Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.1 billion, up 15 percent compared with the second quarter of 2025. Net income in the current quarter was $218 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $146 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income in the current quarter was $214 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared with $158 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year. Net investment gains in the current quarter were $12 million, or 9 cents per diluted share, compared with net investment losses of $10 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year. Purchase-related intangible amortization in both the current and prior year quarters was $7 million, or 5 cents per diluted share. The effective tax rate this quarter was 22.8 percent.
“Our earnings momentum continued in the second quarter, with adjusted earnings per share up 36 percent compared with the prior year,” said Mark Seaton, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. “Our results were driven by our commercial business, which is on pace for a record year in 2026. In addition, investment income in our title segment grew 11 percent, despite a decline in the federal funds rate. Our adjusted pretax title margin was 14 percent for the quarter, a strong result given continued weakness in the residential market.
“Our primary strategic focus is to leverage AI across our business. We are integrating this technology into our workflows to enhance our employees’ effectiveness, deliver a better experience for customers, and improve the way we operate. As these capabilities evolve, we will continue investing in our people, platforms, and products to drive innovation and reinforce our leadership in the markets we serve.”

Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment were $2.0 billion in the second quarter, up 17 percent compared with the same quarter of 2025. Total adjusted revenues in the current quarter were $2.0 billion, up 14 percent compared with last year. Direct premiums and escrow fees were $689 million, an increase of 15 percent compared with the second quarter of last year, driven by a 17 percent increase in the average revenue per order closed, partially offset by a 1 percent decline in the number of direct title orders closed in our domestic operations. The average revenue per direct title order rose to $4,572, primarily due to an increase in the average revenue per order for commercial transactions, partially offset by a shift in the mix to lower premium refinance transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, were $820 million, up 14 percent compared with last year.
Information and other revenues were $295 million during the quarter, up $31 million, or 12 percent, compared with last year. The increase was primarily driven by revenue growth in the company’s subservicing business, higher demand for non-insured information products and services, and refinance activity in the company’s Canadian operations.
Investment income was $164 million in the second quarter, up $17 million, or 11 percent, compared with the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest income from the company’s investment portfolio. Net investment gains were $47 million in the current quarter, primarily attributable to increases in the fair values of marketable equity securities, compared with losses of $5 million in the same quarter last year.
Personnel costs were $572 million in the second quarter, up $49 million, or 9 percent, compared with the same quarter of 2025. The increase in personnel costs was primarily attributable to incentive compensation expense resulting from higher revenue and profitability, and higher salary expense.
Other operating expenses of $319 million in the current quarter were up $41 million, or 15 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher production expense driven by higher volumes and an increase in software expense.
The provision for policy losses and other claims was $45 million in the second quarter, or 3.0 percent of title premiums and escrow fees, unchanged from the prior year. The second 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 $52 million in the second quarter, up $1 million, or 1 percent, compared with the same period last year.
Interest expense was $30 million in the current quarter, up $8 million, or 33 percent, compared with last year primarily due to higher interest expense on deposit balances at the company’s bank subsidiary.
The Title Insurance and Services segment posted pretax income of $316 million in the second quarter, compared with pretax income of $217 million in the second quarter of 2025. Pretax margin was 15.7 percent in the current quarter, compared with 12.6 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 14.0 percent in the current period, compared with 13.2 percent last year.

Total revenues for the Home Warranty segment were $114 million in the second quarter, up 3 percent compared with last year. Total adjusted revenues in the current quarter were $112 million, up 1 percent compared with last year. The segment posted pretax income of $24 million this quarter, up 9 percent compared with last year. The claim loss rate declined to 40 percent in the second quarter, compared with 41 percent last year, primarily due to lower claim frequency, partially offset by higher claim severity. Home Warranty’s pretax margin was 21.3 percent this quarter, compared with 20.2 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 20.2 percent this quarter, compared with 20.7 percent last year.
Corporate
The Corporate segment pretax loss was $56 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of $44 million last year. Excluding net investment gains and losses, the Corporate pretax loss was $20 million in the current quarter, compared with a $40 million loss in the second quarter of last year. The current quarter benefited from a $7 million insurance recovery, while the prior period included a $13 million one-time expense related to executive separation costs.

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. |
