  • Revenue of $242 million, led by Servicing Technology revenue of approximately $184 million
  • Pre-tax earnings of $29 million, a $12 million, or 29% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2016
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $119 million, a $5 million, or 4%, increase compared to the second quarter of 2016 and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 47.9%, a 270 basis point increase from the second quarter of 2016

"The second quarter was another strong performance for our title insurance business," said Chairman William P. Foley, II.  "We generated adjusted pre-tax title earnings of $310 million, a $10 million increase over a very strong 2016 second quarter and the largest amount of quarterly adjusted pre-tax title earnings since 2003.  We also produced a 16.2% adjusted pre-tax title margin and our distributed title operations, which exclude ServiceLink, generated a 17.0% adjusted pre-tax title margin, equal to the second quarter of 2016.  The residential purchase and commercial markets continued to drive our performance in the second quarter, as residential open and closed purchase orders increased 6% and 9%, respectively, in the quarter and total commercial revenue grew by 7% versus the second quarter of 2016.  We look forward to continued strong, industry-leading performance from our title insurance business.

"Black Knight continues to perform to our expectations, generating revenue of $242 million and adjusted EBITDA of $119 million, for a 47.9% adjusted EBITDA margin.  FNF's Black Knight ownership stake is currently worth approximately $3.5 billion, or approximately $12.65 per FNF share. 

"Finally, we made significant progress on the Black Knight distribution during the second quarter, with several milestones achieved.  We announced the receipt of the private letter ruling on May 10, signed the formal agreements with Black Knight on June 8, filed the preliminary Registration Statements on Forms S-4 and S-1 with the SEC on June 13 and June 21, respectively, received comments from the SEC on July 10 and filed Amendment No. 1 to Forms S-1 and S-4 with the SEC on July 18.  Once the SEC declares the Registration Statements on Forms S-1 and S-4 effective, we can mail the proxy statement/prospectus to shareholders and then have the shareholder vote, at the earliest, twenty business days after the mailing.  We still expect a late third quarter closing for the distribution."

Conference Call
We will host a call with investors and analysts to discuss second quarter 2017 FNF Group results on Thursday, July 20, 2017, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time.  A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the Events and Multimedia page of the FNF Investor Relations website at www.fnf.com.  The conference call replay will be available via webcast through the FNF Investor Relations website at www.fnf.com.  The telephone replay will be available from 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on July 20, 2017, through July 27, 2017, by dialing 800-475-6701 (USA) or 320-365-3844 (International).  The access code will be 426236.

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, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation as a percent of adjusted revenue (Adjusted EBITDA margin), adjusted pre-tax earnings from continuing operations, adjusted pre-tax earnings from continuing operations as a percentage of adjusted revenue (Adjusted pre-tax margin from continuing operations), adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS.

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. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures are provided below.

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  The risks and uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully achieve the conditions to and consummate the plans to distribute shares of Black Knight Financial Services and redeem and exchange the FNFV tracking stock with the result being an independent, publicly-traded FNFV common stock; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; 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 a main source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries.

This press release should be read in conjunction with the press release filed for the results of FNFV on this same date as well as the risks detailed in the "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information," "Risk Factors" and other sections of the Company's Form 10-Q, 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
