Total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $1.5 billion, an increase of 1 percent relative to the second quarter of 2018. Net income in the current quarter was $186.7 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, compared with net income of $155.1 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018. Net realized investment gains in the current quarter were $8.4 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, compared with net realized investment gains of $5.5 million, or 4 cents per diluted share, last year. The current quarter's effective tax rate of 18.4 percent includes a benefit of $12.0 million, or 11 cents per diluted share, primarily due to the resolution of state tax matters from prior years. During the quarter, expenses totaling $1.7 million related to the previously disclosed information security incident were recorded in the corporate segment.

"The company delivered outstanding financial results in the second quarter, including a record 17.0 percent pretax title margin," said Dennis J. Gilmore, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. "Low interest rates continue to strengthen the purchase market, drive substantial growth in refinance activity and sustain a healthy commercial market. This quarter's performance again benefited from effective expense management and higher investment income.

"Looking to the second half of 2019, we are optimistic in light of current market trends. So far in July, refinance activity continues its robust growth and purchase open orders are trending positively. Moreover, we expect to see continued strength in our commercial business. Although the anticipated reduction of the Fed funds rate will impact our investment income, given current business conditions and the efficiency of our operations, we expect to deliver strong financial results in the second half of the year."

Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment during the second quarter were $1.4 billion, flat compared with the same quarter of 2018. Direct premiums and escrow fees were higher by 1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2018, driven by a 1 percent increase in the average revenue per direct title order and closed orders that were essentially flat compared with last year. The growth in the average revenue per direct title order to $2,620 was primarily due to higher residential real estate values, partially offset by a shift in the mix of direct revenues to lower premium refinance transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, were down 3 percent in the current quarter as compared with last year.

Information and other revenues were $197.8 million this quarter, down $8.3 million, or 4 percent, compared with the same quarter of last year. The decline was primarily due to lower revenues from the company's centralized lender businesses and international operations.

Investment income was $71.0 million in the second quarter, up $19.2 million, or 37 percent, benefiting from both an increase in average balances and rising short-term interest rates that drove higher interest income in the company's investment portfolio and cash balances. Net realized investment gains totaled $6.9 million in the current quarter, compared with gains of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Personnel costs were $422.7 million in the second quarter, down $4.4 million, or 1 percent, compared with the same quarter of 2018. This decline was primarily attributable to lower salary expense driven by lower average headcount, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense.

Other operating expenses were $194.1 million in the second quarter, down $8.3 million, or 4 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2018. The reduction was driven by a number of expense categories, including lower production-related costs and a decline in office-related purchases, partially offset by higher software expense.

The provision for policy losses and other claims was $43.8 million in the second quarter, or 4.0 percent of title premiums and escrow fees, compared with a 4.0 percent loss provision rate in the second quarter of 2018. The current quarter rate reflects an ultimate loss rate of 4.0 percent for the current policy year and no change in the loss reserve estimates for prior policy years.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $31.1 million in the second quarter, an increase of $1.7 million, or 6 percent, compared with the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher amortization expense associated with software development.

Pretax income for the Title Insurance and Services segment was $232.8 million in the second quarter, compared with $209.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. Pretax margin was 17.0 percent in the current quarter, compared with 15.3 percent last year. Excluding the impact of net realized investment gains and losses, the pretax margin was 16.5 percent this year, compared with 15.1 percent last year.

Total revenues for the Specialty Insurance segment were $123.0 million in the second quarter, an increase of 2 percent compared with the second quarter of 2018. The home warranty business benefited from lower claim losses driven by both lower claim frequency and severity, due in part to milder weather and improvements in claim cost management. The loss ratio for the segment improved to 56.4 percent this quarter, compared with 61.4 percent in the prior year. Pretax margin for the segment was 12.8 percent in the current quarter, compared with 8.4 percent in the second quarter of last year. Excluding the impact of net realized gains and losses, the segment's current quarter pretax margin was 11.8 percent, compared with 7.0 percent last year.
