Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 24, 2005 PartnerRe. Ltd. reported a net loss of $288.7 million, or $5.48 per share, for the third quarter of 2005. This net loss includes net after-tax realized gains on investments of $47.8 million or $0.88 per share. Net income for the third quarter of 2004 including net after-tax realized gains on investments of $21.0 million or $0.39 per share, was $83.2 million or $1.46 per share on a fully diluted basis. The operating loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $345.2 million or $6.36 per share. This compares to operating earnings of $57.3 million, or $1.07 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2004. Operating earnings exclude net after-tax realized investment gains and losses and are calculated after payment of preferred dividends.
Summary unaudited consolidated financial data for the period is set out below.

| (a) | Net income/(loss) per share is defined as net income/(loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Net income/(loss) available to common shareholders is defined as net income/(loss) less preferred dividends. Net operating earnings/(loss) is net income/(loss) available to common shareholders excluding after-tax net realized gains/losses on investments. Net operating earnings/(loss) per share is defined as net operating earnings/(loss) divided by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding for the period. Per share results referenced in the text of this report are on a fully diluted basis. As the effect of dilutive securities would have been antidilutive in the three months and nine months of 2005, the fully diluted per share figures for these periods were compiled using the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding. |
Net premiums written for the third quarter 2005 were $770.8 million, a decrease of 4% from the third quarter of 2004.

Results by Segment
The Non-Life segment reported net premiums written of $660 million for the third quarter, down 7% as compared to last year. The combined ratio was 156.3% for the third quarter compared to 99.5% for the same period in 2004. The Non-Life technical result was a loss of $407 million for the third quarter of 2005, reflecting the impact of Hurricane Katrina and the other significant losses of the quarter. This compares to a gain of $53 million in the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months, Non-Life net premiums written were $2.6 billion, down 10% from the same period in 2004. The nine month technical result was a loss of $201 million, compared to a gain of $291 million for the same period in 2004. The combined ratio for the nine month period was 114.6% compared to 94.2% in 2004.
Hurricane Katrina, as well as the other losses of the third quarter, impacted the technical results of both the U.S. Property and Casualty and the Worldwide Specialty sub-segments. In total, the results contain approximately $510 million in estimated losses from Hurricane Katrina, approximately $65 million in estimated losses from the Central European floods, and approximately $35 million in estimated losses from Hurricane Rita. All estimates are pre-tax and after reinstatement premiums. In total, these three events accounted for approximately 77 points to the combined ratio. In the third quarter of 2004, the combined ratio of 99.5% included $137 million or 16 points from the four Florida/Caribbean hurricanes.
The U.S. Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 24% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $187 million, down 20% over the prior year’s third quarter. The reduction is the result of prior underwriting year premium adjustments, with the balance due to higher retentions by cedants and PartnerRe’s decision to decline some business. Net premiums earned decreased 12% during the quarter when compared to the same period in 2004. The technical ratio for this sub-segment was 155.5%, compared to 118.1% in the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months of 2005, net premiums written declined by 20% to $649 million. The nine-month technical ratio was
115.0% compared to 102.0% in 2004. The technical result for the nine months was a loss of $94 million compared to a loss of $13 million in 2004.
The Global (Non-U.S.) Property and Casualty business, which represented approximately 18% of total net premiums written, reported net premiums written of $137 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $154 million for the same period in 2004. Net premiums earned during the quarter were $191 million, down 11% from $213 million in last year’s third quarter. The technical ratio for this sub-segment was 88.1% compared to 99.7% for the same period in 2004. For the nine months, net premiums written were down 12% to $724 million. The nine-month technical ratio was 91.0% compared to 101.2% in 2004. The technical result for the nine months was a gain of $58 million compared to a loss of $8 million in 2004.
The Worldwide Specialty business, which represented approximately 44% of total net premiums written for the quarter, reported net premiums written of $336 million for the third quarter, up 5% over the prior year period. Net premiums earned increased 2% during the quarter. This sub-segment’s technical ratio was 178.4% compared to 76.4% for the third quarter of 2004. For the nine-month period, net premiums written were down 2% to $1.2 billion. The nine-month technical ratio was 115.2% compared to 72.2% in 2004. The technical result for the nine months was a loss of $165 million compared to a gain of $312 million in 2004.
The Life segment, which markets coverages primarily in Europe, Canada and Latin America, and represented approximately 13% of total net premiums written in the quarter, reported net premiums written of $103 million for the quarter, up 6% when compared with the third quarter of 2004. The allocated underwriting result for the quarter was a gain of $3 million compared to a breakeven result for the comparable period in 2004. For the nine month period, net premiums written increased 15% to $325 million, with an allocated underwriting gain of $9 million, compared to a loss of $4 million for the comparable period in 2004.
The ART (Alternative Risk Transfer) segment comprises structured risk transfer, structured finance, weather related products, and the results of the Company’s investment in Channel Re. The pre-tax contribution to net income, including the Company’s interest in the earnings of Channel Re, was a gain of $4 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $1 million for the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine months of 2005, the pre-tax contribution to net income was a gain of $17 million compared to $2 million for the same period in 2004.
Balance Sheet Items
During the third quarter, invested assets increased 3% to $9.0 billion as strong investment results and incremental cash flow offset the effects of rising interest rates. Gross Non-life loss and loss expense reserves increased by 12% to $6.5 billion reflecting initial reserves for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the central European floods, as well as prior year reserve reductions of $90 million. The overall prior year adjustments to Non-life reserves include $24 million in reserve additions to the U.S. P&C sub-segment, and reserve reductions of $25 million in the Global (Non-U.S.) P&C sub-segment and $89 million in the Worldwide Specialty sub-segment.
At September 30, 2005, total assets were $13.2 billion, total capitalization was $3.5 billion, and total shareholders’ equity was $3.1 billion. This compares to total assets of $12.5 billion, total capitalization of $3.8 billion, and total shareholders’ equity of $3.4 billion at December 31, 2004. Book value per common share at September 30, 2005 was $46.68 on a fully diluted basis compared to $50.99 per share at December 31, 2004. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased and cancelled 604,949 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $38 million.
The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and operating return on beginning common shareholders’ equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of
realized gains and losses from the sale of investments, which is driven by the timing of the disposition of investments and not by our operating performance. For planning purposes, the Company does not anticipate realized investment gains or losses. The Company also uses technical ratio and technical result as measures of underwriting performance. These metrics exclude other operating expenses. All references to per share amounts in the text of this report are on the basis of fully diluted shares.
Forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on the Company’s assumptions and expectations concerning future events and financial performance and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. PartnerRe’s forward-looking statements could be affected by numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable events and developments such as exposure to catastrophe, or other large property and casualty losses including losses from Hurricane Wilma, adequacy of reserves, risks associated with implementing business strategies, levels and pricing of new and renewal business achieved, credit, interest, currency and other risks associated with the Company’s investment portfolio, changes in accounting policies, and other factors identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The third quarter’s results are impacted by losses associated with Hurricane Katrina and other catastrophes. The Company’s loss estimates are subject to a level of uncertainty arising out of these losses’ extremely complex and unique causation and related coverage issues associated with the attribution of losses to wind or flood damage or other perils. We expect that these issues will not be resolved for a considerable period of time and may be influenced by evolving legal and regulatory developments. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information contained herein, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information or statements.
