Item 1.	Business

Introductory Note

The following describes the business of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Except where otherwise noted, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” "Cannae", "Cannae Holdings", "the Company," or “CNNE” are to Cannae Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, taken together.

Company Background

On November 17, 2017, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) redeemed each outstanding share of its FNF Ventures ("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., with cash in lieu of fractional shares (the "Split-Off"). In conjunction with the Split-Off, FNF contributed to us its majority and minority equity investment stakes in a number of entities, including American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH"), Ceridian Holding, LLC, T-System Holdings, LLC ("T-System"), and various other controlled portfolio companies and other minority equity investments. On November 20, 2017, Cannae common stock began “regular-way” trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the “CNNE” stock symbol.

On April 26, 2018, our minority-owned subsidiary Ceridian HCM Holding, Inc. ("Ceridian"), the parent of Ceridian Holding, LLC, completed its initial public offering (the "Ceridian IPO"). Following the Ceridian IPO, Ceridian's shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the ticker symbol “CDAY.” We retained the majority of our investment in Ceridian following its IPO. As of December 31, 2018, we own 23.5% of the outstanding common stock of Ceridian.

On February 8, 2019, Cannae and an investment consortium (the “Consortium”) including CC Capital Partners LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners along with other investors completed the previously announced acquisition of The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Dun & Bradstreet")(the "DNB Acquisition"). Of our previously disclosed $900.0 million commitment to purchase common equity of the parent of Dun & Bradstreet, we retained and funded a $505.6 million investment, representing 24.5% of the outstanding common equity, and syndicated the remainder to other investors.

Refer to discussion under Recent Developments in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Annual Report") for further information on the Ceridian IPO and DNB Acquisition and related transactions.

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; majority equity ownership stakes in ABRH, 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants") and T-System and various other controlled portfolio companies and minority equity and debt investments.

As of December 31, 2018 , we had the following reportable segments:

Restaurant Group. This segment consists of the operations of ABRH and 99 Restaurants, in which we have 65.4% and 88.5% ownership interests, respectively. ABRH and its affiliates are the owners and operators of the O'Charley's, Village Inn and Bakers Square food service and restaurant concepts, as well as the Legendary Baking bakery operation. 99 Restaurants and its affiliates are the owners and operators of the Ninety Nine Restaurants & Pub restaurant concept. ABRH and 99 Restaurants collectively operate more than 550 company and franchise family and casual dining restaurants and bakery operations in 40 states and Guam.

On November 6, 2018, we completed an internal restructuring of the Restaurant Group whereby 99 Restaurants was separated from ABRH. Refer to discussion under Recent Developments in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report for further information.

Ceridian. This segment consists of our 23.5% ownership interest in Ceridian. Ceridian is a global human capital management (“HCM”) software company. Dayforce, Ceridian's flagship cloud HCM platform, provides human resources (“HR”), payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management functionality. In addition to Dayforce, Ceridian sells Powerpay, a cloud HR and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market, through both direct sales and established partner channels. Ceridian also continues to support customers using its Bureau solutions, which Ceridian generally stopped actively selling to new customers in 2012, following the acquisition of Dayforce. Ceridian invests in maintenance and necessary updates to support its Bureau customers and continues to migrate them to Dayforce. We account for our investment in Ceridian under the equity method of accounting and therefore its results of operations do not consolidate into ours.

Table of Contents

T-System. This segment consists of the operations of our 97% -owned subsidiary, T-System, acquired on October 16, 2017. T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities. T-System organizes itself into two businesses. The Clinical Documentation business offers software solutions providing clinical staff with full workflow operations that drive documentation completeness and revenue optimization to more than 240 customers at more than 450 customer sites. Additionally, the patented T-Sheet is the industry standard for emergency department documentation, with more than 200 customers at more than 475 customer sites. The Coding Software & Outsourced Solutions business provides a full-service outsourced coding solution as well as a cloud-based software-as-a-service solution for self-service coding. These offerings help more than 75 customers at over 400 sites optimize their revenue cycle workflow and customer revenue reimbursement through improved coding accuracy and compliance and coder productivity compared to in-house coding.

Corporate and Other. This segment consists of our share in the operations of controlled and uncontrolled portfolio companies including our 24.8% equity interest in Triple Tree Holdings, LLC ("Triple Tree"), our wholly-owned subsidiary Cannae Timber Resources LLC ("CTR"), our interest in the debt of Colt Holding LLC ("Colt Defense"), and other various majority and minority equity investments. Triple Tree is an independent, research-driven investment banking firm focused on mergers and acquisitions, financial restructuring, and principal investing services for innovative, high-growth businesses in the healthcare industry. CTR and its subsidiaries currently operate and invest in golf and real estate properties and develop, manage and operate residential and recreational properties, including a 1,800-acre ranch-style luxury resort and residential community in Oregon and an 18-hole championship golf facility in Idaho. Colt Defense researches, develops, manufactures and sells firearms for military and personal defense and recreational purposes in the U.S. and internationally. As of December 31, 2018 , we own debt of Colt Defense with a market value of $17.8 million .

Strategy

We actively manage a group of companies and investments with a net asset value of approximately $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2018 . Our strategy for the Company is to continue our activities with respect to such business investments to achieve superior financial performance, maximize and ultimately monetize the value of those assets and to continue to pursue similar investments in businesses and to grow and achieve superior financial performance with respect to such newly acquired businesses.

Restaurant Group. Our restaurant operations are focused in the family dining and casual dining segments of the restaurant industry. The Restaurant Group's strategy is to achieve long-term profit growth and drive increases in same store sales and guest counts. We have a highly experienced management team that is focused on enhancing the guest experience at our restaurants and building team member engagement. We also utilize a shared service platform that takes advantage of the combined back-office synergies of our restaurant operating companies. We expect to continue to maintain a strong balance sheet for our Restaurant Group to provide stability in all operating environments.

Ceridian. Ceridian's business has transformed from a legacy service-bureau model into a cloud-based provider model, and in the second half of 2016, Cloud revenue surpassed Bureau revenue for the first time. Ceridian's flagship cloud offering, Dayforce, is a cloud solution that meets HCM needs with one employee record and one user experience throughout the application. As evidenced by its more than 60% compound annual growth rate since 2012, we believe that the Dayforce cloud offering, built on a single database, enjoys a competitive advantage in the marketplace. We believe Ceridian's Dayforce offering is a market leader as shown by both extensive recognition and industry awards. Nucleus Research named Dayforce as the leader in both HCM technology and Workforce Management, based on functionality and usability. In addition, Gartner Peer Insights placed Ceridian's Dayforce offering in the leader quadrant in global payroll services, and Ventana Research found Dayforce as the leader in both usability and capability in its Value Index. During 2016, Ceridian won several awards for Dayforce, including a TekTonic Award from HRO Today Magazine, a Gold American Business Award for best new product, and a Ventana Research Technology Innovation Award, among others.

T-System. T-System is engaged in providing clinical, financial, operational, and regulatory solutions for hospital emergency room ("ER") departments, free-standing emergency departments ("ED"), and urgent care healthcare facilities. T-System offers documentation solutions, including EV, an emergency department information system; EV for physicians, a solution with ER-specific clinical content and workflow for emergency physicians; T Sheets Digital, a documentation solution for urgent care; and T Sheets, which provides patient care through medical records/documentation and optimized reimbursement. We also provide charge capture and coding solutions that combine intelligent coding technology with services to improve quality and compliance, and result in accurate coding and financial outcomes for various types of facilities ranging from critical access hospitals to children's hospitals; and Advanced Coding System, which facilitates accurate coding for simple encounters and multiple patient complaints, and ensures optimal reimbursement for care provided. In the past several years, there has been an increased push for interoperability across systems to address the fact that patient records will contain information from more than one health care IT system. We believe that we are positioned to take the steps to create interoperability between T-System solutions and other large IT systems .

Acquisitions, Dispositions, Minority Owned Operating Affiliates and Financings. Acquisitions have been an important part of our growth strategy. Dispositions have been an important aspect of our strategy of returning value to shareholders. On an ongoing

Table of Contents

basis, with assistance from our advisors, we actively evaluate possible transactions, such as acquisitions and dispositions of business units and operating assets and business combination transactions.

In the future, we may seek to sell certain investments or other assets to increase our liquidity. Further, our management has stated that we may make acquisitions in lines of business that are not directly tied to, or synergistic with, our current operating segments. In the past we have obtained majority and minority investments in entities and securities where we see the potential to achieve above market returns. Fundamentally our goal is to acquire quality companies that are well-positioned in their respective industries, run by best-in-class management teams in industries that have attractive organic and acquired growth opportunities. We leverage our operational expertise and track record of growing industry leading companies and our active interaction with management of acquired companies, directly or through our board of directors, to ultimately provide value for our shareholders.

There can be no assurance that any suitable opportunities will arise or that any particular transaction will be completed. We have made a number of acquisitions and dispositions over the past several years to strengthen and expand our service offerings and customer base in our various businesses, to expand into other businesses or where we otherwise saw value, and to monetize investments in assets and businesses.

Through the date of this Annual Report, we have made significant progress both monetizing currently held investments and deploying capital toward new investments. Refer to discussion under Recent Developments in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report for further information.

Intellectual Property

Restaurant Group . We regard our service marks, including "O'Charley's", "Ninety Nine", "Village Inn", "Legendary Baking", and "Bakers Square", and other service marks and trademarks as having significant value and as being important factors in the marketing of our restaurants. We have also obtained trademarks for several of our menu items and for various advertising slogans. We are aware of names and marks similar to our service marks and trademarks used by other persons in certain geographic areas where we have restaurants. However, we believe such uses will not adversely affect us. Our policy is to pursue registration of our marks whenever possible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of our marks.

We license the use of our registered trademarks and service marks to franchisees and third parties through franchise arrangements and licenses. The franchise and license arrangements restrict franchisees' and licensees' activities with respect to the use of our trademarks and service marks, and impose quality control standards in connection with goods and services offered in connection with the trademarks and service marks.

Ceridian . Ceridian and its subsidiaries own or have the rights to various trademarks, trade names and service marks, including the following: Ceridian®, Dayforce® and various logos used in association with these terms.

T-System .T-System's intellectual property includes the following: T Sheets ^TM , T-System EV ^TM , and T-System EV4P ^TM . T Sheets is one of the most widely used and accepted documentation systems in emergency medicine. T Sheets is built with the most comprehensive and up-to-date clinical content and serves as the clinical documentation backbone of T-System’s industry leading software solutions. T-System EV ^TM and EV4P ^TM are category-leading best-of-breed software solutions used by the episodic care market.

Seasonality

Restaurant Group . Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and the Restaurant Group typically generates a disproportionate share of its earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions. Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.

Ceridian. Ceridian has in the past and expects in the future to experience seasonal fluctuations in its revenues and new customer contracts with the fourth quarter historically being its strongest quarter for new customer contracts, renewals, and customer go-lives. Although the growth of Ceridian's cloud solutions and the ratable nature of its fees makes this seasonality less apparent in its overall results of operations, we expect Ceridian's revenue to fluctuate quarterly and to be higher in the fourth and first quarters of each year. Fourth quarter revenue is driven by year-end processing fees and Dayforce customer go-lives; and first quarter revenue is driven by revenue earned for printing of year-end tax packages.

T-System. The Clinical Documentation segment of T-System's business is impacted by seasonal volume increases in the first and fourth quarters compared to other quarters. The increase in charts coded is generated by seasonal flu volumes that impact the visits to health care facilities.

Table of Contents

Inventory

Restaurant Group. In the restaurant group's Legendary Baking business, sales of baked goods are greatest during the holiday season in the fourth quarter. As a result of inventory requirements to meet this demand, inventory is built up over the course of the first nine months of the year.

Competition

Restaurant Group. The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions; public safety conditions or concerns; demographic trends; weather conditions; the cost of food products, labor, energy and other operating costs; and governmental regulations. Higher labor costs due to state and local minimum wage increases and shopping pattern shifts to e-commerce and “ready to eat” grocery and convenience stores have had a negative impact on restaurant performance, particularly in the casual and family dining restaurants in which the Company operates.

The restaurant industry is also characterized by high capital investments for new restaurants and relatively high fixed or semi-variable restaurant operating expenses. Because of the high fixed and semi-variable expenses, changes in sales in existing restaurants are generally expected to significantly affect restaurant profitability because many restaurant costs and expenses are not expected to change at the same rate as sales. Restaurant profitability can also be negatively affected by inflationary and regulatory increases in operating costs and other factors. The most significant commodities that may affect our cost of food and beverage are beef, seafood, poultry, and dairy, which accounted for approximately half of our overall cost of food and beverage in the past. Generally, temporary increases in these costs are not passed on to guests; however, in the past, we have adjusted menu prices to compensate for increased costs of a more permanent nature. Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.

Ceridian. The market for HCM products is highly competitive. Ceridian's products compete primarily on the basis of technology, delivered functionality and performance, price, and service. Its competitors include (i) large service bureaus, primarily Automatic Data Processing Inc.; (ii) companies, such as Oracle, Kronos, Lawson, Ultimate Software and Workday that offer human resource management and payroll software products for use on mainframes, client/server environments and/or Web servers; and (iii) smaller service providers, such as Paychex.

T-System . The market for healthcare solutions is subject to intense competition and subject to rapid technological change. T-System offers solutions and services to support the clinical, financial, and operational needs for hospital ER departments, free-standing EDs, and urgent care and family practice healthcare facilities. Our competitors include companies such as Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Cerner Corporation, Medhost, and Epic Systems.

Due to the pace of change within the market, we expect that major software information system companies, start-up companies, and other companies would produce new software solutions or services that would compete with evolving industry standards and requirements.

C ompetitive Strengths

Proven management team. Our executive management team has a proven track record of investment identification and management. Our executive management's breadth of knowledge of capital markets allows us to identify companies and strategic assets with attractive value propositions, to structure investments to maximize their value, and to return the value created to shareholders.

Information Security

We and our unconsolidated affiliates are highly dependent on information technology networks and systems to securely process, transmit and store electronic information. Attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication. Such attacks have become a point of focus for individuals, businesses and governmental entities. These attacks can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including non-public personal information, consumer data and proprietary business information.

We and our unconsolidated affiliates remain focused on making strategic investments in information security to protect the clients and information systems of our operating subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates. This includes both capital expenditures and operating expenses on hardware, software, personnel and consulting services. As the primary products and services of our operating subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates evolve, we apply a comprehensive approach to the mitigation of identified security risks. We have established risk management policies, including those related to information security and cybersecurity, designed to monitor and mitigate information security related risks.

Employees

As of February 1, 2019, Cannae and our consolidated subsidiaries had 26,413 full-time equivalent employees, which includes 25,920 in our Restaurant Group, 280 at T-System and 213 in the various businesses comprising our Corporate and other segment.

Table of Contents

None of our employees are unionized or represented by any collective agency. We believe that our relations with employees are generally good.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The statements contained in this Form 10-K or in our other documents or in oral presentations or other statements made by our management that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. These statements relate to, among other things, future financial and operating results of the Company. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following:


•	changes in general economic, business, and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets;


•	compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations or in their application by regulators;


•	loss of key personnel that could negatively affect our financial results and impair our operating abilities;


•	our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, as well as the risks associated with acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties integrating acquisitions;


•	other risks detailed in "Risk Factors" below and elsewhere in this document and in our other filings with the SEC.

We are not under any obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully consider the possibility that actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors Relating to the Company's Corporate History and Structure

We are a holding company and will depend on distributions from our subsidiaries for cash.

We are a holding company whose primary assets are the securities of our portfolio companies. Our ability to pay interest on our outstanding debt, if any, and our other obligations and to pay dividends, if any, is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments to us (such ability of our subsidiaries also being subject to certain restrictions under their respective credit agreements and other debt instruments, as applicable). If our portfolio companies are not able to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to meet our obligations or pay dividends on our common stock. The ability of the Cannae Holdings portfolio companies to pay dividends or to make other payments or advances to us depends on their individual operating results and any statutory, regulatory or contractual restrictions to which they may be or may become subject.

We have a limited operating history as a separate company upon which you can evaluate our performance.

We have a limited operating history as a public company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our business will be successful on a long-term basis. We may not be able to grow our businesses as planned and may not be profitable.

We may become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

We do not believe that we are subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "40 Act"). We were formed for the purpose of effecting the Split-Off and for controlling, operating or holding, as applicable, the FNFV Group's business and investments, including the portfolio companies. We engage primarily in the business of managing and operating our controlled subsidiaries. Our officers and any employees who provide services to us pursuant to the terms of our

Table of Contents

corporate services agreement with FNF devote their activities to the businesses of these portfolio companies. Our interest in the portfolio companies comprises substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our income, if any, is derived from restaurant revenue from our Restaurant Group, the revenue of T-System, and dividends and other distributions made on our interests in portfolio companies. Based on these factors, we believe that we are not an investment company under the 40 Act, including under Section 3(b)(1) of the 40 Act. If, at any time, we become primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, we could become subject to regulation under the 40 Act. Following any such change in our business and after giving effect to any applicable grace periods, we may be required to register as an investment company, which could result in significant registration and compliance costs, could require changes to our corporate governance structure and financial reporting, and could restrict our activities going forward. In addition, if we were to become inadvertently subject to the 40 Act, any violation of the 40 Act could subject us to material adverse consequences, including potentially significant regulatory penalties and the possibility that certain of our contracts would be deemed unenforceable.

General macroeconomic factors, including unemployment, energy prices and interest rates, and certain economic and business factors specific to the restaurant and bakery industries that are largely out of our restaurant businesses' control may materially and adversely affect consumer behavior and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

General economic conditions may materially and adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our restaurant businesses, which we also refer to as our Restaurant Group companies. Recessionary economic cycles, a protracted economic slowdown, a worsening economy, increased unemployment, increased energy prices, rising interest rates, a downgrade of the United States ("U.S.") government's long-term credit rating, financial market volatility and unpredictability or other national, regional and local regulatory and economic conditions or other industry-wide cost pressures could affect consumer behavior and spending for restaurant dining occasions and result in increased pressure with respect to our Restaurant Group companies' pricing, guest count levels and commodity costs, which could lead to a decline in our Restaurant Group companies' sales and earnings. Job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies and falling home prices could cause customers to make fewer discretionary purchases, and any significant decrease in our Restaurant Group companies' guest counts or profit will negatively impact their financial performance. In addition, if gasoline, natural gas, electricity and other energy costs increase, or credit card, home mortgage and other borrowing costs increase with rising interest rates, our Restaurant Group companies' customers may have lower disposable income and reduce the frequency with which they dine at restaurants, may spend less during each visit at our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants or may choose more inexpensive restaurants. These factors could also cause the Restaurant Group companies to, among other things, reduce the number and frequency of new restaurant openings, close restaurants or delay the reimaging of the Restaurant Group companies' existing restaurant locations.

Furthermore, we cannot predict the effects that actual or threatened armed conflicts, terrorist attacks, efforts to combat terrorism, including military action against any foreign state or local group located in a foreign state, heightened security requirements on local, regional, national or international economies or a failure to protect information systems for critical infrastructure, such as the electrical grid and telecommunications systems, could have on the Restaurant Group companies' operations, the economy or consumer confidence generally. Any of these events could affect consumer spending patterns or result in increased costs for the Restaurant Group companies due to security measures.

The business results of our Restaurant Group companies depend on a number of industry-specific factors as well, many of which are beyond the Restaurant Group companies' control. The full service dining sector of the restaurant industry is affected by seasonal fluctuation of sales volumes, consumer confidence, consumer spending patterns and consumer preferences, including changes in consumer tastes and dietary habits, and the level of consumer acceptance of our restaurant brands. The performance of individual restaurants may also be materially and adversely affected by factors applicable to those restaurants, such as demographic trends, severe weather, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants.

Unfavorable changes in the above factors or in other business and economic conditions affecting our Restaurant Group companies' customers or industry could increase costs, reduce guest counts in some or all restaurants or impose practical limits on pricing, any of which could lower profit margins and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Restaurant Group companies could face significant competition for customers, real estate and employees and competitive pressure to adapt to changes in conditions driving customer demand. The Restaurant Group companies' inability to compete effectively may affect guest counts, sales and profit margins, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The restaurant industry is intensely competitive with a substantial number of restaurant operators that compete directly and indirectly with the Restaurant Group companies with respect to price, service, ambiance, brand, customer service, dining experience, location, food quality and variety and value perception of menu items and there are other well established competitors with substantially greater financial and other resources than the Restaurant Group companies. Some of our Restaurant Group companies'

Table of Contents

competitors advertise on national television, which may provide customers with greater awareness and name recognition than our Restaurant Group companies can achieve through their advertising efforts. There is also active competition for management personnel and attractive suitable real estate sites. Consumer tastes and perceptions, nutritional and dietary trends, guest count patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants often affect the restaurant business, and our Restaurant Group companies' competitors may react more efficiently and effectively to those conditions. For instance, prevailing health or dietary preferences or perceptions of our Restaurant Group companies' products may cause consumers to avoid certain menu items or products our Restaurant Group companies offer in favor of foods that are perceived as more healthy, and such choices by consumers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, our Restaurant Group companies face growing competition from the supermarket industry, with the improvement of their "convenient meals" in the deli and prepared food sections, from quick service and fast casual restaurants and online food delivery services as a result of food and beverage offerings by those food providers. As our Restaurant Group companies' competitors expand operations in markets where our restaurant businesses operate or expect to operate, we expect competition to intensify. If our Restaurant Group companies are unable to continue to compete effectively, their guest counts, sales and profit margins could decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Historically, customer spending patterns for the Restaurant Group companies' restaurants are generally highest in the fourth quarter of the year and lowest in the third quarter of the year. Sales activity during the holidays may affect seasonal sales volumes in some of the markets in which our restaurant businesses operate. The quarterly results of our Restaurant Group companies have been and will continue to be affected by the timing of new restaurant openings and their associated costs (which are often materially greater during the first several months of operation than thereafter), restaurant closures and exit-related costs, labor availability and costs for hourly and management personnel, profitability of restaurants, especially in new markets, trends in comparable restaurant sales, changes in borrowings and interest rates, changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions, fluctuations in food and commodity prices, fluctuations in costs attributable to public company compliance and impairments of goodwill, intangible assets and property, fixtures and equipment. As a result of these and other factors, the Restaurant Group companies' financial results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

If our restaurant businesses are unable to effectively grow revenue and profitability at certain of their locations, our Restaurant Group companies may be required to record impairment charges to their restaurant assets, the carrying value of their goodwill or other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Restaurant Group companies assess the potential impairment of their long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner in which an asset is being used, an expectation that an asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life and significant negative industry or economic trends. Our Restaurant Group companies annually review and compare the carrying value of intangible assets, including goodwill, to the fair value. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any recorded impairment to our Restaurant Group companies' assets. Should the value of goodwill or other intangible or long-lived assets become impaired, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Increased commodity, energy and other costs could decrease our Restaurant Group companies' profit margins or cause the Restaurant Group companies to limit or otherwise modify their menus, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The cost, availability and quality of ingredients restaurant operations use to prepare their food is subject to a range of factors, many of which are beyond their control. A significant component of our restaurant businesses' costs will be related to food commodities, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, poultry, dairy products, oils, produce, fruit, flour and other related costs such as energy and transportation over which we may have little control, which can be subject to significant price fluctuations due to seasonal shifts, climate conditions, industry demand, changes in international commodity markets and other factors. If there is a substantial increase in prices for these commodities, our Restaurant Group companies' results of operations may be negatively affected. In addition, the Restaurant Group companies' restaurants are dependent upon frequent deliveries of perishable food products that meet certain specifications. Shortages or interruptions in the supply of perishable food products caused by unanticipated demand, problems in production or distribution, disease or food-borne illnesses, inclement weather or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality, and cost of ingredients, which would likely lower revenues, damage the Restaurant Group companies' reputation or otherwise harm our business.

The Restaurant Group companies are also subject to the general risks of inflation. The performance of our Restaurant Group companies' business is also adversely affected by increases in the price of utilities, such as natural gas, whether as a result of inflation, shortages or interruptions in supply, or otherwise. The Restaurant Group companies' business will also incur significant costs for insurance, labor, marketing, taxes, real estate, borrowing and litigation, all of which could increase due to inflation, changes in laws and regulations, competition or other events beyond the Restaurant Group companies' control.

Table of Contents

Negative customer experiences or negative publicity surrounding our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants or other restaurants could adversely affect sales in one or more of our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants and make our concepts less valuable, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because we believe our Restaurant Group companies' success depends significantly on their ability to provide exceptional food quality, outstanding service and an excellent overall dining experience, adverse publicity, whether or not accurate, relating to food quality, public health concerns, illness, safety, injury or government or industry findings concerning our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants, restaurants operated by other food service providers or others across the food industry supply chain could affect our Restaurant Group companies more than it would other restaurants that compete primarily on price or other factors. If customers perceive or experience a reduction in the food quality, service or ambiance at our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants or in any way believe our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants have failed to deliver a consistently positive experience, the value and popularity of one or more of our Restaurant Group companies' concepts could suffer. Further, because our restaurant businesses rely heavily on "word-of-mouth," as opposed to more conventional mediums of advertisement, to establish concept recognition, our restaurant businesses may be more adversely affected by negative customer experiences than other dining establishments, including those of our restaurant businesses' competitors.

Our restaurant businesses could suffer due to reduced demand for our restaurant businesses' brands or specific menu offerings if our restaurant businesses are the subject of negative publicity or litigation regarding allegations of food-related contaminations or illnesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Food safety is a top priority, and our Restaurant Group companies dedicate substantial resources to ensuring that their customers enjoy safe, quality food products. Food-related contaminations and illnesses may be caused by a variety of food-borne pathogens, such as e-coli or salmonella, which are frequently carried on unwashed fruits and vegetables, from a variety of illnesses transmitted by restaurant workers, such as hepatitis A, which may not be diagnosed prior to being infectious, and from contamination of food by foreign substances. Contamination and food borne illness incidents could also be caused at the point of source or by food suppliers and distributors. As a result, we cannot control all of the potential sources of contamination or illness that can be contained in or transmitted from our Restaurant Group companies' food. Regardless of the source or cause, any report of food-borne illnesses or other food safety issues including food tampering or contamination, at one of our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants could adversely affect the reputation of our Restaurant Group companies' brands and have a negative impact on their sales. Even instances of food-borne illness, food tampering or food contamination occurring solely at restaurants of our Restaurant Group companies' competitors or at one of our Restaurant Group companies' suppliers could result in negative publicity about the food service industry generally and adversely impact our Restaurant Group companies' sales.

If any person becomes injured or ill, or alleges becoming injured or ill, as a result of eating our Restaurant Group companies' food, our Restaurant Group companies may temporarily close some restaurants or their bakery facilities, which would decrease their revenues, and our restaurant businesses may be liable for damages or be subject to governmental regulatory action, either of which could have long-lasting, negative effects on our restaurant businesses' reputation, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether our restaurant businesses are found liable. The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or food safety issues could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, resulting in higher costs and lower margins.

Our Restaurant Group companies' failure to comply with government regulation, and the costs of compliance or non-compliance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Restaurant Group companies are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting their business. Each of their restaurants and their bakery division are subject to licensing and regulation by a number of federal, state and local governmental authorities, which may include, among others, alcoholic beverage control, health and safety, nutritional menu labeling, health care, environmental and fire agencies. Difficulty in obtaining or failure to obtain the required licenses, including liquor or other licenses, permits or approval could delay or prevent the development of a new restaurant in a particular area. Additionally, difficulties or inabilities to retain or renew licenses, or increased compliance costs due to changed regulations, could adversely affect operations at existing restaurants.

While only approximately 9% of the Restaurant Group companies' consolidated restaurant sales in 2018 were attributable to the sale of alcoholic beverages, approximately 19% of the restaurant sales at Ninety Nine were attributable to the sale of alcoholic beverages in 2018. Alcoholic beverage control regulations require each restaurant to apply to a state authority and, in certain locations, county or municipal authorities for a license or permit to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises and to provide service for extended hours and on Sundays. Typically, licenses must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. Alcoholic beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of daily operations of the Restaurant Group companies' restaurants, including minimum ages of patrons and employees, hours of operation, advertising, training, wholesale purchasing, inventory control and the handling, storage and dispensation of alcoholic beverages. The failure of a restaurant to obtain or retain liquor or food service licenses would adversely affect the restaurant's operations.

Our restaurant businesses' operations are also subject to federal and state labor laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, governing such matters as minimum wages, overtime, tip credits and worker conditions. The Restaurant Group companies' employees who receive tips as part of their compensation, such as servers, are generally paid at a minimum wage rate, after giving effect to applicable tip credits. The Restaurant Group companies rely on their employees to accurately disclose the full amount of their tip income, and they base their Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax reporting on the disclosures provided to them by such tipped employees. Significant numbers of these personnel are paid at rates related to the applicable minimum wage and thus, further increases in the federal or state minimum wage or other changes in these laws could increase our Restaurant Group companies' labor costs. Their ability to respond to minimum wage increases by increasing menu prices will depend on the responses of their competitors and customers.

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the "PPACA " ) was signed into law in the U.S. to require healthcare coverage for many uninsured individuals and expand coverage to those already insured. Starting in 2015, the PPACA required the Restaurant Group companies to offer healthcare benefits to all full-time employees (including full-time hourly employees) that meet certain minimum requirements of coverage and affordability, or face penalties. Continued compliance with the requirements of the PPACA and rising costs of healthcare may impose additional administrative costs. The costs and other effects of these healthcare requirements may significantly increase our Restaurant Group companies' healthcare coverage costs in future periods and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is also a potential for increased regulation of certain food establishments in the U.S., where compliance with Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points ("HACCP") management systems may now be required. HACCP refers to a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of potential hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. Many states have required restaurants to develop and implement HACCP programs and the U.S. government continues to expand the sectors of the food industry that must adopt and implement HACCP programs. For example, the Food Safety Modernization Act, signed into law in January 2011, granted the FDA new authority regarding the safety of the entire food system, including through increased inspections and mandatory food recalls. We anticipate that the new requirements may impact the restaurant industry. Additionally, our Restaurant Group companies' suppliers may initiate or otherwise be subject to food recalls that may impact the availability of certain products, result in adverse publicity or require the Restaurant Group companies' to take actions that could be costly for them or otherwise harm their business.

In addition, in order to develop and construct restaurants, the Restaurant Group companies must comply with applicable zoning, land use and environmental regulations. Such regulations have not had a material effect on its operations to date, but more stringent and varied requirements of local governmental bodies could delay or prevent construction and increase development costs for new restaurants. The Restaurant Group companies are also subject to federal and state laws which prohibit discrimination and other accessibility standards as mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), which generally, among other things, prohibits discrimination in accommodation or employment based on disability. The ADA became effective as to public accommodations and employment in 1992. Pursuant to the ADA, our restaurant businesses may in the future have to modify restaurants, by adding access ramps or redesigning certain architectural fixtures for example, to provide service to or make reasonable accommodations for disabled persons. While these expenses could be material, the Restaurant Group companies' current expectation is that any such actions will not require substantial capital expenditures.

The Restaurant Group companies are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, emission and disposal of hazardous materials. There also has been increasing focus by the U.S. on other environmental matters, such as climate change, the reduction of greenhouse gases and water consumption. This increased focus may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an as yet unspecified array of environmental matters, such as the emission of greenhouse gases, and "cap and trade" initiatives could effectively impose a tax on carbon emissions. Legislative, regulatory or other efforts to combat climate change or other environmental concerns could result in future increases in the cost of raw materials, commodities, taxes, transportation and utilities, which could decrease our Restaurant Group companies' operating profits and necessitate future investments in facilities and equipment.

The Restaurant Group companies are subject to laws and regulations relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments, gift cards and consumer credit, protection and fraud, and any failure or perceived or alleged failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm their reputation or lead to litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The impact of current laws and regulations, the effect of future changes in laws or regulations that impose additional requirements and the consequences of litigation relating to current or future laws and regulations, or an insufficient or ineffective response to significant regulatory or public policy issues, could increase our Restaurant Group companies' cost structure or lessen their operational efficiencies and talent availability, and therefore have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Failure to comply with the laws and regulatory requirements of federal, state and local authorities could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses, administrative enforcement actions, fines and civil and criminal

Table of Contents

liability. Compliance with these laws and regulations can be costly and can increase the Restaurant Group companies' exposure to litigation or governmental investigations or proceedings.

Restaurant companies, including our restaurant companies, are the target of claims and lawsuits from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Proceedings of this nature, if successful, could result in our payment of substantial costs and damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Restaurant Group companies and other restaurant companies have been subject to claims and lawsuits alleging various matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including those that follow. Claims and lawsuits may include class action lawsuits, alleging violations of federal and state laws regarding workplace and employment matters, discrimination and similar matters. A number of these lawsuits have resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants. Similar lawsuits have been instituted from time to time alleging violations of various federal and state wage and hour laws regarding, among other things, employee meal deductions, the sharing of tips amongst certain employees, overtime eligibility of assistant managers and failure to pay for all hours worked. Although our restaurant businesses will maintain what we believe to be adequate levels of insurance, insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these matters. Accordingly, if our restaurant businesses are required to pay substantial damages and expenses as a result of these types or other lawsuits, such payments or expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Occasionally, our Restaurant Group companies' customers may file complaints or lawsuits against the Restaurant Group companies alleging that they are responsible for some illness or injury the customers suffered at or after a visit to one of the Restaurant Group companies' restaurants, including actions seeking damages resulting from food-borne illness and relating to notices with respect to chemicals contained in food products required under state law. Our Restaurant Group companies may also be subject to a variety of other claims from third parties arising in the ordinary course of their business, including personal injury claims, contract claims and claims alleging violations of federal and state laws. In addition, most of our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants are subject to state "dram shop" or similar laws which generally allow a person to sue our restaurant businesses if that person was injured by a legally intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants. The restaurant industry has also been subject to a growing number of claims that the menus and actions of restaurant chains have led to the obesity of certain of their customers. In addition, the Restaurant Group companies may also be subject to lawsuits from their employees or others alleging violations of federal and state laws regarding workplace and employment matters, discrimination and similar matters. A number of these lawsuits in the restaurant industry have resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants.

Additionally, certain of the Restaurant Group companies' tax returns and employment practices are subject to audits by the IRS and various state tax authorities. Such audits could result in disputes regarding tax matters that could lead to litigation that would be costly to defend or could result in the payment of additional taxes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Regardless of whether any claims against the Restaurant Group companies are valid or whether they are liable, claims may be expensive to defend and may divert resources away from their operations. In addition, such claims may generate negative publicity, which could reduce customer traffic and sales. Although our restaurant businesses will maintain what they believe to be adequate levels of insurance, insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. Defense costs, even for unfounded claims, or a judgment or other liability in excess of our restaurant businesses' insurance coverage for any claims or any adverse publicity resulting from claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Restaurant Group companies rely heavily on information technology and any material failure, interruption, or security breach in their systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Restaurant Group companies rely heavily on information technology systems across their operations and corporate functions, including for order and delivery from suppliers and distributors, point-of-sale processing in their restaurants, management of their supply chains, payment of obligations, collection of cash, bakery production, data warehousing to support analytics, finance or accounting systems, labor optimization tools, gift cards, online business and various other processes and transactions, including the storage of employee and customer information. The Restaurant Group companies' ability to effectively manage their business and coordinate the production, distribution and sale of their products will depend significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. In August 2015, the Restaurant Group companies upgraded their information systems using a third-party provider. However, the failure of these systems to operate effectively, maintenance problems or problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems could cause delays in product sales and reduced efficiency of our restaurant businesses' operations, and significant capital investments could be required to remediate the problem.

The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and constantly changing requirements. Compliance with these requirements may result in cost increases due to necessary systems changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, customers and employees have a high expectation that our restaurant businesses will adequately protect their personal information. The majority of our restaurant

Table of Contents

businesses' restaurant sales are by credit or debit cards. We and other restaurants and retailers have experienced security breaches in which credit and debit card information of their customers has been stolen.

In addition, any breach in customer payment information could result in investigations by the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force ("ECTF") and increased cost in our restaurant businesses' efforts to cooperate with the ECTF.

The Restaurant Group companies also maintain certain personal information regarding their employees. In addition to government investigations, the Restaurant Group companies may in the future become subject to lawsuits or other proceedings for purportedly fraudulent transactions arising out of the actual or alleged theft of their customers' credit or debit card information or if customer or employee information is obtained by unauthorized persons or used inappropriately. If the Restaurant Group companies fail to comply with these laws and regulations or experience a significant breach of customer, employee or company data, their reputation could be damaged and they could experience lost sales, fines or lawsuits. Additionally, if a person is able to circumvent the security measures intended to protect our Restaurant Group companies' employee or customer private data, he or she could destroy or steal valuable information and disrupt our restaurant businesses' operations. The Restaurant Group companies may also be required to incur additional costs to modify or enhance their systems in order to prevent or remediate any such attacks.

The success of the Restaurant Group depends, in part, on its intellectual property, which we may be unable to protect.

We regard our service marks, including "O'Charley's", "Ninety Nine", "Village Inn", "Legendary Baking", and "Bakers Square", and other service marks and trademarks as having significant value and as being important factors in the marketing of our restaurants. We have also obtained trademarks for several of our menu items and for various advertising slogans. We are aware of names and marks similar to our service marks and trademarks used by other persons in certain geographic areas where we have restaurants. We believe such uses will not adversely affect us and our policy is to pursue registration of our marks whenever possible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of our marks.

Occasionally, third parties may assert that we are, or may be, infringing on or misappropriating their intellectual property rights. In these cases, we intend to defend against claims or negotiate licenses when we consider these actions appropriate. Intellectual property cases are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. If we become involved in this type of litigation, it could consume significant resources and divert our attention from business operations.

If we are found to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we could incur significant damages, be enjoined from continuing to use certain marks, or be required to obtain a license to continue using the affected marketing and promotional materials. A license could be very expensive to obtain or may not be available at all. Similarly, changing our marketing plan to avoid infringing the rights of others may be costly or impracticable.

Factors Relating to Ceridian

Ceridian's solutions and business are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection, and information security. Any failure by Ceridian or its third party service providers, as well as the failure of its platform or services, to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Ceridian is subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including regulation by various federal government agencies, including the FTC, and state and local agencies. The United States and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on, or requirements regarding, the collection, distribution, use, security, and storage of Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") of individuals; and the FTC and many state attorneys general are applying federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards on the online collection, use and dissemination of data. Self-regulatory obligations, other industry standards, policies, and other legal obligations may apply to Ceridian's collection, distribution, use, security, or storage of PII or other data relating to individuals. In addition, most states and some foreign governments have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of PII. These obligations may be interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with one another, other regulatory requirements, or Ceridian's internal practices. Any failure or perceived failure by Ceridian to comply with U.S., E.U., or other foreign privacy or security laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, or legal obligations, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release, or transfer of, PII may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity and could cause Ceridian's customers to lose trust in it, which could harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet

Table of Contents

determine the impact such future laws, regulations, and standards may have on Ceridian's business. For example, in May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation came into force, bringing with it a complete overhaul of E.U. data protection laws: the new rules supersede E.U. data protection legislation, impose more stringent E.U. data protection requirements, and provide for greater penalties for non-compliance. Changing definitions of what constitutes PII may also limit or inhibit Ceridian's ability to operate or to expand its business, including limiting strategic partnerships that may involve the sharing of data. Also, some jurisdictions require that certain types of data be retained on servers within these jurisdictions. Ceridian's failure to comply with applicable laws, directives, and regulations may result in enforcement action against it, including fines and imprisonment, and damage to Ceridian's reputation, any of which may have an adverse effect on its business and operating results. Further, in October 2015, the European Court of Justice issued a ruling invalidating the U.S.-E.U. Safe Harbor Framework, which facilitated transfers of PII to the United States in compliance with applicable E.U. data protection laws. In July 2016, the E.U. and the U.S. political authorities adopted the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield, replacing the Safe Harbor Framework and providing a new mechanism for companies to transfer E.U. PII to the United States. U.S. organizations wishing to self-certify under the Privacy Shield must pledge their compliance with its seven core and sixteen supplemental principles, which are based on European Data Protection Law.

If Ceridian's service is perceived to cause, or is otherwise unfavorably associated with, violations of privacy or data security requirements, it may subject it or its customers to public criticism and potential legal liability. Public concerns regarding PII processing, privacy and security may cause some of its customers’ end users to be less likely to visit their websites or otherwise interact with them. If enough end users choose not to visit Ceridian's customers’ websites or otherwise interact with them, Ceridian's customers could stop using its platform. This, in turn, may reduce the value of its services and slow or eliminate the growth of its business. Existing and potential privacy laws and regulations concerning privacy and data security and increasing sensitivity of consumers to unauthorized processing of PII may create negative public reactions to technologies, products, and services such as Ceridians.

Evolving and changing definitions of what constitutes PII and / or “Personal Data” within the United States, Canada, the European Union, and elsewhere, especially relating to the classification of internet protocol, or IP addresses, machine or device identification numbers, location data and other information, may limit or inhibit Ceridian's ability to operate or to expand its business. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could impair Ceridian's ability to collect or to use information that it utilizes to provide email delivery and marketing services to its customers, thereby impairing its ability to maintain and to grow its customer base and to increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing, or disclosure of our customers’ data or additional requirements for express or implied consent of customers for the use and disclosure of such information may limit our ability to develop new services and features.

Privacy concerns and laws or other domestic or foreign data protection regulations may reduce the effectiveness of Ceridian's applications, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Ceridian's customers can use its applications to collect, to use, and to store PII regarding their employees, independent contractors, and job applicants. Federal, state, and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted, are considering adopting, or may adopt laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage and disclosure of PII obtained from individuals. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws and regulations that are applicable to the businesses of Ceridian's customers, or to its business directly, may limit the use and adoption of Ceridian's applications and reduce overall demand, or lead to significant fines, penalties, or liabilities for any non-compliance with such privacy laws. Furthermore, privacy concerns may cause Ceridian's customers’ workers to resist providing PII necessary to allow its customers to use its applications effectively. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of Ceridian's applications in certain industries.

All of these domestic and international legislative and regulatory initiatives may adversely affect Ceridian's customers’ ability to process, to handle, to store, to use, and to transmit demographic information and PII from their employees, independent contractors, job applicants, customers, and suppliers, which could reduce demand for our applications. The European Union and many countries in Europe have stringent privacy laws and regulations, which may impact Ceridian's ability to profitably operate in certain European countries.

Further, international data protection regulations trending toward increased localized data residency rules make transfers from outside the regulation’s jurisdiction increasingly complex and may impact our ability to deliver solutions that meet all customers’ needs. If the processing of PII were to be further curtailed in this manner, our solutions could be less effective, which may reduce demand for our applications, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy groups and the technology and other industries are considering various new, additional, or different self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on us. If the processing of PII were to be

Table of Contents

curtailed in this manner, our solutions would be less effective, which may reduce demand for our applications, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Ceridian's indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Ceridian's outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2018 consisted of (i) a Senior Term Loan in the original principal amount of $680.0 million and (ii) a $300.0 million committed Revolving Facility. The Senior Credit Facilities are secured substantially by all of our assets. The Senior Term Loan has a maturity date of April 30, 2025, and the Revolving Facility has a maturity date of April 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2018, we had $678.3 million outstanding principal under our Senior Term Loan and no principal outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

Ceridian's outstanding indebtedness and any additional indebtedness it incurs may have important consequences for Ceridian, including, without limitation, that:


•	Ceridian may be required to use a substantial portion of its cash flow to pay the principal of and interest on its indebtedness;


•	Ceridian's indebtedness and leverage may increase its vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressures;


•	Ceridian's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and for general corporate and other purposes may be limited;


•	Ceridian's indebtedness may expose it to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of its borrowings, including and most significantly its borrowings under its Senior Credit Facilities, are at variable rates of interest;


•	Ceridian's indebtedness may prevent it from taking advantage of business opportunities as they arise or successfully carrying out its plans to expand its business; and


•	Ceridian's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and industry may be limited.

Under the terms of the agreements governing Ceridian's Senior Credit Facilities, Ceridian is required to comply with specified operating covenants and, under certain circumstances, a financial covenant applicable to the Revolving Facility, which may limit Ceridian's ability to operate its business as it otherwise might operate it. For example, the obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain material indebtedness, covenant defaults, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy events, material judgments, material defects with respect to guarantees and collateral, and change of control. If not cured, an event of default could result in any amounts outstanding, including any accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable, which would require Ceridian, among other things, to seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets, to refinance or restructure all or a portion of its indebtedness, to sell selected assets, and/or to reduce or to delay planned capital or operating expenditures. Such measures might not be sufficient to enable Ceridian to service its debt, and any such financing or refinancing might not be available on economically favorable terms or at all. If Ceridian is not able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its debt service obligations or are forced to take additional measures to be able to service its indebtedness, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

An information security breach of Ceridian's systems or the loss of, or unauthorized access to, customer information, failure to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) ongoing consent order regarding data protection, or a system disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, market brand, financial condition, and results of operations.

Ceridian's business is dependent on its payroll, transaction, financial, accounting, and other data processing systems. Ceridian relies on these systems to process, on a daily and time sensitive basis, a large number of complicated transactions. Ceridian electronically receives, processes, stores, and transmits data and personally identifiable information (“PII”) about its customers and their employees, as well as its vendors and other business partners, including names, social security numbers, and checking account numbers. Ceridian keeps this information confidential. However, Ceridian's websites, networks, applications and technologies, and other information systems may be targeted for sabotage, disruption, or data misappropriation. The uninterrupted operation of Ceridian's information systems and Ceridian's ability to maintain the confidentiality of PII and other customer and individual information that resides on its systems are critical to the successful operation of Ceridian's business. While Ceridian has information security and business continuity programs, these plans may not be sufficient to ensure the uninterrupted operation of its systems or to prevent unauthorized access to the systems by unauthorized third parties. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, Ceridian may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. These concerns about information security are increased with the mounting sophistication of social engineering. Ceridian's network security hardening may be bypassed by phishing and other social engineering techniques that seek to use end user behaviors to distribute computer viruses and malware into its systems, which might disrupt Ceridian's delivery of services and make them unavailable, and might also

Table of Contents

result in the disclosure or misappropriation of PII or other confidential or sensitive information. In addition, a significant cyber security breach could prevent or delay Ceridian's ability to process payment transactions.

Any information security breach in Ceridian's business processes or of its processing systems has the potential to impact its customer information and its financial reporting capabilities, which could result in the potential loss of business and Ceridian's ability to accurately report financial results. If any of these systems fail to operate properly or become disabled even for a brief period of time, Ceridian could potentially miss a critical filing period, resulting in potential fees and penalties, or lose control of customer data, all of which could result in financial loss, a disruption of Ceridian's businesses, liability to customers, regulatory intervention, or damage to its reputation. The continued occurrence of high-profile data breaches provides evidence of an external environment increasingly hostile to information security. If Ceridian's security measures are breached as a result of third party action, employee or subcontractor error, malfeasance or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to customer data, Ceridian's reputation may be damaged, its business may suffer, and Ceridian could incur significant liability. Ceridian may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period of time. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and are growing increasingly sophisticated. As a result, Ceridian may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.

This environment demands that Ceridian continuously improve its design and coordination of security controls throughout the company. Despite these efforts, it is possible that Ceridian's security controls over data, training, and other practices it follows may not prevent the improper disclosure of PII or other confidential information. Any issue of data privacy as it relates to unauthorized access to or loss of customer and/or employee information could result in the potential loss of business, damage to Ceridian's market reputation, litigation, and regulatory investigation and penalties. For example, in December 2009 a criminal hacked into Ceridian's discontinued U.S. payroll application. Following receipt of an “access letter” in May 2010 from the FTC for a non-public review of the matter, Ceridian worked with the FTC and entered into a twenty-year consent order which became final in June 2011. Ceridian conceded no wrongdoing in the order and they were not subject to any monetary fines or penalties. However, in connection with the order, Ceridian is required to, among other things, maintain a comprehensive information security program that is reasonable and appropriate for its size, and complexity, and for the type of PII it collects. Ceridian is also required to have portions of its security program, which apply to certain segments of its U.S. business, reviewed by an independent third party on a biennial basis. Maintaining, updating, monitoring, and revising an information security program in an effort to ensure that it remains reasonable and appropriate in light of changes in security threats, changes in technology, and security vulnerabilities that arise from legacy systems is time-consuming and complex, and is an ongoing effort.

There may be other such security vulnerabilities that come to Ceridian's attention. The independent third party that reviews Ceridian's security program pursuant to the FTC consent order may determine that the existence of vulnerabilities in its security controls or the failure to remedy them in a timeframe they deem appropriate means that its security program does not provide a reasonable level of assurance that the security, confidentiality, and integrity of PII is protected by Ceridian (or that there was a failure to protect at some point in the reporting period). While Ceridian has taken and continues to take steps to ensure compliance with the consent order, if they are determined not to be in compliance with the consent order, or if any new breaches of security occur, the FTC may take enforcement actions or other parties may initiate a lawsuit. Any such resulting fines and penalties could have a material adverse effect on Ceridian's liquidity and financial results, and any reputational damage therefrom could adversely affect Ceridian's relationships with its existing customers and its ability to attain new customers. Ceridian's continued investment in the security of its technology systems, continued efforts to improve the controls within its technology systems, business processes improvements and the enhancements to its culture of information security may not successfully prevent attempts to breach Ceridian's security or unauthorized access to PII or other confidential, sensitive or proprietary information. In addition, in the event of a catastrophic occurrence, either natural or man-made, Ceridian's ability to protect its infrastructure, including PII and other customer data, and to maintain ongoing operations could be significantly impaired. Ceridian's business continuity and disaster recovery plans and strategies may not be successful in mitigating the effects of a catastrophic occurrence. Insurance may be inadequate or may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, Ceridian's insurance policies may not cover all claims made against them, and defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert management’s attention. If Ceridian's security is breached, if PII or other confidential information is accessed, if Ceridian fails to comply with the consent order or if Ceridian experiences a catastrophic occurrence, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations, and ultimately the value of our investment in Ceridian.

Litigation and regulatory investigations aimed at Ceridian or resulting from actions of its predecessor may result in significant financial losses and harm to its reputation.

Ceridian faces risk of litigation, regulatory investigations, and similar actions in the ordinary course of its business, including the risk of lawsuits and other legal actions relating to breaches of contractual obligations or tortious claims from customers or other third parties, fines, penalties, interest, or other damages as a result of erroneous transactions, breach of data privacy laws, or lawsuits and legal actions related to Ceridian's predecessors. Any such action may include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory damages, as well as civil, regulatory, or criminal proceedings against Ceridian's directors, officers, or employees;

Table of Contents

and the probability and amount of liability, if any, may remain unknown for significant periods of time. Ceridian may be also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, and book and records examinations, from regulators and other authorities in the geographical markets in which Ceridian operates. A substantial liability arising from a lawsuit judgment or settlement or a significant regulatory action against Ceridian or a disruption in its business arising from adverse adjudications in proceedings against its directors, officers, or employees could have a material adverse effect on Ceridian's business, financial condition, and results or operations and ultimately the value of our investment in Ceridian.

Additionally, Ceridian is subject to claims and investigations as a result of its predecessor, Control Data Corporation (“CDC”), Ceridian Corporation, and other former entities for whom Ceridian is successor-in-interest with respect to assumed liabilities. For example, in September 1989, CDC became party to an environmental matters agreement with Seagate Technology plc (“Seagate”) related to groundwater contamination on a parcel of real estate in Omaha, Nebraska sold by CDC to Seagate. In February 1988, CDC entered into an arrangement with Northern Engraving Corporation and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in relation to groundwater contamination at a site in Spring Grove, Minnesota. In August 2017, Ceridian received notice of a mesothelioma claim related to CDC. Although Ceridian is fully reserved for the groundwater contamination liabilities, Ceridian cannot at this time accurately assess the merits of these claims, and cannot be certain if additional liabilities related to such predecessor companies will surface. Moreover, even if Ceridian ultimately prevails in or settles any litigation, regulatory action, or investigation, Ceridian could suffer significant harm to its reputation, which could materially affect its ability to attract new customers, to retain current customers, and to recruit and to retain employees, which could have a material adverse effect on Ceridian's business, financial condition, and results of operations, and ultimately, the value of our investment in Ceridian.

The failure of Ceridian's business to comply with applicable laws could result in substantial taxes, penalties and liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Ceridian is subject to various laws and regulations, and its failure to comply with such laws and regulations could adversely affect our business. For example, Ceridian's customers remit employer and employee tax funds to its businesses. Ceridian processes the data received from its customers and remits the funds along with a tax return to the appropriate taxing authorities when due. Under various service agreements with its customers, Ceridian assumes financial responsibility for the payment of the taxes, penalties and liabilities assessed against its customers arising out of its failure to fulfill its obligations under its agreements with these customers, unless these taxes, penalties or liabilities are attributable to the customer's failure to comply with the terms of the agreement the customer has with Ceridian. These taxes, penalties and liabilities could, in some cases, be substantial and could adversely affect Ceridian's business and operating results. Additionally, Ceridian's failure to fulfill its obligations under its customer agreements could adversely affect Ceridian's reputation, its relationship with its customers and its ability to gain new customers. In addition, mistakes may occur in connection with this service. Ceridian and its customers may be subject to penalties imposed by tax authorities for late filings or underpayment of taxes.

Ceridian is subject to risks related to its international operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Approximately 30% of Ceridian's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was obtained from companies headquartered outside of the United States, primarily from Canada. Ceridian's Canada operations provide certain HCM solutions for its Canadian customers. Ceridian is continuing to expand its international Cloud solutions into other countries. As such, Ceridian's international operations are subject to risks that could adversely affect those operations or its business as a whole, including:


•	costs of localizing products and services for foreign customers;


•	difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;


•	difficulties and increased expenses related to introducing corporate policies and controls in our international operations;


•	difficulties with or inability to engage global partners;


•	longer sales and payment cycles;


•	the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;


•	compliance with applicable anti-bribery laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;


•	additional regulatory compliance requirements;


•	exposure to legal jurisdictions that may not recognize or interpret customer contracts appropriately;


•	potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, the tax cost on the repatriation of earnings, and changes in tax rates;


•	restrictions on transfer of funds, laws and business practices favoring local competitors;

Table of Contents


•	reduced or varied protection for intellectual property and other legal rights as compared to the United States;


•	practical difficulties in enforcing intellectual property and other rights outside of the United States;


•	exposure to local economic and political conditions; and


•	changes in currency exchange rates, and in particular, changes in the currency exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars.

In addition, we anticipate that customers and potential customers may increasingly require and demand that a single vendor provide HCM solutions and services for their employees in a number of countries. If we are unable to provide the required services on a multinational basis, there may be a negative impact on our new orders and customer retention, which would negatively impact revenue and earnings. Although we have a multinational strategy, additional investment and efforts may be necessary to implement such strategy. Some of our business partners also have international operations and are subject to the risks described above. Even if we are able to successfully manage the risks of international operations, our business may be adversely affected if our business partners are not able to successfully manage these risks.

Factors Relating to T-System

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated at the local, state and federal levels. T-System's failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and negatively affect T-System's business.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and is constantly evolving due to the changing political, legislative and regulatory landscapes. In some instances, to the extent that they are subject to these laws and regulations, these regulations directly impact T-System's business. However, these regulations also impact T-System's business indirectly as, in a number of circumstances, T-System's solutions and services must be capable of being used by its customers in a way that complies with those laws and regulations, even though T-System may not be directly regulated by the specific healthcare laws and regulations. There is a significant number of wide-ranging regulations, including regulations in the areas of healthcare fraud, e-prescribing, claims processing and transmission, medical devices, the security and privacy of patient data, the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act ("ARRA") meaningful use program, and interoperability standards, that may be directly or indirectly applicable to T-System's operations and relationships or the business practices of its customers.

Economic, market and other factors may cause a decline in spending for information technology and services by T-System's current and prospective customers which may result in less demand for its products, lower prices and, consequently, lower revenues and a lower revenue growth rate.

The purchase of T-System's information system involves a significant financial commitment by its customers. At the same time, the healthcare industry faces significant financial pressures that could adversely affect overall spending on healthcare information technology and services. For example, the recent actual and potential reductions in federal and state funding for Medicare and Medicaid has caused hospitals to reduce, eliminate or postpone information technology related and other spending. To the extent spending for healthcare information technology and services declines or increases slower than T-System's anticipates, demand for its products and services, as well as the prices it charges, could be adversely affected. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that T-System will be able to increase or maintain its revenues or its revenue growth rate.

If T-System's security is breached, it could be subject to liability, and clients could be deterred from using its products and services.

T-System's business relies on the secure electronic transmission, storage and hosting of sensitive information, including Protected Health Information ("PHI"), financial information and other sensitive information relating to its clients, company and workforce. As a result, T-System faces risk of a deliberate or unintentional incident involving unauthorized access to its computer systems or data that could result in the misappropriation or loss of assets or the disclosure of sensitive information, the corruption of data, or other disruption of its business operations. Similarly, denial-of-service, ransomware or other Internet-based attacks may range from mere vandalism of T-System's electronic systems to systematic theft of sensitive information and intellectual property. We believe that, in recent years, companies in T-System's industry have been targeted by such events with increasing frequency, primarily due to the increasing value of healthcare-related data.

Various risks could affect T-System's worldwide operations, exposing it to significant costs.

T-System conducts operations in the United States, India, and the Philippines, either directly or through its service providers. Such worldwide operations expose T-System to potential operational disruptions and costs as a result of a wide variety of events, including local inflation or economic downturn, currency exchange fluctuations, political turmoil, terrorism, labor issues, natural disasters, unfavorable intellectual property protection, and pandemics. Any such disruptions or costs could have a negative effect on T-System's ability to provide its services or meet its contractual obligations, the cost of its services, client and user satisfaction, its ability to attract or maintain clients and users, and, ultimately, its profits.

If T-System is unable to effectively grow revenue and profitability we may be required to record impairment charges to their assets, the carrying value of their goodwill or other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We assess the potential impairment of T-System's long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner in which an asset is being used, an expectation that an asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life and significant negative industry or economic trends. We annually review and compare the carrying value of intangible assets, including goodwill, to the fair value. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any recorded impairment to T-System's assets and there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Factors Relating to the Company's Corporate and Other Businesses

Competition and technology may erode the Corporate and Other business franchises and result in lower earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Each of the Corporate and Other businesses face intense competitive pressures within markets in which they operate. While we will manage our businesses with the objective of achieving long-term sustainable growth by developing and strengthening competitive advantages, many factors, including market and technology changes, may erode or prevent the strengthening of competitive advantages. Accordingly, future operating results will depend to some degree on whether our Corporate and Other businesses are successful in protecting or enhancing their competitive advantages. If our Corporate and Other businesses are unsuccessful in these efforts, our periodic operating results in the future may decline from current levels.

The Corporate and Other businesses, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, are involved in legal proceedings and may experience unfavorable outcomes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporate and Other businesses, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, are involved in pending and threatened litigation matters, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. These companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies. The Corporate and Other businesses may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to their satisfaction, and these matters may involve claims for substantial amounts of money or for other relief that might necessitate changes to their business or operations. The defense of these actions may be both time consuming and expensive and their outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Determining reserves for pending litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that requires significant legal judgment. It is possible that unfavorable outcomes in one or more such proceedings could result in substantial payments that could have a material adverse effect on the Corporate and Other businesses' cash flows in a particular period or on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with, or changes in, laws or regulations applicable to the Corporate and Other businesses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporate and Other businesses will be subject to certain laws, such as certain environmental laws, takeover laws, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, escheat or abandoned property laws, and antitrust laws, that may impose requirements on us and them as an affiliated group. As a result, we could become jointly and severally liable for all or part of fines imposed on our Corporate and Other businesses or be fined directly for violations committed by these businesses, and such fines imposed directly on us could be greater than those imposed on such businesses. Compliance with these laws or contracts could also require us to commit significant resources and capital towards information gathering and monitoring thereby increasing our operating costs.

Similarly, the Corporate and Other businesses may be subject to contractual obligations which may impose obligations or restrictions on their affiliates. The interpretation of such contractual provisions will depend on local laws. Given that we do not control all of the Corporate and Other businesses and that they generally operate independently of each other, there is a risk that we could contravene one or more of such laws, regulations and contractual arrangements due to limited access and opportunities to monitor compliance. In addition, compliance with these laws or contracts could require us to commit significant resources and capital towards information gathering and monitoring thereby increasing our operating costs.

We need qualified personnel to manage and operate our Corporate and Other businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In our decentralized business model, we need qualified and competent management to direct day-to-day business activities of our Corporate and Other businesses. Our Corporate and Other businesses also need qualified and competent personnel in executing their business plans and serving their customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. Changes in demographics, training requirements and the unavailability of qualified personnel could negatively impact our Corporate and Other businesses' ability to meet demands of customers to supply goods and services. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is important to all of our Corporate and Other businesses' operations. Although our Corporate and Other businesses have adequate personnel for the current business environment, unpredictable increases in demand for goods and services may exacerbate the risk of not having sufficient numbers of trained personnel, which could have a negative impact on our operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Factors Relating to the Company's Investments

Our management may seek growth through acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our current areas of focus or geographic areas. This expansion of our business subjects us to associated risks, such as the diversion of management's attention and lack of experience in operating such businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may make acquisitions in lines of business that are not directly tied to or synergistic with our current portfolio companies. Accordingly, we may in the future acquire businesses in industries or geographic areas with which management is less familiar than we are with our current businesses.

The acquisition and integration of any business we may acquire involves a number of risks and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures in assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired business. Furthermore, acquisitions may:


•	involve our entry into geographic or business markets in which we have little or no prior experience;


•	involve difficulties in retaining the customers of the acquired business;


•	involve difficulties and expense associated with regulatory requirements, competition controls or investigations;


•	result in a delay or reduction of sales for both us and the business we acquire; and


•	disrupt our ongoing business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our current business.

To complete future acquisitions, we may determine that it is necessary to use a substantial amount of our cash or engage in equity or debt financing. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters that make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital in the future and to pursue other business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all, which could limit our ability to engage in acquisitions. Moreover, we can make no assurances that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, such as operating improvements or anticipated cost savings, would be realized or that we would not be exposed to unexpected liabilities in connection with any acquisition.

Further, an acquisition may negatively affect our operating results because it may require us to incur charges and substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation and amortization of deferred compensation charges, may require the amortization, write-down or impairment of amounts related to deferred compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets, may include substantial contingent consideration payments or other compensation that reduce our earnings during the quarter in which incurred, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset acquisition costs.

We may often pursue investment opportunities that involve business, regulatory, legal or other complexities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As an element of our investment style, we may pursue unusually complex investment opportunities. This could often take the form of substantial business, regulatory or legal complexity. Our tolerance for complexity may present risks, as such transactions can be more difficult, expensive and time-consuming to finance and execute; it may be more difficult to manage or realize value from the assets acquired in such transactions; and such transactions may sometimes entail a higher level of regulatory scrutiny or a greater risk of contingent liabilities. Any of these risks could harm our performance.

The loss of key personnel could impair our operating abilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success will substantially depend on our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team and officers. If we lose one or more of these key employees, our operating results and in turn the value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. Although we will have employment agreements with many of our officers, there can be no assurance that the entire term of the employment agreement will be served or that the employment agreement will be renewed upon expiration.

The due diligence process that we undertake in connection with new acquisitions may not reveal all facts that may be relevant in connection with an investment.

Before making acquisitions, we will conduct due diligence that we deem reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When conducting due diligence, we may be required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisers, accountants and investment banks may be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending on the type of investment. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence and making an assessment regarding an acquisition, we will rely on the resources

Table of Contents

available to us, including information provided by the target of the investment and, in some circumstances, third party investigations. The due diligence investigation that we will carry out with respect to any opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts (including fraud) that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such opportunity. Moreover, such an investigation will not necessarily result in the investment being successful.

Factors Relating to the Split-Off

We may incur material costs as a result of our separation from FNF, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will incur costs and expenses not previously incurred as a result of our separation from FNF. These increased costs and expenses may arise from various factors, including financial reporting or costs associated with complying with the federal securities laws (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, tax administration and human resources related functions.) Although FNF will continue to provide many of these services for us at no-cost (other than reimbursement of FNF's out-of-pocket costs and expenses) under the corporate services agreement for up to three years following the Split-Off. If the corporate services agreement is not mutually terminated by Cannae Holdings and FNF prior to the expiration of the initial three-year term, the corporate services agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms on mutually agreeable arm's length terms unless FNF and Cannae Holdings mutually agree to terminate the agreement. We cannot assure you that we will not incur third-party vendor costs or out-of-pocket expenses under the corporate services agreement that are material to our business. Moreover, we will have to develop internal departments/functions to perform the services at the end of the term of the corporate services agreement.

Our company has overlapping directors and officers with FNF, which may lead to conflicting interests.

Four of our executive officers, Brent B. Bickett, Richard L. Cox, Michael L. Gravelle and David Ducommun, are also employed by FNF or FNF's subsidiaries and two of our directors, William P. Foley, II and Richard N. Massey also serve on the boards of directors of FNF or its subsidiaries. Our executive officers and members of our board of directors have fiduciary duties to our stockholders. Likewise, any such persons who serve in similar capacities at FNF or any other public company have fiduciary duties to that company's stockholders. We also are party to a variety of related party agreements and relationships with FNF and certain of FNF's subsidiaries and FNF and subsidiaries of FNF have an ownership interest in Cannae Holdings. From time to time, we may enter into transactions with FNF and/or its respective subsidiaries or other affiliates. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to our company, FNF or any of our or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping officer or director.

Our agreements with FNF were negotiated while we were a subsidiary of FNF.

We have a number of inter-company agreements covering matters such as tax sharing and our responsibility for certain liabilities previously undertaken by FNF for certain of our businesses. In addition, we have entered into (i) a corporate services agreement with FNF, pursuant to which FNF provides to us certain "back office" services at no-cost (other than reimbursement of FNF's out-of-pocket costs and expenses), (ii) a voting agreement with FNF, pursuant to which FNF agrees to appear or cause all shares of Cannae Holdings common stock that FNF or its subsidiaries, as applicable, own after the Split-Off to be counted as present at any meeting of the stockholders of Cannae Holdings, for the purpose of establishing a quorum, and agrees to vote all of such Cannae Holdings shares (or cause them to be voted) in the same manner as, and in the same proportion to, all shares voted by holders of Cannae Holdings common stock (other than FNF and its subsidiaries), (iii) a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which FNF or its subsidiaries, as applicable, received registration rights with respect to the shares in Cannae held by FNF and (iv) a revolver note with FNF, pursuant to which Cannae Holdings may borrow revolving loans, the proceeds of which may be used for investment purposes and working capital needs, from FNF from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million. The terms of all of these agreements were established while we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF, and hence may not be the result of arm's length negotiations. We believe that the terms of these inter-company agreements are commercially reasonable and fair to all parties under the circumstances; however, conflicts could arise in the interpretation or any extension or renegotiation of the foregoing agreements after the Split-Off.

Factors Relating to the Company's Common Stock and the Securities Market

Our charter, bylaws and provisions of Delaware law may discourage or prevent strategic transactions, including a takeover of our company, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions contained in our charter and bylaws and provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law ("DGCL"), could delay or prevent a third party from entering into a strategic transaction with us, as applicable, even if such a transaction would benefit our stockholders. For example, our charter and bylaws:


•	authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be issued by us upon approval of our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares of capital stock, making a takeover more difficult and expensive;

Table of Contents


•	provide that directors may be removed from office only for cause and that any vacancy on our board of directors may only be filled by a majority of our directors then in office, which may make it difficult for other stockholders to reconstitute our board of directors;


•	provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of our board of directors or by our executive chairman, chief executive officer or president, as applicable;


•	require advance notice to be given by stockholders for any stockholder proposals or director nominees;


•	provide that directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders, which results in each director nominee elected by a plurality winning his or her seat upon receiving one "for" vote; and


•	provide that the board of directors is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of Cannae.

These restrictions and provisions could keep us from pursuing relationships with strategic partners and from raising additional capital, which could impede our ability to expand our business and strengthen our competitive position. These restrictions could also limit stockholder value by impeding a sale of our company.

Factors Relating to the Company's Investment in Dun & Bradstreet

Our investment in D&B may expose us to certain risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

On February 8, 2019, Cannae and an investment consortium (the “Consortium”) including CC Capital Partners LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners along with other investors completed the previously announced acquisition of The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Dun & Bradstreet" or "D&B")(the "DNB Acquisition"). Of our previously disclosed $900.0 million commitment to purchase common equity of the parent of Dun & Bradstreet, we retained and funded a $505.6 million investment, representing 24.5% of the outstanding common equity, and syndicated the remainder to other investors.

Refer to discussion under Recent Developments in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report for further information on the DNB Acquisition and related transactions.

D&B’s strategy is designed to drive long-term sustainable growth as one global company delivering content through modern channels to serve customer needs with their forward-leaning culture. The achievement of their strategic initiatives depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to their ability to maintain the integrity of their brand and reputation, customer demand for their products, the effect of macro-economic challenges on their customers and vendors, their reliance on third parties to provide data and certain operational services and their ability to protect their information technology. D&B may not be able to successfully implement their strategic initiatives in accordance with their expectations, or in the timeframe they desire, which may result in us not realizing our expected return on investment, or a negative return on investment.

D&B has undertaken a strategic and operational review of their business to help them find ways to accelerate value realization, including certain cost saving initiatives. Based on this review, D&B intends to undertake certain strategic and cost saving initiatives, which they believe will help them to achieve this goal. They cannot guarantee they will be able to successfully implement these strategic or cost saving initiatives. Furthermore, they may be unable to achieve, or may be delayed in achieving, some or all of the benefits from such initiatives. Additionally, even if they achieve these goals, they may not receive the expected benefits of the initiatives, or the costs of implementing these initiatives could exceed the related benefits. If they are unable to successfully implement these initiatives, if these initiatives are not as successful as planned or if they do not receive the expected benefits of these initiatives, they may not be able to meet their value realization expectations, which may result in us not realizing our expected return on investment, or a negative return on investment.

We expect our investment will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting, through which we will record our proportionate share of their net earnings or loss in our consolidated financial statements. Equity-method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. If our equity-method investment is not recoverable, we may be required to record an impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our company has overlapping directors with D&B, which may lead to conflicting interests.

Two of our directors, William P. Foley, II and Richard N. Massey also serve on the boards of directors of D&B or its parent and subsidiaries. From time to time, we may enter into transactions with D&B and/or its respective subsidiaries or other affiliates. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to our company, D&B or any of our or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping director.

Item 7.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and Selected Financial Data included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview

For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments, see the discussion under Business in Item 1 of Part I of this Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report.

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, representing 24.5% of the outstanding common equity, and syndicated the remainder to other investors. 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 helping 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. 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 to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report 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.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during any year are included in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition. In the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we made several acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. See Note B Acquisitions and Dispositions of our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for further discussion.

Business Trends and Conditions

Restaurant Group

The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions; public safety conditions or concerns; demographic trends; weather conditions; the cost of food products, labor, energy and other operating costs; and governmental regulations. Higher labor costs due to state and local minimum wage increases and shopping pattern shifts to e-commerce and “ready to eat” grocery and convenience stores have had a negative impact on restaurant performance, particularly in the casual and family dining restaurants in which the company operates.

Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.

Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.

Ceridian

As of December 31, 2018 , we own a 23.5% interest in Ceridian. Ceridian is a global company that offers a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage employment processes, such as payroll, payroll related tax filing, human resource information systems, employee self-service, time and labor management, and recruitment and applicant screening. As a result of Ceridian's acquisition of Dayforce Corporation in 2012, which built Dayforce, a cloud HCM solution, Ceridian generally stopped actively selling its bureau solutions to new customers in the United States to focus its resources on expanding the Dayforce platform and growing cloud solutions. Through the year ended December 31, 2018 , Ceridian’s cloud revenue is more than double its legacy bureau revenue and continues to grow.

Over the last several years, a number of factors have significantly affected Ceridian’s results of operations, including its capital restructuring resulting from the initial acquisition by Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("THL") and FNFV, LLC of all of the outstanding equity of the Ceridian entities that was completed on November 9, 2007 (such acquisition, the "2007 Merger"), and the related interest expense, the accounting and purchase price allocations from the 2007 Merger, the acquisition in 2012 of the Dayforce legal entities, and Ceridian’s corporate restructuring following the 2013 separation of Ceridian HCM and Comdata. Other factors that have affected Ceridian’s results of operations over the last several years include the levels of customer trust funds held, transaction volumes, price increases, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates (including interest earned on customer trust funds and interest expense on debt), customer employment levels, and its cost savings initiatives. Ceridian is subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Ceridian believes all of such factors may continue to significantly affect its results of operations.

T-System

The healthcare industry is impacted by several factors that can impact the business landscape in which T-System operates. In the past several years health care providers have shown a preference for single IT platforms across all venues. During this same time, there has been a push for interoperability across different healthcare IT systems due to the likelihood that a single patient will have medical information from multiple health care facilities or providers. Healthcare IT systems continue to face rising costs from factors such as legislative and regulatory reform, complex reimbursement models, and difficulties in electronic data exchange. These factors may continue to impact the results of T-System’s operations.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See Note A to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for discussion our significant accounting policies.

The accounting policies and estimates described below are those we consider critical in preparing our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts

Table of Contents

of assets and liabilities and disclosures with respect to 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. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and assumed in a business combination. 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.

We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on at least an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) annually in the fourth quarter (October 1) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

We use a combination of discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches to determine the fair value of each of our reporting units. Our discounted cash flow projections include assumptions for growth rates for revenues, costs and earnings, which are based on various long-range financial and operational plans of each reporting unit. Additionally, discount rates used in our goodwill analysis are based on weighted-average cost of capital, driven by comparable public companies, the prevailing interest rates, credit ratings, financing abilities and opportunities of each reporting unit, among other factors. Our market-based valuations utilize earnings multiples of comparable public companies, which are reflective of the market in which each respective reporting unit operates, and recent comparable market transactions. Changes in the factors used in our fair value estimates, including declines in industry or company-specific sales, margin erosion, discount rates used, and market multiples could have a significant impact on the fair values of the reporting units.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 , we recorded $26.7 million of impairment to goodwill in our ABRH reporting unit within 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.

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.

With the completion of the T-System acquisition in October 2017, we established new T-System reporting units. Because these reporting units consist solely of the acquired businesses, the book value of which equaled its fair value as of the acquisition date, no cushion of fair value over book value existed at the acquisition date. During our 2018 goodwill impairment testing of the reporting unit, we determined that T-System's two reporting units' cushion of fair value over book value was nominal. Given that the fair value is not substantially in excess of the book value, relatively small decreases in future cash flows from forecasted results or changes in discount rates or other assumptions could result in impairment of goodwill.

Valuation of 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.

Our primary indefinite-lived other intangible assets are the tradenames of our Restaurant Group brands. Tradenames are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter (October 1) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a tradename below its carrying value. We use a relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of our tradenames which includes assumptions for growth rates for revenues, tax rates, discount rates

Table of Contents

and royalty rates. Changes in the factors used in our fair value estimates, including declines in industry or company-specific sales, discount rates used, and royalty rates could have a significant impact on the fair values of our tradenames.

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.

Accounting for 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.

Refer to Note L to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for further discussion of our accounting for income taxes.

Revenue Recognition.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 by applying the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on the timing or amount of recognition of revenue for our primary sources of revenue. Differences between our historical revenue recognition and revenue which would have been recorded had we restated prior periods in conformity with ASC Topic 606 are not considered material.We recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity as of January 1, 2018 of $1.9 million as a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 606. As a result of errors identified in our adjustment for the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 as of the date of adoption (January 1, 2018), as further discussed in Note A Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, the cumulative effect adjustment decreased by $2.4 million from the $4.3 million (net of tax), as reported, to $1.9 million (net of tax), as corrected.

Our revenue consists of:



		Year ended December 31,

Revenue Stream	Segment	Total Revenue
Restaurant revenue:		(in millions)
Restaurant sales	Restaurant Group	$	1,023.0
Bakery sales	Restaurant Group	88.8

Real estate and resort	Corporate and other	23.2
Other	Corporate and other	6.5
Total other operating revenue		87.6
Total operating revenues		1,205.4

Restaurant revenue consists of restaurant sales, bakery operations, and, to a lesser extent, franchise revenue and other revenue. Restaurant sales include food and beverage sales and gift card breakage, are net of applicable state and local sales taxes and discounts, and are recognized at a point in time as services are performed and goods are provided. Revenue from bakery operations is recognized at a point in time in the period during which the products are shipped and control transfers to the customer. Franchise revenue and other revenue consist of development fees and royalties on sales by franchised units. Initial franchise fees are recognized as income upon commencement of the franchise operation and completion of all material services and conditions by the Company. Royalties are calculated as a percentage of the franchisee sales and recognized in the period in which the sales are generated. Revenue resulting from the sale of gift cards is recognized in the period in which the gift card is redeemed and is recorded as deferred revenue until recognized.

T-System offers a software as a service solution with full-service coding ("RevCycle+") available, through contracts with customers to either provide access to its proprietary coding software platform or provide medical chart coding services. Billing for both services occurs monthly as services are provided. Billing for medical chart coding services is based on a fixed monthly fee. Revenue for RevCycle+ is recognized ratably over the term of the contract as services are consumed by the customer. Revenue for implementation and upfront training services provided to the customer, if any, are billed separately and recognized at a point in time upon completion of such services as T-System's performance obligation is considered complete.

T-System sells an electronic version of the medical documentation system (“EV”), provided in the form of a non-exclusive license to use the software at the sites under the agreement. The Company sells software licenses through recurring fixed-term or subscription fee arrangements and one-time perpetual license arrangements. Software contracts include performance obligations that are both satisfied at a point in time and over a period of time as goods and services are transferred. T-System also sells legacy medical documentation templates ("T-Sheets") to emergency care providers to be used for documentation of patient care. T-Sheets includes various optional recurring fixed-term or subscription licenses which are recognized over time after access to the template has been delivered to the customer.

Other operating revenue consists of income generated by our resort operations which includes sales of real estate, lodging rentals, food and beverage sales, and other income from various resort services offered. Revenue is recognized upon closing of the sale of real estate or once goods and services have been provided and billed to the customer.

Certain Factors Affecting Comparability

Year ended December 31, 2017. On October 16, 2017, we completed the T-System Merger. The results of operation of T-System subsequent to the T-System Merger are included in the T-System segment.

On June 6, 2017, we closed on the sale of OneDigital for $560.0 million in an all-cash transaction. As a result of the sale of OneDigital, we have reclassified the financial results of OneDigital to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.

Revenues

Total revenue in 2018 increased $35.9 million compared to 2017 , primarily due to an increase in revenue in our T-System and Corporate and Other segments, offset by a decline in revenue in the Restaurant Group segment. Total revenue in 2017 decreased $8.9 million compared to 2016 , primarily due to a decrease in revenue in our Restaurant Group, partially offset by an increase in revenue in our Corporate and Other segment.

The change in revenues from our segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

Expenses

Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, cost of restaurant revenue, other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.

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 that are directly attributable to the operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue.

Cost of restaurant revenue includes cost of food and beverage, primarily the costs of beef, groceries, produce, seafood, poultry and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, net of vendor discounts and rebates, payroll and related costs and expenses directly relating to restaurant level activities, and restaurant operating costs including occupancy and other operating expenses at the restaurant level.

Table of Contents

Other operating expenses include professional fees, advertising costs, travel expenses and impairments of operating assets.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation related to investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of intangible assets.

The change in expenses from our segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

Income tax expense (benefit) on continuing operations was $13.1 million , $(16.6) million , and $(10.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 was 70.4% , 22.0% , and (204.3)% , respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2018 from 2017 is primarily attributable to the change in tax laws disallowing the tax deductibility of certain executive compensation. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2017 from 2016 is primarily attributable to increased net earnings and decreased losses from unconsolidated affiliates in 2017 from 2016 . The fluctuation in income tax benefit as a percentage of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes is attributable to our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings year to year, such as the weighting of operating income versus investment income.

For a detailed breakout of our effective tax rate, see Note L to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report.

Other

Net realized gains totaled $166.8 million , $4.9 million , and $9.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. The net realized gain for the year ended December 31, 2018 is primarily attributable to $92.6 million gain on the sale of Ceridian shares in the fourth quarter of 2018, $63.2 million of realized gains associated with the Ceridian IPO and the gain of $24.0 million on the sale of LifeWorks, partially offset by impairment losses of $12.5 million recognized on fixed maturity securities in the 2018 period and $5.1 million of realized gains associated with sales of equity investment securities in the 2017 period. The net realized gain for the year ended December 31, 2017 is primarily attributable to the sale of equity securities available for sale. The net realized gain for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily includes a net realized gain of $15.0 million on the sale of our 15% ownership interest in Stillwater Insurance ("Stillwater"), a property and casualty insurance company sold during the second quarter of 2016 for proceeds of $36.0 million. The gain was partially offset by net realized losses of $2.5 million on the sale of the Max & Erma's restaurant concept by our Restaurant Group, and net realized losses of $3.0 million on impairment of a cost method investment in our Corporate and Other segment.

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $(16.1) million , $3.4 million , and $(29.5) million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively, and consisted of our equity in the net loss of Ceridian and other investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The increase in equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliates is primarily attributable to increased losses at Ceridian for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017 .

Net Earnings

Net earnings attributable to Cannae decreased $81.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 , compared to the 2017 period. The decrease consisted of a $34.7 million decrease in earnings in our Corporate and Other segment and $7.7 million decrease in net earnings from T-System, acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017, in addition to a $38.8 million increased loss at our Restaurant Group. Total net earnings attributable to Cannae increased $121.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 , compared to the 2016 period. The increase consisted of a $140.1 million increase in earnings in our Corporate and Other segment and $1.5 million in net earnings from T-System, acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017, partially offset by a $20.4 million increased loss at our Restaurant Group.

The change in net earnings from the segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $11.2 million , or 1.0% in the year ended December 31, 2018 from the 2017 period. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in restaurant sales, primarily driven by closed restaurants, decreased comparable store sales and guest counts overall, partially offset by increases in bakery sales. Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $28.6 million , or 2.5% in the year ended December 31, 2017 from the 2016 period primarily due to a $17.3 million, or 1.6%, decrease in consolidated comparable store sales, a decrease of $8.4 million related to the inclusion of revenue from the Max & Erma's restaurant concept in the 2016 period, a $5.2 million decrease from the net effect of new and closed restaurants, and a $4.5 million decrease related to timing of store days, partially offset by a $7.1 million increase in third-party bakery operation sales.

Comparable Store Sales. One method we use in evaluating the performance of our restaurants is to compare sales results for restaurants period over period. We include a restaurant in our comparable store sales figures starting in the first period following a new restaurant's first seventy-eight weeks of operations. Changes in comparable store sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable store group of restaurants over a specified period of time. This measure highlights the performance of existing restaurants, as the impact of new restaurant openings is excluded. Comparable store sales for our Restaurant Group decreased 0.6% and 1.6 % in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, from the prior fiscal years. The decrease in both periods is primarily attributable to decreased comparable store sales at our O'Charley's, Village Inn and Baker's Square concepts, partially offset by increased comparable store sales at our 99 Restaurants concept.

Other operating expenses increased by $15.2 million or 21.4% in the year ended December 31, 2018 from the 2017 period. The increase is primarily attributable to impairments of other intangible assets in the 2018 period.

Cost of restaurant revenue increased $0.3 million , or less than 1%, in the year ended December 31, 2018 from the 2017 period. Cost of restaurant revenue increased $6.9 million or 0.7% in the year ended December 31, 2017 from the 2016 period. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue were approximately 88.7% , 87.8% , and 85.0% in the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The increase in cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue in the 2018 period from the comparable 2017 period was primarily attributable to increased cost of food and labor. The increase in cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue in the 2017 period from the comparable 2016 period was primarily driven by reduced operating leverage associated with lower same store sales, increased hourly labor costs, and an increase in value promotions offered in the 2017 period.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 , we recorded $26.7 million of impairment to goodwill in our ABRH reporting unit in our Restaurant Group segment. The impairment charge was a result of deteriorating operating results and cash flow resulting from

Table of Contents

declining same store sales and increased costs. The impairment recorded was calculated as the deficit between the carrying value of ABRH compared to its fair value determined by performing a combination of discounted cash flow and market approaches.

Loss from continuing operations before income taxes increased $60.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 from the 2017 period. The increase in loss was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above. (Loss) earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased $36.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 from the 2016 period.

Ceridian

We own a 23.5% economic interest in Ceridian. We account for our investment in Ceridian under the equity method of accounting; therefore, its results of operations do not consolidate into ours. Details relating to the results of operations of Ceridian (NYSE: "CDAY") can be found in its periodic filings with the SEC. The audited financial statements of Ceridian can also be found at Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report.

T-System

We acquired T-System on October 16, 2017. The following table presents the results from operations of our T-System segment :



	Year ended December 31,

The increases in our revenues, expenses and operating loss for our T-System segment are attributable to the recording of a full year of results of operation for the segment in the 2018 period.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment consists of certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses, and other smaller investments.

The Corporate and Other segment generated revenues of $29.7 million , $27.6 million , and $20.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. Revenues increased $2.1 million in 2018 compared to 2017 primarily driven by a $5.6 million termination fee associated with the termination of our management agreement with Ceridian, partially offset by a decrease in real estate sales. Revenues increased $6.8 million in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to growth in sales of real estate.

Personnel costs were $89.9 million , $42.8 million , and $15.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. The increase in 2018 from 2017 is primarily attributable to investment success bonuses associated with the Ceridian IPO and sale of LifeWorks. The increase in 2017 from 2016 is primarily attributable to Investment Success Incentive Program bonuses associated with the sale of OneDigital.

Other operating expenses for the Corporate and Other segment were $5.5 million , $30.2 million , and $13.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The decrease in the 2018 period from the 2017 period is primarily attributable to lower corporate overhead costs and decreased expense in our real estate operations. The increase in the 2017 period from the 2016 period is primarily attributable to increased cost at our real estate subsidiaries and costs associated with our separation from FNF.

Table of Contents

This segment generated earnings (losses) from continuing operations before income taxes of $123.7 million , $(38.2) million , and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. The increase in earnings in 2018 compared to 2017 is attributable to the aforementioned changes in revenues and expenses as well as a $92.6 million gain on sale of Ceridian shares in the fourth quarter of 2018, $63.2 million of realized gains associated with the Ceridian IPO and the gain of $24.0 million on the sale of LifeWorks, partially offset by impairment losses of $12.5 million recognized on fixed maturity securities in the 2018 period and $5.1 million of realized gains associated with sales of equity investment securities in the 2017 period. The decrease in earnings in 2017 compared to 2016 is attributable to the aforementioned changes in revenue and expenses.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the sale of OneDigital, the financial results of OneDigital have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 . Earnings from discontinued operations were $147.7 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The increase in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to the after-tax gain of $149.7 million on the sale of OneDigital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, and stock repurchases. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to stockholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as a result of provisions in certain debt agreements. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Additional uses of cash flow are expected to include stock repurchases, acquisitions, and debt repayments.

We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets, and borrowings on existing credit facilities. 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.

We are focused on evaluating our assets and investments as potential vehicles for creating liquidity. Our intent is to use that liquidity for general corporate purposes, including, potentially reducing debt, repurchasing shares of our stock, other strategic initiatives and/or conserving cash.

Operating Cash Flows . Our cash flows (used in) provided by operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 were $(22.9) million , $(90.7) million and $60.3 million , respectively. The decrease in cash used in operations of $67.8 million from 2018 to 2017 is primarily attributable to decreased taxes paid of $117.5 million in the 2018 period from the comparable period in 2017, partially offset by cash provided by discontinued operations of $17.3 million in the 2017 period, increased cash bonus expenses of $26.4 million in the 2018 period, and decreased consolidated pretax loss (increased earnings) in the 2018 period. The remainder of the variance is attributable to the timing of payment and receipt of accounts payable and receivable. The decrease in cash provided by operations of $151.0 million from 2017 to 2016 is primarily attributable to increased payments for income taxes in the 2017 period which primarily related to the sale of OneDigital. The proceeds from the sale of OneDigital were recorded as an investing cash flow.

Investing Cash Flows. Our cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 were $186.7 million , $91.7 million and $(168.2) million , respectively. The increase in cash provided by investing activities of $95.0 million from 2018 to 2017 is primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of Ceridian shares and LifeWorks in 2018, and decreased outflow for acquisitions in 2018 compared to 2017, partially offset by net purchases of short term investments in 2018 and the sale of One Digital in 2017. The increase in cash provided by (decrease in cash used in) investing activities of $259.9 million from 2017 to 2016 is primarily attributable to proceeds of $326.0 million from the sale of OneDigital, decreased investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $67.2 million, and lower spending on other investments in the 2017 period, partially offset by increased cash used for acquisitions of businesses, primarily T-System, in the 2017 period.

Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and other intangible assets were $15.9 million , $40.1 million and $55.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. Capital expenditures in the 2018 period primarily consist of purchases of property and equipment in our Restaurant Group segment and to a lesser extent property improvements at our real estate operations. The decrease in expenditures in the 2018 period from the 2017 period is reflective of a decrease in spending in our Restaurant Group segment and decreased spending at OneDigital due to its sale in June 2017. Capital expenditures in the 2017 period primarily consist of purchases of property, equipment and software in our Restaurant Group segment. The decrease in expenditures in the 2017 period from the 2016 period is primarily attributable to the sale of OneDigital.

Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 were $(86.4) million , $98.2 million and $(20.8) million , respectively. The decrease in cash provided by (increase in cash used in) financing activities of $184.6 million from 2018 to 2017 is primarily attributable to the payoff of ABRH's external debt and decreased borrowings in the 2018 period. The increase in cash provided by (decrease in cash used in) financing activities of $119.0 million from 2017 to 2016 is primarily attributable to the $100 million FNF Investment and an increase in net borrowings (net of debt service payments).

Financing Arrangements. In our Restaurant Group, financing arrangements are used both as part of our overall capitalization structure as well as to fund purchases of seasonal inventory in advance of sales. For a description of our historical financing arrangements see Note K to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report. On February 7, 2019, we borrowed $150 million under our Margin Facility and drew the entire $100 million available under our FNF Revolver and used the proceeds to fund, in part, the DNB Acquisition.

Contractual Obligations. Unconditional purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, are legally binding and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Restaurant Group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors, primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. Future purchase obligations are estimated by assuming historical purchase activity over the remaining, non-cancellable terms of the various agreements. For agreements with minimum purchase obligations, at least the minimum amounts we are legally required to purchase are included. These agreements do not include fixed delivery terms. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of December 31, 2018 to determine the amount of the obligations.

As of December 31, 2018 , our required annual payments relating to these contractual obligations were as follows:



	2019		2020		2021		2022		2023		Thereafter		Total

Notes payable	$	5.9	$	6.6	$	5.8	$	5.8	$	16.1	$	9.1	$	49.3
Operating lease payments	62.0		57.7		51.3		40.7		34.1		133.2		379.0
Unconditional purchase obligations	194.4		80.9		46.7		8.9		3.4		7.3		341.6
Total	$	262.3	$	145.2	$	103.8	$	55.4	$	53.6	$	149.6	$	769.9

Capital Stock Transactions. 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 excess value of our investment in Ceridian HCM over 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.

On November 17, 2017, FNF completed the previously announced Split-Off of its FNFV Group and redeemed each outstanding share of its FNFV Group common stock, par value $0.0001, for one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Cannae (NYSE: CNNE), with cash in lieu of fractional shares. As of November 17, 2017, FNF and Cannae are separate publicly traded companies.

On November 16, 2017, certain subsidiaries of FNF contributed an aggregate of $100.0 million to us in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock.

Equity Security Investments. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold the remainder of our equity securities holdings for gross proceeds of $17.7 million resulting in net realized gains of $0.1 million .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We do not engage in off-balance sheet activities other than facility and equipment operating leasing arrangements.

Item 7A.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market price fluctuations in beef, seafood, produce and other food product prices. Given the historical volatility of beef, seafood, produce and other food product prices, these fluctuations can materially impact the food and beverage costs incurred in our Restaurant Group segment. While our Restaurant Group companies have taken steps to qualify multiple suppliers who meet our standards as suppliers for our restaurants and have entered into agreements with suppliers for some of the commodities used in our restaurant operations, there can be no assurance that future supplies and costs for such commodities will not fluctuate due to weather and other market conditions outside of our control. Consequently, such commodities can be subject to unforeseen supply and cost fluctuations. Dairy costs can also fluctuate due to government regulation. Because we typically set our menu prices in advance of our food product prices, our menu prices cannot immediately take into account changing costs of food items. To the extent that we are unable to pass the increased costs on to our guests through price increases, our results of operations would be adversely affected. We do not use financial instruments to hedge our risk to market price fluctuations in beef, seafood, produce and other food product prices at this time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors

Cannae Holdings, Inc.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated and combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, of the Company and our report dated March 18, 2019 , expressed an unqualified opinion and included an explanatory paragraph related to a change in accounting principle for revenue due to the adoption of FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective method.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment:

Material weaknesses exist related to the Company’s control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities around the Company’s adoption and subsequent application of ASC 606 at the Company’s T System subsidiary and are attributable to the failure of management to (1) design and implement control activities over the accuracy and completeness of the underlying information used to derive the revenue related accounting entries for the adoption and application of ASC 606 at T System; (2) design and implement control activities, including the related supporting documentation, around the determination of the ongoing revenue accounting at T System; and (3) monitor related revenue control activities at T System in order to prevent or detect material misstatements.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated and combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors

Cannae Holdings, Inc.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated and combined balance sheets of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the related consolidated and combined statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 , and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of Ceridian HCM Holdings, Inc., the Company's investment in which is accounted for by use of the equity method. The accompanying financial statements of the Company include its equity investment in Ceridian HCM Holdings, Inc. of $359.7 million and $324.9 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and its equity in (losses) earnings in Ceridian HCM Holdings, Inc. of ($20.5) million, $1.9 million and ($29.1) million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Ceridian HCM Holdings, Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 18, 2019 , expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of material weaknesses identified.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Notes A and S to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for revenue due to the adoption of FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective method.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A.	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

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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

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.”

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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.

Restaurant Group

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.

Other Developments

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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.

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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.

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.

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

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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.

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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	)

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 outstanding and basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016 was calculated using the number of shares distributed as if those shares were issued and outstanding beginning January 1, 2016.

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 shares of restricted stock 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.

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. For the year ended December 31, 2018, no antidilutive shares were outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2017, 0.1 million shares of restricted stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were antidilutive.

Correction of Prior Interim Periods of the Current Year

In connection with the preparation of our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we identified and corrected errors pertaining to (1) our adjustment for the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 as of the date of adoption (January 1, 2018), (2) adjustments to the opening balance sheet of T-System in order to add a contract asset for its unbilled accounts receivable and to remove a portion of deferred revenue for which T-System had no further performance obligations, and (3) our accounting for certain revenue transactions in our T-System segment for each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018. As a result of errors identified in our adjustment for the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 as of the date of adoption (January 1, 2018) the cumulative effect adjustment decreased by $2.4 million from the $4.3 million (net of tax), as reported, to $1.9 million (net of tax), as corrected.

In accordance with accounting guidance found in ASC Topic 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ( SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1M ), we assessed the materiality of the errors from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and concluded that the errors were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any of our previously issued financial statements on Form 10-Q. Consequently, we will correct these errors prospectively in our quarterly filings on Form 10-Q.

T-System

On October 16, 2017, we completed the T-System Merger for aggregate merger consideration of $202.2 million . T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities.

The Company paid total consideration, net of cash received, of $200.9 million in exchange for 100% of the equity ownership of T-System. The total consideration paid was as follows (in millions):



Cash paid	$	202.2
Less: Cash acquired	1.3
Total cash consideration paid	$	200.9

The purchase price has been allocated to T-System's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. Our accounting for the T-System Merger was completed in the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The primary measurement period adjustments were (1) a $8.9 million decrease to Deferred revenue and a $5.7 million decrease to Goodwill (net of Deferred tax assets of $3.2 million ) to remove the portion of the revenue for which the Company had no further performance obligations as of the acquisition date and (2) a $14.5 million decrease in Other intangible assets and corresponding $8.2 million increase in Other noncurrent assets and $6.3 million increase in Trade receivables for unbilled accounts receivable under ASC Topic 606. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. $32.8 million of the goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Dispositions

On June 6, 2017, we closed on the sale of Digital Insurance, Inc. ("OneDigital") for $560.0 million in an all-cash transaction. After repayment of debt, payout to option holders and a minority equity investor and other transaction-related payments, the Company received $331.4 million from the sale, which includes $326.0 million in cash and $5.4 million in purchase price holdback receivable. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $276.0 million on the sale and $126.3 million in income tax expense which are included in Net earnings from discontinued operations on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. We received $4.5 million of the purchase price holdback and wrote-off the remainder in the year ended December 31, 2018.

On January 25, 2016, we completed the sale of our Max & Erma's restaurant concept for $6.5 million pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA"). In the year ended December 31, 2016 we recorded $3.0 million in total expense, inclusive of a $2.5 million loss on the sale and $0.5 million in impairment charges related to the sale which are included in realized gains and (losses), net and other operating expense, respectively, on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations for the year then ended.


Note C.	Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively:

Total assets	$	17.7	$	14.8	$	—	$	32.5

Our Level 3 fair value measurement for our fixed maturity securities available for sale are provided by a single third-party pricing service. Depending on security specific characteristics, either an income or a contingent claims approach was utilized in determining fair value of our Level 3 fixed-maturity securities available for sale. Discount rates are the primary unobservable inputs utilized for the securities valued using an income approach. The discount rates used are based on company-specific risk premiums, public company comparable securities, and leveraged loan indices. The discount rates used in our determination of the fair value of our Level 3 fixed-maturity securities available for sale varies by security type and ranged from 17.0% to 17.5% and had a weighted average of 17.5% as of December 31, 2018. Based on the total fair value of our Level 3 fixed-maturity securities available for sale as of December 31, 2018, changes in the discount rate utilized will not result in a fair value significantly different than the amount recorded.

The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair values of Level 3 assets, measured on a recurring basis, for the year ended December 31 , 2018 .

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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 year ended December 31, 2018, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were based on changes in significance of unobservable inputs used associated with a change in the service provider and in the valuation technique used to value our corporate debt securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

As of December 31, 2017, we held no material assets or liabilities of continuing operations measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

All of the unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other financial instruments, net (excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2018 relate to fixed maturity securities considered Level 3 fair value measures.

Our recurring Level 2 fair value measure for our fixed-maturity securities available for sale are provided by a third-party provider. We rely on one price for the instruments to determine the carrying amount of the assets on our balance sheet. Quarterly, a comparable public company is utilized to determine the fair value. The inputs utilized in the analysis include observable measures such as reference data including public company operating results and share prices and market research publications. Other factors considered include the bond's yield, its terms and conditions, and any other feature which may influence its risk and thus marketability, as well as relative credit information and relevant sector news. We review the pricing methodologies for 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.

Additional information regarding the fair value of our investment portfolio is included in Note D.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables and notes receivable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of our notes payable is included in Note K.

The impairment recorded relates to a corporate debt holding which has experienced a prolonged period of declining earnings and which we are uncertain of our ability to recover our initial investment. All of the loss represents credit loss recognized in earnings and no portion of the loss was included in other comprehensive earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2017 , we incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges relating investments in fixed-income or equity securities.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , we sold equity securities for gross proceeds of $17.7 million and $31.6 million , respectively, resulting in net realized gains of less than $0.1 million and $5.1 million , respectively. We sold no securities in the year ended December 31, 2016.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 we incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to available for sale investments.

We recorded no realized gains or losses on investment securities in the year ended December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2018 , we held $2.3 million of corporate debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may lead us to recognize potential future impairment losses related to our investment portfolio and that unanticipated future events may lead us to dispose of certain investment holdings and recognize the effects of any market movements in our results of operations.

Note G.	Variable Interest Entities

The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are legal entities in which the equity investors as a group lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , we are not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.

In addition to the book value of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, the maximum exposure to loss also includes $1.7 million as of December 31, 2017 for a note receivable from an investee. We do not provide any implicit or explicit liquidity guarantees or principal value guarantees to these VIEs.

The 99 Restaurants Credit Facility is subject to affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the Borrower’s creation of liens, sales of assets, incurrence of indebtedness, restricted payments and transactions with affiliates. The 99 Restaurants Credit Facility includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable). The 99 Restaurants Credit Facility provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent, may (i) declare the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owed in respect of, the loans immediately due and payable, (ii) terminate loan commitments and (iii) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Fifth Third Bank or the lenders under the loan documents. Proceeds of $36.2 million for the 99 Term Loan were received at closing and primarily used to repay the remaining balance outstanding under the Intercompany Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2018, interest on the 99 Term Loan is payable every other month at a rate of 8.00% and we have $25.0 million available to borrow under the 99 Revolver and DLOC Loan.

On November 7, 2018, Cannae Funding, LLC (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), and certain other related agreements, with Credit Suisse AG (in such capacity, "Administrative Agent") and other lenders thereto. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Borrower 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. Interest on term loans under the Margin Facility is payable in-kind or cash at the Borrower's election. The Margin Facility is collateralized by 25.0 million shares of Ceridian held by the Company which will be contributed to the Borrower prior to any draws under the Margin Facility. The Margin Facility is subject to maintenance and margin LTV ratios pursuant to which the Borrower will be required to maintain a certain loan to value ratio (based on the value of Ceridian common stock held by Borrower). In the event that this ratio is not maintained, the Borrower must post additional cash collateral under the Loan Agreement and/or elect to repay a portion of the term loans thereunder. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, event-of-default, and margin maintenance provisions for financings of this nature which, subject to certain terms and conditions, can result in the acceleration of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, all outstanding term loans under the Margin Facility upon occurrence. As of December 31, 2018, there are no borrowings outstanding under the Margin Facility and $300 million available to borrow. On February 7, 2019, we borrowed $150 million under the Margin Facility and used the proceeds to fund, in part, the DNB Acquisition.

Concurrently with the Loan Agreement, Cannae entered into a Guaranty (the "Guaranty Agreement") in favor of the Administrative Agent and other lenders thereto pursuant to which Cannae absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all of the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement for a period of up to one year after the conditions to the effectiveness of the Loan Agreement have been met. During the period in which the Guaranty Agreement is enforceable, Cannae will be liable for all obligations payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and other agreements entered into in connection therewith.

On January 29, 2016, FNF NV Brasada, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company and majority-owned subsidiary of Cannae ("NV Brasada"), entered into a credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $17.0 million (the "Interstate Credit Agreement") originally with Bank of the Cascades, as lender. The Interstate Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $12.5 million acquisition loan (the "Acquisition Loan"), (ii) a $3.0 million development loan (the "Development Loan"), and (iii) a $1.5 million line of credit loan (the "Line of Credit Loan", and collectively with the Acquisition Loan and the Development Loan, the "Interstate Loans"). On June 13, 2018, the Interstate Credit agreement was modified to add an additional line of credit of $3.6 million and to assign the loan from the Bank of the Cascades to First Interstate Bank. Pursuant to the Acquisition Loan, NV Brasada executed a $6.25 million "A Note", which accrues interest at a rate of 4.51% per annum and matures on the tenth anniversary of the issuance thereof, and a $6.25 million "B Note", which accrues interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points, adjusted monthly, and matures on the tenth anniversary of the issuance thereof. NV Brasada makes equal monthly payments of principal and interest under the Acquisition Loan. Each of the Development Loan and the Line of Credit Loan accrue interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points, adjusted monthly, and mature on the second anniversary of the respective issuances thereof. NV Brasada makes equal monthly payments of interest under the Development Loan and the Line of Credit Loan. The Interstate Loans are secured by certain single-family residential lots that can be sold for construction, owned by NV Brasada, and certain other operating assets owned by NV Brasada. The Company does not provide any guaranty or stock pledge under the Interstate Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2018 , there was $11.7 million , net of debt issuance costs, outstanding under the Interstate Credit Agreement; the variable rate notes incurred interest at 4.55% and there was $4.4 million available to be drawn on the Line of Credit Loan.

On November 17, 2017, FNF issued to Cannae a revolver note in aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the "FNF Revolver"). Pursuant to the FNF Revolver, FNF may make one or more loans to us in increments of $1.0 million , with up to $100.0 million outstanding at any time. The FNF Revolver accrues interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and matures on the five -year anniversary of the date of the FNF Revolver. 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. As of December 31, 2018 , we have not made any borrowings under the FNF Revolver. On February 7, 2019, we drew the entire $100 million available and used the proceeds to fund, in part, the DNB Acquisition.

On August 19, 2014, ABRH entered into a credit agreement (the “ABRH Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender, Bank of America, N.A. as syndication agent and the other financial institutions party thereto.

The Company’s effective tax rate at December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 is 70.4% , 22.0% and (204.3)% , respectively. The increase in 2018 from 2017 primarily relates to executive compensation which increased from the prior year as a result of the Tax Reform Act. The increase was partially offset by a dividends received deduction. Additionally, the impact of the non-controlling interests, permanent items, and tax credits on pretax income had a greater impact in 2018 compared to 2017 on pretax losses. The increase from 2016 to 2017 primarily relates to earnings from the Company’s equity investments and the impact of permanent items and tax credits on 2016 pretax earnings compared to pretax losses.

Total deferred tax liability	$	(13.9	)	$	(21.8	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	16.9		$	10.6

The Company's net deferred tax asset was $16.9 million and $10.6 million at December 31, 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. The primary changes to the deferred taxes relate to changes in equity investments, partnership interests, and the utilization of net operating losses ("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards.

The decrease of $5.7 million in the Company’s deferred tax assets on equity investments was primarily related to various basis adjustments and current year pick up of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. The $15.5 million change in the deferred tax asset related to partnerships was primarily related to book losses within the restaurant group, which includes an impairment of goodwill. The $5.9 million decrease in the Company’s deferred tax liability for intangible assets was related to current year amortization and a reclassification between intangible assets and unbilled accounts receivable as part of the Company’s opening equity adjustment related to its adoption of ASC Topic 606.

The Company’s federal and state NOL carryforwards were $18.7 million and $36.2 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company had no tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2018 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2017. The NOLs expire in various tax years through 2038. A portion of the NOL carryforwards are subject to a Section 382 limitation; however based on the section 382 limitation amount, all of the NOL carryovers are expected to be fully utilized before they expire.

ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all of the available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Management evaluated the Company’s deferred tax assets for recoverability using a consistent approach which considers the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, in particular, the Company’s historical profitability and any projections of future taxable income or potential future tax planning strategies.

The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

The Company's federal and state income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 remain subject to examination.

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), provided guidance for companies that had not completed their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Reform in the period of enactment, allowing for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Act, and recorded an immaterial adjustment related to the revised December 31, 2017 ending deferred tax balances which changed as a result of the temporary provision to return adjustments.


Note M.	Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.

Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under “dram shop” laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.

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 is recorded. As of December 31, 2018 , we had $0.5 million accrued for legal proceedings. As of December 31, 2017 , we had $0.2 million accrued for legal proceedings. 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 in the event of an unfavorable outcome, 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, results of operations or cash flows.

O’Charley’s is the defendant in a lawsuit, Otis v. O’Charley’s, LLC, filed on July 13, 2016, in U.S. District Court, Central District of Illinois. The lawsuit purports to bring a national class action on behalf of all O’Charley’s servers and bartenders under the Fair Labor Standards Act and similar state laws. The complaint alleges that O'Charley's failed to pay plaintiffs the applicable minimum wage and overtime by requiring tipped employees to: (a) spend more than twenty percent of their time performing non-tipped duties, including dishwashing, food preparation, cleaning, maintenance, and other "back of the house" duties; and (b) perform “off the clock” work. Plaintiffs seek damages and declaratory relief. The named plaintiffs and members of the putative class are parties to employment agreements with O’Charley’s that provide, inter alia, for individual arbitration of potential claims and disputes. On October 25, 2016, the District Court entered an Order staying all proceedings in the Otis case pending the United States Supreme Court’s resolution of certain petitions for certiorari filed in several Circuit Courts of Appeals cases that address the issue of whether agreements between employers and employees to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act. The Order provides that, if certiorari is granted in any of the Circuit Courts of Appeals cases, the stay of the Otis case will continue until the Supreme Court reaches a final decision on the merits in the cases. On January 13, 2017, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in three of the Circuit Courts of Appeals cases that address the enforceability of arbitration agreements. On May 21, 2018, the Supreme Court ruled on the issue, holding that class-action waivers in employment arbitration agreements are enforceable. The parties reached a settlement on January 2, 2019, whereby the plaintiffs agreed to a full and complete settlement and release of all claims that were asserted or that could have been asserted in the litigation. The

settlement is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The settlement was approved and the case was dismissed with prejudice by court order on February 15, 2019.

Operating Leases

We have operating leases for certain of our premises and equipment, primarily for real estate and equipment in our Restaurant Group segment.

Original terms of our operating lease agreements primarily range from one to thirty years. Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with varying renewal terms that can extend the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion.



Future minimum operating lease payments are as follows (in millions):

Thereafter	133.2
Total future minimum operating lease payments	$	379.0

Rent expense incurred under operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was $61.5 million , $61.9 million , and $64.5 million , respectively. Rent expense in the year ended December 31, 2016 also included abandoned lease charges related to office closures of $6.9 million related to the termination of leases associated with the sale of the Max and Erma's restaurant concept. No abandoned lease charges were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

We have certain unconditional purchase obligations, primarily in our Restaurant Group segment. These purchase obligations are with various vendors and primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of December 31, 2018 to determine the amount of the obligations. Purchase obligations as of December 31, 2018 are as follows (in millions):

Note O.	Employee Benefit Plans

Omnibus Plan

In 2017, we established the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) authorizing the issuance of up to 3.9 million shares of common stock, subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan. The 2017 Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares, performance units, other cash and stock-based awards and dividend equivalents. As of December 31, 2018 , there were 575,655 shares of Cannae restricted stock outstanding (the "CNNE Awards") under the Omnibus Plan. Awards granted are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

Restricted stock transactions under the Omnibus Plan in 2018 and 2017 are as follows:




	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Vested	(95,685	)	18.45
Balance, December 31, 2018	575,655		$	18.13

Compensation cost relating to share-based payments is recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations based on the grant-date fair value of each award. Using the fair value method of accounting, compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and recognized over the service period of 3 years. Fair value of restricted stock awards and units is based on the grant date value of the underlying stock derived from quoted market prices. Net earnings attributable to Cannae reflects stock-based compensation expense for the CNNE Awards of $2.0 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, which are included in personnel costs on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. There was no expense related to CNNE Awards in 2016. The total fair value of restricted stock awards granted in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $6.9 million and $5.3 million , respectively.

As of December 31, 2018 , the unrecognized compensation cost related to the CNNE Awards is $10.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.79 years.

On May 16, 2018, we issued 991,906 shares of our common stock (unrestricted) under the Omnibus Plan for the stock portion of bonuses paid in conjunction with the Ceridian IPO. See Note A.

FNFV Restricted Stock Awards

Prior to the Split-Off, we historically participated in FNF's Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “ FNF Omnibus Plan”) which provided for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares, performance units, other cash and stock-based awards and dividend equivalents in either of FNF's two former classes of common stock, FNF Group and FNFV Group. As of December 31, 2018 there were no shares of FNFV Group restricted stock outstanding (the "FNFV Awards") under the FNF Omnibus Plan.

Prior to the Split-Off, stock-based compensation related to FNFV Awards was allocated to us by FNF. Compensation cost relating to share-based payments is recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements based on the fair value of each award. Using the fair value method of accounting, compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and recognized over the service period of 3 years. Fair value of restricted stock awards and units is based on the grant date value of the underlying stock derived from quoted market prices. Net earnings attributable to FNFV reflects the allocation of stock-based compensation expense for the FNFV Awards of $4.2 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively which are included in personnel costs on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2018, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the FNFV Awards.


Note P.	Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables.

We place cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up our customer base, thus spreading the trade receivables credit risk. We control credit risk through monitoring procedures.

Our restaurant group companies obtain a majority of their restaurant food products and supplies from five distributors. Although we believe alternative vendors could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could potentially have an adverse impact on operating results.

The activities in our segments include the following:

•

Restaurant Group. This segment consists of the operations of ABRH and 99 Restaurants, in which we have 65.4% and 88.5% ownership interests, respectively. ABRH and its affiliates are the owners and operators of the O'Charley's, Village Inn and Bakers Square food service and restaurant concepts, as well as the Legendary Baking bakery operation. 99 Restaurants and its affiliates are the owners and operators of Ninety Nine Restaurants restaurant concept. This segment also included the results of operations of the Max & Erma's restaurant concept, which was sold on January 25, 2016.

•

Ceridian. This segment consists of our 23.5% ownership interest in Ceridian. Ceridian, through its operating subsidiary, is a global company that offers a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage employment processes, such as payroll, payroll related tax filing, human resource information systems, employee self-service, time and labor management, employee assistance and work-life programs, and recruitment and applicant screening. Ceridian's cloud offering, Dayforce, is a cloud solution that meets HCM needs with one employee record and one user experience throughout the application. Dayforce enables organizations to process payroll, maintain human resources records, manage benefits enrollment, schedule staff, and find and hire personnel, while monitoring compliance throughout the employee life cycle. Our chief operating decision maker reviews the full financial results of Ceridian for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources. Thus, we have included the full financial results of Ceridian in the table above. We account for our investment in Ceridian under the equity method of accounting and therefore its results of operations do not consolidate into ours. Accordingly, we have presented the elimination of Ceridian's results in the Ceridian Elimination section of the segment presentation above.

•


•	Corporate and Other. This segment consists of our share in the operations of certain controlled portfolio companies and other equity investments as well as certain intercompany eliminations and taxes. Total assets for this segment as of December 31, 2016 also include the assets of One Digital. See Note N Discontinued Operations for further details.

Note R. Related Party Transactions

FNF

As a former wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF, we have incurred payables related to historical intercompany transactions, taxes and cost allocations between us and FNF. FNF forgave these historical intercompany receivables due from us which amounted to $4.5 million and $9.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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. Total operating expenses allocated from FNF to us was $1.3 million , $9.5 million and $9.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

On November 16, 2017, certain subsidiaries of FNF contributed an aggregate of $100.0 million to us (the "FNF Investment") in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock.

We have a $100.0 million Revolver Note with FNF. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there is no outstanding balance under the FNF Revolver or Revolver Note. On February 7, 2019, we drew the entire $100 million available and used the proceeds to fund, in part, the DNB Acquisition. Refer to Note K Notes Payable for further discussion.

Sale of Max & Erma's

On January 25, 2016, ABRH completed the sale of its Max & Erma's restaurant concept for $6.5 million pursuant to an APA. The buyer was a joint venture formed by Newport Global Opportunities Fund 1-A AIV LP and Glacier Restaurant Group ("GRG"), a restaurant owner and operator majority-owned by William P. Foley II, the Chairman of FNF's Boards of Directors. The transaction included the sale of 26 restaurants to GRG along with all Max & Erma's tradenames/trademarks and franchise operations, and other assets and liabilities. While the real estate leases for 25 leased restaurants were assigned to the buyer, ABRH was not released from liability under the leases and remains liable in the event the buyer fails to pay amounts due thereunder. As of December 31, 2018, there are 21 such leases still in force and the maximum amount of this guarantee is $18.2 million .


Note S.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU provides a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations was issued by FASB in March 2016 to clarify the principal versus agent considerations within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing was issued by the FASB in April 2016 to clarify how to determine whether goods and services are separately identifiable and thus accounted for as separate performance obligations. ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients was issued by the FASB in May 2016 to clarify certain terms from the aforementioned updates and to add practical expedients for contracts at various stages of completion. ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued by the FASB in December 2016 which includes thirteen technical corrections and improvements affecting narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09.

We adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606") on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We applied the standard to all contracts existing at the date of initial application. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on the timing or amount of recognition of revenue for our primary sources of revenue. As a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 606, we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $1.9 million which increased Retained earnings. As a result of errors identified in our adjustment for the cumulative effect of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 as of the date of adoption (January 1, 2018), as further discussed in Note A, the cumulative effect adjustment decreased by $2.4 million from the $4.3 million (net of tax), as reported, to $1.9 million (net of tax), as corrected. See Note U for further discussion of our revenue.

In February 2016, the FASB issued 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

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

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, to be reflected on the lessee's balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the standard is permitted. The ASU allows for a modified retrospective approach to transitioning which allows for the use of practical expedients to effectively account for leases commenced prior to the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP, except that lessees were required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. 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 and only include required disclosures for prior periods.

We have identified a vendor with software suited to track and account for leases under the new standard and have transitioned our lease accounting within the software. We anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets. However, while we are still completing our analysis, we do not anticipate that adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations. The most significant impact of the adoption of this standard relates to our accounting for leased real estate for our Restaurant Group. We plan to adopt this standard using a modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of 2019 and to use the package of practical expedients available upon adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. 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 debt 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 currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. We do not expect to early adopt the standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The new guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We adopted this new guidance in the year ended December 31, 2018 and assessed our goodwill for impairment under the new standard. See Note A.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Act. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on April 1, 2018 resulting in a reclassification of $16.1 million of deferred taxes from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Retained earnings. Our policy is to release income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income at such time as the earnings or loss of the related activity are recognized in earnings (e.g., upon sale of an investment security).

Note U — Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 by applying the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on the timing or amount of recognition of revenue for our primary sources of revenue. Differences between our historical revenue recognition and revenue which would have been recorded had we retrospectively restated prior periods to conform with ASC Topic 606 are not considered material. We recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity as of January 1, 2018 of $1.9 million as a result of adoption of ASC Topic 606. See Note A for discussion of immaterial corrections to our previously reported cumulative effect adjustment for ASC Topic 606.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Our revenue consists of:



		Year ended December 31,
		2018

Restaurant revenue:		(in millions)
Restaurant sales	Restaurant Group	$	1,023.0
Bakery sales	Restaurant Group	88.8

T-System recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized is determined by the consideration that T-System expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods and services. T-System's contracts with customers typically do not include variable consideration such as right of return or refund or other form of incentives or considerations payable to customers.

T-System sells an electronic version of the medical documentation system (“EV”), provided in the form of a non-exclusive license to use the software at the sites under the agreement when the software is made available to the customer. EV contracts with customers can include various combinations of products and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations such as software licenses, implementation services, third party interface licenses or subscriptions, hardware, and maintenance (software updates and technical support services). T-System sells software licenses through recurring fixed-term or subscription fee arrangements and one-time perpetual license arrangements (perpetual licenses), and as software as a service solution (cloud solutions). EV term license and perpetual license contracts include performance obligations that are both satisfied at a point in time and over a period of time as goods and services are transferred. T-System also sells legacy medical documentation templates ("T-Sheets") to emergency care providers to be used for documentation of patient care. T-Sheets includes various optional recurring fixed-term or subscription licenses which are recognized over time after access to the template has been delivered to the customer. EV software as a service contracts typically include one stand ready performance obligation to provide subscription services which are satisfied over time. Judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the cloud service and recognized over time. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price ("SSP") for each distinct performance

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include our pricing strategy and other observable inputs.

T-System typically bills its customers on a monthly or other frequent periodic basis in accordance with the underlying contracts with its customers. We have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from our customers. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about receivables and deferred revenue:



	December 31,
	2018
	(In millions)
Trade receivables, billed (1)	$	40.3
Unbilled accounts receivable, current (1)	9.5
Unbilled accounts receivable, long term (2)	10.6
Deferred revenue (contract liabilities)	31.7

(1) Included in Trade receivables on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets

(2) Included in Other noncurrent assets on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets

Unbilled accounts receivable is recorded primarily for our T-System EV and RevCycle+ revenue related to software, licenses, license implementation (including upfront training) and other performance obligations which are recognized in revenue at a point-in-time upon satisfaction of performance obligations, but collected in cash ratably over the term of the underlying contract.

Deferred revenue is recorded primarily for restaurant gift card sales and certain T-System revenue. The unrecognized portion of such revenue is recorded as Deferred revenue in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. Revenue of $20.7 million was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2018 that was included in Deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.

There was no impairment related to contract balances.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2018 , $14.1 million of revenue is estimated to be recognized in the future from the Company’s remaining unfulfilled performance obligations, which are primarily comprised of recurring, long-term contracts of one to five years associated with T-System's RevCycle+ and EV contracts. This excludes the amount of anticipated recurring renewals not yet contractually obligated. The Company expects to recognize approximately 55% of our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, approximately another 28% over the next 13 to 24 months, and the balance thereafter.

Item 9A.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and

Table of Contents

principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018 solely because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in relation to our accounting for revenue at T-System as further described below.

However, giving full consideration to the deficiencies identified and discussed below, we have concluded that the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in our Quarterly Reports for the periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2018, present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018.

A material weakness, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

On October 16, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of T-System, a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using a modified retrospective approach and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment (the "ASC 606 Adjustment") through opening equity. The ASC 606 Adjustment recorded is related solely to the change in accounting for certain revenue streams of T-System. T-System revenue represents approximately 5% of consolidated total revenue of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. As discussed in Notes A and S to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, during our reporting process for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2018, it was determined that the ASC 606 Adjustment related to T-System revenue previously recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year of 2018, and also included in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Equity in the second and third quarters of 2018, was misstated.

Management concluded that material weaknesses exist related to the control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities around the Company’s adoption and application of ASC 606 at T-System and are attributable to the failure of management to (1) design and implement control activities over the accuracy and completeness of the underlying information used to derive the revenue related accounting entries for the adoption and application of ASC 606 at T-System; (2) design and implement control activities, including the related supporting documentation, around the determination of the ongoing revenue accounting at T-System; and (3) monitor related revenue control activities at T-System in order to prevent or detect material misstatements.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP , an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect , our internal control over financial reporting.

We expect to remediate the material weaknesses identified during the year ended December 31, 2019. Remediation efforts will include improving the design and implementation of our controls around the application of ASC 606 at T-System to include more detailed reviews of underlying data used to derive the revenue related accounting entries, enhancing communication between the Company and T-System management to include emphasis of the importance of validation of underlying data used, improving supporting documentation around the determination of the ongoing revenue accounting, including utilizing external resources to assist with accounting and reporting for ASC 606 at T-System, and improving our monitoring of these activities related to the accounting and reporting for revenue at T-System.
