Over his tenure, Bob has evolved our investment portfolio and operations to reflect RenaissanceRe’s increased scale, and his financial acumen and leadership have helped drive greater earnings diversification and financial resilience that have been integral to our success. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best in his retirement. “Matt brings a proven track record of financial leadership, with deep expertise in corporate finance and capital management.

Importantly, he made a lasting impact on our culture by exemplifying our values, championing inclusion, and developing generations of talent. We thank Ross for his leadership and wish him and his family every happiness in his retirement. “David has successfully grown RenaissanceRe’s portfolio as Chief Underwriting Officer, both organically and through the Validus acquisition, while maintaining our collaborative, high-performing underwriting culture. I am confident that he will build on his long track record of underwriting leadership in this expanded role, matching desirable risk with capital and advancing our value proposition to customers at scale.” Ross Curtis, Chief Portfolio Officer, said: “It has been a true privilege to be part of the RenaissanceRe team for nearly thirty years and to contribute to a business defined by underwriting excellence and a strong, collaborative culture. I am proud of the company we have built and the deep client relationships we have fostered. I have every confidence that those enduring strengths will continue to distinguish RenaissanceRe in the years ahead.” To facilitate a smooth transition, Mr. Qutub will serve as a strategic advisor to the Company for a period of twelve months after his retirement and Mr. Curtis will serve as a strategic advisor for six months.

RenaissanceRe Reports $284.5 Million of Quarterly Net Income Available to Common Shareholders and $590.5 Million of Operating Income Available to Common Shareholders in Q1 2026.April 28, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire
Strong Performance Across All Three Drivers of Profit – Underwriting, Fee and Net Investment Income.



73.0% combined ratio.



Fee income of $94.1 million, with strong contributions from management and performance fees.



Net investment income of $420.5 million, up 3.7% from Q1 2025.



Repurchased $352.5 million of common shares in Q1 2026. Repurchased an additional $104.8 million from April 1, 2026, through April 24, 2026.



10.5% annualized return on average common equity, including mark-to-market losses of $421.9 million, primarily from increased treasury yields and equity losses.



21.8% annualized operating return on average common equity.



RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: RNR) (“RenaissanceRe” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

Kevin J. O’Donnell, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We started the year with a strong quarter, with significant contributions across each of our Three Drivers of Profit. We generated $284.5 million in net income available to common shareholders and $590.5 million in operating income available to common shareholders, and delivered an annualized return on average common equity of 10.5% and annualized operating return on average common equity of 21.8%. This strong performance was anchored by underwriting, where we delivered a low combined ratio of 73.0%, reflecting the strength of our underwriting decisions, deliberate portfolio construction and a disciplined reserving approach.







 



We continue to shape the underwriting portfolio to deliver superior returns for our shareholders. In a competitive, but still attractive environment, we successfully deployed additional limit into our highest margin business, property catastrophe.







 



Fee and investment income together contributed to a durable and diversified earnings base, with stable management fees, elevated performance fees, and investment income remaining near peak levels. During the quarter, we took advantage of investment market volatility to opportunistically reposition our investment portfolio, reducing our gold position, increasing allocations to investment-grade credit, and extending duration by half a year to further benefit from still attractive interest rate levels.







 



We also repurchased $352.5 million of shares during the quarter at an attractive premium to book value, reflecting our confidence in the intrinsic value of the franchise and our commitment to disciplined capital management. Taken together, these results reflect the strength and diversification of our platform and position us to continue compounding book value per common share over the long term.”

Gross premiums written decreased by $423.4 million, or 19.9%, driven by:


a decrease of $387.0 million, or 23.2%, in the catastrophe class, as:


Q1 2025 included $338.4 million of reinstatement premiums, primarily related to the California wildfires; otherwise, not including reinstatement premiums, gross premiums written in the catastrophe class decreased by $42.8 million, or 3.2%, with rate reductions largely offset by other opportunities for growth.






a decrease of $36.4 million in the other property class, primarily due to rate decreases in catastrophe-exposed business.






Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 117.9 percentage points, due to:


a comparatively lower impact from large losses in the quarter, as Q1 2025 included 117.2 percentage points from the California wildfires.






Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 17.9%, driven by:


net favorable development of $62.6 million in the catastrophe class, primarily from the large loss events in 2021, 2022 and 2023; and



net favorable development of $98.1 million in the other property class, primarily due to favorable attritional loss experience and net favorable development on the large loss events in 2024.






Underwriting expense ratio increased by 6.2 percentage points, primarily driven by:


the impact during Q1 2025 of net reinstatement premiums of $335.3 million, primarily from the California wildfires, which benefited the underwriting expense ratio by 6.8 percentage points in Q1 2025.






Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio each improved primarily due to the lower current accident year net losses.

Gross premiums written decreased by $253.2 million, or 12.5%, primarily driven by decreases in the general casualty and other specialty classes.



Net premiums written decreased by $329.4 million, or 18.8%, consistent with the drivers for gross premiums written discussed above, in addition to an increase in the Company’s retrocessional purchases.



Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 6.5 percentage points compared to Q1 2025, principally driven by the lower impact of large loss events within the other specialty class.



Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 0.1%, and included an adverse impact of 0.4 percentage points from purchase accounting adjustments.



Underwriting expense ratio improved by 4.7 percentage points, primarily driven by:


a 4.0 percentage point decrease in the acquisition expense ratio, due to changes in variable commissions and a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments related to the Validus Acquisition.






Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio each improved due to the lower impact of large loss events reflected in the net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year and the lower underwriting expense ratio.

Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products and may be zero or negative in a particular period. For example, large losses could potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees.








Performance fee income increased due to strong current year underwriting results, the recognition of deferred performance fees related to a return of capital in DaVinci, and higher prior accident years net favorable development within DaVinci.



Total fee income in Q1 2026 included $72.2 million of fee income recorded in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which is not included in the Company’s underwriting income (loss).

Net investment income increased by $15.1 million, primarily due to higher average invested assets and portfolio reallocation, resulting in increased income from fixed maturity investments trading and fixed income exchange traded funds.



Net realized and unrealized losses on investments in Q1 2026 were driven by:


$267.9 million of net losses on fixed maturity-related investments, primarily due to increases in market yields in the quarter;



$147.4 million of net losses on equity-related investments, primarily due to broader equity market declines;



$60.4 million of net unrealized losses on direct private equity investments, driven by a decrease in the value of certain of the investments in the Company’s strategic investments portfolio; offset by



$65.3 million of net gains on commodity-related investments, principally due to realized gains on the sale of a portion of the Company’s gold futures.






Total investments were $35.2 billion at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $36.1 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 2.9 years, respectively (December 31, 2025 - 4.8% and 2.6 years, respectively).





Other Items of Note








Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $222.5 million was primarily driven by:


strong underwriting income in DaVinci and Vermeer; and



$116.4 million of net investment income in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; partially offset by



$65.2 million of net realized and unrealized losses in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; and



$72.2 million of management and performance fee income.






Raised third party capital of $61.4 million, including $46.0 million in Medici and $15.4 million in Medici UCITS.



Returned third party capital of $930.3 million, including:


$729.5 million to investors in DaVinci, Vermeer and Top Layer through share repurchases and dividends following strong earnings across these vehicles in 2025; and



redemptions from certain third-party investors rebalancing their portfolios, primarily because of the strong results noted above.






Income tax expense of $33.0 million in Q1 2026, compared to a benefit of $45.5 million in Q1 2025. The income tax expense was primarily driven by strong operating profits, partially offset by mark-to-market losses.



Operational and corporate expenses decreased in Q1 2026, primarily driven by Bermuda tax credits and partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses.



Share repurchases of 1.2 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $352.5 million and an average price of $289.36 per common share. Repurchased an additional $104.8 million from April 1, 2026, through April 24, 2026.

Any forward-looking statements made in this Press Release reflect RenaissanceRe’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company may also make forward-looking statements with respect to its business and industry, such as those relating to its strategy and management objectives, plans and expectations regarding its response and ability to adapt to changing economic conditions, market standing and product volumes, estimates of net negative impact and insured losses from loss events, competition in the industry and government initiatives and regulatory matters affecting the (re)insurance industries. The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be considered as a representation by the Company that its current objectives or plans will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those addressed by the forward-looking statements, including the following: the Company’s exposure to natural and non-natural catastrophic events and circumstances and the variance they may cause in the Company’s financial results; the effect of climate change on the Company’s business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe climate events; the effectiveness of the Company’s claims and claim expense reserving process; the effect of emerging claims and coverage issues; the performance of the Company’s investment portfolio and financial market volatility; the effects of inflation; the Company’s exposure to ceding companies and delegated authority counterparties and the risks they underwrite; the Company’s ability to maintain its financial strength ratings; the Company’s reliance on a small number of brokers; the highly competitive nature of the Company’s industry; the historically cyclical nature of the (re)insurance industries; collection on claimed retrocessional coverage and new retrocessional reinsurance being available; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key executives and employees; the Company’s ability to successfully implement its business strategies and initiatives; the Company’s exposure to credit loss from counterparties; the Company’s need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements; the Company’s exposure to risks associated with its management of capital on behalf of investors; changes to the accounting rules and regulatory systems applicable to the Company’s business, including changes in Bermuda and U.S. laws or regulations; the effect of current or future macroeconomic or geopolitical events or trends, including the ongoing conflicts globally; other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting the Company; the impact of cybersecurity risks, including technology breaches or failure; the Company’s ability to comply with covenants in its debt agreements; the effect of adverse economic factors, including changes in the prevailing interest rates; the effects of new or possible future tax actions or reform legislation and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the Company’s ability to determine any impairments taken on its investments; the Company’s ability to raise capital on acceptable terms; the Company’s ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws; the Company’s dependence on capital distributions from its operating subsidiaries; and other factors affecting future results disclosed in RenaissanceRe’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures







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 and the Bermuda deferred tax benefit resulting from Bermuda law changes enacted in 2025, (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. Additionally, management believes that these measures provide a view of the Company’s underlying business that allows for better comparisons of the Company’s performance over time by focusing on the Company’s core business operations.


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.”

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) other goodwill and intangible assets, and (3) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. “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 by excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets and acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments to provide for better comparability and a more accurate measure of the Company’s underlying operations. 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 reportable 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.”
