RenaissanceRe Reports $826.5 Million of Net Income Available to Common Shareholders and $594.6 million of Operating Income Available to Common Shareholders in Q2 2025.

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: RNR) (“RenaissanceRe” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

Underwriting Results - Property Segment: Combined ratio of 27.4%; growth in the catastrophe class driven by successful mid-year renewals

• Gross premiums written reflected a successful mid-year renewal as the Company executed on market opportunities in the catastrophe class and optimized the property portfolio.
  • The decrease of $21.2 million, or1.2%, was primarily driven by:
    • an increase in the catastrophe class of $98.1 million, or 7.8%, driven by strong mid-year renewals reflective of organic growth on existing clients, as well as new underwriting opportunities, including in U.S. catastrophe-exposed business; and
    • a decrease in the other property class of $119.3 million, primarily reflecting premium adjustments, in part due to rate decreases in the excess and surplus business.

• Net premiums earned decreased by $112.8 million, or 11.5%, primarily driven by the reductions in the other property class gross premiums written, in addition to an increase in ceded premiums written in 2024, which continued to impact net premiums earned in 2025.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 6.7 percentage points, due to the relatively low level of catastrophe losses in the quarter, as compared to Q2 2024, which had a 7.7 percentage point impact from large losses.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 30.7%, driven by:
  • net favorable development of $131.5 million in the catastrophe class, primarily from the weather-related large losses in 2021, 2022, and 2023; and
  • net favorable development of $135.1 million in the other property class, primarily due to reported losses coming in lower than expected.

• Underwriting expense ratio increased by 2.3 percentage points, consisting of:
  • a 1.0 percentage point increase in the acquisition expense ratio and a 1.3 percentage point increase in the operating expense ratio, both primarily driven by the decrease in net premiums earned.

• Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio each improved primarily due to the lower current accident year net losses and higher prior accident year net favorable development.

Underwriting Results - Casualty and Specialty Segment: Combined ratio of 101.8% and adjusted combined ratio of 99.5%

• Gross premiums written increased by $16.8 million, or 1.0%, driven by:
  • increases mainly in the credit and specialty classes, which were largely offset by a net decrease within the casualty lines of business.

• Net premiums written decreased by 2.4%, driven by an increase in the Company’s retrocessional purchases.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 0.3 percentage points due to the impact of higher attritional losses, primarily within the casualty lines of business, partly offset by a lower impact from large losses as compared to Q2 2024.

• Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years of (0.2) percentage points, reflecting overall net favorable development in the quarter.

• Underwriting expense ratio increased 2.0 percentage points, which consisted of:
  • a 1.1 percentage point increase in the net acquisition expense ratio, driven by changes in the mix of business due to increased mortgage business, which carries higher acquisition costs; and
  • a 0.9 percentage point increase in the operating expense ratio mainly due to an increase in compensation expenses.

Fee Income: $95.0 million of fee income, up 12.9% from Q2 2024

• Management fee income remained consistently strong.

• Performance fee income increased due to positive underlying underwriting results and prior year net favorable development, primarily in DaVinci and Upsilon.

Investment Results: Total investment result of $762.8 million; reflecting net investment income of $413.1 million and net realized and unrealized gains of $349.7 million

• Net investment income remained consistently strong, with an increase of $2.3 million, primarily due to higher average invested assets in the fixed maturity investments portfolio, partially offset by decreases in market yields.

• Net realized and unrealized gains on investments improved by $477.3 million, mainly driven by:
  • net realized and unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments trading of $94.6 million, primarily due to decreases in some market yields and a general tightening of credit spreads in Q2 2025, as compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $90.7 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to increases in market yields and a general widening of credit spreads; and
  • an increase in net realized and unrealized gains on investment-related derivatives of $165.1 million, primarily due to a combination of gains on long equity and gold futures, as well as gains from treasury futures.

• Total investments were $34.5 billion at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $32.6 billion). The weighted average yield to maturity and duration on the Company’s investment portfolio (excluding investments that have no final maturity, yield to maturity or duration) was 5.1% and 2.6 years, respectively (December 31, 2024 - 5.4% and 2.9 years, respectively).

• Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of$328.3 million was primarily driven by:
  • underwriting income across vehicles, particularly in DaVinci and Vermeer; and
  • net investment income in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds.

• Income tax expense of $176.9 million in Q2 2025, primarily driven by the newly effective Bermuda corporate income tax.

• Share Repurchases of 1.6 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $376.4 million and an average price of $242.18 per common share. Repurchased an additional 293.8 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $70.2 million and an average price of $239.03 per common share from July 1, 2025 through July 21, 2025.

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this Press Release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has provided certain of these financial measures in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that such measures are important to investors and other interested persons, and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within or outside the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies within or outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.

Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders, Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders per Common Share – Diluted and Operating Return on Average Common Equity - Annualized

The Company uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as a measure to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance. “Operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of (1) net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, excluding other investments - catastrophe bonds, (2) net foreign exchange gains and losses, (3) expenses or revenues associated with acquisitions, dispositions and impairments, (4) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, (5) the Bermuda net deferred tax benefit recorded prior to the January 1, 2025 effective date of the Bermuda corporate income tax, (6) the income tax expense or benefit associated with these adjustments, and (7) the portion of these adjustments attributable to the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company also uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” to calculate “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized.”

The Company’s management believes that “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized” are useful to management and investors because they provide for better comparability and more accurately measure the Company’s results of operations and remove variability.

The following table is a reconciliation of: (1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders”; (2) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted”; and (3) return on average common equity - annualized to “operating return on average common equity - annualized.” Comparative information for the prior periods presented have been updated to conform to the current methodology and presentation.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share and Tangible Book Value Per Common Share Plus Accumulated Dividends

The Company has included in this Press Release “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, and (3) other goodwill and intangible assets. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) other goodwill and intangible assets, and (3) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, plus accumulated dividends.

The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets and acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. The following table is a reconciliation of book value per common share to “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.”

Adjusted Combined Ratio

The Company has included in this Press Release “adjusted combined ratio” for the company, its segments and certain classes of business. “Adjusted combined ratio” is defined as the combined ratio adjusted for the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting, which includes the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments related to the amortization (accretion) of VOBA and acquisition costs, and the fair value adjustments to the net reserve for claims and claim expenses for the acquisitions of Validus, TMR and Platinum. The combined ratio is calculated as the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) acquisition expenses, and (3) operational expenses; divided by net premiums earned. The acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments impact net claims and claim expenses incurred and acquisition expenses. The Company’s management believes “adjusted combined ratio” is useful to management and investors because it provides for better comparability and more accurately measures the Company’s underlying underwriting performance. The following table is a reconciliation of combined ratio to “adjusted combined ratio.”
