Total revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $2.0 billion, unchanged relative to the first quarter of 2021. Net income in the current quarter was $98 million, or 88 cents per diluted share, compared with net income of $234 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021. Net investment losses in the current quarter were $43 million, or 29 cents per diluted share, compared with net investment gains of $67 million, or 46 cents per diluted share, in the first quarter of last year. The net investment losses in the current quarter were primarily due to $71 million in unrealized losses recognized on venture investments that were significantly offset by a $51 million realized gain related to the sale of an investment in a title company, compared with net investment gains in the first quarter of last year that were primarily driven by unrealized gains recognized on venture investments.

“Our title segment delivered a pretax margin of 11.0 percent in the first quarter, a good result in our seasonally slowest period,” said Ken DeGiorgio, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. “Total revenue was unchanged, as continued strength in the commercial and purchase markets offset the sharp decline in refinance activity resulting from the rapid increase in mortgage interest rates during the quarter.

“The market is currently transitioning from record low interest rates to a more normalized environment. Accordingly, we are sharpening our focus on expense management. We will, however, continue to invest in strategic initiatives that drive our company’s operational efficiency and future growth, including through ongoing funding of our title automation and digital closing initiatives, and the expansion and enhancement of the data assets that fuel them.

“We also believe the market reaction to higher interest rates has resulted in our stock being undervalued in recent months and, in response, we aggressively deployed capital by repurchasing 3.25 million shares for a total of $210 million year to date, at an average price of $64.64 per share.

“I'm also proud to once again share that First American has been named to the 100 Best Companies to Work For list by Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine for the seventh consecutive year. I credit this outstanding accomplishment to our employees and all they do for their colleagues, customers and communities.”

Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment during the first quarter were $2.0 billion, up 8 percent compared with the same quarter of 2021. Direct premiums and escrow fees were up 1 percent compared with the first quarter of 2021, driven by a 40 percent increase in the average revenue per direct title order closed that was largely offset by a 29 percent decline in the number of direct title orders closed. The average revenue per direct title order increased to $2,969, primarily attributable to an increase in the average deal size in our commercial business and the impact of strong home price appreciation on residential purchase transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, were up 12 percent in the current quarter as compared with last year.

Information and other revenues were $302 million during the quarter, up 9 percent compared with the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily driven by the recent acquisition of ServiceMac.

Investment income was $53 million in the first quarter, up $10 million from the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily related to an increase in interest income from the company’s investment portfolio due to higher average invested balances. Net investment gains totaled $29 million in the current quarter, compared with net investment gains of $22 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net investment gains in the current quarter were primarily due to a $51 million realized gain related to the sale of an investment in a title company, partially offset by losses due to the change in the fair value of marketable equity securities, compared with net investment gains primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of marketable equity securities last year.

Personnel costs were $583 million in the first quarter, an increase of $79 million, or 16 percent, compared with the same quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the impact of recent acquisitions and higher salary and incentive compensation expense. Salary expense was driven by increased headcount and higher average salaries, while the increase in incentive compensation reflects strong financial performance in our commercial business as well as higher share-based compensation related to last year’s record results.

Other operating expenses were $305 million in the first quarter, up $40 million, or 15 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the impact of recent acquisitions and higher professional services and software expense.

The provision for policy losses and other claims was $64 million in the first quarter, or 4.0 percent of title premiums and escrow fees, in line with the 4.0 percent loss provision rate in the prior year. The current quarter rate reflects an ultimate loss rate of 4.0 percent for the current policy year with no change in the loss reserve estimates for prior policy years.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $40 million in the first quarter, up $4 million, or 11 percent, compared with the same period last year, due to higher amortization of software and other intangibles related to recent acquisitions.

Pretax income for the Title Insurance and Services segment was $220 million in the first quarter, compared with $280 million in the first quarter of 2021. Pretax margin was 11.0 percent in the current quarter, compared with 15.2 percent last year. Excluding the impact of net investment gains, the pretax margin was 9.7 percent this year, compared with 14.2 percent last year.

Total revenues for the Specialty Insurance segment were $115 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decline of 15 percent compared with the first quarter of 2021. Pretax income for the segment was $12 million, compared with $6 million last year.

Home warranty operating revenues were up 5 percent this quarter to $104 million. The loss rate was 46.5 percent, compared with 53.6 percent last year, driven by lower claim frequency. This quarter, claim frequency, which included the impact of favorable weather, was comparable to pre-pandemic levels. Home warranty’s pretax income was $16 million, compared with $13 million last year.

The wind-down of the property and casualty business remains on track for completion in the third quarter of 2022. At the close of the first quarter, policies-in-force had declined by 88 percent since the wind-down began at the beginning of 2021. The property and casualty business ended the quarter with a pretax loss of $4 million.
