    Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $1.7 billion, up 18 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. Net income in the current quarter was $72 million, or 69 cents per diluted share, compared with net income of $34 million, or 33 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Net investment losses in the current quarter were $86 million, or 61 cents per diluted share, compared with net investment losses of $42 million, or 30 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of last year. The net investment losses in the current quarter were primarily due to asset impairments and recognized losses in the company's venture portfolio. Net investment losses in the same quarter of last year were due to the sale of fixed-income securities in connection with the company's tax planning efforts, partly offset by a favorable change in the fair value of marketable equity securities.

    Adjusted net income in the current quarter was $142 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared with $72 million, or 69 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of last year. The effective tax rate in the current quarter of 27 percent was driven by a valuation reserve against deferred tax assets, partly offset by the recognition of research and development tax credits. This resulted in a reduction of 3 cents per diluted share when compared to the company's normalized tax rate of 24 percent.

    Total revenue for the full year 2024 was $6.1 billion, up 2 percent compared with the prior year. Net income in 2024 was $131 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with net income of $217 million, or $2.07 per diluted share in 2023. Adjusted net income in 2024 was $459 million, or $4.40 per diluted share, compared with $398 million, or $3.80 per diluted share in 2023.

    "The company delivered excellent results in the fourth quarter, despite generally challenging market conditions," said Ken DeGiorgio, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. "Title premiums and escrow revenues were up double-digits across all key business lines, highlighted by 47% growth in our commercial revenue. Coupled with our continued focus on expense management, we achieved an adjusted pretax title margin of 11.8% for the quarter.

    "Looking into 2025, we are planning for mortgage rates to remain elevated, however, we expect modest improvement in both the residential purchase and refinance businesses. We expect our commercial business will have a good year with continued revenue growth weighted to the first half of the year, given the 33% increase experienced in the second half of last year. This will be another year of earnings improvement in what looks to be the early stages of the next real estate cycle.

    "The widespread damage and devastation from the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area unfortunately directly impacted several of our people and our customers. Our thoughts are with them and the many others who have suffered through this terrible event. The company's roots in Southern California and the greater Los Angeles area trace back 135 years, so all of us at First American feel a responsibility to find ways to help our neighbors, friends and families cope with this tragedy. Our company, along with many of our employees, have responded to that call. I want to thank our people for all they have done to provide support and relief to those affected."

    (1) U.S. direct title insurance orders only.

    Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment during the fourth quarter were $1.6 billion, up 22 percent compared with the same quarter of 2023. Direct premiums and escrow fees were 31 percent higher compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by a 19 percent increase in the number of direct title orders closed in our domestic operations and an 11 percent increase in the average revenue per order closed. The average revenue per direct title order rose to $4,343, due to the impact of a 39 percent increase in the average revenue per order for commercial transactions, partly offset by a shift in the closed order mix to lower-premium refinance transactions from higher-premium commercial transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, grew by 23 percent in the current quarter compared with last year.

    Information and other revenues were $238 million during the quarter, up $27 million, or 13 percent, compared with last year. This increase was primarily due to revenue growth in Canada and in the commercial and data and analytics business units.

    Investment income was $155 million in the fourth quarter, up $23 million, or 18 percent compared with the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to a higher average yield on the investment portfolio as a result of the company's recent strategic investment portfolio rebalancing project. In addition, investment income from the company's warehouse lending business and operating cash accounts increased. Net investment losses totaled $62 million in the current quarter, compared with net investment losses of $32 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The net investment losses in the current quarter were primarily due to asset impairments, while net investment losses last year were primarily due to the sale of fixed-income securities in connection with the company's tax planning efforts, partly offset by a favorable change in the fair value of marketable equity securities.

    Personnel costs were $523 million in the fourth quarter, up $60 million, or 13 percent, compared with the same quarter of 2023. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to higher incentive compensation expense as a result of improved financial performance.

    Other operating expenses were $263 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $36 million, or 16 percent, compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher production expense across several business units due to higher transaction volumes and higher software expense.

    The provision for policy losses and other claims was $38 million in the fourth quarter, or 3.0 percent of title premiums and escrow fees, unchanged from the prior year. The fourth quarter rate reflects an ultimate loss rate of 3.75 percent for the current policy year and a net decrease of $10 million in the loss reserve estimate for prior policy years.

    Depreciation and amortization expense was $51 million in the fourth quarter, up $2 million, or 5 percent, compared with the same period last year, due to higher amortization of internally developed software.

    Interest expense was $27 million in the current quarter, up $5 million, or 25 percent from last year primarily due to higher interest expense in the company's warehouse lending business.

    Pretax income for the Title Insurance and Services segment was $126 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $60 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Pretax margin was 7.9 percent in the current quarter, compared with 4.5 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 11.8 percent in the current period, compared with 7.5 percent last year.

    Total revenues for the Home Warranty segment were $103 million in the fourth quarter, up $4 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2023. The segment posted pretax income of $19 million this quarter, compared with $15 million last year. The claim loss rate was 43.7 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with 43.6 percent last year, due to higher claim frequency, partly offset by lower claim severity. Home Warranty's pretax margin was 18.1 percent this quarter, compared with 14.9 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 18.2 percent this quarter, compared with 19.9 percent last year.

    The current quarter results include a change in the estimate of earned premium revenues which negatively impacted both revenue and pretax income by approximately $6 million.

    Corporate

    The Corporate segment recorded a net pretax loss of $45 million this quarter compared with a loss of $36 million in the prior year. Excluding net investment losses, adjusted pretax loss was $22 million in the current quarter compared with $32 million last year. The $10 million improvement in net pretax loss primarily reflects the higher legal and personnel costs related to the cybersecurity event in the prior year period, partly offset by higher interest expense due to the company's new debt issuance in the third quarter of this year.
