Third Point Re Reports Third Quarter 2014 Earnings Results

Net Loss of $6.0 million, or $(0.06) Per Diluted Common Share
Combined ratio for the Property and Casualty segment improved to 101.7%
HAMILTON, Bermuda, November 6, 2014, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (Third Point Re or the Company) (NYSE: TPRE) today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third Point Re reported a net loss of $6.0 million, or $(0.06) per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2014, compared with net income of $46.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of 112.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Third Point Re reported net income of $65.1 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, compared with $147.2 million, or $1.75 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of 55.8%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, diluted book value per share decreased by $0.04 per share, or (0.3)%, to $13.68 per share from $13.72 per share as of June 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, diluted book value per share increased by $0.56 per share, or 4.3%, to $13.68 per share from $13.12 per share as of December 31, 2013.
"While the overall result for the quarter is disappointing, I am pleased with the high volume of opportunities we are seeing and the continued improvement in our combined ratio, commented John Berger, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Underwriting Officer. "Our combined ratio dropped to 101.7% in the quarter from 107.9% in the prior year's third quarter as our earned premium grew and our general and administrative expense ratio continued to decline. The return on our investment portfolio managed by Third Point LLC was flat for the quarter, consistent with the performance of the broader markets.

Net underwriting loss and combined ratio are Non-GAAP financial measures. See the accompanying Segment Reporting for an explanation and
calculation of net underwriting loss and combined ratio.
(3)
Prior to 2014, changes in estimated fair value of embedded derivatives were recorded in net investment income. As these embedded derivatives
have become more prominent, the presentation has been modified and changes in the estimated fair value of embedded derivatives are now recorded
in other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result, investment expenses of $1.2 million and $2.7 million, that were
previously reported in net investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, are now being reported in other
expenses to conform to the current year's presentation.
(4)
Net investment income on float, diluted book value per share and return on beginning shareholders' equity are non-GAAP financial measures. See
the accompanying Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures for an explanation and calculation of net investment income on float, diluted book value
per share and return on beginning shareholders' equity.

Segment Highlights
Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written increased by $81.2 million, or 185.8%, to $124.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $43.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Gross premiums written increased by $116.3 million, or 50.3%, to $347.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $231.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to new business written and a contract that was canceled and rewritten during the third quarter partially offset by business not renewed. Since Third Point Re is a developing company and focuses on large transactions, which in some cases will not renew, period over period comparisons may not be meaningful.
Net premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $39.7 million, or 64.3%, to $101.5 million and increased $95.4 million, or 61.2%, to $251.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects net premiums earned on a larger in-force underwriting portfolio compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The net underwriting loss from the Property and Casualty Reinsurance segment was $1.8 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. These results compare to a net underwriting loss of $4.9 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Catastrophe Risk Management
The Catastrophe Risk Management segment includes the combined results of Third Point Reinsurance Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the Catastrophe Fund), Third Point Reinsurance Investment Management Ltd., and Third Point Re Cat Ltd. (the Catastrophe Reinsurer). After attributing income to non-controlling interests, net income from the Catastrophe Risk Management segment was $3.6 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to net income of $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Net assets under management for the Catastrophe Fund were $117.9 million as of September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $104.0 million).
Investments
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, Third Point Re recorded net investment income of $1.6 million, compared to $54.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The return on investments managed by the Companys investment manager, Third Point LLC, was (0.04)% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 4.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Third Point Re recorded net investment income of $92.1 million, compared to $168.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The return on investments managed by the Companys investment manager, Third Point LLC, was 5.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 16.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The net investment results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 reflect modest gains in our equities and asset-backed securities offset by losses in corporate credit primarily from a single investment. Performance in the investment portfolio for the nine month period was driven primarily by positive returns in equities as well as both the corporate and structured credit portfolios.� Net investment income for nine months ended September 30, 2014 also benefited from higher average investments managed by Third Point LLC compared to the prior year periods due to the net proceeds generated by Third Point Res IPO and float contributed by its reinsurance operations and net investment income. We mark to market our entire investment portfolio managed by Third Point LLC and, therefore, our investment results can vary significantly from period to period.

Book Value per Share
Book value per share as used by our management is a non-GAAP measure, as it is calculated after deducting the impact of non-controlling interests. In addition, diluted book value per share is a non-GAAP measure and represents 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. 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.
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. Although float can be calculated using numbers determined under U.S. GAAP, float is a non-GAAP financial measure and, therefore, there is no comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
Net Investment Return on Investments Managed by Third Point LLC
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 (loss) by the beginning shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders and is a commonly used calculation to measure profitability. For the three and nine months ended September�30, 2013, we have also adjusted the beginning shareholders' equity for the impact of the issuance of shares in our IPO on a weighted average basis. These adjustments lower the stated returns on beginning shareholders' equity.
