"We experienced success in a number of areas during the second quarter," said Chairman William P. Foley, II. "In our title business, we generated a robust pre-tax margin of 9.6%, despite a 31% decline in closed orders versus the second quarter of 2009. Resale transactions were 54% of closed orders during the second quarter versus 34% in last year's second quarter, with this mix shift primarily causing a 28% increase in fee per file over the second quarter of 2009. As the quarter progressed, the open order mix shifted back to more refinance driven transactions. During June, we began to see the effect of lower mortgage rates, as open orders per day increased 6% sequentially over May and refinance orders represented 58% of open order activity during that final month of the quarter. Open orders continued to show strength in the first half of July, with open orders per day increasing more than 18% sequentially from June, again driven by higher refinance volumes. Lower mortgage rates and increased order activity will provide momentum as we move into the third quarter."

"We also successfully closed the sale of our 32% equity ownership stake in Sedgwick in late May, generating a pre-tax gain of approximately $98 million. The sale of Sedgwick clearly achieved our on-going goal of creating significant value for our shareholders and was the culmination of a very successful four-year investment for FNF."

"During May, we also issued $300 million of 6.60% senior notes with a May 2017 maturity. The issuance enhances our longer-term liquidity profile and continues our strategy of conservatively managing our balance sheet and liquidity position during these uncertain times. The net proceeds more than pre-fund the $165 million of debt that matures in August of 2011, extending the maturity profile of our outstanding debt and providing increased flexibility at the holding company. Debt to total capital declined to 18% at June 30, 2010."
