Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $2 billion, up 22 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income in the current quarter was $212 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, compared with net income of $72 million, or 69 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net investment gains in the current quarter were $15 million, or 11 cents per diluted share, compared with net investment losses of $86 million, or 61 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of last year. The net investment gains in the current quarter were primarily due to recognized gains in the company's venture portfolio. Net investment losses in the same quarter of last year were due to asset impairments and recognized losses in the company's venture portfolio.

Adjusted net income in the current quarter was $206 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared with $142 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of last year. The effective tax rate in the current quarter of 25.7 percent was higher than the company's normalized tax rate of 24 percent, primarily due to higher income from the company's non-insurance businesses which are taxed at a higher rate relative to its insurance businesses which pay state premium tax in lieu of income tax. This resulted in a reduction in earnings of 4 cents per diluted share.

Total revenue for the full year 2025 was $7.5 billion, up 22 percent compared with the prior year. Net income in 2025 was $622 million, or $6.00 per diluted share, compared with net income of $131 million, or $1.26 per diluted share in 2024. Adjusted net income in 2025 was $627 million, or $6.05 per diluted share, compared with $459 million, or $4.40 per diluted share in 2024. The effective tax rate for the full year 2025 was 24.3 percent.

"We delivered a strong quarter, with adjusted revenue up 15 percent and adjusted earnings per share up 47 percent, reflecting solid execution across the company,” said Mark Seaton, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. "Our commercial performance was particularly strong, with revenue up 35 percent, driven by continued momentum across most asset classes. These results reflect both market tailwinds and our continued focus on operating leverage."

"Looking ahead to 2026, we expect an improving real estate market to support a record year in our commercial business, moderate growth in purchase, and a meaningful pickup in refinance activity. At the same time, execution of our strategic technology initiatives - particularly those leveraging AI - are progressing as planned. We remain optimistic that the combination of our proprietary data and technology capabilities are building durable competitive differentiation that will drive long-term value creation."

Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment during the fourth quarter were $1.9 billion, up 21 percent compared with the same quarter of 2024. Direct premiums and escrow fees were 19 percent higher compared with the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by a 14 percent increase in the number of direct title orders closed in our domestic operations and a 4 percent increase in the average revenue per order closed. The average revenue per direct title order rose to $4,350, primarily due to a 22 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 and default transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, grew by 13 percent in the current quarter compared with last year.

Information and other revenues were $274 million during the quarter, up $36 million, or 15 percent, compared with last year. This increase was primarily driven by refinance activity in the company's Canadian operations, revenue growth in the company's subservicing business, and higher demand for non-insured information products and services.

Investment income was $157 million in the fourth quarter, up $2 million, or 1 percent, compared with the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily driven by higher interest income from the company's investment portfolio due to an increase in average balances, mostly offset by lower interest income from operating cash due to a decline in average balances as well as lower short-term interest rates. Net investment gains totaled $28 million in the current quarter, compared with net investment losses of $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The net investment gains in the current quarter were primarily due to recognized gains in the venture portfolio, while net investment losses last year were primarily due to asset impairments.

Personnel costs were $581 million in the fourth quarter, up $57 million, or 11 percent, compared with the same quarter of 2024. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to higher incentive compensation expense as a result of improved financial performance.

Other operating expenses were $282 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $19 million, or 7 percent, compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher production expense across several business units due to higher transaction volumes and higher software expense. These higher costs were partly offset by a $13 million reserve release in Canada.

The provision for policy losses and other claims was $44 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 $11 million in the loss reserve estimate for prior policy years.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $55 million in the fourth quarter, up $4 million, or 8 percent from last year, due to higher amortization of internally developed software.

Interest expense was $29 million in the current quarter, up $2 million, or 8 percent from last year, primarily due to higher interest expense related to deposits at the company's bank subsidiary.

Pretax income for the Title Insurance and Services segment was $288 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $126 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Pretax margin was 14.9 percent in the current quarter, compared with 7.9 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 14.0 percent in the current period, compared with 11.8 percent last year.

Total revenues for the Home Warranty segment were $110 million in the fourth quarter, up $8 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. The segment posted pretax income of $23 million this quarter, compared with $19 million last year. The claim loss rate was 40.1 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with 43.7 percent last year, due to fewer claims, partly offset by higher claim severity. Home Warranty’s pretax margin was 21.1 percent this quarter, compared with 18.1 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 21.0 percent this quarter, compared with 18.2 percent last year.

Corporate

The Corporate segment recorded a net pretax loss of $24 million this quarter compared with a loss of $45 million in the prior year. Excluding net investment losses, adjusted pretax loss was $10 million in the current quarter compared with $22 million last year. The current quarter benefited from a $15 million insurance recovery.

Please note that during the fourth quarter of 2025, the company revised refinance order counts and corresponding total order counts for all periods prior to the third quarter of 2025, which impacted all related year-over-year metrics, due to certain home equity orders that were previously excluded. These revised order counts also impacted ARPO previously reported in earnings releases for the periods prior to the third quarter of 2025; however, there was no change to reported revenues.
