Description of the Business

We have organized our business into two groups, FNF Group and FNF Ventures ("FNFV").

Through FNF Group, we are a leading provider of (i) title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, including trust activities, trustee sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances and home warranty insurance and (ii) technology and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries. FNF is the nation’s largest title insurance company operating through its title insurance underwriters - Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, Alamo Title Insurance and National Title Insurance of New York Inc. - which collectively issue more title insurance policies than any other title company in the United States. Through our subsidiary ServiceLink Holdings, LLC ("ServiceLink"), we provide mortgage transaction services including title-related services and facilitation of production and management of mortgage loans. FNF also provides industry-leading mortgage technology solutions, including MSP®, the leading residential mortgage servicing technology platform in the U.S., through its majority-owned subsidiary, Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. ("Black Knight").

Through our FNFV group, we own majority and minority equity investment stakes in a number of entities, including American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH"), Ceridian HCM, Inc. ("Ceridian"), and Digital Insurance, Inc. ("Digital Insurance").

As of September 30, 2016 , we had the following reporting segments:

Recent Developments

During the second quarter of 2016 we invested $30 million in CF Corporation (“CF Corp”, NYSE: CFCOU), a blank check company co-founded by William P. Foley, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Mr. Foley also serves as the Co-Executive Chairman of CF Corp. As of September 30, 2016, our investment in CF Corp has a fair value of $31 million and is included in Equity securities available for sale on the corresponding Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On May 16, 2016, Black Knight completed its acquisition of eLynx Holdings, Inc. ("eLynx"), a leading lending document and data delivery platform, for $115 million . eLynx helps clients in the financial services and real estate industries electronically capture and manage documents and associated data throughout the document lifecycle. This acquisition positions Black Knight to electronically support the full mortgage origination process. See Note B for further discussion.

On May 2, 2016, we purchased certain shares of common and preferred stock of Ceridian Holding, LLC, the ultimate parent of Ceridian, from third-party minority interest holders for $17 million . As a result of this purchase, our ownership of Ceridian increased from 32% to 33% .

On April 29, 2016, pursuant to the terms of a certain “synthetic lease” agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004, as amended on June 27, 2011, and further described under Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, we exercised our option to purchase the land and various real property improvements associated with our corporate campus and headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida from SunTrust Bank for $71 million .

On March 30, 2016, Ceridian HCM Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ceridian, completed its offering (the "Offering") of senior convertible preferred shares for aggregate proceeds of $150 million . As part of the Offering, FNF purchased a number of shares equal to its pro-rata ownership in Ceridian for $47 million . FNF's ownership percentage in Ceridian did not change as a result of the transaction.

On February 18, 2016 our Board of Directors approved a new FNFV Group three -year stock repurchase program, effective March 1, 2016, under which we may repurchase up to 15 million shares of FNFV Group common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time by us in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions through February 28, 2019.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders in a given period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain stock options, shares of restricted stock, convertible debt instruments and certain other convertible share based payments which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.

The net earnings of Black Knight in our calculation of diluted earnings per share is adjusted for dilution related to certain Black Knight restricted stock granted to employees in accordance with ASC 260-10-55-20. We calculate the ratio of the Class B shares we hold to the total weighted average diluted shares of Black Knight outstanding and multiply such ratio by Black Knight's net earnings. The result is used as a substitution for Black Knight's net earnings attributable to FNF included in our consolidated net earnings in the numerator for our diluted earnings per share calculation. As the result had no effect for the three or nine-months ended September 30, 2016, there were no adjustments made to net earnings attributable to FNF in our calculation of diluted earnings per share. There are no adjustments to earnings attributable to FNF in our calculation of basic earnings per share. There are no adjustments made to net earnings attributable to FNFV in our calculation of basic or diluted earnings per share.

Options or other instruments which provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were 2 million antidilutive options outstanding during both the three

and nine-months ended September 30, 2016 . There were no antidilutive options outstanding during the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 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. We are evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. Upon issuance of ASU 2015-14, the effective date of ASU 2014-09 was deferred to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This ASU changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The ASU eliminates the ASU 2010-10 deferral of the ASU 2009-17 VIE consolidation requirements for certain investment companies and similar entities. In addition, the ASU excludes money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or that operate under requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7 from the GAAP consolidation requirements. The ASU also significantly changes how to evaluate voting rights for entities that are not similar to limited partnerships when determining whether the entity is a VIE, which may affect entities for which the decision making rights are conveyed though a contractual arrangement. The update allows for the application of the amendments using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or retrospective application for prior periods. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. We adopted the update as of March 31, 2016. The update did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17 Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, which clarified certain aspects of assessing a VIE for consolidation as a decision maker when related party interests exist. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As we have already adopted ASU 2015-02, the ASU requires that adjustments resulting from adoption, if any, be applied retrospectively to all relevant prior periods presented beginning with the fiscal year in which the amendments in ASU 2015-02 initially were applied. The update will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations and no adjustments were made to prior periods.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-09 Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts . The amendments in this ASU require insurance entities to disclose for annual reporting periods additional information about the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses related to short-duration contracts. The amendments also require insurance entities to disclose information about significant changes in methodologies and assumptions used to calculate the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. This update will not have a significant effect on our ongoing financial reporting as our primary insurance products are not short-duration contracts. Except for certain disclosure requirements, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The acquirer will be required to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Entities will also be required to present separately on the face of the income statement

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires the prospective application of the amendments for adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after its effective date. We adopted the update as of March 31, 2016. The update did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The primary amendments required by the ASU include: requiring equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value through net income rather than through other comprehensive income; allowing entities with equity investments without readily determinable fair values to report the investments at cost, adjusted for changes in observable prices, less impairment; requiring entities that elect the fair value option for financial liabilities to report the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income; and clarifying that entities should assess the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires a cumulative-effect adjustment of the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption of the ASU is not permitted, except for the provision related to financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects.

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 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 requires 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 are 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. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-04 Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products . The primary amendment in this ASU will provide guidance for derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities that meet certain criteria and was designed to alleviate diversity in practice under current GAAP. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect this update to have a significant effect on our ongoing financial reporting as we do not have a significant liability for prepaid stored-value products. However, we are still evaluating the totality of the effects the update will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting . The primary amendment in this ASU is to eliminate the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the update as of March 31, 2016. The update did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This standard makes several modifications to ASC Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU No. 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2016. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 we have recorded $3 million and $13 million , respectively, in income tax benefit related to the tax effects associated with the exercise of stock options within Income tax expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. There was no impact to opening equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. There was no impact to net earnings for the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 has been restated to conform with the current period, which resulted in an increase to both cash flows provided by operations and cash flows used in financing activities of $13 million for the period. We did not change our accounting policy

for estimating expected forfeitures of stock compensation.

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 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The amendments in this ASU introduce clarifications to the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary updates include additions and clarifications of the classification of cash flows related to certain debt repayment activities, contingent consideration payments related to business combinations, proceeds from insurance policies, distributions from equity method investees, and cash flows related to securitized receivables. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects.

CINC's financial position and results of operations from the acquisition date are included in our Core Corporate and Other segment. The acquisition does not meet the definition of "significant" pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation S-X (§210.3-05). Further, the results of operations are not material to our financial statements.

Our Level 2 fair value measures for fixed-maturities available for sale are provided by third-party pricing services. We utilize one firm for our taxable bond and preferred stock portfolio and another for our tax-exempt bond portfolio. These pricing services are leading global providers of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. We rely on one price for each instrument to determine the carrying amount of the assets on our balance sheet. The inputs utilized in these pricing methodologies include observable measures such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. We review the pricing methodologies for all of our Level 2 securities by obtaining an understanding of the valuation models and assumptions used by the third-party as well as independently comparing the resulting prices to other publicly available measures of fair value and internally developed models. The pricing methodologies used by the relevant third-party pricing services are as follows:


•	U.S. government and agencies: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers.


•	State and political subdivisions: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers. Factors considered include relevant trade information, dealer quotes and other relevant market data.


•	Corporate debt securities: These securities are valued based on dealer quotes and related market trading activity. Factors considered include the bond's yield, its terms and conditions, and any other feature which may influence its risk and thus marketability, as well as relative credit information and relevant sector news.


•	Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities: These securities are comprised of agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities. They are valued based on available trade information, dealer quotes, cash flows, relevant indices and market data for similar assets in active markets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued


•	Foreign government bonds: These securities are valued based on a discounted cash flow model incorporating observable market inputs such as available broker quotes and yields of comparable securities.


•	Preferred stocks: Preferred stocks are valued by calculating the appropriate spread over a comparable U.S. Treasury security. Inputs include benchmark quotes and other relevant market data.


•	Equity securities available for sale: This security is valued using a blending of two models, a discounted cash flow model and a comparable company model utilizing earnings and multiples of similar publicly-traded companies.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 we held no assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

The carrying amounts of short-term investments, accounts receivable and notes receivable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Additional information regarding the fair value of our investment portfolio is included in Note D.

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

We recorded $5 million in impairment charges relating to investments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 . The impairment charges related to a fixed maturity security and an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate in which we determined the ability to recover our investment was unlikely. We recorded $2 million in impairment charges relating to investments during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 related to the aforementioned fixed maturity security. We recorded $9 million in impairment charges on fixed maturity securities during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 relating to investments that were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The impairment charges were for fixed maturity securities that we determined the credit risk of the holdings was high and the ability of the issuer to pay the full amount of the principal was unlikely. As of September 30, 2016 we held $1 million in fixed maturity securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. As of December 31, 2015, we held $2 million in fixed maturity and equity securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may

lead us to recognize 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2016 , the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $3,163 million , which was $386 million higher than its carrying value, excluding $23 million of net unamortized debt issuance costs and premium/discount. The carrying values of our ABRH term loan, ABRH revolving credit facility and Digital Insurance revolving credit facility approximate the fair values at September 30, 2016 as they are variable rate instruments with short reset periods which reflect current market rates. The fair value of our unsecured notes payable was $1,775 million as of September 30, 2016 . The fair values of our unsecured notes payable are based on established market prices for the securities on September 30, 2016 and are considered Level 2 financial liabilities. The carrying value of the Black Knight Term A, Term B, and revolving facilities approximate fair value at September 30, 2016 . The revolving credit facilities are considered Level 2 financial liabilities.

As of September 30, 2016 , ABRH had $94 million outstanding for the ABRH Term Loan, had $8 million outstanding under the ABRH Revolver, had $ 16 million of outstanding letters of credit and had $ 76 million of remaining borrowing capacity under the ABRH Credit Facility.

On January 2, 2014, as a result of our acquisition of Lender Processing Services ("LPS"), FNF acquired $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due in 2023, initially issued by BKIS on October 12, 2012 (the "Black Knight Senior Notes"). The material terms of the Black Knight Senior Notes are set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015. On January 16, 2014, we issued an offer to purchase the Black Knight Senior Notes pursuant to the change of control provisions at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the purchase date. The offer expired on February 18, 2014. As a result of the offer, bondholders tendered $ 5 million in principal of the Black Knight Senior Notes, which were subsequently purchased by us on February 24, 2014.

Note F — Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Regulatory Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. With respect to our title insurance operations, this customary litigation includes but is not limited to a wide variety of cases arising out of or related to title and escrow claims, for which we

Table of Contents

FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

make provisions through our loss reserves. Additionally, like other companies, our ordinary course litigation includes a number of class action and purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to aspects of our operations. We believe that no actions, other than the matters discussed below, depart from customary litigation 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 has been recorded. Our accrual for legal and regulatory matters was $64 million as of September 30, 2016 and $75 million as of December 31, 2015 . None of the amounts we have currently recorded are considered to be material to our financial condition individually or in the aggregate. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, at present we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Following a review by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision (collectively, the “banking agencies”), Lender Processing Services, Inc. (“LPS”) entered into a consent order (the “Order”) dated April 13, 2011 with the banking agencies. The banking agencies’ review of LPS’s services included the services provided by LPS’s default operations to mortgage servicers regulated by the banking agencies, including document execution services. The Order does not make any findings of fact or conclusions of wrongdoing, nor did LPS admit any fault or liability. Under the Order, LPS agreed to further study the issues identified in the review and to enhance LPS’s compliance, internal audit, risk management and board oversight plans with respect to those businesses. LPS also agreed to engage an independent third party to conduct a risk assessment and review of LPS’s default management businesses and the document execution services it provided to mortgage servicers from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010.

The document execution review by the independent third party has been on indefinite hold since June 30, 2013 while the banking agencies consider what, if any, additional review work they would like the independent third party to undertake. Accordingly, the document execution review has taken and will continue to take longer to complete than the Company originally anticipated. In addition, the LPS default operations that were subject to the Order were contributed to ServiceLink in connection with FNF's acquisition of LPS in January 2014. To the extent such review, once completed, requires additional remediation of mortgage documents or identifies any financial injury from the document execution services LPS provided, ServiceLink (as a result of the contribution of the underlying LPS business) has agreed to implement an appropriate plan to address the issues. The Order contains various deadlines to accomplish the undertakings set forth therein, including the preparation of a remediation plan following the completion of the document execution review. ServiceLink will continue to make periodic reports to the banking agencies on the progress with respect to each of the undertakings in the Order. Although the Order does not include any fine or other monetary penalty, the banking agencies reserved their right to impose civil monetary penalties at any time. Based on discussions with the banking agencies and actions taken by the banking agencies with respect to other companies, the Company believes the likelihood that the banking agencies will assess a civil monetary penalty is both probable and reasonably estimable, and ServiceLink Holdings, LLC has included an estimate of such loss in its accrual for loss contingencies. The banking agencies notified ServiceLink in December 2015 that they wish to discuss terminating the Order through a possible agreed upon civil monetary penalty amount in lieu of requiring any additional document execution review by the independent third party. At this time, the parties have not agreed on a possible civil monetary penalty amount; however, in the quarter ended September 30, 2016, ServiceLink has adjusted the amount accrued in loss contingencies from $55 million to $60 million based on the ongoing discussions. The parties have entered into a tolling agreement to allow the parties to engage in these discussions. This matter is subject to a Cross-Indemnity Agreement dated December 22, 2014, between Black Knight Financial Services, LLC and ServiceLink Holdings, LLC.

On December 16, 2013, LPS received notice that Merion Capital, L.P. and Merion Capital II, L.P. (together "Merion Capital") were asserting their appraisal right relative to their ownership of 5,682,276 shares of LPS stock (the “Appraisal Shares”) in connection with the acquisition of LPS by FNF on January 2, 2014. On February 6, 2014, Merion Capital filed an appraisal proceeding, captioned Merion Capital LP and Merion Capital II, LP v. Lender Processing Services, Inc., C.A. No. 9320-VCL, in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking a judicial determination of the "fair" value of Merion Capital's 5,682,276 shares of LPS common stock under Delaware law, together with statutory interest. We filed an answer to this suit on March 3, 2014. Merion’s expert opined that the consideration should have been $50.46 per share, which was approximately 36 percent higher than the final consideration of $37.14 , and therefore, they are owed an additional $76 million plus statutory interest, which is approximately $13 million as of September 30, 2016. The Company’s position is that the merger consideration paid was fair value, and no additional consideration is owed. A bench trial was held in May 2016, and post-trial arguments were heard on September 21, 2016. We will continue to vigorously defend against the appraisal proceedings, and we do not believe the result will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

From time to time we receive inquiries and requests for information from state insurance departments, attorneys general and other regulatory agencies about various matters relating to our business. Sometimes these take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. We cooperate with all such inquiries and we have responded to or are currently responding to inquiries from multiple governmental agencies. Also, regulators and courts have been dealing with issues arising from foreclosures and related processes and documentation. Various governmental entities are studying the title insurance product, market, pricing, and business practices, and potential regulatory and legislative changes, which may materially affect our business and operations. From time to time, we are assessed fines for violations of regulations or other matters or enter into settlements with such authorities which may require us to pay fines or claims or take other actions.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; continued weakness or adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding or a weak U.S. economy; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as our main source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations or in their application by regulators; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2015 and other filings with the SEC.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

Overview

For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion under Basis of Financial Statements in Note A to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.

Business Trends and Conditions

Title

Our Title segment revenue is closely related to the level of real estate activity which includes sales, mortgage financing and mortgage refinancing. Declines in the level of real estate activity or the average price of real estate sales will adversely affect our title insurance revenues.

We have found that residential real estate activity is generally dependent on the following factors:


•	mortgage interest rates;


•	mortgage funding supply; and


•	strength of the United States economy, including employment levels.

From December 2008 through September 2016, the Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate at historically low levels of 0.0%-0.50%. As a result of the low federal funds rate, mortgage interest rates were at historically low levels over the same period. Through 2015 and the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, mortgage interest rates fluctuated between 3.25% and 4.25% and have dropped to the lower end of such range in the current period.

As of October 25, 2016 the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") estimated the size of the U.S. mortgage originations market as shown in the following table for 2015 - 2018 in their "Mortgage Finance Forecast" (in trillions):



	2018		2017		2016		2015
Purchase transactions	$	1.2	$	1.1	$	1.0	$	0.9
Refinance transactions	0.4		0.5		0.9		0.8
Total U.S. mortgage originations forecast	$	1.6	$	1.6	$	1.9	$	1.7

The extended period of low interest rates described above resulted in a greater proportion of refinance transactions to overall mortgage originations compared to historical norms. In 2015, the ratio of refinances to total originations increased to nearly 50% as the anticipation of increased mortgage rates resulting from projected increases in the target federal funds rate weighed on the market. The MBA predicts the ratio of refinance transactions will remain high through 2016 and subsequently decrease through 2018 as it returns to historical norms. The MBA also predicts overall mortgage originations in 2017 through 2018 will decrease compared to the 2015 and 2016 periods due to a decrease in refinance transactions. We cannot be certain how, if at all, the positive effects of a change in mix of purchase to refinance transactions and negative effects of projected decreases in overall originations will impact our future results of operations. We continually monitor origination trends and believe that, based on our ability to produce industry leading operating margins through all economic cycles, we are well positioned to adjust our operations for adverse changes in real estate activity.

Table of Contents

Because commercial real estate transactions tend to be driven by supply and demand for commercial space and occupancy rates in a particular area rather than by interest rate fluctuations, we believe that our commercial real estate title insurance business is less dependent on the industry cycles discussed above than our residential real estate title business. Commercial real estate transaction volume is also often linked to the availability of financing. For several years through 2015 we experienced continual year-over-year increases in the fee per file of commercial transactions. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we experienced a slight decrease in the fee per file of commercial transactions as compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The volume of our commercial real estate transactions has also decreased slightly, but remained strong through the current period.

In addition to state-level regulation, segments of our FNF Group businesses are subject to regulation by federal agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). The CFPB was established under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank") which also included regulation over financial services and other lending related businesses including Black Knight. The CFPB has been given broad authority to regulate, among other areas, the mortgage and real estate markets in matters pertaining to consumers. This authority includes the enforcement of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act formerly placed with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. On July 9, 2012, the CFPB introduced a number of proposed rules related to the enforcement of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Truth in Lending Act, including, among others, measures designed to (i) simplify financing documentation and (ii) require lenders to deliver to consumers a statement of final financing charges (and the related annual percentage rate) at least three business days prior to the closing. These rules became effective on January 10, 2014.

On November 20, 2013, the CFPB issued additional rules regarding mortgage forms and other mortgage related disclosures with the intent to provide "easier-to-use" mortgage disclosure forms for consumers. The additional disclosure rules require participants in the mortgage market, including us, to make significant changes to the manner in which they create, process, and deliver certain disclosures to consumers in connection with mortgage loan applications. The additional disclosures are effective for mortgage loan applications made on or after October 3, 2015. The main provisions of the additional disclosures include amending Regulation Z (the Truth in Lending Act) and Regulation X (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) (collectively, the “TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure" or "TRID”) to consolidate existing loan disclosures under TILA and RESPA for closed-end credit transactions secured by real property. TRID requires (i) timely delivery of a loan estimate upon receipt of a consumer’s application and (ii) timely delivery of a closing disclosure prior to consummation. TRID also imposes certain restrictions, including the prohibition of imposing fees prior to provision of an estimate and the prohibition of providing estimates prior to a consumer’s submission of verifying documents. We do not believe the changes will have a significant effect on long-term mortgage volumes and do not believe this had a material impact on our results from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Readiness for and compliance with TRID required extensive planning; changes to systems, forms and processes; and heightened coordination among market participants. We believe that FNF, its agents or other market participants have generally been successful in their implementation efforts. It is our experience that mortgage lenders have become increasingly focused on the risk of non-compliance with these evolving regulations and the technologies and solutions that help them to comply with the increased regulatory oversight and burdens. Black Knight has developed solutions that target this need, which has resulted in additional revenue for Black Knight.

H istorically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue fluctuations in the real estate industry including title insurers. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The third calendar quarter is typically the strongest quarter in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of home sales in the summer months. The fourth quarter is typically also strong due to the desire of commercial entities to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short-term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates and the implementation and subsequent expiration of government programs designed to stimulate the real estate market. In 2015 and into 2016, we saw seasonality trends return closer to historical patterns. During 2015, we experienced a moderate increase in existing home sales and a decline in total housing inventory. The trend has continued through the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Black Knight

Underlying the mortgage loan life cycle is the technology and data and analytics support behind each process, which has become increasingly critical to industry participants due to the complexity of regulatory requirements. As the industry has grown in complexity, participants have responded by outsourcing to large scale specialty providers, automating manual processes and seeking end-to-end solutions that support the processes required to manage the entire mortgage loan life cycle.

Black Knight's various businesses are impacted differently by the level of mortgage originations, including refinancing transactions. Black Knight's mortgage servicing platform is less affected by varying levels of mortgage originations because it earns revenues based on the total number of mortgage loans it processes, which tend to stay more constant than the market for originations. Black Knight's origination technology and some of its data businesses are directly affected by the volume of real estate transactions and mortgage originations, but many of its client contracts for origination technology contain minimum charges.

Table of Contents

Black Knight's various businesses are also impacted by general economic conditions. For example, in the event that a difficult economy or other factors lead to a decline in levels of home ownership and a reduction in the number of mortgage loans outstanding and Black Knight is not able to counter the impact of those events with increased market share or higher fees, it could have a material adverse effect on our mortgage processing revenues. In contrast, we believe that a weaker economy tends to increase the volume of consumer mortgage defaults, which may increase the revenues in Black Knight's specialty servicing technology business that is used to service residential mortgage loans in default. Moreover, interest rates tend to decline in a weaker economy driving higher than normal refinance transactions that provide potential volume increases to Black Knight's origination technology offerings, most specifically the RealEC Exchange platform.

FNFV

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. 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.

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.

Our operating expenses consist primarily of Personnel costs; Other operating expenses, which in our title business are incurred as orders are received and processed and at Black Knight for data processing and program design and development costs; Agent commissions, which are incurred as revenue is recognized; and Cost of restaurant revenue. Title insurance premiums, escrow and title-related fees are generally recognized as income at the time the underlying transaction closes or other service is provided. Direct title operations revenue often lags approximately 45-60 days behind expenses and therefore gross margins may fluctuate. The changes in the market environment, mix of business between direct and agency operations and the contributions from our various business units have historically impacted margins and net earnings. We have implemented programs and have taken

necessary actions to maintain expense levels consistent with revenue streams. However, a short-term lag exists in reducing controllable fixed costs and certain fixed costs are incurred regardless of revenue levels.

Agent commissions represent the portion of premiums retained by our third-party agents pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of facilities expenses, title plant maintenance, premium taxes (which insurance underwriters are required to pay on title premiums in lieu of franchise and other state taxes), appraisal fees and other cost of sales on ServiceLink product offerings and other title-related products, postage and courier services, computer services, professional services, travel expenses, general insurance, and bad debt expense on our trade and notes receivable.

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.

The Provision for title claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title and title-related claims, and escrow losses.

The change in expenses from the FNF Group segments and FNFV segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

Income tax expense was $95 million and $81 million in the three -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $245 million and $219 million in the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 35% and 34% for the three -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and 35% and 34% for the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings, such as the weighting of operating income versus investment income.

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates was $ 7 million and $ 19 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $6 million and $16 million for the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The equity in losses in 2016 and 2015 consisted primarily of net losses related to our investment in Ceridian, offset by earnings at various other unconsolidated affiliates, which is described further at the segment level below.

(1) Percentages exclude consideration of an immaterial number of non-purchase and non-refinance orders.

Title premiums from direct operations increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the three-month period is primarily due to an increase in closed order volume offset by an unfavorable change in the mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions. The increase in the nine-month period is primarily due to an increase in closed order volume and a favorable change in mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions. We experienced favorable increase s in closed title insurance order volumes from both purchase and refinance transactions in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . Closed order volumes were 433,000 and 1,156,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively compared with 378,000 and 1,132,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. This represented an overall increase of 15% and 2%, respectively. Open title orders increased similarly over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the three-month period reflected an increase in purchase and refinance transactions.The average fee per file in our direct operations was $2,015 and $2,055 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to $2,133 and $2,003 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The decrease in average fee per file in the three-month period reflects the unfavorable change in mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions and the increase in the nine-month period reflects a favorable change in mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions. The fee per file tends to change as the mix of refinance and purchase transactions changes, because purchase transactions involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy, resulting in higher fees, whereas refinance transactions only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower fees.

The increase in title premiums from agency operations is primarily the result of an increase in remitted agency premiums due to strength in agency driven real estate markets and an increase in the number of independent agents with which we transacted business period over period.

Escrow, title-related and other fees increased by $32 million , or 6% , in the three months ended September 30, 2016 , and increased by $65 million , or 4% , in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the corresponding periods in 2015 . Escrow fees, which are more closely related to our direct operations, increased by $33 million, or 17%, in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and increased $61 million, or 12%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase is representative of the favorable increase in closed title insurance orders from purchase transactions previously discussed. Other fees in the Title segment, excluding escrow fees, decreased by $1 million, or less than 1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2016 , and increased $4 million, or less than 1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the corresponding periods in 2015 .

Interest and investment income levels are primarily a function of securities markets, interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment. Interest and investment income decreased by $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and increased by $2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 .

Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. There was a $31 million , or 6% increase in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 , and a $74 million , or 5% , increase in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the 2016 period is primarily due to higher commissions and bonuses associated with higher closed order counts. Personnel costs as a percentage of total revenues from direct title premiums and escrow, title-related and other fees were 51% and 53% for the three and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 51% and 52% for the three and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. Average employee count in the Title segment was

22,490 and 21,444 in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and 21,714 and 20,696 in the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of facilities expenses, title plant maintenance, premium taxes (which insurance underwriters are required to pay on title premiums in lieu of franchise and other state taxes), postage and courier services, computer services, professional services, travel expenses, general insurance, and bad debt expense on our trade and notes receivable. Other operating expenses increased by $ 15 million , or 4% in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and increased $28 million , or 3% , in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the corresponding periods in 2015 . Other operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue excluding agency premiums, interest and investment income, and realized gains and losses have remained consistent across all periods.

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

The following table illustrates the relationship of agent premiums and agent commissions, which have remained relatively consistent since 2015:



	Three months ended September 30,								Nine months ended September 30,
	2016		%		2015		%		2016		%		2015		%
	(Dollars in millions)
Agent premiums	713		100	%	647		100	%	$	1,934	100	%	$	1,685	100	%
Agent commissions	545		76	%	495		77	%	1,473		76	%	1,279		76	%
Net retained agent premiums	$	168	24	%	$	152	23	%	$	461	24	%	$	406	24	%

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and increased $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 .

The provision for title claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title and title-related claims and escrow losses. The estimate of anticipated title and title-related claims is accrued as a percentage of title premium revenue based on our historical loss experience and other relevant factors. Any significant adjustments to strengthen or release loss reserves resulting from the comparison with our actuarial analysis are made in addition to this loss provision rate. After considering historical claim losses, reporting patterns and current market information, and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data provided by our legal, claims and underwriting departments, we determine a loss provision rate, which is recorded as a percentage of current title premiums. This loss provision rate is set to provide for losses on current year policies, but due to development of prior years and our long claim duration, it periodically includes amounts of estimated adverse or positive development on prior years' policies. Effective July 1, 2015, we revised our loss provision rate to 5.5% from 6% primarily due to favorable development on more recent policy year claims.

The claim loss provision for title insurance was $70 million and $65 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and reflects an average provision rate of 5.5% of title premiums. The claim loss provision for title insurance was $190 million and $185 million for the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and reflects an average provision rate of 5.5% and 5.8% of title premiums in the 2016 and 2015 periods, respectively. We continually monitor and evaluate our loss provision level, actual claims paid, and the loss reserve position each quarter.

Total revenues for our Black Knight segment increased $33 million , or 14% , in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased $77 million , or 11% , in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the three and nine-month periods was primarily driven by higher average loan volumes on its' mortgage servicing platform, price increases and new client wins related to its servicing technology as well as the implementation of new clients, higher transaction volumes, and the acquisition of eLynx in its origination technology segment. The revenue increase in the three-month period was also driven by acquisitions, new client wins, and higher transaction volumes in its data and analytics business.

Personnel costs increased by $13 million, or 14%, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased by $5 million, or 2%, in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the three and nine-month periods was primarily driven by the acquisition of eLynx and by higher compensation and employee-related costs as they expanded certain corporate functions in 2016 to support continued growth. The increase in the nine-month period was offset by lower personnel costs in its servicing technology business.

Other operating expenses increased by $12 million, or 29%, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased by $30 million, or 25%, in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the three-month period was primarily driven by expenses attributable to eLynx and other acquisitions as well as lower capitalized software development costs in its data and analytics business. The increase in the nine-month period was primarily driven by the addition of eLynx and other acquisitions, lower capitalized software development and deferred implementation costs, and public company costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $9 million, or 19%, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased by $11 million, or 8%, in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase was primarily driven by increased amortization of deferred contract costs relating to client implementations, including accelerated amortization of $3 million related to certain deferred implementation costs, and amortization from new software development. The increase in the nine-month period was offset by lower amortization of customer relationship assets.

Interest expense remained flat in the three-month period and increased by $13 million, or 37%, in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the nine-month period is attributable to new third party debt issued in connection with Black Knight's initial public offering in May 2015, offset slightly by decreased interest on its outstanding public debt resulting from paydowns of principal in May 2015 .

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $1 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 and increased by $18 million in the nine -month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods in 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased revenue, offset by increased personnel costs, other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense, discussed above.

FNF Group Corporate and Other

The FNF Group Corporate and Other segment consists of the operations of the parent holding company, certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses, and other smaller real estate and insurance related operations.

Table of Contents

The FNF Group Corporate and Other segment generated revenues of $66 million and $51 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $152 million and $126 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The revenue in all periods represents revenue generated by our real estate brokerage subsidiaries and other real estate related companies offset by the elimination of revenues between our Black Knight segment and our Title segment. The increase of $15 million , or 29% , in the three-month period and the increase of $26 million , or 21% , in the nine -month period are primarily attributable to the acquisition of CINC and to revenue growth and acquisitions by Pacific Union, a luxury real estate broker based in California in which we have a 66% ownership interest.

Other operating expenses in the FNF Group Corporate and Other segment were $57 million and $47 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $146 million and $122 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Both periods reflect expenses at our real estate brokerage subsidiaries and other real estate related companies offset by the elimination of management fees and other intercompany fees between our Black Knight segment and our Title segment. The increase of $10 million , or 21% , and the increase of $24 million , or 20% , in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are primarily attributable to the acquisition of CINC and growth of Pacific Union.

Interest expense was $15 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and $46 million and $56 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The decrease in the nine-month period is attributable to the repayment of the $1.1 billion FNF term loan in late May 2015.

This segment generated pretax losses of $26 million and $24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $91 million and $86 million , for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The increased loss in the nine-month period was primarily attributable to realized losses related to investment impairments, increased personnel costs associated with acquisitions, and the increased operating expenses, offset by the increase in revenue and decrease in interest expense discussed above.

Restaurant Group

Total revenues for the Restaurant group segment decreased $66 million , or 20% , in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and decreased $219 million , or 20% , in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , from the corresponding periods in 2015 . The decrease is primarily attributable to the spin-off of J. Alexander's in September 2015 and the sale of the Max & Erma's concept in January 2016.

Cost of restaurant revenue decreased by $65 million, or 22%, in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and decreased $194 million, or 21% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , from the corresponding periods in 2015 . The change is consistent with the change in revenue.

(Loss) earnings from continuing operations before income taxes increased by $9 million , or 69%, in the three months ended September 30, 2016 , and decreased by $2 million , or 50%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the corresponding periods in 2015 . The increase in the three-month period is primarily attributable to realized losses in the 2015 period related to the sale of Max & Erma's concept which did not recur in the 2016 period. The decrease in the nine-month period is primarily

Table of Contents

attributable to the results of J. Alexander's which are not included in the 2016 periods, offset by the aforementioned realized losses in the 2015 period.

FNFV Corporate and Other

The FNFV Corporate and Other segment includes our share in the operations of certain equity investments, including Ceridian, Digital Insurance, and other smaller operations which are not title-related. This segment also includes our Investment Success Incentive Program ("ISIP") which is tied to monetization or liquidity events producing realized or realizable economic gains relating to our investments.

The FNFV Corporate and Other segment generated revenues of $47 million and $31 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $142 million and $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The increase of $16 million, or 52%, in the three-month period is primarily attributable to increased revenue resulting from acquisitions and growth at Digital Insurance and to revenue associated with smaller FNFV acquisitions in the current year. The decrease of $32 million, or 18%, in the nine-month period is primarily attributable to the sale of Cascade Timberlands in the first quarter of 2015, offset by increased revenue resulting from acquisitions and growth at Digital Insurance and $15 million of realized gains associated with the sale of Stillwater Insurance Group, our specialty insurance business, in the second quarter of 2016.

Other operating expenses were $12 million and $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $30 million and $92 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase of $6 million in the three-month period is primarily attributable to acquisitions and growth at Digital Insurance and to expense associated with smaller FNFV acquisitions in the current year. The decrease of $62 million in the nine-month period is primarily attributable to the sale of Cascade Timberlands in the first quarter of 2015.

Personnel costs were $29 million and $22 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively and $80 million and $65 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The change in both periods is primarily attributable to acquisitions and growth at Digital Insurance and to costs with associated smaller FNFV acquisitions in the current year.

This segment generated pretax earnings (losses) of $0 million and $(3) million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively and $14 million and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The change in earnings is attributable to the aforementioned changes in earnings and expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, claim payments, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, stock repurchases and dividends on our common stock. We paid dividends of $0.21 per share for the third quarter of 2016 , or approximately $57 million to our FNF Group common shareholders. On November 2, 2016 , our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $ 0.25 per share, payable on December 30, 2016 , to FNF Group common shareholders of record as of December 16, 2016 . There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as described below. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Additional uses of cash flow are expected to include acquisitions, stock repurchases and debt repayments.

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

Our insurance subsidiaries generate cash from premiums earned and their respective investment portfolios, and these funds are adequate to satisfy the payments of claims and other liabilities. Due to the magnitude of our investment portfolio in relation to our title claim loss reserves, we do not specifically match durations of our investments to the cash outflows required to pay claims, but do manage outflows on a shorter time frame.

Our two significant sources of internally generated funds are dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we receive cash from our subsidiaries in the form of dividends and as reimbursement for operating and other administrative expenses we incur. The reimbursements are paid within the guidelines of management agreements among us and our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries are restricted by state regulation in their ability to pay dividends and make distributions. Each applicable state of domicile regulates the extent to which our title underwriters can pay dividends or make other distributions. As of December 31, 2015 , $2,049 million of our net assets were restricted from dividend payments without prior approval from the

relevant departments of insurance. As of September 30, 2016 , our title subsidiaries have no remaining capacity to make ordinary distributions in 2016. However, we anticipate that our title insurance subsidiaries will pay or make extraordinary dividends in the remainder of 2016 of approximately $114 million by obtaining prior approval from the relevant departments of insurance. Our underwritten title companies and non-insurance subsidiaries collect revenue and pay operating expenses. However, they are not regulated to the same extent as our insurance subsidiaries.

The maximum dividend permitted by law is not necessarily indicative of an insurer’s actual ability to pay dividends, which may be constrained by business and regulatory considerations, such as the impact of dividends on surplus, which could affect an insurer’s ratings or competitive position, the amount of premiums that can be written and the ability to pay future dividends. Further, depending on business and regulatory conditions, we may in the future need to retain cash in our underwriters or even contribute cash to one or more of them in order to maintain their ratings or their statutory capital position. Such a requirement could be the result of investment losses, reserve charges, adverse operating conditions in the current economic environment or changes in statutory accounting requirements by regulators.

Cash flow from FNF Group's operations will be used for general corporate purposes including to reinvest in core operations, repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase stock, pursue other strategic initiatives and/or conserve cash.

Our cash flows provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $ 745 million and $ 673 million , respectively. The increase of $ 72 million is primarily attributable to increased net earnings and a reduction in claims paid offset by increased payments for taxes in the 2016 period.

Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and capitalized software were $240 million and $172 million for the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, with the increase primarily related to the purchase of our corporate headquarters in April 2016.

Financing. For a description of our financing arrangements see Note E included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I.

Seasonality. H istorically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue fluctuations in the real estate industry including title insurers. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The third calendar quarter is typically the strongest quarter in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of home sales in the summer months. The fourth quarter is typically also strong due to the desire of commercial entities to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short-term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates and the implementation and subsequent expiration of government programs designed to stimulate the real estate market. In 2015 and into 2016, we saw seasonality trends return closer to historical patterns. During 2015, we experienced a moderate increase in existing home sales and a decline in total housing inventory. The trend has continued through the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

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

Contractual Obligations. There have been no significant changes to our long-term contractual obligations since our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on February 23, 2016, other than as described below.

On April 29, 2016, pursuant to the terms of a certain “synthetic lease” agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004, as amended on June 27, 2011, and further described below, we exercised our option to purchase the land and various real property improvements associated with our corporate campus and headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida from SunTrust Bank for $71 million .

On January 20, 2016, Black Knight entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge forecasted monthly interest rate payments on a total of $400 million of floating rate debt ($200 million notional value each) (the “Swap Agreements”). The Swap Agreements have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Under the terms of the Swap Agreements, Black Knight receives payments based on the 1-month LIBOR rate and pays a weighted average fixed rate of 1.01%. The effective term for the Swap Agreements is February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2019.

See Note E to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our notes payable.

Capital Stock Transactions . On October 28, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a three-year stock purchase program, effective November 6, 2014, under which we could repurchase up to 10 million shares of our FNFV Group common stock through November 30, 2017. We exhausted all available repurchases under this program during February 2016. On February 18, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a new FNFV Group three-year stock repurchase program, effective March 1, 2016, under which we may repurchase up to 15 million shares of FNFV Group common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time by us in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions through February 28, 2019. We repurchased 5,431,518 shares under these programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 for $76 million, or an average of $10.88

per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 through market close on October 31, 2016, we purchased 30,000 additional shares for less than $1 million, or an average of $12.55 per share. Since the original commencement of the program effective March 1, 2016 through market close on October 31, 2016, we have repurchased a total of 3,765,000 shares for $43 million, or an average of $11.35 per share, and there are 11,235,000 shares available to be repurchased under this program.

On July 20, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a new three-year stock repurchase program under which we can purchase up to 25 million of our FNF Group common stock through July 30, 2018. We may make repurchases from time to time in the open market, in block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. We repurchased 5,464,000 shares of FNF Group common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 for $188 million, or an average of $34.32 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 through market close on October 31, 2016, we purchased 75,000 additional shares for $3 million, or an average of $36.78 per share. Since the original commencement of this program through market close on October 31, 2016, we have repurchased a total of 10,114,000 shares of FNF Group common stock for $356 million, or an average of $35.20 per share, and there are 14,886,000 shares available to be repurchased under the program.

Equity Security and Preferred Stock Investments. Our equity security and preferred stock investments may be subject to significant volatility. Should the fair value of these investments fall below our cost basis and/or the financial condition or prospects of these companies deteriorate, we may determine in a future period that this decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, requiring that an impairment loss be recognized in the period such a determination is made.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are not currently engaged in off-balance sheet activities. Through April 2016, we had an off-balance sheet facility leasing arrangement (commonly referred to as a “synthetic lease”) for our corporate campus in Jacksonville, Florida. The material terms of the synthetic lease are set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015. On April 29, 2016, we exercised our option to purchase the property, at which time the lease previously associated with the property was terminated.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 .

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, 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 such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
