2018 Annual Report Powering the Global Real Estate Economy 2018 ANNUAL REPORT POWERING THE GLOBAL REAL ESTATE ECONOMY Information is at the core of every smart business decision, driving strategy, solutions, growth and ultimately success. CoreLogic is the company financial services organizations, real estate professionals, insurance carriers and public sector entities turn to for unique perspective that directs action to help drive growth and solve business challenges, as well as formulate public policy. At CoreLogic, our mission is to empower our clients to make smarter decisions through data-driven insights. As a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider, our vision is to deliver unique property-level insights that connect and power the global real estate economy. To achieve this vision, we put our clients first, focusing on finding better ways to meet their needs, demonstrating ownership through initiative, accountability, respect, trust, and transparency. DEAR FELLOW STOCKHOLDERS: Over time, home ownership has represented an aspirational goal for many people and households and a powerful engine for national economies. In the U.S., the dream of home ownership and its advance across the country underpinned our extended, post-World War II economic boom. As in the past, residential property continues to represent a significant and critically important asset class in most developed countries. Despite the long-term growth in real estate values, shorter term economic and demographic cycles have periodically created disruptions. Within the past decade, the scope and pace of change in the residential real estate economy has accelerated, driven by many factors – especially advances in data, technology, demographics and public policy. Despite the great recession and its long-felt impacts on the U.S. and other global housing markets, the dream of home ownership remains strong. This fact is likely to drive an increasing demand for residential real estate over the next 10 years. In this context, I believe CoreLogic’s opportunities for growth and value creation have never been greater. Current renters and homeowners, as well as prospective buyers and sellers need help to find, buy and protect their homes. In addition, housing market participants, including real estate agents, lenders, insurance providers, and various public sector entities need, more than ever, greater insights and better tools to make decisions – efficiently, accurately and quickly – in prospect identification, underwriting, continuous risk management and monitoring, as well as the formulation of public policy. Since 2011, CoreLogic has successfully executed against a long-term strategic plan designed to capitalize on the many opportunities presented by a changing real estate economy. Through the relentless delivery of our long- term strategic plan and annual business objectives, we have developed the operational scale, domain expertise, and technology and innovation platforms necessary to generate truly leading-edge solutions. Our data-driven insights and solutions have made us a compelling strategic partner for established and emerging participants in the global housing economy that want the very best workflow platforms and processes, unmatched market and property specific information, and gold standard decision-making tools and insights. The CoreLogic team delivered a strong set of results in 2018, both operationally and financially, despite a second straight year of significant U.S. mortgage market volume headwinds. I believe one of the more significant takeaways from 2018 and the past several years has been the continuing durability of our business model which is built around critical market leading insights and solutions in North American and, increasingly, globally. Since the great recession, we have progressively reduced the impact of down-cycles in U.S. mortgage market unit volumes on our financial results. Our ability to outperform the market over time is primarily attributable to the benefits of the continued shift in our revenue mix toward “must have” solutions, expansion into non-mortgage adjacencies and new geographies, and our aggressive push for operating leverage and productivity. Notable 2018 operating and financial highlights included: • Continued expansion of the market leadership of our core U.S. mortgage operations which outperformed market volume trends for the 7th straight year; • Expansion of our real estate solutions, insurance and spatial solutions and international footprints; • Scaling of our collateral valuations, realtor, insurance and spatial solutions platforms that help to efficiently connect key constituents in the housing ecosystem. These platforms are a distribution vehicle for our unmatched data and analytics and provide high margin annuity revenue streams in real estate, the public sector, insurance and mortgage underwriting; • Investment in existing and next generation capabilities – with a particular focus on data structures and visualization, technology platforms and advanced automation techniques – which we expect will set a foundation for future growth and margin expansion; • Achievement of 2018 cost efficiency targets; and • The repurchase of 3% of our outstanding common shares. In 2018 the CoreLogic team also continued to raise the bar on our programs to support and give back to those in need and to our communities. Our major focus in this area remained on providing access to education and building financial literacy, supporting our military veterans, building and or upgrading homes in our local communities, reducing the impacts of homelessness, and promoting health and wellness. Our success has been very much the result of a consistent pursuit of our vision of delivering unique property insights that connect and power the global real estate economy. With boundless passion and commitment, our nearly 6,000 employees around the world share a singular focus – help our clients make smarter decisions though our innovative, data-driven insights. As we move forward into 2019 and the next several years, we will continue to strive to reach our fullest potential by focusing on the following business imperatives: • Transforming critical market workflows through technology and data innovation, • Expanding leadership in property intelligence through “must-have” industry-standard solutions, • Aggressively diversifying the Company’s vertical and geographic footprint, • Driving to be the highest quality provider with a passion for continuous improvement, and • Maintaining a simple, nimble and scalable organization structure supported by built-to-last business processes. Over the past 7 years, the CoreLogic team has successfully executed against our shared vision of creating a scaled, innovative data-driven enterprise that delivers unique “must have” solutions to the global housing ecosystem. We have done this despite significant volatility in the US mortgage market volumes. We have consistently delivered against our short and medium term operational and financial commitments and, at the same time, we have invested aggressively in building sustainable and long-term value for our stakeholders. We believe our strategic transformation program has produced an exceptional track record of consistent high performance. Since 2011, our first full year as a publicly traded company, we have grown revenues at an annual compounded rate of 7%; operating income by 25% and adjusted EPS by 24%.Favorable revenue mix trends and a focus on cost management and productivity drove operating margins up by more than 820 basis points. In addition, we reinvested in our long-term growth and returned almost $1.4 billion in capital to our shareholders. Our sustained high performance has resulted in a better-than 150% increase in share value for our long-term stockholders. I believe our 2018 performance demonstrates the value creation opportunities inherent in our strategic plan and our consistently strong operational execution. 2018 was another year of foundational progress for CoreLogic and we remain positioned for future success. I want to thank all of our employees, clients and shareholders for their continued support as the CoreLogic team successfully executes against our vision of creating a scaled, innovative data-driven enterprise. Similar to last year, I would like to dedicate this letter and annual report to all of our global employees who drive incredible value for our clients and long-term stockholders every day.
