FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Chapel Hill, NC – Investors Title Company (Nasdaq: ITIC) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company reported net income of $12.3 million, or $6.48 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $4.70 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Revenues increased 12.6% to $73.6 million, compared to $65.4 million in the prior year period. Net premiums written and escrow and title-related fees increased by $4.0 million, primarily driven by higher real estate activity levels. Other revenue increased $2.7 million due to a gain on assets transferred to a joint venture. Non-title services revenue increased $1.2 million, largely attributable to increases in revenue from like-kind exchanges and management services. Net investment gains increased by $862 thousand due to the impact of changes in the estimated fair value of equity security investments.

Operating expenses increased 6.9% to $57.9 million, compared to $54.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was largely driven by higher agent commissions and an increase in the provision for claims. The rise in agent commissions corresponds with the growth in agent business. The claims expense increased due to higher reserves on reported claims and a reduction in favorable loss development during the current period.

Income before income taxes increased to $15.8 million for the current year quarter, versus $11.3 million in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of net investment gains, adjusted income before income taxes (non-GAAP) increased to $13.7 million for the current year quarter, versus $10.0 million in the prior year period (see Appendix A for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure).

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income increased $2.1 million to $15.4 million, or $8.16 per diluted share, versus $13.4 million, or $7.10 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Revenues increased 9.6% to $130.2 million, compared with $118.8 million for the prior year period. Operating expenses increased 8.4% to $110.4 million, compared to $101.8 million for the prior year period. Income before income taxes increased to $19.9 million for the current year, versus $17.1 million in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of net investment gains, adjusted income before income taxes (non-GAAP) increased to $18.9 million for the current year period, versus $13.4 million in the prior year period (see Appendix A for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure). Overall results for the year-to-date period have been shaped predominantly by the same factors that affected the second quarter. The one notable exception was lower net investment gains for the first six months of 2025, compared to the same prior year period, which were driven by negative changes in the estimated fair value of equity security investments and a decrease in realized gains from the sale of investment securities.

Chairman J. Allen Fine commented, “We are pleased to report our strongest quarterly performance in over three years, reflecting solid execution and broad-based revenue growth. The increase in profitability was driven largely by growth in title insurance revenues, aided by increases in our non-title business segments, particularly our like-kind exchange subsidiary.

"Despite ongoing market headwinds, incoming order volumes in the second quarter exceeded those of the same period last year. As a result, we are entering the third quarter with a stronger pipeline of open orders compared to a year ago. We believe this positions us well for continued momentum in the quarters ahead.”

Investors Title Company’s subsidiaries issue and underwrite title insurance policies. The Company also provides investment management services and services in connection with tax-deferred exchanges of like-kind property.

Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliation

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands)

(unaudited)

Management uses various financial and operational measurements, including financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), to analyze Company performance. This includes adjusting revenues to remove the impact of net investment gains and losses, which are recognized in net income under GAAP. Net investment gains and losses include realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities and changes in the estimated fair value of equity security investments. Management believes that these measures are useful to evaluate the Company's internal operational performance from period to period because they eliminate the effects of external market fluctuations. The Company also believes users of the financial results would benefit from having access to such information, and that certain of the Company’s peers make available similar information. This information should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measurements used by Company management to the comparable measurements using GAAP:
