First American's Title Order Transactions by Month for U.S. Direct Title Operations

The attached title order information is prepared based on the company’s production reporting system that tracks opened and closed title insurance order counts for First American’s U.S. direct title insurance operations only, which disproportionately reflect title order activity in the western U.S. This data does not include transaction activity from First American’s agents. The attached workbook includes the company’s monthly opened and closed title order counts on a per day basis. The data tables include breakdowns for purchase, refinance, commercial, and default and other business classifications consistent with the supplemental direct title insurance order information table included in the quarterly earnings release. Business days are also provided to support calculation of total order counts for a given period.
