Total revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.6 billion, down 20 percent compared with the second quarter of 2022. Net income in the current quarter was $139 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $109 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income in the current quarter was $141 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared with $221 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year.

“We posted good results in the second quarter given the continuing market headwinds,” said Ken DeGiorgio, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. “A seasonal uplift in our business, strong growth in net investment income and a continued focus on expense management enabled us to deliver a pretax title margin of 12.1 percent, or 12.6 percent on an adjusted basis.

“Our residential purchase business continues to be pressured by affordability issues, primarily due to high mortgage rates, along with low inventory that has kept home prices elevated. The purchase market, however, appears to have stabilized, albeit at trough levels. There is still a high degree of uncertainty concerning the commercial market outlook, however, we remain optimistic that transaction activity and revenue will improve in the second half of the year, which is consistent with normal seasonal patterns. Despite these challenging conditions, our financial discipline and strong balance sheet allow us to continue to invest in strategic initiatives for the long-term benefit of the company, as well as return capital to shareholders.

“I am proud that First American has been selected, as one of just a hundred companies, to Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators for 2023. This accomplishment is a testament to our ongoing commitment to innovation and is a tribute to our people who, in addition to delivering best-in-class customer service, enable us to lead the digital transformation of our industry.”

Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment during the second quarter were $1.5 billion, down 25 percent compared with the same quarter of 2022. Direct premiums and escrow fees declined 35 percent compared with the second quarter of 2022, driven by a 37 percent decline in the number of direct title orders closed that was partly offset by a 3 percent increase in the average revenue per order closed. The average revenue per direct title order increased to $3,640, primarily attributable to a shift in the mix to higher premium commercial transactions from lower premium refinance transactions. The shift in the mix to commercial transactions was partly offset by a 12 percent decline in the average revenue per order for commercial transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, declined 33 percent in the current quarter as compared with last year.

Information and other revenues were $244 million during the quarter, down $63 million, or 20 percent, compared with last year. This decline was the result of lower transaction levels across several business units, including the company’s data and property information products, and post-close and document generation services.

Investment income was $142 million in the second quarter, up $73 million, or 105 percent, compared with the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to rising interest rates, which drove higher interest income from the company’s cash and investment portfolio, escrow balances and tax-deferred property exchange balances. The impact of higher interest rates was partly offset by lower average balances, primarily in the company’s escrow and tax-deferred exchange balances. Net investment gains totaled $3 million in the current quarter, compared with net investment losses of $53 million in the second quarter of 2022. Net investment gains and losses in both periods were primarily due to the change in the fair value of marketable equity securities.

Personnel costs were $485 million in the second quarter, down $128 million, or 21 percent, compared with the same quarter of 2022. The decline in personnel costs was primarily due to lower incentive compensation as a result of the decline in revenue and profitability, and salary and employee benefit expense, driven by lower headcount. Overtime, temporary labor and severance expense also declined in the current quarter.

Other operating expenses were $243 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $72 million, or 23 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower production expense across several business units due to lower transaction volumes, and reduced discretionary expense.

The provision for policy losses and other claims was $40 million in the second quarter, or 3.5 percent of title premiums and escrow fees, down from the 4.0 percent loss provision rate in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $45 million in the second quarter, up $5 million, or 11 percent, compared with the same period last year, due to higher amortization of software.

Pretax income for the Title Insurance and Services segment was $186 million in the second quarter, compared with $241 million in the second quarter of 2022. Pretax margin was 12.1 percent in the current quarter, compared with 11.7 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 12.6 percent in the current period, compared with 14.4 percent last year.

Total revenues for the Home Warranty segment were $106 million in the second quarter, up 4 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2022. The segment posted pretax income of $14 million this quarter, compared with $9 million last year. The claim loss rate was 49.2 percent in the second quarter, compared with 52.5 percent last year, primarily due to lower claim frequency, partly offset by higher claim severity. Home Warranty’s pretax margin was 13.4 percent this quarter, compared with 8.7 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 12.9 percent this quarter, compared with 11.8 percent last year.

Corporate

Net investment income was $7 million this quarter, compared with a loss of $18 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to changes in the value of investments associated with the company’s deferred compensation program. These amounts were largely offset by personnel expense reflecting returns on the plan participants’ investments.

Net investment gains were $3 million this quarter, compared with losses of $77 million last year, due to changes in the fair value of the company’s venture portfolio.

Overall, the Corporate segment posted a pretax loss of $22 million in the second quarter.
