Commenting on results, PartnerRe Interim Chief Executive Officer David Zwiener said, “We continued to see challenging market conditions during the second quarter, both in terms of persistent competitive reinsurance pressures and difficult financial markets. Nevertheless, we posted strong technical results in the quarter, which when combined with our first quarter performance, resulted in an operating ROE of 8.5%. As you saw from our press release earlier this month, our tangible book value per share was impacted by increases in longer term risk-free rates both in the U.S. and Europe, resulting in a significant

mark-to-market loss on our investment portfolio. For the year to date, however, our tangible book value is up 1%.”
Mr. Zwiener added, “As we look ahead to the important fall renewal season, we are encouraged by the success of the current June/July renewals, which accounts for approximately 10% of our Non-Life treaty business. Despite continued competitive pressures, we saw some initial signs that markets are beginning to stabilize, and we wrote a number of profitable new treaties. This speaks to our strong market presence, the quality of our client relationships, and underscores the strength of the PartnerRe franchise.”
