PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported net income of $141.5 million, or $2.32 per share on a fully diluted basis for the first quarter of 2009. Net income includes net after-tax realized and unrealized losses on investments of $74.5 million, or $1.30 per share, as well as a net after-tax gain of $57.0 million, or $0.99 per share, from the purchase of approximately 75% of the Company's outstanding Capital Efficient Notes (CENts). Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $129.0 million, or $2.16 per share on a fully diluted basis, including net after-tax realized and unrealized gains on investments of $8.9 million, or $0.16 per share. Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2009 were $155.7 million, or $2.72 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to operating earnings of $110.2 million, or $1.98 per share, for the first quarter of 2008. Operating earnings exclude net after-tax realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, net after-tax realized gain on the purchase of the CENts, and net after-tax interest in results of equity investments, and is calculated after payment of preferred dividends. All references to per share amounts in the text of this press release are on a fully diluted basis.
Commenting on the first quarter 2009 results, PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer Patrick Thiele said, "PartnerRe posted solid results for the first quarter 2009, with a 16.9% operating return on beginning equity and 2.5% growth in GAAP book value per share. The quarter was relatively uneventful in terms of large losses, resulting in a Non-Life combined ratio of 87.0%. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar impacted written and earned premium and net investment income growth, which would all have been positive if not for the impact of currency changes. In addition, in a difficult capital markets environment, our invested assets posted a positive return of 0.5% in the quarter, in local currencies."

Commentary and Outlook
Mr. Thiele said, "We are seeing competing trends impacting profitability in the non-life reinsurance market. Pricing and profitability are improving in catastrophe-exposed property lines in the U.S. and Japan, but elsewhere, especially in casualty lines, the impact of stagnant pricing and interest rates near historic lows means there is continued pressure on returns on capital. In this environment, PartnerRe, with its diversified book and geographic spread, is well-positioned to take advantage of the best opportunities wherever they may be. We are large enough and secure enough to be meaningful to our clients, have the required scale to efficiently deliver our products and services across the globe, yet still nimble and responsive to attractive opportunities."
_________________________________________
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 its operations without the impact of net realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments, net of tax, net realized gain on the purchase of CENts, net of tax, nor the interest in earnings/losses of equity investments, net of tax, 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' equity, long-term debt, senior notes and capital efficient notes, to manage the capital structure of the Company.
