higher current accident year attritional losses. Event losses on catastrophe exposed lines within Specialty classes of business contributed approximately 3.0 percentage points to the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio in the third quarter of 2023.

Fee Income

Total performance fee income	20,072		739		19,333
Total fee income	$	64,558	$	25,728	$	38,830

The table above shows total fee income earned through third-party capital management activities, including various joint ventures, managed funds and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party. Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be zero or negative in a particular period if, for example, large losses occur, which can potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees. Joint ventures include DaVinci, Top Layer, Vermeer, Fontana and certain entities investing in Langhorne Holdings LLC. Managed funds include Upsilon Fund and Medici. Structured reinsurance products and other includes certain reinsurance contracts and certain other vehicles through which we transfer risk to third-party capital.

In the third quarter of 2023, total fee income earned through third-party capital management activities increased $38.8 million, to $64.6 million, compared to $25.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, due to higher management and performance fee income in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. Management fee income increased $19.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2022, driven by increased capital managed at DaVinci, Vermeer, and Medici, the increase in premium in Fontana, as well as the recording of management fees in DaVinci that were previously deferred as a result of the weather-related large losses experienced in prior years, as compared to the deferral of management fees in the third quarter of 2022, as a result of the weather-related large losses.

Performance fee income increased $19.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2022, driven by current underwriting year results.

The fees earned through third-party capital management activities are principally recorded through redeemable noncontrolling interest, or as an increase to underwriting income (reduction to underwriting loss), through a decrease in operating expenses or acquisition expenses. Below is a summary of the impact of fee income on the applicable financial statement line items.

The $6.9 million includes $10.9 million of management fee income, recorded as a reduction to operating expenses and $4.0 million of performance fee income recorded as an increase to acquisition expenses (2022 - $11.4 million, $11.4 million and a reduction of $39 thousand, respectively).

In addition to the $64.6 million of fee income earned through our third-party capital management activities described above, we earned additional fees of $21.6 million on other underwriting-related activities, primarily related to expense overrides paid to us by our reinsurers. These additional fees on other underwriting-related activities are recorded as a reduction to operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as applicable. The total fees recorded through underwriting income (loss) are detailed in the table below.

Net investment income was $329.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $157.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $171.3 million. This increase was primarily driven by higher average invested assets and higher yielding assets in the fixed maturity, short term and catastrophe bond portfolios.

We structure our investment portfolio to emphasize the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet our claims obligations, to be well diversified across market sectors, and to generate relatively attractive returns on a risk-adjusted basis over time. A large majority of our investments are invested in the fixed income markets and, therefore, our realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are highly correlated to fluctuations in interest rates. As interest rates decline, we tend to have net realized and unrealized gains from our investment portfolio, and as interest rates rise, we tend to have net realized and unrealized losses from our investment portfolio.

Net realized and unrealized losses on investments were $228.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $641.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. Impacting our net realized and unrealized losses on investments in the third quarter of 2023 were:

•net realized and unrealized losses on fixed maturity investments trading of $279.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $424.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, driven by interest rate increases in each period, but which were generally lower in the third quarter of 2023;

•net realized and unrealized gains on investment-related derivatives of $30.6 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $55.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. Current quarter gains were driven by short interest rate future positions benefiting from interest rate increases, while long interest rate and equity futures were negatively impacted by U.S. treasury rate increases and equity market declines in the third quarter of 2022; and

•net realized and unrealized gains on catastrophe bonds of $32.5 million, compared to net losses of $127.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. The net realized and unrealized gains and losses are primarily reflected in the Medici portfolio, and predominantly attributable to third party investors allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest. Net realized and unrealized gains in the third quarter of 2023 were the result of the tightening of risk spreads in the wider catastrophe bond market, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, when there was a widening of risk spreads.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)

(in thousands)
Net foreign exchange gains (losses)	$	(25,886)	$	(1,383)	$	(24,503)

In the third quarter of 2023, net foreign exchange losses were $25.9 million compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. The net foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022 were primarily driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici which are allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We routinely write a portion of our business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and invest a portion of our cash and investment portfolio in those currencies. We are primarily impacted by foreign currency exposures associated with our underwriting operations and our investment portfolio, and may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.

Refer to “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information related to our exposure to foreign currency risk and “Note 13. Derivative Instruments” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to foreign currency forward and option contracts we have entered into.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Other Ventures

Tower Hill Companies	$	6,846	$	194	$	6,652
Top Layer	3,324		1,686		1,638
Other	672		(141)		813
Total equity in earnings (losses) of other ventures	$	10,842	$	1,739	$	9,103

Equity in earnings of other ventures represents our pro-rata share of the net income from our investments in the Tower Hill Companies, Top Layer, and our equity investments in a select group of insurance and insurance-related companies, which are included in Other. Except for Top Layer, which is recorded on a current quarter basis, equity in earnings of other ventures is recorded one quarter in arrears. The carrying value of these investments on our consolidated balance sheets, individually or in the aggregate, may differ from the realized value we may ultimately attain, perhaps significantly so.

Earnings from our investments in other ventures were $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $9.1 million. The increase was principally driven by increased profitability of our equity investments during the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the Tower Hill Companies, which reported a higher underwriting income in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Corporate Expenses



Three months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Corporate expenses	$	17,143	$	10,384	$	6,759

Corporate expenses include certain executive, director, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company, as well as costs incurred in connection with the Validus Acquisition. From time to time, we may revise the allocation of certain expenses between corporate and operating expenses to better reflect the characteristic of the underlying expense. Corporate expenses were $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $6.8 million which was primarily driven by expenses

associated with the Validus Acquisition. We expect to incur additional costs and expenses associated with the Validus Acquisition. These additional non-recurring costs may be significant, and it is possible that our ultimate costs will exceed our current estimates.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

(in thousands)
Income tax benefit (expense)	$	(9,295)	$	(2,814)	$	(6,481)

We recognized an income tax expense of $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to an income tax expense of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by increased operating income partially offset by investment losses in our taxable jurisdictions in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the comparative quarter.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests



Three months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change

Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	$	213,695	$	(372,429)	$	586,124

Our net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $213.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to a loss of $372.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, a change of $586.1 million. This increase was primarily due to the following:

•DaVinci, which had net income in the third quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss in the second quarter of 2022, primarily resulting from a lower impact from the 2023 Large Loss Events as compared to the Q3 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, as well as lower realized and unrealized losses in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to the third quarter of 2022;

•Medici, which had net income in the third quarter of 2023 due to realized and unrealized gains on its catastrophe bond portfolio, in addition to increased net investment income; and

•Vermeer, which had net income in the third quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss in the third quarter of 2022, primarily resulting from higher net investment income and improved underwriting results, which were impacted by the Q3 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses in the prior year.

As a result of our net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of 22.1% and our book value per common share increased from $104.65 at December 31, 2022 to $133.63 at September 30, 2023, a 28.8% increase, after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.

The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, on a comparative basis to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, include:

•Underwriting Results - we generated underwriting income of $1.1 billion and had a combined ratio of 78.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to an underwriting loss of $166.5 million and a combined ratio of 103.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our underwriting income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated underwriting income of $935.7 million in and had a combined ratio of 57.6%, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $170.7 million in and had a combined ratio of 94.3%. In comparison, our underwriting loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated an underwriting loss of $273.3 million and had a combined ratio of 113.1%, partially offset by our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $106.9 million and had a combined ratio of 95.9%;

Included in our underwriting results in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was the impact of the 2023 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $253.6 million and added 5.0 percentage points to the combined ratio, all within in our Property segment. In comparison, our underwriting results in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were impacted by the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $1.1 billion and added 23.9 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in our Property segment;

•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written decreased by $567.9 million, or 7.4%, to $7.1 billion, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This was comprised of a decrease of $423.6 million in our Casualty and Specialty segment, driven by the lower impact of positive adjustments to premium estimates for business underwritten in prior years, in addition to a decrease of $144.3 million in our Property segment;

•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, was income of $704.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $1.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.3 billion. The primary drivers of the improved total investment result were an improvement in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments of $1.8 billion, driven by lower interest rate increases in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and increased net investment income of $527.5 million, driven by higher average invested assets and higher yielding assets;

•Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $656.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $335.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by underwriting income generated by DaVinci and Vermeer, net investment income resulting from higher interest rates and yields within the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds, and net realized and unrealized gains on catastrophe bonds held in Medici;

•Impact of Large Loss Events - we had a net negative impact on net income attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $180.0 million resulting from the 2023 Large Loss Events. This compares to a net negative impact on net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $722.1 million resulting from the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses and $25.0 million resulting from losses related to the Russia-Ukraine War in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Property Gross Premiums Written

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Property segment gross premiums written decreased by $144.3 million, or 4.3%, to $3.2 billion, compared to $3.4 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $2.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $10.5 million, or 0.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was principally driven by rate improvements on deals written in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was largely offset by a decrease in gross reinstatement premiums of $256.5 million, as well as a reduction in premiums due to the non-renewal of deals written in Upsilon RFO of $269.7 million.

Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $1.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $154.8 million, or 12.1%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in gross premiums written in the other property class of business was principally due to the non-renewal of certain catastrophe exposed quota share programs that did not meet our return hurdles.

Property Ceded Premiums Written



Nine months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Ceded premiums written	$	608,461	$	887,498	$	(279,037)

The decrease in ceded premiums written was driven by a reduction in ceded reinstatement premiums of $71.5 million, as well as a reduction of $238.8 million in premiums ceded to Upsilon RFO following a reduction in the size of Upsilon Diversified, a segregated account of Upsilon Fund, with a corresponding decrease in gross premiums written, as discussed above, partially offset by a slight increase in overall ceded premiums written due to higher levels of retrocessional purchases as a part of our gross-to-net strategy.

Property Net Premiums Written



Nine months ended September 30,	2023		2022		Change
(in thousands)
Net premiums written	$	2,609,356	$	2,474,661	$	134,695

Net premiums written in our Property segment were $2.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $134.7 million, or 5.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net premiums written was driven by rate improvements on deals written in our catastrophe class of business in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by a decrease in net reinstatement premiums of $190.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Property Underwriting Results

Our Property segment generated underwriting income of $935.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $273.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase in underwriting income of $1.2 billion. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Property segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 30.6%, an underwriting expense ratio of 27.0% and a combined ratio of 57.6%, compared to 86.7%, 26.4% and 113.1%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Impacting the Property segment underwriting result and combined ratio in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were the 2023 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $253.6 million and added 12.5 percentage points to its combined ratio. In comparison, the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was impacted by the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $1.1 billion and added 55.5 percentage points to the combined ratio.

The net claims and claim expense ratio of 30.6% is comprised of a current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio of 42.3% and 11.7 percentage points of net favorable development on prior accident years. In comparison, the nine months ended September 30, 2022 had a net claims and claim expense ratio of 86.7%, comprised of a current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio of 90.3% and 3.6 percentage points of net favorable development on prior accident years.

The underwriting expense ratio increased 0.6 percentage points, largely driven by a reduced benefit in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from net reinstatement premiums as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Casualty and Specialty Gross Premiums Written

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Casualty and Specialty segment gross premiums written decreased by $423.6 million, or 9.9%, to $3.8 billion, compared to $4.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting decreases in the casualty classes of business, principally in professional liability, and a decrease within the credit class of business. These decreases were partially offset by growth in the other specialty class of business. The increase in gross premiums written within other specialty was driven by increases in new and existing business underwritten in the current and prior periods.

The overall decrease in gross premiums written was largely driven by the lower impact of positive adjustments to premium estimates for business underwritten in prior years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, gross premiums written included positive changes in premium estimates of $49.1 million mainly on business underwritten in 2022 and prior years, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which included $411.4 million principally on business underwritten in 2021 and prior years. These changes in premium estimates occurred across all classes of business, but principally in professional liability class, and is mainly reflective of the positive rate environment experienced in recent prior periods.

Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results

Our Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $170.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $106.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 63.6%, an underwriting expense ratio of 30.7% and a combined ratio of 94.3%, compared to 65.1%, 30.8% and 95.9%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The improvement in the Casualty and Specialty segment combined ratio in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 94.3% was principally driven by a decrease of 1.5 percentage points in the net claims and claim expense ratio, primarily as a result of lower current accident year attritional losses from a shift in mix of business toward specialty lines which carry lower expected attritional loss ratios. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 our Casualty and Specialty segment also experienced net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses of $37.6 million, or 1.3 percentage points, compared to $16.6 million, or 0.7 percentage points during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net favorable development during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses from our other specialty and credit lines of business, while the net favorable development during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was largely driven by our credit lines of business.

The increase in management fee income of $45.9 million reflected increased capital managed at DaVinci, Vermeer, and Medici, the increase in premium in Fontana, as well as the recording of management fees in DaVinci that were previously deferred as a result of the weather-related large losses experienced in prior years, as compared to the deferral of management fees during 2022, as a result of the weather-related large losses.

Performance fee income increased $31.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by favorable current year underwriting results.

•net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity investments trading of $286.1 million compared to losses of $1.4 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an improvement of $1.2 billion, driven by interest rate increases in each period, but which were generally lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2023;

•net realized and unrealized gains on catastrophe bonds of $94.8 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $159.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net realized and unrealized gains and losses are primarily reflected in the Medici portfolio, and predominantly attributable to third party investors allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest. Net realized and unrealized gains in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were the result of the tightening of risk spreads in the wider catastrophe bond market, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, when there was a widening of risk spreads;

•net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments of $34.5 million compared to net losses of $183.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an improvement of $218.0 million. Both the current and comparative equity investment results were in line with wider equity market movements. We reduced our exposure to public equities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, meaning net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments were less prominent in 2023; and

•net realized and unrealized losses on investment-related derivatives of $22.3 million, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $161.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Current period losses were driven by coupon payments on credit default swaps to hedge credit risk, while long interest rate and equity futures were negatively impacted by U.S. treasury rate increases and equity market declines in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)

(in thousands)
Net foreign exchange gains (losses)	$	(53,877)	$	(67,690)	$	13,813

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net foreign exchange losses were $53.9 million compared to $67.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The net foreign exchange losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici which are allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, and the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to our underwriting activities.

(in thousands)
Corporate expenses	$	53,357	$	35,238	$	18,119

Corporate expenses increased $18.1 million to $53.4 million, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $35.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the Validus Acquisition.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

(in thousands)
Income tax benefit (expense)	$	(44,139)	$	64,427	$	(108,566)

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an income tax expense of $44.1 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $64.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The income tax expense was primarily driven by operating income in our taxable jurisdictions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was driven by investment losses and lower operating income primarily in our taxable jurisdictions.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	$	655,986	$	(335,010)	$	990,996

Our net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $656.0 million compared to a net loss of $335.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $991.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by the following:

•DaVinci, which had net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily resulting from lower realized and unrealized losses on investments in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the prior year, driven by the decrease in interest rates discussed previously, higher net investment income, as well as improved underwriting results in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

•Medici, which had net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to realized and unrealized gains on its catastrophe bond portfolio, in addition to increased net investment income. This compares to net losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by realized and unrealized losses on its catastrophe bond portfolio;

•Vermeer, which had higher net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily resulting from higher net investment income and improved underwriting results; and

•Fontana, which had net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increased net investment income driven by higher yielding assets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Condition

As a Bermuda-domiciled holding company, RenaissanceRe has limited operations of its own. Its assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries and cash and securities in amounts which fluctuate over time. We therefore rely on dividends and distributions (and other statutorily permissible payments) from our subsidiaries, investment income and fee income to meet our liquidity requirements, which primarily include making principal and interest payments on our debt and dividend payments to our preference and common shareholders.

The payment of dividends by our subsidiaries is, under certain circumstances, limited by the applicable laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. In addition, insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity. We believe that each of our insurance subsidiaries and branches exceeded the minimum solvency, capital and surplus requirements in their applicable jurisdictions at September 30, 2023. Certain of our subsidiaries and branches are required to file FCRs with their regulators, which provide details on solvency and financial performance. Where required, these FCRs will be posted on our website. The regulations governing our and our principal operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity, and requirements to file FCRs are discussed in detail in “Part I, Item 1. Business, Regulation” and “Note 17. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Holding Company Liquidity

RenaissanceRe’s principal uses of liquidity are: (1) common share related transactions including dividend payments to our common shareholders and common share repurchases, (2) preference share related transactions including dividend payments to our preference shareholders and preference share redemptions, (3) interest and principal payments on debt, (4) capital investments in our subsidiaries, (5) acquisition of, or investments in, new or existing companies or books of business of other companies, such as our acquisition of Validus, and (6) certain corporate and operating expenses.

We attempt to structure our organization in a way that facilitates efficient capital movements between RenaissanceRe and our operating subsidiaries and to ensure that adequate liquidity is available when required, giving consideration to applicable laws and regulations, and the domiciliary location of sources of liquidity and related obligations. For example, our internal investment structures and cash pooling arrangements among the Company and certain of our subsidiaries help to efficiently facilitate capital and liquidity movements.

In the aggregate, our principal operating subsidiaries have historically produced sufficient cash flows to meet their expected claims payments and operational expenses and to provide dividend payments to us. In addition, our subsidiaries maintain a concentration of investments in high quality liquid securities, which management believes will provide additional liquidity for extraordinary claims payments should the need arise. However, in some circumstances, RenaissanceRe may determine it is necessary or advisable to contribute capital to our subsidiaries, or may be contractually required to contribute capital to our joint ventures or managed funds. For example, in 2022, RenaissanceRe contributed capital to RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. to support growth in premiums. In addition, from time to time we invest in new managed joint ventures or managed funds, increase our investments in certain of our managed joint ventures or managed funds and contribute cash to investment subsidiaries. For instance, effective April 1, 2022, RenaissanceRe launched Fontana, an innovative joint venture dedicated to writing Casualty and Specialty risks. In certain instances, we may be required to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries or joint ventures or managed funds, for example, Renaissance Reinsurance is obligated to make a mandatory capital contribution of up to $50.0 million in the event that a loss reduces Top Layer’s capital below a specified level.

Sources of Liquidity

Historically, cash receipts from operations, consisting primarily of premiums, investment income and fee income, have provided sufficient funds to pay the losses and operating expenses incurred by our subsidiaries and to fund dividends and distributions to RenaissanceRe. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.

The premiums received by our operating subsidiaries are generally received months or even years before losses are paid under the policies related to such premiums. Premiums and acquisition expenses generally are received within the first two years of inception of a contract, while operating expenses are generally paid within a year of being incurred. It generally takes much longer for net claims and claims expenses incurred to be reported and ultimately settled, requiring the establishment of reserves for claims and claim expenses and losses recoverable. Therefore, the amount of net claims paid in any one year is not necessarily related to the amount of net claims and claims expenses incurred in that year, as reported in the consolidated statement of operations.

We expect that our liquidity needs for the next 12 months will be met by our cash receipts from operations. However, as a result of a combination of market conditions, turnover of our investment portfolios and changes in investment yields, and the nature of our business where a large portion of the coverages we provide can produce losses of high severity and low frequency, future cash flows from operating activities cannot be accurately predicted and may fluctuate significantly between individual quarters and years. In addition, due to the magnitude and complexity of certain large loss events, meaningful uncertainty remains regarding losses from these events and our actual ultimate net losses from these events may vary materially from preliminary estimates, which would impact our cash flows from operations.

Our “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act allows for the public offering of various types of securities, including common shares, preference shares and debt securities, which provides a source of liquidity. Because we are a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, we are also eligible to file additional automatically effective registration statements on Form S-3 in the future for the potential offering and sale of additional debt and equity securities.

Credit Facilities, Trusts and Other Collateral Arrangements

We also maintain various other arrangements that allow us to access liquidity and satisfy collateral requirements, including revolving credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and regulatory trusts, as well as other types of trust and collateral arrangements. Regulatory and other requirements to post collateral to support our reinsurance obligations could impact our liquidity. For example, many jurisdictions in the U.S. do not permit insurance companies to take credit for reinsurance obtained from unlicensed or non-admitted insurers on their statutory financial statements unless security is posted, so our contracts generally require us to post a letter of credit or provide other security (such as through a multi-beneficiary reinsurance trust). However, certain of our subsidiaries qualify as certified reinsurers or reciprocal reinsurers in one or more U.S. states, which has, and may continue to, reduce the amount of collateral that we are required to post. In addition, if we were to fail to comply with certain covenants in our debt agreements, we may have to pledge additional collateral.

Letter of Credit and Revolving Credit Facilities

We and certain of our subsidiaries, joint ventures, and managed funds maintain secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities and letter of credit facilities that provide liquidity and allow us to satisfy certain collateral requirements. The outstanding amounts drawn under each of our significant credit facilities are set forth below:

Funds at Lloyd’s

As a member of Lloyd’s, the underwriting capacity, or stamp capacity, of Syndicate 1458 must be supported by providing a deposit, the FAL, in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit. At September 30, 2023, the FAL required to support the underwriting activities at Lloyd’s through Syndicate 1458 was £686.3 million (December 31, 2022 - £986.8 million). Actual FAL posted for Syndicate 1458 at September 30, 2023 by RenaissanceRe Corporate Capital (UK) Limited was $887.8 million (December 31, 2022 - $1.0 billion), supported by a $275.0 million letter of credit and a $612.8 million deposit of cash and fixed maturity securities (December 31, 2022 - $275.0 million and $737.6 million, respectively). Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to this letter of credit facility.

Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts, Multi-Beneficiary Reduced Collateral Reinsurance Trusts

Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci Reinsurance and RREAG, use multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and/or multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts to collateralize reinsurance liabilities. As described below, as of September 30, 2023, all of these trusts were funded in accordance with the relevant regulatory

thresholds. However, assets held in these trusts may exceed the amount required under U.S. state regulations. Refer to “Note 17. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information on our multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts.

Assets held under trust at September 30, 2023 with respect to our multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts totaled $572.7 million and $167.3 million for Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci, respectively (December 31, 2022 - $633.7 million and $255.6 million, respectively), compared to the minimum amount required under U.S. state regulations of $405.0 million and $125.9 million, respectively, at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $511.4 million and $200.1 million, respectively).

Assets held under trust at September 30, 2023 with respect to our multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts totaled $173.0 million, $206.0 million, and $101.1 million for Renaissance Reinsurance, DaVinci and RREAG respectively (December 31, 2022 - $172.7 million, $211.0 million and $106.5 million respectively), compared to the minimum amount required under U.S. state regulations of $118.9 million, $127.5 million and $76.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2022 - $146.1 million, $174.7 million and $98.3 million respectively).

Contractual Obligations

In assessing our liquidity requirements and cash needs, we also consider contractual obligations to which we are a party. These contractual obligations are summarized in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations as disclosed in the table of contractual obligations and related footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as described below (including under “Impact of Validus Acquisition on Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

On June 5, 2023, we issued $750.0 million of our 5.750% Senior Notes due 2033. See “Note 15. Acquisition of Validus” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” and below under the heading “Impact of Validus Acquisition on Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding the Validus Acquisition.

•an increase in premiums receivable of $789.3 million due to the timing of receipts and an increase in our gross premiums written;

•a decrease in reinsurance balances payable of $604.7 million, principally driven by the timing of payments related to underwriting activity and the redemption of capital from Upsilon RFO; partially offset by

•an increase in unearned premiums of $663.4 million due to gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;

•a decrease in reinsurance recoverable of $457.7 million due to the decrease in recoverables associated with 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses; and

Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net loss of $1.9 billion to net cash provided by operating activities, including:

•an increase in reserve for claims and claim expenses of $2.4 billion primarily resulting from net claims and claim expenses associated with the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses;

•net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $1.8 billion primarily driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses resulting from the significant increase in interest rates;

•an increase in unearned premiums of $1.5 billion due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;

•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $297.6 million principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See

“Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares; partially offset by

•an increase in premiums receivable of $1.7 billion due to the timing of receipts and increase in our gross premiums written;

•an increase in reinsurance recoverable of $700.6 million due to the increase in net claims and claim expenses and recoverables associated with the 2022 Weather-Related Large Losses; and

•an increase of $378.8 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to the timing of payments.

Cash flows used in investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our cash flows used in investing activities were $1.8 billion, principally reflecting net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading of $1.4 billion, equity investments trading of $337.1 million, and other investments of $452.4 million, partially offset by cash flow from net sales of short term investments of $365.8 million.

•net inflows of $477.7 million primarily related to net third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in Medici, DaVinci and Fontana; partially offset by

•the repurchase of 1.1 million of our common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $162.8 million and an average price of $155.00 per common share; and

•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $48.6 million and $26.6 million, respectively.

Capital Resources

We monitor our capital adequacy on a regular basis and seek to adjust our capital according to the needs of our business. In particular, we require capital sufficient to meet or exceed the capital adequacy ratios established by rating agencies for maintenance of appropriate financial strength ratings, the capital adequacy tests performed by regulatory authorities and the capital requirements under our credit facilities. From time to time, rating agencies may make changes in their capital models and rating methodologies, which could increase the amount of capital required to support our ratings. We may seek to raise additional capital or return capital to our shareholders through common share repurchases and cash dividends (or a combination of such methods). In the normal course of our operations, we may from time to time evaluate additional share or debt issuances given prevailing market conditions and capital management strategies, including for our operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds. In addition, as noted above, we enter into agreements with financial institutions to obtain letter of credit facilities for the benefit of our operating subsidiaries and certain of our joint ventures and managed funds in their reinsurance and insurance business.

Total debt	$	1,882,893	$	1,170,442	$	712,451

Our shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe increased $2.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 principally as a result of:

•the sale of 7,245,000 common shares at the public offering price of $192.00 per share for total net proceeds of approximately $1,352.0 million, which were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Validus Acquisition subsequent to September 30, 2023, and to pay related costs and expenses, and for general corporate purposes, and

•our comprehensive income attributable to RenaissanceRe of $976.6 million; partially offset by

•$55.2 million and $26.5 million of dividends on our common and preference shares, respectively.

Our total debt increased by $712.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 principally as a result of the issuance of $750.0 million of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2033. The net proceeds of

approximately $741.0 million were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Validus Acquisition subsequent to September 30, 2023, and to pay related costs and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. See “Note 15. Acquisition of Validus” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Validus Acquisition. The increase from the net proceeds was partially offset by the repayment of the Medici Revolving Credit Facility of $30.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For additional information related to the terms of our debt and significant credit facilities, see “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q and “Note 8. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. See “Note 10.

Impact of Validus Acquisition on Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 1, 2023, the Company completed the Validus Acquisition and paid to AIG aggregate consideration of $2.985 billion, consisting of the following: (i) cash consideration of $2.735 billion; and (ii) 1,322,541 common shares, which were valued at approximately $250.0 million based on a value of $189.03 per share at signing, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Base Common Share Consideration”). We funded the cash consideration paid by RenaissanceRe from available cash resources and the liquidation of certain of our fixed maturity investments trading. We also funded a portion of the cash consideration with the net proceeds received of approximately $1,352.0 million from the equity offering completed on May 26, 2023, and the net proceeds received of approximately $741.0 million from the offering of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2033 completed on June 5, 2023. The proceeds of the equity offering and Senior Notes were invested in U.S. Treasuries and short term investments, and converted to cash around the time of the closing of the Validus Acquisition to fund the total cash consideration equal to $2.735 billion.

We incurred $14.7 million of corporate expenses associated with the Validus Acquisition in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and expect to incur additional costs and expenses associated with the Validus Acquisition over the course of 2023. These additional one time costs may be significant, and it is possible that our ultimate costs will exceed our current estimates.

Following the close of the transaction, we continue to anticipate that our operating subsidiaries will have adequate capital resources and sufficient cash flows to meet their expected claims payments and operational expenses and to provide dividend payments and other similar distributions to RenaissanceRe and that we will have adequate capital resources, or access to capital resources, to meet our obligations, including dividend payments to our common and preferred shareholders, interest payments on our senior notes and other liabilities, as they come due.

See “Note 15. Acquisition of Validus” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Validus Stock Purchase.

Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses

We believe the most significant accounting judgment made by management is our estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts we sell. Our actual net claims and claim expenses paid will differ, perhaps materially, from the estimates reflected in our financial statements, which may adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.

Refer to “Note 7. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” included herein for more information on the risks we insure and reinsure, the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, prior year development of the reserve for claims and claim expenses, analysis of our incurred and paid claims development and claims duration information for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. In addition, refer to “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates, Claims and Claim Expense Reserves” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information on the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, our current estimates versus our initial estimates of our claims reserves, and sensitivity analysis for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments.

(1)Corporate fixed maturity investments include non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments.

We structure our investment portfolio to emphasize the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet our claims obligations, to be well diversified across market sectors, and to generate relatively attractive returns on a risk-adjusted basis over time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our investments are subject to market-wide risks and fluctuations, as well as to risks inherent in particular securities. For additional information regarding our investments and the fair value measurement of our investments refer to “Note 3. Investments” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.”

As the reinsurance coverages we sell include substantial protection for damages resulting from natural and man-made catastrophes, as well as for potentially large casualty and specialty exposures, we expect, from time to time, to become liable for substantial claim payments on short notice. Accordingly, our investment portfolio as a whole is structured to seek to preserve capital and provide a high level of liquidity, which means that the large majority of our investments are highly rated fixed income securities, including U.S. treasuries, agencies, highly rated sovereign and supranational securities, high-grade corporate securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. We also have an allocation to publicly traded equities reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as equity investments and an allocation to other investments (including catastrophe bonds, fund investments, term loans and direct private equity investments).

We account for our other investments at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments. The fair value of our fund investments, which include private equity funds, private credit funds and hedge funds, is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in other investments, and is generally established on the basis of the net asset value per share (or its equivalent), determined by the managers of these investments in accordance with the applicable governing documents. Many of our fund investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales which limit our ability to liquidate these investments in the short term.

Our fund managers and their fund administrators are generally unable to provide final fund valuations as of our current reporting date. We typically experience a reporting lag to receive a final net asset value report of one month for our hedge funds and three months for both private equity funds and private credit funds, although we have occasionally experienced delays of up to six months, particularly at year end. In circumstances where there is a reporting lag, we estimate the fair value of these funds by starting with the prior month or quarter-end fund valuation, adjusting these valuations for actual capital calls, redemptions or distributions, as well as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and then estimating the return for the current period. This principally includes using preliminary estimates reported to us by our fund managers where available, and estimating returns based on the performance of broad market indices, or other valuation methods. Actual final fund valuations may differ, perhaps materially, from our estimates and these differences are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they are reported to us as a change in estimate. A net loss of $3.0 million is recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (2022 - net income of $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022), representing the change in estimate during the period related to the difference between our estimate recorded on December 31, 2022 (2022 - December 31, 2021), due to the lag in reporting discussed above, and the actual amount reported in the final net asset values provided by our fund managers in the current year.

Our estimate of the fair value of catastrophe bonds is based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications. Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the fair value measurement of our investments.

We have committed capital to fund investments, term loans, direct private equity investments and investments in other ventures of $3.3 billion, of which $1.8 billion has been contributed at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $2.9 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively). Our remaining commitments to these investments at September 30, 2023 totaled $1.5 billion (December 31, 2022 - $1.2 billion). In the future, we may enter into additional commitments in respect of these investments or individual portfolio company investment opportunities.

Ratings

Financial strength ratings are important to the competitive position of reinsurance and insurance companies. We have received high long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings and scores from A.M. Best, S&P, Moody’s and Fitch as applicable. These ratings represent independent opinions of an insurer’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet policyholder obligations, and are not an evaluation directed toward the protection of investors or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities. Rating organizations continually review the financial positions of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and ratings may be revised or revoked by the agencies which issue them. Additionally, rating organizations may change their rating methodology, which could have a material impact on our financial strength ratings.

In addition, S&P and A.M. Best assess companies’ ERM practices, which is an opinion on the many critical dimensions of risk that determine overall creditworthiness. RenaissanceRe has been assigned an ERM score of “Very Strong” from each of these agencies, which is the highest ERM score assigned.

The ratings of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and the ERM score of RenaissanceRe as of October 30, 2023 are presented below.

CURRENT OUTLOOK

Over the last 10 years, we have made key strategic decisions to build the capabilities and scale that we believe will allow us to generate superior returns in an evolving marketplace. We have diversified our sources of capital through various owned and managed balance sheets as well as equity, debt and insurance-linked securities markets. We believe that the prior planning initiatives we implemented provide the flexibility to manage large loss events and efficiently distribute capital across balance sheets. We are unique among our peers in that we have both owned and managed, and rated and fronted, vehicles across the risks that we write. This has afforded us significant flexibility to react when the world changes.

Validus Acquisition

On November 1, 2023, we completed the Validus Acquisition, accelerating our strategy at a critical juncture in the reinsurance cycle. We believe that the Validus Acquisition has several significant strategic benefits for us, and advances our position as a global property and casualty reinsurer, providing additional scale and diversification, and increasing our importance with customers and brokers. Through the Validus Acquisition, we have gained access to a large book of reinsurance business that is closely aligned with our existing business mix, which we believe is attractive and will accelerate our growth in a favorable market.

We believe that the Validus Acquisition is immediately accretive to our shareholders across our three drivers of profit and key financial metrics. At the same time, we have expanded our relationship with a core trading partner, AIG, who is one of our five largest clients by premium volume, as the Validus Acquisition provides options for increased strategic engagement. We have a dedicated integration team that has reviewed Validus’s operating model, processes and systems so that we can best bring together the operations of our two companies.

Reinsurance Market Trends and Developments

Over the course of 2023, we have seen a shift in the reinsurance market environment that we think has inured to our benefit. We believe we have created significant opportunities to source attractive risk in the lines of business that we write, and that such opportunities will result in superior returns for our shareholders. Overall, the shift in the reinsurance market environment has resulted in an increase in rates across certain lines of business at the January 1, April 1 and June 1 renewals.

Industry insured losses in 2023 are likely to once again exceed $100 billion, and inflation, climate change and geopolitical instability have continued to drive exposure. At the same time, we have seen little new capital enter the market, putting even more pressure on the demand for reinsurance.

As we head into the January 1 renewals, we believe that we are in a favorable position. Over the past year we achieved a significant step change in property catastrophe rates and terms and conditions. We think that this will result in further alignment between customer expectations and the market moving into the January 1 renewals. We believe that we have a robust excess capital position, which we may utilize to meet the demand that we foresee in the market at the January 1 renewals. Additionally, the Validus Business affords us considerable flexibility to remain disciplined.

We believe that our understanding of volatility places us in a preferred position to accept risk, and we continue to see strong opportunities for growth across our portfolio. We have a strategic commitment to reinsurance that we think enhances our value proposition to customers because our reinsurance participation is consistent and broad, and our focus on reinsurance minimizes potential channel conflict with our customers. This commitment is only reinforced by the Validus Acquisition.

We are uniquely positioned to write a variety of risks, leveraging the enhancements we have made over the last several years to our risk and capital management technology and underwriting expertise to cover additional lines of business. In particular, we have invested heavily to understand the influence of climate change on the weather and its impact on the risks that we take. We believe that the RenaissanceRe Risk Sciences team gives us an advantage in properly reflecting the evolving phenomenon of climate change in

103

our models as compared to commercially available models. Our scientists and underwriters have consistently adjusted our global views of risk to consider our present and future expectations of hazard and loss drivers from all sources including, but not limited to climate change, inflation and other factors. We plan to continue to seek to take advantage of additional available opportunities and think that the strategic decisions we have made in prior periods have laid the foundation for these initiatives. We believe that our clients value our ability to be a long-term partner who brings access to multiple forms of capital and innovative, large-scale solutions.

General Economic Conditions

We believe the stresses in the global economy will continue and that this may result in increased market volatility. Global events and geopolitical instability have contributed to widespread economic inflation. We consider the anticipated effects of inflation, including social, economic, and event-driven, in our loss models, on our investment portfolio, and generally in the running of our business, and have enhanced our inflation framework to proactively monitor this trend.

Many central banks have raised interest rates, which could act as a countervailing force against some inflationary pressures. The effects of interest rate trends on our reinsurance and insurance business could be magnified for longer-tail business lines that are more inflation-sensitive, particularly in our Casualty and Specialty segment, and in our other property class of business within our Property segment.

The risk of a global recession is a continuing concern. However, we believe that our business model is well positioned to be less sensitive to an inflationary or recessionary environment. This type of environment may increase demand for reinsurance by reducing the supply and increasing the cost of capital, and adjusting customers’ risk tolerances. Consequently, reinsurance rates may rise while becoming more competitive as compared to other forms of risk capital. Notwithstanding the many uncertainties and challenges that lie ahead, we believe that our track record of responding to industry events, differentiated risk management and client service capabilities, and access to diverse sources of both capital and risk position us favorably in the current environment.

In the third quarter of 2023, the government of Bermuda announced its intention to implement a 15% corporate income tax effective January 1, 2025. If this occurs, and if the OECD's Pillar Two regime is implemented in the jurisdictions in which we operate, there may be an increase in the Company's income taxes in the future. We believe that the flexible global operating model that we have utilized will continue to prove resilient.

Three Drivers of Profit

We had strong overall performance in the third quarter of 2023, reflecting solid contributions from each of our three drivers of profit. This performance was a reflection of our strategy of generating diversified earnings streams for our business across underwriting income, fee income and investment income. Our strong financial results were obtained even with catastrophe losses and the impact of the financial drag from the capital that we raised to fund the Validus Acquisition.

Underwriting Income

Through disciplined underwriting, we aim to manage the cycle and allocate our capital to the business that we believe will generate the best returns. In the third quarter of 2023, our gross premiums written decreased as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of lower reinstatement premiums, non-recurring deals, and active cycle management.

We have been engaging with our customers and brokers on the Validus Acquisition, and have received consistently positive feedback. We believe that through our integrated system, and with the support of our Capital Partners unit, we can support the Validus Business underwriting portfolio using less capital than Validus required, making it more attractive to us.

104

Property

With the global impact of climate change, we expect the frequency and severity of perils such as drought, flood, rain, hail and wildfire to continue at the elevated levels we have seen in recent years. So far, in 2023, we have seen catastrophe activity that is above the norm. We think that expected losses, cost of capital and inherent volatility in this business are all increasing, which should create favorable pricing trends. As anticipated, the mid-year renewals benefited from continued upward rate momentum and improved terms and conditions. We expect that higher rates will persist for some time as we believe that the current hard market is being driven by equity and insurance-linked securities investor sentiment requiring appropriate compensation for the risk and volatility assumed.

Our Property segment had strong performance this quarter even against a backdrop of continuing catastrophe activity. Due to the underwriting changes we made during the course of the year, including requiring higher rates and attachment points, this catastrophe activity had a smaller impact on our financial results than it otherwise may have. In line with previous quarters, we have continued to reduce risk in the other property business.

Casualty and Specialty

We continue to see opportunities across multiple lines of business and geographies within our Casualty and Specialty segment, and we have expanded participation on multiple casualty and specialty lines. However, different lines of business are at different points in their respective cycles, and we have been managing these cycles through strong underwriting discipline.

Overall, we are pleased with the position of this portfolio. We think that our prior work building strong relationships with key customers has allowed us to gain superior access to desirable business. We have focused our growth in attractive areas while reducing on deals that do not meet our return hurdles. As a result, growth in the other specialty class of business was offset by reductions in the professional liability class of business. This is the positive result of portfolio shaping to emphasize classes with the most attractive returns while managing the cycle where returns are more challenged.

Fee Income

Our Capital Partners unit continues to grow into an attractive market. The financial results for the third quarter of 2023 reflect the increase in capital that our Capital Partners unit manages on behalf our partners, as well as strong underwriting results.

We view this as a growing and sustainable driver of profit that we expect will continue to generate increasing low-volatility management fee income. As the catastrophe bond market remains active, we have seen strong capital inflows into Medici and other catastrophe bond vehicles from both new and existing investors. We continue to deepen our relationship with AIG, and remain on track for them to make a significant investment in our Capital Partners business.

Investment Income

Historic increases in interest rates have driven significant short-term mark-to-market losses in our investment portfolio. However, we continue to see momentum for an increase in net investment income from our investment portfolio as interest rates have risen.

We are benefiting from higher interest rates and growth in this driver of profit as a result of our proactive rotation of the portfolio into higher yielding securities over the past year. However, we continue to maintain a defensive position for our investment portfolio. In the third quarter of 2023, we benefited from higher invested assets related to the capital that we raised to fund the Validus Acquisition.

105

With the close of the Validus Acquisition, we obtained a large investment portfolio that supports a pool of reserves to which we anticipate having limited exposure due to our reserve development agreement with AIG. As a result, we expect this to contribute to our investment income in future periods.

See the “Risk Factors” section in our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 8, 2023, and Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information on factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the SEC.

106

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are principally exposed to four types of market risk: interest rate risk; foreign currency risk; credit risk; and equity price risk. Our investment guidelines permit, subject to approval, investments in derivative instruments such as futures, options, foreign currency forward contracts and swap agreements, which may be used to assume risks or for hedging purposes.

Except as described below, there were no material changes to these market risks, as disclosed in “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of our exposure to these risks.

As a result of the Validus Acquisition, which closed on November 1, 2023, Validus’s assets and liabilities were consolidated with RenaissanceRe and subject to our existing policies for addressing the markets risks noted herein. Further, we anticipate increased exposure to each of these market risks, resulting from an increase in the size of our investment portfolio. We do not currently anticipate significant changes in how those exposures are managed in future reporting periods based upon what is known or expected to be in effect in future reporting periods, including the Validus Acquisition.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, which were identified in connection with our evaluation required pursuant to Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Risks Related to the Validus Acquisition

The Validus Business is subject to many of the same risks we are, and the Validus Acquisition will increase our exposure to many of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition to those risks, you should carefully consider the following risks related to the Validus Acquisition. The below risks related to the Validus Acquisition should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements of Validus Re for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which we have previously disclosed.

We may experience difficulties in integrating the Validus Business.

Our ability to achieve the benefits we anticipate from the Validus Acquisition will depend in large part upon whether we are able to integrate the Validus Business into our business in an efficient and effective manner. We may not be able to integrate the Validus Business smoothly or successfully and the process may take longer than expected. If we are unable to manage future growth following the Validus Acquisition, our prospects may be materially and adversely affected. The success with which we are able to integrate the Validus Business will depend on our ability to manage a variety of issues, including the following:

•Loss of key personnel or higher than expected employee attrition rates could adversely affect the performance of the Validus Business and our ability to integrate it successfully.

•Customers of the Validus Business may reduce, delay or defer decisions concerning their use of the insurance and reinsurance products and services of the Validus Business as a result of the Validus Acquisition or uncertainties related to the consummation of the Validus Acquisition, including any potential unfamiliarity with our brand in regions where we have not had a significant presence prior to the time of the Validus Acquisition.

•Integrating the Validus Business with our existing operations will require us to coordinate geographically separated organizations, address possible differences in corporate culture and management philosophies, merge financial processes and risk and compliance procedures and combine separate information technology platforms.

•Future growth of our business and the Validus Business will require, among other things, the continued development of adequate underwriting and claim handling capabilities and skills, sufficient capital base, increased marketing and sales activities, and the hiring and training of new personnel.

The due diligence process that we undertook in connection with the Validus Acquisition may not have revealed all facts that may be relevant in connection with the Validus Acquisition.

In deciding whether to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement, we conducted the due diligence investigation that we deemed reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to the Validus Acquisition. When conducting due diligence, we are required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, technological, governance, legal and regulatory issues. In addition to our employees, outside consultants, legal advisors and accountants were involved in the due

108

diligence process in varying degrees. Despite our efforts, the results of our due diligence may not be complete and accurate or, even if complete and accurate, may not be sufficient to identify all relevant facts, which could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits we expect to achieve as a result of the Validus Acquisition and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The historical financial statements of Validus Re we have previously disclosed are not representative of the future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows of the Validus Business following the Validus Acquisition.

The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Validus Re presented in the historical financial statements of Validus Re, which we have previously disclosed, are the financial statements of Validus Re only, and not of all of the Validus entities to be acquired in the Validus Acquisition, and accordingly they do not present a complete picture of the Validus Business. Further, the financial statements of Validus Re as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, do not reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Validus Re at any point in time subsequent to December 31, 2022, including as of or for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, or September 30, 2023 for which financial statements have not been provided.

Additionally, even with respect to Validus Re, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows presented in the financial statements may be different from those that would have resulted had Validus Re been operated as part of our business and different from those that may result in the future from Validus Re being operated as a part of our business.

Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Validus Re should not be viewed as indicative of the future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows of Validus Re following the Validus Acquisition, or as indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Validus Business for any period.

Unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors, the program will expire when we have repurchased the full value of the shares authorized.

for repurchase under the share repurchase program. In the future, we may authorize additional purchase activities under the currently authorized share repurchase program, increase the amount authorized under the share repurchase program, or adopt additional trading plans.
