Jacksonville, Fla. -- (April 26, 2006) -- Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (NYSE: FNT), the nation's largest title insurance company and a majority-owned, publicly-traded subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF), today reported operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006.

"This quarter was a successful beginning to our first full year as a publicly traded company," said Chief Executive Officer Raymond R. Quirk. "We experienced a normal seasonal slow start to the year in January and built momentum in open orders per day in both February and March. Our earnings for the month of March were significantly larger than our combined earnings for the months of January and February and the increasing trend in open order volumes throughout the first quarter provides momentum as we enter the second quarter. This increasing open order volume and our continued focus on controlling costs and managing the optimal size of each of our operations will allow us to generate higher margins and earnings in the second quarter."
