Note 1 – Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

CoreLogic, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is a leading global property information, insight, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider operating in North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. Our combined data from public, contributory, and proprietary sources provides detailed coverage of property, mortgages and other encumbrances, property risk and replacement cost, consumer credit, tenancy, location, hazard risk and related performance information. The markets we serve include real estate and mortgage finance, insurance, capital markets, and the public sector. We deliver value to clients through unique data, analytics, workflow technology, advisory and managed solutions. Clients rely on us to help identify and manage growth opportunities, improve performance, and mitigate risk.

Our condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States ("US") for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The 20182019 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20182019. Interim financial information does not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods.

Client Concentration

We generate the majority of our operating revenues from clients with operations in the US residential real estate, mortgage origination, and mortgage servicing markets. Approximately 31% and 32%29% of our operating revenues for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, were generated from our top ten clients, who consist of the largest US mortgage originators and servicers. None of our clients individually accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 nor 2018. Approximately 30% and 32% of our operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were generated from our top ten clients with none of our clients individually accounting for greater than 10% of our operating revenues during these periods.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We deem the carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the nature of these instruments. Restricted cash is comprised of certificates of depositdeposits that are pledged for various letters of credit/bank guarantees secured by us, escrow accounts due to acquisitions and divestitures, as well as short-term investments within our deferred compensation plan trust. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to amounts shown in the statement of cash flows:

Operating Revenue Recognition

We derive our operating revenues primarily from US mortgage lenders, servicers, and insurance companies with good creditworthiness. Operating revenue arrangements are written and specify the products or services to be delivered, pricing, and payment terms. Operating revenue is recognized when the distinct good or service or performance obligation(also referred as "performance obligation"), is delivered and control has been transferred to the client. Generally, clients contract with us to provide products and services that are highly interrelated and not separately identifiable. Therefore, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. At times, some of our contracts have multiple performance obligations where we allocate the total price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling price using observable sales or the cost-plus-margin approach.

For products or services where delivery occurs at a point in time, we recognize operating revenue when the client obtains control of the products upon delivery. When delivery occurs over time, we generally recognize operating revenue ratably over the service period, once initial delivery has occurred. For certain of our products or services, clients may also pay upfront fees, which we defer and recognize as operating revenue over the longer of the contractual term or the expected client relationship period.

Licensing arrangements that provide our clients with the right to access or use our intellectual property are considered functional licenses for which we generally recognize operating revenue based on usage. For arrangements that provide a stand-ready obligation or substantive updates to the intellectual property which the client is contractually or practically required to use, we recognize operating revenue ratably over the contractual term.

Client payment terms are standard with no significant financing components or extended payment terms granted. In limited cases, we allow for client cancellations for which we estimate a reserve.reserve at the point-of-sale.

See further discussion in Note 87 - Operating Revenues.

Investment in Affiliates, net

Investments in affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we are deemed to have significant influence over the affiliate but do not control or have a majority voting interest in the affiliate. Investments are carried at the cost of acquisition, including subsequent impairments, capital contributions and loans from us, plus our equity in undistributed earnings or losses since inception of the investment, less dividends received.

ForWe recorded equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax, of $0.5 million, and equity in losses of affiliates, net of tax, of $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not have anyhad 0 operating revenues related to our investment in affiliates and had $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.affiliates. We recorded operating expenses of $0.4 million and $1.0 million related to our investment in affiliates of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018, respectively, and $1.1 million and $6.3$0.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.5 million in our investment in affiliates, net, due to an other-than-temporary loss because we do not foresee an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment. This loss was recorded within gain/(loss) on investments and other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. NaN such impairments were recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, we had insignificant accounts payable and accounts receivable with these affiliates.

Discontinued OperationsIn January 2020, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 66% of Location, Inc. ("Location") for $11.5 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments. In connection with this transaction, we remeasured our pre-existing 34% investment balance of $5.6 million to fair value based on the purchase price, resulting in a $0.6 million step-up gain which was recorded within (loss)/gain on investments and other, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The total investment balance was then reclassified in the application of purchase accounting for this acquisition. See Note 12 - Acquisitions for additional information. Prior to the acquisition of the remaining interest, we accounted for Location under the equity method and received dividends of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception and determine the classification of the lease, as either operating or finance, at commencement.

Operating and finance lease assets and liabilities are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term which factors in certain qualifying initial direct costs incurred as well as any lease incentives received. If an implicit rate is not readily determinable, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate and inputs from third-party lenders to determine the appropriate discount rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which, if applicable, may factor in renewal or termination options. Finance leases incur interest expense using the effective interest method in addition to amortization of the leased asset on a straight-line basis, both over the applicable lease term. Lease terms may factor in options to extend or terminate the lease.

We adhere to the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of assets (i.e. facilities and equipment). As a result, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, for certain equipment leases, we account for lease and non-lease components, such as services, as a single lease component as permitted.

Dividends

We record cash dividends as reductions to retained earnings upon declaration, with a corresponding increase to current liabilities, based on common shares outstanding on the record date. In addition, as part of our share-based compensation program, the terms of our restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) stipulate that holders of these awards are credited with dividend equivalent units on each date that a cash dividend is paid to holders of common stock. These dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting and performance requirements of the underlying units and therefore are forfeitable (i.e. non-participating). Upon declaration of a dividend, we record dividend equivalents as a reduction to retained earnings, derived from the number of eligible unvested shares, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital.

In September 2014,December 2019, we completedannounced that our Board of Directors initiated and declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per common share. As a result, as of December 31, 2019, we recorded a liability of $17.4 million within accounts payable and other accrued expenses, as well as $0.4 million in dividend equivalents reflected in additional paid-in-capital within our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The dividend declared was paid in January 2020 to shareholders of record at the saleclose of our collateral solutions and field services businesses, which were includedbusiness on January 10, 2020. In April 2020, the Board of Directors announced a cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.22 per share of common stock to be paid in the former reporting segment Asset Management and Processing Solutions. In September 2012, we completed the wind-down of our consumer services business and our former appraisal management company business. In September 2011, we closed our marketing services business. In December 2010, we completed the sale of our Employer and Litigation Services businesses.June 2020.

In connection with previous divestitures, we retained certain contingent liabilities of the businesses that were disposed of. These contingent liabilities include, among other items, liability for certain litigation matters, indemnification obligations and potential breaches of representations or warranties. With respect to our Employer and Litigation Services divestiture, we retained certain liabilities and, in September 2016, a jury returned an unfavorable verdict against this discontinued operating unit, which we appealed. In August 2019, the verdict was upheld on appeal. We have accrued a potential loss of $21.7 million as of September 30, 2019 with respect to this verdict, although we are pursuing further review of the verdict. The liability is reflected in our results from discontinued operations.

Discontinued Operations

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, we recorded assets of discontinued operations of $6.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other current assets within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, mainly consisting of income tax-related assets. Additionally, as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we recorded liabilities of $24.1$0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, within accounts payable and other accrued expenses, which mainly consisted of legal-related accruals.

Tax Escrow Disbursement Arrangements

We administer tax escrow disbursements as a service to our clients in connection with our tax services business. These depositsFunds to be disbursed are deposited and maintained in segregated accounts for the benefit of our clients and totaled $1.3$6.8 billion and $0.7$1.4 billion as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019, respectively. Because these deposits are held on behalf of our clients, they are not our funds and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

These deposits generally remain in the accounts for a period of two to five business days. We record credits from these activities as a reduction to related administrative expenses, including the cost of bank fees and other administration costs.

Under our contracts with our clients, if we make a payment in error or fail to pay a taxing authority when a payment is due, we could be held liable to our clients for all or part of the financial loss they suffer as a result of our act or omission. We maintained total claim reserves relating to incorrect disposition of assets of $21.4$22.4 million and $21.2$22.7 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019, respectively. Within both of these amounts, $9.3$9.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively, are short-term and are reflected within accounts payable and other accrued expenses within our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining reserves are reflected within other liabilities.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2019,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") issued guidance to amendease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform, in connection with the scheduled phase-out of LIBOR as a reference interest rate. The guidance provides practical expedients and exceptions in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Entities electing the practical expedients will be allowed, among other topics, to account for reference rate modification of debt and receivables prospectively; to not reassess lease classifications and discount rates in reference rate lease modifications; and ease cash-flow hedge effectiveness testing guidelines for hedges affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 with adoption permitted as of any date within the aforementioned time frame from the beginning of the selected interim period on a prospective basis. We have elected to adopt the guidance in the current quarter which has not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, as part of a simplification initiative, the FASB issued guidance to remove certain exceptions and added further guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The exceptions that were removed relate to recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The guidance reduces the complexity of recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to entities of a consolidated group. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt on January 1, 2020 via the modified retrospective method with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application, resulting in an increase to retained earnings of $16.8 million which represents the release of a deferred tax liability that had previously been established for the outside basis difference of an equity method investment that later became a subsidiary.

In November 2018, the FASB issued guidance to clarify certain areas within threethe definition and interaction of collaborative arrangements with previously issued standards related to financial instruments which includes clarification for fair value using the measurement alternative, measuring credit losses and accounting for derivatives and hedging. The amendments in this guidance are largelyon revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We have not elected early adoption and do not anticipate that this guidance will haveon a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017,retrospective basis to the FASB issued guidance to amend and improve the accounting for hedging activities. The amendment eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. An initial quantitative assessment to establish that the hedge is highly effective is still required but the amendment allows until the enddate of the first quarter it is designated to performinitial adoption of the assessment. After initial qualification, a qualitative assessment can be performed if the hedge is highly effective and the documentation at inception can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the hedge’s term. The amendment requires companies to present all hedged accounting elements that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. For highly effective cash flow hedges, fair value changes will be recorded in other comprehensive loss and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings. The guidance became effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. In October 2018, the FASB issued incremental guidance to this update to permit the Overnight Index Swap Rate and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate to be utilized as US benchmark interest rates for hedge accounting purposes.revenue standard. We have adopted this guidance beginning with fiscalin the current year 2019 as required, which has not had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In FebruaryAugust 2018, the FASB issued guidance that amends fair value disclosure requirements. The guidance removes disclosure requirements on the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy in addition to the disclosure requirements on the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure and adds disclosure requirements for Level 3 unrealized gains and losses and significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities were permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. We early adopted the removal of disclosure


provisions of the new guidance in 2018 and adopted the measurement uncertainty disclosure and additional Level 3 disclosures in the current year as required. Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leasefor accounting which requires leases, regardless of classification, to be recognized oncredit losses affecting the balance sheet as leaseimpairment model for most financial assets and liabilities.certain other instruments. Entities are required to use a forward-looking current expected credit loss model for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments, which will generally lead to an earlier recognition of loss allowances. Entities will recognize expected losses on available-for-sale debt securities as allowances rather than a reduction in amortized cost of the security while the measurement process of such loss does not change. Disclosure requirements are expanded regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods of estimations of the allowance. The objective ofguidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In November 2018 and 2019, the FASB issued updates to this standard is to provide greater transparency on the amount, timing and uncertaintywhich, amongst other items, clarified that impairment of cash flowsreceivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for under applicable leasing arrangements. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee depends upon its classificationguidance. We have adopted this guidance in the current year as a finance or operating lease. On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting standard, and all related amendments, using the modified retrospective approach. Comparative informationrequired, which has not been restated and continues to be reported under the standards in effect for those prior periods as allowed by the guidance. As part of our adoption we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allows us to carry forward our historical lease classification of pre-existing leases, treatment of pre-existing indirect costs, as well as our conclusions of whether a pre-existing contract contains a lease. We have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information upon our adoption in the first quarter of 2019.

Adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $67.7 million and $103.9 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. There was no impact to opening equity as a result of adoption as the difference between the asset and liability balance is attributable to reclassifications of pre-existing balances, such as deferred and prepaid rent, into the lease asset balance. The adoption of this standard has not materially impacted our consolidated statement of operations or presentation of cash flows and we do not anticipatehad a material impact in the future based on our current operations. See below for our accounting policy reflecting the updated guidance.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception and determine the classification of the lease, as either operating or finance, at commencement.

Operating and finance lease assets and liabilities are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments which factors in certain qualifying initial direct costs incurred as well as any lease incentives received. If an implicit rate is not readily determinable, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate and inputs from third-party lenders to determine the appropriate discount rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases incur interest expense using the effective interest method in addition to amortization of the leased asset on a straight-line basis, both over the applicable lease term. Lease terms may factor in options to extend or terminate the lease.

We adhere to the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of assets (i.e. facilities and equipment). As a result, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, for certain equipment leases, we account for lease and non-lease components, such as services, as a single lease component as permitted.condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019, we recorded $1.4$0.6 million and $0.70.4 million, respectively, of accrued interest expense on our debt-related instruments within accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

Credit Agreement

In May 2019, we amended and restated our credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, and other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.8 billion five-year5-year term loan A facility (the “Term Facility”), and a $750.0 million five-year5-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Term Facility matures, and the Revolving Facility expires, in May 2024. The Revolving Facility includes a $100.0 million multi-currency revolving sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Agreement also provides for the ability to increase the Term Facility and Revolving Facility by up to $300.0 million in the aggregate; however, the lenders are not obligated to do so.

The loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the election of the Company, at (i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined as the greater of (a) Bank of America's "prime rate", (b) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the reserve adjusted London interbank offering rate for a one-month Eurocurrency borrowing plus 1.00%) plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the London interbank offering rate for Eurocurrency borrowings, adjusted for statutory reserves ("Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate") plus the Applicable Rate. The initial Applicable Rate for Alternate Base Rate borrowings is 0.75% and for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate borrowings is 1.75%. After September 2019, the Applicable Rate will vary depending upon the Company's leverage ratio. The minimum Applicable Rate for Alternate Base Rate borrowings will be 0.25% and the maximum will be 1.00%. The minimum Applicable Rate for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate borrowings will be 1.25% and the maximum will be 2.00%. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the Revolving Facility, which will be a minimum of 0.20% and a maximum of 0.35%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.



The Credit Agreement provides that loans under the Term Facility shall be repaid in equal quarterly installments of $21.9 million, commencing on September 30, 2019 and continuing on each three-month anniversary thereafter, subject to the application of prepayments to quarterly installments. The outstanding balance of the term loans will be due in May 2024.

The Credit Agreement contains the following financial maintenance covenants: (i) a maximum total leverage ratio not to exceed 4.50:1.00 (stepped down to 4.25:1.00 starting with the fiscal quarter ending on September 2020, with a further step down to 4.00:1.00 starting with the fiscal quarter ending on September 2021, followed by a final step down to 3.75:1.00 starting with the fiscal quarter ending on September 2022) and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had a remaining borrowing capacity of $750.0 million under the Revolving Facility and we were in compliance with all financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Debt Issuance Costs

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement, in May 2019, we incurred approximately $9.7 million of debt issuance costs of which $9.6 million were initially capitalized within long-term debt, net of current, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, when we amended and restated the Credit Agreement, we wrote-off previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.5 million within gain/(loss)/gain on investments and other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, which resulted in a remaining $14.6 million of previously unamortized costs. We will amortize all of these costs over the term of the Credit Agreement. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $3.8 million and $4.1$1.3 million, respectively, were recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

7.55% Senior Debentures

In April 1998, we issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.55% senior debentures due 2028. The indentures governing these debentures, as amended, contain limited restrictions on us.



Interest Rate Swaps

We have entered into amortizing interest rate swaps (“Swaps”) in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. Under the Swaps, we agree to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement. The floating rates in our Swaps are based on the one-month London interbank offering rate.rate ("LIBOR"). The notional balances, terms and maturities of our Swaps are designed to have the effect of fixing the rate of interest on at least 50% of the principal balance of our debt as fixed rate.senior term debt.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Swaps have a combined remaining notional balance of $1.3 billion, a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.05%2.08% (rates range from 1.03%0.66% to 2.98%), and scheduled terminations through December 2025. Notional balances under our Swaps are scheduled to increase and decrease based on our expectations of the level of variable rate debt to be in effect in future periods. Currently, we have scheduled notional amounts of between $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion through September 2021, then $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion through August 2022, and $416.0$496.8 million and $400.0$465.0 million thereafter untilthrough December 2025. Approximate weighted average fixed interest rates for the aforementioned time intervalsperiods are 2.39%2.51%, 2.64%, and 2.95%2.61%, respectively.

We have designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges. The estimated fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets as well as accounts payable and other assets andaccrued expenses or other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30,March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of these cash flow hedges resulted in a liability of $96.3 million of which $6.2 million was recorded within accounts payable and other accrued expenses. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of certain of these cash flow hedges resulted in an asset of $1.2$0.6 million recorded within prepaid and other current assets, as well as a liability of $58.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of certain of these cash flow hedges resulted in an asset of $13.3 million, of which $0.6 million was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets, as well as a liability of $15.2 million.$47.7 million recorded within other liabilities.

Unrealized losses of $8.1$36.9 million (net of $2.7$12.3 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized gains of $2.5$12.2 million (net of $0.8$4.1 million in deferred taxes) for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive loss related to the Swaps. Unrealized losses of $41.4 million (net of $13.8 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized gains of $10.8 million (net of $3.6 million in deferred taxes) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive loss related to the Swaps.


Note 6 – Leases

We have entered into renewable commitment agreements for certain real estate facilities and equipment, such as computers and printers, which we individually classify as either operating or finance leases. We possess contractual options to renew certain leases ranging from 2 months to 5 years atAs a time, as well as, in certain instances, contractual options to terminate leases with varying notification requirements and potential termination fees. Asresult of September 30, 2019, our leases with initial terms greater than twelve months had remaining lease terms of up to 13 years.

Note 76 – Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable.

The market approach is applied for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value balances are classified based on the observability of those inputs.

A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Level 2 measurements utilize observable inputs in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or, quoted prices in markets that are not active.

In estimating fair value, we used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.



Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of certificates of depositdeposits that are pledged for various letters of credit/bank guarantees secured by us, escrow accounts due to acquisitions and divestitures, andas well as short-term investments within our deferred compensation plan trust. We deem the carrying value to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the nature of these instruments.

Other Investments

Other investments isare currently comprised of a minority equity investment in a foreign enterprise which we measure at cost and adjust to fair value on a quarterly basis when there are observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical, or similar, investments. Changes in fair value are recorded within gain/(loss)/gain on investments and other, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Contingent Consideration

The fair value of our contingent consideration was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which relies on significant assumptions and estimates including discount rates and future market conditions, among others.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of debt was estimated based on the current rates available to us for similar debt of the same remaining maturities and consideration of our default and credit risk.

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair values of the Swaps were estimated based on market-value quotes received from the counterparties to the agreements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $35.6 million in other intangible assets, net, which were all incurred in the second quarter of 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, non-cash impairment charges of $0.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, were recorded in property and equipment, net related to capitalized software. The current year impairments are primarily due to ongoing business transformation activities of our appraisal management company within our Underwriting & Workflow Solutions (“UWS”) segment. The impairments were derived using an undiscounted cash flow methodology. The impairments within other intangible assets, net include $32.3 million for client lists and $3.3 million for licenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we also recorded a $1.5 million non-cash impairment charge in investment in affiliates, net, which is included within gain/(loss) on investments and other, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with thecertain acquisitions in 2017, acquisitions of Myriad Development, Inc. and an insignificant business, we entered into contingent consideration agreements for up to $20.5 million in cash by 2022 upon the achievement of certain revenue targets ending in fiscal year 2021. These contingent payments were originally recorded at a fair value of $6.2 million using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. In connection with the 2019 acquisition of National Tax Search, LLC (“NTS”), we entered into a contingent consideration agreement for up to $7.5 million in cash based upon certain revenue targets in fiscal years 2020 and 2021. This contingent consideration has been initially assessed with no fair value as of March 31, 2020 using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The contingent payments are fair-valuedremeasured at fair value quarterly, and changes are recorded within gain/(loss)/gain on investments and other, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we decreased the fair value of our contingent considerationsconsideration by $0.2$0.8 million and recorded the gain in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Property Insights

Our property insights solutions combine our patented predictive analytics andwith our proprietary and contributed data to enable our clients to improve customer acquisition and retention, detect and prevent fraud, improve mortgage transaction cycle time and cost efficiency, identify real estate trends and neighborhood characteristics, track market performance, and increase market share. Our data is comprised of real estate information, withincorporating crime, site inspection, neighborhood, document images, and other information from proprietary sources. We also provideoffer verification of applicant income, identity and certain employment verification services. We typically license data in one of two forms: bulk data licensing and transactional licensing. Operating revenue for bulk data licensing contracts that provide a stand-ready obligation or include substantive updates to the intellectual property is recognized ratably over the contractual term; otherwise, operating revenue is recognized upon delivery. For transactional licensing, we recognize operating revenue based on usage.

Insurance and Spatial Solutions

Our insurance and spatial solutions provide originators and property and casualty insurers the solutions requiredability to more effectively locate, assess and manage property-level assets and risks through location-based data and analytics. We also provide cloud-based property claims workflow technology for property and casualty insurers. The licensed intellectual property data is generally provided to our clients on a subscription or usage basis. For subscription contracts, operating revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual term once initial delivery has occurred. For contracts to provide a license to data which is delivered via report or data file, operating revenue is recognized when the client obtains control of the products, which is upon delivery.

Property Tax Solutions

Our property tax solutions are built from aggregated property tax information from over 20,000 taxing authorities. We use this information to advise mortgage lenders and servicers of the property tax payment status of loans in their portfolio and to monitor that status over the life of the loans. If a mortgage lender or servicer requires tax payments to be impounded on behalf of its borrowers, we can also facilitate the transfer of these funds to the taxing authorities and provide the lender or servicer with payment confirmation. Property tax processing revenues are primarily comprised of periodic loan fees and life-of-loan fees. For periodic fee arrangements, we generate monthly fees at a contracted rate for as long as we service the loan. For life-of-loanlife-


of-loan fee arrangements, we charge a one-time fee when the loan is set-up in our tax servicing system. Life-of-loan fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected service period of 10 years and adjusted for early loan cancellation. Revenue recognition rates of loan portfolios are regularly analyzed and adjusted monthly to reflect current trends.

Valuation Solutions

Our valuation solutions represent property valuation-related data driven services and analytics combined with collateral valuation workflow technologies which assist our clients in assessing risk of loss using both traditional and alternative forms of property valuation, driving process efficiencies as well as ensuring compliance with lender and governmental regulations. We provide collateral information technology and solutions that automate property appraisal ordering, tracking, documentation and review for lender compliance with government regulations. Revenue for the property appraisal service is recognized when the appraisal service is performed and delivered to the client. In addition, to the extent that we provide continuous access to the hosted software platform, we recognize operating revenue over the term of the arrangement.

Credit Solutions

Our credit solutions provide credit and income verification services to the mortgage and automotive industries. We provide comprehensive information, typically in the form of a report, about credit history, income verification, employment verification, and home address history. We normalize the data to provide a broad range of advanced business information solutions designed to reduce risk and improve business performance to mortgage and automotive lenders. Operating revenue is recognized when the report or information is delivered to the client.

Flood Data ServicesSolutions

Our flood data servicessolutions provide flood zone determinations primarily to mortgage lenders in accordance with US Federal legislation passed in 1994, which requires that most lenders obtain a determination of the current flood zone status at the time each loan is originated and obtain applicable updates during the life of the loan if contracted to do so. We also provide flood zone determinations to insurance companies. We generally recognize operating revenue upon delivery of the initial determination. If contracted for life of loan monitoring, we recognize operating revenue over the estimated service period, as adjusted for early loan cancellation.


Contract Costs

Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill client contracts are recognized as an asset. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $9.5$10.3 million of current deferred contract costs which are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets, as well as $21.4$23.2 million of long-term deferred contract costs which are presented in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had $9.7$9.8 million of current deferred contract costs and $20.8$23.1 million of long-term deferred contract costs. Our deferred contract costs primarily include certain set-up and acquisition costs related to property tax solutions, which amortize ratably over an expected 10-year life, adjusted for early loan cancellations. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, we recorded amortization associated with deferred contract costs of $3.4$3.7 million and $3.8$3.1 million, respectively, and $9.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.respectively.

Contract Liabilities

We record a contract liability when amounts are invoiced, which is generally prior to the satisfaction of the performance obligation. For property tax solutions, we invoice upfront fees to clients for services to be performed over time. For property insights and insurance and spatial solutions we invoice quarterly and annually, commencing upon execution of the contracts or at the beginning of the license term, as applicable.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $853.9$910.0 million in contract liabilities compared to $833.0$884.9 million as of December 31, 2018.2019. The overall change of $20.9$25.1 million in contract liability balances are primarily due to $453.9$173.4 million of new deferred billings in the current year, partially offset by $433.9$147.1 million of operating revenue recognized, of which $253.6$100.2 million related to contracts previously deferred, and other increasesdecreases of $0.9$1.2 million.



Remaining Performance Obligations

The majority of our arrangements are between one and three years with a significant portion being one year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable and fixed arrangements greater than one year, as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 we had $968.4 million$1.0 billion of remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 9%26% percent of this remaining revenue backlog in 2019, 31% in 2020, 21%26% in 2021, 17% in 2022 and 39%31% thereafter. See further discussion of performance obligations in Note 1 - Basis for Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.



Note 98 – Share-Based Compensation

We currently issue equity awards under the CoreLogic, Inc. 2018 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting held in May 2018. The Plan includes the ability to grant share-based instruments such as restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”)RSUs, PBRSUs, and stock options. Prior to the approval of the Plan, we issued share-based awards under the CoreLogic, Inc. 2011 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended, which was preceded by the CoreLogic, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan. The Plan provides for up to 15,139,084 shares of the Company's common stock to be available for award grants.

We have primarily utilized RSUs and PBRSUs as our share-based compensation instruments for employees and directors. The fair value of any share-based compensation instrument grant is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant and is recognized as compensation expense over its vesting period.

Restricted Stock Units

With respect to matters where we have determineddetermine that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we have recordedrecord a liability representing our best estimate of the financial exposure based on known facts. For matters where a settlement has been reached, we have recordedrecord the expected amount of such settlements. With respect to audits, investigations or lawsuits that are ongoing, although their final dispositions are not yet determinable, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. The actual outcome of such matters could differ materially from management’s estimates. We record expenses for legal fees as incurred.

Fair Credit Reporting Act Class Actions
    
In July 2017, Rental Property Solutions, LLC (“RPS”) was named as a defendant in Claudinne Feliciano, et. al., v. CoreLogic SafeRent, LLC, a putative class action lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The named plaintiff alleges that RPS prepared a background screening report about her that contained a record of a New York Housing Court action without noting that the action had previously been dismissed. On this basis, she seeks damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the New York Fair Credit Reporting Act on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated consumers with respect to reports issued during the period of July 2015 to the present. In July 2019, the District Court issued an order certifying a class of approximately 2,000 consumers. We have filed a petition for review of the certification order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The petition is pending.

Appeals, which was denied in November 2019.

Separation

Following the Separation, we are responsible for a portion of First American Financial Corporation's (“FAFC”("FAFC") contingent and other corporate liabilities. In the Separation and Distribution Agreement we entered into in connection with the Separation, (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”), we agreed with FAFC to share equally in the cost of resolution of a small number of corporate-level lawsuits, including certain consolidated securities litigation matters from which we have since been dropped. There were no liabilities incurred in connection with the consolidated securities matters. Responsibility to manage each case has been assigned to either FAFC or us, with the managing party required to update the other party regularly and consult with each other prior to certain important decisions, such as settlement. The managing party will also have primary responsibility for determining the ultimate total liability, if any, related to the applicable case. We will record our share of any such liability when the responsible party determines a reserve is necessary. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 0 reserves were considered necessary by the applicable responsible party.necessary.



In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our predecessor, The First American Corporation's (“FAC”("FAC") financial services business, with FAFC and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of FAC's information solutions business with us. Specifically, each party will, and will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its respective affiliates and subsidiaries and each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with the liabilities each such party assumed or retained pursuant to the Separation.

Note 1110 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before equity in earnings/(losses) of affiliates and income taxes was 26.6%28.0% and 47.9%32.9% for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and 1.4% and 26.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to 2018,the three months ended 2019, the decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a one-time charge of $12.5 million for the transition tax (in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) which wasnonrecurring charges recorded in the prior year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when comparedrelated to 2018, the decrease in the effective incomeuncertain tax rate was primarily due to a $15.3 million discrete benefit recorded during the current year for the release of state tax reserves and a prior year one-time charge of $12.5 million for the transition tax.benefits.

We are currently under examination for the years 2010 through 2012 and 2016, by the US Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), our primary taxing authority, and for other years by various stateother taxing authorities. It is reasonably possible the amount of the unrecognized benefits, as well as the valuation allowance with respect to certain unrecognized tax positionsattributes, could be significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months andimpacted which would have an impact on our net income. Currently,In the next 12 months we expect expiration of statutes of limitations within the next twelve months, for which we have taxon reserves recorded of approximately $0.9$1.3 million asand the release of September 30, 2019.reserves and allowances of approximately $17 million to $20 million upon the conclusion of the IRS examination for years 2010 through 2012.

Overview of Business Environment and Company Developments

Business EnvironmentCOVID-19

The global coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the mitigation efforts by governments to attempt to control its spread have adversely impacted the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. As there is no comparable recent event that provides guidance to the effects or duration of COVID-19, we are not able to predict the long-term impact on our business at this time. Most states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease. Our first priority remains ensuring the safety and health of our employees, clients, and others with whom we partner in conducting our business. We have deployed risk mitigation activities, safety practices, and business continuity strategies so that we can continue offering our clients consistent service offerings while continuing to protect our employees.

The volume of US mortgage loan originations serves as a key market driver for more than half of our business. We believe the volume and related volatility of real estate and mortgage transactions is primarily affected by real estate prices, the availability of funds for mortgage loans, mortgage interest rates, housing supply, employment levels, actions by the Federal Reserve, and the overall state of the US economy. Mortgage interest rates are extremely low by historical standards, and are resulting in higher demand for refinance activity, while the purchase market has been adversely impacted by reduced construction and sales of new and existing homes, and more recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic instability. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we experienced unfavorable business and revenue impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic of approximately $6 million. As of March 31, 2020 we did not experience any significant impacts to our financial condition, cash flows, control environment, or any related disclosures.

We will continue to monitor our business trends, financial condition, liquidity, and are taking steps to manage our operating cash flows, by prioritizing our investments, and evaluating our capital needs and activities. Our liquidity as of March 31, 2020 consisted primarily of $152.8 million of cash and $750.0 million of unused committed capacity under our revolving credit facility, and we are in compliance will all financial covenants.

Business Environment

We believe mortgage origination unit volumes wereincreased by approximately 20%35% to 25% higher40% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 relative to the same period in 2018,2019, primarily due to a continued low interest rate environment during which the 10 year US Treasury yield andhigher mortgage interest rates significantly declined. As a result, refinance volumes activity has strengthened andresulting from lower interest rates. For 2020, we now expect full-year 20192020 mortgage unit volumes to be approximately 8%flat relative to 10%2019 levels as lower interest rates are expected to enable higher than 2018 levels.refinance volumes; however, we anticipate mortgage purchase volumes to decline due to COVID-19.

We generate the majority of our operating revenues from clients with operations in the US residential real estate, mortgage origination, and mortgage servicing markets. Approximately 31% and 32%29% of our operating revenues for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, were generated from our top ten clients, who consist of the largest US mortgage originators and servicers. None of our clients individually accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 nor 2018. Approximately 30% and 32% of our operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were generated from our top ten clients with none of our clients individually accounting for greater than 10% of our operating revenues during these periods.2019.

While the majority of our revenues are generated in the US, continued strengthening of the US dollar versus other currencies in 20192020 unfavorably impacted the translation of the financial results of our international operating revenues by $8.2$2.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

Dividends

In April 2020, the Board of Directors announced a cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.22 per share of common stock to be paid in June 2020. We paid a cash dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock in January, 2020 to shareholders of record on the close of business January 10, 2020.

("Location") for $15.0$11.5 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments. NTSLocation is included as a component of our UWSPIRM segment. See Note 1312 - Acquisitions for further discussion.

Technology Transformation

In September 2018, we announced the adoption of the Google Cloud Platform (“GCP”) as a foundational element of our ongoing technology transformation program to further expand infrastructure capabilities and drive efficiencies. Successful deployment of this technology has already begun and we expect to complete the initial transformation phase of GCP by December 2020. After the initial deployment, we will continue transitioning our technology over the foreseeable future on an opportunistic basis. As we transition to GCP, we will continue to leverage the capabilities of the cloud platform to achieve best-in-class system performance and reliability and to facilitate the deployment of unique business insights fueled by gold-standard data, information, and analytics. Additionally, we expect to realize cost efficiencies and enhanced security as we transition.

Business Exits & Transformation

In December 2018, we announced theour intent to exit a loan origination software unit and ourits remaining legacy default management related platforms, as well as accelerate ouran appraisal management company (“AMC”("AMC") transformation program. We believe these actions will expandhave expanded our overall profit margins and provide for enhanced long-term organic growth trends. In September 2019, we divested our default technology-relatedmanagement related platforms and received proceeds of $3.8 million and expect themillion. The AMC transformation to bewas concluded byin December 31, 2019.

Productivity and Cost Management

In line withdiscussion of our on-going commitment to operational excellence and margin expansion, we are targeting a cost reduction of at least $20.0 million in 2019. Savings are expected to be realized through the reduction of operating costs, selling, general and administrative costs, outsourcing certain business process functions, consolidation of facilities and other operational improvements.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Total cash provided by operating activities was approximately $247.1$112.9 million and $252.3$64.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The decreaseincrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lowerhigher net income from continuing operations, as adjusted for non-cash activities, offset byand favorable changes in working capital items.

Investing Activities. Total cash used in investing activities was approximately $96.9$35.5 million and $202.630.7 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The decreaseincrease was primarily related to lowerhigher net cash paid for acquisitions of $127.7$11.8 million, lower net inflows from investments of $1.2 million, lower proceeds from the prior-year sale of a business-line of $1.1 million, partially offset by higherlower investments in technology and innovation of $26.6$9.2 million.

Financing Activities. Total cash used in financing activities was approximately $147.2$25.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, which was primarily comprised of repaymentsdividends paid of long-term debt of $1.8 billion, debt issuance costs of $9.6 million, share repurchases of $61.6$17.4 million, net outflows from share-based compensation-related transactions of $1.3$5.1 million, partially offset by proceeds fromshare repurchases of $2.4 million, and repayments of long-term debt of $1.8 billion.$0.7 million. Total cash used in financing activities was approximately $74.6$32.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, which was primarily comprised of repayment of long-term debt of $114.6$25.6 million, and share repurchases of $87.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from long-term debt of $120.1 million and net proceedsoutflows from share-based compensation-related transactions of $7.0$5.8 million, and contingent consideration payments of $0.6 million.

Financing and Financing Capacity

TotalWe had total debt outstanding gross, wasof $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, for theboth periods as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019. Our significant debt instruments and borrowing capacity are described below.

Credit Agreement

In May 2019, we amended and restated our credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.8 billion term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), and a $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Term Facility matures and the Revolving Facility expires onin May 31, 2024. The Revolving Facility includes a $100.0 million multi-currency revolving sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Agreement also provides for the ability to increase the Term Facility and Revolving Facility by up to $300.0 million in the aggregate; however, the lenders are not obligated to do so. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $750.0 million and were in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants of the Credit Agreement. See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for further discussion.



Interest Rate Swaps
 
We have entered into amortizing Swapsinterest rate swaps (“Swaps”) in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. Under the Swaps, we agree to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement. The floating rates in our Swaps are based on the one-month London interbank offering rate. The notional balances, terms and maturities of our Swaps are designed to have the effect of fixing the rate of interest on at least 50% of the principal balance of our debt as fixed rate.senior term debt.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Swaps have a combined remaining notional balance of $1.3 billion, a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.05%2.08% (rates range from 1.03%0.66% to 2.98%), and scheduled terminations through December 2025. Notional balances under our Swaps are scheduled to increase and decrease over their contract lengths based on our expectations of the level of variable rate debt to be in effect in future periods. Currently, we have scheduled notional amounts of between $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion through September 2021, then $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion through August 2022, and $416.0$496.8 million and $400.0$465.0 million thereafter untilthrough December 2025. Approximate weighted average fixed interest rates for the aforementioned time intervalsperiods are 2.39%2.51%, 2.64%, and 2.95%2.61%, respectively.



Liquidity and Capital Strategy

We expect that cash flow from operations and current unrestricted cash balances, together with available borrowings under our Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to meet operating requirements through the next twelve months. Cash available from operations, however, could be affected by any general economic downturn, such as financial impacts related to COVID-19, or any decline or adverse changes in our business such as a loss of clients, market and orchallenges collecting payments from clients, competitive pressures, or other significant change in our business environment.

We strive to pursue a balanced approach to capital allocation and have recently initiated a dividend distribution. We will consideralso continue to evaluate the repurchase of common shares, the retirementmanagement of outstanding debt, investments and the pursuit of strategic acquisitions and investments on an opportunistic basis.

In October 2018, the Board of Directors established a new share repurchase authorization of up to $500.0 million of our common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we repurchased 0.7less than 0.1 million shares of our common stock for $32.6$2.4 million. See Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds - Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers for further discussion.

In April 2020, the Board of Directors announced a cash dividend to common shareholders of $0.22 per share of common stock to be paid in June 2020. We paid a cash dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock in January 2020 to shareholders of record on the close of business January 10, 2020. We expect to make regular quarterly dividend payments for the foreseeable future. The timing, declaration, and payment of future dividends, however, falls within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s financial condition and earnings, the capital requirements of our businesses, restrictions imposed by applicable law, and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant from time to time.

Availability of Additional Capital

Our access to additional capital fluctuates as market conditions change. There may be times when the private capital markets and the public debt or equity markets lack sufficient liquidity or when our securities cannot be sold at attractive prices, or at all, in which case we would not be able to access capital from these sources. Based on current market conditions and our financial condition (including our ability to satisfy the conditions contained in our debt instruments that are required to be satisfied to permit us to incur additional indebtedness), we believe that we have the ability to effectively access these liquidity sources for new borrowings ifborrowings. However, continued general economic instability, such as financial impacts resulting from COVID-19 which has caused, and when needed formay continue to cause, disruptions in the next twelve months. However,financial markets or a weakening of our financial condition, including a significant decrease in our profitability, or cash flows, or a material increase in our leverage, could adversely affect our ability to access these markets on acceptable terms or at all and/or increase our cost of borrowings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For additional information with respect to our critical accounting policies, which are those that could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management, see Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019. Management believes there have been no material changes to this information. See also Note 1 – Basis for Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for updates on our accounting policies over lease accounting.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our primary exposure to market risk relates to interest-rate risk associated with certain financial instruments. We monitor our risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge some of these risks.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had approximately $1.7 billion in gross, long-term debt outstanding, predominately all of which was variable-interest-rate debt. An increase in interest rates could increase the costs of our variable-interest-rate debt obligations. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness.

To manage our interest rate risk we have entered into Swaps in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. Under the Swaps, we agree to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement. The notional balances, terms and maturities of our Swaps are currently designed to have the effect of fixing the rate of interest on at least 50% of the principal balance of our debt as fixed rate.senior term debt. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the combined remaining notional balance of the Swaps was $1.3 billion, with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.05%2.08% (rates range from 1.03%0.66% to 2.98%), and scheduled terminations through December 2025. Notional balances under our Swaps are scheduled to increase and decrease over their contract lengths based on our expectations of the level of variable rate debt to be in effect in future periods. AAfter giving effect to the Swaps, a hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in interest rates would result in an approximately $0.9$1.0 million change to interest expense on our existing indebtedness as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020, on a quarterly basis.

Although we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of our operations in certain foreign countries, the foreign exchange exposure related to these operations, in the aggregate, is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, were effective, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item  1.  Legal Proceedings.

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 1 - Basis for Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 109 – Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item  1A.  Risk Factors.

We have described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, the primary risks related to our business, and we may periodically update those risks for material developments. Those risks are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks that we believe are material to us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as general economic conditions, geopolitical events and employment relations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business. Please read the cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties our business faces. We are including one supplemental risk factor below, which disclosure should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ThereThe extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or the perception of its effects, will impact our business depends on future developments that are largely without precedent.
The global coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the mitigation efforts by governments to attempt to control its spread have been no materialadversely impacted the global economy, leading to reduced lending activities and disruptions and volatility in the global capital markets. Many of our clients, and therefore certain of our businesses and revenues, are sensitive to negative changes in general economic conditions. With respect to the Risk Factorshousing market in particular, although the current interest rate environment is conducive to mortgage activity, other market factors could adversely impact sales of new and existing homes and other activities relevant to the markets we serve. Risks related to the economy and the housing market generally are described in our risk factor titled “Our revenue is affected by the strength of the economy, interest rate environment and the housing market generally” under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Further deteriorations in economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, could lead to a decline in demand for our products and services and could negatively impact our business. We cannot at this time predict the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic impact, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. For example, we may experience operational issues or financial losses due to a number of factors, including increased cyber fraud risk related to COVID-19, a volatility in mortgage and refinancing transactions, disruptions to operations as a result of issues with our outsource providers or data sources, and concerns related to the ability to collect payments on a timely basis from clients. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of these and the other risks described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and more challenging to predict, as there are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of a global pandemic may have.



Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we did not issue any unregistered shares of our common stock.stock in any transaction that was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

In October 2018, the Board of Directors canceled all prior repurchase authorizations and established a new share repurchase authorization of up to $500.0 million. As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020, we have $416.4$388.9 million in value of shares of common stock (inclusive of commissions and fees) available to be repurchased under the plan. The stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date and repurchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.

Under our Credit Agreement, our stock repurchase capacity is restricted to $150.0 million per fiscal year, with the ability to undertake an additional amount of repurchases in such fiscal year provided that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the stock repurchase, our total leverage ratio does not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. While we continue to preserve the capacity to execute stock repurchases under our existing share repurchase authorization, going forward we will strive to pursue a balanced approach to capital allocation and will consider the repurchase of shares of our common stock, the retirement of outstanding debt and the pursuit of strategic acquisitions on an opportunistic basis.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we repurchased 0.7less than 0.1 million shares of our common stock in an open market purchasespurchase pursuant to the terms of our stock repurchase authorization.
