- Book Value Growth of 7% to $45.59
PEMBROKE, Bermuda, April 26, 2004 -- PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported record net income of $145.6 million, or $2.59 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2004. This net income includes net after-tax realized gains on investments of $31.0 million or $0.57 per share. Net income for the first quarter of 2003, including net after-tax realized gains on investments of $37.9 million or $0.70 per share, was $124.4 million or $2.22 per share. Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2004 were $109.7 million or $2.02 per share on a fully diluted basis. Operating earnings exclude net after-tax realized investment gains and losses and are calculated after payment of preferred dividends. This compares to operating earnings of $81.4 million, or $1.52 per share, for the first quarter of 2003. All references to per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.
PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Thiele, said, “We achieved exceptional results for the first quarter of 2004, with an annualized operating return on equity of 19% and book value growth of 7% for the quarter and 28% year over year. With our globally diversified business, strong ratings, and size, we are well positioned to achieve continued high quality earnings and generate real economic value for our shareholders over the short and long-term.”

Net premiums written for the first quarter 2004 were $1.5 billion, a 23% increase over the comparable period in 2003. Total revenues increased 11% in the quarter to $1.0 billion, including $892.8 million of net premiums earned – an increase of 11%; net investment income of $73.6 million – an increase of 20%; and net realized investment gains of $37.8 million – a decrease of 6%.
At March 31, 2004, total assets were $11.9 billion, total capitalization was $3.4 billion, and total shareholders’ equity was $2.8 billion. This compares to total assets of $10.9 billion, total capitalization of $3.2 billion, and total shareholders’ equity of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2003. Book value per common share was $45.59 on a fully diluted basis, compared to $42.48 per share at December 31, 2003.
Separately, the Company announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.34 per common share. The dividend will be payable on June 1, 2004, to common shareholders of record on May 21, 2004, with the stock trading ex-dividend commencing May 19, 2004.
Results of Operations
“We are very pleased with the performance of our operations this quarter, highlighted by a Non-Life combined ratio of 90.7%,” said Mr. Thiele. “In addition, we achieved very strong investment income growth as a result of the significant cash flow generated over the past several quarters.
“PartnerRe has now reached a level of size and diversification that adds strength and stability to our earnings. Notwithstanding several large losses in the Energy and Marine lines, including a $30 million loss on the Algerian gas plant explosion in January, we were able to produce excellent quarterly results.

“Our growth of 23% in net premiums written this quarter is positively impacted by a number of factors and is therefore not indicative of full year expected growth. The Non-Life segment premiums written reflect refinements in the process used for estimating premiums written, whereby we recognized during the first quarter full year estimated net premiums written of $146 million on certain portfolio treaties, as opposed to reporting these premiums progressively over the year. This change, however, will have no impact on full year premiums written.”
Mr. Thiele added, “Our results this quarter underscore what we believe is one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry. This quarter’s results include $59 million of reductions to prior period reserves. This change is consistent with our reserving philosophy, whereby we reserve the current year prudently, and adjust reserves as appropriate based upon the emergence of actual data or new circumstances after the risk period ends and client reports are received. We are convinced this approach leads to a stronger reserve position and greater balance sheet integrity.”
Results by Segment
As of January 2004, the Company is reporting separately on its Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) business as a new reporting segment in addition to the Company’s other two segments, Non-Life and Life. The ART segment includes finite reinsurance, structured finance, weather related products, as well as the results of the Company’s investment in Channel Re.
The Non-Life segment reported net premiums written of $1.4 billion for the quarter, an increase of 25%. The combined ratio was 90.7% for the first quarter compared to 93.2% for the same period in 2003. The Non-Life technical result increased 44% to $125 million. The results for this quarter include approximately $59 million of reductions to prior period reserves, in light of recent information received from clients.
The U.S. Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 25% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $376 million, an 18% increase over the prior year’s first quarter, driven by growth in specialty casualty lines and motor business. Net premiums earned increased 14% during the quarter when compared to the same period in 2003. The technical ratio for this segment was 93.3%, compared to 96.0% in the first quarter of 2003.
The Global (Non-U.S.) Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 31% of total net premiums written, reported net premiums written of $469 million for the

| Pembroke, Bermuda HM 08 |
first quarter of 2004, compared to $305 million in 2003. A substantial portion of the growth in reported net premiums written relates to an increase of $146 million stemming from refinements in the process used for estimating premiums written on certain portfolio treaties, which was largely offset by a corresponding increase in unearned premiums. Net premium earned during the quarter were $255 million, as compared to $202 million in last year’s first quarter. The technical ratio for this segment was 98.7% compared to 92.2% for the same period in 2003.
The Worldwide Specialty business, which represented approximately 39% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $596 million for the first quarter, a 12% increase over the prior year period. Net premiums earned increased 3% during the quarter. This sub-segment’s technical ratio of 68.9%, compared to 80.7% for the first quarter of 2003, reflects strong results in several lines, particularly catastrophe, special risk, and aviation, despite a number of large losses in marine and energy. The results for this quarter include a reduction in reserves for prior years of approximately $66 million, based upon most recent information received from clients.
The Life segment, which markets coverages primarily in Europe, Canada and Latin America, and represented approximately 5% of total net premiums written, reported net premiums written of $83 million for the quarter, a marginal increase over the first quarter of 2003. The allocated technical result for the quarter was a loss of $4 million, compared to a gain of $1 million for the comparable period in 2003. This quarter’s results include a $5 million charge to reduce deferred acquisition costs for the segment’s discontinued U.S. annuity business.
The ART segment comprises finite reinsurance, structured finance, weather related products, and in the future will include the results of the Company’s recent investment in Channel Re. Premiums are not a representative measure of activity in ART, as reinsurance accounting does not apply for much of the business in this segment. The ART segment generally recognizes gross margins, net spreads, or changes in the value of derivative instruments on its various transactions either on the “premium written”, “premium earned”, “investment income”, or “other income” line of the income statement, according to applicable accounting guidance. The ART segment reported a technical result of $2 million for the first quarter of 2004, as compared to nil in the first quarter of 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, positive results in the segment’s credit business were partly offset by losses in the segment’s weather business.

Commentary and Outlook
“As previously reported, we maintained our excellent book of business at the January 1 renewals,” said Mr. Thiele. “In the Non-Life segment, market conditions have softened in the shorter tail lines, but profitability remains attractive. Casualty lines remained strong, and we have had excellent production in this area. As noted previously, we increased our book of business by over 5% at the January 1 renewals.
“We have made significant progress towards our stated plan for 2004 of $3.9 billion in net premiums written, a minimum of $6.90 in operating earnings per share, a 17% operating return on beginning equity, and combined ratio between 92-95%, barring any unusually large loss events.”
_____________________________________________
The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and operating return on beginning equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains and losses from the sale of investments, which is driven by the timing of the disposition of investments and not by our operating performance. For planning purposes, the Company does not anticipate realized investment gains or losses. The Company also uses technical ratio and technical result as measures of underwriting performance. These metrics exclude overhead expenses. All references to per share amounts in this press release are on the basis of fully diluted shares. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statement amounts to conform to the current year presentation and the new segment presentation.
