We have accomplished this by consistently executing our strategy and maximizing the returns on each of our Three Drivers of Profit - underwriting, fee and net investment income - while optimizing our capital base through significant capital return to our investors.At the January 1 renewal, we retained the lines that we targeted and built an underwriting portfolio designed to generate returns well in excess of the cost of capital. Looking forward to 2026, we expect the combination of our attractive underwriting portfolio, strong fee and investment income and robust capital management will continue to generate long-term value for our shareholders.”

- Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class increased by $16.7 million, or 113.1%, without the impact of reinstatement premiums, while reinstatement premiums decreased by $63.4 million in Q4 2025.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year improved by 56.7 percentage points, due to:
- a comparatively lower impact from large losses in the quarter, as Q4 2024 included 47.3 percentage points from large loss events, while Q4 2025 included 10.6 percentage points from Hurricane Melissa; offset by
- favorable development on the California Wildfires of 13.6 percentage points, primarily within the catastrophe class.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development of 27.4%, driven by:
- net favorable development of $177.7 million in the catastrophe class, primarily from the large loss events in 2024 and 2022; and
- net favorable development of $74.2 million in the other property class, primarily due to reported losses coming in lower than expected from large loss events in 2024 and attritional loss experience.
- Underwriting expense ratio decreased by 2.8 percentage points, primarily driven by:
- a 2.0 percentage point decrease in the operating expense ratio, primarily due to the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in Q4 2025.
- Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio each improved primarily due to the lower current accident year net losses, partially offset by lower prior accident years net favorable development.

- Gross premiums written decreased by $34.7 million, or 2.3%, driven by decreases in the general casualty and specialty classes and partially offset by an increase in the credit class.
- Net premiums written decreased by $110.2 million, or 8.0%, consistent with the drivers for gross premiums written discussed above, in addition to an increase in the Company’s retrocessional purchases.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 1.2 percentage points as compared to Q4 2024, principally driven by the crash of UPS Airlines flight 2976 and the Grasberg mine landslide within the other specialty class, which collectively contributed 4.6 percentage points to the current accident year ratio.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years of 0.4% included an adverse impact of 0.5 percentage points from purchase accounting adjustments.
- Underwriting expense ratio decreased by 2.1 percentage points primarily due to the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in Q4 2025, and a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments principally related to the Validus Acquisition.
- Combined ratio was largely flat, and adjusted combined ratio increased due to the higher net claims and claim expense ratio.
Fee Income: $101.6 million of fee income, up 31.8% from Q4 2024

(1)Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products and may be zero or negative in a particular period. For example, large losses could potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees.
- Performance fee income increased due to strong current year underwriting results in DaVinci and Upsilon, and higher prior accident years net favorable development, primarily in Upsilon.
- Total fee income in Q4 2025 included $87.9 million of fee income recorded in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which is not included in the Company’s underwriting income (loss).

|---|
| Total investment return - annualized | 7.5% | | (2.1)% | | 9.6pts | |
|---|
- Net investment income remained consistently strong, increasing by $17.9 million, primarily due to higher average invested assets, partially offset by decreases in market yields.
- Net realized and unrealized gains on investments in Q4 2025 were driven by $121.1 million of net realized and unrealized gains on commodity-related investments, principally gold futures, as well as $41.6 million from equity-related investments.
- Total investments were $36.1 billion at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $32.6 billion). The weighted average yield to maturity and duration on the Company’s investment portfolio (excluding investments that have no final maturity, yield to maturity or duration) was 4.8% and 2.6 years, respectively (December 31, 2024 - 5.4% and 2.9 years, respectively).
Other Items of Note - Fourth Quarter
- Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $387.1 million was primarily driven by:
- strong underwriting income in DaVinci and Vermeer; and
- $132.5 million of net investment income in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; partially offset by
- $87.9 million of management and performance fee income.
- Income tax expense of $116.1 million in Q4 2025, driven by strong profitability across the Company’s operating jurisdictions, including Bermuda.
- Net foreign exchange losses decreased to $15.7 million in Q4 2025 from $48.4 million in Q4 2024, primarily driven by:
- the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to underwriting activities, which impacted both Q4 2025 and Q4 2024; and
- a decrease in net foreign exchange losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici, which are allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest.
- Operational and corporate expenses decreased in Q4 2025, driven by the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in the quarter, and partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses.
- Share repurchases of 2.5 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $650.5 million and an average price of $256.46 per common share.

- Gross premiums written increased $118.4 million, or 2.5%, driven by:
- an increase in the catastrophe class of $321.3 million, or 10.7%, and included:
- an increase of $145.8 million, or 5.0%, without the impact of reinstatement premiums, driven by strong mid-year renewals with growth on existing clients as well as new underwriting opportunities; and
- an increase in reinstatement premiums of $175.5 million, due to the increased impact of the large losses in 2025 as compared to 2024; partially offset by
- a reduction in the other property class of $202.9 million, or 11.1%, primarily reflecting premium adjustments, in part due to rate decreases in the excess and surplus business.
- Net premiums written increased $210.4 million, or 5.5%, consistent with the changes in gross premiums written, in addition to a decrease in ceded premiums written as part of the Company’s gross-to-net strategy.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 12.4 percentage points, primarily as a result of:
- a higher impact from the 2025 Large Loss Events, which contributed 36.1 percentage points in 2025, compared to the large loss events in 2024, which contributed 23.0 percentage points in 2024.
- the 2025 Large Loss Events contributed 53.2 percentage points in the catastrophe class and 9.6 percentage points in the other property class.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years reflected net favorable development in 2025 of 27.4%, primarily driven by:
- net favorable development of $581.0 million from the large loss events across the 2017 to 2024 accident years, including $389.9 million from 2022 and 2024, driven by better than expected loss emergence; and
- net favorable development on small catastrophe events and attritional losses, primarily within the other property class.
- Underwriting expense ratio improved by 2.0 percentage points, primarily due to improvements in both the acquisition and operating expense ratios, reflecting an increase in net reinstatement premiums, an increase in profit commissions from Upsilon and the Bermuda tax credits, partially offset by an increase in operational expenses.
- Combined Ratio and adjusted combined ratio increased by 4.2 percentage points and 5.0 percentage points, respectively, driven by higher current accident year losses and partially offset by higher prior year favorable development.

- Gross premiums written decreased by $113.1 million, or 1.6%, driven by:
- decreases within the casualty and other specialty classes, partially offset by
- an increase in the credit class, principally due to growth on the Company’s existing mortgage book of business.

- Net claims and claim expense ratio - current accident year increased by 3.1 percentage points, principally driven by the impact of the 2025 Large Loss Events, which contributed 4.1 percentage points to the current accident year ratio.
- Net claims and claim expense ratio - prior accident years included an adverse impact of 0.5 percentage points from purchase accounting adjustments.
- Underwriting expense ratio increased by 0.4 percentage points, principally driven by changes in the mix of business from increased mortgage premium, partially offset by the Bermuda tax credits.
- Combined ratio and adjusted combined ratio increased by 4.0 percentage points, and 4.4 percentage points, respectively, each primarily due to the increase in net claims and claim expense ratio.

(1)Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be negative in a particular period. For example, large losses could potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees.
- Management fee income decreased by $12.4 million, driven by:
- a reduction in management fees from DaVinci as a result of the recapture of previously deferred management fees during 2024, compared to no recapture in 2025; and
- a decrease in management fees from AlphaCat Managers due to the continued release of trapped collateral to investors.
- Performance fee income increased by $14.4 million, driven by strong current year underwriting results in DaVinci and Upsilon, and higher prior accident years net favorable development, primarily in Upsilon.
- Total fee income in 2025 included $250.1 million of fee income recorded in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which is not included in the Company’s underwriting income (loss).

- Net investment income increased $49.2 million, primarily due to higher average invested assets, partially offset by decreases in market yields.
- Net realized and unrealized gains on investments in 2025 were primarily driven by:
- net realized and unrealized gains of $504.0 million on fixed maturity-related investments driven by market yields decreasing during 2025, net gains of $415.5 million on commodity-related investments, principally gold futures, as well as $188.3 million from equity-related investments, including equity futures.
Other Items of Note - Full Year and Subsequent Events
- Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $935.4 million was primarily driven by:
- strong underwriting results in DaVinci and Vermeer, despite the impact of the 2025 Large Loss Events; and
- $519.5 million of net investment income in the investment portfolios of the Company’s joint ventures and managed funds; partially offset by
- $250.1 million of management and performance fee income.
- Income tax expense of $396.3 million driven by strong profitability across the Company’s operating jurisdictions, including Bermuda.
- Net foreign exchange losses of $13.5 million in 2025 compared to $76.1 million in 2024 were primarily driven by:
- the impact of certain foreign exchange exposures related to underwriting activities, which affected both 2025 and 2024; and
- in 2024, net foreign exchange losses were also driven by losses attributable to third-party investors in Medici, which are allocated through net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest.
- Raised third party capital in 2025 of $943.9 million, primarily through Stratos ($260.4 million), Medici UCITS ($259.0 million), Medici ($208.2 million), Fontana ($129.2 million) and DaVinci ($69.7 million). Stratos is a separately managed account of Upsilon focused on investing in catastrophe bonds. The subscriptions in Stratos and Medici UCITS included $260.4 million and $176.5 million transferred in kind from Medici, respectively, as noted below.
- Return of third-party capital in 2025 of $1.0 billion, including:
- $29.3 million of dividends from Medici and Top Layer, following strong earnings;
- $604.4 million in Medici, which included $436.9 million that was transferred in kind to Medici UCITS and Stratos;
- $255.1 million from Upsilon Diversified as a result of the release of collateral associated with prior years’ contracts; and
- the remainder from redemptions from third-party investors rebalancing their portfolios, primarily because of the strong results noted above.
- Effective in January 2026, raised third party capital of $43.0 million in Medici and returned third party capital of $905.4 million, which was driven by $744.8 million of distributions in DaVinci and Vermeer, with the remainder from redemptions from third-party investors rebalancing their portfolios in DaVinci, Fontana and Medici. Following these transactions, the Company’s economic ownership in Medici, DaVinci and Fontana was 11.5%, 26.3% and 38.4%, respectively.
- Operational and corporate expenses decreased in 2025, driven by the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in 2025 and lower expenses associated with the Validus Acquisition, partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses.
- Share repurchases of 6.4 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $1.6 billion and an average price of $247.62 per common share in 2025. Repurchased an additional 413.9 thousand common shares at an aggregate cost of $113.4 million from January 1, 2026 through January 30, 2026.
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, (2) redeemable noncontrolling interest and (3) income tax benefit (expense) beginning in the first quarter of 2025. Prior to January 1, 2025, net negative impact on net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders did not include any related income tax benefit (expense) as it was not meaningful prior to the implementation of the corporate income tax in Bermuda effective January 1, 2025.
The Company’s estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of the Company’s potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and actuarial modeling techniques. The Company’s 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 these catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent nature of the events, 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.

Comments on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this Press Release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has provided certain of these financial measures in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that such measures are important to investors and other interested persons, and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within or outside the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies within or outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.
Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders, Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common Shareholders per Common Share - Diluted and Operating Return on Average Common Equity - Annualized
The Company uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as a measure to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance. “Operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of (1) net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, excluding other investments - catastrophe bonds, (2) net foreign exchange gains and losses, (3) expenses or revenues associated with acquisitions, dispositions and impairments, (4) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, (5) the Bermuda net deferred tax benefit recorded prior to the January 1, 2025 effective date of the Bermuda corporate income tax and the Bermuda deferred tax benefit resulting from Bermuda law changes enacted in 2025, (6) the income tax expense or benefit associated with these adjustments, and (7) the portion of these adjustments attributable to the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company also uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” to calculate “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized.”
The Company’s management believes that “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on average common equity - annualized” are useful to management and investors because they provide for better comparability and more accurately measure the Company’s results of operations and remove variability. Additionally, management believes that these measures provide a view of the Company’s underlying business that allows for better comparisons of the Company’s performance over time by focusing on the Company’s core business operations.
The following table is a reconciliation of: (1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders”; (2) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted”; and (3) return on average common equity - annualized to “operating return on average common equity - annualized.”

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share and Tangible Book Value Per Common Share Plus Accumulated Dividends
The Company has included in this Press Release “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) other goodwill and intangible assets, and (3) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) other goodwill and intangible assets, and (3) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, plus accumulated dividends.
The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns by excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets and acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments to provide for better comparability and a more accurate measure of the Company’s underlying operations. The following table is a reconciliation of book value per common share to “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.”

Adjusted Combined Ratio
The Company has included in this Press Release “adjusted combined ratio” for the Company, its reportable segments and certain classes of business. “Adjusted combined ratio” is defined as the combined ratio adjusted for the impact of acquisition related purchase accounting, which includes the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments related to the amortization (accretion) of VOBA and acquisition costs, and the fair value adjustments to the net reserve for claims and claim expenses for the acquisitions of Validus, TMR and Platinum. The combined ratio is calculated as the sum of (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred, (2) acquisition expenses, and (3) operational expenses; divided by net premiums earned. The acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments impact net claims and claim expenses incurred and acquisition expenses. The Company’s management believes “adjusted combined ratio” is useful to management and investors because it provides for better comparability and more accurately measures the Company’s underlying underwriting performance.
