     “2007 turned out to be a very challenging year for some of our businesses and yet, a positive year for others,” said Chairman of the Board William P. Foley, II. “On the challenging side, our title insurance business clearly faced the most adversity, but we remained true to our operating strategy and continued to focus on operating metrics in our efforts to maximize the profitability of our title insurance operations. While we aspire to produce higher pre-tax margins than we achieved in the second half of the year, those results were commendable given the extremely challenging macroeconomic environment and still make FNF the clear leader in profitability in the title insurance industry. We did find it necessary to strengthen our reserve for claim losses as we continued to experience adverse loss development in the fourth quarter, particularly for policy years 2005-2007, as the expected ultimate loss ratio for those policy years worsened to approximately 7.5% during the fourth quarter.”
     “The specialty insurance business achieved solid results as the consistent streams of revenue and earnings from the flood insurance operation were offset by higher losses in the homeowners’ business, primarily due to the southern California wildfires. Despite these loss difficulties, the homeowners’ operation remained profitable throughout 2007 and the entire specialty insurance operation generated greater than a 13% pre-tax margin.”
     “Our two minority-owned investments benefited from the long-term, contractual nature of their revenue streams from outside of the mortgage and real estate industries. Sedgwick grew to a more than $660 million annual revenue business, the largest third party administrator in the country, with annual revenue growth of 34%, annual organic revenue growth of 8%, solid EBITDA margins of approximately 15% and client retention rates of greater than 98%. Additionally, we closed our minority investment in Ceridian in November and we are excited

 


 

about the implementation of a four point cost reduction plan. The successful execution of this cost reduction plan will lead to material margin improvement and we look forward to Ceridian capitalizing on that opportunity during 2008. While we experienced some difficult operating environments in 2007, we are excited about the long-term prospects of all of our businesses and remain committed to our underlying goal of continually maximizing the value of all of the assets of FNF for the ultimate benefit of our shareholders.”
