Net realized investment gains in the current quarter were $11.1 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, compared with net realized investment losses of $7.0 million, or 4 cents per diluted share, last year. The current quarter’s results include a $5.7 million expense, or 4 cents per diluted share, related to a legacy regulatory matter. In addition, the third quarter results in 2017 included an expense of $152.4 million, or 89 cents per diluted share, for the completion of the company’s pension plan termination.
“Our strong financial results continued this quarter, as we achieved a pretax margin of 14.6 percent in the title business,” said Dennis J. Gilmore, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. “Our commercial business had another good quarter, with revenue growth of 5 percent. We continue to benefit from increasing investment income driven by rising short-term interest rates, however higher mortgage rates have recently contributed to a slowdown in purchase activity.
