PartnerRe Preannounces Initial Estimated Q3 Material Catastrophe Losses at EXOR Investor Day

PEMBROKE, Bermuda, October 5, 2017 – PartnerRe Ltd. (the ‘Company’) will announce today, at the 2017 EXOR Investor Day, that the Company estimates combined Catastrophe losses of approximately $475 million (pre-tax, net of retrocession and reinstatement premiums) from its exposure to hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria for Q3 2017.

Additional details on the Company’s 2017 financial outlook are available in the EXOR Analyst and Investor Presentation. The Company is scheduled to report its Q3 2017 results on or around November 16, 2017.

The Company’s estimate of losses for these events is based on a preliminary analysis of the Company’s exposures, the current assumption of total insured industry losses and preliminary information received from certain cedants to date.  There is material uncertainty associated with the Company’s loss estimates given the nature, magnitude and recency of these loss events and the limited claims information received to date. The ultimate loss therefore may differ materially from the current preliminary estimate.
