("the Company") today reported a net income available to common shareholder of $216 million for the third quarter of 2019, which includes net realized and unrealized investments gains of $41 million on fixed maturities and short-term investments, primarily due to decreases in world-wide risk-free rates, and $39 million net foreign exchange gains.

News Release


The majority of the Company's investments, including all fixed maturities, such as government bonds and investment grade corporate debt, are accounted for at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Commenting on results, PartnerRe President and Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Clarke said, “Our third quarter results were highlighted by improved year-on-year profitability in the Non-Life and Life & Health segments, increased Investments contribution from both net investment income and realized gains and a lower expense ratio. We achieved double digit growth in net premium written in both the Non-Life and Life & Health segments, benefiting from an improved pricing and underwriting environment in Non-Life and from the continued execution of our Life & Health growth strategy.”
Mr. Clarke also added: “We are very focused on delivering further underwriting margin improvement in 2020, helped by a Non-Life pricing environment we expect to continue to firm. With our capital and book value up 9.9% and 14.2% respectively for the year, we are well positioned to capitalize on selective growth opportunities with improved margins and attractive returns, while reducing our exposure to underperforming segments.”
Highlights for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018, are included below.

News Release


Non-Life:
Non-life net premiums written for the third quarter of 2019 were up 17% compared to the third quarter of 2018, driven by a 12% increase in the P&C segment, and a 25% increase in the Specialty segment.
Non-life net premiums written were up 19% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, driven by a 23% increase in the P&C segment and 14% increase in the Specialty segment.
The Non-life underwriting profit was $49 million (combined ratio of 96.4%) for the third quarter of 2019 compared to a loss of $87 million (combined ratio of 107.8%) for the same period of 2018. The increase in underwriting profit was driven by the P&C segment which reported a combined ratio of 99.4% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 114.7% for the third quarter of 2018, with the improvement driven by a reduction in the attritional loss ratio and a decrease in losses related to large catastrophic events. Catastrophic losses included Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Faxai of $93 million, pre-tax, net of retrocession and reinstatement premiums, or 11.5 points on the P&C combined ratio, compared to $120 million or 17.9 points on the combined ratio related to Typhoons Jebi and Trami and Hurricane Florence in the third quarter of 2018. The Specialty segment also recorded an improved combined ratio of 91.7% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 97.4% for the same period of 2018, driven primarily by lower attritional losses on the current accident year.
The Non-life underwriting profit was $168 million (combined ratio of 95.5%) for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $20 million (combined ratio of 99.4%) for the same period of 2018. The increase was driven by the P&C segment with a combined ratio of 91.4% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to 104.4% for the same period of 2018, reflecting an improvement in the current accident year attritional loss ratio and a decrease in losses related to large catastrophic events. This was partially offset by the Specialty segment, which recorded a combined ratio of 101.6% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to 92.4% for the same period of 2018, driven by net adverse prior years' reserve development and a large aviation loss related to Ethiopian Airlines and Boeing of $43 million (2.9 points on the Specialty combined ratio), net of retrocession and reinstatement premiums.
The Non-life combined ratio was impacted by net adverse prior year development of $3 million (0.2 points) and $18 million (0.5 points) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. This compared to net favorable prior year development of $32 million (2.9 points) and $102 million (3.2 points) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively.

News Release


Life and Health:
Net premiums written were up 19% in the third quarter of 2019, and up 21% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.
Allocated underwriting result was a profit of $31 million and $75 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, compared to $18 million and $69 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively.
Investments:
Net investment return in the third quarter of 2019 was $225 million, or 1.3%, driven by net investment income of $109 million, net realized and unrealized investment gains of $114 million and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $2 million. This compares to a net investment return of $63 million, or 0.4%, for the third quarter of 2018, which included net investment income of $104 million and net realized and unrealized investment losses of $41 million.
Net investment return for the first nine months of 2019 was $1,143 million, or 6.6%, which included net investment income of $340 million, net realized and unrealized investment gains of $765 million, and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $38 million. This compares to a net investment return of $3 million for the first nine months of 2018, which included net investment income of $312 million, net realized and unrealized investment losses of $337 million, and interest in earnings of equity method investments of $28 million.
Net investment income was up $5 million, or 5%, for the third quarter of 2019 and up $28 million, or 9% for the first nine months of 2019, compared to the same periods of 2018. This was driven primarily by actions taken during the fourth quarter of 2018 and during the first quarter of 2019 to improve the yield on the fixed income and alternative credit portfolios.

News Release


Net realized and unrealized investment gains of $114 million and $765 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, were driven by $41 million and $484 million, respectively, of net realized and unrealized investment gains on fixed maturities and short-term investments, and $73 million and $281 million, respectively, of net realized and unrealized investment gains on equities, investments in real estate and other invested assets, primarily due to gains in public equity funds. Included within the $41 million and $484 million of net realized and unrealized investment gains on fixed maturities and short-term investments for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, was $70 million and $222 million, respectively, of net realized gains primarily driven by the Company's decisions to rebalance certain portfolios to lock in fully valued gains, particularly in lower rated investment grade credit, and to reallocate the proceeds to other investment classes, particularly to highly rated governments and mortgage backed securities, and to alternative credit. This compared to net realized and unrealized investment losses of $41 million and $337 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, which included $73 million and $407 million, respectively, of net realized and unrealized investment losses on fixed maturities and short-term investments, and $33 million and $69 million, respectively, of net realized and unrealized investment gains on equities, investments in real estate and other invested assets.
The interest in earnings of equity method investments of $2 million and $38 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, was primarily driven by an appreciation in value of certain real estate investments held, and for the first nine months of 2019, also reflected gains on private equity investments. This compared to gains of $0 million and $28 million for the same periods of 2018.
As at September 30, 2019, reinvestment rates were 2.7% compared to the Company's fixed income investment portfolio yield of 2.9% for the third quarter of 2019.
Other Income Statement Items:
Expense ratio of 4.7% for the third quarter of 2019 (Other expenses of $80 million) was down 0.2 percentage points compared to expense ratio of 4.9% (Other expenses of $69 million) for the same period of 2018. Expense ratio of 5.3% for the first nine months of 2019 (Other expenses of $255 million) was down 0.4 percentage points compared to expense ratio of 5.7% (Other expenses of $232 million) for the same period of 2018.

News Release


Net foreign exchange gains were $39 million in the third quarter of 2019, driven by the U.S. dollar strengthening against most major currencies partially offset by the cost of hedging, compared to losses of $16 million for the third quarter of 2018, driven by the U.S. dollar weakening against certain major currencies. Net foreign exchange losses were $8 million for the first nine months of 2019, driven primarily by the cost of hedging, compared to gains of $53 million for the same period of 2018, driven by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies partially offset by hedging costs.
Interest expense was $10 million and $32 million for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019, respectively, while preferred dividends were $12 million and $35 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, and were comparable to the same periods of 2018.
Loss on redemption of debt was $15 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, related to the redemption of the Company's 5.50% Senior Notes due 2020 at a make-whole redemption price.
Income tax expense was $29 million on pre-tax income of $257 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to an expense of $10 million on pre-tax losses of $84 million for the same period of 2018. Income tax expense was $104 million on pre-tax income of $1,137 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to a expense of $4 million on pre-tax losses of $61 million for the first nine months of 2018. These amounts were primarily driven by the geographical distribution of pre-tax profits and losses.
Balance Sheet, Capitalization and Cash Flows:
Total investments and cash and cash equivalents were $17.6 billion at September 30, 2019, up 8.1% compared to December 31, 2018. The increase to September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by the $1,143 million net investment return for the first nine months of 2019 and the increase in payable for securities purchased to $432 million as at September 30, 2019 from $80 million as at December 31, 2018.
Cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturities, and short-term investments, which are government issued or investment grade fixed income securities, were $13.0 billion at September 30, 2019, representing 74% of the total investments and cash and cash equivalents.
The average credit rating of the fixed income portfolio has increased to AA as of September 30, 2019 from A at December 31, 2018. The improvement in the average credit quality of the fixed income portfolio was due to actions taken during 2019 to reduce exposure to lower rated investment grade credit and reinvest certain proceeds in highly rated governments and mortgage backed securities. The expected average duration of the public fixed income portfolio at September 30, 2019 was 3.0 years, while the average duration of the Company’s liabilities was 4.8 years.

(1) The change in reserve agreement in 2018 included $7 million of loss development on AXA guaranteed reserves of approximately $400 million which were commuted in the fourth quarter of 2018.
(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.

(1) The life value in force (Life VIF) is the present value of the profits that will emerge from life policies over time and is comprised of the present value of future after-tax profits, and takes into consideration the cost of capital. The Company’s Life VIF is calculated on a going concern basis and is the sum of (i) present value of future profits on a U.S. GAAP basis which represents the net present value of projected after-tax cash flows based on Life reserves, net of deferred acquisition costs and gross of value of business acquired; (ii) cost of non-hedgeable risks; (iii) frictional costs; (iv) time value of options and guarantees; and (v) cost of non-economic excess encumbered capital.

(1) The intangible assets are presented in the table above net of tax of $9 million at September 30, 2019 and $10 million at December 31, 2018.

(2) The decrease in senior notes is driven by the foreign exchange impact of remeasuring the Euro debt into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date.

(3) Non-consolidated debt issued externally related to Capital efficient notes (CENts) of $62 million and $63 million as at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, 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 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 include the related intercompany notes of $70 million and $71 million, respectively, issued by PartnerRe U.S. Corporation to PartnerRe Finance II Inc.
