Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following describes the significant accounting policies of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” "Cannae," or the "Company”) which have been followed in preparing the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Description of Business We are a holding company engaged in actively managing and operating a group of companies and investments with a net asset value of approximately $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2018 . Our business consists of managing and operating majority-owned subsidiaries, as well as making additional majority and minority equity portfolio investments in businesses, in order to achieve superior financial performance and maximize the value of these assets. Our primary investments as of December 31, 2018 include our ownership interest in Ceridian Holding HCM, Inc. ("Ceridian"); majority equity ownership stakes in American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH"), 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants") and T-System Holdings, LLC ("T-System"); and various other controlled portfolio companies and minority equity and debt investments. See Note Q Segment Information for further discussion of the businesses comprising our reportable segments. Split-off of Cannae from FNF During December 2016, the board of directors of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF” or “Parent”) authorized its management to pursue a plan to redeem each outstanding share of its Fidelity National Financial Ventures Group ("FNFV Group") common stock, par value $0.0001 , for one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 , of a newly formed entity, Cannae Holdings, Inc. (“Cannae”), with cash in lieu of fractional shares (the "Split-Off"). On November 17, 2017, FNF contributed to Cannae its majority and minority equity investment stakes in a number of entities, including ABRH, T-System, Ceridian, and various other controlled portfolio companies and minority equity investments. The Split-Off is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of FNFV Group common stock. Following the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae operate as separate, publicly traded companies. In connection with the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a reorganization agreement, a corporate services agreement, a registration rights agreement, a voting agreement and a tax matters agreement. The reorganization agreement provides for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions (including the internal restructuring) required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between Cannae and FNF with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off. The tax matters agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between FNF and Cannae and other agreements related to tax matters. The voting and registration rights agreements provides for certain appearance and voting restrictions and registration rights on shares of Cannae owned by FNF after consummation of the Split-Off. Pursuant to the corporate services agreement (the "CSA"), FNF will provide Cannae with certain "back office" services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. FNF will generally provide these services at no-cost for up to three years . Cannae will reimburse FNF for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by FNF in providing these services. The Split-Off was accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution to holders of FNFV Group common stock. Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and include the historical accounts as well as wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Prior to the Split-Off, these financial statements represent a combination of the historical financial information of the operations attributed to FNFV, of which Cannae is comprised. The Company is allocated certain corporate overhead and management services expenses from FNF based on the terms of the CSA and our proportionate share of the expense determined on actual usage and our best estimate of management's allocation of time. Both FNF and Cannae believe such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual results of operations or cash flows of the Company had the Company been operating as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented or the amounts that will be incurred by the Company in the future. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our investments in non-majority-owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method until such time that they may become wholly or majority-owned. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations relating to majority-owned subsidiaries with the appropriate noncontrolling interest that represents the portion of equity not related to our ownership interest recorded on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets in each period. Management Estimates The preparation of these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include the carrying amount and depreciation of property and equipment (Note E), the valuation of acquired intangible assets (Note B and Note H), fair value measurements (Note C), and accounting for income taxes (Note L). Actual results could differ from estimates. Recent Developments Dun & Bradstreet On August 8, 2018, we entered into an agreement to partner with an investment consortium (the “Consortium”) including CC Capital Partners LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners along with other investors to acquire The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Dun & Bradstreet") (the "DNB Acquisition"). Contemporaneously, Dun & Bradstreet entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and between Dun & Bradstreet, Star Parent, L.P. ("Star"), a Delaware limited partnership, and Star Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Star, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Dun & Bradstreet (the "Merger"), with Dun & Bradstreet continuing as the surviving company in the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger, Dun & Bradstreet shareholders received $145.00 in cash for each share of common stock they owned at closing. On February 8, 2019, the DNB Acquisition closed and was financed through a combination of $2.1 billion of common equity financing provided by the Consortium, $1.1 billion of preferred equity from preferred equity sources and $4.0 billion of debt financing from various lenders. Of our previously disclosed $900.0 million commitment to purchase common equity of Star and Dun & Bradstreet, we retained and funded a $505.6 million investment (the "DNB Investment"), representing 24.5% of the outstanding common equity, and syndicated the remainder to other investors. We funded the DNB Investment through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on existing credit facilities. We expect to account for the DNB Investment as an equity method investment which will result in our initial investment being recorded as an Investment in unconsolidated affiliate on our balance sheet and our portion ( 24.5% ) of Dun & Bradstreet's periodic earnings or losses to be included in Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates, outside of operating income or loss, on our statement of operations. Dun & Bradstreet is a global leader in commercial data and analytics and provides various services to help companies improve their operational performance. Ceridian On April 26, 2018, Ceridian's previously announced registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC and Ceridian priced its initial public offering of 21,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $22.00 per share (the "Ceridian IPO"). In addition, the underwriters of the Ceridian IPO were granted and exercised a 30 -day option to purchase up to an additional 3,150,000 shares at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") have approved the listing of Ceridian's shares. Ceridian’s shares trade on the NYSE and TSX under the ticker symbol “CDAY.” In accordance with the terms of our management agreement with Ceridian, the agreement was terminated upon closing of the Ceridian IPO. The termination resulted in a termination fee of $5.6 million which was paid to us on May 1, 2018 and is included in Other operating revenue on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Subsequent to the Ceridian IPO, and participation in a concurrent private placement investment in which we acquired 1,521,030 shares of CDAY representing an investment of $33.4 million from funds previously invested by us and held at Ceridian, we owned a total of 37,135,921 shares of CDAY. We recorded a gain of $63.2 million related to our change in ownership of Ceridian which is included in Realized gains, net on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The recorded gain is net of $21.1 million of losses (exclusive of $4.4 million of income tax benefit) related to reclassification adjustments from Other comprehensive income. On May 7, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a success bonus of up to $67.1 million resulting from the successful Ceridian IPO. The success bonus was calculated based on 10% of the value of our investment in Ceridian in excess of our basis in Ceridian prior to the Ceridian IPO. The success bonus was paid to certain members of the Board of Directors and management who contributed to acquiring and growing Ceridian over Cannae’s and its predecessor’s ten year ownership of Ceridian, and was paid in a combination of cash and stock. On May 16, 2018, we issued 991,906 shares of our common stock for the stock portion of the bonuses. The remaining $46.9 million was paid in cash during the year ended December 31, 2018. The expense resulting from the success bonus is included in Personnel expense on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. LifeWorks Corporation Ltd. ("LifeWorks"), a former minority-owned subsidiary of Ceridian, was distributed pro-rata to Ceridian shareholders contemporaneously with the Ceridian IPO. On July 27, 2018, LifeWorks was sold to Morneau Shepell, Inc. for $325.0 million . Cannae's cash proceeds for its equity interest in LifeWorks were $56.2 million . We recorded a gain of $24.0 million on the sale which is included in Realized gains (losses), net on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. On November 16, 2018, we completed the sale of 4,396,694 shares of common stock of Ceridian as part of an underwritten secondary public offering by certain stockholders of Ceridian at a public offering price of $36.00 per share. In connection with the sale, the Company received $34.695 per share (after the applicable underwriter discount) for aggregate proceeds of $152.5 million . We recorded a gain of $92.6 million on the sale which is included in Realized gains (losses), net on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Subsequent to the sale, we own 23.5% of the outstanding common stock of Ceridian. Restaurant Group On November 6, 2018, we entered into various definitive agreements with Fidelity Newport Holdings, LLC ("FNH", a subsidiary of the Company and the direct parent of ABRH), ABRH and 99 Restaurants (together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "99 Companies") pursuant to which the following occurred (collectively, the "ABRH-99 Restructuring"): (i) ABRH and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries transferred to the applicable 99 Companies those assets principally associated with the 99 Restaurants brand that were not already owned by the 99 Companies; (ii) the existing intercompany credit facility (with an outstanding balance of approximately $133.0 million in principal, plus accrued but unpaid interest and fees) under which we were the sole lender to ABRH, for the benefit of ABRH and its subsidiaries, including the 99 Companies (the “Intercompany Credit Facility”), was modified so that 99 Holdings became the direct borrower (and ABRH and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than the 99 Companies, were released from their obligations thereunder); (iii) $100.0 million of the outstanding balance due to Cannae under the Intercompany Credit Facility was exchanged for 66.7% of the direct equity interest in 99 Holdings (with ABRH being the direct holder of the remaining 33.3% of the equity interests in 99 Holdings); (iv) FNH paid a facilitation fee to us in the form of 18,023,407 Class A units of FNH and (v) ABRH agreed to continue to provide support services to the 99 Companies. As a result of the ABRH-99 Restructuring, Cannae (x) owns 65.4% of FNH directly and (y) 88.5% of 99 Holdings beneficially (through a combination of its directly held equity interests in 99 Holdings and the equity interests it holds in FNH). On December 21, 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 99 Restaurants entered into a credit agreement (the "99 Restaurants Credit Facility") with various banks. Proceeds of $36.2 million were received at closing and primarily used to repay the remaining balance outstanding under the Intercompany Credit Facility that formerly eliminated in consolidation. See Note K for further details of the material terms of the agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we entered into a plan to sell certain real estate assets of ABRH including its corporate offices located in Nashville, Tennessee and Denver, Colorado. In conjunction with the plan of sale, we reclassified $9.3 million of assets held for sale from Property and equipment, net to Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018. Other Developments On November 7, 2018, our wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), and certain other related agreements, with various lenders pursuant to which we may borrow up to $300.0 million (the "Margin Facility") in term loans at an interest rate of the three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. See Note K for further discussion. On August 10, 2018, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution increasing the size of the Company’s Board of Directors to eight, and elected Erika Meinhardt to serve on our Board of Directors. Ms. Meinhardt will serve in Class II of our Board of Directors, and her term will expire at the annual meeting of our shareholders to be held in 2019. Ms. Meinhardt has not been appointed to any committee of our Board. Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid instruments, including money market instruments, purchased as part of cash management with original maturities of three months or less, and certain amounts in transit from credit and debit card processors, are considered cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value. Investments Fixed maturity securities are purchased based on factors including rate of return, maturity, credit risk, duration, and tax considerations. Fixed maturity securities, which may be sold prior to maturity, are carried at fair value and are classified as available for sale as of the balance sheet dates. Fair values for fixed maturity securities are principally a function of current market conditions and are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are unobservable. See Note C. Discount or premium is recorded for the difference between the purchase price and the principal amount. The discount or premium is amortized or accrued using the interest method and is recorded as an adjustment to interest and investment income. The interest method results in the recognition of a constant rate of return on the investment equal to the prevailing rate at the time of purchase or at the time of subsequent adjustments of book value. Equity securities held are carried at fair value as of the balance sheet dates. Our equity securities are Level 1 financial assets and fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investments sold and are credited or charged to income on a trade date basis. Unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities which are classified as available for sale, net of applicable deferred income tax expenses (benefits), are excluded from earnings and credited or charged directly to a separate component of equity. If any unrealized losses on available for sale securities are determined to be other-than-temporary, such unrealized losses are recognized as realized losses. Unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary if factors exist that cause us to believe that the value will not increase to a level sufficient to recover our cost basis. Some factors considered in evaluating whether or not a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary include: (i) our need and intent to sell the investment prior to a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value; (ii) the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; and (iii) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer. Such reviews are inherently uncertain and the value of the investment may not fully recover or may decline in future periods resulting in a realized loss. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of financial instruments presented in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are estimates of the fair values at a specific point in time using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. We do not necessarily intend to dispose of or liquidate such instruments prior to maturity. See Note C Fair Value Measurements for further details. Trade Receivables Restaurant Group. Trade receivables on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets for the Restaurant Group consists primarily of billings to third-party customers of ABRH's bakery business, business to business gift card sales, insurance-related reimbursement, rebates, tenant improvement allowances, and billings to franchisees for royalties, initial and renewal fees, equipment sales and rent. Trade receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts which is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing receivables. T-System. Trade receivables on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets for T-System consists primarily of billings to third-party customers that are carried at the invoiced amount and unbilled receivables less an estimate for doubtful accounts. The carrying values reported in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets for trade receivables approximate their fair value. Inventory Inventory primarily consists of raw materials, finished pies, food, beverages packaging and supplies in our Restaurant Group segment and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first in, first out method for restaurant inventory and standard cost that approximates actual cost on a first in, first out basis for the bakery operations. Other long term investments and non-current assets Other long-term investments consist of land held for investment purposes, which are carried at historical cost. Other non-current assets include notes receivable from third-parties and other miscellaneous non-current assets. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and assumed in business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, through a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount. We have the option to first assess goodwill for impairment based on a review of qualitative factors to determine if events and circumstances exist which will lead to a determination that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, prior to performing a full fair-value assessment. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2018 we recorded $26.7 million of impairment to goodwill in our Restaurant Group segment. The impairment charge was a result of deteriorating operating results and cash flow resulting from declining same store sales and increased costs. The impairment recorded was calculated as the deficit between the carrying value of a reporting unit of the Restaurant Group segment compared to the fair value of the reporting unit determined by performing a combination of discounted cash flow and market approaches. For years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we determined that there were no events or circumstances which indicated that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair value and no impairment was recorded. Other Intangible Assets We have other intangible assets, not including goodwill, which consist primarily of customer relationships and contracts, trademarks and tradenames which are generally recorded in connection with acquisitions at their fair value, franchise rights, the fair value of purchased software and capitalized software development costs. Intangible assets with estimable lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In general, customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives using an accelerated method which takes into consideration expected customer attrition rates. Contractual relationships are generally amortized over their respective contractual lives. Useful lives of computer software range from 3 to 10 years. Trademarks and tradenames are generally considered intangible assets with indefinite lives and are reviewed for impairment at least annually. Capitalized software development costs and purchased software are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. We recorded $5.8 million of impairment expense related to a tradename and an abandoned software project in our Restaurant Group in the year ended December 31, 2018. We recorded $2.9 million of impairment expense related to a tradename in our Restaurant Group in the year ended December 31, 2017. We recorded no impairment expense related to other intangible assets in the year ended December 31, 2016. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment, net are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets: thirty to forty years for buildings and three to twenty-five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the applicable lease or the estimated useful lives of such assets. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In our Restaurant Group, all direct external costs associated with obtaining the land, building and equipment for each new restaurant, as well as construction period interest are capitalized. Direct external costs associated with obtaining the dining room and kitchen equipment, signage and other assets and equipment are also capitalized. In addition, for each new restaurant and re-branded restaurant, a portion of the internal direct costs of its real estate and construction department are also capitalized. We recorded $8.1 million , $6.9 million , and $2.8 million of impairment expense related to Property and equipment in our Restaurant Group segment in the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively, which is recorded within Other operating expenses on our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the years then ended. Insurance Reserves Our restaurant group companies are currently self-insured for a portion of its workers' compensation, general liability, and liquor liability losses (collectively, casualty losses) as well as certain other insurable risks. To mitigate the cost of its exposures for certain property and casualty losses, we make annual decisions to either retain the risks of loss up to a certain maximum per occurrence, aggregate loss limits negotiated with its insurance carriers, or fully insure those risks. Our restaurant group companies are also self-insured for healthcare claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. We have accounted for such retained liabilities for casualty losses and healthcare claims, including reported and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by third-party actuaries. As of December 31, 2018 , our restaurant group companies were committed under letters of credit totaling $15.4 million issued primarily in connection with casualty insurance programs. Income Taxes We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period enacted. We recognize the benefits of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements only after determining a more likely than not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. When facts and circumstances change, we reassess these probabilities and record any changes in the financial statements as appropriate. Uncertain tax positions are accounted for by determining the minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. This determination requires the use of judgment in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are recognized and measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax expense. Parent Investment in FNFV Parent investment in FNFV on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Equity represents FNF's historical investment in the Company, the Company's accumulated net earnings after taxes prior to the Split-Off, and the net effect of transactions with and allocations from FNF prior to the Split-Off. In conjunction with the Split-Off, Parent investment in FNFV was reclassified to Additional paid-in capital. Revenue Recognition Refer to Note U. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred, except for certain advertising production costs that are initially capitalized and subsequently expensed the first time the advertising takes place. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, the Company incurred $35.6 million , $35.6 million , and $36.1 million of advertising and marketing costs, respectively, related to advertising at ABRH, T-System and in our real estate operations. These costs are included in Other operating expenses on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Comprehensive Earnings (Loss) We report comprehensive earnings (loss) in accordance with GAAP on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Earnings (Loss). Total comprehensive earnings (loss) are defined as all changes in shareholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders. While total comprehensive earnings (loss) is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive earnings, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date. Amounts reclassified to net earnings relate to the realized gains (losses) on our investments and other financial instruments, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and are included in Realized gains and losses, net on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Changes in the balance of other comprehensive earnings (loss) by component are as follows: Unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other financial instruments, net (excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates) Unrealized (loss) gain relating to investments in unconsolidated affiliates Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Earnings (In millions) Balance December 31, 2016 $ 4.9 $ (73.0 ) $ (68.1 ) Other comprehensive (losses) earnings (8.7 ) 8.9 0.2 Reclassification adjustments (3.1 ) — (3.1 ) Balance December 31, 2017 (6.9 ) (64.1 ) (71.0 ) Other comprehensive (losses) earnings 0.9 (12.0 ) (11.1 ) Adjustment for adoption of ASU 2018-02 (1.6 ) (14.5 ) (16.1 ) Reclassification adjustments 7.0 24.0 31.0 Balance December 31, 2018 $ (0.6 ) $ (66.6 ) $ (67.2 ) Stock-Based Compensation Plans Stock-based compensation expense includes restricted stock awards granted to certain members of management in Cannae common stock, as well as in historical FNFV Group tracking stock. We account for stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method. Under the fair value method of accounting, compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date, using quoted market prices of the underlying stock, and recognized over the service period. See Note O. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. On November 17, 2017, the date of the consummation of the Split-Off, 70.6 million common shares of CNNE were distributed to FNFV Group shareholders. For comparative purposes, the weighted average number of common shares |
