Segment information

NOTE 20

Segment information. The Company’s three reportable operating segments are title insurance and related services (title), mortgage services and corporate. The title segment provides services needed to transfer the title in a real estate transaction. These services include searching, examining, closing and insuring the condition of the title to real property. The title segment also includes home and personal insurance services and Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.

The mortgage services segment includes a diverse group of products and services provided to multiple markets. Mortgage services provides origination and component servicing support; default and REO services; post-closing outsourcing; portfolio due diligence; mortgage compliance solutions; servicer oversight to residential mortgage lenders, servicers and investors; and technology to support the real estate process. The single largest customer of the mortgage services segment accounted for 67.0%, 73.0% and 65.7% of mortgage services revenues in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The corporate segment consists of the expenses of the parent holding company, certain other corporate overhead expenses, and the costs of its centralized support operations not otherwise allocated to the lines of business.

The Company does not provide asset information by reportable operating segment as it does not routinely evaluate the asset position by segment.
