Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.  The principles for condensed interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the First American Financial Corporation (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance intended to increase the comparability of financial information across reporting entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual restrictions preventing the sale of those securities.  The updated guidance clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, as a result, should not be considered in measuring fair value.  In addition, new disclosures are required about the nature of the restrictions and their remaining duration.  The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 –Trust Assets, Escrow and Other Deposits

The Company administers escrow deposits and trust assets as a service to its direct customers.  Escrow deposits totaled $14.0 billion and $10.8 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which $5.8 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, were held at First American Trust, FSB (“FA Trust”).  The escrow deposits held at FA Trust are temporarily invested in cash and cash equivalents and debt securities, with offsetting liabilities included in deposits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The remaining escrow deposits were held at third-party financial institutions.

Trust assets held or managed by FA Trust totaled $4.1 billion and $4.6 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Escrow deposits held at third-party financial institutions and trust assets are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.

In conducting its operations, the Company often holds customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions and, as a result, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits with various financial institutions.  The results from these programs are included as income or a reduction in expense, as appropriate, in the consolidated statements of income based on the nature of the arrangement and benefit received.

The Company facilitates tax-deferred property exchanges for customers pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and tax-deferred reverse exchanges pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2000-37.  As a facilitator and intermediary, the Company holds the proceeds from sales transactions and takes temporary title to property identified by the customer to be acquired with such proceeds.  Upon the completion of each such exchange, the identified property is transferred to the customer or, if the exchange does not take place, an amount equal to the sales proceeds or, in the case of a reverse exchange, title to the property held by the Company is transferred to the customer.  Like-kind exchange funds administered by the Company totaled $5.2 billion and $6.0 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  The like-kind exchange deposits are held at third-party financial institutions and, due to the structure utilized to facilitate these transactions, the proceeds and property are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable to the customer for the transfers of property, disbursements of proceeds and the returns on such proceeds.

In conducting its residential mortgage loan servicing, subservicing, originations and sales operations, the Company administers cash deposits on behalf of investors, mortgagors and subservicing clients.  Cash deposits, which are held at third-party financial institutions, totaled $865 million and $433 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  These cash deposits are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.  In connection with certain accounts, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits with various financial institutions whereby it earns economic benefits either as income or as a reduction in expense.

Based on the Company’s review of its debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, it determined that the losses were due to non-credit factors.  As such, the Company does not consider these securities to be credit impaired at June 30, 2022.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell any debt securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

In determining credit losses on its debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company considers certain factors which may include, among others, severity of the unrealized loss, security type, industry sector, credit rating, profitability and stock performance.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates (income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes) were 22.1% and 23.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 24.0% and 23.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.  The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate as a result of state and foreign income taxes for which the Company is liable, as well as permanent differences between amounts reported for financial statement purposes and amounts reported for income tax purposes, including the recognition of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies associated with share-based payment transactions through income tax expense.  The effective income tax rate for 2021 also reflected benefits related to foreign tax law changes.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and makes adjustments to the allowance as necessary.  The factors used in assessing the likelihood of realization include forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented.  The Company’s ability or inability to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of its deferred tax assets.  Based on future operating results in certain jurisdictions, it is possible that the current valuation allowance positions of those jurisdictions could be adjusted during the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $8 million.  The liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 could be reduced by $3 million due to offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential adjustments, including timing adjustments, and state income taxes.  The net liability, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  Accrued interest and penalties, net of tax benefits, related to uncertain tax positions were not material as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

It is reasonably possible that the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions may increase or decrease within the next 12 months.  Any such change may be the result of either ongoing audits or the expiration of federal and state statutes of limitations for the assessment of taxes.

The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and various non-U.S. jurisdictions.  The primary non-federal jurisdictions are California, Canada, India and the United Kingdom.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to 2018, 2016, and 2014, respectively.

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).  The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available.  The hierarchy level assigned to the assets and liabilities is based on management’s assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values at the measurement date.  The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement and involve management judgment.

If the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the hierarchy level assigned is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables present the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities, measured on a recurring basis, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 16 – Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of lawsuits and are also involved in numerous ongoing routine legal and regulatory proceedings related to their operations.  These lawsuits and proceedings frequently are similar in nature to other lawsuits and proceedings pending against the Company’s competitors.  When the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts has been recorded.  Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded.  

With respect to the Company’s outstanding ordinary course lawsuits and proceedings, the Company has determined either that a loss is not reasonably possible or that the estimated loss or range of loss, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Our ordinary course lawsuits include putative or purported class action lawsuits, which challenge practices in the Company’s title insurance and services and home warranty businesses.

FIRST AMERICAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)
(unaudited)

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are also parties to consumer class actions in connection with the information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019.  All of these lawsuits are putative class actions for which a class has not been certified.  Due to the complexity and uncertainty involved with these class action lawsuits, including the requirements for the certification of a class, the Company has not yet been able to assess the probability of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of loss of these lawsuits.  While these lawsuits could be material to the Company’s financial results in any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, the Company does not believe that any of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, the Company and certain members of its board of directors and certain executives were parties to a shareholder derivative action, Hollett v. Gilmore, et al., filed on November 25, 2020 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.  The allegations arose out of the information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 and the resulting legal proceedings and disclosures made at the time of the incident.  The action was dismissed on June 7, 2022.

The Company’s title insurance, property and casualty insurance, home warranty, mortgage servicing and subservicing, banking, thrift, trust and wealth management businesses are regulated by various federal, state and local governmental agencies.  Many of the Company’s other businesses operate within statutory guidelines.  Consequently, the Company may from time to time be subject to examination or investigation by such governmental agencies.  Currently, governmental agencies are examining or investigating certain of the Company’s operations.  Exams and investigations by governmental agencies include an investigation initiated in connection with the information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 by the New York Department of Financial Services.  The New York Department of Financial Services has alleged violations of its cyber security requirements for financial services companies and filed a statement of charges on July 22, 2020, as amended on March 10, 2021, and the previously scheduled administrative hearing has been postponed and not rescheduled.  While the ultimate disposition of the New York Department of Financial Services matter is not yet determinable, the Company does not believe that it or any of the other pending examinations or investigations will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Some of these exams or investigations could, however, result in changes to the Company’s business practices which could ultimately have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 17 – Business Combinations

In May 2022, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of a California-based provider of title insurance, underwriting and escrow services for residential and commercial real estate transactions for a purchase price of $300 million in cash.  In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded preliminary fair value estimates for goodwill, other intangible assets and other assets of $203 million, $37 million and $10 million, respectively.  The Company recognized revenues of $36 million and pre-tax income of $6 million since the acquisition date, related to the acquiree, during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

CERTAIN STATEMENTS IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.  THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MAY CONTAIN THE WORDS “BELIEVE,” “ANTICIPATE,” “EXPECT,” “INTEND,” “PLAN,” “PREDICT,” “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “WILL BE,” “WILL CONTINUE,” “WILL LIKELY RESULT,” OR OTHER SIMILAR WORDS AND PHRASES.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES EXIST THAT MAY CAUSE RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE SET FORTH IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.  FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS TO DIFFER FROM THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE THE FACTORS SET FORTH ON PAGES 3-4 OF THIS QUARTERLY REPORT.  THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE THEY ARE MADE.  THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE TO UPDATE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS THAT OCCUR AFTER THE DATE THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE MADE.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including adjusted information and other revenues, adjusted personnel costs, and adjusted other operating expenses, in each case excluding the effects of recent acquisitions, and adjusted debt to capitalization ratio as it excludes the effect of secured financings payable.  The Company is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because they provide the Company’s management and readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with additional insight into the operational performance of the Company relative to earlier periods and additional insight into the financial leverage of the Company.  The Company does not intend for these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for any GAAP financial information.  In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these non-GAAP financial measures have been presented with, and reconciled to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures.  Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation of adjusted debt to capitalization ratio may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies that it considers to be the most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions can be found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

A substantial portion of the revenues for the Company’s title insurance and services segment results from the sale and refinancing of residential and commercial real estate.  In the Company’s specialty insurance segment, revenues associated with the initial year of coverage in the home warranty operations are impacted by volatility in residential purchase transactions.  Traditionally, the greatest volume of real estate activity, particularly residential purchase activity, has occurred in the spring and summer months.  However, changes in interest rates, as well as other changes in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, can cause fluctuations in the traditional pattern of real estate activity.

The Company’s total revenues decreased $204 million, or 9.0%, in the second quarter of 2022 when compared with the second quarter of 2021.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in net investment gains/losses of $219 million, or 254.7%, and a decrease in direct premiums of $28 million, or 93.3%, resulting from the wind-down of the property and casualty insurance business, partially offset by an increase in agent premiums in the title insurance business of $32 million, or 3.5%.  Direct premiums and escrow fees in the title insurance and services segment from domestic commercial and residential purchase transactions increased $66 million, or 29.6%, and $7 million, or 2.1%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022 when compared to the second quarter of 2021, while direct premiums and escrow fees from domestic residential refinance transactions decreased $77 million, or 58.3%, when compared to the second quarter of 2021.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s July 18, 2022 Mortgage Finance Forecast (the “MBA Forecast”), residential mortgage originations in the United States (based on the total dollar value of the transactions) decreased 35.4% in the second quarter of 2022 when compared with the second quarter of 2021.  According to the MBA Forecast, the dollar amount of purchase originations increased 3.7% and refinance originations decreased 65.9%.  This volume of domestic residential mortgage origination activity contributed to an increase in direct premiums and escrow fees for the Company’s direct title operations of 2.1% from domestic residential purchase transactions and a decrease of 58.3% from domestic refinance transactions in the second quarter of 2022 when compared with the second quarter of 2021.  

During the second quarter of 2022, the level of domestic title orders opened per day by the Company’s direct title operations decreased 21.9% when compared with the second quarter of 2021.  Residential purchase, refinance and commercial opened orders per day decreased 12.1%, 62.1%, and 3.9%, respectively, when compared with the second quarter of 2021.

The Company recorded net investment losses of $133 million in the second quarter of 2022, which included unrealized losses totaling $77 million related to the Company’s venture investment portfolio.  Included in unrealized losses in the venture investment portfolio were losses of $92 million related to the Company’s investment in Offerpad Solutions Inc., offset by gains of $15 million related to other venture investments.  Investments within the Company’s venture portfolio are expected from time to time to cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations due to the recognition of gains or losses in connection with observable price changes, such as from liquidity events, subsequent equity sales, or price changes in investments that trade publicly, which changes can be volatile.

Direct premiums and escrow fees were $793 million and $1.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $6 million, or 0.8%, and $14 million, or 1.0%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were due to increases in domestic average revenues per order and increases in premiums in the Canadian operations, partially offset by a reduction in the number of domestic title orders closed by the Company’s direct title operations.  Domestic average revenues per order closed were $3,523 and $3,246 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of 32.9% and 36.6% when compared with $2,651 and $2,376 for the respective periods of the prior year, which were due to higher average revenues per order from commercial transactions, higher average revenues per order from residential purchase transactions due to higher real estate values, and, to a lesser extent, a shift in mix from lower premium residential refinance transactions to higher premium commercial transactions.  The increases were also due to recent acquisitions of escrow companies, which have contributed escrow revenue to the numerator when determining average revenues per order without a corresponding title order included in the denominator.  The Company’s direct title operations closed 205,000 and 410,100 domestic title orders during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, decreases of 24.4% and 26.6% when compared with 271,100 and 558,700 domestic title orders closed during the respective periods of the prior year, which was generally consistent with the changes in residential mortgage origination activity in the United States as reported in the MBA Forecast.  Domestic residential refinance orders closed per day decreased by 60.2% and 61.6%, respectively, and domestic residential purchase orders closed per day decreased by 11.0% and 9.3%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, when compared to the respective periods of the prior year.

Agent premiums were $937 million and $1.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, an increase of $32 million, or 3.5%, and $135 million, or 7.7%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  Agent premiums are recorded when notice of issuance is received from the agent, which is generally when cash payment is received by the Company.  As a result, there is generally a delay between the agent’s issuance of a title policy and the Company’s recognition of agent premiums.  Therefore, current quarter agent premiums typically reflect prior quarter mortgage origination activity.  The increase in agent premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is generally consistent with the 1.2% increase in the Company’s direct premiums and escrow fees in the first quarter of 2022 as compared with the first quarter of 2021.  

Information and other revenues primarily consist of revenues generated from fees associated with title search and related reports, title and other real property records and images, other non-insured settlement services and risk mitigation products and services.  These revenues generally trend with direct premiums and escrow fees but are typically less volatile since a portion of the revenues are subscription based and do not fluctuate with transaction volumes.

Information and other revenues were $305 million and $607 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $6 million, or 2.0%, and $32 million, or 5.6%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The increases were primarily attributable to the impact of recent acquisitions, which were $47 million and $72 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.  Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, information and other revenues decreased $41 million, or 13.7%, and $40 million, or 7.0%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The decreases in information and other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, were primarily due to decreases in the demand for the Company’s information products, post-close services and document generation services.

Net investment income totaled $70 million and $122 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $23 million, or 48.9% and $32 million, or 35.6%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The increases in investment income were primarily driven by higher short-term interest rates and higher average balances in the Company’s investment portfolio and escrow and like-kind exchange deposits.  

Net investment losses of $52 million and $22 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, were primarily attributable to changes in the fair values of marketable equity securities.  Net investment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were partially offset by a $51 million gain realized on the sale of an investment in a title insurance business.  Net investment gains of $26 million and $48 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, were primarily attributable to changes in the fair values of marketable equity securities.  Net investment gains of $44 million and $86 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to certain non-marketable investments previously reported in the second quarter of 2021 have been reclassified to the corporate segment.

Personnel costs were $613 million and $1.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $57 million, or 10.3%, and $136 million, or 12.8%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  Excluding the $60 million and $99 million impact from recent acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, personnel expenses decreased $3 million, or 0.5%, and increased $37 million, or 3.5%, when compared with the same periods of the prior year.  The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted for the impact of recent acquisitions, was due to lower incentive compensation resulting from lower revenue and profitability, lower expense related to the Company’s 401(k) savings plan match and lower overtime expense, partially offset by higher salary expense due to higher headcount, higher average salaries and higher severance expense.  The increase in personnel costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted for the impact of recent acquisitions, was due to higher headcount, higher average salaries and an increase in share-based compensation related to restricted stock awards, partially offset by lower overtime expense and lower expense related to the Company’s 401(k) savings plan match.

Agents retained $748 million and $1.5 billion of title premiums generated by agency operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which compares with $719 million and $1.4 billion for the respective periods of the prior year.  The percentage of title premiums retained by agents was 79.8% and 79.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 79.4% for the respective periods of the prior year.

Other operating expenses for the title insurance and services segment were $316 million and $620 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $16 million, or 5.3%, and $55 million, or 9.7%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  Excluding the $27 million and $44 million impact from recent acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, other operating expenses decreased $11 million, or 3.7%, and increased $11 million, or 1.9%, when compared with the same periods of the prior year.  The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted for the impact of recent acquisitions, was primarily attributable to lower production expense due to lower transaction volumes and lower computer hardware expense, partially offset by higher software expense.  The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted for the impact of recent acquisitions, was due to higher software, higher professional services and travel expense, partially offset by lower production related expense due to lower transaction volumes and lower computer hardware expense.

The provision for policy losses and other claims, expressed as a percentage of title premiums and escrow fees, was 4.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.  The 4.0% loss rate reflects the ultimate loss rate for both the 2022 and 2021 policy years and no change in the loss reserve estimates for prior policy years.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $41 million and $81 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $1 million, or 2.5%, and $5 million, or 6.6%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to higher amortization of software and intangible assets related to recent acquisitions.

33

Premium taxes were $22 million and $45 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $2 million, or 10.0%, and $4 million, or 9.8%, respectively, compared to $20 million and $41 million for the same periods of the prior year.  Premium taxes as a percentage of title insurance premiums and escrow fees was 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and were 1.2% and 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Interest expense was $4 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which was flat and a decrease of $3 million, or 27.3%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower interest paid on secured financings payable due to lower average balances outstanding.

Pretax margins for the title insurance business reflect the high cost of performing the essential services required before insuring title, whereas the corresponding revenues are subject to regulatory and competitive pricing restraints.  Due to the relatively high proportion of fixed costs in the title insurance business, pretax margins generally improve as closed order volumes increase.  Pretax margins for the segment are also impacted by (1) net investment income and net investment gains or losses, which may not move in the same direction as closed order volumes, (2) the composition (residential or commercial) and type (resale, refinancing or new construction) of real estate activity and (3) by the percentage of title insurance premiums generated by agency operations as margins from direct operations are generally higher than from agency operations due primarily to the large portion of the premium that is retained by the agent.  The title insurance and services segment recorded pretax margins of 11.7% and 11.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with 17.3% and 16.3% in the respective periods of the prior year.

Direct premiums were $104 million and $212 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, decreases of $26 million, or 20.0%, and $46 million, or 17.8%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The decreases were primarily attributable to declines in direct premiums in the property and casualty insurance business of $28 million and $52 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, reflecting the Company’s continued wind-down of the business, which was partially offset by increases in direct premiums in the home warranty business of $2 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to increases in the average price charged per contract.

Net investment (losses) gains totaled losses of $4 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and were primarily from changes in the fair values of marketable equity securities. Net investment gains totaled $16 million and $19 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and were primarily from the sale of the Company’s property and casualty insurance agency operations and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the fair values of equity securities.  

34

Personnel costs and other operating expenses were $40 million and $84 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, decreases of $6 million, or 13.0%, and $8 million, or 8.7%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The decreases were primarily attributable to decreases in deferred policy costs, agent commissions, incentive compensation and salaries expense in the property and casualty insurance business, partially offset by higher advertising expense in the home warranty business.

The provision for home warranty claims, expressed as a percentage of home warranty premiums, was 52.4% and 49.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with 55.5% and 54.7% for the respective periods of the prior year.  The decreases in the claims rates were primarily attributable to lower claims frequency, partially offset by higher claims severity.

The Company is continuing its wind-down of the property and casualty insurance business through the transfer and non-renewal of policies.  The Company’s policies in force have declined by approximately 99.5% from prior year, as of June 30, 2022, and it expects the transfers to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022.

The property and casualty insurance business recorded revenues of $1 million and $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with $44 million and $79 million for the respective periods of the prior year.  Losses before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $5 million and $9 million, respectively, compared with income before income taxes of $6 million and a loss before income taxes of $1 million for the respective periods of the prior year.

Premium taxes were $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with $2 million and $4 million for the respective periods of the prior year.  Premium taxes as a percentage premiums were 1.0% and 0.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 1.5% and 1.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

A large part of the revenues for the specialty insurance segment are generated by renewals and are not dependent on the level of real estate activity in the year of renewal. With the exception of policy losses, the majority of the expenses for this segment are variable in nature and, therefore, generally fluctuate consistent with revenue fluctuations.  Accordingly, pretax margins for this segment (before policy losses) are relatively constant, although as a result of some fixed expenses, profit margins (before policy losses) should nominally improve as premium revenues increase.  Specialty insurance pretax margins are also impacted by the segment’s net investment income and net investment gains or losses, which may not move in the same direction as premium revenues.  The specialty insurance segment recorded pretax margins of 3.8% and 7.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with 13.2% and 9.0% in the respective periods of the prior year.

(1) Not meaningful

Net investment (losses) income totaled losses of $18 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with net investment income of $7 million and $12 million for the respective periods of the prior year.  The decrease in net investment (losses) income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower earnings on investments associated with the Company’s deferred compensation plan when compared to the same period of 2021.  

35

Net investment (losses) gains totaled losses of $77 million and $148 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with net investment gains of $44 million and $86 million for the respective periods of the prior year. Net investment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily related to pricing changes on equity investments within the Company’s venture portfolio.  The prior year gains were previously classified within the title insurance and services segment.  

Corporate personnel costs and other operating expenses were ($7) million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with $18 million and $34 million for the respective periods of the prior year.  The decreases were primarily attributable to lower expenses related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan

Interest expense was $15 million and $31 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, increases of $3 million, or 25.0%, and $8 million, or 34.8%, when compared with the respective periods of the prior year.  The increases were due to additional interest accrued on the $650 million of 2.4% senior unsecured notes issued by the Company in August 2021.

Eliminations

The Company’s inter-segment eliminations were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rates (income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes) were 22.1% and 23.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with 24.0% and 23.8% for the respective periods of the prior year.  The differences in the effective tax rates are primarily due to additional state income taxes related to non-insurance income and benefits related to foreign tax law changes in the prior year.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and makes adjustments to the allowance as necessary.  The factors used in assessing the likelihood of realization include forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented.  The Company’s ability or inability to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of its deferred tax assets.  Based on future operating results in certain jurisdictions, it is possible that the current valuation allowance positions of those jurisdictions could be adjusted during the next 12 months.

NET INCOME AND NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE COMPANY

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $110 million and $208 million, respectively, compared with $304 million and $538 million for the respective periods of the prior year. Net income attributable to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $109 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, and $207 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, respectively, compared with $302 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, and $536 million, or $4.81 per diluted share, for the respective periods of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash requirements.    The Company generates cash primarily from the sale of its products and services and investment income.  The Company’s current cash requirements include operating expenses, taxes, payments of principal and interest on its debt, capital expenditures, dividends on its common stock, and may include business acquisitions, investments in private companies, primarily those in the venture-stage, and repurchases of its common stock.  Management forecasts the cash needs of the holding company and its primary subsidiaries and regularly reviews their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts.  Based on the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, its liquid-asset position and amounts available on its revolving credit facility, management believes that its resources are sufficient to satisfy its anticipated operational cash requirements and obligations for at least the next twelve months.

The substantial majority of the Company’s business is dependent upon activity in the real estate and mortgage markets, which are cyclical and seasonal.  Periods of increasing interest rates and reduced mortgage financing availability generally have an adverse effect on residential real estate activity and therefore typically decrease the Company’s revenues.  In contrast, periods of declining interest rates and increased mortgage financing availability generally have a positive effect on residential real estate activity, which typically increases the Company’s revenues.  Residential purchase activity is typically slower in the winter months with increased volumes in the spring and summer months.  Residential refinance activity is typically more volatile than purchase activity and is highly impacted by changes in interest rates.  Commercial real estate volumes are less sensitive to changes in interest rates but fluctuate based on local supply and demand conditions for space and mortgage financing availability.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $229 million and $477 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, after claim payments, net of recoveries, of $223 million and $231 million, respectively.  The principal nonoperating uses of cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were advances and repayments related to secured financing transactions, purchases of debt and equity securities, repurchases of Company shares, dividends to common stockholders and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, acquisitions.  The principal nonoperating sources of cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were borrowings and collections related to secured financing transactions, proceeds from the sales and maturities of debt and equity securities and increases in the deposit balances at the Company’s banking operations.  The net effect of all activities on cash and cash equivalents were increases of $517 million and $948 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company continually assesses its capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to dividends, stock repurchases, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. In June 2022, the Company paid a second quarter cash dividend of 51 cents per common share.  Management expects that the Company will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends at or above the current level.  The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends, however, falls within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s financial condition and earnings, the capital requirements of the Company’s businesses, restrictions imposed by applicable law and any other factors the board of directors deems relevant from time to time.

In June 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase plan and terminated its prior share repurchase plan.  The Company’s new share repurchase plan authorizes the repurchase of up to $400 million of the Company’s common stock, of which $392 million remained as of June 30, 2022.  Purchases may be made from time to time by the Company in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions.  Cumulatively, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and retired, under both the current and prior authorizations, 5.5 million shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of $335 million.

During the six months ended June 30 2022, the Company completed acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $308 million in cash.

37

Holding Company.    First American Financial Corporation is a holding company that conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries.  The holding company’s current cash requirements include payments of principal and interest on its debt, taxes, payments in connection with employee benefit plans, dividends on its common stock and other expenses.  The holding company is dependent upon dividends and other payments from its operating subsidiaries to meet its cash requirements.  The Company’s target is to maintain a cash balance at the holding company equal to at least twelve months of estimated cash requirements.  At certain points in time, the actual cash balance at the holding company may vary from this target due to, among other factors, the timing and amount of cash payments made and dividend payments received.  Pursuant to insurance and other regulations under which the Company’s insurance subsidiaries operate, the amount of dividends, loans and advances available to the holding company is limited, principally for the protection of policyholders.  As of June 30, 2022, under such regulations, the maximum amount available to the holding company from its insurance subsidiaries for the remainder of 2022, without prior approval from applicable regulators, was dividends of $474 million and loans and advances of $126 million.  However, the timing and amount of dividends paid by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries to the holding company falls within the discretion of each insurance subsidiary’s board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including the level of total statutory capital and surplus required to support minimum financial strength ratings by certain rating agencies.  Such restrictions have not had, nor are they expected to have, an impact on the holding company’s ability to meet its cash obligations.

As of June 30, 2022, the holding company’s sources of liquidity included $349 million of cash and cash equivalents and $700 million available on the Company’s revolving credit facility.  Management believes that liquidity at the holding company is sufficient to satisfy anticipated cash requirements and obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Financing.    The Company maintains a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto.  The credit agreement, which is comprised of a $700 million revolving credit facility, includes an expansion option that permits the Company, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, to increase the revolving commitments and/or add term loan tranches in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350 million.  Unless terminated earlier, the credit agreement will terminate on April 30, 2024.  The obligations of the Company under the credit agreement are neither secured nor guaranteed.  Proceeds under the credit agreement may be used for general corporate purposes.  At June 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the facility.

In addition to amounts available under its credit facility, certain subsidiaries of the Company maintain separate financing arrangements.  The primary financing arrangements maintained by subsidiaries of the Company are as follows:

• FirstFunding, Inc., a specialized warehouse lender to correspondent mortgage lenders, maintains secured warehouse lending facilities with several banking institutions.  At June 30, 2022, outstanding borrowings under these facilities totaled $417 million.

• ServiceMac, LLC, a residential mortgage subservicer, maintains secured warehouse lending facilities with several banking institutions.  At June 30, 2022, outstanding borrowings under these facilities were not material.

• First American Trust, FSB (“FA Trust”), a federal savings bank, maintains a secured line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and federal funds lines of credit with certain correspondent institutions.  In addition, FA Trust is a party to master repurchase agreements under which securities may be loaned or sold.  At June 30, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under any of these facilities.

• First Canadian Title Company Limited, a Canadian title insurance and services company, maintains credit facilities with certain Canadian banking institutions. At June 30, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under these facilities.

The Company’s debt to capitalization ratios were 29.6% and 27.4% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  The Company’s adjusted debt to capitalization ratios, excluding secured financings payable of $429 million and $538 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were 25.0% and 22.2%, respectively.

Investment Portfolio.    The Company maintains a high quality, liquid investment portfolio that is primarily held at its insurance and banking subsidiaries.  As of June 30, 2022, 96% of the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of debt securities, of which 67% were either United States government-backed or rated AAA and 97% were either rated or classified as investment grade.  Percentages are based on the estimated fair values of the securities.  Credit ratings reflect published ratings obtained from globally recognized securities rating agencies.  If a security was rated differently among the rating agencies, the lowest rating was selected.  For further information on the credit quality of the Company’s debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2022, see Note 3 Debt Securities to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to its debt and marketable equity securities portfolio, the Company maintains investments in non-marketable equity securities and securities accounted for under the equity method.  For further information on the Company’s equity securities, see Note 4 Equity Securities to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-balance sheet arrangements.    The Company administers escrow deposits and trust assets as a service to its direct customers.  Escrow deposits totaled $14.0 billion and $10.8 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which $5.8 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, were held at FA Trust.  The escrow deposits held at FA Trust are temporarily invested in cash and cash equivalents and debt securities, with offsetting liabilities included in deposits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The remaining escrow deposits were held at third-party financial institutions.

Trust assets held or managed by FA Trust totaled $4.1 billion and $4.6 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Escrow deposits held at third-party financial institutions and trust assets are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.

In conducting its operations, the Company often holds customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions and, as a result, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits with various financial institutions.  The results from these programs are included as income or a reduction in expense, as appropriate, in the consolidated statements of income based on the nature of the arrangement and benefit received.

The Company facilitates tax-deferred property exchanges for customers pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and tax-deferred reverse exchanges pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2000-37.  As a facilitator and intermediary, the Company holds the proceeds from sales transactions and takes temporary title to property identified by the customer to be acquired with such proceeds.  Upon the completion of each such exchange, the identified property is transferred to the customer or, if the exchange does not take place, an amount equal to the sales proceeds or, in the case of a reverse exchange, title to the property held by the Company is transferred to the customer.  Like-kind exchange funds administered by the Company totaled $5.2 billion and $6.0 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  The like-kind exchange deposits are held at third-party financial institutions and, due to the structure utilized to facilitate these transactions, the proceeds and property are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable to the customer for the transfers of property, disbursements of proceeds and the returns on such proceeds.

In conducting its residential mortgage loan servicing, subservicing, originations and sales operations, the Company administers cash deposits on behalf of investors, mortgagors and subservicing clients.  Cash deposits, which are held at third-party financial institutions, totaled $865 million and $433 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  These cash deposits are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.  In connection with certain accounts, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits with various financial institutions whereby it earns economic benefits either as income or as a reduction in expense.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’s primary exposure to market risk relates to interest rate risk associated with certain financial instruments.  Although the Company monitors its risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates, it does not currently use derivative financial instruments on any significant scale to hedge these risks.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risks since the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

See Note 16 Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1.  Financial Statements (unaudited)” of Part I of this report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following “risk factors” could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, reputation, financial position or future financial performance. You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company faces risks other than those listed here, including those that are unknown to the Company and others of which the Company may be aware but, at present, considers immaterial.  Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting the Company’s operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

STRATEGIC RISK FACTORS

1.The Company’s risk management framework could prove inadequate, which could adversely affect the Company

The Company’s risk management framework is designed to identify, monitor and mitigate risks that could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition or reputation.  This framework includes departments or groups dedicated to enterprise risk management, information security, disaster recovery and other information technology-related risks, business continuity, legal and compliance, compensation structures and other human resources matters, vendor management and internal audit, among others.  Many of the processes overseen by these departments function at the enterprise level, but many also function through, or rely to a certain degree upon, risk mitigation efforts in local operating groups.  This is especially the case with respect to the Company’s operations outside of the United States and recently acquired businesses.  Similarly, with respect to the risks the Company assumes in the ordinary course of its business through the issuance of title insurance policies and the provision of related products and services, the Company employs localized,  as well as centralized risk mitigation efforts.  These efforts include the implementation of underwriting policies and procedures, automated underwriting and other risk-decisioning tools and other mechanisms for assessing and managing risk.  Underwriting title insurance policies and making other risk-assumption decisions frequently involves a substantial degree of individual judgment and, accordingly, underwriters are maintained at the state, regional, divisional, and corporate levels with varying degrees of underwriting authority.  These individuals may be encouraged by customers or others to assume risks or to expeditiously make risk determinations.  If the Company’s risk mitigation efforts prove inadequate, the Company could be adversely affected.

2.The Company is pursuing various innovative initiatives, which could result in increased title claims or otherwise adversely affect the Company

In an effort to speed the delivery of its products, increase efficiency, improve quality, improve the customer experience and decrease risk, the Company is increasingly utilizing innovative technologies, processes and techniques in the creation of its products and services.  These efforts include streamlining the closing process by converting certain manual processes into automated ones, which the Company believes will improve the customer experience by simplifying and reducing the time it takes to close a transaction, reducing risk and improving communication.  The Company increasingly is employing advanced technologies to automate various processes, including various processes related to the building, maintaining and updating of title plants and other data assets, as well as searches, examinations, and other underwriting functions in connection with the issuance of title insurance policies.  In connection with the increase in orders beginning in 2020, the Company expanded the use of certain of these advanced technologies in order to facilitate the processing of those orders and expects to continue the expanded use of these technologies.  Risks from these and other innovative initiatives include those associated with potential defects in the design and development of the technologies used to automate processes; misapplication of technologies; the reliance on data, rules or assumptions that may prove inadequate; information security vulnerabilities; and failure to meet customer expectations, among others.  As a result of these risks, the Company could experience increased claims, reputational damage or other adverse effects, which could be material to the Company.  

41

3.Potentially disruptive innovation in the real estate industry and/or the Company’s participation in these efforts could adversely affect the Company

In addition to the Company’s innovative activities, other participants in the real estate industry are seeking to innovate in ways that could adversely impact the Company’s businesses.  These participants include certain of the Company’s sources of business, competitors, investments and ultimate customers.  Innovations by these participants may change the demand for the Company’s products and services, the manner in which the Company’s products and services are ordered or fulfilled and the revenue or profitability derived from the Company’s products and services.  The Company’s investments in some of these participants could also facilitate efforts that ultimately disrupt the Company’s business or enable competitors.  Accordingly, the Company’s efforts to anticipate and participate in these transformations could require significant additional investment and management attention and may not succeed.  These innovative efforts by third parties, and the manner in which the Company, its agents and other industry participants respond to them, could therefore have an adverse effect on the Company.

OPERATIONAL RISK FACTORS

4.Conditions in the real estate market generally impact the demand for a substantial portion of the Company’s products and services

Demand for a substantial portion of the Company’s products and services generally decreases as the number of real estate transactions in which its products and services are purchased decreases.  The number of real estate transactions in which the Company’s products and services are purchased typically decreases in the following situations, among others:

• when mortgage interest rates are high or rising;

• when the availability of credit, including commercial and residential mortgage funding, is limited;

• when real estate affordability is declining;

• when real estate inventory levels are insufficient; and

• when economic conditions are unfavorable, including during periods of high unemployment.

Certain of these circumstances, particularly when combined with declining real estate values and the increase in foreclosures that often results therefrom, also tend to adversely impact the Company’s title claims experience.  Inventory levels for the residential market have been declining over the past several years and are below historical average levels.  Constraints in residential inventory levels, when combined with decreased demand, have had and are likely to continue to have an adverse impact on the number of residential purchase transactions in which the Company’s products and services are purchased.  Residential refinance activity is strongly correlated with changes in mortgage interest rates and rising mortgage rates during 2021 and 2022 had an adverse impact on the Company’s refinance business that is expected to continue for so long as mortgage rates continue to rise or if they subsequently remain high relative to the interest rates of outstanding mortgages.

5.Unfavorable economic conditions adversely affect the Company

Historically, uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets and a general decline in the value of real property, have created a difficult operating environment for the Company.  These conditions also tend to negatively impact the amount of funds the Company receives from third parties to be held in trust pending the closing of commercial and residential real estate transactions.  The Company deposits a substantial portion of these funds, as well as its own funds, with the federal savings bank it owns.  The Company’s bank invests those funds and any realized losses incurred on those investments will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated results.  The likelihood of such losses, which generally would not occur if the Company were to deposit these funds in an unaffiliated entity, increases when economic conditions are unfavorable.  Moreover, during periods of unfavorable economic conditions, the return on these funds deposited at the Company’s bank, as well as funds the Company deposits with third party financial institutions, tends to decline.  In addition, the Company holds investments in entities, such as title agencies, settlement service providers and venture-stage companies, some of which have been negatively impacted by these conditions, as well as other securities in its investment portfolio, which also may be, and recently have been, negatively impacted by these conditions.  

The Company may not be able to accurately predict the effects of periods or expectations of high or rapidly rising inflation rates, and governmental responses thereto, and may not respond in a timely or adequate manner to mitigate the negative effects of such inflation, such as decreases in the demand for the Company’s products and services, higher labor and other expenses, and, as experienced during 2021 due to inflation and supply shortages, higher home warranty claims severity.

42

Depending upon the ultimate severity and duration of any economic downturn and other negative economic conditions, the resulting effects on the Company could be materially adverse, including a significant reduction in revenues, earnings and cash flows, higher claims, challenges to the Company’s ability to satisfy covenants or otherwise meet its obligations under debt facilities and other contracts, difficulties in obtaining access to capital, challenges to the Company’s ability to pay dividends at currently anticipated levels, deterioration in the value of or return on its investments and increased credit risk from customers and others with obligations to the Company.  

6.The Company’s use of models involves risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect the Company

The Company utilizes models to support decisions related to risk management, capital and liquidity planning, financial accounting and other business purposes.  Models are, by their nature, inherently limited due to their reliance on statistical, economic, financial or mathematical theories, techniques, data and assumptions that may be erroneous or inappropriate for the intended or actual use.  Flawed models or uses of models may result in, among other consequences, erroneous or misleading outputs, inappropriate business decisions, inadequate risk management or enhanced regulatory supervision, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

7.Climate change, severe weather conditions, health crises and other catastrophe events could adversely affect the Company

Climate change, global or extensive health crises, severe weather and other catastrophe events and responses to these events could adversely affect the Company.  The extent to which these catastrophe events and responses to them impact the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the catastrophe event and restrictions and responses to it; the impact of the catastrophe event on economic activity and actions taken in response, including the efficacy of governmental and other relief efforts or countermeasures; the effect on participants in real estate transactions and the demand for the Company’s products and services.  

The Company’s home warranty business has been and may be impacted by increases in the frequency of severe weather events.  Home warranty claims, including those pertaining to climate control units, tend to rise as temperatures become extreme, especially in geographies where extreme temperatures are infrequent, and as people spend more time at home, such as during the coronavirus pandemic.  In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Company made changes to the way it conducted business, including by altering certain underwriting practices, production processes, employee working arrangements and employee engagement efforts.  Some of these changes have altered employee, client and other expectations and are expected to alter the way the Company conducts business and engages with its employees over an extended period of time, and, in some cases, permanently.  Certain of these changes could result in increased claims and expose the Company to other risks.  In addition, the Company manages its financial exposure for losses in its title insurance business with third-party reinsurance.  Catastrophe events could adversely affect the cost and availability of that reinsurance.  Moreover, to the extent climate change, health crises, severe weather conditions and other catastrophe events impact companies or municipalities whose securities the Company invests in, the value of its investments may also decrease due to these factors.

The frequency, severity, duration, and geographic location and scope of such health crises, catastrophe and severe weather events are inherently unpredictable, and, therefore, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact climate change, catastrophe events and responses to them will have on its businesses.  The impacts of catastrophe events and responses to them may also exacerbate the risks discussed elsewhere in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report.

8.The Company may find it difficult to acquire necessary data

Certain data used and supplied by the Company are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local regulatory authorities.  Compliance with existing federal, state and local laws and regulations with respect to such data has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations to date.  Nonetheless, federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States designed to protect the public from the misuse of personal information in the marketplace and adverse publicity or potential litigation concerning the commercial use of such information may affect the Company’s operations and could result in substantial regulatory compliance expense, litigation expense and a loss of revenue.  The suppliers of data to the Company face similar burdens.  As a result of these and other factors, the Company may find it financially burdensome to acquire necessary data.

43

9.Changes in the Company’s relationships with large mortgage lenders or government–sponsored enterprises could adversely affect the Company

Large mortgage lenders and government-sponsored enterprises, because of their significant role in the mortgage process, have significant influence over the Company and other service providers.  Changes in the Company’s relationship with any of these lenders or government-sponsored enterprises, the loss of all or a portion of the business the Company derives from these parties, any refusal of these parties to accept the Company’s products and services, the modification of the government-sponsored enterprises’ requirements for title insurance or mortgage servicing in connection with mortgages they purchase or the use of alternatives to the Company’s products and services, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  

10.A downgrade by ratings agencies, reductions in statutory capital and surplus maintained by the Company’s title insurance underwriters or a deterioration in other measures of financial strength could adversely affect the Company

Certain of the Company’s customers use measurements of the financial strength of the Company’s title insurance underwriters, including, among others, ratings provided by ratings agencies and levels of statutory capital and surplus maintained by those underwriters, in determining the amount of a policy they will accept and the amount of reinsurance required.  Each of the major ratings agencies currently rates the Company’s title insurance operations.  The Company’s principal title insurance underwriter’s financial strength ratings are “A2” by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., “A” by Fitch Ratings, Inc., “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and “A” by A.M. Best Company, Inc.  These ratings provide the agencies’ perspectives on the financial strength, operating performance and cash generating ability of those operations.  These agencies continually review these ratings and the ratings are subject to change.  Statutory capital and surplus, or the amount by which statutory assets exceed statutory liabilities, is also a measure of financial strength.  The Company’s principal title insurance underwriter maintained $1.7 billion of total statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2021.  Accordingly, if the ratings or statutory capital and surplus of these title insurance underwriters are reduced from their current levels, or if there is a deterioration in other measures of financial strength, the Company’s results of operations, competitive position and liquidity could be adversely affected.  In addition, a downgrade in the ratings or rankings for the Company’s federal savings bank subsidiary or its mortgage servicing business could have an adverse effect on that particular business.

11.The issuance of the Company’s title insurance policies and related activities by title agents, which operate with substantial independence from the Company, could adversely affect the Company

The Company’s title insurance subsidiaries issue a significant portion of their policies through title agents that usually operate independent of the Company.  There is no guarantee that these title agents will fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company, which contracts include limitations that are designed to limit the Company’s risk with respect to their activities.  In addition, regulators are increasingly seeking to hold the Company responsible for the actions of these title agents and, under certain circumstances, the Company may be held liable directly to third parties for actions (including defalcations) or omissions of these agents.  Case law in certain states also suggests that the Company is liable for the actions or omissions of its agents in those states, regardless of contractual limitations.  As a result, the Company’s use of title agents could result in increased claims on the Company’s policies issued through agents and an increase in other costs and expenses.

12.Systems damage, failures, interruptions, cyberattacks and intrusions, and unauthorized data disclosures by the Company or its service providers may disrupt the Company’s business, harm the Company’s reputation, result in material claims for damages or otherwise adversely affect the Company

The Company uses computer software applications, systems and other technologies (collectively referred to as “systems”), some of which it owns and manages and some of which are owned and/or managed by third parties, including providers of distributed computing infrastructure platforms commonly known as the “cloud.”  The Company and its agents, suppliers, service providers, and customers use systems to receive, process, store and transmit business information, including non-public personal information as well as data from suppliers and other information upon which the Company’s business relies.  The Company also uses these systems to manage substantial cash, investment assets, bank deposits, trust assets and escrow account balances on behalf of itself and its customers, among other activities.  Many of the Company’s products, services and solutions involving the use of real property related data are fully reliant on these systems and are only available electronically.  Accordingly, for a variety of reasons, the integrity of these systems and the protection of the information that resides thereon are critically important to the Company’s successful operation.

44

These systems have been subject to, and are likely to continue to be the target of, computer viruses, cyberattacks, ransomware attacks, phishing attacks and other malicious activity.  These attacks have increased in frequency and sophistication.  The Company’s employees working remotely are more susceptible to social engineering attacks, intrusions and other malicious activity, and this risk has increased given that a substantial number of the Company’s employees are working from home following the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.  These systems also have known and unknown vulnerabilities.  Once identified, the Company’s information technology and information security personnel seek to remediate these vulnerabilities based on the level of risk presented.  For a number of reasons, including the introduction of new vulnerabilities, resource constraints, competing business demands and dependence on third parties, a number of unremediated vulnerabilities will always exist.  Remediation of some vulnerabilities are outside of the control of the Company and third-party remediation efforts may not be timely provided or implemented or otherwise adequate, even when the level of risk is critical or high.  Further, certain other potential causes of system damage or other negative system-related events are wholly or partially beyond the Company’s control, such as natural disasters, vendor failures to satisfy service level requirements and power or telecommunications failures.  These circumstances could expose the Company to system-related damages, failures, interruptions, cyberattacks and other negative events or could otherwise disrupt the Company’s business and could also result in the loss or unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring or destruction of confidential, proprietary and other information pertaining to the Company, its customers, employees, agents or suppliers.  The Company had an information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 involving unauthorized access to non-public personal information as a result of a vulnerability in one of the Company’s applications.  The risk associated with any future incidents, particularly the risk of damage to the Company’s reputation, is heightened as a result of the 2019 incident.

In conducting its business and delivering its products and services, the Company also utilizes service providers.  These service providers and the systems they utilize are typically subject to similar types of system- and information security-related risks that the Company faces.  The Company provides certain of these service providers with data, including nonpublic personal information.  There is no guarantee that the Company’s due diligence or ongoing vendor oversight will be sufficient to ensure the integrity and security of the systems utilized by these service providers or the protection of the information that resides thereon.

Certain laws and contracts the Company has entered into require it to comply with certain information security requirements and to notify various parties, including consumers or customers, in the event of certain actual or potential data breaches or systems failures, including those of the Company’s service providers.  Further, the Company’s financial institution customers have obligations to safeguard their systems and sensitive information and the Company may be bound contractually and/or by regulation to comply with the same requirements.  If the Company or its service providers fail to comply with applicable regulations and contractual requirements, the Company could be exposed to lawsuits, governmental proceedings or the imposition of fines, among other consequences.

Any inability of the Company or its service providers to prevent or adequately respond to the issues described above could disrupt the Company’s business, delay the delivery of its products and services, inhibit its ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, divert management’s time and energy, otherwise harm its reputation and/or result in financial losses, litigation, regulatory inquiries, increased costs or other adverse consequences that could be material to the Company.

13.Errors and fraud involving the transfer of funds may adversely affect the Company

The Company relies on its systems, employees and domestic and international banks to transfer its own funds and the funds of third parties.  In addition to relying on third-party banks to transfer these funds, the Company’s federal savings bank subsidiary transfers funds on behalf of the Company as well as title agents that are not affiliates of the Company.  These transfers are susceptible to user input error, fraud, system interruptions, incorrect processing and similar errors that from time to time result in lost funds or delayed transactions.  The Company’s email and computer systems and systems used by its agents, customers and other parties involved in a transaction have been subject to, and are likely to continue to be the target of, fraudulent attacks, including attempts to cause the Company or its agents to improperly transfer funds.  These attacks have increased in frequency and sophistication.  Funds transferred to a fraudulent recipient are often not recoverable.  In certain instances the Company may be liable for those unrecovered funds.  The controls and procedures used by the Company to prevent transfer errors and fraud may prove inadequate, resulting in financial losses, reputational harm, loss of customers or other adverse consequences which could be material to the Company.

45

14.The Company’s failure to recruit and retain qualified personnel may adversely affect the business.

The Company’s continued success depends, in large part, on its ability to hire and retain qualified people.  Competition for highly qualified people is intense, and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting, training or retaining people to fill vacant or new positions.  Policies adopted during the coronavirus pandemic may allow Company employees to work remotely or in hybrid situations.  Over the long-term, the Company may not successfully adapt to this new work environment in a manner that maintains a healthy and vibrant Company culture or that results in the Company being viewed as an employer of choice.  If the Company is unable to attract and retain qualified people, its business and operations may be impaired or disrupted.  

15.The Company’s use of a global workforce involves risks that could adversely affect the Company

The Company utilizes lower cost labor in countries such as India and the Philippines, among others.  These countries are subject to relatively high degrees of political and social instability and may lack the infrastructure to withstand natural disasters, health crises and other catastrophe events.  Such disruptions could decrease efficiency and increase the Company’s costs, which the Company has experienced during the coronavirus pandemic.  Weakness of the United States dollar in relation to the currencies used in these countries may also reduce the savings achievable through this strategy.  Laws, regulations, business requirements or social or political pressures may require the Company to use labor based in the United States or may otherwise effectively increase the Company’s labor costs abroad.  The Company may not be able to pass on these increased costs to its customers.

16.Acquisitions may have an adverse effect on our business

The Company has in the past acquired, and is expected to acquire in the future, other businesses, including its recent acquisition of Mother Lode Holding Company.  When businesses are acquired, the Company may not be able to integrate or manage these businesses in such a manner as to realize the anticipated synergies or otherwise produce returns that justify the investment.  Acquired businesses, such as the Company’s recent acquisition of ServiceMac, LLC, may subject the Company to increased regulatory or compliance requirements.  The Company’s acquisitions have involved, and are likely to continue to involve, the entry into businesses in which the Company’s management has limited prior experience, making the Company reliant on the management team of the acquired business.  The Company may not be able to successfully retain employees of acquired businesses or integrate them, and could lose customers, suppliers or other partners as a result of the acquisitions.  For these and other reasons, including changes in market conditions, the projections used to value the acquired businesses may prove inaccurate.  In addition, the Company might incur unanticipated liabilities from acquisitions.  These and other factors related to acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.  The Company’s management also will continue to be required to dedicate substantial time and effort to the integration of its acquisitions.  These efforts could divert management’s focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and operational matters.

LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE RISK FACTORS

17.Regulatory oversight and changes in government regulation could require the Company to raise capital, make it more difficult to deploy capital, including dividends to stockholders and repurchases of the Company’s shares, prohibit or limit the Company’s operations, make it more costly or burdensome to conduct such operations, result in decreased demand for the Company’s products and services or otherwise adversely affect the Company

Many of the Company’s businesses, including its title insurance, property and casualty insurance, home warranty, mortgage servicing and subservicing, banking, trust and wealth management businesses, are regulated by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental agencies.  These and other of the Company’s businesses also operate within statutory guidelines, which can include requirements to maintain certain licenses at the federal, state and/or local levels.  The industry in which the Company operates and the markets into which it sells its products are also regulated and subject to statutory guidelines.  In general, in recent years, the Company experienced increasing regulatory oversight and became subject to increasingly complex statutory guidelines.

46

Regulatory oversight could require the Company to raise capital, and/or make it more difficult to deploy capital, including dividends to stockholders and repurchases of the Company’s shares.  For example, regulatory capital requirements for the Company have historically applied only at the subsidiary level, specifically to the Company’s federal savings bank subsidiary and the Company’s insurance underwriter subsidiaries.  However, both the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System have issued proposals for group capital calculations.  These proposals, if finalized and adopted in their current forms, would apply to the Company at the group level and would be in addition to existing subsidiary-level capital requirements.  It is possible that the group capital calculations, particularly in an economic downturn, could have the effect of requiring the Company to raise capital and/or making it more difficult to otherwise deploy capital, including dividends to stockholders and repurchases of the Company’s shares.

An increasing number of federal, state, and international laws and regulations apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer, and other processing of personal data, including, among others, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation.  The effects of these privacy and data protection laws, including the cost of compliance and required changes in the manner in which the Company conducts its business, are not fully known and are potentially significant, and the failure to comply could adversely affect the Company.  The Company has incurred costs to comply with these laws and to respond to inquiries about its compliance with them.

In addition, changes in the applicable regulatory environment, statutory guidelines or interpretations of existing regulations or statutes; reform of government-sponsored enterprises such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac); enhanced governmental oversight or efforts by governmental agencies to cause customers to refrain from using the Company’s products or services could prohibit or limit its future operations or make it more costly or burdensome to conduct such operations or result in decreased demand for the Company’s products and services or a change in its competitive position.  The impact of these changes would be more significant if they involve jurisdictions in which the Company generates a greater portion of its title premiums, such as the states of Arizona, California, Florida, New York, and Texas.  These changes may compel the Company to reduce its prices, may restrict its ability to implement price increases or acquire assets or businesses, may limit the manner in which the Company conducts its business or otherwise may have a negative impact on its ability to generate revenues, earnings and cash flows.

18.Scrutiny of the Company’s businesses and the industries in which it operates by governmental entities and others could adversely affect the Company

The real estate settlement services industry, an industry in which the Company generates a substantial portion of its revenue and earnings, and the mortgage servicing and subservicing industry are subject to continuous scrutiny by regulators, legislators, the media and plaintiffs’ attorneys.  Though often directed at these industries generally, these groups also focus their attention directly on the Company’s businesses from time to time.  In either case, this scrutiny may result in changes which could adversely affect the Company’s operations and, therefore, its financial condition and liquidity.

Governmental entities have routinely inquired into certain practices in the real estate settlement services industry and the mortgage servicing and subservicing industry to determine whether certain of the Company’s businesses or its competitors have violated applicable laws, which include, among others, the insurance codes of the various jurisdictions, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth in Lending Act and similar state, federal and foreign laws.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), for example, has actively utilized its regulatory authority over the mortgage and real estate markets by bringing enforcement actions against various participants in the mortgage and settlement industries and we expect that such enforcement activity will intensify.  Departments of insurance in the various states, the CFPB and other federal regulators and applicable regulators in international jurisdictions, either separately or together, also periodically conduct targeted inquiries into the practices of title insurance companies, other settlement services providers and mortgage servicers in their respective jurisdictions.  Currently, the Company is the subject of regulatory inquiries.

Further, from time to time plaintiffs’ lawyers have targeted, and are expected to continue to target, the Company and other members of the Company’s industry with lawsuits claiming legal violations or other wrongful conduct.  These lawsuits often involve large groups of plaintiffs and claims for substantial damages.  These types of inquiries or proceedings have from time to time resulted, and may in the future result, in findings of a violation of the law or other wrongful conduct and the payment of fines or damages or the imposition of restrictions on the Company’s conduct.  This could impact the Company’s operations and financial condition.  Moreover, these laws and standards of conduct often are ambiguous and, thus, it may be difficult to ensure compliance.  This ambiguity may force the Company to mitigate its risk by settling claims or by ending practices that generate revenues, earnings and cash flows.  Currently the Company is a party to class action lawsuits.

19.Regulation of title insurance rates could adversely affect the Company

Title insurance rates are subject to extensive regulation, which varies from state to state.  In many states the approval of the applicable state insurance regulator is required prior to implementing a rate change.  These regulations could hinder the Company’s ability to promptly adapt to changing market dynamics through price adjustments, which could adversely affect its results of operations, particularly in a rapidly declining market.

FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

20.Failures at financial institutions at which the Company deposits funds could adversely affect the Company

The Company deposits substantial funds in financial institutions.  These funds include amounts owned by third parties, such as escrow deposits, like-kind exchange deposits and investor, mortgagor and subservicer deposits.  Should one or more of the financial institutions at which deposits are maintained fail, there is no guarantee that the Company would recover the funds deposited, whether through Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage or otherwise.  In the event of any such failure, the Company also could be held liable for the funds owned by third parties.

21.Unfavorable economic or other conditions could cause the Company to write off a portion of its goodwill and other intangible assets

The Company performs an impairment test of the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually in the fourth quarter, or sooner if circumstances indicate a possible impairment.  Finite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment tests on a periodic basis.  Factors that may be considered in connection with this review include, without limitation, underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, reductions in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, increased cost of capital and negative macroeconomic, industry and company-specific trends.  These and other factors could lead to a conclusion that goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired, in which case the Company would be required to write off the portion believed to be impaired.  Total goodwill and other intangible assets reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 are $2.0 billion.  Any substantial goodwill and other intangible asset impairments that may be required could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

22.The Company’s investment portfolio is subject to certain risks and could experience losses

The Company maintains a substantial investment portfolio, primarily consisting of fixed income debt securities.  The investment portfolio also includes adjustable-rate debt securities, common and preferred stock, as well as money-market and other short-term investments.  Securities in the Company’s investment portfolio are subject to certain economic and financial market risks, such as credit risk, interest rate (including call, prepayment and extension) risk and/or liquidity risk.  The risk of loss associated with the portfolio is increased during periods of instability in credit markets and economic conditions, such as during the coronavirus pandemic.  Debt and equity securities are carried at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet.  Changes in the fair values of debt securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss on the balance sheet.  For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, where the loss is determined to be due to credit-related factors, the Company records the loss in earnings.  Changes in the fair values of marketable equity securities are recognized in earnings.  Changes in the fair values of securities in the Company’s investment portfolio have had an adverse impact on the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, statutory surplus, financial condition and cash flow.

48

23.The Company’s venture investment portfolio is volatile and subject to certain risks and could experience losses

Investments in non-marketable equity securities reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 totaled $511 million, a substantial majority of which makes up the Company’s venture investment portfolio.  This venture investment portfolio is primarily comprised of investments in the equity of private venture-stage companies that operate in the real-estate industry and related industries (many of which offer technology-enabled products and services), investments in funds that typically invest in these same types of companies, and a similar investment that is trading publicly.  The venture investment portfolio is managed independent of the Company’s portfolio of debt securities and marketable equity securities, which is overseen by the Company’s investment department and an investment committee.  The Company is likely to continue to make similar venture investments.  These positions are concentrated in a limited number of holdings and are high-risk, illiquid investments.  In certain circumstances, such as when one of these companies raises capital, merges with another company or sells itself at a valuation that is less than the valuation at which the Company made its investment or when one of these companies fails and/or liquidates itself, the Company could be required to impair all or part of its investment in that company and the Company has impaired certain venture investments.  The prospects of these companies depend on a number of factors, including the condition of the general economy, the general availability of capital, the performance of and volatility in the public markets, the regulatory and political environments, the condition of the real estate industry, the competitive environment for such companies and the operational and financial performance of such companies.  Even if one of these companies is successful, the Company’s ability to realize the value of its investment may take a significant amount of time and may be dependent on the occurrence of a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or the sale of the company.  Even when a liquidity event occurs, the Company may be subject to restrictions on resale or may choose to continue to hold the investment for strategic or other reasons and, as a result, the Company may not monetize the value of its investment during periods in which it could be financially advantageous to sell the investment.  These investments have caused, and are expected from time to time to cause, material fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly results of operations due to the recognition of gains or losses in connection with observable price changes, such as from liquidity events, subsequent equity sales, or price changes in investments that begin trading publicly, which changes can be volatile.  These impairments and fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Offerpad Solutions Inc., one of the Company’s investments, trades publicly and the fair value of Offerpad’s equity securities recognized in the Company’s earnings has and will fluctuate as Offerpad’s trading price changes.  The Company holds a large position in Offerpad and significant fluctuations in the fair value of Offerpad’s securities have been and could be material to the Company’s earnings in any given quarter.

24.Actual claims experience could materially vary from the expected claims experience reflected in the Company’s reserve for incurred but not reported claims

The Company maintains a reserve for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims pertaining to its title, escrow and other insurance and guarantee products.  The majority of this reserve pertains to title insurance policies, which are long-duration contracts with the majority of the claims reported within the first few years following the issuance of the policy.  Generally, 70% to 80% of claim amounts become known in the first six years of the policy life, and the majority of IBNR reserves relate to the six most recent policy years. Changes in expected ultimate losses and corresponding loss rates for recent policy years are considered likely and could result in a material adjustment to the IBNR reserves.  Based on historical experience, management believes a 50 basis point change to the loss rates for recent policy years, positive or negative, is reasonably likely given the long duration nature of a title insurance policy.  In uncertain economic times, an even larger change is more likely.  As examples, if the expected ultimate losses for each of the last six policy years increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the resulting impact on the Company’s IBNR reserve would be an increase or decrease, as the case may be, of $155 million, and if expected ultimate losses for those same years were to fluctuate by 100 basis points, the resulting impact would be $311 million.  A material change in expected ultimate losses and corresponding loss rates for older policy years is also possible, particularly for policy years with loss ratios exceeding historical norms.  The estimates made by management in determining the appropriate level of IBNR reserves could ultimately prove to be materially different from actual claims experience.

Changes in laws or regulations impacting real estate, particularly when applied retroactively, may cause a material change in expected ultimate losses and corresponding loss rates for recent and/or older policy years.  For example, the 2020 United States Supreme Court decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma calls into question the governing authority for certain real estate-related matters in Native American reservations once thought to have been disestablished.  To the extent the Company, in those areas, underwrote title insurance policies or closed real estate transactions in conformity with authority that ultimately proves inapplicable, expected ultimate losses arising from those policies and transactions could change materially and could result in a material change to loss rates.

49

25.As a holding company, the Company depends on distributions from its subsidiaries, and if distributions from its subsidiaries are materially impaired, the Company’s ability to declare and pay dividends may be adversely affected; in addition, insurance and other regulations limit the amount of dividends, loans and advances available from the Company’s insurance subsidiaries

The Company is a holding company whose primary assets are investments in its operating subsidiaries.  The Company’s ability to pay dividends is dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or repay funds.  If the Company’s operating subsidiaries are not able to pay dividends or repay funds, the Company may not be able to fulfill parent company obligations and/or declare and pay dividends to its stockholders.  Moreover, pursuant to insurance and other regulations under which the Company’s insurance subsidiaries operate, the amount of dividends, loans and advances available is limited.  As of June 30, 2022, under such regulations, the maximum amount available for the remainder of 2022 from these insurance subsidiaries, without prior approval from applicable regulators, was dividends of $474 million and loans and advances of $126 million.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

26.Certain provisions of the Company’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation, as well as regulatory hurdles, may reduce the likelihood of any unsolicited acquisition proposal or potential change of control that the Company’s stockholders might consider favorable

The Company’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation contain provisions that could be considered “anti-takeover” provisions because they make it harder for a third-party to acquire the Company without the consent of the Company’s incumbent board of directors.  Under these provisions:

• election of the Company’s board of directors is staggered such that only one-third of the directors are elected by the stockholders each year and the directors serve three year terms prior to reelection;

• stockholders may not remove directors without cause, change the size of the board of directors or, except as may be provided for in the terms of preferred stock the Company issues in the future, fill vacancies on the board of directors;

• stockholders may act only at stockholder meetings and not by written consent;

• stockholders must comply with advance notice provisions for nominating directors or presenting other proposals at stockholder meetings; and

• the Company’s board of directors may without stockholder approval issue preferred shares and determine their rights and terms, including voting rights, or adopt a stockholder rights plan.

While the Company believes that they are appropriate, these provisions may only be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of approximately 67% of the Company’s issued voting shares.  In addition, federal banking laws and regulations and state insurance laws and regulations require third parties to obtain prior approval to acquire control of the Company due to its status as a savings and loan holding company and an insurance holding company.  These provisions and regulatory requirements could have the effect of discouraging an unsolicited acquisition proposal or delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be considered favorably by the Company’s stockholders.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not issue any unregistered common stock.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

Pursuant to the share repurchase program initially announced by the Company on November 4, 2020 and expanded on August 24, 2021, which program was terminated on June 28, 2022, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $600 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Pursuant to the share repurchase program initially announced by the Company on July 28, 2022, which program has no expiration date and is effective from June 28, 2022, the Company may repurchase up to $400 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  The following table describes purchases by the Company under the share repurchase program that settled during each period set forth in the table.  Prices in column (b) include commissions.  Cumulatively, as of June 28, 2022, the termination date of the previous program, the Company had repurchased $484 million (including commissions) of its shares under the program.  Cumulatively, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had repurchased $8 million (including commissions) of its shares authorized under the June 2022 program announced on July 28, 2022 and had the authority to repurchase an additional $392 million (including commissions) under that program.

Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

This Employment and Non-Competition Agreement (“Agreement”) dated as of May 2, 2022 (“Effective Date”) is made and entered into by and between Marsha A. Spence (“Employee”) and Mother Lode HoldingCompany(“Employer”).  In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.Employment of Employee.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Employer hereby agrees to employ Employee, and Employee hereby agrees to accept employment.  Employee shall devote Employee’s entire employment time, effort and attention to the business of Employer during Employee’s employment.  Employee will use Employee’s best efforts at all times to promote and protect the good name of Employer and Employer’s subsidiaries, parents, affiliates and other related companies (collectively the “Related Companies”) as well as that of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, products and services.  Employee shall not directly or indirectly render any service of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Employer.

2.Duties to Be Performed.  Employee shall perform the duties and have the responsibilities customarily performed and held by a Chairman of the Board.  Employee shall also perform such other duties as directed by Employer’s board of directors, Employee’s supervisor or such supervisor’s successor or designee.

3.Term of Employment.  Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall continue from the Effective Date until the first to occur of (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the termination of Employee’s employment by Employer in accordance with Section 5 below, or (iii) Employee’s death pursuant to Section 5.1 below (such period, the “Term”).  Following the Term, any continued employment of Employee by Employer shall be solely on an at-will basis.  

4.Compensation.  In full payment for Employee’s services, Employer shall provide to Employee compensation and benefits determined in accordance with this Section 4.

4.1Salary.    Employer shall pay Employee a base annual salary of $210,000, less all applicable taxes and withholdings, payable at the times and in the manner dictated by Employer’s standard payroll policies.

4.2Incentive Compensation.  For 2022, Employee shall have a bonus opportunity consistent with Employee’s bonus plan for 2021, up to fifty percent (50%) of which such bonus may be payable in the form of Restricted Stock Units of First American Financial Corporation.  Commencing in 2023, Employee shall be eligible to participate in Employer’s Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) pursuant to a separate grant document to be presented to Employee prior to January 1, 2023.  For illustrative purposes, a template of the current AIP document is attached hereto as Exhibit A. It is the understanding and intent of both parties that the total compensation hereunder (i.e. salary and incentive compensation) will be substantially consistent with the sum of such compensation components that have historically been paid to Employee in

Page 1 of 8

the preceding years after accounting for the profitability and financial metrics of Mother Lode Holding Company.

4.3Benefits. Employee shall, subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable benefits plan documents and applicable law, be entitled to receive all benefits of employment generally available to other similar employees of Employer when and as Employee becomes eligible for them, including medical, dental, life and disability insurance benefits but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any defined benefit pension plan.  Employer reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above benefit plans, policies, and practices at any time without notice to or recourse by Employee, so long as such action is taken generally with respect to other similarly situated employees of Employer and does not single out Employee.

4.4Taxes and Withholdings.  Employer may deduct from all compensation payable to Employee under this Agreement any taxes or withholdings Employer is required to deduct pursuant to state and federal laws or by mutual agreement between the parties.  Employee is solely liable for any and all taxes beyond those specifically withheld by Employer.

5.Termination.

5.1Termination Upon Death.  Employee’s Employment shall automatically terminate with immediate effect upon the death of Employee.

5.2Termination by Employer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, express or implied, Employee’s employment may be terminated immediately by Employer as follows:

(a)Whenever Employer reasonably determines, in Employer’s sole discretion, that Employee is not physically or mentally able or qualified (with reasonable accommodation) to perform the essential functions of Employee’s job;

(b)For “Cause,” which shall be defined as: (i) embezzlement, theft or misappropriation by the Employee of any property of Employer or any of the Related Companies; (ii) Employee’s breach of any fiduciary duty to Employer or any of the Related Companies; (iii) Employee’s failure or refusal to comply with laws or regulations applicable to Employer or any of the Related Companies and its business or the policies of Employer or any of the Related Companies governing the conduct of its employees; (iv) Employee’s gross incompetence in the performance of Employee’s job duties; (v) commission by Employee of a felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation; (vi) the failure of Employee to perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care; (vii) Employee’s failure or refusal to perform Employee’s job duties or to perform specific directives of Employee’s supervisor, Employee’s supervisor’s successor or designee, and/or the Board of Directors of Employer; (viii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Employee resulting in loss to Employer or any of the Related Companies, or damage to the reputation of Employer or any of the Related Companies; or (ix)  the occurrence of any material breach (not covered by any of clauses (i) through (viii)) of any of the provisions of this Agreement by Employee, it being

Page 2 of 8

agreed that for all purposes under this Agreement any violation of any of the provisions of Sections 1,2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9and 10 shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement; or

(c)For any reason other than for Cause (potentially triggering payments to Employee under Section 5.3(a)).

5.3Rights and Obligations Upon Termination.

(a)In the event of Employer’s termination of Employee’s employment other than for reasons outlined in Sections 5.1, 5.2(a), or 5.2(b), Employee shall receive Employee’s base salary as set forth in Section 4.1 which would otherwise have been payable to Employee during the remaining balance of the Term had Employee’s employment not been so terminated, payable at the times and in the manner dictated by Employer’s standard payroll policies.  As a condition of receiving any such continued base salary for which Employee otherwise qualifies under this Section 5.3(a), Employee agrees to execute, deliver and not revoke (within the time period permitted by applicable law) a general release of Employer and the Related Companies, as well as their respective officers, directors, employees and owners, from any and all claims, obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever arising from or in connection with Employee’s employment or termination of employment with Employer or this Agreement (including, without limitation, civil rights claims), in such form as is requested by Employer.  Employee’s right to receive any such continued base salary for which Employee otherwise qualifies under this Section 5.3(a) shall immediately cease in the event that Employee violates any of the provisions of Sections 6, 7 or 8.  Subject to Section 19 below, payments under this Section 5.3(a) shall accrue until the release is irrevocably effective, with accrued amounts paid as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter).

(b)In the event of any termination of Employee’s employment by Employer, then Employer shall be obligated to pay Employee (or, in the case of a termination under Section 5.1, Employee’s heir or successor) the minimum annual base salary earned, PTO accrued hereunder through the date of termination, and all other amounts required under applicable law.  

(c)Apart from the payments set forth in Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b), if applicable, upon termination of Employee’s employment by Employer, Employer shall have no further liability whatsoever to Employee.

6.Covenant Not to Solicit Clients/Customers.  

6.1Definitions.  The following definitions shall apply to this Agreement:

(a)“Company” shall mean (i) Employer and (ii) any and all direct and indirect past, present and future subsidiary, parent, affiliated, or related companies of Employer for which the Employee worked or had responsibility at the time of termination of Employee’s employment and at any time during the two (2) year period prior to such termination.

(b)“Competitive Business” shall mean title, escrow and/or closing services business, patronage, orders or referrals.

Page 3 of 8

(c)“Clients” and/or “Customers” shall mean, without limitation,real estate agencies, real estate agents, lenders, investors, individuals and any other persons or entities who actually or potentially refer title, escrow and closing services business to the Company, in addition to entities or individuals who directly order or purchase services or products from the Company.

(f)“Restricted Clients/Customers” shall include any actual or prospective Clients/Customers with whom, during the two (2) year period prior to the conclusion of Employee’s employment with the Company, (i) the Employee had any business contact on behalf of the Company, (ii) for which the Employee had any responsibility on behalf of the Company (either direct or supervisory), or (iii) with respect to which the Employee learned confidential business information.

6.2Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of Employee’s duties of employment for the Company, Employee will be and/or has been brought into frequent contact with existing and potential Clients/Customers of the Company, and that the Company maintains special relationships with its Clients/Customers.  Employee agrees and understands that, without entering into this Agreement, Employee would not be given any access to the Company’s Clients/Customers (as such access is intended to build the Company’s goodwill with such Clients/Customers, improving and increasing the Company’s business prospects).

6.3While employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year following the date Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit Competitive Business from any Restricted Clients/Customers, or otherwise divert, entice, take away or accept such Competitive Business from any Restricted Clients/Customers.

6.4       For the purposes of Section 6.3, but without limitation thereof, the Employee will be in violation thereof if the Employee engages in any or all of the activities set forth therein directly as an individual on the Employee’s own account, or indirectly as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, salesperson, consultant, officer and/or director of any firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity, or as a stockholder of any corporation in which the Employee or the Employee’s spouse, child or parent owns, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock.

6.5In the event that Employee violates any of the terms of the restrictive covenant obligations set forth in this Section 6, the Restricted Period will be extended by a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have terminated.  This provision in no way limits a court, arbitrator, or jury’s ability to equitably extend the restriction period for any obligation herein which Employee violated.

7.Non-Solicitation of Employees.  

7.1Employee agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit or induce any of the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ then-current employees to cease employment and work for any other employer.

Page 4 of 8

7.2.In the event thatEmployee violates any of the terms of the employee non-solicitation obligations set forth in this Section 7, the period of time of the employee non-solicitation obligations will be extended by a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have terminated.  This provision in no way limits a court, arbitrator, or jury’s ability to equitably extend the restriction period for any obligation herein which Employee violated.

8.Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  

8.1Employee will keep in strict confidence, and will not, directly or indirectly, at any time during or after the Employee’s employment with the Company, disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or, except in the course of performing the Employee’s duties of employment, use any trade secrets or confidential business and technical information of the Company or its Clients, Customers or vendors, without limitation as to when or how the Employee may have acquired such information.  Such confidential information shall include, without limitation, the Company’s unique selling and servicing methods and business techniques, business strategies, financial information, training, service and business manuals, promotional materials, training courses and other training and instructional materials, vendor and product information, lists of Clients/Customers and prospective Clients/Customers, other information about Clients/Customers and prospective Clients/Customers and other business information.   Employee specifically acknowledges that all such confidential information, whether reduced to writing, maintained on any form of electronic media, or maintained in the mind or memory of the Employee and whether compiled by the Company, and/or the Employee, derives independent economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, that reasonable efforts have been made by the Company to maintain the secrecy of such information, that such information is the sole property of the Company and that any retention or use of such information by the Employee during Employee’s employment with the Company (except in the course of performing Employee’s duties and obligations) or after the termination of Employee’s employment shall constitute a misappropriation of the Company’s trade secrets.  This Section is in addition to and does not override the provisions of any Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement which the Employee has entered into with the Company, all of which survive the integration clause set forth in Section 16 below.

8.2Pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee is advised that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made: (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Also pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee is advised that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement (i) limits Employee’s right to communicate or cooperate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission

14.Severability/Modification.  If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable as written, the Parties specifically agree that said covenant, condition or provision shall be modified and enforced to the maximum extent possible, whether said modifications are in time, territory, scope of prohibited activities, or otherwise, and the remainder of the covenants, conditions or provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) dated as of June 29, 2022 is made and entered into by and between Lisa W. Cornehl (“Executive”) and First American Financial Corporation (“Employer”).  In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.Employment of Executive.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment, as Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer.  Executive shall devote Executive’s entire productive time, effort and attention to the business of Employer during the Term (as defined below).  Executive will use her best efforts at all times to promote and protect the good name of Employer and Employer’s current and future subsidiaries, affiliates and other related companies (together with Employer, each a “Related Company” and, collectively the “Related Companies”) as well as that of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, products and services.  Executive shall not directly or indirectly render any service of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Employer.

2.Duties To Be Performed.  Executive shall perform the duties and have the responsibilities customarily performed and held by a person in a position similar to that set forth in Section 1.  Executive shall also perform such other duties as directed by Employer’s Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Employer or his designee.  Any modification made by Employer’s Board of Directors to the duties of Executive shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

3.Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date of this Agreement and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, shall continue through the close of business on December 31, 2024 (the “Term”).  Unless continued on an “at-will” basis by Employer or any other Related Company or pursuant to another agreement, Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

4.Compensation.  In full payment for Executive’s services, Employer shall provide to Executive compensation and benefits determined in accordance with this Section 4.

4.1Salary.  During the Term, Employer shall pay Executive a base annual salary (the “Base Salary”), before deducting all applicable withholdings, of $400,000 per year, payable at the times and in the manner dictated by Employer’s standard payroll policies, which Base Salary may be increased in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer (the “Compensation Committee”) or the Board of Directors of Employer. The Base Salary shall be prorated for any partial pay period that occurs during the Term.

4.2Performance Bonus; Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards.  During the Term, in addition to the Base Salary, Employer may, in the sole and unfettered discretion of

the Compensation Committee, pay to Executivean annual bonus and long-term incentive equity award.

4.3Benefits. Executive shall, subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable benefits plan documents and applicable law, be entitled to receive all benefits of employment generally available to other similarly situated executives of Employer when and as she becomes eligible for them, including medical, dental, life and disability insurance benefits.  Employer reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above benefit plans, policies, and practices at any time without notice to or recourse by Executive, so long as such action is taken generally with respect to other similarly situated executives of Employer and does not single out Executive.

4.4Taxes and Withholdings.  Employer may deduct from all compensation payable under this Agreement to Executive any taxes or withholdings Employer is required to deduct pursuant to state and federal laws or by mutual agreement between the parties.  Executive is solely liable for any and all taxes beyond those specifically withheld by Employer.    

4.5Recoupment.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that to the extent provided by any Employment Arrangement (as defined in Section 20(a) below) or any plan or policy, including any clawback policy, in any case reasonably adopted by the Company from time to time, compensation paid to Executive shall be subject to clawback, forfeiture, recoupment or similar requirement.      

5.Termination.

5.1Termination Upon Death.  The Term (and Executive’s employment) shall automatically terminate with immediate effect upon the death of Executive.

5.2Termination by Employer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, express or implied, the Term (and Executive’s employment) may be terminated immediately by Employer (by delivery of written notice specifying that termination is made pursuant to this Section 5.2) as follows:

(a)Whenever Executive is not physically or mentally able (with reasonable accommodation) to perform the essential functions of Executive’s job;

(b)For “Cause,” which shall be defined as: (i) embezzlement, theft or misappropriation by the Executive of any property of any of the Related Companies; (ii) Executive’s willful breach of any fiduciary duty to Employer; (iii) Executive’s willful failure or refusal to comply with laws or regulations applicable to Employer and its business or the policies of Employer governing the conduct of its employees; (iv) commission by Executive of a felony or of any crime involving moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation; (v) Executive’s refusal to perform Executive’s job duties or to perform reasonable specific directives of Executive’s supervisor or his successor or designee and the Board of Directors of Employer; or (vi) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of

-2-

Executive resulting in a loss to Employer or any other Related Company, or damage to the reputation of Employer or any other Related Company; or

(c) Upon the occurrence of any material breach (not covered by any of clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 5.2(b) above) of any of the provisions of this Agreement, it being agreed that for all purposes under this Agreement any violation of any of the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement.

5.3Termination by Employer without Cause.  Employer may terminate the Term (and Executive’s employment) by giving two weeks written notice to Executive.  A termination made pursuant to this Section 5.3 is a “termination Without Cause.”  A termination made pursuant to Section 5.2 (and satisfying the notice requirement set forth therein) shall under no circumstance be considered a termination Without Cause.

5.4Rights and Obligations Upon Termination.

(a)In the event of Employer’s termination of the Term (and Executive’s employment) pursuant to Section 5.3 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is a termination Without Cause), Employer shall pay Executive:

(i) her Base Salary through the date of termination, paid within 5 days following the termination date (or earlier if required by law);

(ii)any annual bonus earned for any fiscal year completed before the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of termination, paid within 5 days following the termination date (or earlier if required by law); and

(iii) an amount (the “Severance Amount”) equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) her Base Salary and (B) the median of the last three (3) annual bonuses paid to Executive (whether earned pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and whether paid in cash, restricted stock units, stock options or otherwise) (the “Median Bonus”), fifty percent (50%) of which will be paid on the first business day following the 12-month anniversary of the date of termination and fifty percent (50%) of which will be paid in twelve installments equal to 1/24^th of the Severance Amount, the first payment of which will be made on the 29^th day following termination and the remaining eleven payments of which will be made on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter.

For the purpose of determining the Median Bonus, the value of (1) the portion of any annual bonus paid in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) shall be determined by multiplying the number of restricted shares or RSUs granted by the closing price of the restricted shares or stock underlying the RSUs on the grant date and (2) the portion of any annual bonus paid in the form of stock options or other equity (excluding restricted stock or RSUs) shall be determined using the methodology utilized by Employer for determining the cost of such stock option or other equity for financial reporting purposes, but without giving effect to the amortization of such stock option or other equity.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Median Bonus

-3-

shall not include any long-term incentive equity awards which would not be included in “Covered Compensation” under the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (including any amendment, modification or successor thereto, the “SERP”). For the avoidance of doubt, “median” means, with respect to a set of three amounts, the middle amount and not the highest or the lowest amount, unless two of the amounts in the set are the same amount, in which case “median” means the amount which occurs twice in the set.

In exchange for Employer’s agreement to pay the Severance Amount and as a condition thereto, Executive agrees to execute (within 21 days following the date of termination of employment), deliver and not revoke (within the time period permitted by applicable law) a general release of the Related Companies and their respective officers, directors, employees and owners from any and all claims, obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever, including all such claims arising from or in connection with Executive’s employment or termination of employment with Employer or this Agreement (including, without limitation, civil rights claims), in such form as is reasonably requested by Employer.  Executive’s right to receive the Severance Amount is conditioned upon the release described in the preceding sentence becoming irrevocable within the prescribed time period.  In addition, Executive’s right to receive the Severance Amount shall immediately cease in the event that Executive violates any of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8.  Apart from the payments set forth in this Section 5.4(a) and the benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the Employment Arrangements (as defined below), upon such termination Employer shall have no further liability whatsoever to Executive.  

(b)In the event of the termination of the Term (and Executive’s employment) pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2 or, if Executive’s employment does not continue on an at-will basis or pursuant to another agreement, upon the expiration of the Term, Employer shall be obligated to pay Executive (or, in the case of a termination under Section 5.1, Executive’s heir or successor) the Base Salary through the date of termination and any annual bonus earned for any fiscal year completed before the date of termination, in each case, that remains unpaid as of the date of termination.  Apart from the payments set forth in this Section 5.4(b) and the benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the Employment Arrangements, upon such termination or expiration, as the case may be, Employer shall have no further liability whatsoever to Executive.

(c)If (i) Executive’s employment is terminated Without Cause by Employer prior to the expiration of the Term, (ii) as of the date of such termination Executive has not yet reached her “Early Retirement Date”, as defined in the SERP and (iii) Executive would have reached her “Early Retirement Date” during the Term had her employment not been earlier terminated, Executive will be deemed to be vested in the SERP on the date she would have reached her “Early Retirement Date” and she will begin receiving payments under the SERP on such date as otherwise provided in, and otherwise subject to the provisions of, the SERP; provided, however, that in such circumstance Executive’s “Final Average Compensation” (or equivalent) for purposes of the SERP shall be determined as of the date of the termination of her employment.

(d)If it becomes known that Executive’s employment will terminate for any reason, Employer may, in its sole discretion and subject to its other obligations under this

-4-

Agreement, relieve Executive of her duties under this Agreement and assign Executive other reasonable duties and responsibilities to be performed until the termination becomes effective.

(e)In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive under this Agreement and all other arrangements or programs, including any acceleration of vesting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred compensation, or long-term incentive awards (collectively, the “Payments”), would constitute an excess parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as determined in good faith by Employer’s independent auditors, then the portion of the Payments that would be treated as parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code shall be reduced so that the Payments, in the aggregate, are reduced to the Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below).  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Safe Harbor Amount” means the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no portion of the Payments being considered parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code.  In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.  In addition, with regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, all such payments shall be made on or before the last day of calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense occurred.

(f)A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”  If Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit (whether under this Agreement or otherwise) that is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code payable on account of a “separation from service,” and that is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code as involuntary separation pay or a short-term deferral (or otherwise), such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 5.4(f) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum without interest, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment amount or benefit due under this Agreement will be considered a separate payment and Executive’s entitlement to a series of payments or benefits under this Agreement is to be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments.

(g)Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive hereby resigns from any and all (i) positions with all Related Companies, whether as a

-5-

director, manager, general partner, officer or otherwise; (ii) committee memberships, fiduciary capacities or similar positions with respect to employee benefit plans sponsored by any Related Company, and (iii) any other positions associated with any Related Company.

6.Restrictive Covenants

6.1 Access to Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the performance of Executive’s duties of employment Executive will be brought into frequent contact with existing and potential customers of Employer and the other Related Companies throughout the world.  Executive also agrees that trade secrets and confidential information of Employer and the other Related Companies gained by Executive during Executive’s association with Employer and the other Related Companies have been developed by Employer and the other Related Companies through substantial expenditures of time, effort and money and constitute valuable and unique property of Employer and the other Related Companies, and Employer and/or the Related Companies will suffer substantial damage and irreparable harm which will be difficult to compute if, during the Term and thereafter, Executive should disclose or improperly use such confidential information and trade secrets in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.  Executive further understands and agrees that the foregoing makes it necessary for the protection of the businesses of Employer and the other Related Companies that Executive not compete with Employer or any other Related Company during his or her employment, as further provided in this Section 6.

6.2 Non-Compete and Non-Solicit.  While employed by Employer or any other Related Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, engage in or render any service of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other person, entity or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, that is in competition with Employer or any other Related Company anywhere in the world.  In accordance with this restriction, but without limiting its terms, Executive will not:

(a)enter into or engage in any business which competes with the business of Employer or any other Related Company;

(b)solicit customers, business, patronage or orders for, or sell, any products or services in competition with, or for any business that competes with, the business of Employer or any other Related Company;

(c)divert, entice, or take away any customers, business, patronage or orders of Employer or any other Related Company or attempt to do so; or

(d)promote or assist, financially or otherwise, any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity engaged in any business which competes with the business of Employer or any other Related Company.

6.3Scope of Restricted Activities.  For the purposes of Section 6.2, but without limitation thereof, Executive will be in violation thereof if Executive engages in any or all of the activities set forth therein directly as an individual on Executive’s own account, or indirectly as a stockholder, partner, joint venturer, executive, agent, salesperson, consultant,

-6-

officer and/or director of, or by virtue of the ownership byExecutive’s spouse, child or parent of any equity interest in, any firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entityengaging in any or all of such activities; provided, however, Executive’sor Executive’s spouse’s, child’s or parent’sownership of less than one percent (1%) of the issued equity interest in any publicly traded corporation shall not alone constitute a violation of this Agreement.

6.4Scope of Covenants.  Employer and Executive acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of Sections 6 and 7 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and agree that they consider the restrictions and covenants contained in such Sections to be reasonable and necessary for the protection of the interests of the Related Companies, but if any such restriction or covenant shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void but would be valid if deleted in part or reduced in application, such restriction or covenant shall apply with such deletion or modification as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable.  The restrictions and covenants contained in each provision of such Sections shall be construed as separate and individual restrictions and covenants and shall each be capable of being severed without prejudice to the other restrictions and covenants or to the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

7.No Solicitation of Employees.  Executive will not directly or indirectly, at any time during the Term and the 12-month period after termination of Executive’s employment, either for Executive or for any other person or entity, recruit or solicit for hire any employee, officer, director or other personnel of the Employer or any of the Related Companies, or to induce or encourage such a person or entity to terminate his, her or its relationship, or breach an agreement, with the Employer or one of the Related Companies.

8.Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  Executive will keep in strict confidence, and will not, directly or indirectly, at any time during or after Executive’s employment with Employer, disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available or, except in the course of performing Executive’s duties of employment, use any trade secrets or confidential business and technical information of Employer, any other Related Company or any of its respective customers or vendors, without limitation as to when or how Executive may have acquired such information.  Such confidential information shall include, without limitation, Employer’s and any other Related Company’s unique selling and servicing methods and business techniques, business strategies, financial information, training, service and business manuals, promotional materials, training courses and other training and instructional materials, vendor and product information, customer and prospective customer lists, other customer and prospective customer information, processes, inventions, patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property and intangible rights, and other business information.  Executive specifically acknowledges that all such confidential information, whether reduced to writing, maintained on any form of electronic media, or maintained in the mind or memory of Executive and whether compiled by Employer, any other Related Company and/or Executive, derives independent economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, that reasonable efforts have been made by Employer or another Related Company, as the case may be, to maintain the secrecy of such information, that such information is the sole property of Employer or another Related Company and that any retention and use of such information or rights by Executive during her employment with Employer (except in the course of performing her duties and

-7-

obligations hereunder) or after the termination of heremployment shall constitute a misappropriation of Employer’s or another Related Company’strade secrets, rights or other property.Nothing in this Paragraph or Agreement is meant to override or invalidate other active agreements between Employee and the Company, including, but not limited to, any Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement, restrictive covenants (e.g., non-competition and/or non-solicitation agreements), and arbitration agreements.  

9.Legally Authorized Disclosures. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive is advised that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made: (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Also pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive is advised that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement (i) limits Executive’s right to communicate or cooperate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”) or (ii) bars Executive from responding to an order, regulation, rule or subpoena of a court or Government Agency.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.  The principles for condensed interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the First American Financial Corporation (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance intended to increase the comparability of financial information across reporting entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual restrictions preventing the sale of those securities.  The updated guidance clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, as a result, should not be considered in measuring fair value.  In addition, new disclosures are required about the nature of the restrictions and their remaining duration.  The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Trust Assets, Escrow and Other Deposits

Note 2 –Trust Assets, Escrow and Other Deposits

The Company administers escrow deposits and trust assets as a service to its direct customers.  Escrow deposits totaled $14.0 billion and $10.8 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which $5.8 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, were held at First American Trust, FSB (“FA Trust”).  The escrow deposits held at FA Trust are temporarily invested in cash and cash equivalents and debt securities, with offsetting liabilities included in deposits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The remaining escrow deposits were held at third-party financial institutions.

Trust assets held or managed by FA Trust totaled $4.1 billion and $4.6 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Escrow deposits held at third-party financial institutions and trust assets are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.

In conducting its operations, the Company often holds customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions and, as a result, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits with various financial institutions.  The results from these programs are included as income or a reduction in expense, as appropriate, in the consolidated statements of income based on the nature of the arrangement and benefit received.

The Company facilitates tax-deferred property exchanges for customers pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and tax-deferred reverse exchanges pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2000-37.  As a facilitator and intermediary, the Company holds the proceeds from sales transactions and takes temporary title to property identified by the customer to be acquired with such proceeds.  Upon the completion of each such exchange, the identified property is transferred to the customer or, if the exchange does not take place, an amount equal to the sales proceeds or, in the case of a reverse exchange, title to the property held by the Company is transferred to the customer.  Like-kind exchange funds administered by the Company totaled $5.2 billion and $6.0 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  The like-kind exchange deposits are held at third-party financial institutions and, due to the structure utilized to facilitate these transactions, the proceeds and property are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable to the customer for the transfers of property, disbursements of proceeds and the returns on such proceeds.

In conducting its residential mortgage loan servicing, subservicing, originations and sales operations, the Company administers cash deposits on behalf of investors, mortgagors and subservicing clients.  Cash deposits, which are held at third-party financial institutions, totaled $865 million and $433 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  These cash deposits are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  All such amounts are placed in deposit accounts insured, up to applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.  In connection with certain accounts, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits with various financial institutions whereby it earns economic benefits either as income or as a reduction in expense.

Based on the Company’s review of its debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, it determined that the losses were due to non-credit factors.  As such, the Company does not consider these securities to be credit impaired at June 30, 2022.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell any debt securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

In determining credit losses on its debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company considers certain factors which may include, among others, severity of the unrealized loss, security type, industry sector, credit rating, profitability and stock performance.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates (income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes) were 22.1% and 23.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 24.0% and 23.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.  The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate as a result of state and foreign income taxes for which the Company is liable, as well as permanent differences between amounts reported for financial statement purposes and amounts reported for income tax purposes, including the recognition of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies associated with share-based payment transactions through income tax expense.  The effective income tax rate for 2021 also reflected benefits related to foreign tax law changes.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and makes adjustments to the allowance as necessary.  The factors used in assessing the likelihood of realization include forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented.  The Company’s ability or inability to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of its deferred tax assets.  Based on future operating results in certain jurisdictions, it is possible that the current valuation allowance positions of those jurisdictions could be adjusted during the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $8 million.  The liability as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 could be reduced by $3 million due to offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential adjustments, including timing adjustments, and state income taxes.  The net liability, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  Accrued interest and penalties, net of tax benefits, related to uncertain tax positions were not material as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

It is reasonably possible that the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions may increase or decrease within the next 12 months.  Any such change may be the result of either ongoing audits or the expiration of federal and state statutes of limitations for the assessment of taxes.

The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and various non-U.S. jurisdictions.  The primary non-federal jurisdictions are California, Canada, India and the United Kingdom.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to 2018, 2016, and 2014, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).  The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available.  The hierarchy level assigned to the assets and liabilities is based on management’s assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values at the measurement date.  The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement and involve management judgment.

If the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the hierarchy level assigned is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables present the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities, measured on a recurring basis, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies

Note 16 – Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of lawsuits and are also involved in numerous ongoing routine legal and regulatory proceedings related to their operations.  These lawsuits and proceedings frequently are similar in nature to other lawsuits and proceedings pending against the Company’s competitors.  When the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts has been recorded.  Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded.  

With respect to the Company’s outstanding ordinary course lawsuits and proceedings, the Company has determined either that a loss is not reasonably possible or that the estimated loss or range of loss, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Our ordinary course lawsuits include putative or purported class action lawsuits, which challenge practices in the Company’s title insurance and services and home warranty businesses.  

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are also parties to consumer class actions in connection with the information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019.  All of these lawsuits are putative class actions for which a class has not been certified.  Due to the complexity and uncertainty involved with these class action lawsuits, including the requirements for the certification of a class, the Company has not yet been able to assess the probability of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of loss of these lawsuits.  While these lawsuits could be material to the Company’s financial results in any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, the Company does not believe that any of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, the Company and certain members of its board of directors and certain executives were parties to a shareholder derivative action, Hollett v. Gilmore, et al., filed on November 25, 2020 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.  The allegations arose out of the information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 and the resulting legal proceedings and disclosures made at the time of the incident.  The action was dismissed on June 7, 2022.

The Company’s title insurance, property and casualty insurance, home warranty, mortgage servicing and subservicing, banking, thrift, trust and wealth management businesses are regulated by various federal, state and local governmental agencies.  Many of the Company’s other businesses operate within statutory guidelines.  Consequently, the Company may from time to time be subject to examination or investigation by such governmental agencies.  Currently, governmental agencies are examining or investigating certain of the Company’s operations.  Exams and investigations by governmental agencies include an investigation initiated in connection with the information security incident that occurred during the second quarter of 2019 by the New York Department of Financial Services.  The New York Department of Financial Services has alleged violations of its cyber security requirements for financial services companies and filed a statement of charges on July 22, 2020, as amended on March 10, 2021, and the previously scheduled administrative hearing has been postponed and not rescheduled.  While the ultimate disposition of the New York Department of Financial Services matter is not yet determinable, the Company does not believe that it or any of the other pending examinations or investigations will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Some of these exams or investigations could, however, result in changes to the Company’s business practices which could ultimately have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 18 – Segment Information

The Company consists of the following reportable segments:

• The Company’s title insurance and services segment issues title insurance policies on residential and commercial property in the United States and offers similar or related products and services internationally.  This segment also provides closing and/or escrow services; accommodates tax-deferred exchanges of real estate; provides products, services and solutions designed to mitigate risk or otherwise facilitate real estate transactions; maintains, manages and provides access to title plant data and records; provides appraisals and other valuation-related products and services; provides lien release, document custodial and default-related products and services; provides warehouse lending services; subservices mortgage loans; and provides banking, trust and wealth management services.  The Company, through its principal title insurance subsidiary and such subsidiary’s affiliates, transacts its title insurance business through a network of direct operations and agents.  Through this network, the Company issues policies in the 49 states that permit the issuance of title insurance policies, the District of Columbia and certain United States territories.  The Company also offers title insurance, closing services and similar or related products and services, either directly or through third parties in other countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea and various other established and emerging markets.

• The Company’s specialty insurance segment sells home warranty products including residential service contracts that cover residential systems, such as heating and air conditioning systems, and certain appliances against failures that occur as the result of normal usage during the coverage period.  This business currently operates in 35 states and the District of Columbia.  

The Company is continuing its wind-down of the property and casualty insurance business through the transfer and non-renewal of policies and expects the transfers to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022.

• The Company’s corporate segment, which was expanded in 2021 to include its investments in venture-stage companies, also includes certain financing facilities and corporate services that support the Company’s business operations.  In connection with the expansion, the Company reclassified $44 million and $86 million in net investment gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, previously reported in the title insurance and services segment to the corporate segment.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.  The principles for condensed interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the First American Financial Corporation (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance intended to increase the comparability of financial information across reporting entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual restrictions preventing the sale of those securities.  The updated guidance clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, as a result, should not be considered in measuring fair value.  In addition, new disclosures are required about the nature of the restrictions and their remaining duration.  The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
