As demonstrated by the following table, the amount of compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Messrs. Nolan and Quirk for 2022 and excluding Mr. Quirk for 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018) is generally aligned with the Company’s net income over the five years presented in the table. While the Company does not use net income as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program, the measure of net income is correlated with the measure Adjusted Pre-tax Margin, which the company does use for when setting goals in the Company’s annual incentive plan and the performance-based restricted stock awards that are granted to the NEOs. | ||||
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block] | Compensation Actually Paid and Adjusted Pre-tax Title Margin. As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Messrs. Nolan and Quirk for 2022 and excluding Mr. Quirk for 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018) is generally aligned with the Adjusted Pre-tax Title Margin of our title segment over the five years presented in the table. As described above, Adjusted Pre-tax Title Margin is determined by dividing the earnings before income taxes and non-controlling interests from our title segment, excluding recognized gains and losses, purchase accounting amortization and other unusual items, by total revenues of the title segment excluding recognized gains and losses. The Company has determined that Adjusted Pre-tax Title Margin is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. The Company utilizes Adjusted Pre-tax Title Margin when setting goals in the Company’s annual incentive plan, as well as for setting goals for the performance-based restricted stock awards granted to the NEOs. | ||||
| Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group [Text Block] | Cumulative TSR of the Company and Cumulative TSR of the Peer Group. As demonstrated by the following graph, the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five-year period presented in the table was 20%, while the cumulative TSR of the peer group presented for this purpose, First American Financial Corporation and Stewart Information Services Corp., was 10% over the five years presented in the table. The Company’s cumulative TSR generally outperformed the First American Financial Corporation and Stewart Information Services Corp. during the five years presented in the table, representing the Company’s superior financial performance as compared to the companies comprising the First American Financial Corporation and Stewart Information Services Corp. peer group. For more information regarding the Company’s performance and the companies that the Compensation Committee considers when determining compensation, refer to “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” | ||||
| Tabular List [Table Text Block] | Tabular List of Financial Performance Measures. As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows: • Adjusted Pre-Tax Title Margin • Adjusted Title Revenue | ||||
