    Issue de la filialisation fin 2016 des activités de réassurance de marché de CCR,
    CCR Re enregistre depuis des bonnes performances. Le développement soutenu
    du portefeuille, l’amélioration continue de la rentabilité et le renforcement sensible
    de la solidité financière consacrent la pertinence de la politique de souscription
    et d’investissement suivie au service de notre projet d’entreprise. Notre ambition
    est d’inscrire durablement l’entreprise dans le paysage de la réassurance
    internationale comme une alternative aux leaders du marché, d’offrir à nos clients
    un service de première qualité dans le cadre d’une relation de long terme et
    à hauteur d’homme, et pour cela d’être un acteur à la pointe dans l’analyse
    des risques et la digitalisation des process.

    Aujourd’hui, CCR Re est une entreprise en pleine transformation. Tous les
    processus sont repensés avec l'introduction de l'intelligence artificielle dans
    l'analyse de souscription, permettant à nos experts de se concentrer sur les tâches
    à valeur ajoutée et la gestion de la relation client. Les équipes, largement remaniées
    et étoffées, sont rajeunies, féminisées et multiculturelles. La souscription est
    étendue à de nouveaux marchés, notamment en Amérique latine, en Afrique
    subsaharienne et dans la région de l'océan Indien. Parallèlement, de nouveaux
    services à haute valeur ajoutée complètent nos offres de couverture. Enfin, des
    outils de gestion de risque innovants sont mis en place avec notamment avec le
    premier sidecar de droit français.

AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Caisse Centrale de Réassurance
and CCR RE
July 23, 2020 12:03 PM Eastern Daylight Time

AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A+ (Superior)
and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) of “aa” of Caisse Centrale de Réassurance (CCR)
(France). Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICR of “a” of CCR RE
(France). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings of CCR reflect its balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorises as very strong, as well as its
adequate operating performance, favourable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management
(ERM). The ratings also consider, in the form of rating enhancement, the explicit unlimited guarantee
provided by the Republic of France to CCR’s state-backed business.

CCR’s balance sheet strength assessment reflects the company’s strongest risk-adjusted capitalisation, as
measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). CCR’s capital position is reinforced by significant
equalisation and special reserves, which provide capacity to absorb its peak exposures to natural
catastrophe, terrorism and other exceptional risks. The balance sheet strength assessment also reflects CCR’s
high quality, liquid investment portfolio and conservative reserving practices.

AM Best considers CCR’s long-term operating performance track record to be adequate. Results are subject
to volatility given the nature of business written; however, the company has established significant
equalisation reserves, which can be released in loss-heavy years, as was the case in 2016 through 2018.
While loss ratios remained higher than historical norms, technical results improved in 2019, leading to a
non-life loss ratio of 85% (as calculated by AM Best before movement in equalisation reserve) compared with
91% for 2018.

CCR’s favourable business profile is underpinned by the role the company plays in the French public
reinsurance regime and its unique position as the principal reinsurer of natural catastrophe risks
underwritten in France, with an estimated market share of approximately 90%. CCR’s market offering of a
50% quota share, supplemented by an optional, unlimited stop loss treaty, is considered a competitive
advantage.
The ratings of CCR RE reflect its balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorises as very strong, as well as
its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate ERM. The ratings also consider,
in the form of rating enhancement, the strategic importance of CCR RE to CCR.

CCR RE’s balance sheet strength assessment reflects its strongest risk-adjusted capitalisation, as measured by
BCAR. The assessment also factors in the company’s low dependence on reinsurance, conservative reserving
practices, and its liquid and high quality investment portfolio. CCR RE’s standalone financial flexibility
improved following the issuance of EUR 300 million of subordinated debt in July 2020. Financial flexibility
remains constrained; however, by the clear segregation of activities and capital within the group.

CCR RE has been profitable since its creation as a stand-alone company in 2016, driven by the strong
performance of the company’s life reinsurance portfolio and by investment results supported by realised
gains. Non-life technical performance has improved steadily since 2016, as the company rationalised its
underwriting portfolio. AM Best expects this improvement to be maintained despite the return to top-line
growth in 2018 and 2019.
CCR RE has an established presence in the international reinsurance market, writing a well-diversified
underwriting portfolio and benefiting from the long-established CCR brand.
