Investors Title Company Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 3, 2014--Investors Title Company today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Net income attributable to the Company decreased 53.0% to $2,594,490, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared with $5,515,798, or $2.66 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter.

Revenues decreased 12.2% to $29,508,230 versus the prior year quarter, primarily due to a 13.4% decrease in net premiums written. Higher mortgage interest rates led to lower levels of refinance activity, while purchase activity remained relatively constant with last year.

Operating expenses increased 2.3% to $25,909,740 versus the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of a higher level of claims expense, following a reduction in the reserves for claims in the prior year period. The prior period reduction reflected a change in estimate related to certain actuarial assumptions stemming from improved claims experience in recent post-recession policy years. The increase in the claims provision was partially offset by a decrease in agent commissions resulting from decreased activity in markets which are predominantly agent-based, and a decrease in incentive compensation and certain employee benefits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income attributable to the Company decreased 46.1% to $6,954,526, or $3.41 per diluted share, compared with $12,898,203, or $6.19 per diluted share, for the prior year period, primarily due to changes in the provision for claims. Revenues decreased 3.1% to $91,183,857 versus the prior year period, primarily due to a 4.3% decrease in net premiums written. Premiums related to refinance activity were down substantially for the first three quarters of the year, while purchase-related premiums were up slightly. Operating expenses increased 8.4% to $81,549,808 versus the prior year period, driven mostly by an increase in the claims provision primarily related to the prior year change in estimate.

Chairman J. Allen Fine added, “As expected, the drop in refinance activity that began last year has continued in 2014, and led to a reduction in premium volumes for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. We are, however, pleased with the overall strength in home purchase activity, as well as sustained increases in the level of home prices. Although unusual adjustments to the claims reserve in the prior year led to an unfavorable comparison, we remain encouraged by the general long-term trend of claims activity. We will continue to monitor and respond to changes in the market, while remaining focused on enhancing our long-term competitive strengths.”
