PEMBROKE, Bermuda, November 8, 2021 - PartnerRe Ltd. ("the Company") today reported net income available to common shareholder of $70 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to income of $206 million for the same period of 2020. Net income available to common shareholder was $317 million for the first nine months of 2021, compared to income of $2 million for the same period of 2020.
Operating income was $54 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to operating income of $18 million for the same period of 2020. Operating income for the first nine months of 2021 was $246 million compared to an operating loss of $209 million for the same period of 2020. Operating income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 improved over the same periods of 2020 as a result of improvements in current accident year attritional loss ratios.

reserves development subject to adverse development cover, and loss on redemption of preferred shares. The Company calculates annualized operating ROE using Operating income (loss) for the period divided by the average common shareholder's equity outstanding for the period. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Regulation G" for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
On October 28, 2021, EXOR Nederland N.V. (Exor) and Covéa Coopérations S.A. (Covéa) announced they entered into a memorandum of understanding under which, following completion of Covéa’s required consultation with works councils in France, the parties would enter into a definitive agreement for Covéa to acquire the Company (the Covéa Acquisition). The Covéa Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust, regulatory and other approvals.
PartnerRe President and Chief Executive Officer Jacques Bonneau commented, “Despite an active quarter for catastrophic activity, we delivered positive operating income during the third quarter of 2021, demonstrating the continued positive financial impacts of our portfolio optimization, especially on the current accident year attritional loss ratio. With a profitable underwriting result across all of our segments for the first nine months of 2021, and the strength of our capital and liquidity positions, we are well positioned for the renewal season. As we look forward to 2022, our strong capital base along with over $1 billion in third party capital assets under management leaves us poised to remain a valuable, responsive reinsurance partner.”
Highlights for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 are included below.
Non-Life:
▪Non-life net premiums written were up 14% for the third quarter of 2021 and were up 18% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020, driven by the P&C segment, which increased by 32% and 27%, respectively. The current year included favorable premium adjustments from prior underwriting years, compared to the prior year which included adverse premium exposure adjustments related to the economic downturn.
▪The Non-life underwriting profit was $4 million (combined ratio of 99.8%) for the third quarter of 2021 and $194 million (combined ratio of 95.0%) for the first nine months of 2021. This compares to Non-life underwriting losses of $20 million (combined ratio of 101.6%) and $327 million (combined ratio of 109.0%) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.
▪Large catastrophic losses, net of retrocession and reinstatement premiums were $297 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $417 million for the first nine months of 2021. Loss estimates for Winter Storm Uri were unchanged during the quarter at $120 million (P&C segment: $92 million, Specialty segment: $28 million). During the third quarter, losses for Hurricane Ida were $188 million (P&C segment: $172 million, Specialty segment: $16 million) and losses for the European

News Release
Floods totaled $60 million and were included in the P&C segment. Losses on aggregate covers associated with these events within the P&C segment also contributed to total large catastrophic losses during the third quarter of 2021.
▪The P&C segment reported a combined ratio of 105.9% and 99.4% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to 105.1% and 104.2% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. Across both comparative periods, the current accident year attritional loss ratio showed improvement as a result of portfolio reshaping in prior periods and rate increases. For the third quarter of 2021, this improvement was fully offset by large catastrophic losses described above, which were 29.0 points on the combined ratio, compared to 4.8 points during the third quarter of 2020 for Hurricane Laura. Large catastrophic losses of 14.3 points for the first nine months of 2021 compared to 8.7 points for the same period of 2020 for COVID-19 and Hurricane Laura. Both comparative periods for 2020 also included an aggregation of mid-sized catastrophic events.
▪During the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover agreement related to prior underwriting years on the Company's U.S. casualty and auto business within the P&C segment. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, as a result of adverse prior years reserve development ceded under this agreement, a deferred gain of $21 million was recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expense and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
▪The Specialty segment reported a combined ratio of 86.6% and 86.7% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to 96.1% and 116.7% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The improvement in the combined ratio for the third quarter was driven by favorable prior years' reserve development of 7.0 points compared to 0.4 points for the same period of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, the combined ratio benefited from a decrease in large catastrophic losses, which were 3.5 points in the current year compared to 13.7 points for the first nine months of 2020 for COVID-19. Prior years' reserve development also contributed to a decrease of 12.1 points on the Specialty combined ratio on a year-to-date basis.
Life and Health:
▪Net premiums written were up 9% for the third quarter and up 10% for the first nine months of 2021, compared to the same periods of 2020, reflecting growth in long-term life business.
▪Allocated underwriting result was a profit of $22 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $26 million for the third quarter 2020. The quarterly result for 2021 was adversely impacted by COVID-19 losses on protection products of $6 million compared to no COVID-19 losses for the third quarter of 2020. Excluding COVID-19, the increase in allocated underwriting result was driven by normalization in the short-term protection business, which was offset by a decrease in

News Release
profit for the longevity business due to more positive experience reported during the third quarter of 2020.
▪Allocated underwriting result was a profit of $65 million for the first nine months of 2021, compared to $49 million for the first nine months of 2020. Losses on protection products due to COVID-19 increased by $17 million, with $32 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $15 million for the first nine months of 2020. Excluding COVID-19, the increase in allocated underwriting result was driven by improvements in short-term business and improvements in the guaranteed minimum death benefits line of business as a result of equity market increases in 2021, partially offset by a lower level of gains related to recaptures of business compared to the first nine months of 2020.
Investments:
▪Net investment return in the third quarter of 2021 was $83 million, or 0.4% and included net investment income of $102 million and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $18 million, which were partially offset by net realized and unrealized investment losses of $37 million. This compares to a net investment return of $342 million, or 1.8%, for the third quarter of 2020, which included net investment income of $100 million, net realized and unrealized investment gains of $239 million and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $3 million.
▪Net investment return for the first nine months of 2021 was $384 million, or 1.9%, which included net investment income of $284 million, net realized and unrealized investment gains of $43 million and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $57 million. This compares to a net investment return of $466 million, or 2.6%, for the first nine months of 2020, which included net investment income of $276 million, net realized and unrealized investment gains of $185 million and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $5 million.
▪Net investment income of $102 million was up $2 million, or 1.5%, for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, primarily due to the performance of the Company's US TIPs portfolio and the impact of re-allocations to investment grade corporate bonds. Net investment income of $284 million was up $8 million, or 2.9%, for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, primarily due to the same reasons impacting the quarter.
▪Net realized and unrealized investment losses of $37 million for the third quarter of 2021 (2020: $239 million gain) included:
◦Net realized and unrealized investment losses of $98 million (2020: $14 million gain) on fixed maturities and short-term investments, which were primarily unrealized, were driven by real estate exposures within the Company's Asia high yield credit book and the slight widening of world-wide risk-free rates and credit spreads.

News Release
◦Net realized and unrealized investment gains on equities of $27 million (2020: $168 million gain), which were primarily unrealized, were driven by equity funds.
◦Net realized and unrealized investment gains of $34 million (2020: $57 million gain) on other invested assets, which were primarily unrealized, were driven by investment gains on private equity and alternative credit investments.
▪Net realized and unrealized investment gains of $43 million for the first nine months of 2021 (2020: $185 million gain) included:
◦Net realized and unrealized investment losses of $353 million (2020: $225 million gain) on fixed maturities and short-term investments, which were primarily unrealized, were driven by a significant increase in worldwide risk-free rates and losses on real estate sector investments in the Company's Asia high yield credit portfolio, partially offset by narrowing of high-yield credit spreads.
◦Net realized and unrealized investment gains on equities of $255 million (2020: $31 million gain), which were also primarily unrealized, were driven by increases in worldwide equity markets that benefited public equity funds.
◦Net realized and unrealized investment gains of $141 million (2020: $71 million loss) on other invested assets were driven by realized and unrealized investment gains on private equity and alternative credit investments.
▪Interest in earnings of equity method investments of $18 million and $57 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, primarily reflects realized and unrealized gains on private equity funds and New York real estate funds. This compared to interest in earnings of equity method investments of $3 million and $5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively.
▪As of September 30, 2021, reinvestment rates were 2.4% compared to the Company's fixed income investment portfolio yield of 2.4% for the third quarter of 2021.
Other Income Statement Items:
▪Other expense ratio of 5.2% for the third quarter of 2021 was down one point compared to an other expense ratio of 6.2% for the same period of 2020. The decrease for the third quarter was driven primarily by a decrease in consulting and professional fees. The other expense ratio of 5.4% for the first nine months of 2021 was comparable to the same period of 2020, which had an expense ratio of 5.6%.
▪Net foreign exchange gains were $46 million for the third quarter of 2021, driven by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against certain major currencies (primarily the Canadian dollar and British pound), partially offset by the cost of hedging. Net foreign exchange losses were $44 million for the third quarter of 2020, driven by the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against certain

News Release
major currencies (primarily the Canadian dollar and British Pound) and the cost of hedging. Net foreign exchange losses of $12 million for the first nine months of 2021 were driven primarily by U.S. dollar appreciation against the Euro, the British Pound and the Swiss Franc, and the cost of hedging, while net foreign exchange gains of $51 million for the first nine months of 2020 were driven by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against certain major currencies (primarily the Canadian dollar and British pound), net of the cost of hedging.
▪Interest expense was $14 million and $42 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to $9 million and $25 million for the same periods of 2020. The increase was driven by the issuance of $500 million 4.50% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due 2050 during the third quarter of 2020.
▪Preferred dividends of $2 million and $20 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to $12 million and $35 million for the same periods of 2020. In May 2021, the Company fully redeemed its Series G, H and I preferred shares for a liquidation value of $637 million. The Company also incurred a loss on redemption of $21 million, related to the preferred share issuance costs that were included in Additional paid-in-capital at issuance, and upon redemption were expensed, with no net impact to Common shareholder's equity. Following the redemption, only Series J preferred shares remain outstanding.
▪Income tax benefit was $1 million on pre-tax income of $71 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to an expense of $5 million on pre-tax income of $223 million for the same period of 2020. Income tax expense was $22 million on pre-tax income of $381 million for the first nine months of 2021, compared to a benefit of $23 million on pre-tax income of $13 million for the same period of 2020.
Balance Sheet, Capitalization and Cash Flows:
▪Total investments and cash and cash equivalents were $20.1 billion at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, with cash and cash equivalents deployed to fixed maturities and other invested assets during the first nine months of 2021.
▪Cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturities, and short-term investments, which are government issued or investment grade fixed income securities, were $14.1 billion at September 30, 2021, representing 70% of the total investments and cash and cash equivalents.
▪The average credit rating of the fixed income portfolio was AA as of September 30, 2021. The expected average duration of the public fixed income portfolio at September 30, 2021 was 4.0 years, while the average duration of the Company’s liabilities was 4.2 years.

News Release
▪Dividends declared and paid to common shareholders were $107 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, compared to no dividends declared and paid during the third quarter of 2020 and $50 million for the first nine months of 2020.
▪Common shareholder's equity (or book value) of $7.0 billion and tangible book value of $6.4 billion at September 30, 2021 increased by 3.9% and 4.4%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2020, due to the comprehensive income for the first nine months of 2021, partially offset by common and preferred dividends and issuance costs incurred for the Series J preferred shares in the first nine months of 2021. Book value, excluding dividends on common shares for 2021, was up 5.5% compared to December 31, 2020.
▪Total capital was $9.1 billion at September 30, 2021, down 2.4% compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to the redemption of Series G, H and I preferred shares and a decrease in the U.S dollar value of the Company's Euro denominated debt, as the U.S dollar strengthened against the Euro during the first nine months of 2021. This was partially offset by issuance of the Series J Preferred Shares and the increase in common shareholder's equity.
▪Cash provided by operating activities was $428 million and $860 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, compared to $302 million and $781 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The increases were driven by cash flows from underwriting operations, which benefited from increased premium volume and an improved technical result across both comparative periods, and were net of the premium paid for the loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2021. This resulted in an increase in Reinsurance recoverables of $357 million as at September 30, 2021 and a cash transfer for the premium at inception of the agreement.

(1) In the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover agreement in relation to prior underwriting years on the Company's U.S. casualty and auto business. During the third quarter of 2021 there was adverse prior years' development on reserves ceded under this agreement, and as a result the Company established a deferred gain of $21 million, which is recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expense and other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2021.
(2) The unrecognized time value, or discount, is the difference between the undiscounted liability for non-life reserves recorded and the discounted amount of these reserves. This discount is calculated by applying appropriate risk-free rates by currency and duration to the underlying non-life reserves.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Regulation G
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth herein, the Company has also included certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other stakeholders and help provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies outside of the insurance industry. These non-GAAP measures should be considered an addition to, and not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.
The reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included within the relevant tables.
Operating Income (Loss) available to Common Shareholder (Operating Income (Loss)); Annualized Operating Return on Average Common Shareholder's Equity (Annualized Operating ROE): The Company uses Operating income (loss) and Annualized Operating ROE to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s operations. Operating income (loss) is calculated after preferred dividends and excludes the impact of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, net of tax, net foreign exchange gains and losses, net of tax, interest in earnings (losses) of equity method investments, net of tax, favorable or adverse prior years' reserves development for which we have ceded the risk under an adverse development cover (ADC), net of tax and related changes in amortization of the deferred gain, and loss on redemption of preferred shares. The Company calculates Annualized Operating ROE using Operating income (loss) for the period divided by the average common shareholder's equity outstanding for the period. Operating income (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for Net Income (Loss) prepared in accordance with GAAP. Annualized Operating ROE supplements GAAP information. The Company's management believes that Operating income (loss) is useful to stakeholders because it more accurately reflects the underlying fundamentals of the business by removing the variability arising from activity that is largely independent of its business and underwriting processes, such as: fluctuations in the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; fluctuations of returns on the Company's equity method investments; the impact of retroactive reinsurance agreements where the Company believes adjusting for this development shows the ultimate economic benefit of the ADC; and the impact of non-recurring transactions such as losses on the redemption of preferred shares.
Tangible Book Value: The Company calculates Tangible Book Value using common shareholder's equity less goodwill and intangible assets, net of tax. The Company's management believes Tangible Book Value is useful to stakeholders because it provides a more accurate measure of realizable value of shareholder returns.

(1) During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 8 million shares of 4.875% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series J, with an aggregate liquidation value of $25 per share, for total gross proceeds of $200 million. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company fully redeemed the Series G, H and I Preferred Shares at a redemption value of $637 million.
(2) The intangible assets are presented in the table above net of tax of $10 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(3) The decrease relates primarily to the foreign exchange impact of remeasuring the Euro debt into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date.
(4) The difference of $8 million between Total debt and Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is due to the Capital efficient notes (CENts). Non-consolidated debt issued externally related to CENts of $62 million does not appear in the Debt line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the finance entity that issued the debt (PartnerRe Finance II Inc.) does not meet the U.S. GAAP criteria for consolidation. The Consolidated Balance Sheets include the related intercompany notes of $70 million issued by PartnerRe U.S. Corporation to PartnerRe Finance II Inc.
