Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was
“The cyclical downturn in the real estate market precipitated by rapidly rising mortgage rates led to a decline in the company’s residential business,” said
“While we expect the challenging market environment to continue into 2023, we believe the company is well positioned to emerge from this cycle even stronger. The market has shifted away from refinance toward purchase and commercial transactions where we are stronger and, consequently, we are growing our market share. We are also the only title company that has a bank, which enables us to better capitalize on higher interest rates. Our strong balance sheet allows us to continue to invest in strategic initiatives, pursue acquisitions, as well as return capital to shareholders. Since the beginning of this year, we have repurchased approximately 7 percent of our shares outstanding as of the end of last year.
“I want to thank our employees for all their hard work and accomplishments as we navigate our way through a difficult market. Relationships are key to our business, and it’s our talented and dedicated people who provide the connection to our customers that ultimately drives our company’s success.”
