HOUSTON, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Stewart Information Services Corporation (NYSE: STC) today reported net income attributable to Stewart of $17.3 million ($0.62 per diluted share) for the second quarter 2024, compared to $15.8 million ($0.58 per diluted share) for the second quarter 2023.

Second quarter 2024 results included $0.5 million of pretax net realized and unrealized losses primarily driven by net unrealized losses on fair value changes of equity securities investments in the title segment, while second quarter 2023 results included $1.1 million of pretax net realized and unrealized losses, primarily composed of a contingent receivable loss adjustment resulting from a previous disposition of a business in the corporate and other segment, partially offset by net unrealized gains on fair value changes of equity securities investments in the title segment.
“Our second quarter revenues increased when compared to the second quarter of last year, driven by solid topline results in several of our core businesses. As with the rest of the industry, we remain impacted by a continued difficult housing market,” commented Fred Eppinger, chief executive officer. “We remain focused on achieving our strategic goals and continue to invest in ourselves as we pursue growth and margin improvement across all lines of business.”

Title segment operating revenues improved $29.5 million, or 6 percent, in the second quarter 2024 primarily driven by increased revenues from our domestic commercial, international and agency title operations, partially offset by lower domestic noncommercial revenues, while total segment operating expenses increased $31.3 million, or 7 percent, compared to the second quarter 2023. Agency retention expenses in the second quarter 2024 increased $28.4 million, or 17 percent, primarily driven by $32.0 million, or 15 percent, improvement in gross agency revenues compared to the second quarter 2023, while the average independent agency remittance rate in the second quarter 2024 decreased to approximately 16.9 percent, compared to 17.7 percent during the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased agency revenues in states with relatively higher agent retention rates.
Total title segment employee costs and other operating expenses slightly increased by $2.0 million, or less than a percent, in the second quarter 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased outside search expenses related to higher commercial revenues. As a percentage of operating revenues, these expenses were 49.7 percent in the second quarter 2024 compared to 52.4 percent in the second quarter 2023. Title loss expense in the second quarter 2024 increased $1.3 million, or 7 percent, primarily driven by higher title revenues compared to the prior year quarter. As a percentage of title revenues, title loss expense was 4.2 percent for both the second quarters 2024 and 2023.
Investment income improved by $2.2 million in the second quarter 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily resulting from higher interest income on eligible escrow balances in the second quarter 2024. In addition to the net realized and unrealized losses and gains presented above, non-GAAP adjustments to the title segment’s pretax income for the second quarters 2024 and 2023 included $4.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of total acquisition intangible asset amortization and other expenses.

Second quarter 2024 total non-commercial domestic revenues decreased $15.1 million, or 8 percent, primarily resulting from a 9 percent decrease in total residential purchase and refinancing transactions and a lower average fee per file compared to the prior year quarter. Domestic commercial revenues increased $9.5 million, or 23 percent, primarily driven by improved average transaction size and higher commercial transactions closed compared to the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2024 average domestic commercial fee per file improved 17 percent to $13,500, compared to $11,600 in the second quarter 2023, while average residential fee per file was $3,000, which was 7 percent lower compared to $3,300 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a lower purchase transaction mix in the second quarter 2024.

Segment operating revenues increased $20.8 million, or 29 percent, in the second quarter 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased revenues from credit information and valuation services. On a combined basis, employee costs and other operating expenses in the second quarter 2024 increased $19.0 million, or 31 percent, consistent with the higher operating revenues. Non-GAAP adjustments to pretax income shown in the schedule above were primarily related to acquisition intangible asset amortization expenses.
Corporate and Other Segment
The segment’s results were primarily driven by net expenses attributable to corporate operations, which decreased to $9.5 million in the second quarter 2024, compared to $10.5 million in the second quarter 2023, primarily driven by management’s cost discipline. The segment’s results for the second quarter 2023 included net realized losses of $3.1 million, primarily driven by a loss adjustment resulting from a previous disposition of a business.
Expenses
Consolidated employee costs in the second quarter 2024 decreased $3.0 million, or 2 percent, compared to the second quarter 2023, primarily due to reduced incentive compensation and a 3 percent lower average employee count in the second quarter 2024. As a percentage of total operating revenues, employee costs improved to 30.5 percent in the second quarter 2024 compared to 33.9 percent in the prior year quarter.
Consolidated other operating expenses in the second quarter 2024 increased $23.0 million, or 18 percent, primarily as a result of increased service expenses and outside search fees related to higher revenues from real estate solutions and commercial title operations, respectively, and higher office closure costs compared to the second quarter 2023. As a percentage of total operating revenues, total other operating expenses for the second quarter 2024 were 25.9 percent, compared to 24.0 percent in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by increased real estate solutions service expenses.
Other
Net cash provided by operations in the second quarter 2024 was $21.1 million compared to $35.1 million of net cash provided by operations in the second quarter 2023, primarily due to increased trade accounts receivable resulting from increased revenues in our real estate solutions operations during the second quarter 2024. Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter 2024 was higher than our normal tax rate primarily due to the higher pretax contribution of our international operations (which have higher average income tax rates) compared to our domestic operations.

Appendix A
Non-GAAP Adjustments
Management uses a variety of financial and operational measurements other than its financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to analyze its performance. These include: (1) adjusted revenues, which are reported revenues adjusted for net realized and unrealized gains and losses and (2) adjusted pretax income and adjusted net income, which are reported pretax income and reported net income after earnings from noncontrolling interests, respectively, adjusted for net realized and unrealized gains and losses, acquired intangible asset amortization, office closure costs, executive severance expenses, and nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (adjusted diluted EPS) is calculated using adjusted net income divided by the diluted average weighted outstanding shares. Adjusted pretax margin is calculated using adjusted pretax income divided by adjusted total revenues. Management views these measures as important performance measures of core profitability for its operations and as key components of its internal financial reporting. Management believes investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses.
Below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used by management to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions, except shares, per share amounts and pretax margins, and amounts may not add as presented due to rounding).
