4 THE FIRST AMERICAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES ------------------------ Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ---------------------------------------------------- (Unaudited) Note 1 - Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------------------------- The condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices reflected on the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report filed with the Commission for the preceding calendar year. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods. Certain 1994 interim amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 interim presentation. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. Note 2 - Acquisitions - ---------------------- On January 3, 1995, the Company completed the acquisitions of Credco, Inc., a national mortgage credit reporting company and Flood Data Services, Inc. ("FDSI"), a nationwide flood certification firm, for a combined purchase price of $32 million in cash and notes. These acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price of each has been allocated to their respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price of $5.7 million over the estimated fair value of the net assets of Credco, Inc. has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over a 40-year period. The primary asset of FDSI is an index of maps and other records with a fair value of $21.1 million which provides information as to whether or not a property is in a governmentally delineated Special Flood Hazard Area. Since this properly maintained index has an indefinite life and will not diminish in value with the passage of time, no provision will be made for depreciation. Accordingly, this index has been included with title plants in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 1995. 5 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ----------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - ------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended March 31: OVERVIEW Beginning in the second quarter of 1994, increased mortgage interest rates caused a downward trend in new order counts and closings as refinance transactions came to a virtual halt. Due to seasonal considerations, this condition intensified at yearend 1994 resulting in a low inventory of new orders going into the first quarter of 1995. As a result, operating revenues for the quarter decreased 30.5% when compared with the record first quarter of 1994. In response to the adverse market conditions, the Company began to consolidate operating units and match staffing levels to the reduced order volumes. This resulted in staff reductions of 22.0% from April 1994 through February 1995. However, these cost reductions were not commensurate with the unprecedented revenue declines resulting in a first quarter net loss of $12.7 million, or $1.11 per share. As interest rates stabilized in late February, coupled with the emergence of spring, new orders have intensified in the resale and new home sale sector of the business. OPERATING REVENUES Set forth below is a summary of operating revenues for each of the Company's segments.
Three Months Ended March 31 ---------------------------------- ($000) 1995 % 1994 % -------- ---- -------- ---- Title Insurance: Direct operations $104,291 41 $153,258 42 Agency operations 115,026 45 178,811 48 -------- --- -------- --- 219,317 86 332,069 90 Real Estate Information 26,105 10 27,463 7 Home Warranty 7,389 3 6,135 2 Trust and Banking 3,477 1 2,937 1 -------- --- -------- --- Total $256,288 100 $368,604 100 ======== === ======== ===
TITLE INSURANCE. Operating revenues from direct operations decreased 32.0% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 36.4% reduction in the number of title orders closed by the Company's direct operations, offset in part by an increase in the average revenue per order closed. The Company's direct operations closed 135,300 title orders during the current quarter, as compared with the 212,800 title orders closed during the same period of the prior year. The average revenues per order closed were $771 for the current quarter, as compared with $720 for the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to a lower than usual average revenues per order closed in the prior year due to the numerous refinance closings. Operating revenues from agency operations decreased 35.7% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the same factors affecting direct operations mentioned above. REAL ESTATE INFORMATION. Real estate information operating revenues decreased 4.9% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the same factors affecting title insurance mentioned above, offset in part by $9.6 million of operating revenues contributed by new acquisitions. 6 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations (continued) - ---------------------- HOME WARRANTY. Home warranty operating revenues increased 20.4% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to improvements in certain of the residential resale markets in which this business segment operates as well as successful geographic expansion. INVESTMENT AND OTHER INCOME Investment and other income increased $1.0 million, or 27.0% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to a 7.8% increase in the average investment portfolio balance, a 0.7% increase in yields and $0.4 million of capital losses incurred in the first quarter 1994. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES TITLE INSURANCE. Salaries and other personnel costs ("personnel expenses") were $81.8 million, a decrease of 15.6% when compared with personnel expenses of $96.9 million for the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to personnel reductions that commenced during the beginning of the second quarter 1994 in order to match staffing levels to reduced order volumes. Agents retained $93.4 million, or 81.2%, and $145.9 million, or 81.6%, of the title premiums generated by agency operations for the first quarter 1995 and 1994, respectively. The percentage of title premiums retained by agents varies from region to region; accordingly, the geographical mix of revenues from agency operations accounts for the slight variation in the percentage amount of title premiums retained by agents. Other operating expenses were $43.0 million, a decrease of 8.9% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in incremental costs associated with processing orders due to the reduction in business activity, partially offset by general price level increases as well as acquisition activity. The provision for title losses as a percentage of title insurance operating revenues was 7.6% for the current quarter and 7.8% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the current quarter was primarily due to an improvement in the Company's loss experience. REAL ESTATE INFORMATION. Real estate information personnel and other operating expenses were $26.0 million, an increase of 53.8% when compared with the $16.9 million for the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to $9.0 million of personnel and other operating expenses attributable to acquisitions as well as general price level increases, offset in part by personnel reductions and cost containment programs. HOME WARRANTY. Home warranty personnel and other operating expenses were $2.5 million, an increase of 13.6% when compared with the $2.2 million for the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to costs incurred servicing the increase in business volume. The provision for home warranty losses expressed as a percentage of home warranty operating revenues was 54.2% and 51.6% for the first quarter 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increased loss ratio was primarily attributable to an increase in the average number of claims per contract. 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations (continued) - ---------------------- PRETAX PROFITS (LOSSES) Set forth below is a summary of pretax profits (losses) for each of the Company's segments.
Three Months Ended March 31 ------------------------------- ($000) 1995 % 1994 % --------- ---- -------- ---- Title Insurance $(14,561) 108 $14,392 55 Real Estate Information (1,380) 10 9,568 37 Home Warranty 1,528 (11) 1,399 5 Trust and Banking 932 (7) 677 3 -------- --- ------- --- Total before corporate (13,481) 100 26,036 100 === === Corporate (5,207) (5,213) -------- ------- Total $(18,688) $20,823 ======== =======
In general, the title insurance business is a lower profit margin business when compared to the Company's other segments. The lower profit margins reflect the high cost of producing title evidence whereas the corresponding revenues are subject to regulatory and competitive pricing restraints. Due to this relatively high proportion of fixed costs, title insurance profit margins generally improve as closed order volumes increase. In addition, title insurance profit margins are affected by the composition (residential or commercial) and type (resale, refinancing or new construction) of real estate activity. Profit margins from resale and new construction transactions are generally higher than from refinancing transactions, and profit margins from commercial transactions are generally higher than from residential transactions. Title insurance profit margins are also affected by the percentage of operating revenues generated by agency operations. Profit 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. PREMIUM TAXES Premium taxes were $2.8 million, a decrease of 34.9% when compared with the $4.3 million for the same period of the prior year. This decrease corresponds to the relative decrease in title insurance premium revenues. Premium taxes as a percentage of title insurance operating revenues remained constant at 1.3%. INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate was 40.9% for the current quarter and 43.0% for the first quarter 1994. The decrease in effective rate was primarily attributable to a decrease in state income taxes resulting from the Company's non-insurance subsidiaries' decrease in contribution to pretax profit. NET INCOME Net loss for the first quarter 1995 was $12.7 million, or $1.11 per share, compared with net income for the first quarter 1994 of $9.4 million, or $.82 per share. 8 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations (continued) - ---------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $51.3 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in the current period was primarily attributable to cash used for operating activities and the net cash effect of company acquisitions. On January 3, 1995, the Company acquired Credco, Inc., a national mortgage credit reporting company, and Flood Data Services, Inc., a nationwide flood certification firm, for a combined purchase price of $31.5 million in cash and $0.5 million in notes. The decrease in the prior year period was primarily due to capital expenditures, an increase in loans receivable and the repayment of debt, offset in part by cash provided by operating activities. Notes and contracts payable as a percentage of total capitalization increased to 23.1% at March 31, 1995, from 22.1% at December 31, 1994. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in equity caused by the net loss for the current period. Management believes that all of its anticipated cash requirements for the immediate future will be met from internally generated funds. 9 Part II: Other Information ----------------- Item 4.
