NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “RenaissanceRe”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. In particular, statements using words such as “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. For example, we may include certain forward-looking statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with regard to trends in results, prices, volumes, operations, investment results, margins, combined ratios, fees, reserves, market conditions, risk management and exchange rates. This Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements with respect to our business and industry, such as those relating to our strategy and management objectives, market standing and product volumes, competition and new entrants in our industry, industry capital, insured losses from loss events, government initiatives and regulatory matters affecting the reinsurance and insurance industries.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be considered as a representation by us or any other person that our current objectives or plans will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those addressed by the forward-looking statements, including the following:
•the frequency and severity of catastrophic and other events we cover;
•the effectiveness of our claims and claim expense reserving process;
•the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe climate events;
•the highly competitive nature of our industry, resulting in consolidation of competitors, customers and insurance and reinsurance brokers, and our reliance on a small and decreasing number of brokers;
•our ability to maintain our financial strength ratings;
•the effect of emerging claims and coverage issues;
•collection on claimed retrocessional coverage, and new retrocessional reinsurance being available on acceptable terms;
•the uncertainty of the continuing and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including measures taken in response thereto and the effect of legislative, regulatory and judicial influences on our potential reinsurance, insurance and investment exposures, or other effects that it may have;
•our exposure to credit loss from counterparties;
•the effect of continued challenging economic conditions throughout the world;
•the performance of our investment portfolio and financial market volatility;
•a contention by the United States (the “U.S.”) Internal Revenue Service that any of our Bermuda subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the U.S.;
•the effects of U.S. tax reform legislation, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) or European Union measures and possible future tax reform legislation and regulations, including changes to the tax treatment of our shareholders or investors in our joint ventures or other entities we manage;
•the effect of cybersecurity risks, including technology breaches or failure;
•the effects of inflation;
3

•our ability to successfully implement our business strategies and initiatives, and the success of any of our strategic investments or acquisitions, including our ability to manage our operations as our product and geographical diversity increases;
•our ability to attract and retain key executives and employees;
•our ability to effectively manage capital on behalf of investors in joint ventures or other entities we manage;
•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
•soft reinsurance underwriting market conditions;
•losses we could face from terrorism, political unrest or war;
•our ability to determine any impairments taken on our investments;
•the ability of our ceding companies and delegated authority counterparties to accurately assess the risks they underwrite;
•the effect of operational risks, including system or human failures;
•our ability to raise capital if necessary;
•our ability to comply with covenants in our debt agreements;
•changes to the accounting rules and regulatory systems applicable to our business, including changes in Bermuda laws or regulations or as a result of increased global regulation of the insurance and reinsurance industries;
•our dependence on the ability of our operating subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;
•aspects of our corporate structure that may discourage third-party takeovers and other transactions;
•difficulties investors may have in serving process or enforcing judgments against us in the U.S.;
•the cyclical nature of the reinsurance and insurance industries;
•adverse legislative developments that reduce the size of the private markets we serve or impede their future growth and other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting us;
•our ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws; and
•our need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements.
As a consequence, our future financial condition and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us. The factors listed above, which are discussed in more detail in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2020, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our prospectus supplement dated July 7, 2021, should not be construed as exhaustive. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the risk factors contained in this Form 10-Q may have the effect of heightening many of the risks contained in our Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described below.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from these statements.
Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, the results of operations and cash flows for any interim period will not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations and cash flows for the full fiscal year or subsequent quarters.
12

USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the reserve for claims and claim expenses; reinsurance recoverable and premiums receivable, including provisions for reinsurance recoverable and premiums receivable to reflect expected credit losses; estimates of written and earned premiums; fair value, including the fair value of investments, financial instruments and derivatives; impairment charges; deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired and the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). Among other things, ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The use of fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities with resulting unrealized gains or losses is pervasive within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined under accounting guidance currently applicable to the Company as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. The Company recognizes the change in unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value in its consolidated statements of operations.
FASB ASC Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures prescribes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
•Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices obtained from active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which the Company has access at the measurement date. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by the Company;
•Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, broker quotes and certain pricing indices; and
•Level 3 inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In these cases, significant management assumptions can be used to establish management’s best estimate of the assumptions used by other market participants in determining the fair value of the asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
In order to determine if a market is active or inactive for a security, the Company considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the spread between what a seller is asking for a security and what a buyer is bidding for the same security, the volume of trading activity for the security in question, the price of the security compared to its par value (for fixed maturity investments), and other factors that may be indicative of market activity.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s valuation techniques, nor have there been any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or Level 2 and Level 3 during the period represented by these consolidated financial statements.

Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Fixed Maturity Investments
Fixed maturity investments included in Level 1 consist of the Company’s investments in U.S. treasuries. Fixed maturity investments included in Level 2 are agencies, non-U.S. government, non-U.S. government-backed corporate, corporate, agency mortgage-backed, non-agency mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed.
The Company’s fixed maturity investments are primarily priced using pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as broker quotations. In general, the pricing vendors provide pricing
18

for a high volume of liquid securities that are actively traded. For securities that do not trade on an exchange, the pricing services generally utilize market data and other observable inputs in matrix pricing models to determine month end prices. Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Index pricing generally relies on market traders as the primary source for pricing; however, models are also utilized to provide prices for all index eligible securities. The models use a variety of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, transactional data, dealer runs, broker-dealer quotes and corporate actions. Prices are generally verified using third-party data. Securities which are priced by an index provider are generally included in the index.
In general, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable inputs. The methodologies include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads, and performance on newly issued securities. Broker-dealers also determine valuations by observing secondary trading of similar securities. Prices obtained from broker quotations are considered non-binding, however they are based on observable inputs and by observing secondary trading of similar securities obtained from active and non-distressed markets.
The Company considers these broker quotations to be Level 2 inputs as they are corroborated with other market observable inputs. The techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are detailed below by asset class.
U.S. Treasuries
Level 1 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s U.S. treasuries fixed maturity investments were primarily priced by pricing services and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.8% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2020 - 0.4% and AA, respectively). When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including active broker-dealers. Certain data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source is used for each issue and maturity date.
Agencies
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.0% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2020 - 0.9% and AA, respectively). The issuers of the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments primarily consist of the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. Fixed maturity investments included in agencies are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data.
Non-U.S. Government
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.9% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2020 - 0.5% and AAA, respectively). The issuers of securities in this sector are non-U.S. governments and their respective agencies as well as supranational organizations. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.
Non-U.S. Government-backed Corporate
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.2% and a weighted average credit quality of AA
19

(December 31, 2020 - 1.0% and AA, respectively). Non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high quality credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread to the respective curve for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.
Corporate
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments principally consisted of U.S. and international corporations and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.5% and a weighted average credit quality of BBB (December 31, 2020 - 2.2% and BBB, respectively). The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. In certain instances, securities are individually evaluated using a spread which is added to the U.S. treasury curve or a security specific swap curve as appropriate.
Agency Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments included agency residential mortgage-backed securities with a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.8%, a weighted average credit quality of AA and a weighted average life of 5.2 years (December 31, 2020 - 1.0%, AA and 3.8 years, respectively). The Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services using a mortgage pool specific model which utilizes daily inputs from the active to-be-announced market which is very liquid, as well as the U.S. treasury market. The model also utilizes additional information, such as the weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon and other available pool level data which is provided by the sponsoring agency. Valuations are also corroborated with active market quotes.
Non-agency Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s non-agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.9%, a weighted average credit quality of non-investment grade and a weighted average life of 5.7 years (December 31, 2020 - 3.0%, non-investment grade and 5.2 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services using an option adjusted spread model or other relevant models, which principally utilize inputs including benchmark yields, available trade information or broker quotes, and issuer spreads. The pricing services also review collateral prepayment speeds, loss severity and delinquencies among other collateral performance indicators for the securities valuation, when applicable.
Commercial Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s commercial mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.6%, a weighted average credit quality of AA , and a weighted average life of 4.2 years (December 31, 2020 - 1.5%, AAA and 5.0 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services discount the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using a spread adjusted benchmark yield based on the characteristics of the security.
20

Asset-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.6%, a weighted average credit quality of AA and a weighted average life of 4.8 years (December 31, 2020 - 1.8%, AA and 3.2 years, respectively). The underlying collateral for the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments primarily consists of collateralized loan obligations and other receivables. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services determine the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using historical prepayment and default projections for the underlying collateral and current market data. In addition, a spread is applied to the relevant benchmark and used to discount the cash flows noted above to determine the fair value of the securities held in this sector.
Short Term Investments
Level 2 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s short term investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.0% and a weighted average credit quality of AAA (December 31, 2020 - 0.1% and AAA, respectively). The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of short term investments is generally determined using amortized cost which approximates fair value and, in certain cases, in a manner similar to the Company’s fixed maturity investments noted above.
Equity Investments, Classified as Trading
Level 1 - The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity investments, classified as trading is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including applicable securities exchanges. All data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source was used for each security.
Other Investments
Catastrophe Bonds
Level 2 - The Company’s other investments include investments in catastrophe bonds which are recorded at fair value based on broker or underwriter bid indications.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Derivatives
Level 1 and Level 2 - Other assets and liabilities include certain derivatives entered into by the Company. The fair value of these transactions includes certain exchange traded futures contracts which are considered Level 1, and foreign currency contracts and certain credit derivatives, determined using standard industry valuation models and considered Level 2, as the inputs to the valuation model are based on observable market inputs. For credit derivatives, these inputs include credit spreads, credit ratings of the underlying referenced security, the risk-free rate and the contract term. For foreign currency contracts, these inputs include spot rates and interest rate curves.

Other Investments
Private Equity Investments
Level 3 - At September 30, 2021, the Company’s other investments included $84.6 million of private equity investments which are recorded at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of internal valuation models. The Company measured the fair value of these investments using multiples of net tangible book value of the underlying entity. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these investments are liquidity discount rates applied to each of the net tangible book value multiples used in the internal valuation models, and discount rates applied to the expected cash flows of the underlying entity in various scenarios. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. Generally, an increase in the liquidity discount rate or discount rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of these private equity investments.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Assumed and Ceded (Re)insurance Contracts
Level 3 - At September 30, 2021, the Company had a $5.5 million net liability related to assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts accounted for at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of an internal valuation model. The inputs to the internal valuation model are principally based on proprietary data as observable market inputs are generally not available. The most significant unobservable inputs include the assumed and ceded expected net cash flows related to the contracts, including the expected premium, acquisition expenses and losses; the expected loss ratio and the relevant discount rate used to present value the net cash flows. The contract period and acquisition expense ratio are considered an observable input as each is defined in the contract. Generally, an increase in the net expected cash flows and expected term of the contract and a decrease in the discount rate, expected loss ratio or acquisition expense ratio, would result in an increase in the expected profit and ultimate fair value of these assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value
The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The Company’s (re)insurance contracts are excluded from the fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance, unless the Company elects the fair value option, and therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed herein. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, receivables for investments sold, certain other assets, payables for investments purchased, certain other liabilities, and other financial instruments not included herein approximated their fair values.
Debt
Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021 were debt obligations of $1.1 billion (December 31, 2020 - $1.1 billion). At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was $1.2 billion (December 31, 2020 – $1.3 billion).
The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is determined using indicative market pricing obtained from third-party service providers, which the Company considers Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no changes during the period in the Company’s valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations. Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” for additional information related to the Company’s debt obligations.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Company has elected to account for certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value using the guidance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for these assets and liabilities. Below is a summary of the balances the Company has elected to account for at fair value:

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |
| Other investments | $ | 1,738,737 |  |  | $ | 1,256,948 |  |
| Other assets | $ | 7,445 |  |  | $ | 8,982 |  |
| Other liabilities | $ | 12,966 |  |  | $ | 15,193 |  |

Included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were net unrealized gains of $0.9 million and $26.9 million, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of other investments (2020 – net unrealized gains of $26.4 million and losses of $18.1 million, respectively).
Measuring the Fair Value of Other Investments Using Net Asset Valuations
The table below shows the Company’s portfolio of other investments measured using net asset valuations as a practical expedient:

| At September 30, 2021 | Fair Value |  | Unfunded Commitments |  | Redemption Frequency |  | Redemption Notice Period (Minimum Days) |  | Redemption Notice Period (Maximum Days) |

Private Equity Funds and Private Credit Funds
The Company’s investments in private equity funds and private credit funds include alternative asset limited partnerships (or similar corporate structures) that invest in certain private equity and private credit asset classes including U.S. and global leveraged buyouts, U.S. direct lending, secondaries, mezzanine investments and distressed securities. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these fund investments in advance of dissolution of the applicable limited partnerships. Instead, the nature of these investments is that distributions are received by the Company in connection with the liquidation of the underlying assets of the respective fund. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships would liquidate over 5 to 10 years from inception of the respective limited partnership.
Senior Secured Bank Loan Funds
At September 30, 2021, the Company had $12.4 million invested in closed end funds which invest primarily in loans. The Company has no right to redeem its investment in these funds. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets in these closed end funds would begin to liquidate over 4 to 5 years from inception of the applicable fund.
Hedge Funds
At September 30, 2021, the Company had $11.2 million of investments in hedge funds that are primarily focused on global credit opportunities which are generally redeemable at the option of the Company.
NOTE 5. REINSURANCE
The Company purchases reinsurance and other protection to manage its risk portfolio and to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company currently has in place contracts that provide for recovery of a portion of certain claims and claim expenses, generally in excess of various retentions or on a proportional basis. In addition to loss recoveries, certain of the Company’s ceded reinsurance contracts provide for payments of additional premiums, for reinstatement premiums and for lost no-claims bonuses, which are incurred when losses are ceded to the respective reinsurance contracts. The Company remains liable to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet its obligations.
The following table sets forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on net claims and claim expenses incurred:

|  | Three months ended |  | Nine months ended |
|  | September 30, 2021 |  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2021 |  | September 30, 2020 |

In assessing an allowance for reinsurance assets, which includes premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable, the Company considers historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts, and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. In assessing future default for reinsurance assets, the Company evaluates the provision for current expected credit losses under the probability of default and loss given default method. The Company utilizes its internal capital and risk models, which use counterparty ratings from major rating agencies, and assesses the current market conditions for the likelihood of default. The Company updates its internal capital and risk models for counterparty ratings and current market conditions on a periodic basis. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses from reinsurance assets.
Premiums receivable reflect premiums written based on contract and policy terms and include estimates based on information received from both insureds and ceding companies and our own judgment. Consequently, premiums receivable include premiums reported by the ceding companies, supplemented by our estimates of premiums that are written but not reported. Due to the nature of reinsurance, ceding companies routinely report and remit premiums to us subsequent to the contract coverage period, although the time lag involved in the process of reporting and collecting premiums is typically shorter than the lag in reporting losses.
At September 30, 2021, the Company’s premiums receivable balance was $4.1 billion (December 31, 2020 - $2.9 billion). Of the Company’s premiums receivable balance as of September 30, 2021, the majority are receivable from highly rated counterparties and Lloyd’s syndicates. The provision for current expected credit losses on the Company’s premiums receivable was $3.7 million at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $6.0 million). The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company’s premiums receivable:

|  | Three months ended September 30, 2021 |  | Nine months ended September 30, 2021 |
| Beginning balance | $ | 3,725 |  |  | $ | 5,961 |  |
| Provision for allowance | 4 |  |  | (2,232) |  |
| Ending balance | $ | 3,729 |  |  | $ | 3,729 |  |

Reinsurance recoverable reflects amounts due from reinsurers based on the claim liabilities associated with the reinsured policy. The Company accrues amounts that are due from assuming companies based on estimated ultimate losses applicable to the contracts.
At September 30, 2021, the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance was $4.2 billion (December 31, 2020 - $2.9 billion). Of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2021, 47.2% is fully collateralized by our reinsurers, 51.7% is recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or higher by major rating agencies and 1.1% is recoverable from reinsurers rated lower than A- by major rating agencies (December 31, 2020 - 45.2%, 53.4% and 1.4%, respectively). The reinsurers with the three largest balances accounted for 18.5%, 8.8% and 4.4%, respectively, of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - 15.3%, 10.8% and 6.7%, respectively). The provision for current expected credit losses was $7.5 million at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $6.3 million). The three largest company-specific components of the provision for current expected credit losses represented 15.3%, 14.4% and 9.5%, respectively, of the Company’s total provision for current expected credit losses at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - 13.2%, 13.0% and 6.7%, respectively). The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable:

|  | Three months ended September 30, 2021 |  | Nine months ended September 30, 2021 |
| Beginning balance | $ | 7,024 |  |  | $ | 6,334 |  |
| Provision for allowance | 494 |  |  | 1,184 |  |
| Ending balance | $ | 7,518 |  |  | $ | 7,518 |  |

NOTE 6. RESERVE FOR CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES
The Company believes the most significant accounting judgment made by management is its estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts the Company sells. The Company establishes its claims and claim expense reserves by taking claims reported to the Company by insureds and ceding companies, but which have not yet been paid (“case reserves”), adding estimates for the anticipated cost of claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company, or incurred but not enough reported to the Company (collectively referred to as “IBNR”) and, if deemed necessary, adding costs for additional case reserves which represent the Company’s estimates for claims related to specific contracts previously reported to the Company which it believes may not be adequately estimated by the client as of that date, or adequately covered in the application of IBNR. The Company’s reserving committee, which includes members of the Company’s senior management, reviews, discusses, and assesses the reasonableness and adequacy of the reserving estimates included in our unaudited financial statements.
The following table summarizes the Company’s claims and claim expense reserves by segment, allocated between case reserves, additional case reserves and IBNR:

| At September 30, 2021 | Case Reserves |  | Additional Case Reserves |  | IBNR |  | Total |
| Property | $ | 1,265,040 |  |  | $ | 1,319,022 |  |  | $ | 4,005,279 |  |  | $ | 6,589,341 |  |

Prior Year Development of the Reserve for Net Claims and Claim Expenses
The Company’s estimates of claims and claim expense reserves are not precise in that, among other things, they are based on predictions of future developments and estimates of future trends and other variable factors. Some, but not all, of the Company’s reserves are further subject to the uncertainty inherent in actuarial methodologies and estimates. Because a reserve estimate is simply an insurer’s estimate at a point in time of its ultimate liability, and because there are numerous factors that affect reserves and claims payments that cannot be determined with certainty in advance, the Company’s ultimate payments will vary, perhaps materially, from its estimates of reserves. If the Company determines in a subsequent period that adjustments to its previously established reserves are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are identified. On a net basis, the Company’s cumulative favorable or unfavorable development is generally reduced by offsetting changes in its reinsurance recoverable, as well as changes to loss related premiums such as reinstatement premiums and redeemable noncontrolling interest, all of which generally move in the opposite direction to changes in the Company’s ultimate claims and claim expenses.
The following table details the Company’s prior year net development by segment of its liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses:

| Nine months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |
|  | (Favorable) development |  | (Favorable) development |
| Property | $ | (202,080) |  |  | $ | (31,556) |  |

| Total net (favorable) development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses | $ | (208,711) |  |  | $ | (55,383) |  |

Changes to prior year estimated claims reserves decreased the Company’s net loss by $208.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (2020 - increased net income by $55.4 million), excluding the consideration of changes in reinstatement, adjustment or other premium items, profit commissions, redeemable noncontrolling interests - DaVinciRe and Vermeer, and income tax.

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Property segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $31.6 million was primarily comprised of net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses associated with the following large catastrophe events:
•$13.4 million associated with the 2019 Large Loss Events;
•$12.3 million associated with the 2018 Large Loss Events; and
•$9.1 million associated with the 2017 Large Loss Events.
Casualty and Specialty Segment
The following table details the development of the Company’s liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses for its Casualty and Specialty segment:

| Nine months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |
|  | (Favorable) adverse development |  | (Favorable) adverse development |
| Actuarial methods - actual reported claims less than expected claims | $ | (9,612) |  |  | $ | (27,944) |  |

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – DaVinciRe
RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in DaVinciRe; however, because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinciRe’s outstanding voting rights, the consolidated financial statements of DaVinciRe are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The portion of DaVinciRe’s earnings owned by third parties is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as net (loss) income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinciRe was 28.7% at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - 21.4%).
DaVinciRe shareholders are party to a shareholders agreement which provides DaVinciRe shareholders, excluding RenaissanceRe, with certain redemption rights that enable each shareholder to notify DaVinciRe of such shareholder’s desire for DaVinciRe to repurchase up to half of such shareholder’s initial aggregate number of shares held, subject to certain limitations, such as limiting the aggregate of all share repurchase requests to 25% of DaVinciRe’s capital in any given year and satisfying all applicable regulatory requirements. If total shareholder requests exceed 25% of DaVinciRe’s capital, the number of shares repurchased will be reduced among the requesting shareholders pro-rata, based on the amounts desired to be repurchased. Shareholders desiring to have DaVinci repurchase their shares must notify DaVinciRe before March 1 of each year. The repurchase price will be based on GAAP book value as of the end of the year in which the shareholder notice is given, and the repurchase will be effective as of January 1 of the following year. The repurchase price is generally subject to a true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves after settlement of claims relating to the applicable years. Similarly, when shares are sold to DaVinci shareholders, the sale price is based on GAAP book value as of the end of the period preceding the sale and can be subject to a true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves.
2021
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, DaVinciRe completed an equity capital raise of $250.0 million, comprised of $150.9 million from third-party investors and $99.1 million from RenaissanceRe. In addition, RenaissanceRe sold an aggregate of $40.0 million of its shares in DaVinciRe to third-party investors and purchased an aggregate of $156.7 million of shares from third-party investors. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinciRe subsequent to these transactions was 28.7%.
2020
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company sold an aggregate of $10.0 million of its shares in DaVinciRe to an existing third-party investor. The Company’s noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinciRe subsequent to this transaction was 21.4%.
The Company expects its noncontrolling economic ownership in DaVinciRe to fluctuate over time.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – Vermeer
RenaissanceRe owns 100% of the voting non-participating shares of Vermeer, while the sole third-party investor, PFZW, owns 100% of the non-voting participating shares of Vermeer and retains all of the economic benefits. Vermeer is managed by RUM in return for a management fee. The Company has concluded that Vermeer is a VIE as it has voting rights that are not proportional to its participating rights,
34

and the Company is the primary beneficiary of Vermeer. As a result, the Company consolidates Vermeer and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. As PFZW owns all of the economics of Vermeer, all of Vermeer’s earnings are allocated to PFZW in the consolidated statement of operations as net (loss) income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company has not provided any financial or other support to Vermeer that it was not contractually required to provide.

NOTE 9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Upsilon RFO
RenaissanceRe indirectly owns a portion of the participating non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO and all of Upsilon RFO’s voting Class A shares. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholder) participate in all of the profits or losses of Upsilon RFO while their shares remain outstanding. The shareholders (other than the voting Class A shareholder) indemnify Upsilon RFO against losses relating to insurance risk, and therefore, these shares have been accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance.
Upsilon RFO is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Upsilon RFO as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Upsilon RFO and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to Upsilon RFO, in accordance with the accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidates Upsilon RFO and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Other than its equity investment in Upsilon RFO, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Upsilon RFO that it was not contractually required to provide.

Mona Lisa Re provides reinsurance capacity to subsidiaries of RenaissanceRe through reinsurance agreements which are collateralized and funded by Mona Lisa Re through the issuance of one or more series of principal-at-risk variable rate notes to third-party investors.
Upon issuance of a series of notes by Mona Lisa Re, all of the proceeds from the issuance are deposited into collateral accounts, separated by series, to fund any potential obligation under the reinsurance agreements entered into with Renaissance Reinsurance and/or DaVinci underlying such series of notes. The outstanding principal amount of each series of notes generally will be returned to holders of such notes upon the expiration of the risk period underlying such notes, unless an event occurs which causes a loss under the applicable series of notes, in which case the amount returned will be reduced by such noteholder’s pro rata share of such loss, as specified in the applicable governing documents of such notes.
In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable quarterly, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes.
The Company concluded that Mona Lisa Re meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company evaluated its relationship with Mona Lisa Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Mona Lisa Re as it does not have the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Mona Lisa Re, in accordance with the accounting guidance. As a result, the financial position and results of operations of Mona Lisa Re are not consolidated by the Company.
The only transactions related to Mona Lisa Re that are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are the ceded reinsurance agreements entered into by Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance, and the fair value of the principal-at-risk variable rate notes owned by the Company. Other than its investment in the principal-at-risk variable rate notes of Mona Lisa Re, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Mona Lisa Re that it was not contractually required to provide.
Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci have together entered into ceded reinsurance contracts with Mona Lisa Re with ceded premiums written of $39.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (2020 - $24.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively).

Effective June 29, 2021, Mona Lisa Re issued a series of principal-at-risk variable rate notes to investors for a total principal amount of $250.0 million. Effective January 10, 2020, Mona Lisa Re issued two series of principal-at-risk variable rate notes to investors for principal amounts of $250.0 million and $150.0 million.

The fair value of the Company’s investment in the principal-at-risk variable rate notes of Mona Lisa Re is included in other investments.

In addition, as of September 30, 2021 the Company has invested $0.1 million in Langhorne Partners (December 31, 2020 - $0.1 million), the general partner for Langhorne and the entity which manages the third-party investors investing into Langhorne Holdings.
The Company concluded that Langhorne Holdings meets the definition of a VIE as the voting rights are not proportional with the obligations to absorb losses and rights to receive residual returns. The Company evaluated its relationship with Langhorne Holdings and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Langhorne Holdings, as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Langhorne Holdings. As a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Langhorne Holdings. The Company separately evaluated Langhorne Partners and concluded that it was not a VIE. The Company accounts for its investments in Langhorne Holdings and Langhorne Partners under the equity method of accounting, one quarter in arrears.
The Company anticipates that its absolute investment in Langhorne will increase, perhaps materially, as in-force life and annuity blocks of businesses are written.

Other than its current and committed future equity investment in Langhorne, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Langhorne that it was not contractually required to provide.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, forward contracts and other derivative contracts primarily to manage its foreign currency exposure, obtain exposure to a particular financial market, for yield enhancement, or for trading and to assume risk. The Company’s derivative instruments can be exchange traded or over-the-counter, with over-the-counter derivatives generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish the terms of the transactions entered into with the Company’s derivative counterparties. In the event a party becomes insolvent or otherwise defaults on its obligations, a master agreement generally permits the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ marked-to-market values so that a single sum in a single currency will be owed by, or owed to, the non-defaulting party. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure. Where the Company has entered into master netting agreements with counterparties, or the Company has the legal and contractual right to offset positions, the derivative positions are generally netted by counterparty and are reported accordingly in other assets and other liabilities.
The Company is not aware of the existence of any credit-risk related contingent features that it believes would be triggered in its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at September 30, 2021.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company uses interest rate futures and swaps within its portfolio of fixed maturity investments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, which may result in increasing or decreasing its exposure to this risk.
Interest Rate Futures
The fair value of interest rate futures is determined using exchange traded prices. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $1.9 billion of notional long positions and $0.7 billion of notional short positions of primarily Eurodollar and U.S. treasury futures contracts (December 31, 2020 - $2.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively).
Interest Rate Swaps
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the relevant exchange traded price where available or a discounted cash flow model based on the terms of the contract and inputs, including, where applicable, observable yield curves. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $39.0 million (December 31, 2020 - $23.5 million) of notional positions receiving a fixed rate denominated in U.S. dollar swap contracts.
Foreign Currency Derivatives
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company writes a portion of its business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and may, from time to time, experience foreign exchange gains and losses in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The impact of changes in exchange rates on the Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, excluding non-monetary assets and liabilities, are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Underwriting and Non-investments Operations Related Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company’s foreign currency policy with regard to its underwriting operations is generally to enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts for notional values that approximate the foreign currency liabilities, including claims and claim expense reserves and reinsurance balances payable, net of any cash, investments and receivables held in the respective foreign currency. The Company’s use of foreign currency forward and option contracts is intended to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities associated with its underwriting operations. The Company may determine not to match a portion of its projected underwriting related assets or liabilities with underlying foreign currency exposure with investments in the same currencies, which would increase its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and potentially increase the impact and volatility of foreign exchange gains and losses on its results of operations. The fair value of the Company’s underwriting operations related foreign currency contracts is determined using indicative pricing obtained from counterparties or broker quotes. At September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding underwriting related foreign currency contracts of $853.7 million in notional long positions and $321.4 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2020 - $661.4 million and $504.2 million, respectively).
Investment Portfolio Related Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company’s investment operations are exposed to currency fluctuations through its investments in non-U.S. dollar fixed maturity investments, short term investments and other investments. From time to time, the Company may employ foreign currency forward contracts in its investment portfolio to either assume foreign currency risk or to economically hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations from these investments. The fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio related foreign currency forward contracts is determined using an interpolated rate based on closing forward market rates. At September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding investment portfolio related foreign currency contracts of $266.0 million in notional long positions and $103.7 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2020 - $269.5 million and $117.5 million, respectively).
49

Credit Derivatives
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is primarily due to its fixed maturity investments, short term investments, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable. From time to time, the Company may purchase credit derivatives to manage its exposures in the insurance industry, and to assist in managing the credit risk associated with ceded reinsurance. The Company also employs credit derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume credit risk or manage its credit exposure.
Credit Default Swaps
The fair value of the Company’s credit default swaps is determined using industry valuation models, broker bid indications or internal pricing valuation techniques. The fair value of these credit default swaps can change based on a variety of factors including changes in credit spreads, default rates and recovery rates, the correlation of credit risk between the referenced credit and the counterparty, and market rate inputs such as interest rates. At September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding credit default swaps of $158.3 million in notional positions to assume credit risk, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2020 - $96.8 million).
Total Return Swaps
From time to time, the Company uses total return swaps as a means to manage spread duration and credit exposure in its investment portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s total return swaps is determined using broker-dealer bid quotations, market-based prices from pricing vendors or valuation models. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $50.0 million of notional long positions denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2020 - $Nil).
Equity Derivatives
Equity Futures
From time to time, the Company uses equity derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume equity risk or hedge its equity exposure. The fair value of the Company’s equity futures is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding equity futures, respectively.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
Foreign Currency Derivatives
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries use non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign exchange forwards to hedge currencies, which currently includes the Australian dollar and Euro net investment in foreign operations, on an after-tax basis, from changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies.
The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the fair value of its net investment in a foreign operation. The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts that were formally designated as hedges of its investment in subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. There was no ineffectiveness in these transactions.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER ITEMS
There are no material changes from the commitments, contingencies and other items previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on reinsurance treaties or contracts or direct surplus lines insurance policies. In the Company’s industry, business litigation may involve allegations of underwriting or claims-handling errors or misconduct, disputes relating to the scope of, or compliance with, the terms of delegated underwriting agreements, employment claims, regulatory actions or disputes arising from the Company’s business ventures. The Company’s operating subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving, among other things, disputed interpretations of policy coverages. Generally, the Company’s direct surplus lines insurance operations are subject to greater frequency and diversity of claims and claims-related litigation than its reinsurance operations and, in some jurisdictions, may be subject to direct actions by allegedly injured persons or entities seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, involving or arising out of claims on policies issued by the Company’s subsidiaries which are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of business, are considered in its loss and loss expense reserves. In addition, the Company may from time to time engage in litigation or arbitration related to its claims for payment in respect of ceded reinsurance, including disputes that challenge the Company’s ability to enforce its underwriting intent. Such matters could result, directly or indirectly, in providers of protection not meeting their obligations to the Company or not doing so on a timely basis. The Company may also be subject to other disputes from time to time, relating to operational or other matters distinct from insurance or reinsurance claims. Any litigation or arbitration, or regulatory process contains an element of uncertainty, and the value of an exposure or a gain contingency related to a dispute is difficult to estimate. The Company believes that no individual litigation or arbitration to which it is presently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business or operations.

OVERVIEW
RenaissanceRe is a global provider of reinsurance and insurance. We provide property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and certain insurance solutions to customers, principally through intermediaries. Established in 1993, we have offices in Bermuda, Australia, Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S. Our operating subsidiaries include Renaissance Reinsurance, Renaissance Reinsurance U.S. Inc., RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. Ltd. (“RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S.”), RenaissanceRe Europe AG (“RREAG”), Renaissance Reinsurance of Europe Unlimited Company and our Lloyd’s syndicate, RenaissanceRe Syndicate 1458 (“Syndicate 1458”). We also underwrite reinsurance on behalf of joint ventures, including DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. (“DaVinci”), Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Top Layer Re”), Upsilon RFO Re Ltd. (“Upsilon RFO”) and Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Vermeer”). In addition, through RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), we invest in various insurance-based investment instruments that have returns primarily tied to property catastrophe risk.
Our mission is to match desirable, well-structured risks with efficient sources of capital to achieve our vision of being the best underwriter. We believe that this will allow us to produce superior returns for our shareholders over the long term, and to protect communities and enable prosperity. We seek to accomplish these goals by being a trusted, long-term partner to our customers for assessing and managing risk, delivering responsive and innovative solutions, leveraging our core capabilities of risk assessment and information management, investing in these core capabilities in order to serve our customers across market cycles, and keeping our promises. Our strategy focuses on superior risk selection, superior customer relationships and superior capital management. We provide value to our customers and joint venture and managed fund partners in the form of financial security, innovative products, and responsive service. We are known as a leader in paying valid claims promptly. We principally measure our financial success through long-term growth in tangible book value per common share plus the change in accumulated dividends. We believe this metric is the most appropriate measure of our financial performance, and in respect of which we believe we have delivered superior performance over time. The principal drivers of our profit are underwriting income, investment income, and fee income generated by our third-party capital management business.
Our core products include property, casualty and specialty reinsurance, and certain insurance products principally distributed through intermediaries, with whom we have cultivated strong long-term relationships. We believe we have been one of the world’s leading providers of catastrophe reinsurance since our founding. In recent years, through the strategic execution of several initiatives, including organic growth and acquisitions, we have expanded and diversified our casualty and specialty platform and products, and believe we are a leader in certain casualty and specialty lines of business. We also pursue a number of other opportunities, such as creating and managing our joint ventures and managed funds, executing customized reinsurance transactions to assume or cede risk, and managing certain strategic investments directed at classes of risk other than catastrophe reinsurance. From time to time we consider diversification into new ventures, either through organic growth, the formation of new joint ventures or managed funds, or the acquisition of, or the investment in, other companies or books of business of other companies.
We have determined our business consists of the following reportable segments: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures and managed funds, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures and managed funds.
To best serve our clients in the places they do business, we have operating subsidiaries, branches, joint ventures, managed funds and underwriting platforms around the world. We write property and casualty and specialty reinsurance through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, joint ventures, managed funds and Syndicate 1458 and certain insurance products primarily through Syndicate 1458 and RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. Syndicate 1458 provides us with access to Lloyd’s extensive distribution network and worldwide licenses, and also writes business through delegated authority arrangements. The underwriting results of our operating subsidiaries and underwriting platforms are included in our Property and Casualty and Specialty segment results as appropriate.
55

A meaningful portion of the reinsurance and insurance we write provides protection from damages relating to natural and man-made catastrophes. Our results depend to a large extent on the frequency and severity of these catastrophic events, and the coverages we offer to customers affected by these events. We are exposed to significant losses from these catastrophic events and other exposures we cover, which primarily impact our Property segment, in both the property catastrophe and other property lines of business. Accordingly, we expect a significant degree of volatility in our financial results and our financial results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year, based on the level of insured catastrophic losses occurring around the world. Our Casualty and Specialty business, which represents approximately half of our gross premiums written annually, is an efficient use of capital that is generally less correlated with our Property business. It allows us to bring additional capacity to our clients, across a wider range of product offerings, while continuing to be good stewards of our shareholders’ capital.
We continually explore appropriate and efficient ways to address the risk needs of our clients and the impact of various regulatory and legislative changes on our operations. We have created and managed, and continue to manage, multiple capital vehicles across several jurisdictions and may create additional risk bearing vehicles or enter into additional jurisdictions in the future. In addition, our differentiated strategy and capabilities position us to pursue bespoke or large solutions for clients, which may be non-recurring. This, and other factors including the timing of contract inception, could result in significant volatility of premiums in both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. As our product and geographical diversity increases, we may be exposed to new risks, uncertainties and sources of volatility.
Our revenues are principally derived from three sources: (1) net premiums earned from the reinsurance and insurance policies we sell; (2) net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains from the investment of our capital funds and the investment of the cash we receive on the policies which we sell; and (3) fee income received from our joint ventures and managed funds, advisory services and various other items.
Our expenses primarily consist of: (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred on the policies of reinsurance and insurance we sell; (2) acquisition costs which typically represent a percentage of the premiums we write; (3) operating expenses which primarily consist of personnel expenses, rent and other operating expenses; (4) corporate expenses which include certain executive, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, transaction and integration-related expenses, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company; (5) redeemable noncontrolling interests, which represent the interests of third parties with respect to the net income of DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinciRe”), Medici and Vermeer; and (6) interest and dividend costs related to our debt and preference shares. We are also subject to taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Since the majority of our income is currently earned in Bermuda, which does not have a corporate income tax, the tax impact to our operations has historically been minimal. In the future, our net tax exposure may increase as our operations expand geographically, or as a result of adverse tax developments.
The underwriting results of an insurance or reinsurance company are discussed frequently by reference to its net claims and claim expense ratio, underwriting expense ratio, and combined ratio. The net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by dividing net claims and claim expenses incurred by net premiums earned. The underwriting expense ratio is calculated by dividing underwriting expenses (acquisition expenses and operational expenses) by net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the net claims and claim expense ratio and the underwriting expense ratio. A combined ratio below 100% indicates profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. A combined ratio over 100% indicates unprofitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. We also discuss our net claims and claim expense ratio on a current accident year basis and a prior accident years basis. The current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking current accident year net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned. The prior accident years net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking prior accident years net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned.
Segments
Our reportable segments are defined as follows: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures and managed funds, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty
56

reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures and managed funds. In addition to our two reportable segments, we have an Other category, which primarily includes our strategic investments, investments unit, corporate expenses, capital servicing costs, noncontrolling interests and certain expenses related to acquisitions and disposals.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the ongoing and rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition, including our potential loss exposures. It is not yet possible to give an estimate of all of the Company’s potential reinsurance, insurance or investment exposures, or any other effects that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our results of operations or financial condition. We continue to evaluate industry trends and information received from or reported by clients, brokers, industry actuaries, regulators, courts, and others, and expect historically significant industry losses to emerge over time as the full impact of the pandemic and its effects on the global economy are realized.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting estimates include “Claims and Claim Expense Reserves,” “Premiums and Related Expenses,” “Reinsurance Recoverables,” “Fair Value Measurements and Impairments” and “Income Taxes,” and are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $450.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $47.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $498.0 million. As a result of our net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders in the third quarter of 2021, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of negative 28.4% and our book value per common share decreased from $139.35 at June 30, 2021 to $128.91 at September 30, 2021, a 7.2% decrease, after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.
58

The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the third quarter of 2021, on a comparative basis to the third quarter of 2020, include:
•Impact of Catastrophe Events - we had a net negative impact on net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $726.8 million resulting from the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses (as defined below). This compares to a net negative impact on net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $321.7 million resulting from the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events (as defined below);
•Underwriting Results - we incurred an underwriting loss of $678.8 million and had a combined ratio of 145.1% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to underwriting loss of $206.1 million and a combined ratio of 120.6% in the third quarter of 2020. Our underwriting loss in the third quarter of 2021 was comprised of our Property segment, which incurred an underwriting loss of $681.9 million and had a combined ratio of 183.5%, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $3.1 million and had a combined ratio of 99.6%. In comparison, our underwriting loss in the third quarter of 2020 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated an underwriting loss of $206.6 million, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $0.6 million;
Our underwriting results in the third quarter of 2021 were principally impacted by the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $1.0 billion and added 73.8 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in the Property segment. The third quarter of 2020 was impacted by the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $422.4 million and added 43.4 percentage points to the combined ratio;
•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written increased by $631.1 million, or 55.2%, to $1.8 billion, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020. This was comprised of an increase of $345.9 million in our Property segment and $285.2 million in our Casualty and Specialty segment. In our Property segment, gross premiums written included reinstatement premiums of $254.9 million associated with the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses in the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $52.9 million of reinstatement premiums associated with the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events in the third quarter of 2020;
•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments, was income of $36.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $307.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $271.6 million. The primary driver of the lower total investment result in the third quarter of 2021 was net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $42.1 million, principally within our fixed maturity and equity investments trading portfolios, partially offset by net realized and unrealized gains on other investments. The higher investment results in the third quarter of 2020 were favorably impacted by the recovery in global financial markets following the disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and
•Net Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $198.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by losses resulting from the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses across our consolidated joint ventures in the third quarter of 2021.
59

Net Negative Impact
Net negative impact on underwriting result includes the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) assumed and ceded reinstatement premiums earned and (3) earned and lost profit commissions. Net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders is the sum of (1) net negative impact on underwriting result and (2) redeemable noncontrolling interest. Our estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of our potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. Our actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, may vary from these estimates, perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur.
Meaningful uncertainty remains regarding the estimates and the nature and extent of the losses from catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of each event, the geographic areas impacted by the events, relatively limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in loss estimation, among other things.
The financial data below provides additional information detailing the net negative impact on our consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of 2021 from the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses.

Property Gross Premiums Written
In the third quarter of 2021, our Property segment gross premiums written increased by $345.9 million, or 80.9%, to $773.7 million, compared to $427.8 million in the third quarter of 2020.
Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $335.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $155.8 million, or 86.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase in gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by $246.6 million of reinstatement premiums associated with the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, as compared to $52.9 million of reinstatement premiums in the third quarter of 2020 associated with the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events. Excluding the impact of the reinstatement premiums in each of the respective periods discussed above, gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business declined. The decline was largely driven by the non-recurrence of certain bespoke deals written in the third quarter of 2020, and movement in other reinstatement premiums, primarily related to favorable development on prior year losses in the third quarter of 2021.
Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $438.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $190.1 million, or 76.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase in gross premiums written in the other property class of business was primarily driven by rate improvements, which contributed to growth in new and existing business written in the current and prior periods across underwriting platforms, notably within catastrophe exposed U.S. property excess and surplus lines.

Property Ceded Premiums Written

| Three months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |

| Ceded premiums written | $ | 92,597 |  |  | $ | 49,057 |  |  | $ | 43,540 |  |

Ceded premiums written in our Property segment were $92.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $43.5 million, or 88.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase in ceded premiums written was driven by ceded reinstatement premiums earned of $40.0 million associated with the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses.
Property Underwriting Results
Our Property segment incurred an underwriting loss of $681.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to underwriting loss of $206.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, our Property segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 162.1%, an underwriting expense ratio of 21.4% and a combined ratio of 183.5%, compared to 114.4%, 25.6% and 140.0%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020.
Principally impacting the underwriting result and combined ratio in the third quarter of 2021 were the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $1.0 billion and added 140.5 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio. In comparison, the third quarter of 2020 was principally impacted by the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $412.8 million and added 84.4 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio.
The decrease in the net claims and claim expense ratio for prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 28.3% for the catastrophe class of business and 5.3% for the other property class of business in the quarter, primarily related to the 2017 to 2019 accident years. The underwriting expense ratio decreased 4.2 percentage points, driven by an improvement of 2.7 percentage points in the acquisition expense ratio primarily from reinstatement premiums associated with the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses.
See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.

Casualty and Specialty Gross Premiums Written
In the third quarter of 2021, our Casualty and Specialty segment gross premiums written increased by $285.2 million, or 39.9%, to $1.0 billion, compared to $715.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by growth in the professional liability, general casualty and other specialty lines of business. This growth was principally driven by increases in new and existing business written in the current and prior periods, combined with rate improvements.
Casualty and Specialty Ceded Premiums Written

| Three months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Ceded premiums written | $ | 195,143 |  |  | $ | 194,590 |  |  | $ | 553 |  |

Ceded premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment increased by $0.6 million, to $195.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $194.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, primarily resulting from increased gross premiums written subject to our retrocessional quota share reinsurance programs, partially offset by a decrease in retrocessional purchases.
Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results
Our Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to underwriting income of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 68.8%, an underwriting expense ratio of 30.8% and a combined ratio of 99.6%, compared to 72.6%, 27.3% and 99.9%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020.
The net claims and claim expense ratio decreased 3.8 percentage points in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020, principally a result of lower current accident year losses. Included in
64

the current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio is 3.5 percentage points related to the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses.
The increase in the underwriting expense ratio in the third quarter of 2021 was driven by an increase of 4.0 percentage points in the net acquisition expense ratio, principally due to reduced profit commissions in the mortgage guaranty book in the third quarter of 2020. This was partially offset by a decrease in the operating expense ratio driven by improved operating leverage in the third quarter of 2021.

The table above shows total fee income earned through third-party capital management, as well as various joint ventures, managed funds and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party. Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be zero or negative in a particular period if, for example, large losses occur, which can potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees. Joint ventures include DaVinciRe, Top Layer Re, Vermeer and certain entities investing in Langhorne Holdings LLC. Managed funds include RenaissanceRe Upsilon Fund Ltd. (“Upsilon Fund”) and Medici. Structured reinsurance products and other includes certain reinsurance contracts and certain other vehicles through which we transfer risk to capital.
In the third quarter of 2021, total fee income earned through third-party capital management, various joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party increased $10.0 million, to $28.3 million, compared to $18.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher performance fee income in the third quarter of 2021 resulting from favorable development on prior year events and a lower amount of performance fees available to be reversed in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020. This was partially offset by lower management fee income primarily due to a deferral of management fees related to DaVinci as a result of the Q3 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses.
The fees earned through third-party capital management are principally recorded through redeemable noncontrolling interest, or as an increase to underwriting income, (reduction to underwriting loss), through a decrease in operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as detailed in the table below.

In addition to the $19.4 million of fee income earned through joint ventures, managed funds and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party that is recorded through underwriting income, as detailed above, we also earn fee income on certain other underwriting-related activities. These fees are recorded as a reduction to operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as applicable. The total fees recorded through underwriting income are detailed in the table below.

Net investment income was $78.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $83.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $5.3 million. Impacting our net investment income for the third quarter of 2021 were lower yields in our fixed maturity and short-term investments portfolios, primarily as a result of a general decline in credit spreads and an increased allocation to lower yielding short term and U.S. treasury investments from other fixed maturity investments as compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Our investment portfolio strategy is structured to emphasize the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet our claims obligations and to be well diversified across market sectors. A large majority of our investments are invested in the fixed income markets and, therefore, our net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are highly correlated to fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads. Therefore, everything else being constant, as interest rates or credit spreads decline, we will tend to have realized and unrealized gains from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, and as interest rates and credit spreads rise, we will tend to have realized and unrealized losses from our fixed maturity investments portfolio.
Net realized and unrealized losses on investments were $42.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $224.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of $266.3 million. Principally impacting our net realized and unrealized losses on investments in the third quarter of 2021 were:
•net realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity investments trading of $29.4 million compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $72.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease in net realized and unrealized gains of $101.3 million. The net realized and unrealized losses in the third quarter of 2021 were driven by increasing yields on medium to longer duration U.S. treasuries and an increase in credit spreads in certain fixed maturity investments. The net realized and unrealized gains in the third quarter of 2020 were due to the general decline in credit spreads following recovery in the global financial markets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic;
•net realized and unrealized losses on equity investments trading of $21.7 million compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $124.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease in net realized and unrealized gains of $145.6 million. The net realized and unrealized losses in the third quarter of 2021 were principally driven by net realized and unrealized losses of $20.8 million from our strategic investment in Trupanion, Inc.; and
•net realized and unrealized gains on our other investments of $17.0 million compared to $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, an improvement of $3.4 million, principally driven by fair value appreciation of underlying investments which favorably impacted our portfolio of fund investments.

Net Foreign Exchange (Losses) Gains

| Three months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Net foreign exchange (losses) gains | $ | (4,755) |  |  | $ | 17,426 |  |  | $ | (22,181) |  |

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We routinely write a portion of our business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and invest a portion of our cash and investment portfolio in those currencies. Certain of our subsidiaries use non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign exchange gains and losses in our consolidated financial statements. We are primarily impacted by foreign currency exposures associated with our underwriting operations, investment portfolio, and operations with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, and may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.
In the third quarter of 2021, net foreign exchange losses were $4.8 million compared to a $17.4 million net foreign exchange gain in the third quarter of 2020. The net foreign exchange loss was primarily driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici and foreign exchange losses generated by underwriting activities.
Refer to “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information related to our exposure to foreign currency risk and “Note 13. Derivative Instruments” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to foreign currency forward and option contracts we have entered into.

Corporate Expenses

| Three months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |

Corporate expenses include certain executive, director, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company.
Corporate expenses decreased to $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease of $37.9 million was primarily due to higher expenses resulting from the sale of RenaissanceRe UK and executive compensation charges in the third quarter of 2020.

We recognized an income tax benefit $23.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in income tax benefit is primarily driven by underwriting losses in our taxable jurisdictions and unrealized investment losses in our U.S. based operations.

Net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders was $284.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $541.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As a result of our net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of negative 5.8% and our book value per common share decreased from $138.46 at December 31, 2020 to $128.91 at September 30, 2021, a 6.1% decrease, after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.
The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, on a comparative basis to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, include:
•Impact of Catastrophe Events - in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we had a net negative impact on net loss attributable to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $908.7 million resulting from the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses (as defined below).
•Underwriting Results - we incurred an underwriting loss of $385.6 million and had a combined ratio of 110.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to underwriting income of $75.1 million and a combined ratio of 97.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our underwriting loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was comprised of an underwriting loss of $408.6 million in our Property segment, partially offset by $23.0 million of underwriting income in our Casualty and Specialty segment. In comparison, our underwriting income in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated underwriting income of $141.3 million, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which incurred an underwriting loss of $66.1 million.
Included in our underwriting results in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was the impact of the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $1.3 billion and added 36.8 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in the Property segment. In comparison, our underwriting results in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by the 2020 Large Loss Events (as defined below), which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $428.7 million and added 15.0 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in the Property segment.
•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written increased by $1.7 billion, or 33.9%, to $6.5 billion, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, with an increase of $883.2 million in the Property segment and an increase of $766.9 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment, driven by growth from both new and existing business across a number of our underwriting platforms, rate improvements, and, in our Property segment, reinstatement premiums of $345.2 million associated with 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, as compared to $53.0 million of reinstatement premiums associated with the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events.
•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, was income of $42.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $834.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $791.8 million. The primary driver of the lower total investment result, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were realized and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity and equity investments trading portfolios, partially offset by net realized and unrealized gains on other investments. The higher investment results in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were favorably impacted by the market recovery following the disruption in global financial markets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $131.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a net income of $236.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses across our consolidated joint ventures and managed funds in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $2.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $400.3 million, or 21.9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business included $336.9 million of reinstatement premiums associated with the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses. In addition, an improved rate environment contributed to growth with existing clients and new opportunities across underwriting platforms.
Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $1.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $483.0 million, or 56.0%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in gross premiums written in the other property class of business was primarily driven by rate improvements which contributed to growth in new and existing business written in the current and prior periods across underwriting platforms. This included growth in catastrophe exposed U.S. property excess and surplus lines.

Property Ceded Premiums Written

| Nine months ended September 30, | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Ceded premiums written | $ | 1,081,177 |  |  | $ | 933,400 |  |  | $ | 147,777 |  |

Ceded premiums written in our Property segment increased 15.8%, to $1.1 billion, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $933.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in ceded premiums written was principally due to an increase in gross premiums written which were ceded to third-party investors in our managed vehicles, primarily Upsilon Fund, and $50.8 million of ceded reinstatement premiums earned associated with the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses. As part of our gross-to-net strategy, the amount of ceded premiums written increased on an absolute basis, however the percentage of ceded premiums written relative to gross premiums written decreased.
Property Underwriting Results
Our Property segment incurred an underwriting loss of $408.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to underwriting income of $141.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $549.9 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our Property segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 96.9%, an underwriting expense ratio of 23.7% and a combined ratio of 120.6%, compared to 63.0%, 27.1% and 90.1%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Principally impacting the Property segment underwriting result and combined ratio in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $1.3 billion and added 74.0 percentage points to the combined ratio. In addition, the underwriting expense ratio decreased by 3.4 percentage points, primarily driven by the higher net premiums earned, including $294.4 million of net reinstatement premiums earned from the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses. In comparison, the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by the 2020 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $428.7 million and added 15.0 percentage points to the combined ratio.
The decrease in the net claims and claim expense ratio for prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 17.2% for the catastrophe class of business and 2.2% for the other property class of business, primarily related to the 2017 to 2019 accident years. The underwriting expense ratio decreased 3.4 percentage points, principally driven by improved operating leverage, combined with higher net premiums earned as a result of the reinstatement premiums associated with the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses.
See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.

Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results
Our Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $23.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to an underwriting loss of $66.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 67.6%, an underwriting expense ratio of 31.2% and a combined ratio of 98.8%, compared to 75.2%, 29.2% and 104.4%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The underwriting loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was principally
76

driven by net claims and claim expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic of $113.7 million, which added 7.6 percentage points to the combined ratio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The decrease in the Casualty and Specialty segment combined ratio in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was principally driven by a decrease of 7.6 percentage points in the net claims and claim expense ratio, primarily as a result of the impact of losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior period. Additionally, our Casualty and Specialty segment experienced net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses of $6.6 million, or 0.4 percentage points, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net favorable development during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses. See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.
The increase in the underwriting expense ratio in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by an increase in the net acquisition expense ratio, principally due to the effect of reduced profit commissions associated with the increased losses on our mortgage guaranty book, as well as the effects of purchase accounting amortization related to the acquisition of TMR, which improved the ratio in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by continued improvement in operating leverage.

The decrease was primarily driven by the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses, as well as investment losses, and a decrease in Medici net income due to foreign exchange losses that were primarily attributable to noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financial Condition
As a Bermuda-domiciled holding company, RenaissanceRe has limited operations of its own. Its assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries and cash and securities in amounts which fluctuate over time. We therefore rely on dividends and distributions (and other statutorily permissible payments) from our subsidiaries, investment income and fee income to meet our liquidity requirements, which primarily include making principal and interest payments on our debt and dividend payments to our preference and common shareholders.
The payment of dividends by our subsidiaries is, under certain circumstances, limited by the applicable laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. In addition, insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity. We believe that each of our insurance subsidiaries and branches exceeded the minimum solvency, capital and surplus requirements in their applicable jurisdictions at September 30, 2021. Certain of our subsidiaries and branches are required to file financial condition reports (“FCRs”) with their regulators, which provide details on solvency and financial performance. Where required, these FCRs will be posted on our website. The regulations governing our and our principal operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity, and requirements to file FCRs are discussed in detail in “Part I, Item 1. Business, Regulation” and “Note 18. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Cash Flows
Holding Company Liquidity
RenaissanceRe’s principal uses of liquidity are: (1) common share related transactions including dividend payments to our common shareholders and common share repurchases, (2) preference share related transactions including dividend payments to our preference shareholders and preference share redemptions, (3) interest and principal payments on debt, (4) capital investments in our subsidiaries, (5) acquisition of new or existing companies or businesses and (6) certain corporate and operating expenses.
We attempt to structure our organization in a way that facilitates efficient capital movements between RenaissanceRe and our operating subsidiaries and to ensure that adequate liquidity is available when required, giving consideration to applicable laws and regulations, and the domiciliary location of sources of liquidity and related obligations. For example, our internal investment structures and cash pooling arrangements among the Company and certain of our subsidiaries help to efficiently facilitate capital and liquidity movements.
In the aggregate, our principal operating subsidiaries have historically produced sufficient cash flows to meet their expected claims payments and operational expenses and to provide dividend payments to us. In addition, our subsidiaries maintain a concentration of investments in high quality liquid securities, which management believes will provide additional liquidity for extraordinary claims payments should the need arise. However, in some circumstances, RenaissanceRe may contribute capital to its subsidiaries. For example, during 2019, RenaissanceRe contributed capital to RenaissanceRe Specialty Holdings (UK) Limited to fund the acquisition of TMR and made a capital contribution to Renaissance Reinsurance to increase its shareholders’ equity, consistent with past practice following a significant acquisition and to support growth in premiums, in 2020, RenaissanceRe contributed capital to RREAG to support additional growth in our European business, and in 2021 we contributed capital to RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. Ltd. to support additional underwriting activities. In addition, from time to time we invest in new managed joint ventures or managed funds, increase our investments in certain of our managed joint ventures or managed funds and contribute cash to investment subsidiaries. In certain instances, we are required to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries, for example, Renaissance Reinsurance is obligated to make a mandatory capital contribution of up to $50.0 million in the event that a loss reduces Top Layer Re’s capital below a specified level.
Sources of Liquidity
Historically, cash receipts from operations, consisting primarily of premiums, investment income and fee income, have provided sufficient funds to pay the losses and operating expenses incurred by our subsidiaries and to fund dividends and distributions to RenaissanceRe. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities.
The premiums received by our operating subsidiaries are generally received months or even years before losses are paid under the policies related to such premiums. Premiums and acquisition expenses generally are received within the first two years of inception of a contract, while operating expenses are generally paid within a year of being incurred. It generally takes much longer for net claims and claims expenses incurred to be reported and ultimately settled, requiring the establishment of reserves for claims and claim expenses and losses recoverable. Therefore, the amount of net claims paid in any one year is not necessarily related to the amount of net claims and claims expenses incurred in that year, as reported in the consolidated statement of operations.
While we expect that our liquidity needs will continue to be met by our cash receipts from operations, relatively low investment yields, and the nature of our business where a large portion of the coverages we provide can produce losses of high severity and low frequency, future cash flows from operating activities cannot be accurately predicted and may fluctuate significantly between individual quarters and years. In addition, due to the magnitude and complexity of certain large loss events, meaningful uncertainty remains regarding losses from these events and our actual ultimate net losses from these events may vary materially from preliminary estimates, which would impact our cash flows from operations.
Our “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act allows for the public offering of various types of securities, including common shares, preference shares and debt securities, and thus
82

provides a source of liquidity. Because we are a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, we are also eligible to file additional automatically effective registration statements on Form S-3 in the future for the potential offering and sale of additional debt and equity securities.
Credit Facilities
In addition, we, and certain of our subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds, maintain credit facilities that provide liquidity and allow us to satisfy certain collateral requirements. The outstanding amounts drawn under each of our significant credit facilities are set forth below:

Funds at Lloyd’s
As a member of Lloyd’s, the underwriting capacity, or stamp capacity, of Syndicate 1458 must be supported by providing a deposit, the FAL, in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit. At September 30, 2021, the FAL required to support the underwriting activities at Lloyd’s through Syndicate 1458 was £686.1 million (December 31, 2020 - £696.2 million). Actual FAL posted for Syndicate 1458 at September 30, 2021 by RenaissanceRe Corporate Capital (UK) Limited was $936.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $874.2 million), supported by a $225.0 million letter of credit and a $711.2 million deposit of cash and fixed maturity securities (December 31, 2020 - $225.0 million and $649.2 million, respectively).
Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts, Multi-Beneficiary Reduced Collateral Reinsurance Trusts and Other Collateral Arrangements
Certain of our insurance subsidiaries use multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts to collateralize reinsurance liabilities. From time to time, we also use other types of collateral arrangements. Refer to “Note 18. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information on our multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts.
Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts
Assets held under trust at September 30, 2021 with respect to our multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts totaled $1.2 billion and $273.5 million for Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci, respectively (December 31, 2020 - $1.3 billion and $289.6 million, respectively), compared to the minimum amount required under U.S. state regulations of $591.1 million and $200.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $878.2 million and $270.5 million, respectively).
Multi-Beneficiary Reduced Collateral Reinsurance Trusts
Assets held under trust at September 30, 2021 with respect to our multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts totaled $131.1 million and $155.6 million for Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci, respectively (December 31, 2020 - $74.4 million and $90.1 million, respectively), compared to the minimum
83

amount required under U.S. state regulations of $122.6 million and $147.1 million, respectively (December 31, 2020 - $70.0 million and $86.5 million, respectively). RREAG established a multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trust effective January 1, 2021 and the assets held under trust at September 30, 2021 totaled $86.1 million, compared to the minimum amount required under U.S. state regulations of $76.9 million.

2021
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $296.1 million, to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2021, compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2020.
Cash flows provided by operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $801.9 million, compared to $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net loss of $391.7 million to net cash provided by operating activities, including:
•an increase in reserve for claims and claim expenses of $2.9 billion primarily resulting from net claims and claim expenses associated with the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses;
•an increase in unearned premiums of $1.3 billion due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;
•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $475.8 million principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares; partially offset by
•an increase in premiums receivable of $1.2 billion due to the timing of receipts and increase in our gross premiums written;
•an increase in reinsurance recoverable of $1.3 billion due to the increase in net claims and claim expenses and recoverables associated with the 2021 Weather-Related Large Losses;
•an increase of $314.0 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to an increase in ceded premiums written; and
•a decrease in other operating cash flows of $520.0 million primarily reflecting subscriptions received in advance of the issuance of Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares effective January 1, 2021, which were recorded in other liabilities at December 31, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, in connection with the issuance of the non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO, other liabilities were reduced by the subscriptions received in advance, and reinsurance balances payable were increased by an offsetting amount, with corresponding impacts to other operating cash flows and the change in reinsurance balances payable, as noted above, on
84

our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares.
Cash flows used in investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our cash flows used in investing activities were $654.9 million, principally reflecting net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading of $735.7 million and net purchases of other investments of $421.3 million, partially offset by cash flow from net sales of short term investments of $363.9 million and net sales of and equity investments trading of $150.8 million. The net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading was primarily funded by cash flows provided by operating activities, as described above, whereas the net purchase of other investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was primarily driven by an increased allocation to catastrophe bonds and fund investments.
Cash flows used in financing activities. Our cash flows used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $447.8 million, and were principally the result of:
•the repurchase of 4.5 million of our common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $704.5 million and an average price of $156.46 per common share;
•the redemption of all 11 million of our outstanding 5.375% Series E Preference Shares on August 11, 2021 for $275.0 million;
•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $51.7 million and $24.4 million, respectively; and partially offset by
•net inflows of $488.9 million associated with the issuance of 20 million of Depository Shares (each representing 1/1000th interest in a share of our 4.20% Series G Preference Shares), net of expenses; and
•net inflows of $128.8 million primarily related to net third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in Medici and DaVinci.
2020
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $91.7 million, to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2019.
Cash flows provided by operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net income of $801.4 million to net cash provided by operating activities, including:
•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $1.1 billion principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares;
•an increase in unearned premiums of $745.5 million due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;
•an increase in reserve for claims and claim expenses of $675.1 million primarily the result of net claims and claim expenses associated with the 2020 Large Loss Events, partially offset by a reduction in net claims and claim expenses of $155.2 million due to the sale of RenaissanceRe UK; partially offset by
•an increase in premiums receivable of $736.1 million due to the timing of receipts and increase in our gross premiums written;
85

•net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $561.9 million principally driven by higher realized gains generated on the sale of fixed maturity investments trading and higher overall returns in our portfolio of equity investments trading, partially offset by lower overall returns in our portfolio of other investments;
•an increase of $314.5 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to the timing of payments and increase in ceded premiums written; and
•a decrease in other operating cash flows of $267.4 million primarily reflecting subscriptions received in advance of the issuance of Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares effective January 1, 2020, which were recorded in other liabilities at December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in connection with the issuance of the non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO, other liabilities were reduced by the subscriptions received in advance, and reinsurance balances payable were increased by an offsetting amount, with corresponding impacts to other operating cash flows and the change in reinsurance balances payable, as noted above, on our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares.
Cash flows used in investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cash flows used in investing activities were $2.1 billion, principally reflecting net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading, short term investments and other investments of $1.5 billion, $549.2 million and $101.3 million, respectively. The net purchase of fixed maturity investments trading was primarily funded by cash flows provided by operating activities, as described above, and the issuance of RenaissanceRe common shares during the second quarter of 2020, whereas the net purchase of short term investments was primarily associated with capital received from investors in Upsilon RFO during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net purchase of other investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily driven by an increased allocation to catastrophe bonds. Partially offsetting these net outflows in our cash flows used in investing activities was net proceeds of $136.7 million from the sale of RenaissanceRe UK during the third quarter of 2020.
Cash flows provided by financing activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $632.3 million, and were principally the result of:
•the issuance of 6,325,000 of our common shares in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $166.00 per share, combined with an additional $75.0 million raised through the issuance of 451,807 of our common shares at a price of $166.00 per share to State Farm, one of our existing stockholders, in a private placement. The total net proceeds from the offerings were $1.1 billion;
•net inflows of $59.1 million primarily related to net third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in Medici and Vermeer; partially offset by
•the repayment in full at maturity the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, plus applicable accrued interest, of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2020 of RenRe North America Holdings Inc. and RenaissanceRe Finance, Inc. (“RenaissanceRe Finance”);
•the redemption of all 5 million of our outstanding Series C 6.08% Preference Shares on March 26, 2020 for $125.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon;
•the repurchase of 406 thousand of our common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $62.6 million and an average price of $154.36 per common share; and
•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $50.8 million and $23.6 million, respectively.
Capital Resources
We monitor our capital adequacy on a regular basis and seek to adjust our capital according to the needs of our business. In particular, we require capital sufficient to meet or exceed the capital adequacy ratios established by rating agencies for maintenance of appropriate financial strength ratings, the capital
86

adequacy tests performed by regulatory authorities and the capital requirements under our credit facilities. We may seek to raise additional capital or return capital to our shareholders through common share repurchases and cash dividends (or a combination of such methods). In the normal course of our operations, we may from time to time evaluate additional share or debt issuances given prevailing market conditions and capital management strategies, including for our operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and managed funds. In addition, as noted above, we enter into agreements with financial institutions to obtain letter of credit facilities for the benefit of our operating subsidiaries and certain of our joint ventures and managed funds in their reinsurance and insurance business.
Our total shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe and debt was as follows:

(1) RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in its joint venture DaVinciRe. Because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinciRe’s outstanding voting rights, the consolidated financial statements of DaVinciRe are included in the consolidated financial statements of RenaissanceRe. However, RenaissanceRe does not guarantee or provide credit support for DaVinciRe and RenaissanceRe’s financial exposure to DaVinciRe is limited to its investment in DaVinciRe’s shares and counterparty credit risk arising from reinsurance transactions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our total shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe and debt decreased by $0.8 billion, to $7.9 billion.
Our shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe decreased $0.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 principally as a result of:
•the repurchase of 4.5 million common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $704.5 million and an average price of $156.46 per common share;
•the redemption of all Series E 5.375% Preference Shares for $275.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon;
•our comprehensive loss attributable to RenaissanceRe of $260.0 million; and
•$51.7 million and $24.4 million of dividends on our common and preference shares, respectively; and partially offset by
•raising $500.0 million in gross proceeds in July 2021 through the issuance of 20,000,000 Depositary Shares, each of which represents a 1/1,000th interest in a share of our 4.20% Series G Preference Shares.
Our debt increased $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses
We believe the most significant accounting judgment made by management is our estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts we sell. Our actual net claims and claim expenses paid will differ, perhaps materially, from the estimates reflected in our financial statements, which may adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.
Refer to “Note 8. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” included herein for more information on the risks we insure and reinsure, the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, prior year development of the reserve for claims and claim expenses, analysis of our incurred and paid claims development and claims duration information for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. In addition, refer to “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates, Claims and Claim Expense Reserves” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information on the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, our current estimates versus our initial estimates of our claims reserves, and sensitivity analysis for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments.

At September 30, 2021, we held investments totaling $20.9 billion, compared to $20.6 billion at December 31, 2020. Our investment guidelines stress preservation of capital, market liquidity, and diversification of risk. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our investments are subject to market-wide risks and fluctuations, as well as to risks inherent in particular securities. In addition to the information presented above and below, see “Note 3. Investments” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our investments and the fair value measurement of our investments, respectively.

As the reinsurance coverages we sell include substantial protection for damages resulting from natural and man-made catastrophes, as well as for potentially large casualty and specialty exposures, we expect, from time to time, to become liable for substantial claim payments on short notice. Accordingly, our investment portfolio as a whole is structured to seek to preserve capital and provide a high level of liquidity, which means that the large majority of our investment portfolio consists of highly rated fixed income securities, including U.S. treasuries, agencies, highly rated sovereign and supranational securities, high-grade corporate securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. We also have an allocation to publicly traded equities reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as equity investments trading and an allocation to other investments (including catastrophe bonds, private equity investments and fund investments).
Other Investments
The table below shows our portfolio of other investments:

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Catastrophe bonds | $ | 1,037,640 |  |  | $ | 881,290 |  |  | $ | 156,350 |  |
| Private equity investments | 84,587 |  |  | 79,807 |  |  | 4,780 |  |
| Fund investments | 616,510 |  |  | 295,851 |  |  | 320,659 |  |
| Total other investments | $ | 1,738,737 |  |  | $ | 1,256,948 |  |  | $ | 481,789 |  |

We account for our other investments at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments. The fair value of our fund investments, which principally invest in certain private equity and private credit asset classes, senior secured bank loan funds and hedge funds, is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in other investments, and is generally established on the basis of the net asset valuation criteria established by the managers of such investments, if applicable. The net asset valuation criteria established by the managers of such investments is established in accordance with the governing documents of such investments. Many of our fund investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales which are determined by the governing documents and limit our ability to liquidate these investments in the short term.
Some of our fund managers and fund administrators are unable to provide final fund valuations as of our current reporting date. We typically experience a reporting lag to receive a final net asset value report of one month for our hedge funds and senior secured bank loan funds and three months for private equity funds and private credit funds, although we have occasionally experienced delays of up to six months at year end, as certain funds typically complete their year-end audits before releasing their final net asset value statements.
In circumstances where there is a reporting lag between the current period end reporting date and the reporting date of the latest fund valuation, we estimate the fair value of these funds by starting with the prior month or quarter-end fund valuations, adjusting these valuations for actual capital calls, redemptions or distributions, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and then estimating the return for the current period. In circumstances in which we estimate the return for the current period, all information available to us is utilized. This principally includes using preliminary estimates reported to us by our fund managers, estimating returns based on the performance of broad market indices, or other valuation methods, where necessary. Actual final fund valuations may differ, perhaps materially so, from our estimates and these differences are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they are reported to us as a change in estimate. Included in net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is income of $7.0 million (2020 - loss of $2.4 million) representing the change in estimate during the period related to the difference between our estimated net realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to the lag in reporting discussed above and the actual amount as reported in the final net asset values provided by our fund managers.
Our estimate of the fair value of catastrophe bonds is based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications. See “Note 4. Fair Value
89

Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the fair value of measurement of our investments.
We have committed capital to private equity investments, fund investments and investments in other ventures of $2.3 billion, of which $1.1 billion has been contributed at September 30, 2021. Our remaining commitments to these investments at September 30, 2021 totaled $1.2 billion. In the future, we may enter into additional commitments in respect of private equity investments or individual portfolio company investment opportunities.
Ratings
Financial strength ratings are important to the competitive position of reinsurance and insurance companies. We have received high long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings from A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”), as applicable. These ratings represent independent opinions of an insurer’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet policyholder obligations, and are not an evaluation directed toward the protection of investors or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities. Rating organizations continually review the financial positions of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and ratings may be revised or revoked by the agencies which issue them.

SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In March 2020, the SEC issued Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (“Release 33-10762”). Release 33-10762 simplifies the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of SEC Regulation S-X, permitting registrants to provide certain alternative financial disclosures and non-financial disclosures in lieu of separate consolidating financial statements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities if certain conditions are met. The amendments in Release 33-10762 are generally effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021, with
90

early application permitted. We adopted the new disclosure requirements permitted under Release 33-10762 effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
RenaissanceRe Finance, a 100% owned subsidiary of RenaissanceRe, is the issuer of certain 3.700% Senior Notes due 2025 and 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027, each of which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by RenaissanceRe. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of RenaissanceRe and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of RenaissanceRe which may be outstanding from time to time. Each series of notes contain various covenants, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, and restrictions as to the disposition of, and the placing of liens on, stock of designated subsidiaries. For additional information related to the terms of our outstanding debt securities, see “Note 9. Debt and Credit Facilities” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” included herein.
The following tables present supplemental summarized financial information for RenaissanceRe and RenaissanceRe Finance (the “Obligor Group”). Intercompany transactions among the members of the Obligor Group have been eliminated. The financial information of non-obligor subsidiaries has been excluded from the summarized financial information. Significant intercompany transactions and receivable/payable balances between the Obligor Group and non-obligor subsidiaries are presented separately in the summarized financial information:

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
General economic inflation has increased and there is a risk of inflation remaining elevated for an extended period, which could, among other things, cause claims and claim expenses to increase and also impact the performance of our investment portfolio. This risk may be exacerbated by the steps taken by governments and central banks throughout the world in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The actual effects of the current and potential future increase in inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until, among other items, claims are ultimately settled. The onset, duration and severity of an inflationary period cannot be estimated with precision. We consider the anticipated effects of inflation on us in our catastrophe loss models and on our investment portfolio. Our estimates of the potential effects of inflation are also considered in pricing and in estimating reserves for unpaid claims and claim expenses. The potential exists, after a catastrophe loss, for the development of inflationary pressures in a local economy.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET AND SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY ARRANGEMENTS
At September 30, 2021, we had not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In the normal course of business, we are party to a variety of contractual obligations as summarized in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We consider these contractual obligations when assessing our liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2021, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations as disclosed in the table of contractual obligations and related footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
CURRENT OUTLOOK
General Economic Conditions
In 2021, we have continued to grow gross premiums written across both of our segments, and have broadened our access to risk, writing more lines of business on more platforms. We have diversified our sources of capital through various owned and managed balance sheets as well as equity, debt and insurance-linked securities markets. This has afforded us significant flexibility to react when the world changes.
We have been actively managing our capital in 2021. We believe that our shares have been trading at attractive levels, which provides us with additional options to manage excess capital. If this trend continues, we expect to utilize our strong capital position to continue to return excess capital to shareholders. The
92

relative attractiveness of our shares as compared to other capital deployment opportunities increases the hurdle rate against deploying excess capital into our business and furthers our focus on writing business that we believe will create superior returns for shareholders. When possible, our preference is to deploy any excess capital into profitable business opportunities before returning excess capital to shareholders.
In the third quarter of 2021, we also reduced our cost of capital by redeeming our more expensive Series E Preference Shares and replacing them with a new issuance of less expensive Series G Preference Shares. Having the right capital at the right time has allowed us to pivot quickly and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
We believe the stresses in the global economy will continue and that this may result in increased market volatility. The ongoing period of low interest rates may affect our ability to derive investment income from our investments. As interest rates begin to rise from historic lows, we expect that we will see an increase in investment income from our investment portfolio. The effects of these interest rate trends on our reinsurance and insurance business could be magnified for longer-tail business lines that are more inflation sensitive, particularly in our Casualty and Specialty segment, and in our other property class of business within our Property segment. Notwithstanding the many uncertainties and challenges that lie ahead, we believe that our track record of responding to industry events, differentiated risk management and client service capabilities, and access to diverse sources of both capital and risk position us favorably in the current environment.
We continue to closely monitor recent tax reform proposals and announcements, including the OECD’s October 2021 announcement of a framework for instituting a global minimum corporate tax. Tax law changes globally, and in the jurisdictions where we operate, could increase tax burdens on companies operating in such jurisdictions, or operating multilaterally, or which transact in or with respect to such jurisdictions. At this time, the practical details of how a global minimum corporate tax would be implemented are not clear, so we cannot anticipate or estimate the costs to us of this or any other such future initiatives. However, we believe that the flexible global operating model that we have utilized will continue to prove resilient.
Reinsurance Market Trends and Developments
We believe that market conditions have created significant opportunities to source attractive risk in the lines of business that we write, and that we believe will result in superior returns for our shareholders. We continue to see strong growth across both segments.
We believe that we are uniquely positioned to write a variety of risks, leveraging the enhancements we made over the last several years to our risk and capital management technology and underwriting expertise to cover additional lines of business. In particular, we have invested heavily to understand the influence of climate change on the weather and its impact on the risks that we take. We plan to continue to seek to take advantage of additional opportunities throughout the year and believe that strategic decisions that we have made in prior periods have laid the foundation for these initiatives. We believe that our clients value our ability to be a long-term partner who brings access to multiple forms of capital and innovative, large-scale solutions.
In 2021, the insurance and reinsurance markets have been impacted by several significant loss events, including Hurricane Ida and the severe flooding in Northwestern Europe in the third quarter. Given these and other catastrophe events, we anticipate that retrocessional coverage may be limited in 2022, and that what is available may be more expensive, which may impact our approach in 2022.
Property. As we begin to look ahead to the January 1 renewal, we expect that we will see increased rates and better terms across our Property book as a result of the impact of catastrophe events during the year, as well as the impacts of social and price inflation and increased demand for our products due to increasing focus on the impact of climate change. In particular, we expect to see these trends materialize in the property catastrophe line of business which has experienced larger losses and smaller rate increases as compared to certain other lines of business. Additionally, we anticipate that dislocation in the other property class of business will continue to provide opportunities for growth.
Casualty and Specialty. We continue to see acceleration in the underlying rate increases across multiple lines of business and geographies within our Casualty and Specialty segment, and we expanded participation on multiple casualty and specialty lines. We believe that our book of business is beginning to
93

reflect the rate improvements that we have seen over the past several years. We think that our prior work building strong relationships with key customers allowed us to gain superior access to desirable business.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had immense impacts on a global scale, including on the insurance and reinsurance industries where it has raised many new questions and challenges for us and our industry. While we believe that we can continue to execute on our strategic plan and compete for, and meet, the demand for the protection that we provide, it is difficult to predict all of the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the markets in which we participate and our ability to effectively respond to these changing market dynamics.
See the “Risk Factors” section in our Form 10-K and our prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on July 9, 2021 for additional information on factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are principally exposed to four types of market risk: interest rate risk; foreign currency risk; credit risk; and equity price risk. Our investment guidelines permit, subject to approval, investments in derivative instruments such as futures, options, foreign currency forward contracts and swap agreements, which may be used to assume risks or for hedging purposes.
There were no material changes to these market risks, as disclosed in “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a discussion of our exposure to these risks.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, which were identified in connection with our evaluation required pursuant to Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Our share repurchase program may be effected from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. On July 28, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a renewal of our authorized share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million. Unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors, the program will expire when we have repurchased the full value of the shares authorized.

(1)On July 28, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a renewal of our authorized share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, pursuant to our publicly announced share repurchase program, we repurchased 4.5 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $704.5 million and an average price of $156.46 per common share. At September 30, 2021, $421.8 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program. Subsequent to September 30, 2021 and through the period ended October 21, 2021, we repurchased 518 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $75.3 million and an average price of $145.45 per common share. In the future, we may authorize additional purchase activities under the currently authorized share repurchase program, increase the amount authorized under the share repurchase program, or adopt additional trading plans. Our decision to repurchase common shares will depend on, among other matters, the market price of the common shares and our capital requirements.
