Segment Information

NOTE 8

Segment information. The Company’s two reportable segments are title insurance-related services (Title) and real estate information (REI). Under the Company’s internal reporting system, most general corporate expenses are incurred by and charged to the title segment. Technology operating costs are also charged to the title segment, except for direct expenditures incurred by the REI segment. All investment income is included in the title segment as it is primarily generated by the investments of the title underwriters’ operations.
