Bermudian reinsurer Everest Re has estimated its second-quarter catastrophe losses to amount to $80 million after reinstatement premiums and taxes.
Published on July 7, 2011
The reinsurer based its estimates on an effective tax rate of 20%.
“Despite these losses, we expect to have an underwriting profit in the quarter and a solid increase in our already strong capital position,” Everest Re Chairman and CEO Joseph V. Taranto said in a statement.
Everest also said it expects losses related to the most recent New Zealand earthquake will be less than $10 million, and therefore would not be reported as part of its catastrophe loss provision.
