The expected transition from a refinance driven market to a purchase driven market accelerated in the third quarter," said Chief Executive Officer George P. Scanlon. "Despite a 15% decrease in closed orders versus the third quarter of 2012, we still generated a 14.2% adjusted pre-tax margin in the title business, a decline of only 20 basis points from the prior year, as the combination of a 23% increase in the fee per file and nearly 1,650 staffing reductions since the middle of June offset the decline in order volume. In the third quarter, our residential purchase orders opened grew by 10% versus the third quarter of 2012 and closed purchase orders increased by 15% over the prior year, as the purchase market continued to improve despite modestly higher mortgage rates. Overall, purchase orders constituted 56% of open orders and 50% of closed orders during the third quarter. Our commercial title insurance business continues to perform extremely well, generating 25% revenue growth over a strong third quarter of 2012. As we enter the normally seasonally slower fourth quarter and first quarter of 2014, we will remain focused on operating the business efficiently in order to continue to maximize the earnings from our title insurance business."

"We continue to work towards a late fourth quarter or possibly January 2014 closing for the LPS acquisition," said Chairman William P. Foley, II. "Once closed, the addition of LPS will create a larger, broader, more diversified and recurring revenue base for FNF and we look forward to creating significant value for our shareholders through this strategic acquisition."

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) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation as a percent of adjusted revenue (Adjusted EBITDA margin).

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 above.
