CoreLogic's 4Q Profit Rises Due to RELS Acquisition

CoreLogic more-than-doubled its profit in the fourth quarter, as the benefits from an acquisition helped offset higher expenses.

Net income rose $37.7 million from $14.7 million a year ago, according to a news release this week. Earnings per share rose 162% to 42 cents.

CoreLogic's results got a boost from a $26 million after-tax gain on investments associated with its acquisition of RELS, a provider of real estate valuations and appraisal services.

Total revenue rose 13% to $391 million, as growth in property information and analytics offset an unfavorable currency translation.

Total operating expenses 18% to $364 million, led by higher costs of services, and general and administrative expenses.
