Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

During the third quarter of 2024, First American Financial Corporation (the "Company") initiated a strategic investment portfolio rebalancing project. In connection with this rebalancing project, the Company sold certain debt securities in an unrealized loss position, for which the Company will record a pre-tax realized investment loss of $342 million during the third quarter of 2024. The Company is in the process of reinvesting the sale proceeds and, based on current market conditions, expects the rebalanced portfolio to result in an increase in interest income of between $60 million and $70 million per year.
