Third Point Re Reports Second Quarter 2016 Earnings Results

Gross Premiums Written of $196.9 million
Net Income of $53.4 million
HAMILTON, Bermuda, August 4, 2016, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (“Third Point Re” or the “Company”) (NYSE:TPRE) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Third Point Re reported net income of $53.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $15.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Third Point Re reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $66.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, diluted book value per share increased by $0.51 per share, or 4.1%, to $12.88 per share from $12.37 per share as of March 31, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, diluted book value per share increased by $0.03 per share, or 0.2%, to $12.88 per share from $12.85 per share as of December 31, 2015.
“During the second quarter, we generated premiums written of $196.9 million, an increase of 6.9% compared to the prior year’s second quarter. Our combined ratio for the quarter was 119.2%, which was disappointing and reflects adverse development on several contracts in the quarter.  Market conditions in the lines of business that we focus on continue to present challenges in finding profitable underwriting opportunities,” commented John Berger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our investments performed well in the second quarter. We generated an investment return of 4.0% in the second quarter and a further 2.6% in July bringing the year to date return through July to 4.6%.”

Segment Highlights
Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written increased by $12.7 million, or 6.9%, to $196.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $184.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Gross premiums written decreased by $3.6 million, or 0.9%, to $394.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $397.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Net premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $12.7 million, or 10.6%, to $133.1 million. Net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $10.4 million, or 4.0%, to $269.9 million.
The net underwriting loss and combined ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 included increases in the net underwriting loss of $12.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively, related to changes in estimates of prior years’ loss reserves and the related impact of acquisition costs compared to $2.0 million and $3.0 million increases in the net underwriting loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The net impact of the adverse loss development for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to:
$4.4 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to one multi-line contract written since 2014. This contract contains underlying commercial auto physical damage and auto extended warranty exposure. The adverse loss experience is a result of an increase in the number of reported claims and inadequate pricing in certain segments of the underlying business;
$4.3 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to a workers’ compensation contract written in 2012, 2013, and 2014 under which we have been experiencing claims developing with higher than anticipated severity, which led to an increase in our previous loss assumptions on this contract;
$2.7 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to our Florida homeowners’ reinsurance contracts primarily as a result of higher than anticipated water damage claims and an increase in the practice of assignment of benefits whereby homeowners assign their rights for filing and settling claims to attorneys and public adjusters, which has led to increases in the frequency of claims reported as well as the severity of losses and loss adjustment expenses. Contracts for which we experienced this adverse loss development have not been renewed; and
$1.9 million of net adverse underwriting loss development relating to non-standard auto contracts during the period, primarily due to the inability of cedents to promptly react to increasing frequency and severity trends, resulting in underpriced business and adverse selection.
Investments
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Third Point Re recorded net investment income of $86.3 million, compared to $38.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The return on investments managed by the Company’s investment manager, Third Point LLC, was 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 1.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Third Point Re recorded net investment income of $46.2 million, compared to $103.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The return on investments managed by the Company’s investment manager, Third Point LLC, was 1.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The positive return for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily a result of Third Point LLC’s credit portfolio. Within credit, we saw positive performance in our sovereign, structured, and corporate portfolios. Within equities, significant gains in the healthcare and industrials sectors were partially offset by losses in hedges and the technology, media and telecommunications sector.  Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, outperformance from several core portfolio positions within our long equity portfolio were more than offset by losses from one healthcare position. The macro and other category reduced returns in the first half of 2016 as a result of a markdown of a private position and negative performance from several currency and macroeconomic hedges.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
Book Value per Share and Diluted Book Value per Share
Book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Book value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders by the number of issued and outstanding shares at period end, net of treasury shares. Diluted book value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders and adjusted to include unvested restricted shares and the exercise of all in-the-money options and warrants. For unvested restricted shares with a performance condition, we include the unvested restricted shares for which we consider vesting to be probable. We believe that long-term growth in diluted book value per share is the most important measure of our financial performance because it allows management and investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, we believe this metric is used by investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in our industry that also report a similar measure.
Net Investment Income on Float
Net investment income on float is an important aspect of our property and casualty reinsurance operation. In an insurance or reinsurance operation, float arises because premiums from reinsurance contracts and proceeds from deposit accounted contracts are collected before losses are paid. In some instances, the interval between receipts and payments can extend over many years. During this time interval, insurance and reinsurance companies invest the premiums received and generate investment returns. Float is not a concept defined by U.S. GAAP and therefore, there are no comparable U.S. GAAP measures and as a result, is considered to be a non-GAAP measure. We believe that net investment income generated on float is an important consideration in evaluating the overall contribution of our property and casualty reinsurance operation to our consolidated results. It is also explicitly considered as part of the evaluation of management’s performance for purposes of long-term incentive compensation.
Net Investment Return on Investments Managed by Third Point LLC
Net investment return represents the return on our investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, net of non-controlling interest. The stated return is net of withholding taxes, which are presented as a component of income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager.
Return on Beginning Shareholders’ Equity
Return on beginning shareholders’ equity as presented is a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on beginning shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing net income by the beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders. We believe this metric is used by investors to supplement measures of our profitability. For the periods ended June 30, 2016, we have also adjusted the beginning shareholders’ equity for the impact of the shares repurchased on a weighted average basis. This adjustment increased the stated returns on beginning shareholders’ equity.
