HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. ("Third Point Re" or the "Company") (NYSE: TPRE) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Third Point Re reported net income of $15.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared with net income of $31.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 49.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, Third Point Re reported net income of $66.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share compared with net income of $71.1 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 6.9%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, diluted book value per share increased by $0.15 per share, or 1.1%, to $14.12 per share from $13.97 per share as of March 31, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, diluted book value per share increased by $0.57 per share, or 4.2%, to $14.12 per share from $13.55 per share as of December 31, 2014.
"During the second quarter, we continued to build out our reinsurance platform in the U.S. and generated significant growth in premiums primarily from our new U.S. focused reinsurance company. Although our combined ratio was elevated in the quarter due to $3.2 million of losses from weather activity in Texas and $2.0 million of adverse reserve development, we remain committed to our goal of underwriting profitability," commented John Berger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In the second quarter, we generated premiums written of $184.3 million, an increase of 26.7%, and we continued to develop a strong pipeline of new business. Our investment manager, Third Point LLC, continued to outperform the broader market indices this year producing a 1.7% return on our investment portfolio for the quarter and 4.8% for the year."

Segment Highlights
Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment
Gross premiums written increased by $43.8 million, or 31.2%, to $184.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $140.4 million for three months ended June 30, 2014. Gross premiums written increased by $175.0 million, or 78.6%, to $397.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $222.6 million for six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in premiums for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to new business written in 2015, which was predominantly written by our new U.S. office where we have seen additional opportunities as a result of our U.S. presence, and contracts that renewed in 2015 that did not have comparable premiums in the 2014 periods. The increase in premiums in both periods was partially offset by contracts that we made a decision not to renew due to changes in pricing and/or terms and conditions. Since Third Point Re focuses on large transactions, which in some cases may not renew, period over period comparisons of gross premiums written may not be meaningful.
Net premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $42.9 million, or 55.4%, to $120.4 million. Net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $109.7 million, or 73.2%, to $259.5 million. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 reflect net premiums earned on a larger in-force underwriting portfolio compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
The net underwriting loss from our property and casualty reinsurance segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The net underwriting loss from our property and casualty reinsurance segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $13.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The combined ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 107.8%, compared to 102.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 105.1%, compared to 104.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
The net underwriting loss and combined ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included a $3.2 million loss related to windstorms and other weather activity that took place in the state of Texas in the second quarter. In addition, we recorded an increase in the net underwriting loss of $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, related to development of prior years contracts. This compares to $0.3 million decrease in the net underwriting loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $1.6 million increase in net underwriting loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014. These increases to the combined ratio compared to the prior year periods were partially offset by a lower general and administrative expense ratio due to proportionately higher net premiums earned.
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"). In December 2014, The Company announced that it would no longer accept investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that the Company would be redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. Despite the Catastrophe Fund's solid investment returns from its inception, the Company is winding it down due to challenging market conditions and competition with other collateralized reinsurance and insurance-linked securities vehicles. Catastrophe reinsurance pricing and the fees available to manage catastrophe risk have decreased significantly in the past two years.
Net assets under management for the Catastrophe Fund were $26.5 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to $119.7 million as of December 31, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Catastrophe Fund distributed $93.2 million (Third Point Re's share - $46.3 million).
Investments
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, Third Point Re recorded net investment income of $38.6 million, compared to $40.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The return on investments managed by the Company's investment manager, Third Point LLC, was 1.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, Third Point Re recorded net investment income of $103.5 million, compared to $90.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The return on investments managed by the Company's investment manager, Third Point LLC, was 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 5.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
The net investment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were largely attributable to performance in Third Point LLC's equity and structured credit strategies. The returns generated by our investment portfolio will vary based on a number of factors, including the overall markets, individual security selection, and allocation of exposure by the manager across strategies. Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 benefited from higher average investments managed by Third Point LLC compared to the prior year period due to the float generated by the Company's reinsurance operations and the proceeds from the issuance of $115.0 million senior notes during the first quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
Book Value per Share and Diluted Book Value per Share
Book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Book value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders by the number of issued and outstanding shares at period end. Diluted book value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders, adjusted to include unvested restricted shares and the exercise of all in-the-money options and warrants. 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. Float is not a concept defined by U.S. GAAP and therefore, there are no comparable U.S. GAAP measures and as a result, is considered to be a non-GAAP measure. We believe that net investment income generated on float is an important consideration in evaluating the overall contribution of our property and casualty reinsurance operation to our consolidated results. It is also explicitly considered as part of the evaluation of management's performance for purposes of incentive compensation.
Net Investment Return on Investments Managed by Third Point LLC
Net investment return represents the return on our investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. 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. 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 by the beginning of year shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders. We believe this metric is used by investors to supplement measures of our profitability.
