We are a leading global property information, analytics, and data-enabled software platforms, and services provider operating in North America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific. Our vision is to deliver unique property-level insights that power the global real estate economy. Our mission is to empower our clients to make smarter decisions through data-driven insights.

With our data as a foundation, we provide software platforms and value-added business services that address the unique needs of the mortgage, real estate, insurance, capital, markets, public sector, and rental property markets. We believe theThe quality of theour software platforms and services we offer is distinguished by our broad range of data sourcesassets and our experience in aggregating, organizing, normalizing, processing, and delivering data.data on a large-scale basis. Our databases include over 900 million historical property transactions, over 100 million mortgage applications andstructured property-specific data, covering approximatelyconsisting of over 150 million parcel records, covers 99% of the United States ("US"), includes both residential properties,and commercial real estate data and is enriched by over 1 billion historical sales, mortgage, and pre-foreclosure transactions. Our consortium data covers loan level mortgage performance, appraisal, as well as commercial locations, totaling over 150mortgage application data and is in excess of 300 million records. We are also the industry's first parcel-based geocoder and have developed a proprietary parcelspatial database covering more than 150 million parcelsparcel polygons across the US. These databases provideenable our clients withto access detailed coverage of property mortgagesinsights, current and otherhistorical mortgage data, involuntary property liens and encumbrances, property riskbuilding construction and replacement cost,costs, consumer credit, tenancy, location intelligence, hazard, and other natural risk factors as well as mortgage risk and relatedportfolio performance information.data.

We have more than one million usersend-users who rely on our data and predictive decision analytics to reduce risk, enhance transparency, and improve the performance of their businesses.

We offer our clients a comprehensive national database covering real property and mortgage information, judgments and liens, building and replacement costs, parcel and geospatial data, criminal background records, eviction information, non-prime lending records, credit information, and tax information, among other data types. Using these robust datasets, we have built strong value-added analyticsanalytical capabilities and business services to meet our clients’ needs for property tax processing, property valuation, mortgage and automotive credit reporting, tenancy screening, hazard risk, property risk and replacement cost, flood plain location determination, and other geospatial data, analytics, and related services.

In December 2018, we announced theour intent to exit a loan origination software unit and its remaining legacy default management related platforms, over the next 24 months, as well as accelerate an appraisal management company ("AMC") transformation program. We believe these actions will expand our overall profit margins and provide for enhanced long-term organic growth trends. We will assessIn September 2019, we divested our default management related platforms and may incur cash and non-cash charges associated with these actions.received proceeds of $3.8 million. The AMC

We opportunistically acquire on an opportunistic basis, companies, businesses, products, and services to grow market share in the mortgage, real estate, insurance, capital, markets, public sector, and rental property markets. We also identify opportunities that complement our strengths and/or diversifiesdiversify our exposure from the mortgage and real estate market.

We have organized our business into the following two segments: Property Intelligence & Risk Management Solutions ("PIRM") and Underwriting & Workflow Solutions ("UWS").

We believe that we hold the leading market position for many of our solutions, including:

Our UWS segment provides comprehensive mortgage origination and monitoring solutions, including underwriting-related solutions and data-enabled valuations and appraisals. We have also developed proprietary technology and software platforms to access, automate, orand track this information, andas well as assist our clients with vetting and on-boarding prospects, meeting

compliance regulations, and understanding, diagnosingevaluating, and monitoring property values. Our UWS solutions include property tax solutions, valuation solutions, credit solutions, and flood servicesdata solutions in North America.

Our property tax solutions are built from aggregated property tax information from over 20,000 taxing authorities. We use this information to advise mortgage originators and servicers of the property tax payment status of loans in their portfolio and to monitor that status over the life of the loans. If a mortgage lender requires tax payments to be impounded on behalf of its borrowers, we can also monitor and oversee the transfer of these funds to the taxing authorities and provide the lender with payment confirmation.

Our valuations solutions represent property valuation-related, data-driven services, and analytics combined with collateral valuation workflow technologies, which assist our clients in assessing risk of loss using both traditional and alternative forms of property valuation, driving process efficiencies, and ensuring compliance with lender and governmental regulations. We have been building collateral risk management models for more than 20 years and provide collateral

Our clients are predominantly financial services institutions in the mortgage and insurance industries. We provide our solutions to national and regional mortgage lenders, servicers, brokers, credit unions, commercial banks, investment banks, fixed-income investors, real estate agents, MLS companies, property management companies, real estate investment trusts, property and casualty insurance companies, government agencies, and government-sponsored enterprises.

Our more significant client relationships tend to be long-term in nature and we typically provide a number of different solutions to each client. Because of the depth of these relationships, we derive a significant portion of our aggregate revenue from our largest clients, with 31.3%29.8% of our 20182019 operating revenues being generated by our ten largest clients. None of our clients individually accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

We offer a diverse array of specialized products and services that compete directly and indirectly with similar products and services offered by national and local providers. We believe there is no single competitor who offers the same combination of products and services that we do. Therefore, we believe that we compete with a broad range of entities.

Our PIRM segment competes with entities that provide access to data or data-based analytics products and services as part of their product offerings, including Black Knight, Inc., which provides real estate information, analytics, valuation-related services, and other solutions,solutions; ATTOM Data, which provides public records data,data; FAC, which provides real estate, home ownership and property data,data; Verisk Analytics, Inc., which provides data and risk assessment in the insurance and financial services industries, as well as RealPage, Inc. and Yardi Systems, Inc., which provide services in the multifamily residential industry. We also compete with departments within financial institutions that utilize internal resources to provide similar analytics and services on a captive basis. We compete based on the breadth and quality of our data sets, the exclusive nature of some of our key data sets, the quality and effectiveness of our products, and the integration of our platforms into client systems. We believe the data we offer is distinguished by quality, the broad range of our data sources (including non-public sources), the volume of records we maintain, and our ability to provide data spanning a historical period of time that exceeds comparable data sets of most of our competitors.

Our UWS segment competes with third-party providers such as Black Knight, Inc. and Lereta LLC, which provide tax and flood services,solutions, as well as credit and screening solutions providers such as Equifax, Inc., Credit Plus, Kroll Factual Data;Data, Clear Capital, Solidifi, and ServiceLink, which provide valuation-related services. For these services, we compete largely based on

the quality of the products and services we provide, our ability to provide scalable services at competitive prices, and our ability to provide integrated platforms. We also compete with departments within financial institutions that utilize internal resources to provide similar services on a captive basis. We generally compete with captive providers based on the quality of our products and services, the scalability of our services, cost efficiencies, and our ability to provide some level of risk mitigation.

Smaller clients, measured by revenue or geographic coverage, are primarily managed through our inside sales operations function which is responsible for working with mortgage and real estate brokers, smaller property and casualty insurance companies, fixed-income investors, appraisers, real estate agents, correspondents, and other lenders.

Several of our product and service lines have sales teams and subject matter experts who specialize in specific solutions, products, and services. These sales teams and subject matter experts work collaboratively with our sales executives and our inside sales operations to assist with client sales by combining our data, products, and data-enabled services to meet the specific needs of each client and may be assigned to assist with sales in targeted markets for certain categories of clients or for particular service groups.

Historically, we have increased the scale of our existing businesses and entered new markets, products, and services through selective acquisitions that we believe strengthen our overall solution offerings and value proposition to clients. We continually evaluate our business mix and opportunistically seek to optimize our business portfolio through acquisitions and divestitures.

We own significant intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. We consider our intellectual property to be proprietary and we rely on a combination of statutory (e.g., copyright, trademark, trade secret, and patent) and contractual safeguards in an intellectual property enforcement program to protect our intellectual property rights.

We have more than 50 issued patents in the US covering business methods, software, and systems patents, principally relating to automated valuation, fraud detection, data gathering, flood detection, MLS technology, and property monitoring. We also have 18at least 19 patent applications pending in these and other areas in the US. In addition, we have a number of issued patents and pending patent applications internationally, including in Canada and Australia. The protection of our proprietary technology is important to our success and we intend to continue to protect those intellectual property assets for which we have expended substantial research and development capital and are material to our business.

In addition, we own more than 300 trademarks in the US and foreign countries, including the names of our products and services as well as our logos and tag lines, many of which are registered. Many of our trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos are material to our business, as they assist our clients in identifying our products and services and the quality that stands behind them.

We own more than 1,000 registered and unregistered copyrights in the US and foreign countries, covering computer programs, reports, and manuals. We also have other literary works, including marketing materials, handbooks, presentations, and website content that are protected under common law copyright. We believe our written materials are essential to our business as they provide our clients with insight into various areas of the financial and real estate markets in which we operate.

Our research and development activities focus primarily on the design and development of our analytical tools, software applications, and data sets. We expect to continue our practice of investing in the development of new software applications and systems in response to the market and client needs we identify through client input collected in meetings, phone calls, and web surveys. We also assess opportunities to integrate existing data sets to enhance our products' effectiveness.

In order to maintain control of our intellectual property, we enter into license agreements with our clients, granting rights to use our products and services, including our software and databases. We also audit our clients from time to time to ensure compliance with our agreements. This helps to maintain the integrity of our proprietary intellectual property and to protect the embedded information and technology contained in our solutions. As a general practice, employees, contractors, and other parties with access to our proprietary information enter into agreements that prohibit the unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary rights, information, and technology.

Information technology is a significant focus area and we maintain a long-term strategic technology plan which is reassessed annually. Our information technology initiatives are driven by internal technology staff with support from a number of external technology firms. Our existing technology infrastructure is a private, dedicated cloud-based computing environment hosted in a primary and secondary technology centers owned and managed by the NTT Data Corporation ("NTT"). Additionally, we have begun the process of modernizing a number of our legacy solutions to take full advantage of the dynamic scaling offered by the Google Cloud Platform using the Pivotal Cloud Foundry ("PCF") Platform as a Service ("PaaS") capability to ensure we maintain the flexibility to operate our products and services on any public cloud platform in the future.

We maintain an innovation development center ("IDC") to develop, enhance and expand our next generation cloud-agnostic IDC platform on which new products can be rapidly built, scaled, modified, and deployed. In addition, the IDC plays a leading role in research and development in the areas of employing hardware advancements, data and analytics, mobility, voice, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning and mobility solutions.("AI/ML"). We supplement the IDC with a number of strategic alliances, including Google and Pivotal Software, Inc.alliances.

Our private, dedicated cloud computing environment hosted by NTT is designed to enable us to deliver secure and compliant data, analytics and services to support client needs. This network of systems, combined with enterprise-level service operations, positions us as a leading property insights provider to the financial services market. Additionally, our platform stores, processes and delivers our data and our proprietary technologies that are the foundation of our business and critical to the development of our solutions. In conjunction with NTT and Google, we operate a computing technology environment intended to allow us to provide flexible systems at all times, enabling us to deliver increased capacity as needed or when client needs demand increased speed of delivery. Our current mainstream private, dedicated cloud computing environment hosted by NTT is designed to enable us to deliver secure and compliant data, analytics, and services to support client needs. We have also completed the development of an advanced cloud operating model that provides a fully automated, tightly controlled, and highly secured environment for the products and services we will be operating on GCP as we transition to the Google public cloud. This network of systems, combined with enterprise-level service operations, positions us as a leading property insights provider to the financial services market. Our platforms store, process, and deliver our data and proprietary technologies that are the foundation of our business and critical to the development of our solutions. Additionally, our unified network architecture allows us to operate multiple systems as a single resource capable of delivering subsets of our applications, data, and analytics as acompelling combined solutionsolutions to our clients.

We are subject to a number of US federal, state and local, and foreign laws and regulations that involve various aspects of our businesses. Failure to satisfy those legal and regulatory requirements, or the adoption of new laws or regulations, could have a significant negative impact on our ability to provide certain products and services or could result in the imposition of fines or penalties or the incurrence of damages. US federal, state and local, and foreign laws and regulations are evolving and can be subject to significant change. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the US Congress, various state legislative bodies, and foreign governments concerning consumer and data protection that could affect us. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain. These laws are enforced by regulatory agencies or other enforcement bodies in the jurisdictions where we operate and, in some instances, also through private civil litigation. Among the more significant areas of regulation for our business are the following:

Our US operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the collection, protection and use of consumer data and other information, and provide for sanctions for the misuse of such information or unauthorized access to data. The laws and regulations that affect our US operation include, but are not limited to, the following:

In addition to the foregoing areas of regulation, several of our other businesses are subject to or impacted by additional regulation, including our tenant screening business, which is subject to certain landlord-tenant laws and insurance agency laws, and our activities in foreign jurisdictions are subject to the requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and comparable foreign laws.

As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had approximately 5,8005,100 employees, of which approximately 4,9004,200 were employed in the US and 900 outside the US.

We are required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us, at http://www.sec.gov.

Our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), are also available free of charge through the "Investors" page on our Internet site at http://www.corelogic.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information on our website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part hereof or incorporated into this or any of our other filings with the SEC.

We are highly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to securely process, transmit, and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for business-to-businessWe have experienced cyber-based attacks and business-to-consumer electronic commerce. Securitysecurity breaches of thisvarying degrees to our infrastructure, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers, spoofed or manipulated electronic communications and similar breaches, canwhich have in the past, and may in the future, create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including non-public personal information and consumer data, or loss of other company assets. Unauthorized access, including through use of fraudulent schemes such as "phishing" schemes,, could jeopardize the security of information stored in our systems. In addition, malware or viruses could jeopardize the security of information stored or used in a user's computer. Insider or employee cyber and security threats are also a significant concern. Despite our physical security, implementation of technical controls and contractual precautions to identify, detect, and prevent the unauthorized access to and alteration and disclosure of our data, we cannot assure you thatprotect the systems that access our services and databases will not be compromisedfrom all compromises or disrupted,disruptions, whether as a result of criminal conduct, distributed denial of service attacks or other advanced persistent attacks by malicious actors, including hackers, nation states and criminals, breaches due to employee error or malfeasance, or other disruptions. Several highly publicized data incidents and cyberattacks have heightened consumer awareness of this issue and may embolden individuals or groups to target our systems. Cyber attackers are also developing increasingly sophisticated systems and means to not only attack systems, but also to evade detection or to obscure their activities. If we are unable to prevent,protect against, mitigate, or timely respond to suchcyber-based attacks or other security or privacy breaches, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer loss of reputation, financial loss, lawsuits, andor other regulatory imposed restrictions and penalties because of lost or misappropriated information, including sensitive consumer data.penalties.

We rely extensively upon data from a variety of external sources to maintain our proprietary and non-proprietary databases, including data from third-party suppliers, various government and public record sources and data contributed by our clients. Our data sources could cease providing or reduce the availability of their data to us, increase the price we pay for their data, or limit our use of their data for a variety of reasons, including legislatively or judicially imposedjudicially-imposed restrictions on use. If a significant supplier is no longer able or areis unwilling to provide us with certain data, or if our public record sources of data become unavailable or too expensive, we may need to find alternative sources. If we are unable to identify and contract with suitable alternative data suppliers and efficiently and effectively integrate these data sources into our service offerings, we could experience service disruptions, increased costs, and reduced quality and availability of our services. Moreover, some of our data suppliers compete with us in certain product offerings, which may make us vulnerable to unpredictable price increases from them and they may elect to stop providing data to us. Significant price increases could have a material adverse effect on our operating margins and our financial position, in particular if we are unable to arrange for substitute replacement sources of data on favorable economic terms. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain data from alternative sources if

Some of our data suppliers face similar regulatory requirements as we do and, consequently, they may cease to be able to provide data to us or may substantially increase the fees they charge us for this data, which may make it financially burdensome or impossible for us to acquire data that is necessary to offer our products and services. Many consumer advocates, privacy advocates, and government regulators believe that existing laws and regulations do not adequately protect privacy or ensure the accuracy of consumer-related data. As a result, such advocates and regulators are seeking further restrictions on the dissemination or commercial use of personal information to the public and private sectors as well as contemplating requirements relative to data accuracy and the ability of consumers to opt to have their personal data removed from databases such as ours. Any future laws, regulations, or other restrictions limiting the dissemination or use of personal information may reduce the quality and availability of the data necessary for our products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We depend on reliable, stable, efficient, and uninterrupted operation of our technology network, systems, and data centers to provide service to our clients. System interruptions may impair the delivery of our products and services, resulting in a loss of clients and a corresponding loss in revenue. Our technology infrastructure runs primarily in a private dedicated cloud-based environment hosted in NTT's technology center in Quincy, WA and we are in the process of transitioning to a cloud-based environment hosted by GCP. We cannot be sure that certain systems interruptions or events beyond our control, including issues with NTT's technology center or our third-party network and infrastructure providers, or in connection with our upgrading or replatformingchanging key systems, or the transition to the Google hosted environment,GCP, will not interrupt or terminate the delivery of our products and services to our clients. These interruptions also may interfere with our suppliers' ability to provide necessary data to us and our employees' ability to attend to work and perform their responsibilities. Any of these possible outcomes could result in a loss of clients or a loss in revenue, which could have ana material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

Public concern is high with regard to the collection, use, accuracy, correction, and sharing of personal information, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial information, and other behavioral data. In addition, many consumer advocates, privacy advocates, legislatures, and government regulators believe that existing laws and regulations do not adequately protect consumer privacy and have become increasingly concerned with the collection and use of this type of personal information. Highly publicized data incidents have resulted in significantly increased legislative and regulatory activity at the federal and state levels as lawmakers and regulators continue to propose a wide range of further restrictions on the collection, dissemination or commercial use of personal information, information security standards, data security incident disclosure standards. Because our databases include certain public and non-public personal information concerning consumers, we are

subject to government regulation and potential adverse publicity concerning our use of consumer data. We acquire, store, use, and provide many types of consumer data and related services, some of which are subject to regulation under the FCRA, the GLBA, the CCPA and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act and, to a lesser extent, various other federal, state, and local laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are designed to protect the privacy of consumers and to prevent the unauthorized access and misuse of personal information in the marketplace. The CCPA, for example, which became effective January 1, 2020, imposes new obligations on certain companies doing business in California with respect to the personal information of California residents. This includes new notice and privacy policy requirements, and new obligations to respond to requests to know and access to personal information, to delete personal information, and to say no to the sale of personal information. We expect that there will be enhanced state and/or federal regulation in the area of financial and consumer data privacy, including regulations similar to the GDPR, a data protection and privacy law in the European Union that became effective in 2018, and the CCPA. Compliance with these laws may impose significant regulatory burdens and costs on us. Further, a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies have adopted consumer notification and other requirements in the event that consumer information is accessed by unauthorized persons and additional regulations regarding the use, access, accuracy, and security of such data are possible. In the US, state laws provide for disparate notification regimes. In addition, the Presidentif our practices or products are deemed to be an invasion of the USprivacy, whether or not consistent with current or future regulations and industry practices, we may be subject to public criticism, private class actions, reputational harm, or claims by regulators, which could propose further restrictions by executive order. Asdisrupt our business and expose us to increased liability. Our failure to comply with these laws, or any future laws or regulations of a similar nature, could result ourin substantial regulatory penalties, litigation expense, and loss of revenue.

Our businesses are subject to an increasing degree of compliance oversight by regulators and by our clients. Specifically, the CFPB has authority to enact rules affecting the business of consumer reporting agencies and also to supervise, conduct examinations of, and enforce compliance with federal consumer financial protection laws and regulations with respect to certain “larger participants” that offer consumer financial products and services. Two of our credit businesses-CoreLogic Credco and Teletrack-are subject to the CFPB non-bank supervision program and the CFPB or other regulatory bodies could attempt to assert authority over other products or services. The CFPB and the prudential financial institution regulators such as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) also have the authority to examine us in our role as a service provider for certain services, including for tax services, to large financial institutions. In addition, several of our largest bank clients are subject to consent orders with the OCC and/or are parties to the National Mortgage Settlement, both of which require them to exercise greater oversight and perform more rigorous audits of their key vendors such as us. The CFPB may pursue administrative proceedings or litigation to enforce the laws and rules subject to its jurisdiction. In these proceedings the CFPB can obtain cease and desist orders, which can include orders for restitution to consumers or rescission of contracts, as well as other types

These laws and regulations (asas well as laws and regulations in the various states or in other countries)countries could limit our ability to pursue business opportunities we might otherwise consider engaging in, impose additional costs or restrictions on us, result in significant loss of revenue, impact the value of assets we hold, or otherwise significantly adversely affect our business. Any failure by us to comply with applicable laws or regulations could also result in significant liability to us, including liability to private plaintiffs as a result of individual or class action litigation, or may result in the cessation of our operations or portions of our operations or impositions of fines and restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations. Our operations could also be negatively affected by changes to laws and regulations and enhanced regulatory oversight of our clients and us. These changes may compel us to change our prices, may restrict our ability to implement price increases, and may limit the manner in which we conduct our business or otherwise may have a negative impact on our ability to generate revenues, earnings, and cash flows. If we are unable to adapt our products and services to conform to the new laws and regulations, or if these laws and regulations have a negative impact on our clients, we may experience client losses or increased operating costs, and our business and results of operations could be negatively affected.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from solutions we provide to the mortgage, consumer lending, and real estate industries and, as a result, a weak economy or housing market or adverse changes in the interest rate environment may adversely affect our business. A large portion of our client base suffers when financial markets experience volatility, illiquidity, and disruption, which has occurred in the past and which could reoccur, and any future disruptions of the potential for increased and continuing disruptions going forward,financial markets presents considerable risks to our business and revenue. The volume of mortgage origination and residential real estate transactions is highly variable. Reductions in these transaction volumes have had, and will continue to have, a direct impact on certain portions of our revenues and may materially adversely affect our business. Negative economic conditions and/or increasing interest rate environments has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in volumes, pricing, and operating margins for our services. For example, we believe mortgage unit volumes decreased by greater than 15% in 2018 relative to 2017, primarily due to significantly lower mortgage refinance volumes resulting from rising interest rates and other factors which are unfavorably impacting mortgage purchase volumes. For 2019, we expect the trend in rising interest rates to continue and therefore we expect 2019 mortgage unit volumes to be approximately 5% lower relative to 2018 levels, mostly due to lower expected refinance activity. If our clients in the mortgage consumer lending and real estate industries experience economic hardship, in

particular if these clients go bankrupt or otherwise exit certain businesses, it may negatively impact our revenue, earnings, and liquidity.

Our ten largest clients generated approximately 31.3%29.8% of our operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, although none of our largest clients individually accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.that period. We expect that a limited number of our clients will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future, and that our concentration of revenue may continue to be significant or increase. These clients face continued pressure in the current economic and regulatory climate. Many of our relationships with these clients are long-standing and are important to our future operating results, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to retain or renew existing agreements or maintain our relationships on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, in response to increased regulatory

The markets for our products and services are intensely competitive. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the services they offer. We compete for existing and new clients against both third parties and the in-house capabilities of our clients. Many of our competitors have substantial resources. Some have widely-used technology platforms that they seek to use as a competitive advantage to drive sales of other products and services. In addition, we expect that the markets in which we compete will continue to attract new competitors and new technologies. These competitors and new technologies may be disruptive to our existing technology or service offerings, resulting in operating inefficiencies and increased competitive pressure. In order to compete with current and future technologies, we must continuously improve our network operating systems, programming tools, programming languages, operating systems, data matching, data filtering, and other database technologies. These improvements, as well as changes in client preferences or regulatory requirements, may require changes in the technology used to gather and process our data and deliver our services. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to internally develop and implement new and competitive technologies, respond to changing client needs and regulatory requirements, and transition clients and data sources successfully to new interfaces or other technologies.

In addition, many of our products and services compete within markets characterized by frequent new product and service introductions and changing industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products and services, our products and services could become commercially obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. The success of our new products and services will depend on several factors, including our ability to properly identify client needs; innovate and develop new technologies, services, and applications; successfully commercialize new products and services in a timely manner; produce and deliver our products in sufficient volumes on time; differentiate our offerings from competitor offerings; price our products competitively, including taking into account changes in sales and use tax laws; and anticipate our competitors’ development of new products, services, or technological innovations; and control product quality in our product development process. This product development effort requires the investment of a substantial amount of capital prior to market adoption.innovations.

We cannot provide assurance that there will be market demand for our future product offerings or that we will successfully implement new technologies, cause clients or data furnishers to implement compatible technologies or adapt our technology to evolving client, regulatory and competitive requirement.requirements. We also cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively allocate capital to new product development to create competitive products, as compared to our peers and new market entrants. Failure to launch new and differentiated products will have an adverse effect on our growth and our business. If we fail to respond, or fail to cause our clients or data furnishers to respond, to changes in technology, regulatory requirements or client preferences, the demand for our services, the delivery of our services or our market reputation could be adversely affected.

Certain outsource arrangements contemplate the utilization of lower-cost labor outside the US in countries such as India, Poland, Ukraine, Mexico, and the Philippines. It is likelypossible that the countries where our outsourcing vendors are located may be subject to higher degrees of political and social instability than the US and may lack the infrastructure to withstand political unrest or natural disasters. These countries may also have reduced protection for intellectual property rights, including trade secrets. Such disruptions could impact our ability to deliver our products and services on a timely basis, if at all, and to a lesser extent could decrease efficiency and increase our costs. Fluctuations of the US dollar in relation to the currencies used and higher inflation rates experienced in these countries may also reduce the savings we planned to achieve. Furthermore, the practice of utilizing labor based in foreign countries has come under increased scrutiny in the US and, as a result, many of our clients may require us to use labor based in the USUS. We may not be able to pass on the increased costs of higher-priced US-based labor to our clients, which ultimately could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

In addition, the US or the foreign countries in which we have service provider arrangements or operate could adopt new legislation or regulations that would adversely affect our business by making it difficult, more costly or impossible for us to continue our foreign activities as currently being conducted. Furthermore, in many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the FCPA. Any violations of the FCPA or local anti-corruption laws by us, our subsidiaries or our local agents could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation and result in substantial financial penalties or other sanctions.

We may have difficulty integrating our completed or any future acquisitions into our operations, including implementing controls, procedures, and policies. If we fail to properly integrate acquired businesses, products, technologies, and personnel, it could impair relationships with employees, clients and strategic partners, distract management attention from our core businesses, result in control failures and otherwise disrupt our ongoing business and harm our results of operations. We also may not be able to retain key management and other critical employees after an acquisition. Although part of our business strategy may include growth through strategic acquisitions, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, obtain the capital necessary to pursue acquisitions or complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms in the future.

In addition, we have substantial investments in recorded goodwill as a result of prior acquisitions, and an impairment of these investments couldwould require a write-down that would reduce our net income. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually or sooner if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Factors that could lead to impairment of goodwill include significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, a significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization and negative industry or economic trends. In the event that the book value of goodwill is impaired, any such impairment would be charged against earnings in the period of impairment. Possible future impairment of goodwill may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In 2018,2019, we derived approximately 9%10% of our revenues from our operations outside of the US and we intend to continue to expand our international operations. We expect to continue to add personnel internationally to expand our abilities to deliver differentiated services to our international clients. Expansion into international markets may require significant resources and management's attention and will subject us to new regulatory, economic, and political risks. There can be no assurance that our products or services will be accepted in any particular international market and we cannot provide assurance that our international expansion efforts will be successful. The results of our operations and our growth rate could be adversely affected by a variety of factors arising out of international commerce, some of which are beyond our control, including currency rate fluctuations, foreign laws and regulatory requirements, trade protection measures, increased data privacy and consumer

protection regulations, difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations, restrictions on the import and

As we continue to develop and expand our products and services, we may become increasingly subject to infringement claims from third parties such as non-practicing entities, software providers, and suppliers of data. Likewise, if we are unable to maintain adequate controls over how third-party software and data are used, we may be subject to claims of infringement. Any claims, whether with or without merit, could:

Our success depends, in part, upon our intellectual property rights. We rely primarily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademark laws and nondisclosure and other contractual restrictions on copying, distribution and creation of derivative products to protect our proprietary technology and information. This protection is limited, and our intellectual property could be used by others without our consent. In addition, patents may not be issued with respect to our pending or future patent applications, and our patents may not be upheld as valid or may not prevent the development of competitive products. Any infringement, disclosure, loss, invalidity of, or failure to protect our intellectual property could negatively impact our competitive position, and ultimately, our business. Moreover, litigation may be necessary to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could be time-consuming, result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

As of December 31, 2018,2019, our total debt was approximately $1.8$1.7 billion and we had unused commitments of approximately $521.9$750.0 million under our Revolving Facility. Subject to the limitations contained in the Credit Agreement governing our credit facilities and our other debt instruments, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other general corporate purposes. If we do so, the risks related to our level of debt could increase. Specifically, our level of debt could have important consequences to us, including increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions and compromising our flexibility to capitalize our business opportunities and to plan for, or react to, competitive pressures and changes in our business or market conditions.

The Credit Agreement governing our credit facilities imposes operating and financial restrictions on our activities. These restrictions include the financial covenants in our credit facilities, which require ongoing compliance with certain financial tests and ratios, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio, and could limit or prohibit our ability to, among other things:

These restrictions on our ability to operate our business could negatively impact our business by, among other things, limiting our ability to take advantage of financing, merger and acquisition, or other corporate opportunities that might otherwise be

beneficial to us. Our failure to comply with these restrictions could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of substantially all our debt.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory, and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and the lenders under our credit facilities could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable and could terminate their revolving commitments to loan money and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

We rely on skilled management personnel and our success depends on our ability to attract, train, and retain a sufficient number of such individuals. If our attrition rate increases, our operating efficiency and productivity may decrease. We compete for talented individuals not only with other companies in our industry, but also with companies in other industries, such as software services, engineering services, and financial services companies, and there is a limited pool of individuals who have the skills and training needed to grow our company, especially in the increasingly-regulated environment in which we operate. Increased attrition or competition for qualified management could have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business and product offerings, as well as cause us to incur greater personnel expenses and training costs.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, by and between FAC and FAFC, dated as of June 1, 2010 we entered into in connection with the Separation transaction, we are generally responsible for taxes attributable to our business, assets and liabilities and FAFC is generally responsible for all taxes attributable to members of the FAFC group of companies and the assets, liabilities, or businesses of the FAFC group of companies. Generally, any liabilities arising from tax adjustments to consolidated tax returns for tax periods prior to and including the date of the Separation will be shared in proportion to each company's percentage of the tax liability for the relevant year (or partial year with respect to 2010), unless the adjustment is attributable to either party, in which case the adjustment will generally be for the account of such party. In addition to this potential liability associated with adjustments for prior periods, if FAFC were to fail to pay any tax liability it is required to pay under the Tax Sharing Agreement, we could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such tax liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of our agreed-upon share of tax liabilities.

In connection with the Separation we received a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that, among other things, certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Separation will qualify for favorable treatment under the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), and the contribution by us of certain assets of the financial services businesses to FAFC and the pro-rata distribution to our shareholders of the common stock of FAFC will, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares, qualify as a tax-free transaction for US federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. In addition, we received opinions of tax counsel to similar effect. The ruling and opinions relied on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from us and FAFC regarding the past and future conduct of the companies' respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings is incorrect or not otherwise satisfied, we and our stockholders may not be able to rely on the ruling or the opinions of tax counsel and could be subject to significant tax liabilities. Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and opinions of tax counsel, the IRS could determine on audit that the Separation is taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings were not correct or have been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinions that were not covered by the private letter ruling, or for other reasons, including as a result of certain significant changes in the stock ownership of us

In addition, under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, in the event a transaction were determined to be taxable and such determination were the result of actions taken after the Separation by us or FAFC, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on us or FAFC as a result thereof.

Moreover, the Tax Sharing Agreement generally provides that each party thereto is responsible for any taxes imposed on the other party as a result of the failure of the distribution to qualify as a tax-free transaction under the Code if such failure is attributable to post-Separation actions taken by or in respect of the responsible party or its stockholders, regardless of when the actions occur after the Separation, and the other party consents to such actions or such party obtains a favorable letter ruling or opinion of tax counsel as described above.

In connection with the Separation, we and FAFC entered into a number of agreements that set forth certain rights and obligations of the parties post-Separation, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement, and the Restrictive Covenants Agreement. We possess certain rights under those agreements, including without limitation indemnity rights from certain liabilities allocated to FAFC. The failure of FAFC to perform its obligations under the agreements could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement gives FAFC the right to purchase the equity or assets of our entity or entities directly or indirectly owning the real property databases that we currently own upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. The triggering events include the direct or indirect purchase of the databases by a title insurance underwriter (or its affiliate) or an entity licensed as a title insurance underwriter, including a transaction where a title insurance underwriter (or its affiliate) acquires 25% or more of us. The purchase right expires June 1, 2020. Until the expiration of the purchase right, this provision could have the effect of limiting or discouraging an acquisition of us or preventing a change of control that our stockholders might consider favorable. Likewise, if a triggering event occurs, the loss of ownership of our real property database could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business, and results of operations.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol "CLGX". The approximate number of record holders of our common stock on February 22,24, 2020 was 2,375.

In December 2019, the Board of Directors initiated and declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per share, which was 2,453.paid on January 24, 2020. We expect to make regular quarterly dividend payments for the foreseeable future. The timing, declaration and payment of future dividends, however, falls within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s financial condition and earnings, the capital requirements of our businesses, restrictions imposed by applicable law, and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant from time to time.

In October 2018, the Board of Directors canceled all prior repurchase authorizations and established a new share repurchase authorization of up to $500.0 million. As of December 31, 2018,2019, we have $478.0$391.3 million in value of shares (inclusive of commissions and fees) available to be repurchased under the plan. The stock repurchase plan has no expiration date and repurchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.

Under our Credit Agreement, our stock repurchase capacity is restricted to $150.0 million per fiscal year, with the ability to undertake an additional amount of repurchases in such fiscal year provided that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the stock repurchase, our total covenant leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. While we continue to preserve the capacity to execute share repurchases under our existing share repurchase authorization, going forward we will strive to pursue a balanced approach to capital allocation and will consider the repurchase of shares of our common stock, retirement of outstanding debt, and the pursuit of strategic acquisitions on an opportunistic basis.

The following table summarizes our repurchase activity under our Board-approved stock repurchase plan for the three months ended December 31, 2018:2019:
