“CoreLogic had another strong year in 2013. We delivered revenue and earnings growth despite an estimated 20% drop in loan origination volumes. Importantly for the future, we continued to build-out and enhance our D&A and TPS segments in line with our strategic business plan,” said Anand Nallathambi, President and Chief Executive Officer of CoreLogic. “Over the balance of 2014, we will continue to invest in areas of strategic growth and operational excellence which we believe will provide sustainable, long-term value creation for our stakeholders. Despite significantly lower origination volumes for the second consecutive year, we expect to continue to make progress toward our imperatives of growing our D&A segment to over 50% of our total revenues and ensuring that our TPS operations are positioned to outperform their respective markets.”
“We are exiting 2013 a stronger and more focused company — uniquely positioned to capitalize on our competitive strengths in data and analytics, payment processing and data-enabled services,” added Frank Martell, Chief Financial Officer of CoreLogic. “We believe the actions taken in the past 30 months to transform CoreLogic have prepared us to successfully navigate a historic reset of the mortgage market in 2014. Our strong margin and cash flow profile provides the financial flexibility to continue to invest in the key pillars of our strategic plan including driving our core growth strategies, improving cost productivity, and returning capital to our shareholders.”
