Note 1 – Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


CoreLogic, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively "we", "us" or "our"), is a leading global property information, insight, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider operating in North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. Our combined data from public, contributory and proprietary sources provides detailed coverage of property, mortgages and other encumbrances, consumer credit, tenancy, location, hazard risk and related performance information. The markets we serve include real estate and mortgage finance, insurance, capital markets and the public sector. We deliver value to clients through unique data, analytics, workflow technology, advisory and managed solutions. Clients rely on us to help identify and manage growth opportunities, improve performance and mitigate risk.


Our condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the U.S. (“GAAP”United States ("US") for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The 20172018 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20172018. Interim financial information does not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018.


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods.


Client Concentration


We generate the majority of our operating revenues from clients with operations in the U.S.US residential real estate, mortgage origination and mortgage servicing markets. Approximately 32%29% and 41%34% of our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and 33% and 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were generated from our top ten clients, who consist of the largest U.S. mortgage originators and servicers. None of our clients individually accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and two of our clients accounted for approximately 14% and 10% of our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017. None of our clients accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and two of our clients accounted for approximately 13% and 10% of our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2019 nor 2018.


Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash


We deem the carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the nature of these instruments. Restricted cash is comprised of certificates of deposit that are pledged for various letters of credit/bank guarantees secured by us, escrow accounts due to acquisitions and divestitures as well as short-term investments within our deferred compensation plan trust. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts shown in the statement of cash flows:

Operating Revenue Recognition


We derive our operating revenues primarily from U.S.US mortgage lenders, servicers and insurance companies with good creditworthiness. Operating revenue arrangements are written and specify the products or services to be delivered, pricing and payment terms. Operating revenue is recognized when the distinct good, or service, or performance obligation, is delivered and control has been transferred to the client. Generally, clients contract with us to provide products and services that are highly


interrelated and not separately identifiable. Therefore, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. At times, some of our contracts have multiple performance obligations where we allocate the total price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling price using observable sales or the cost-plus-margin approach.


For products or services where delivery occurs at a point in time, we recognize operating revenue when the client obtains control of the products upon delivery.When delivery occurs over time, we generally recognize operating revenue ratably over the service period, once initial delivery has occurred. For certain of our products or services, clients may also pay upfront fees, which we defer and recognize as operating revenue over the longer of the contractual term or the expected client relationship period.


Licensing arrangements that provide our clients with the right to access or use our intellectual property are considered functional licenses for which we generally recognize operating revenue based on usage. For arrangements that provide a stand-ready obligation or substantive updates to the intellectual property which the client is contractually or practically required to use, we recognize operating revenue ratably over the contractual term.


Client payment terms are standard with no significant financing components or extended payment terms granted. In limited cases we allow for client cancellations for which we estimate a reserve.


See further discussion in Note 68 - Operating Revenues.


Comprehensive IncomeLoss


Comprehensive incomeloss includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Specifically, foreign currency translation adjustments, amounts related to supplemental benefit plans, unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap transactions and unrealized gains and losses on investmentinvestments are recorded in other comprehensive (loss)/income. The following table shows the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018:

Investment in Affiliates, net


Investments in affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we are deemed to have significant influence over the affiliate but do not control or have a majority voting interest in the affiliate. Investments are carried at the cost of acquisition, including subsequent impairments, capital contributions and loans from us, plus our equity in undistributed earnings or losses since inception of the investment.


We recorded equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax of $2.8 million and equity in losses of affiliates, net of tax, of $0.3$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax, of $3.1 million and equity in losses of affiliates, net of tax of $1.0$0.2 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017,March 31, 2019, we recorded $0.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, ofdid not have any operating revenues and $2.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of operating expenses related to our investment in affiliates. Foraffiliates and for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded $0.6$0.3 million. We recorded operating expenses of $0.2 million and $4.1$3.3 million respectively, of operating revenues and $5.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of operating expenses related to our investment in affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had insignificant accounts payable and accounts receivable with these affiliates.



Discontinued Operations


In September 2014, we completed the sale of our collateral solutions and field services businesses, which were included in the former reporting segment Asset Management and Processing Solutions ("AMPS").Solutions. In September 2012, we completed the wind down of our consumer services business and our appraisal management company business. In September 2011, we closed our marketing services business. In December 2010, we completed the sale of our Employer and Litigation Services businesses.




In connection with previous divestitures, we retain the prospect of contingent liabilities for indemnification obligations or breaches of representations or warranties. With respect to one such divestiture, in September 2016, a jury returned an unfavorable verdict against a discontinued operating unit that, if upheld on appeal, could result in indemnification exposure up to $25.0 million, including interest. We do not consider this outcome to be probable and intend to vigorously assert our contractual and other rights, including to pursueare pursuing an appeal of the verdict to eliminate or substantially reduce any potential post-divestiture contingency. Any actual liability that comes to fruition would be reflected in our results from discontinued operations.


For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a gain of $4.5 million related to a pre-tax legal settlement in AMPS within our discontinued operations. There was no pre-tax legal settlement for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we recorded assets of discontinued operations of $0.5$0.7 million and $0.4$0.6 million, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other current assets within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we recorded liabilities of $1.8$2.1 million for both periods,and $2.2 million, respectively, within accounts payable and other accrued expenses.expenses mainly consisting of legal related accruals.


Tax Escrow Disbursement Arrangements


We administer tax escrow disbursements as a service to our clients in connection with our property tax processing solutions.services business. These deposits are maintained in segregated accounts for the benefit of our clients. Tax escrow depositsclients and totaled $262.8$5.7 billion and $696.0 million as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019 and $961.5 million as of December 31, 2017.2018, respectively. Because these deposits are held on behalf of our clients, they are not our funds and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.


These deposits generally remain in the accounts for a period of two to five business days. We generally derive operating income and expensesrecord earnings credits from these depositsactivities as a reduction to related administrative expenses, including the cost of bank fees and bear the risk of loss. To mitigate the risk of loss, we diversify the placement of funds across institutions with high credit ratings.other administration costs.


Under our contracts with our clients, if we make a payment in error or fail to pay a taxing authority when a payment is due, we could be held liable to our clients for all or part of the financial loss they suffer as a result of our act or omission. We maintained total claim reserves relating to incorrect disposition of assets of $20.4 million and $21.7$21.2 million as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, and December 31, 20172018, respectively, of which $9.4respectively. Within these amounts, $9.2 million, for both periods, are short-term and are reflected within accounts payable and other accrued expenses within our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining reserves are reflected within other liabilities.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In March 2018,August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance pertaining to the accounting of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), allowing companies a year to finalize and record any provisional or inestimable impacts for the TCJA. This guidance was effective upon issuance during the first quarter. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements. See Note 9 - Income Taxes for discussion of the impacts of the TCJA on our Company.

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance permitting companies to reclassify stranded tax effects from the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings. The stranded tax effects consist of deferred taxes originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss that exceed the newly enacted federal corporate tax rate. As permitted in the guidance, we elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2018. The net impact of adoption was a balance sheet reclassification of a $0.4 million unrealized loss within accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings.

In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance to amend and improve the accounting for hedging activities. The amendment eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. An initial quantitative assessment to establish that the hedge is highly effective is still required but the amendment allows until the end of the first quarter it is designated to perform the assessment. After initial qualification, a qualitative assessment can be performed if the hedge is highly effective and the documentation at inception can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the hedge’s term. The amendment requires companies to present all hedged accounting elements that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. For highly effective cash flow hedges, fair value changes will be recorded in other comprehensive incomeloss and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings. The guidance is effective prospectively infor fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate to elect early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



In November 2016,October 2018, the FASB issued incremental guidance that affectsto this update to permit the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows and related disclosures. The guidance requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the combined total of restricted and unrestricted balances. Disclosure of how the statement of cash flows reconciles to the balance sheet is required if restricted cash is shown separately from cash and cash equivalentsOvernight Index Swap Rate and the nature of the restrictions.Secured Overnight Financing Rate to be utilized as US benchmark interest rates for hedge accounting purposes. We have adopted this guidance in the current year as required. Please see further discussion above within this Note.required, which has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting which requires leases, with durations greater than 12-monthsregardless of classification, to be recognized on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities beginning after December 15, 2018.liabilities. The objective of this standard is to provide greater transparency on the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend ondepends upon its classification as a finance or operating lease. Early adoption is permitted, however we will elect to adopt via the modified retrospective approach on the required date of January 1, 2019. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements, controls and processes, and are in the process of implementing a new lease administration software solution. We anticipate that our notes to the consolidated financial statements related to leases will be expanded and the most substantial change to our consolidated financial statements will be a gross-up of our total assets and liabilities of less than 5%, based on our preliminary analysis. Further, the guidance is not expected to materially impact our results of operations in the upcoming fiscal years and interim periods. Once further evaluation is complete we will expand our disclosure regarding the expected impact of adopting the updated guidance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities. The standard does not apply to equity method investments or investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The update provides that equity investments with readily determinable values be measured at fair value and changes in the fair value flow through net income. These changes historically have been included in other comprehensive income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values have the option to be measured at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. Changes in fair value from the application of either method are also recognized in net income. The standard requires a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators at each reporting period. For financial liabilities, entities that elect the fair value option must recognize the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive loss rather than net income. Lastly, regarding deferred tax assets, the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset will need to be assessed in relation to available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted this guidance in the current year, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue recognition in order to i) remove inconsistencies in revenue requirements, ii) provide a better framework for addressing revenue issues, iii) improve comparability across entities, industries, etc., iv) provide more useful information through improved disclosures, and v) simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. Under the amendment, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in the amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting treatment for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which would not have been incurred had the contract not been obtained. Further, an entity is required to disclose sufficient information to enable the user of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The updated guidance provides two methods of adoption: i) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented, or ii) recognition of the cumulative effect from the retrospective application at the date of initial application.

On January 1, 2018,2019, we adopted thisthe new lease accounting standard, and all the related amendments, using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts that were not in effect as of the adoption date. The comparativeapproach. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those prior periods. We also applied practical expedients which permit (i) the omission of remaining performance obligations that have contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less, (ii) the omission of performance obligations, which are for usage-based variable consideration, which we will recognize over the term of the arrangements based on the actual usageperiods as allowed by the customers and (iii) expensing incremental contract costs, which would have otherwise been recognized in one year or less.guidance. As part of our adoption we elected the package of

The cumulative effect
practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which allows us to carry forward our historical lease classification of pre-existing leases, treatment of pre-existing indirect costs, as well as our conclusions of whether a pre-existing contract contains a lease. We have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information upon our adoption this quarter.

Adoption of the changes made to our condensed consolidated balance sheetnew lease accounting standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $67.7 million and $103.9 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption of the new accounting standard is2019. There was no impact to opening equity as follows:

In connection with the adoption of the new accounting guidance, we increased our total contract liabilities by $31.6 million of which $23.2 million was the result of a change in the accounting for contracts containing material rights the client would have not received without entering into the contract. The performance obligation associated with the material right is recognized when the future products or services are transferred or when the option expires. Further, we recorded $1.6 million of contract-related assets associated with the change in accounting, which are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result of adoption as the adoption-related adjustments previously discussed, we adjusteddifference between the asset and liability balance is attributable to reclasses of pre-existing balances, such as deferred and prepaid rent, into the lease asset balance. The standard has not materially impacted our related deferred income tax and retained earnings accounts.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the difference between revenues as reported and pro forma revenues without the adoption adjustments from the new revenue guidance is primarily due to the removal of the aforementioned performance obligations. We do not expect the new accounting standard to haveanticipate a material impact to net incomein the future based on our current operations. See below for our accounting policy reflecting the updated guidance.

Leases

We determine if an ongoing basisarrangement contains a lease at inception and determine the classification of the lease, as either operating or finance, at commencement.

Operating and finance lease assets and liabilities are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments which factors in certain qualifying initial direct costs incurred as well as any lease incentives received. If an implicit rate is not readily determinable, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate and inputs from third-party lenders to determine the appropriate discount rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases incur interest expense using the effective interest method in addition to amortization of the leased asset on straight-line basis, both over the applicable lease term. Lease terms may factor in options to extend or terminate the lease.

We adhere to the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of assets (i.e. facilities and conditionsequipment). As a result, leases with an initial term of contracts in effect at this time. See Note 6 - Operating Revenuestwelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, for additional information.certain equipment leases, we account for lease and non-lease components, such as services, as a single lease component as permitted.

As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, and December 31, 20172018, we have recorded $0.9$1.4 million and $1.00.7 million of accrued interest expense, respectively, on our debt-related instruments within accounts payable and other accrued expenses.


Credit Agreement


In August 2017, we amended and restated our credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent, and other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.8 billion five-year term loan A facility (“Term Facility”), and a $700.0 million five-year revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"). The Term Facility matures and the Revolving Facility expires in August 2022. The Revolving facility includes a $100.0 million multicurrency revolving sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Agreement also provides for the ability to increase the Term Facility and/or Revolving Facility by up to $100.0 million in the aggregate; however the lenders are not obligated to do so. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had a remaining borrowing capacity of $580.0$521.7 million under the Revolving Facility and we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement.


Debt Issuance Costs


In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement, in August 2017, we incurred approximately $14.3 million of debt issuance costs of which $14.0 million were initially capitalized within long-term debt, net of current in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, when we amended and restated the Credit Agreement, we hadwrote-off previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.8 million within gain on investments and other, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations; resulting in a remaining $12.0 million remaining inof previously unamortized costs. We will amortize all of these costs over the term of the Credit Agreement. For the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, $1.3 million and $1.5$1.4 million, respectively, were expensedrecognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations related to debt issuance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, were expensed in the accompanying condensed consolidated statementamortization of operations related to debt issuance costs.


7.55% Senior Debentures


In April 1998, we issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.55% senior debentures due 2028. The indentures governing these debentures, as amended, contain limited restrictions on us.



Interest Rate Swaps




We have entered into amortizing interest rate swaps ("Swaps") in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. Under the Swaps, we agree to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement. The floating rates in our Swaps are based on the one-month London interbank offering rate. The notional balances, terms and maturities of our Swaps are currently designed to have at least 50% of our debt as fixed rate.


As of June 30, 2018, weMarch 31, 2019, the Swaps have four Swaps with a combined remaining notional balance of $1.3$1.5 billion, a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.76%2.05% (rates range from 1.03% to 2.61%2.98%), and scheduled terminations through August 2022. As previously indicated, notionalDecember 2025. Notional balances under our Swaps are currently scheduled to increase and decrease over their contract lengths based on our expectations of the level of variable rate debt levels. We currentlyto be in effect in future periods. Currently, we have scheduled notional amounts of between $1.3 billion and $1.1$1.5 billion through March 2021 with $585.0December 2020, then $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion through August 2022, and $400.0 million thereafter until August 2022.December 2025. Approximate weighted average fixed interest rates for the aforementioned time intervals are 2.16%, 2.70%, and 2.98%, respectively.


We have designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges. The estimated fair value of these cash flow hedges is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets as well as other assets and other assetsliabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. TheAs of March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of these cash flow hedges resulted in an asset of $23.0$8.7 million as well as a liability of $26.9 million. As of December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of these cash flow hedges resulted in an asset of $13.3 million, of which $1.5$0.6 million is classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets, as well as a liability of June 30, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, we recorded an asset of $12.0 million within other assets.$15.2 million.


Unrealized gainslosses of $4.1$12.2 million (net of $1.4$4.1 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized gains of $0.1$4.1 million (net of less than $0.1$1.4 million in deferred taxes) for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and unrealized gains of $8.2 million (net of $2.7 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized gains of $1.6 million (net of $1.0 million in deferred taxes) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive incomeloss/(income) related to the Swaps.




Note 6 – Operating RevenuesLeases


Operating revenues by solution type consistsWe have entered into renewable commitment agreements for certain real estate facilities and equipment, such as computers and printers, which we individually classify as either operating or finance leases. We possess contractual options to renew certain leases ranging from 6 months to 5 years at a time, as well as, in certain instances, contractual options to terminate leases with varying notification requirements and potential termination fees. As of March 31, 2019, our leases with initial terms greater than twelve months had remaining lease terms of up to 13 years.

Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments



Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable.
Property Insights

The market approach is applied for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value balances are classified based on the observability of those inputs.
Our property insights combine our patented predictive analytics
A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and proprietarythe lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Level 2 measurements utilize observable inputs in active markets for similar assets and contributed dataliabilities, or, quoted prices in markets that are not active.

In estimating the fair value of the financial instruments presented, we used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to enable our clients to improve customer acquisition and retention, detect and prevent fraud, improve mortgage transaction cycle time and cost efficiency, identify real estate trends and neighborhood characteristics, track market performance and increase market share. Our datathe short-term nature of the instruments.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of real estate information with crime, site inspection, neighborhood, document imagescertificates of deposit that are pledged for various letters of credit/bank guarantees secured by us, escrow accounts due to acquisitions and divestitures and short-term investments within our deferred compensation plan trust. We deem the carrying value to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the nature of these instruments.

Other Investments

Other investments is currently comprised of a minority equity investment in a foreign enterprise which we measure at cost and adjust to fair value on a quarterly basis when there are observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical, or similar, investment. Changes in fair value are recorded within gain on investment and other, information from proprietary sources. We also provide verification of applicant income, identity and certain employment verification services. We typically license data in one of two forms: bulk data licensing and transactional licensing. Operating revenue for bulk data licensing contracts that provide a stand-ready obligation or include substantive updates to the intellectual property is recognized ratably over the contractual term; otherwise operating revenue is recognized upon delivery. For transactional licensing we recognize operating revenue based on usage.

Insurance and Spatial Solutions

Our insurance and spatial solutions provide originators and property and casualty insurers the solutions required to more effectively locate, assess and manage property-level assets and risks through location-based data and analytics. The licensed intellectual property data is generally provided to our clients on a subscription or usage basis. For subscription contracts, operating revenue is recognized ratably over the service period once initial delivery has occurred. For contracts to provide a license to data which is delivered via report or data file, operating revenue is recognized when the client obtains control of the products, which is upon delivery.

Property Tax Solutions

Our property tax solutions are built from aggregated property tax information from over 20,000 taxing authorities. We use this information to advise mortgage lenders 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 or servicer requires tax payments to be impounded on behalf of its borrowers, we can also facilitate the transfer of these funds to the taxing authorities and provide the lender or servicer with payment confirmation. Property tax processing revenues are primarily comprised of periodic loan fees and life-of-loan fees. For periodic fee arrangements, we generate monthly fees at a contracted rate for as long as we service the loan. For life-of-loan fee arrangements, we charge a one-time fee when the loan is set-up in our tax servicing system. Life-of-loan fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected service period of 10 years and adjusted for early loan cancellation. Revenue recognition rates of loan portfolios are regularly analyzed and adjusted monthly to reflect current trends.

Valuations Solutions

Our valuation 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 provide collateral information technology and solutions that automate property appraisal ordering, tracking, documentation and review for lender compliance with government regulations. Revenue for the property appraisal service is recognized when the appraisal service is performed and delivered to the client. In addition, to the extent that we provide continuous access to the hosted software platform, we recognize operating revenue over the term of the arrangement.

Credit Solutions

Our credit solutions provide credit and income verification services to the mortgage and automotive industries. We provide comprehensive information, typically in the form of a report, about credit history, income verification and home address history. We normalize the data to provide a broad range of advanced business information solutions designed to reduce risk and improve business performance. Operating revenue is recognized when the report or information is delivered to the client.

Flood Data Services

Our flood data services provide flood zone determinations primarily to mortgage lenders in accordance with U.S. Federal legislation passed in 1994, which requires that most lenders obtain a determination of the current flood zone status at the time each loan is originated and obtain applicable updates during the life of the loan if contracted to do so. We also provide flood zone determinations to insurance companies. We generally recognize operating revenue upon delivery of the initial determination. If contracted for life of loan monitoring, we recognize operating revenue over the estimated service period.



Contract Costs

Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill client contracts are recognized as an asset. As of June 30, 2018, we had $11.6 million of current deferred costs which are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $21.1 million of long term deferred costs which are presented in other assetsnet in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.statement of operations.

Contingent Consideration

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which relies on significant assumption and estimates including discount rates and future market conditions, among others.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of debt was estimated based on the current rates available to us for similar debt of the same remaining maturities and consideration of our default and credit risk.

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair values of the Swaps were estimated based on market-value quotes received from the counterparties to the agreements.

For property insights and insurance & spatial solutions we invoice quarterly and annually, commencing upon execution of the contracts or at the beginning of the license term.

As of January 1, 2018, we had $840.4 million in contract liabilities compared to $834.5 million as of June 30, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The majority of our arrangements are between one and three years with a significant portion being one year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable and fixed arrangements greater than one year, as of June 30, 2018, we had $1.0 billion of remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 20% percent of our remaining revenue backlog in 2018, 28% in 2019, 19% in 2020 and 33% thereafter.

Property Insights

Our property insights solutions combine our patented predictive analytics and proprietary and contributed data to enable our clients to improve customer acquisition and retention, detect and prevent fraud, improve mortgage transaction cycle time and cost efficiency, identify real estate trends and neighborhood characteristics, track market performance, and increase market share. Our data is comprised of real estate information with crime, site inspection, neighborhood, document images and other information from proprietary sources. We also provide verification of applicant income, identity and certain employment verification services. We typically license data in one of two forms: bulk data licensing and transactional licensing. Operating revenue for bulk data licensing contracts that provide a stand-ready obligation or include substantive updates to the intellectual property is recognized ratably over the contractual term; otherwise operating revenue is recognized upon delivery. For transactional licensing we recognize operating revenue based on usage.

Insurance & Spatial Solutions

Our insurance & spatial solutions provide originators and property and casualty insurers the solutions required to more effectively locate, assess and manage property-level assets and risks through location-based data and analytics. The licensed intellectual property data is generally provided to our clients on a subscription or usage basis. For subscription contracts, operating revenue is recognized ratably over the service period once initial delivery has occurred. For contracts to provide a license to data which is delivered via report or data file, operating revenue is recognized when the client obtains control of the products, which is upon delivery.



Property Tax Solutions

Our property tax solutions are built from aggregated property tax information from over 20,000 taxing authorities. We use this information to advise mortgage lenders 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 or servicer requires tax payments to be impounded on behalf of its borrowers, we can also facilitate the transfer of these funds to the taxing authorities and provide the lender or servicer with payment confirmation. Property tax processing revenues are primarily comprised of periodic loan fees and life-of-loan fees. For periodic fee arrangements, we generate monthly fees at a contracted rate for as long as we service the loan. For life-of-loan fee arrangements, we charge a one-time fee when the loan is set-up in our tax servicing system. Life-of-loan fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected service period of 10 years and adjusted for early loan cancellation. Revenue recognition rates of loan portfolios are regularly analyzed and adjusted monthly to reflect current trends.

Valuation Solutions

Our valuation 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 as well as ensuring compliance with lender and governmental regulations. We provide collateral information technology and solutions that automate property appraisal ordering, tracking, documentation and review for lender compliance with government regulations. Revenue for the property appraisal service is recognized when the appraisal service is performed and delivered to the client. In addition, to the extent that we provide continuous access to the hosted software platform, we recognize operating revenue over the term of the arrangement.

Credit Solutions

Our credit solutions provide credit and income verification services to the mortgage and automotive industries. We provide comprehensive information, typically in the form of a report, about credit history, income verification and home address history. We normalize the data to provide a broad range of advanced business information solutions designed to reduce risk and improve business performance. Operating revenue is recognized when the report or information is delivered to the client.

Flood Data Services

Our flood data services provide flood zone determinations primarily to mortgage lenders in accordance with US Federal legislation passed in 1994, which requires that most lenders obtain a determination of the current flood zone status at the time each loan is originated and obtain applicable updates during the life of the loan if contracted to do so. We also provide flood zone determinations to insurance companies. We generally recognize operating revenue upon delivery of the initial determination. If contracted for life of loan monitoring, we recognize operating revenue over the estimated service period.

Contract Costs

Incremental costs to obtain or fulfill client contracts are recognized as an asset. As of March 31, 2019, we had $9.5 million of current deferred costs which are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets as well as $20.6 million of long-term deferred costs which are presented in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, we had $9.7 million of current deferred costs and $20.8 million of long-term deferred costs. Our deferred costs primarily include certain set-up and acquisition costs related to property tax solutions which amortize ratably over an expected ten year life, adjusted for early loan cancellations. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of amortization associated with these deferred costs.

Contract Liabilities

We record a contract liability when amounts are invoiced prior to the satisfaction of a performance obligation. For property tax solutions, we invoice our clients upfront fees for services to be performed over time. For property insights and insurance & spatial solutions we invoice quarterly and annually, commencing upon execution of the contracts or at the beginning of the license term.



As of March 31, 2019, we had $833.2 million in contract liabilities compared to $833.0 million as of December 31, 2018. The overall change of $0.2 million in contract liability balances are primarily due to $135.7 million of new deferred billings in the current year, partially offset by $135.6 million of operating revenue recognized, of which $97.0 million related to contracts previously deferred.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The majority of our arrangements are between one and three years with a significant portion being one year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable and fixed arrangements greater than one year, as of March 31, 2019 we had $959.3 million of remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 26% percent of our remaining revenue backlog in 2019, 26% in 2020, 18% in 2021 and 30% thereafter. See further discussion on performance obligations in Note 1 - Basis for Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 9 – Share-Based Compensation


We currently issue equity awards under the CoreLogic, Inc. 2018 Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting held in May 2018. The Plan includes the ability to grant share-based instruments such as restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") and stock options. Prior to the approval of the Plan, we issued share-based awards under the CoreLogic, Inc. 2011 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended, which was preceded by the CoreLogic, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan. The Plan provides for up to 15,139,084 shares of the Company's common stock to be available for award grants.


We have primarily utilized RSUs and PBRSUs as our share-based compensation instruments for employees and directors. The fair value of any share-based compensation instrument grant is based on the market value of our shares on the date of grant and is recognized as compensation expense over its vesting period.


Restricted Stock Units


For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 20172018, we awarded 529,725584,552 and 646,774469,323 RSUs, respectively, with an estimated grant-date fair value of $24.8$21.1 million and $25.7$21.6 million, respectively. The RSU awards will vest ratably over three years.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units


For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 20172018, we awarded 327,018203,464 and 288,331315,259 PBRSUs, respectively, with an estimated grant-date fair value of $15.1$7.5 million and $11.5$14.5 million, respectively. These awards are generally subject to service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting conditions. The service and performance period for the 2019 grants is from January 2019 to December 2021 and the performance metric is adjusted earnings per share.

The performance and service period for the PBRSUs awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2018is from January 2018 to December 2020 and the performance metrics are generally adjusted earnings per share.share and market-based conditions.

Note 8 – Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies

We have been named in various lawsuits and we may from time to time be subject to audit or investigation by governmental agencies. Currently, governmental agencies are auditing or investigating certain of our operations.

With respect to matters where we have determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we have recorded a liability representing our best estimate of the financial exposure based on known facts. For matters where a settlement has been reached, we have recorded the expected amount of such settlements. With respect to audits, investigations or lawsuits that are ongoing, although their final dispositions are not yet determinable, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. The actual outcome of such matters could differ materially from management’s estimates. We record expenses for legal fees as incurred.

Fair Credit Reporting Act Class Actions

In February 2012, CoreLogic National Background Data, LLC (n/k/a CoreLogic Background Data, LLC ("CBD")) was named as a defendant in a putative class action styled Tyrone Henderson, et. al., v. CoreLogic National Background Data, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Plaintiffs allege violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and pled a putative class claim relating to CBD’s return of criminal record data in response to search queries initiated by its consumer reporting agency customers, which then prepare and transmit employment background screening reports to their employer customers. The parties agreed to settle the case on a class-wide basis and the settlement was approved in March 2018.

In June 2015, a companion case, Witt v. CoreLogic National Background Data, et. al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the same attorneys as in Henderson, alleging the same claim against CBD. Witt also names as a defendant CoreLogic SafeRent, LLC (n/k/a CoreLogic Rental Property Solutions, LLC (“RPS”)) on the theory that RPS provided criminal record “reports” to CBD at the same time that CBD delivered reports to CBD’s consumer reporting agency customers. The parties agreed to settle the case on a class-wide basis and the settlement was approved in March 2018.
In July 2017, RPS was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit styled Claudinne Feliciano, et. al., v. CoreLogic SafeRent, LLC, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The named plaintiff alleges that RPS prepared a background screening report about her that contained a record of a New York Housing Court action without noting that the action had previously been dismissed. On this basis, she seeks damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the New York Fair Credit Reporting Act on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated consumers with respect to reports issued during the period of July 2015 to the present. RPS has denied the claims and intends to defend the case vigorously.
Separation

Following the Separation, we are responsible for a portion of First American Financial Corporation's ("FAFC") contingent and other corporate liabilities. In the Separation and Distribution Agreement we entered into in connection with the Separation (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"), we agreed with FAFC to share equally in the cost of resolution of a small number of corporate-level lawsuits, including certain consolidated securities litigation matters from which we have since been dropped. There were no liabilities incurred in connection with the consolidated securities matters. Responsibility to manage each case has been assigned to either FAFC or us, with the managing party required to update the other party regularly and consult with the other party prior to certain important decisions, such as settlement. The managing party will also have primary responsibility for determining the ultimate total liability, if any, related to the applicable case. We will record our share of any such liability when the responsible party determines a reserve is necessary. As of June 30, 2018, no reserves were considered necessary.

In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our predecessor, The First American Corporation's ("FAC") financial services business, with FAFC and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of FAC's information solutions business with us. Specifically, each party will, and will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to, indemnify, defend and


hold harmless the other party, its respective affiliates and subsidiaries and each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with the liabilities each such party assumed or retained pursuant to the Separation.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before equity in earnings/(losses) of affiliates and income taxes was 23.7% and 31.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 16.5% and 31.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, when compared to 2017, the decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to changes in the statutory tax rate from the enactment of the TCJA.

In December 2017, the U.S. passed the TCJA which included a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, an assessment of a one-time transition tax on certain foreign earnings that were previously tax deferred, a new provision that taxes certain income from foreign operations, a new limitation on deductible interest expense and limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

At December 31, 2017, we recorded a provisional tax benefit related to the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduction in the corporate income tax rate. As of June 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. When our analysis is finalized, any resulting adjustments may materially impact our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made. We currently anticipate finalizing and recording any such adjustments and related elections by the end of 2018.

We are currently under examination for the years 2010 through 2012, by the U.S., our primary taxing jurisdiction, and various other state taxing authorities. It is reasonably possible the amount of the unrecognized benefits with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions that are not subject to the FAFC indemnification could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months and would have an impact on net income. Currently, the Company expects expiration of statutes of limitations, excluding indemnified amounts, on reserves of $4.0 million within the next twelve months.

Note 11 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before equity in (losses)/earnings of affiliates and income taxes was 32.9% and (2.6)% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, when compared to 2018, the increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to nonrecurring tax benefits recorded in 2018 related to share-based compensation and the release of tax reserves.

We are currently under examination for the years 2010 through 2012, by the US, our primary taxing jurisdiction, and various other state taxing authorities. It is reasonably possible the amount of the unrecognized benefits with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions that are not subject to the FAFC indemnification could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months and would have an impact on net income. Currently, the Company expects expiration of statutes of limitations, excluding indemnified amounts, on reserves of $1.0 million within the next twelve months.

Note 1113Fair ValueAcquisitions

In December 2018, we acquired the remaining 72.0% of Financial Instruments

Fair valueSymbility Solutions Inc. ("Symbility") for C$107.1 million, or approximately $80.0 million subject to certain working capital adjustments. Symbility is a leading global provider of cloud-based property claims workflow solutions for the property and casualty insurance industry, headquartered in Canada. This acquisition further progresses our long-term strategic plan by adding scale to our insurance and spatial businesses and international presence. Symbility is included as a component of our Property Intelligence and Risk Management ("PIRM") segment. The purchase price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputswas allocated to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable.

The market approach is applied for recurring fair value measurementsassets acquired and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilizeliabilities assumed using a variety of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use ofincluding discounted cash flow analysis, which included significant unobservable inputs. Fair value balances are classified based on the observabilityWe have preliminarily recorded $14.9 million in proprietary technology with an estimated useful life of those inputs.

A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or8 years, client lists of $6.4 million with an estimated useful life of 12 years, trademarks of $1.2 million with an estimated useful life of 4 years, $5.3 million of deferred tax liabilities, (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to


unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). Level 2 measurements utilize observable inputs in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or, quoted prices in markets that are not active.

In estimating the fair valuegoodwill of the financial instruments presented, we used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash equivalents

For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash is comprised of certificates of deposit that are pledged for various letters of credit/bank guarantees secured by us, escrow accounts due to acquisitions and divestitures and short-term investments within our deferred compensation plan trust. We deem the carrying value to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the nature of these instruments.

Contingent consideration

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which relies on significant assumption and estimates including discount rates and future market conditions, among others.

Long-term debt

The fair value of debt was estimated based on the current rates available to us for similar debt of the same remaining maturities and consideration of our default and credit risk.

Swaps

The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements were estimated based on market-value quotes received from the counterparties to the agreements.

Overview of Business Environment and Company Developments


Business Environment


The volume of U.S. mortgage loan originations serves as a key market driver for more than half of our business. We believe the volume of real estate and mortgage transactions is primarily affected by real estate prices, the availability of funds for mortgage loans, mortgage interest rates, housing supply, employment levels and the overall state of the U.S. economy. We believe mortgage unit volumes decreased by more than 10% to 15% in the secondfirst quarter of 20182019 relative to the same period in 2017,2018, primarily due to significantly lower mortgage refinance volumes resulting from rising interest rates.rates and factors which are unfavorably impacting mortgage purchase volumes. Mortgage purchase volumes are being impacted by multiple factors such as tight inventory supply, insufficient supply of new housing stock, and affordability, all of which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. Overall, we expect full-year 20182019 mortgage unit volumes to be approximately 10% to 15%5% lower relative to 20172018 levels mostly due to rising interest rates and lower expected refinance activity.the factors discussed above.

Credit Agreement


In August 2017, we amended and restated our credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent, and other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.8 billion five-year term loan A facility (“Term Facility”(the "Term Facility"), and a $700.0 million five-year revolving credit facility ("Revolving(the "Revolving Facility"). The Term Facility matures and the Revolving Facility expires in August 2022. The Credit Agreement also provides for the ability to increase the Term Facility and/or Revolving Facility by up to $100.0 million in the aggregate; however, the lenders are not obligated to do so. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $580.0$521.7 million and were in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants of the Credit Agreement. See Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for further discussion.


Interest Rate Swaps
 
We have entered into amortizing interest rate swaps ("Swaps") in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. Under the Swaps, we agree to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement. The floating rates in our Swaps are based on the one monthone-month London interbank offering rate. The notional balances, terms, and maturities of our Swaps are currently designed to have at least 50% of our debt as fixed rate.





As of June 30, 2018, weMarch 31, 2019, the Swaps have four Swaps with a combined remaining notional balance of $1.3$1.5 billion, a weighted average fixed interest rate of 1.76%2.05% (rates range from 1.03% to 2.61%2.98%), and scheduled terminations through August 2022. As previously indicated, notionalDecember 2025. Notional balances under our Swaps are currently scheduled to increase and decrease over their contract lengths based on our expectations of the level of variable rate debt levels. We currentlyto be in effect in future periods. Currently, we have scheduled notional amounts of between $1.3 billion and $1.1$1.5 billion through March 2021 with $585.0December 2020, then $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion through August 2022, and $400.0 million thereafter until August 2022.December 2025. Approximate weighted average fixed interest rates for the aforementioned time intervals are 2.16%, 2.70%, and 2.98%, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Strategy


We expect that cash flow from operations and current cash balances, together with available borrowings under our Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to meet operating requirements through the next twelve months. Cash available from operations, however, could be affected by any general economic downturn or any decline or adverse changes in our business such as a loss of clients, market and or competitive pressures or other significant change in business environment.


We strive to pursue a balanced approach to capital allocation and will consider the repurchase of common shares, the retirement of outstanding debt, investments and the pursuit of strategic acquisitions on an opportunistic basis.


During the six monthsquarter ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we repurchased 1.3 milliondid not issue any unregistered shares of our common stock for $63.3 million including commission costs.stock.


Availability of Additional Capital


Our access to additional capital fluctuates as market conditions change. There may be times when the private capital markets and the public debt or equity markets lack sufficient liquidity or when our securities cannot be sold at attractive prices, in which case we would not be able to access capital from these sources. Based on current market conditions and our financial condition, (including our ability to satisfy the conditions contained in our debt instruments that are required to be satisfied to permit us to incur additional indebtedness), we believe that we have the ability to effectively access these liquidity sources for new borrowings. However, a weakening of our financial condition, including a significant decrease in our profitability or cash flows or a material increase in our leverage, could adversely affect our ability to access these markets and/or increase our cost of borrowings.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


For additional information with respect to our critical accounting policies, which are those that could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management, see Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 and Note 1 – Basis for Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference in response to this item, for updates on our policies over revenue recognition.lease accounting.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.


Our primary exposure to market risk relates to interest-rate risk associated with certain financial instruments. We monitor our risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge some of these risks.


We have entered into Swaps in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. Under the Swaps, we agree to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement. The notional balances, terms and maturities of our Swaps are currently designed to have at least 50% of our debt as fixed rate. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had approximately $1.8 billion in gross long-term debt outstanding, predominately all of which was variable-interest-rate debt. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the remaining notional balance of the Swaps was $1.3$1.5 billion. A hypothetical 1% increase or decrease in interest rates could result in an approximately $1.3$0.7 million change to interest expense on a quarterly basis.


Although we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of our operations in certain foreign countries, the foreign exchange exposure related to these operations, in the aggregate, is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.






Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, were effective, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b).


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

ThereOther than the updates described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item  1A.  Risk Factors.


We have described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, the primary risks related to our business, and we may periodically update those risks for material developments. Those risks are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks that we believe are material to us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as general economic conditions, geopolitical events and employment relations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business. Please read the cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties our business faces.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.


Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities


During the quarter ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we did not issue any unregistered shares of our common stock.


Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers


In October 2016,2018, the Board of Directors canceled all prior repurchase authorizations and established a new share repurchase authorization of up to $500.0 million. As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, we have $147.2$478.0 million in value of shares (inclusive of commissions and fees) available to be repurchased under the plan. The stock repurchase authorization 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 leverage ratio does not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. 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 shares, the retirement of outstanding debt and the pursuit of strategic acquisitions on an opportunistic basis.
