Commentary and Outlook
PartnerRe President and Chief Executive Officer Costas Miranthis said, “We saw a continuation of moderately declining pricing and terms in the January 1, 2011 renewals. As planned, we optimized the combined portfolio including the former PARIS RE business to improve balance and risk-adjusted returns. In the current market, this led to the non-renewal of some business and restructuring of other business. Although current market conditions remain challenging, our strong capital position, global franchise and broad capabilities position us well to take advantage of any opportunities as they arise.”
The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and annualized operating return on beginning common shareholders’ equity to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the impact of after-tax net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, after-tax net realized gain on the purchase of the CENts, and the after-tax interest in earnings/losses of equity investments, where the Company does not control the investee companies’ activities. The Company uses technical ratio and technical result as measures of underwriting performance. The technical ratio is defined as the sum of the loss and acquisition ratios. These metrics exclude other operating expenses. The Company also uses combined ratio to measure results for the Non-life segment. The combined ratio is the sum of the technical and other operating expense ratios. The Company uses total capital, which is defined as total shareholders’
