Company Highlights

• Title Segment revenue was strong with an industry leading margin despite dynamic environment: Total Title Segment revenue was $2.2 billion for the second quarter, a 15% increase over $1.9 billion for the second quarter of 2024. Total revenue, excluding recognized gains and losses, was $2.2 billion for the second quarter, an 8% increase over $2.0 billion for the second quarter of 2024. Our industry leading adjusted pre-tax title margin was 15.5% for the second quarter and reflected 60 basis points, or $12 million, of elevated health claims, as well as higher investments in security, technology and recruiting to position the business for long-term growth
• F&G Segment assets under management growth was driven by continued strong annuity sales: F&G achieved record assets under management before flow reinsurance of $69.2 billion at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 13% over the second quarter of 2024. F&G's gross sales were $4.1 billion, one of the best sales quarters in the company's history, and net sales were $2.7 billion for the second quarter
• Dynamic capital allocation strategy backed by stable cash generation supports shareholder value: FNF has repurchased 2.9 million shares for $159 million, at an average price of $55.20 per share, in the second quarter and paid common dividends of $0.50 per share for $135 million. FNF ended the quarter with $583 million in cash and short-term liquid investments at the holding company

William P. Foley, II, Chairman, commented, "Our business continued to perform well through the second quarter highlighted by an industry leading pre-tax Title margin and strong adjusted net earnings from our Title segment, as the housing market continues to face elevated mortgage interest rates and record home prices.  F&G has achieved record assets under management before flow reinsurance of $69.2 billion, up 13% over the second quarter of 2024, and remains an important contributor to our consolidated results."

Mr. Foley continued, "While the residential housing market remains muted, FNF continues to generate a healthy level of free cash flow which positioned us to accelerate our buyback, having repurchased 2.9 million shares for $159 million in the second quarter in addition to paying $135 million in dividends. Year-to-date, we have returned over $450 million through common dividends and share repurchases."

Summary Financial Results

Segment Financial Results

Title Segment
This segment consists of the operations of the Company's title insurance underwriters and related businesses, which provide core title insurance and escrow and other title-related services including loan sub-servicing, valuations, default services, and home warranty.

Mike Nolan, Chief Executive Officer, added, "In the second quarter, we delivered another industry leading pre-tax Title margin while generating strong cash flows that we have used to reinvest in the business and return to our shareholders.  The second quarter results were impacted by elevated health claims and higher investments in security, technology and recruiting to position the business for long-term growth.  Our direct title and agency title businesses performed well having generated healthy incremental margins. Additionally, our commercial volumes continue to be strong with our national and local revenues both rising by more than 22% as compared to the year ago second quarter.  Our Title business remains well positioned for an eventual rebound in the residential housing market and our management team continues to work to drive efficiencies across our operations with the goal of further expanding our profitability."

F&G Segment
This segment consists of operations of FNF's majority-owned subsidiary F&G, a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and funding agreement and pension risk transfer institutional clients.

Chris Blunt, F&G's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We grew AUM before flow reinsurance to $69.2 billion at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 13% from second quarter 2024, driven by strong sales.  Our standalone business is benefiting from increased scale, as our ratio of operating expense to AUM before flow reinsurance has decreased by 5 basis points from the second quarter of 2024, and we expect further improvement in the second half of the year.  Our high quality investment portfolio is performing well and credit related impairments remain below our pricing assumption. Overall, we have had tremendous growth since FNF acquired F&G in June 2020, with a cumulative 58% increase in book value per share excluding AOCI since year-end 2020, to $43.39 at the end of the second quarter."  

Mr. Blunt continued, "F&G benefits from both spread-based and fee-based earnings, including our flow reinsurance, middle market life insurance and owned distribution strategies which leverage our position as one of the industry's largest distributors of annuities and life insurance.  We remain confident that we will deliver on our medium-term Investor Day targets as we move further toward a more fee-based, higher margin and less capital intensive business model."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax title earnings, adjusted pre-tax title earnings as a percentage of adjusted title revenue (adjusted pre-tax title margin), adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings), assets under management (AUM), average assets under management (AAUM) and sales. 

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods.  Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate such non-GAAP measures in the same manner as we do.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.  By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, FNF believes it offers investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which the Company's management operates the Company.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings, net earnings attributable to common shareholders, net earnings per share, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
