Title Segment delivered strong operating performance despite dynamic environment: For the Title Segment, total revenue was $1.8 billion for the first quarter, compared to $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2024. Total revenue, excluding recognized gains and losses, was $1.8 billion for the first quarter, a 12% increase over the first quarter of 2024. Our industry leading adjusted pre-tax title margin was 11.7% for the first quarter F&G Segment assets under management growth was driven by continued strong indexed annuity sales: F&G achieved assets under management before flow reinsurance of $67.4 billion at the end of the first quarter, an increase of 16% over the first quarter of 2024. F&G's gross sales were $2.9 billion and net sales were $2.2 billion for the first quarter FNF participation in F&G common equity raise supported by strong balance sheet: FNF purchased 4.5 million shares of 8.0 million total shares in F&G's common equity offering in March; FNF's majority ownership stake in F&G is approximately 82% as of March 31, 2025 Share repurchase relaunch and sustainable common dividend backed by stable cash generation: FNF has repurchased 390,000 shares for a total of $25 million, at an average price of $63.42 per share, in the latter part of the first quarter and paid common dividends of $0.50 per share for $136 million.

Story Continues

William P. Foley, II, Chairman, commented, "Our business continued to perform well through the first quarter highlighted by industry leading margins from our Title segment and assets under management from F&G. Our Title business has successfully navigated the downturn in the housing market and is delivering impressive profitability and cash flows, both of which are poised to further expand as interest rates normalize. Given our confidence in F&G's continued growth and our desire to maintain FNF's ownership stake above 80%, we made the decision to participate in F&G's March capital raise by investing $150 million. This capital will position F&G to take advantage of the many opportunities that lie ahead to further grow their business and expand returns while also improving the liquidity in their shares. We also returned capital to FNF's shareholders having restarted the Company's share repurchase program late in the first quarter while also paying our quarterly cash dividend."

Segment Financial Results

Title Segment This segment consists of the operations of the Company's title insurance underwriters and related businesses, which provide core title insurance and escrow and other title-related services including loan sub-servicing, valuations, default services, and home warranty.

Mike Nolan, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The year is off to a strong start as we delivered an adjusted pre-tax Title margin of 11.7%, an increase of 100 basis points as compared to the 10.7% margin that we achieved in the year ago first quarter. Our improved margin is a testament to our employees as well as the operational efficiencies that we have achieved over the last few decades through investments in technology. Our investments are enabling us to deliver margins above prior market troughs and, we believe, will likewise deliver higher margins at the peak of the next cycle. We also continue to generate strong free cash flows during this period of low transactional volume. This enables us to have a dynamic capital allocation strategy focused on returning capital to shareholders through our dividend and share repurchases while also investing in our business through ongoing technology and growth investments as we position our Title business for the long term."

F&G Segment This segment consists of operations of FNF's majority-owned subsidiary F&G, a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and funding agreement and pension risk transfer institutional clients.

Chris Blunt, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Despite some near-term headwinds, F&G's solid foundation is underpinned by a conservatively positioned investment portfolio and the ability to optimize our capital allocation to secure the highest returning business, which positions us to succeed in an uncertain economy. We achieved AUM before flow reinsurance of $67.4 billion, an increase of 16% from the year ago first quarter, driven by strong indexed annuity sales. Additionally, our equity offering in March provides us with the flexibility to take advantage of both opportunities to further grow the business given the strong secular tailwinds that exist as well as providing additional capital should the environment turn increasingly challenging.  Overall, the credit quality of our portfolio remains high with 96% of our fixed maturities being investment grade combined with credit related impairments remaining well below our pricing assumptions over the past five years and current quarter. We remain confident that we will deliver on our medium-term Investor Day targets, to grow AUM and expand returns, in the coming years."

First Quarter 2025

AUM before flow reinsurance of $67.4 billion at the end of the first quarter increased 16% over the first quarter of 2024.  This included AUM of $54.5 billion, an increase of 9% over the first quarter of 2024 driven by retained new business flows Profitable gross sales were $2.9 billion for the first quarter, a decrease of 17% from the first quarter of 2024; this reflects our decision to allocate capital to the highest returning business, specifically indexed annuity sales and pension risk transfer sales, resulting in a reduction in MYGA sales Retail channel sales were $2.1 billion for the first quarter, a decrease of 25% from the first quarter of 2024; this reflects our decision to allocate capital to indexed annuity sales given the ongoing favorable economic conditions and strong demand for retirement savings products, resulting in a reduction in MYGA sales.  Strong indexed annuity sales were $1.5 billion and indexed universal life sales were $43 million in the first quarter, both in line with the first quarter of 2024 Institutional market sales were $0.8 billion for the first quarter, an increase of 14% over $0.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024; driven by higher funding agreements, partially offset by lower pension risk transfer as compared to the prior year which was a first quarter record Stable net sales of $2.2 billion for the first quarter, compared to $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024 Net loss attributable to common shareholders for F&G Segment of $18 million for the first quarter due to unfavorable mark-to-market movement, compared to net earnings of $98 million for the first quarter of 2024 which included favorable mark-to-market movement Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders for F&G Segment of $80 million for the first quarter, compared to $95 million for the first quarter of 2024

F&G Segment adjusted net earnings of $80 million for the first quarter of 2025 include $13 million of income from a reinsurance true-up adjustment.  Investment income from alternative investments was $52 million below management's long-term expected return of approximately 10% F&G Segment adjusted net earnings of $95 million for the first quarter of 2024 included $2 million of other income items.  Investment income from alternative investments was $44 million below management's long-term expected return of approximately 10% As compared to the prior year quarter, adjusted net earnings reflect margin compression due to near-term headwinds, lower owned distribution margin and higher interest expense in line with our capital market activity; partially offset by asset growth, higher income from accretive flow reinsurance fees and disciplined expense management, as well as the above alternatives investments short-term mark-to-market movement and significant income items Please see "Segment Financial Results" for F&G under "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" for further explanation

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, this earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax title earnings, adjusted pre-tax title earnings as a percentage of adjusted title revenue (adjusted pre-tax title margin), adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings), assets under management (AUM), average assets under management (AAUM) and sales.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods.  Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate such non-GAAP measures in the same manner as we do.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.  By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, FNF believes it offers investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which the Company's management operates the Company.

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, net earnings attributable to common shareholders, net earnings per share, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

DEFINITIONS

The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by the Company.

Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders

Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance each period. Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders to eliminate:

i. Recognized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses, recognized in operations; and the effects of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative and other derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forwards;
ii. Market related liability adjustments: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost; the impact of initial pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses, including amortization from previously deferred pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses; and the changes in the fair value of market risk benefits by deferring current period changes and amortizing that amount over the life of the market risk benefit; 
iii. Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of distribution asset and the change in fair value of liabilities recognized as a result of acquisition activities); 
iv. Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items; 
v. Certain income tax adjustments: the impacts related to unusual tax items that do not reflect our core operating performance such as the establishment or reversal of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances in our Title and Corporate and Other segments;
vi. Other and "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual items": Other adjustments include removing any charges associated with U.S. guaranty fund assessments as these charges neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance, but result from external situations not controlled by the Company. Further, Management excludes certain items determined to be "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual" from adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is determined these expenses are not a reflection of the core business and when the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years and/or there was not a similar item in the preceding two years;
vii. Non-controlling interest on non-GAAP adjustments: the portion of the non-GAAP adjustments attributable to the equity interest of entities that FNF does not wholly own; and
viii. Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above-mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction

While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of FNF, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations. Adjusted net earnings should not be used as a substitute for net earnings (loss). However, we believe the adjustments made to net earnings (loss) in order to derive adjusted net earnings provide an understanding of our overall results of operations.

Assets Under Management (AUM)

AUM is comprised of the following components and is reported net of reinsurance assets ceded in accordance with GAAP:

i. total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, owned distribution and derivatives; 
ii. investments in unconsolidated affiliates at carrying value;
iii. related party loans and investments;
iv. accrued investment income;
v. the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments; and
vi. cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the end of the period.

Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio that is retained.

AUM before Flow Reinsurance

AUM before Flow Reinsurance is comprised of components consistent with AUM, but also includes flow reinsured assets.

Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio including reinsured assets.

Average Assets Under Management (AAUM)

AAUM is calculated as AUM at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one.

Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on retained assets.

Sales

Annuity, IUL, funding agreement and non-life contingent PRT sales are not derived from any specific GAAP income statement accounts or line items and should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Sales from these products are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e., contractholder funds) within the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Life contingent PRT sales are recorded as premiums in revenues within the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that presentation of sales, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of our business and helps depict longer term trends that may not be apparent in the results of operations due to the timing of sales and revenue recognition.Cision
