"The second quarter was a very strong performance for our title business, as we generated adjusted pre-tax title earnings of $338 million and a 17.1% adjusted pre-tax title margin, our best quarterly performance on both metrics in 15 years," said Chairman William P. Foley, II. "We are encouraged to see the single-digit growth in orders in both the residential purchase and commercial markets offsetting the double-digit decline in orders in the residential refinance market and feel our title business is well positioned to continue to deliver strong financial results through the remainder of 2018.

"We continue to work through the regulatory process related to the Stewart Information Services acquisition that we announced on March 19. On May 31, we received the expected Second Request from the FTC, asking for additional information and documentary material related to their HSR regulatory review of the transaction. We remain engaged in document collection and review and have been working cooperatively with the FTC to fully respond to the Second Request. The other significant filings are the Form A filings with the states of Texas and New York, both of which are now subject to review by those states. We continue to believe the Stewart acquisition will create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders."
