Term/Calculation | Definition |
Annual Salary | This is the annual salary as defined herein. |
Average Shares Outstanding | Average Shares Outstanding is the number of shares at the end of the Baseline Period, plus the shares at the end of the Performance Period, divided by two. |
Baseline Period | Baseline Period is the 12-month period ending immediately preceding the Performance Period. For example, a Performance Period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019 would have a baseline period of 12 months ending December 31, 2016. |
Book Value per Share | Book Value is calculated as assets less total liabilities as reported in the Company 10K, divided by Average Shares Outstanding. |
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) | CAGR is the annual growth rate, taking into account the Performance Period and effects of compounded growth. The formula used to determine CAGR is as follows: CAGR = (Value at end of Performance Period / Value at end of Baseline Period)^1/years in Performance Period - 1. For example, for a Performance Period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019, the basis for the CAGR calculation would be as follows: CAGR = (Value at December 31, 2016 / Value at December 31, 2019)^1/3-1 |
Company | The Company is Stewart Information Services Corporation and its subsidiaries. |
Cumulative Dividends Per Share | Cumulative Dividends Per Share is the aggregate cash dividend paid during the Performance Period as reported in the 10K. |
Maximum Performance Level | The level of performance that results in Maximum Payout for a metric. |
Maximum Payout | The Maximum Payout is the maximum number of shares that can be earned under the LTI Plan for each performance metric. It is calculated by multiplying the Target number of shares by an agreed upon percentage as indicated in Executive’s LTI Plan Summary. |
Performance Period | Performance Period is a three-year period beginning on January 1 of the initial award year and ending December 31 three years later. For example, the Performance Period for 2017-initiated awards is January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. |
Performance Share Award (PSA) | Performance Share Award is share-based compensation that vests based on defined measures, which include Company performance and time-based measures. |
Restricted Stock Award (RSA) | Restricted Stock Award is share-based compensation that is restricted by time of service. |
System of Record | Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) is the system of record for all financial data unless otherwise stated. |
Target Performance Level | The expected level of performance, which results in a payout of 100% of Target number of shares. |
Threshold Performance Level | The level of performance for a metric below which no shares will vest. |
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) | Total Shareholder Return is calculated by taking the difference between the Company’s end of year price per share and the beginning of year price per share and adding the Company dividend per share. Next, divide that sum by the Company’s beginning of year price per share. |
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Ranking | Total Shareholder Return Ranking is determined by calculating the Company’s percentile ranking for Total Shareholder Return relative to the Comparative Group. |
Grant date | September 1, 2017 |
Target estimated grant date value of total LTI grant: | $600,000 |
Closing stock price on August 31, 2017 | $36.08 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Interim financial statements | Interim financial statements. The financial information contained in this report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and as of September 30, 2017, is unaudited. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. A. Management’s responsibility. The accompanying interim financial statements were prepared by management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including management’s best judgments and estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this information for all interim periods, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, have been made. The Company’s results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and actual results could differ. B. Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries in which the Company owns more than 50% voting rights in electing directors. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated and provisions have been made for noncontrolling interests. Unconsolidated investees, in which the Company typically owns 20% through 50% of the equity, are accounted for by the equity method. C. Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the 2016 interim financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes. Net income attributable to Stewart, as previously reported, was not affected. D. Restrictions on cash and investments. The Company maintains investments in accordance with certain statutory requirements for the funding of statutory premium reserves. Statutory reserve funds, which approximated $475.4 million and $485.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are required to be fully funded and invested in high-quality securities and short-term investments. Statutory reserve funds are not available for current claim payments, which must be funded from current operating cash flow. In addition, included within cash and cash equivalents are statutory reserve funds of approximately $26.9 million and $13.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Although these cash statutory reserve funds are not restricted or segregated in depository accounts, they are required to be held pursuant to state statutes. If the Company fails to maintain minimum investments or cash and cash equivalents sufficient to meet statutory requirements, the Company may be subject to fines or other penalties, including potential revocation of its business license. These funds are not available for any other purpose. In the event that insurance regulators adjust the determination of the statutory premium reserves of the Company’s title insurers, these restricted funds as well as statutory surplus would correspondingly increase or decrease. E. Recent accounting pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which eliminated the transaction-specific and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth the steps to be followed to recognize revenue: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 will be effective on annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect method of adoption. Management is in the process of documenting and completing its analysis of the impact of the new revenue guidance, specifically its evaluation of certain fee arrangement contracts. Based on management's preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that ASU 2014-09, other than certain additional footnote disclosures, will not have a material impact on our accounting or reporting for revenue streams related to direct and agency title insurance premiums, escrow and other title-related fees, and investment income. These revenue streams account for approximately 94% of the Company's total revenues. The Company expects to complete its evaluation and documentation of the impact of the new revenue standard during the fourth quarter 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which updated the current guidance related to leases. The new guidance includes the requirement for the lessee to recognize in the balance sheet a liability equal to the present value of contractual lease payments with terms of more than twelve months and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Disclosures will be required by lessees to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is allowed. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and recognize and measure leases in the financial statements at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in material increases in the assets and liabilities reported on its consolidated balance sheets. As disclosed in Note 16 of the Company's 2016 Form 10-K, the undiscounted future minimum lease payments with terms of more than twelve months were approximately $168.2 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company expects the new ASU will likely have an insignificant impact on its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating certain lease management and accounting systems and plans to begin system implementation and testing on or before the first quarter 2018. |

Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic (Topic 820) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal, or most advantageous, market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs when possible. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
As of September 30, 2017, financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
As of December 31, 2016, financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
As of September 30, 2017, Level 1 financial instruments consist of equity securities. Level 2 financial instruments consist of municipal, governmental and corporate bonds, both U.S. and foreign. In accordance with the Company’s policies and guidelines which incorporate relevant statutory requirements, the Company’s third-party registered investment manager invests only in securities rated as investment grade or higher by the major rating services, where observable valuation inputs are significant. All municipal, foreign, and U.S. Treasury bonds are valued using a third-party pricing service, and the corporate bonds are valued using the market approach, which includes three to ten inputs from relevant market sources, including Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE) and independent broker/dealer quotes, bids and offerings, as well as other relevant market data, such as securities with similar characteristics (i.e. sector, rating, maturity, etc.). Broker/dealer quotes, bids and offerings mentioned above are gathered (typically three to ten) and a consensus risk premium spread (credit spread) over risk-free Treasury yields is developed from the inputs obtained, which is then used to calculate the resulting fair value. There were no transfers of investments between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings per share | Earnings per share. The Company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Stewart is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Stewart by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the reporting periods. Outstanding shares of Common Stock granted to employees that are not yet vested (restricted shares) are excluded from the calculation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for calculating basic EPS. To calculate diluted EPS, the number of shares is adjusted for the effects of any dilutive shares. The treasury stock method is used to calculate the dilutive number of shares related to the Company’s long term incentive and stock option plans. In periods of loss, dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of the diluted EPS and diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS. The calculation of the basic and diluted EPS is as follows:
(a) - During 2016, the Company paid $12.0 million as part of the consideration related to the exchange agreement with the holders of the Class B Common Stock. In accordance with the ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the $12.0 million payment was treated in a manner similar to the treatment of dividends on preferred stock for the purpose of calculating EPS. Accordingly, the $12.0 million payment was deducted from the 2016 net income to arrive at the net income for calculating basic and diluted EPS. |

Segment information | Segment information. The Company reports two operating segments: title and ancillary services and corporate. The title segment provides services needed to transfer title to property in a real estate transaction and includes services such as searching, examining, closing and insuring the condition of the title to the property. In addition, the title segment includes centralized title services, home and personal insurance services and Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges. The ancillary services and corporate segment historically provided appraisal and valuation services, loan file review, quality control services, government services, document management, recording and call center-related services offered to large mortgage lenders and servicers, mortgage brokers and mortgage investors. Beginning in 2017, the principal offerings of ancillary services are appraisal and valuation services. Also included in the ancillary services and corporate segment are expenses of the parent holding company and certain other enterprise-wide overhead costs, net of centralized administrative services costs allocated to respective operating businesses. Selected statement of income information related to these segments is as follows:
The Company does not provide asset information by reportable operating segment as it does not routinely evaluate the asset position by segment. Revenues generated in the United States and all international operations are as follows:

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Management's responsibility | Management’s responsibility. The accompanying interim financial statements were prepared by management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including management’s best judgments and estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this information for all interim periods, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, have been made. The Company’s results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and actual results could differ. |
Consolidation | Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries in which the Company owns more than 50% voting rights in electing directors. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated and provisions have been made for noncontrolling interests. Unconsolidated investees, in which the Company typically owns 20% through 50% of the equity, are accounted for by the equity method. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the 2016 interim financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes. Net income attributable to Stewart, as previously reported, was not affected. |
Restrictions on cash and investments | Restrictions on cash and investments. The Company maintains investments in accordance with certain statutory requirements for the funding of statutory premium reserves. Statutory reserve funds, which approximated $475.4 million and $485.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are required to be fully funded and invested in high-quality securities and short-term investments. Statutory reserve funds are not available for current claim payments, which must be funded from current operating cash flow. In addition, included within cash and cash equivalents are statutory reserve funds of approximately $26.9 million and $13.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Although these cash statutory reserve funds are not restricted or segregated in depository accounts, they are required to be held pursuant to state statutes. If the Company fails to maintain minimum investments or cash and cash equivalents sufficient to meet statutory requirements, the Company may be subject to fines or other penalties, including potential revocation of its business license. These funds are not available for any other purpose. In the event that insurance regulators adjust the determination of the statutory premium reserves of the Company’s title insurers, these restricted funds as well as statutory surplus would correspondingly increase or decrease. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which eliminated the transaction-specific and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth the steps to be followed to recognize revenue: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 will be effective on annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect method of adoption. Management is in the process of documenting and completing its analysis of the impact of the new revenue guidance, specifically its evaluation of certain fee arrangement contracts. Based on management's preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that ASU 2014-09, other than certain additional footnote disclosures, will not have a material impact on our accounting or reporting for revenue streams related to direct and agency title insurance premiums, escrow and other title-related fees, and investment income. These revenue streams account for approximately 94% of the Company's total revenues. The Company expects to complete its evaluation and documentation of the impact of the new revenue standard during the fourth quarter 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which updated the current guidance related to leases. The new guidance includes the requirement for the lessee to recognize in the balance sheet a liability equal to the present value of contractual lease payments with terms of more than twelve months and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Disclosures will be required by lessees to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is allowed. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and recognize and measure leases in the financial statements at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in material increases in the assets and liabilities reported on its consolidated balance sheets. As disclosed in Note 16 of the Company's 2016 Form 10-K, the undiscounted future minimum lease payments with terms of more than twelve months were approximately $168.2 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company expects the new ASU will likely have an insignificant impact on its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating certain lease management and accounting systems and plans to begin system implementation and testing on or before the first quarter 2018. |
