Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting, Policy | We have two strategic business units that we manage separately—Mortgage Insurance and Services. Adjusted pretax operating income (loss) for each segment represents segment results on a standalone basis; therefore, inter-segment eliminations and reclassifications required for consolidated GAAP presentation have not been reflected. We allocate to our Mortgage Insurance segment: (i) corporate expenses based on its forecasted annual percentage of total revenue, which approximates the estimated percentage of time spent on the Mortgage Insurance segment; (ii) all interest expense (except for interest expense related to an intercompany note with terms consistent with the original issued amount of $300 million from the Senior Notes due 2019 that were used to fund our purchase of Clayton, all of which is allocated to our Services segment); and (iii) all corporate cash and investments. We allocate to our Services segment: (i) corporate expenses based on its forecasted annual percentage of total revenue, which approximates the estimated percentage of time spent on the Services segment and (ii) the allocated interest expense related to the intercompany note as described above. No material corporate cash or investments are allocated to the Services segment. Inter-segment activities are recorded at market rates for segment reporting and eliminated in consolidation. Contract underwriting activities are reported within our Services segment. We include underwriting-related expenses for mortgage insurance, based on a pro-rata volume of mortgage applications excluding third-party contract underwriting services, in our Mortgage Insurance segment’s other operating expenses before corporate allocations. We include underwriting-related expenses for third-party contract underwriting services, based on a pro-rata volume of mortgage applications, in our Services segment’s cost of services and other operating expenses before corporate allocations, as applicable.
