Third Point Re Announces First Quarter 2020 Earnings Results
Net loss of $183.6 million, or $1.99 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2020
Combined ratio of 97.0% for the first quarter of 2020
HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. ("Third Point Re" or the "Company") (NYSE:TPRE) today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Earnings Summary
Third Point Re reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $183.6 million, or $1.99 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $132.9 million, or $1.43 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
"Our thoughts and sympathies are with those affected by the health, social, and economic impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the overall loss in the quarter, our capital and liquidity positions remain strong and I would like to commend the efforts of our team, working remotely, who helped produce a combined ratio of 97.0% for the quarter. This improved underwriting result is a significant milestone in the ongoing transformation of the company to a specialty reinsurer," commented Dan Malloy, Chief Executive Officer. "Our diluted book value per share at the end of the quarter was $13.05, representing a 13.2% decrease from year end. The decrease was primarily due to a first quarter investment return of negative 7.3% reflecting the market volatility caused by COVID-19. The investment portfolio has already partially recovered some of this loss with a positive 3.5% investment return for April. With our strong capital position, we believe we are well positioned to continue our prudent underwriting and investment strategies."

Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written
Gross premiums written decreased by $115.5 million, or 36.1%, to $204.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $319.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in gross premiums written was primarily due to certain contracts that we did not renew, including one multi-line contract for $103.2 million which no longer fit our underwriting criteria as part of our shift in underwriting strategy to improve underwriting margins. This decrease was partially offset by new contracts bound in the current year period, including new property catastrophe and specialty contracts in line with our changing underwriting strategy.
Net underwriting results
The improvement in the net underwriting results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to this shift in business mix but, was negatively impacted in the quarter from the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 outbreak is causing unprecedented social disruption, global economic volatility, reduced liquidity of capital markets and intervention by various governments around the world. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized net losses of $9.5 million, net of additional premiums, or 6.5 percentage points on the combined ratio, relating to COVID-19. These losses were driven primarily by contingency exposures (event cancellation) as well as certain casualty and multi-line quota share contracts.
There are significant uncertainties surrounding the ultimate amount of claims and scope of damage resulting from this pandemic. Our estimate is based on currently available information derived from information provided by cedents. These estimates include losses only related to our estimate of claims incurred as of March 31, 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded improvement in the net underwriting results of $2.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to favorable development of prior years' loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs.

Non-U.S. dollar reinsurance assets, or balances held in trust accounts securing reinsurance liabilities generally offset reinsurance liabilities in the same non-U.S. dollar currencies resulting in minimal net exposure. As a result, the foreign exchange gains (losses) from the revaluation of foreign currency reinsurance collateral held in trust accounts are offset by corresponding foreign exchange gains (losses) from the revaluation of foreign currency loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. |

The first quarter of 2020 presented one of the most challenging investing environments since the financial crisis. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, our investment portfolio was susceptible to the sharp market decline due to its concentrated portfolio with elevated equity exposures. Shortly after the sell-off began, Third Point LLC repositioned its portfolio by reducing net equity exposures, primarily by adding hedges. We reassessed our equity portfolio for a COVID-19 scenario and most long equity positions were maintained. In addition, Third Point LLC initiated several new equity positions in companies that they believe will benefit from changes in behavior due to widespread government stay-at-home orders. Third Point LLC also meaningfully shifted investments to structured and corporate credit securities, including the purchase of credit positions outside of TP Fund, as they believed greater opportunity existed within these asset classes relative to equities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, losses from the long equity portfolio drove negative returns for the quarter. The fundamental and event strategies within the long equity portfolio suffered from COVID-19 driven detraction, while, the activist portfolio and its position-specific hedges defended well amidst the volatility. The private portfolio also detracted from overall fund returns for the quarter. Within credit, gains from structured credit were partially offset by unrealized losses in corporate credit. The new opportunistic credit purchases made outside of TP Fund also benefited the overall credit returns.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS & KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Non-GAAP Measures
Basic Book Value per Share and Diluted Book Value per Share
Basic book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures and there are no comparable GAAP measures. Basic book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing shareholders' equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding, excluding the total number of unvested restricted shares, at period end. Diluted book value per share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, we assume that proceeds received from in-the-money options and/or warrants exercised are used to repurchase common shares in the market. For unvested restricted shares with a performance condition, we include the unvested restricted shares for which we consider vesting to be probable. Change in basic book value per share is calculated by taking the difference in basic book value per share for the periods presented divided by the beginning of period book value per share. Change in diluted book value per share is calculated by taking the difference in diluted book value per share for the periods presented divided by the beginning of period diluted book value per share. We believe that long-term growth in diluted book value per share is the most important measure of our financial performance because it allows our 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.

Return on Beginning Shareholders' Equity Attributable to Third Point Re Common Shareholders
Return on beginning shareholders' equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on beginning shareholders' equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to Third Point Re common shareholders by the beginning shareholders' equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders. We believe that return on beginning shareholders' equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders is an important measure because it assists our management and investors in evaluating the Company's profitability. When we repurchase our common shares, we also adjust the beginning shareholders' equity attributable to Third Point Re common shareholders for the impact of the shares repurchased on a weighted average basis. For a period where there was a loss, this adjustment decreased the stated returns on beginning shareholders' equity and for a period where there was a gain, this adjustment increased the stated returns on beginning shareholders' equity.
