Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.4 billion, down 5 percent compared with the third quarter of 2023. Net loss in the current quarter was $104 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $2 million, or 2 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income in the current quarter was $138 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared with $128 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of last year. Net investment losses in the current quarter were $312 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, compared with net investment losses of $164 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, in the third quarter of last year. Purchase-related intangible amortization in the current quarter was $8 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, compared with $10 million, or 7 cents per diluted share in the third quarter of last year. The effective tax rate this quarter was 28.4 percent. Excluding the impact of net realized investment losses and purchase-related intangible amortization, the tax rate was 20.5 percent which benefited from $6 million in research and development and foreign tax credits recognized this quarter.
“We benefited from measured improvement in market conditions during the third quarter, with adjusted revenue up 4 percent, the first year-over-year growth since the second quarter of 2022,” said Ken DeGiorgio, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. “Our adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.34, an increase of ten percent. In our title segment, premiums and escrow revenues were up across all key business lines, but most notably in our commercial division, where revenues were up 19 percent.
"As we indicated last quarter, we expect that modest revenue growth for the full year of 2024 will enable us to achieve title margins similar to what we posted in 2023. We now have stronger conviction in that outcome given the recent performance of our commercial business and the increase in interest income resulting from a rebalancing of our investment portfolio. The first year-over-year growth in revenue in nine quarters, coupled with our expectation that affordability challenges will gradually abate, also make us cautiously optimistic that we are in the beginning stage of a new cycle that will drive further improvement in 2025.
"The recent hurricanes inflicted widespread damage and devastation across several southeastern states. Many of our employees — and the communities in which they live — have endured profound hardships. While we are grateful that all of our people are safe, we know that many now face the difficult task of recovery. I want to thank our people for all they have done to lend a hand to those impacted and to reiterate our company’s commitment to support our people and their communities."

Total revenues for the Title Insurance and Services segment during the third quarter were $1.3 billion, down 15 percent compared with the same quarter of 2023. Total adjusted revenues in the current quarter were $1.6 billion, up 4 percent compared with last year. Direct premiums and escrow fees increased by 9 percent compared with the third quarter of last year, driven by a 7 percent increase in the average revenue per order closed and a 1 percent increase in the number of direct title orders closed in our domestic operations. The average revenue per direct title order increased to $3,926, primarily due to increases in the average revenue per order for commercial and purchase transactions. Agent premiums, which are recorded on approximately a one-quarter lag relative to direct premiums, were up 3 percent compared with last year.
Information and other revenues were $242 million during the quarter, up $2 million, or 1 percent, compared with last year.
Investment income was $136 million in the third quarter, down $5 million compared with the same quarter last year. The decline was primarily driven by lower average interest-bearing escrow and tax-deferred property exchange balances, partly offset by higher interest income from the company's warehouse lending business and the partial impact of the company's investment portfolio rebalancing project. Net investment losses totaled $308 million in the current quarter, compared with losses of $16 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net realized investment losses in the current quarter were primarily attributable to losses realized from the company's investment portfolio rebalancing project, partly offset by a favorable change in the fair value of marketable equity securities. Net investment losses in the third quarter of last year were primarily due to unfavorable changes in the fair value of marketable securities and losses recognized on the sale of fixed-income securities.
Personnel costs were $492 million in the third quarter, up $23 million, or 5 percent compared with the same quarter of 2023. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to higher salary, incentive compensation, employee benefits, and payroll tax expense, partly offset by lower severance expense.
Other operating expenses of $252 million in the current quarter were up $9 million, or 4 percent compared with the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher production and software expense.
The provision for policy losses and other claims was $37 million in the third quarter, or 3.0 percent of title premiums and escrow fees, unchanged from the prior year. The third quarter rate reflects an ultimate loss rate of 3.75 percent for the current policy year and a net decrease of $9 million in the loss reserve estimate for prior policy years.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $52 million in the third quarter, up $6 million, or 12 percent, compared with the same period last year, due to higher amortization of capitalized software from recently deployed digital settlement products.
Interest expense was $24 million in the current quarter, up 2 percent compared with last year primarily due to higher interest expense in the company's warehouse lending business, largely offset by lower interest expense related to our subservicing business.
The Title Insurance and Services segment posted a pretax loss of $130 million in the third quarter, compared with pretax income of $160 million in the third quarter of 2023. Pretax margin was (10.1) percent in the current quarter, compared with 10.5 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 11.6 percent in the current period, compared with 12.0 percent last year.

Total revenues for the Home Warranty segment were $111 million in the third quarter, up 2 percent compared with last year. The segment posted pretax income of $9 million this quarter, down 4 percent compared with last year. The claim loss rate was 53.8 percent in the third quarter, compared with 54.9 percent last year, due to lower claim counts that were partially offset by higher claim severity. Home Warranty’s pretax margin was 8.1 percent this quarter, compared with 8.7 percent last year. Adjusted pretax margin was 7.7 percent this quarter, compared with 9.3 percent last year.
Corporate
Net investment income was $9 million this quarter, up $13 million from the prior year, primarily attributable to changes in the value of investments associated with the company’s deferred compensation program. This amount was offset by higher personnel expense, reflecting returns on the plan participants’ investments.
Net recognized investment losses were $4 million this quarter, compared with losses of $147 million last year. Excluding these net recognized losses, the Corporate pretax loss was $19 million this quarter, down $5 million compared with the third quarter of last year, due to favorable reserve adjustments related to the legacy property and casualty business.
