“The third quarter was another strong performance for our title insurance business," said Chairman William P. Foley, II. "We generated adjusted pre-tax title earnings of $287 million and a 15.3% adjusted pre-tax title margin. The residential purchase and commercial markets continued to drive our performance in the third quarter, as residential open and closed purchase orders increased 4% and 7%, respectively, in the quarter and total commercial revenue grew by 7% versus the third quarter of 2016. We look forward to continued strong, industry-leading performance from our title insurance business.

"We closed the tax-free distribution of Black Knight on September 29, as FNF shareholders received 0.3066322 shares of Black Knight common stock for each share of FNF common stock. Black Knight is now a stand-alone public company, with no FNF ownership. We also made significant progress on the FNFV exchange transaction during the quarter and have now set a shareholder vote and closing date of November 17, 2017, for the exchange of the FNFV tracking stock for Cannae Holdings common stock. Once the exchange is completed, FNF will again be eligible for potential index inclusion, including the S&P 500, and Cannae Holdings will be a legally separate public company."

We will host a call with investors and analysts to discuss third quarter 2017 FNF Group results on Thursday, October 26, 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.

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

2



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 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.

Monetization and Investment Initiatives
In October, completed the acquisition of T-System Holdings, a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities, for approximately $200 million in cash
In August, announced a definitive agreement to merge 99 Restaurant & Pub with J. Alexander Holdings, after which FNFV will directly and indirectly own approximately 16.27 million common share equivalents, or approximately 52% of the outstanding common stock of J. Alexander's

“I am pleased with the success that we achieved this quarter, as we announced two exciting transactions that we believe will create value for our shareholders," said Chairman William P. Foley, II. "The first is T-System, which is a great company with an experienced management team that operates in a very large and fragmented medical documentation and coding market, with a business model that is shifting to a majority of recurring revenue streams. We believe that the documentation business is at an inflection point with a significant near-term organic growth opportunity. We are also confident that we can assist T-System in making multiple acquisitions that can further accelerate future growth while expanding the product and services that the company offers to its customers. Longer term, we see the Healthcare IT and Services sector as an exciting area for investment and growth and see T-System as a platform to take advantage of this opportunity.

"We also announced the merger of our 99 Restaurant and Pub operations with J. Alexander’s in a stock for stock combination.
Both 99 and J. Alexander's are terrific concepts that have individually generated strong same store sales and impressive financial performance in a challenging environment for the casual dining industry. We believe this combination provides a larger, stronger, better diversified and more formidable player in the casual dining segment.

Mr. Foley concluded, "We made significant progress on the FNFV exchange transaction during the third quarter and have now set a shareholder vote and closing date of November 17, 2017, for the exchange of the FNFV tracking stock for Cannae Holdings common stock. The new Cannae Holdings common stock will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol ‘CNNE’ and it will be a legally separate, stand-alone public company."

More information about FNF and FNFV can be found at www.fnf.com.

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), and earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation as a percent of revenue (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 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 plan to redeem and exchange the FNFV tracking stock with the result being an independent, publicly-traded Cannae Holdings 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 FNF Group 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.
