About Old Republic International Corp
About Old Republic International Corp
Old Republic International's two reportable segments—Specialty Insurance and Title Insurance—generated consolidated revenues of $9,136.3 million in 2025, with Specialty Insurance contributing $5,990.9 million and Title Insurance $2,928.9 million. The Specialty Insurance combined ratio was 93.2% in 2025 and the Title Insurance combined ratio was 97.6%. Net investment income totaled $708.7 million in 2025, with the investment portfolio allocated approximately 85% to fixed income and 15% to equity securities.
Old Republic earns underwriting revenue across commercial auto—the largest line at $2,184.9 million net premiums earned (72.3% loss ratio in 2025), workers' compensation at $879.7 million (59.0% loss ratio), property at $696.9 million (53.5% loss ratio), and general liability at $434.4 million (62.7% loss ratio). Approximately 95% of Specialty Insurance premiums are produced through independent agency or brokerage channels, with the remaining 5% from direct production. Title Insurance collects one-time premiums at real estate closing; 78.1% of title premium and fee revenues originated from independent title agents in 2025. The company employs reinsurance, retrospective premium arrangements, and captive insurance risk-sharing to align premiums with ultimate loss costs and manage capital efficiency.

The 10-K flags that Old Republic's Title Insurance subsidiaries act as depositories for large escrow accounts at commercial banking institutions, creating concentrated financial exposure if a bank fails or funds become inaccessible. Separately, the company's insurance subsidiaries remain liable to policyholders even if reinsurers default; for long-tail coverages including workers' compensation and commercial auto liability, a reinsurer's creditworthiness may deteriorate over years before the company collects amounts it believes it is entitled to receive. This dual counterparty exposure—banking institution concentration for escrow and reinsurers for long-tail recoveries—exposes Old Republic to correlated credit stress in a systemic downturn.
