Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written
Gross premiums written increased by $32.9 million, or 66.1%, to $82.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $49.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in gross premiums written was primarily due to new contracts bound in the current year period, including $15.8 million of property catastrophe business.
Gross premiums written decreased by $25.9 million, or 6.0%, to $402.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $428.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in gross premiums written was primarily due to the net impact of contract extensions, cancellations and contracts renewed with no comparable premium in the comparable period, as well as, contracts that we did not renew in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by new contracts in the current year period, including $57.4 million of property catastrophe business.
Net premiums earned
The increase in net premiums earned in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to a higher in-force underwriting portfolio.
Net underwriting results
The improvement in the net underwriting results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to prior year periods was primarily due to a shift in the mix of business, including earnings on new property catastrophe and specialty business.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net $0.1 million and $0.5 million improvement in the net underwriting results, respectively, related to favorable development of prior years' loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net $2.4 million and $2.8 million improvement in the net underwriting results, respectively, related to favorable development of prior years' loss reserves net of the related impact of acquisition costs.
Investments
During 2019, we began reducing our investment risk by reallocating some of our investments in Third Point Enhanced Fund ("TP Fund") to fixed income investments. This initial realignment of our investment strategy was being driven by several factors, including the following:
- An increasing underwriting risk profile, including writing property catastrophe business, that requires additional risk capital to support these underwriting activities which, taken together with other actions, should improve our underwriting results over time;
- The need for greater liquidity to pay potential claims also as a result of the changing underwriting risk profile, which now exposes us to natural catastrophe and other loss events where there could be a need to pay claims to our clients on short notice; and
- To meet our targeted levels of risk-adjusted capitalization in accordance with our enterprise-wide risk appetite.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the portfolio saw strong results across each investment strategy with long equity investments driving the majority of gains for the quarter. Within equities, every sector, except energy, contributed to positive results on the long side and short equity investments and hedges reduced net investment income. Each sub-strategy within the credit portfolio added to positive performance with strength in asset-backed securities contributing the most to our results for the period. The macroeconomic and other portfolio was also positive as gains in arbitrage offset modest losses in currency hedges and the ventures portfolio.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, gains from the equity portfolio contributed to the majority of returns for the year. The return on average exposure for the equity portfolio outpaced broader equity market index performance. Strong performance across long equity investments, primarily in the activist positions, were partially offset by losses from short equity investments and hedges. The credit strategy was also a meaningful contributor to returns with positive results in corporate credit, sovereign debt, and asset-backed securities. The macroeconomic and other portfolio also added to returns across each sub-strategy for the period.

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 represents basic book value per share combined with the impact from dilution of all in-the-money share options issued, warrants and unvested restricted shares outstanding as of any period end. 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 change in basic book value per share divided by the beginning of period book value per share. Change in diluted book value per share is calculated by taking the change in diluted book value per share 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.

Key Performance Indicator
Net Investment Return on Investments Managed by Third Point LLC
Net investment return represents the return on our net investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on net investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our net investment assets managed by Third Point LLC. Effective August 31, 2018, we transitioned from our separately managed account structure to investing in TP Fund. In addition, collateral assets and certain other investment assets are managed by Third Point LLC. The net investment return reflects the combined results of investments managed on behalf of Third Point Re BDA and Third Point Re USA prior to the transition date of August 31, 2018 and the investments in TP Fund, collateral assets and certain other investment assets subsequent to the date of transition. Prior to the transition date of August 31, 2018, the stated return was net of noncontrolling interests and net of withholding taxes, which were presented as a component of income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, TP Fund's investment manager.
