IRB(Re) has opened 2026 with a stronger underwriting performance and improved profitability metrics, despite a decline in net income.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Brazilian reinsurer posted an underwriting result of R$180 million in Q1 2026, a 74% increase over the same period last year, reflecting disciplined underwriting and improved portfolio performance.<\/p>\n

This helped drive a more favourable combined ratio of 98%, down from 102% in Q1 2025, supported by a notable 8.5 percentage point reduction in the loss ratio to 58%.<\/p>\n

While underwriting momentum was positive, IRB(Re)\u2019s net income came in at R$102 million, down 15% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

The decline was largely attributed to weaker financial and equity income, which fell 19% to R$170 million over the period.<\/p>\n

\"Catastrophe<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, the firm\u2019s operating income showed a marked turnaround, reaching R$7 million in Q1 2026 compared to a loss of R$31 million in the prior-year quarter.<\/p>\n

IRB(Re)\u2019s written premiums were also up in the opening quarter of the year, expanding to R$1.288 billion, thanks to growth in both Brazil and abroad.<\/p>\n
