Recent Developments
Pending AcquisitionTermination of Stewart Merger Agreement and Payment of Reverse Termination Fee
On March 18, 2018, we signed a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Stewart Information Services Corporation ("Stewart") (NYSE: STC) (the "Stewart Merger"). The material termsOn, September 9, 2019, we entered into a mutual Termination Agreement with Stewart (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, due to the Federal Trade Commission's issuance of an administrative complaint seeking to block the merger. In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, and progresswe paid to Stewart, on September 12, 2019, the StewartReverse Termination Fee (as defined in the Merger through February 2019 are set forthAgreement) consisting of $50 million in our Annual Report.
On June 10, 2019, we exercised our second option to extendcash, which is included within other operating expenses in the closing dateConsolidated Statements of the transaction an additional three months to September 18, 2019.
We continue to work with the Federal Trade Commission and the New York State Department of Financial Services to seek approval of the proposed acquisition. If the approvals are obtained, we remain confident that the Stewart acquisition can create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders.
The closing of the Stewart Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including federal and state regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Earnings.
Note Receivable from Cannae
In November 2017, in conjunction with the split-off of our former portfolio company investments into a separate company, Cannae Holdings, Inc. ("Cannae"), we issued to Cannae a revolver note (the "Cannae Revolver") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million. Cannae is considered a related party to FNF.
The Cannae Revolver accrues interest quarterly at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and matures on the five-year anniversary from the date of issuance. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion.
On February 7, 2019, Cannae borrowed $100 million from FNF under the Cannae Revolver. On June 12, 2019, Cannae repaid to FNF the entire $100 million outstanding amount under the Cannae Revolver.
On July 5, 2019, Cannae borrowed $100 million from FNF under the Cannae Revolver. On September 11, 2019, Cannae repaid to FNF the entire $100 million outstanding amount under the Cannae Revolver.
We account for the Cannae Revolver as a financing receivable. Interest income is recorded ratably in periods in which principal is outstanding. Uncollectible financing receivables are written off or impaired when, based on all available information, it is probable that a loss has occurred.
Income Tax
Income tax expense was $86$59 million and $22$51 million in the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $151$210 million and $53$104 million in the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income tax expense as a

percentage of earnings before income taxes was 24%19% and 8%18% in the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 24%23% and 13%15% in the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before taxes in the 2019 periods from the comparable periods in 2018 was primarily attributable to a change in tax estimate in the three months ended June 30, 2018 relating to the timing of payments for, and tax rate applicable to, our tax liability resulting from the decrease in statutory premium reserve associated with the redomestication of certain of our title underwriters.

Earnings Per Share     
Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders in a given period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain stock options, shares of restricted stock, convertible debt instruments and certain other convertible share based payments which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.
Options or other instruments which provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no0 antidilutive instruments outstanding during the three or six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 or JuneSeptember 30, 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to the accounting and reporting for leases by lessees. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities resulting from applying the fair value measurement, to be reflected on the lessee's balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements which allows entities the option to adopt this standard using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity at the adoption date and include required disclosures for prior periods.
We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and recorded lease right-of-use assets ("Lease assets") of $421 million and liabilities for future discounted lease payment obligations ("Lease liabilities") of $437 million at the date of adoption. The adoption also resulted in a decrease of $9 million and $25 million to our Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. There was no impact to opening equity as a result of the adoption. We elected to apply the following package of practical expedients on a consistent basis permitting entities not to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the amended guidance.  
See Note K. Leases for further discussion of our leasing arrangements and related accounting.
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326).  The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to accounting for credit impairment of financial instruments. The primary updates include the introduction of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected rather than incurred losses and amendments to the accounting for impairment of fixed maturity securities available for sale. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are still evaluatingfinalizing the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and havedisclosures. Based on a preliminary analysis performed, the overall effect of Topic 326 is estimated not yet concluded on its effects.to be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. We do not plan to early adopt thethis standard.

On October 22, 2019, a lawsuit was filed against Chicago Title Company and Chicago Title (collectively, the “Chicago Title Company”) styled as, Ovation Fin. Holdings 2 LLC, Ovation Fund Mgmt. II, LLC, Banc of California, N.A. v. Chicago Title Ins. Co., Chicago Title Co., Case No. 3:19-cv-02031-GPC-KSC, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.  Plaintiffs allege they are investors solicited by Gina Champion-Cain to provide funds that Ms. Champion-Cain represented were to be used for high-interest, short-term loans to parties seeking to acquire California alcoholic beverage licenses.  Under California state law, alcoholic beverage license applicants are required to escrow an amount equal to the license purchase price while their applications remain pending with the State.  Plaintiffs allege that the Chicago Title Company participated with Ms. Champion-Cain and her entities in a fraud scheme involving an escrow account maintained by the Chicago Title Company into which the investors’ funds were deposited.  The investors allege they were defrauded out of more than $75 million, and also seek consequential, treble, and punitive damages.  The Chicago Title Company is investigating the allegations and has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit but plans to do so on, or before the due date. No specific known claims reserve has been established as any amount of specific loss is not estimable.
We continually updateupdate loss reserve estimates as new information becomes known, new loss patterns emerge or as other contributing factors are considered and incorporated into the analysis of reserve for claim losses. Estimating future title loss payments is difficult because of the complex nature of title claims, the long periods of time over which claims are paid, significantly varying dollar amounts of individual claims and other factors.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in the process and to the judgment used by management, the ultimate liability may be greater or less than our current reserves. If actual claims loss development varies from what is currently expected and is not offset by other factors, it is possible that additional reserve adjustments may be required in future periods in order to maintain our recorded reserve within a reasonable range of our actuary's central estimate.

Our Level 2 fair value measures for preferred securities and fixed maturity securities available for sale are provided by a third-party pricing service. We utilize one1 firm for our preferred stock and our bond portfolios. The pricing service is a leading global provider of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. The inputs utilized in these pricing methodologies include observable measures such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. We review the pricing methodologies for all of our Level 2 securities by obtaining an understanding of the valuation models and assumptions used by the third-party as well as independently comparing the resulting prices to other publicly available measures of fair value and internally developed models. The pricing methodologies used by the relevant third-party pricing services are as follows:
U.S. government and agencies: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers.
State and political subdivisions: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers. Factors considered include relevant trade information, dealer quotes and other relevant market data.
Corporate debt securities: These securities are valued based on dealer quotes and related market trading activity. Factors considered include the bond's yield, its terms and conditions, or any other feature which may influence its risk and thus marketability, as well as relative credit information and relevant sector news.
Foreign government bonds: These securities are valued based on a discounted cash flow model incorporating observable market inputs such as available broker quotes and yields of comparable securities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities: These securities are comprised of commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities. They are valued based on available trade information, dealer quotes, cash flows, relevant indices and market data for similar assets in active markets.
Preferred securities: Preferred securities are valued by calculating the appropriate spread over a comparable U.S. Treasury security. Inputs include benchmark quotes and other relevant market data.
Our Level 3 fair value measures for our other long term investment are provided by a third-party pricing service. We utilize one1 firm to value our Level 3 other long-term investment. The pricing service is a leading global provider of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. We utilize the income approach and a discounted cash flow analysis in determining the fair value of our Level 3 other long-term investment. The primary unobservable input utilized in this pricing methodology is the discount rate used which is determined based on underwriting yield, credit spreads, yields on benchmark indices and comparable public company debt. The discount rate used in our determination of the fair value of our Level 3 other long-term investment as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 was a range of 7.3%7.1% - 7.9%7.5% and a weighted-average of 7.5%7.2%. Based on the total fair value of our Level 3 other long-term investment as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, changes in the discount rate utilized will not result in a fair value significantly different than the amount recorded.
Our Level 3 fair value measures for our corporate debt securities relate to multiple investments which are considered immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

Transfers into or out of the Level 3 fair value category occur when unobservable inputs become more or less significant to the fair value measurement or upon a change in valuation technique.  For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and three months ended 2018, respectively, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 are not considered material. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were based on changes in significance of unobservable inputs used associated with a change in the valuation technique used for certain of the Company’s corporate debt securities and are not considered material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. 
Substantially all of the unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other financial instruments, net (excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income relate to fixed maturity securities which are considered Level 2 fair value measures.
The carrying amounts of short-term investments, accounts receivable and notes receivable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and/or short time period since consummation. Additional information regarding the fair value of our investment portfolio is included in Note D. Investments.

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because of the potential for prepayment on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, they are not categorized by contractual maturity.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our unsecured notes payable was approximately $903$913 million, which was $53$63 million higher than its carrying value, excluding $12 million of net unamortized debt issuance costs and discount. The fair values of our unsecured notes payable are based on established market prices for the securities on JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and are considered Level 2 financial liabilities.
On August 13, 2018, we completed an offering of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% notes due August 2028 (the "4.50% Notes"), pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 4.50% Notes were priced at 99.252% of par to yield 4.594% annual interest. We pay interest on the 4.50% Notes semi-annually on the 15th of February and August, beginning February 15, 2019. The 4.50% Notes contain customary covenants and events of default for investment grade public debt, which primarily relate to failure to make principal or interest payments. On May 16, 2019, we completed an offering to exchange the 4.50% Notes for substantially identical notes registered pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "4.50% Notes Exchange"). There were no material changes to the terms of the 4.50% Notes as a result of the 4.50% Notes Exchange and all holders of the 4.50% Notes accepted the offer to exchange.
On June 25, 2013, FNFwe entered into an agreement to amend and restate our existing $800 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 16, 2012 with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and the other agents party thereto (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On April 27, 2017, the Existing Credit Agreement was amended (the "Restated Credit Agreement").The material terms of the Restated Credit Agreement are set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note F — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal and Regulatory Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. With respect to our title insurance operations, this customary litigation includes but is not limited to a wide variety of cases arising out of or related to title and escrow claims, for which we make provisions through our loss reserves. Additionally, like other companies, our ordinary course litigation includes a number of class action and purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to aspects of our operations. We believe that no actions, other than the matters discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation incidental to our business.
We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively “legal proceedings”) on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts and which represents our best estimate has been recorded. Our accrual for legal and regulatory matters was $12 million and $11 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. None of the amounts we have currently recorded are considered to be material to our financial condition individually or in the aggregate. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, at present we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
In a class action captioned, Patterson, et al. v. Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, et al., Case No. GD 03-021176, originally filed on October 27, 2003, and pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, plaintiffs allege the named Company underwriters violated Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (“UTPCPL”) by failing to provide premium discounts in accordance with filed rates in refinancing transactions. Contrary to rulings in similar federal court cases that considered the rate rule and agreed with the Company’s position, the court held that the rate rule should be interpreted such that an institutional mortgage in the public record is a “proxy” for prior title insurance entitling a consumer to a discount rate when refinancing when there is a mortgage of record within the number of years required by the rate rule. The rate rule requires sufficient evidence of a prior policy, and because not all institutional mortgages were insured, the Company’s position is that a recorded first mortgage alone does not constitute sufficient evidence of an earlier policy entitling consumers to a discounted rate. The court certified the class refusing to follow prior Pennsylvania Supreme Court and appellate court decisions holding that the UTPCPL requires proof of reliance, an individual issue that precludes certification. After notice to the class, plaintiffs moved for partial summary judgment on liability, and defendants moved for summary judgment. On June 27, 2018, the court entered an order granting plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on liability, and denying the Company’s motion. The court also determined that a multiplier of 1.5, not treble, should be applied to the amount of damages, if any, proven by class members at trial, and that the plaintiffsPlaintiffs should bear the responsibility of identifying class members and calculating damages. The Company sought permission from the Pennsylvania Superior Court to appeal both the liability and damage multiplier issues; however, the petition was denied. The Company has filed a petition with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court requesting permissionconsideration

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

toof the appeal on the merits, or in the alternative, an order directing the Pennsylvania Superior Court to grant interlocutory review. There has been no determination as to the size of the class. It is unknown whether plaintiffs will seek statutory or actual damages, or whether the judge will exercise discretion to award prejudgment interest or reasonable attorneys’ fees. Accordingly, damages are not reasonably estimable at this time. We will continue to vigorously defend this matter, and we do not believe the result will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
From time to time we receive inquiries and requests for information from state insurance departments, attorneys general and other regulatory agencies about various matters relating to our business. Sometimes these take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. We cooperate with all such inquiries and we have responded to or are currently responding to inquiries from multiple governmental agencies. Also, regulators and courts have been dealing with issues arising from foreclosures and related processes and documentation. Various governmental entities are studying the title insurance product, market, pricing, and business practices, and potential regulatory and legislative changes, which may materially affect our business and operations. From time to time, we are assessed fines for violations of regulations or other matters or enter into settlements with such authorities which may require us to pay fines or claims or take other actions. We do not anticipate such fines and settlements, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Note J — Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by applying the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have an impact on the recognition of our primary sources of revenue, direct and agency title premiums, as those revenue streams are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements under ASC Topic 944. Timing of recognition of substantially all of our remaining revenue was also not impacted and we therefore did not record any cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity.

Our Direct title insurance premiums are recognized as revenue at the time of closing of the underlying transaction as the earnings process is then considered complete. Regulation of title insurance rates varies by state. Premiums are charged to customers based on rates predetermined in coordination with each states' respective Department of Insurance. Cash associated with such revenue is typically collected at closing of the underlying real estate transaction. Premium revenues from agency title operations are recognized when the underlying title order and transaction closing, if applicable, are complete.
Revenues from our home warranty business are generated from contracts with customers to provide warranty for major home appliances. Substantially all of our home warranty contracts are one year in length and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Escrow fees and Other title-related fees and income in our Title segment are closely related to Direct title insurance premiums and are primarily associated with managing the closing of real estate transactions including the processing of funds on behalf of

the transaction participants, gathering and recording the required closing documents, providing notary and home inspection services, and other real estate or title-related activities. Revenue is primarily recognized upon closing of the underlying real estate transaction or completion of services. Cash associated with such revenue is typically collected at closing.
Revenues from ServiceLink, excluding its title premiums, escrow fees and loan subservicing fees primarily include revenues from real estate appraisal services and foreclosure processing and facilitation services. Revenues from real estate appraisal services are recognized when all appraisal work is complete, a final report is issued to the client and the client is billed. Revenues from foreclosure processing and facilitation services are primarily recognized upon completion of the services and when billing to the client is complete.
Real estate technology revenues are primarily comprised of subscription fees for use of software provided to real estate professionals. Subscriptions are only offered on a month-by-month basis and fees are billed monthly. Revenue is recognized in the month services are provided.
Real estate brokerage revenues are primarily comprised of commission revenues earned in association with the facilitation of real estate transactions and are recognized upon closing of the sale of the underlying real estate transaction.
Loan subservicing revenues are generated by certain subsidiaries of ServiceLink and are associated with the servicing of mortgage loans on behalf of its customers. Revenue is recognized when the underlying work is performed and billed. Loan subservicing revenues are subject to the recognition requirements of ASC Topic 860.
Interest and investment income consists primarily of interest payments received on fixed maturity security holdings and dividends received on equity and preferred security holdings.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, primarily related to revenue from our home warranty business, and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Deferred revenue is recorded primarily for our home warranty contracts. Revenues from home warranty products are recognized over the life of the policy, which is primarily one year. The unrecognized portion is recorded as deferred revenue in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we recognized $44 million and $78$97 million of revenue, respectively, which was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.

Note K.K — Leases
We adopted ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Prior year periods continue to be reported under ASC Topic 840. See Note A Basis of Financial Statements for further discussion of the current period effects of adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842).
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases under ASC Topic 842 are recorded when we are party to a contract which conveys the right for the Company to control an asset for a specified period of time. Substantially all of our operating lease arrangements relate to rented office space and real estate for our title operations. We generally are not a party to any material contracts considered finance leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities under ASC Topic 842 are recorded as Lease assets and Lease liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019.
Our operating leases range in term from one to ten years. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating leases was 4.2 years.
Our lease agreements do not contain material variable lease payments, buyout options, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Most of our leases include one1 or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by varying amounts. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We do not include options to renew in our measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as they are not considered reasonably assured of exercise.
Our operating lease liability is determined by discounting future lease payments using a discount rate based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar collateralized borrowing. The discount rate is calculated as an average of the current yield on our unsecured notes payable and 140 basis points in excess of the current five year LIBOR swap rate. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 the weighted-average discount rate used to determine our operating lease liability was 4.37%4.33%.
We do not separate lease components from non-lease components for any of our right-of-use assets.
Our lease costs are included in Other operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were $36 million and $73$109 million for the three and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively. We do not have any material short term lease costs, variable lease costs, or sublease income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; continued weakness or adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding or a weak U.S. economy; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as our main source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries; the risk that the necessary regulatory approvals for the Stewart Merger may not be obtained or may be obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated and which may require the Company to pay Stewart a reverse termination fee of $50 million; risks that any of the closing conditions to the proposed Stewart Merger may not be satisfied in a timely manner; the risk that our and Stewart's businesses will not be integrated successfully, that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or more costly than expected or that the expected benefits of the Stewart Merger will not be realized; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other filings with the SEC.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report.
Overview
For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion under Basis of Financial Statements in Note A to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Business Trends and Conditions
Title
Our Title segment revenue is closely related to the level of real estate activity which includes sales, mortgage financing and mortgage refinancing. Declines in the level of real estate activity or the average price of real estate sales will adversely affect our title insurance revenues.
We have found that residential real estate activity is generally dependent on the following factors:
mortgage interest rates;
mortgage funding supply;
housing inventory and home prices; and
the strength of the United States economy, including employment levels.
As of June 18,September 19, 2019, the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") estimated (actual for fiscal year 2018) the size of the U.S. mortgage originations market as shown in the following table for 2018 - 2021 in its "Mortgage Finance Forecast" (in trillions):

In 2017, total originations were reflective of a generally improving residential real estate market driven by increasing home prices and historically low mortgage interest rates. Mortgage interest rates increased slightly in 2017 from 2016, but remained low compared to historical rates. In 2018, average interest rates on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages in the U.S. rose from approximately 4.0% to 4.9% through October, representing an increase of 22%, before retreating to 4.55% in the last week of December according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. As a result of the overall upward trend in rates, refinance transactions decreased in both 2017 and 2018 from the historically high levels experienced in years preceding years.2017. Existing home sales increased through 2017 and began leveling out in the first half, and decreasingdecreased in the second half of 2018. Coupled with stagnant levels of new home construction over the same time period, the result has been a decline in total housing inventory and increase in average home prices, albeit with decreasing magnitude toward the end of 2018. Through the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019, mortgage interest rates continued to decline to an average of 3.80%3.61% in JuneSeptember 2019.

Table of Contents


The combination of reduced housing inventory, increasing mortgage interest rates (through 2018) and increasing home prices led the MBA to lower mortgage origination forecasts for 2019 and beyond during the second half of 2018. Market volatility and the shift in mortgage interest rates in late 2018 and through the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019 have created uncertainty in forecasts of future mortgage interest rates and originations. As a result,During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the U.S. Federal Reserve has heldcut the target federal funds rate steady in 2019by 50 basis points and indicated it may further reduce the target rate if economic conditions deteriorate. After accounting for the decrease in the first half of 2019, the MBA expects mortgage interest rates to remain flat in 2019. The decrease in market interest rates through the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019 has begun to impact the volume of residential refinance transactions in the second quarter of 2019. See further discussion in the following Results of Operations section. The

MBA predicts overall mortgage originations in 2019 through 2021 will remain relatively flatslightly increase compared to the 2018 period, and rates will return tofollowed by a gradual upward trend.slight decrease in originations through 2021.
Other economic indicators used to measure the health of the U.S. economy, including the unemployment rate and consumer confidence, have continued to indicate the U.S. economy remains on strong footing. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate was at a historically low 3.7%3.5% in JuneSeptember 2019. Additionally, the Conference Board's monthly Consumer Confidence Index has remained at historically high levels through the secondthird quarter of 2019, despite a slight drop from late 2018 highs. Toward the end of the fiscal year of 2018 and into 2019, there has been increased global economic uncertainty and stock market volatility. Such market uncertainty could ultimately impact U.S. real estate markets if theythese markets continue to worsen. We believe continued strong readings in domestic U.S. economic indicators present potential tailwinds for mortgage originations, despite growing risks from global economic uncertainties.
We cannot be certain how the effects of a generally strong U.S. economy, flatdecreasing mortgage interest rates and global economic uncertainty will impact mortgage originations and our future results of operations from our residential business. We continually monitor mortgage origination trends and believe that, based on our ability to produce industry leading operating margins through all economic cycles, we are well positioned to adjust our operations for adverse changes in real estate activity.
Because commercial real estate transactions tend to be generally driven by supply and demand for commercial space and occupancy rates in a particular area rather than by interest rate fluctuations, we believe that our commercial real estate title insurance business is less dependent on the industry cycles discussed above than our residential real estate title business. Commercial real estate transaction volume is also often linked to the availability of financing. Factors including U.S. tax reform and a shift in U.S. monetary policy have had, or are expected to have, varying effects on availability of financing in the U.S. Lower corporate and individual tax rates and corporate tax-deductibility of capital expenditures have provided increased capacity and incentive for investments in commercial real estate. Conversely, gradual increases in the Fed Funds Rate through the end of 2018 and the shift in late 2017 by the U.S. Federal Reserve to unwind its balance sheet are generally expected to adversely impact availability of financing by decreasing the overall money supply. In recent years, we have continued to experience strong demand in commercial real estate markets and from 2015 through the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2019, we experienced historically high volumes and fee-per-file in our commercial business.
Seasonality. Historically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue fluctuations in the real estate industry. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The second and third calendar quarters are typically the strongest quarters in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of residential transactions in the spring and summer months. The fourth quarter is typically also strong due to the desire of commercial entities to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short-term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates.

 Revenues.
Total revenues increased by $21156 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and increased $50by $206 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018.
Net earnings increased by $16$19 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and increased $124by $143 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018.
The change in revenue and net earnings from our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.    
Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of Personnel costs; Other operating expenses, which in our title business are incurred as orders are received and processed; and Agent commissions, which are incurred as title agency revenue is recognized. Title insurance premiums, escrow and title-related fees are generally recognized as income at the time the underlying transaction closes or other service is provided. Direct title operations revenue often lags approximately 45-60 days behind expenses and therefore gross margins may fluctuate. The changes in the market environment, mix of business between direct and agency operations and the contributions from our various business units have historically impacted margins and net earnings. We have implemented programs and have taken necessary actions to maintain expense levels consistent with revenue streams. However, a short-term lag exists in reducing controllable fixed costs and certain fixed costs are incurred regardless of revenue levels.
Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. 
Agent commissions represent the portion of premiums retained by our third-party agents pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts.
Other operating expenses consist primarily of facilities expenses, title plant maintenance, premium taxes (which insurance underwriters are required to pay on title premiums in lieu of franchise and other state taxes), appraisal fees and other cost of sales

The change in expenses attributable to our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below. 
Income tax expense was $86$59 million and $22$51 million in the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $151$210 million and $53$104 million in the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 24%19% and 8%18% in the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 24%23% and 13%15% in the six-nine- month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before taxes in the 2019 periodsnine-month period from the comparable periodsperiod in 2018 was primarily attributable to a change in tax estimate in the three months ended June 30, 2018 relating to the timing of payments for, and tax rate applicable to, our tax liability resulting from the decrease in statutory premium reserve associated with the redomestication of certain of our title underwriters.

Title premiums from direct operations increased in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and decreased in the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase in the three-month period is primarily attributable to an increase in the fee per file,closed order volumes, partially offset by a decrease in closed order volumes.the fee per file. The decreaseincrease in the six-monthnine-month period is primarily attributable to a decrease in closed order volumes, partially offset by an increase in theboth fee per file.file and closed order volumes.
Closed title insurance order volumes from purchase transactions were flat in the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. We experienced a decrease in closed title insurance order volumes from purchase transactions and an increase in closed title insurance order volumes from refinance transactions in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. Total closed order volumes were 359,000409,000 in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to 362,000339,000 in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 622,0001,031,000 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to 675,0001,014,000 in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018. This represented an overall decreaseincrease of 1%21% and 8%2%, respectively, in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018.
Total openopened title insurance order volumes increased in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and decreased slightly in the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase in both the three- month periodthree and nine-month periods was primarily attributable to increased openopened title orders from refinance transactions, partially offset by a decrease in openopened title orders from purchase transactions.
The average fee per file in our direct operations was $2,677$2,459 and $2,630$2,562 in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $2,579$2,623 and $2,470$2,521 in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. The year-to-date increase in average fee per file reflects a stronger commercial market and a favorable increase in average property prices of underlying transactions, partially offset by an increased proportion of refinance transactions. The fee per file tends to change as the mix of refinance and purchase transactions changes, because purchase transactions involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy, resulting in higher fees, whereas refinance transactions only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower fees.

Title premiums from agency operations increased $22$105 million, or 3%15%, in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and increased $10$115 million, or 1%6%, in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was directionally consistent with the trend in title premiums from direct operations and is further impacted by changes in underlying real estate activity in the geographic regions in which the independent agents operate.
Escrow, title-related and other fees increased by $13$86 million, or 2%15%, in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and decreased $22increased $64 million, or 2%4%, in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018. Escrow fees, which are more closely related to our direct operations, increased by $3$35 million, or 1%16%, in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and decreasedincreased by $16$20 million or 4%3% in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase in the three-month periodthree and decrease in the six-month period arenine-month periods is directionally consistent with the change in title premiums from direct operations, albeit to a lesser magnitude resulting from a higher proportion of commercial transactions in the 2019 periods. Other fees in the Title segment, excluding escrow fees, increased by $11$52 million or 3%15% in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and decreasedincreased by $7$45 million, or 1%4%, in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The changes in Other fees were driven by various individually immaterial items.
Interest and investment income levels are primarily a function of securities markets, interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment. Interest and investment income increased by $11$9 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and increased $22$31 million in the sixnine months ended June 20,September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of increased market interest rates on the cash and investment portfolio and float income on tax-deferred property exchange businesses as well as an increase in average fixed maturity holdings period over period.
Realized gains and losses, net, increased $62decreased $37 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and increased $203$166 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the comparable periods in 2018. The decrease in the three-month period and the increase isin the nine-month period are primarily attributable to increasedfluctuations in non-cash valuation gainschanges on our equity and preferred security holdings.
Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. Personnel costs increased $2058 million, or 3%9%, in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and decreased $8increased $50 million, or 1%3%, in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase in the three-month period is primarily attributable to increased average headcount and increased commissions driven by the increase in openclosed title order volumes in the 2019 period. The decreaseincrease in the six-monthnine-month period is primarily attributable to lower average headcount resulting fromincreased commissions driven by the decreaseincrease in closed title order volumes year over year.in the 2019 period, partially offset by reduced head count. Personnel costs as a percentage of total revenues from direct title premiums and escrow, title-related and other fees were 53%52% and 54% for the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 56%54% and 55% in the six month-periodnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Average employee count in the Title segment was 23,25524,233 and 23,34423,511 in the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 22,71223,219 and 23,17723,289 in the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Agent commissions represent the portion of premiums retained by agents pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts. Agent commissions and the resulting percentage of agent premiums that we retain vary according to regional differences in real estate closing practices and state regulations.

Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment consists of the operations of the parent holding company, our various real estate brokerage businesses and our real estate technology subsidiaries. This segment also includes certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses and eliminations of revenues and expenses between it and our Title segment.

The revenue in the Corporate and Other segment for all periods represents revenue generated by our non-title real estate technology and brokerage subsidiaries as well as mark-to-market valuation changes on certain corporate deferred compensation plans.
Total revenues in the Corporate and Other segment decreased $113$93 million, or 68%66%, in the three-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and decreased $157$250 million, or 59%61%, in the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of Pacific Union, partially offset by increased revenue associated with the valuation of deferred compensation assets.
Personnel costs in the Corporate and Other segment were flatdecreased $10 million, or 29%, in the three-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and increased $13$3 million, or 22%3%, in the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to reduced headcount as a result of the Pacific Union sale in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the six monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to increased expense associated with the aforementioned increase in the valuation of deferred compensation plan assets and increased costs resulting from growth of our real estate technology subsidiaries, partially offset by our sale of Pacific Union.
Other operating expenses in the Corporate and Other segment decreased $104$32 million, or 74%29%, in the three-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and decreased $168$200 million, or 72%58%, in the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease in both the three and nine-month periods is primarily attributable to our sale of Pacific Union.Union, which is partially offset by the Reverse Termination Fee of $50 million paid to Stewart on September 12, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, claim payments, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, stock repurchases and dividends on our common stock. We paid dividends of $0.31 per share in the secondthird quarter of 2019, or approximately $85 million to our FNF

common shareholders. On July 16,October 29, 2019, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.31$0.33 per share, payable on September 30,December 31, 2019, to FNF common shareholders of record as of September 16,December 17, 2019. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as described below. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,605$1,530 million, short term investments of $314$554 million and available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $800 million. We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to the amount of our dividend, reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, making acquisitions and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, through cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets and borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to ensure that we can meet our cash requirements. We forecast the needs of all of our subsidiaries and periodically review their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts. 
Our insurance subsidiaries generate cash from premiums earned and their respective investment portfolios, and these funds are adequate to satisfy the payments of claims and other liabilities. Due to the magnitude of our investment portfolio in relation to our title claim loss reserves, we do not specifically match durations of our investments to the cash outflows required to pay claims, but do manage outflows on a shorter time frame.
Our two significant sources of internally generated funds are dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we receive cash from our subsidiaries in the form of dividends and as reimbursement for operating and other administrative expenses we incur. The reimbursements are paid within the guidelines of management agreements among us and our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries are restricted by state regulation in their ability to pay dividends and make distributions. Each applicable state of domicile regulates the extent to which our title underwriters can pay dividends or make other distributions. As of December 31, 2018, $1,518 million of our net assets were restricted from dividend payments without prior approval from the relevant departments of insurance. We anticipate that our title insurance subsidiaries will pay or make dividends in the remainder of 2019 of approximately $258$127 million. Our underwritten title companies and non-insurance subsidiaries are not regulated to the same extent as our insurance subsidiaries.
The maximum dividend permitted by law is not necessarily indicative of an insurer’s actual ability to pay dividends, which may be constrained by business and regulatory considerations, such as the impact of dividends on surplus, which could affect an insurer’s ratings or competitive position, the amount of premiums that can be written and the ability to pay future dividends. Further, depending on business and regulatory conditions, we may in the future need to retain cash in our underwriters or even contribute cash to one or more of them in order to maintain their ratings or their statutory capital position. Such a requirement could be the result of investment losses, reserve charges, adverse operating conditions in the current economic environment or changes in statutory accounting requirements by regulators.
Cash flow from our operations will be used for general corporate purposes including to reinvest in operations, repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase stock, pursue other strategic initiatives and/or conserve cash.
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows provided by operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $372$700 million and $350$671 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $22$29 million is primarily attributable to the increase in pre-tax earnings and the timing of receiptreceipts and paymentpayments of payables, partially offset by the timing of receipts and payments of prepaid assets, receivables and payables, partially offset by increased payments for income taxes. Included in net earnings in the 2019 period is our payment to Stewart of the Reverse Termination Fee of $50 million.
Investing Cash Flows. Our cash provided byflows used in investing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018 were $120$161 million and $54$42 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided byused in investing activities of $66$119 million in the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period is primarily attributable to a $90$228 million increasedecrease in net cash inflow from salesproceeds from calls and maturities of investments and distributions of and from equity and fixed income investments, net of purchases of investments and additional investments in unconsolidated investees,investment securities, partially offset by the inclusionreduced purchases of $21 million ofinvestment securities and increased proceeds from the salesales of property in the 2018 period.investment securities.
Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and capitalized software were $47$69 million and $39$56 million for the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018 were $144$266 million and $194$317 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $50$51 million from the 2019 period to the 2018 period is primarily attributable to $88$142 million of repaymentsthe equity portion of debt conversions paid in cash in the 2018 period and a $23$63 million increase in the change in secured trust deposits in the 2019 period, partially offset by purchases of treasury stock in the 2019 period.
