FNF currently intends to fund the $1.2 billion purchase price through a combination of New Black Knightcash on hand at FNF, the issuance of FNF common stock for every one shareto Stewart stockholders, and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, if necessary, and will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in FNF common stock. Including the assumption of FNF Group common stock held$109 million of Stewart debt, our pro forma debt to total capital ratio is expected to be no more than approximately 20% at the close of businessthe transaction.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the combined company is required to divest assets or businesses for which 2017 annual revenues exceed $75 million, up to a cap of $225 million, in order to receive required regulatory approvals, the purchase price will be adjusted down on a pro-rata basis to a minimum purchase price of $45.50 per share of common stock of Stewart. If the Stewart Merger is not completed for failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals, we are required to pay a reverse break-up fee of $50 million to Stewart.
On May 30, 2018, we filed a preliminary registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
On May 31, 2018, we received a request for additional information and documentary material, often referred to as a “Second Request,” from the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) in connection with the FTC’s Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), regulatory review of the Stewart Merger.

In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain stock options, shares of restricted stock, convertible debt instruments and certain other convertible share based payments which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.
Options or other instruments which provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no antidilutive options outstanding during the threethree- or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.
Income Tax
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). Among other provisions, the Tax Reform Act reduced the federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and limited or eliminated certain deductions. Our effective tax rate was 17.8% and 36.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 15.1% and 40.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in both periods is primarily attributable to the decreased federal tax rate associated with the passage of the Tax Reform Act. The decrease in the three-month period is also attributable to an $8 million reversal of certain tax contingencies in the period and for certain return-to-provision adjustments. The decrease in the nine-month period was also attributable to a $45 million change in tax estimate in the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 regarding the timing of payments for, and tax rate applicable to, our tax liability resulting from the decrease in our statutory premium reserves associated with the redomestication of certain of our title insurance underwriters in 2017 and increased tax expense of $21 million in the 2017 period resulting from a change in judgment of the tax deductibility of legal settlements finalized in the period.
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), has provided guidance for companies that have not completed their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act in the period of enactment, allowing for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. As of September 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Reform Act; however, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our deferred tax balances. In other cases, we have not been able to make a reasonable estimate and will continue to analyze the Tax Reform Act in order to finalize any related impacts within the measurement period. Areas of continued analysis with respect to the Tax Reform Act include the tax deductibility of certain executive compensation, applicable foreign and state tax rates, and final tax return to provision adjustments.

Discontinued Operations
On November 17, 2017, we completed our previously announced split-off (the “FNFV Split-Off”) of our former wholly-owned subsidiary Cannae Holdings, Inc. (“Cannae”) which consisted of the businesses, assets and liabilities formerly attributed to our FNF Ventures ("FNFV") Group including Ceridian Holding, LLC, American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC and T-System Holding LLC. The FNFV Split-Off was accomplished by the Company's redemption (the “Redemption”) of all of the outstanding shares of FNFV Group common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“FNFV common stock”) for outstanding shares of common stock of Cannae, par value $0.0001 per share (“Cannae common stock”), amounting to a redemption of each outstanding share of FNFV common stock for one share of Cannae common stock, as of November 17, 2017. There were two million antidilutive options outstanding duringAs a result of the FNFV Split-Off, Cannae became a separate, publicly-traded company (NYSE: CNNE) as of November 20, 2017. All of the Company’s core title insurance, real estate, technology and mortgage related businesses, assets and liabilities currently attributed to the Company’s FNF common stock that are not held by Cannae remain with the Company. As a result of the FNFV Split-Off, the financial results of FNFV Group have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017. 
On September 29, 2017 we completed our tax-free distribution to FNF shareholders of all 83.3 million shares of New BKH Corp. ("New BKH") common stock that we previously owned (the “BK Distribution”). Immediately following the BK Distribution, New BKH and Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. ("Black Knight") engaged in a series of transactions resulting in the formation of a new publicly traded holding company, Black Knight, Inc. ("New Black Knight"). Holders of FNF common stock received approximately 0.30663 shares of New Black Knight common stock for every one share of FNF common stock held at the close of business on September 20, 2017, the record date for the BK Distribution. New Black Knight's common stock is now listed under the symbol “BKI” on the New York Stock Exchange. The BK Distribution was generally tax-free to FNF shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of New Black Knight's fractional shares. As a result of the BK Distribution, the financial results of Black Knight have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. 
See Note K. Discontinued Operations for further details of the results and financial position of FNFV and Black Knight.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU provides a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations was issued by FASB in March 2016 to clarify the principal versus agent considerations within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing was issued by the FASB in April 2016 to clarify how to determine whether goods and services are separately identifiable and thus accounted for as separate performance obligations. ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients was issued by the FASB in May 2016 to clarify certain terms from the aforementioned updates and to add practical expedients for contracts at various stages of completion. ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued by the FASB in December 2016 which includes thirteen technical corrections and improvements affecting narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09.
We have materially completed our analysis of the impact of theadopted these revenue standards and have concluded that these standards will not have a material impact on our accounting or reporting.

Upon issuance of ASU 2015-14, the effective date of ASU 2014-09 was deferred to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2018. Either of2018 using the following transition methods is permitted: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the new standard in each prior reporting period, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach withapproach. As there was no material impact to our historical revenue recognition, we did not record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year the new standard is first applied. We plan to transition to this new guidance using the modified retrospective approach.current year. See Note J. Revenue Recognition for further discussion of our revenue.
Other Adopted Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The primary amendments required by the ASU include: requiring equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value through net income rather than through other comprehensive income; allowing entities with equity investments without readily determinable fair values to report the investments at cost, adjusted for changes in observable prices, less impairment; requiring entities that elect the fair value option for financial liabilities to report the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income; and clarifying that entities should assess the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires a cumulative-effect adjustment of the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption of the ASU is not permitted, except for the provision related to financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected.
We have completed our evaluation of the effectsadopted this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have determined thatJanuary 1, 2018, which resulted in the ASU will result in: (1) reclassification of our unrealized gains and losses on our equity and preferred securities available for sale currentlypreviously included in accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 and (2) changesearnings. Changes in the fair value of our investments in equity and preferred securities available for sale subsequent to January 1, 2018 to beare now included in Realized gains and losses, net in our earnings from continuing operations. AsCondensed Consolidated Statements of September 30, 2017, we held equity and preferred securities availableEarnings. See Note D. Investments for sale with combined net unrealized gains (net of losses) of $160 million and $14 million, respectively. Including the associated effects of deferred taxes, based on the net of tax balances as of September 30, 2017, we expect to reclassifyfurther details. We reclassified a total of approximately $106$109 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning Retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The total cumulative effect on opening equity, including an increase in Retained earnings of $19 million attributable to an increase in value of certain Other long term investments resulting from recording at fair value, was an increase in Retained earnings of $128 million and decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive income of $109 million.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. GAAP previously did not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The Company previously excluded cash pledged related to secured trust deposits, which generally meets the definition of restricted cash, from the reconciliation of beginning-of-period to end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption.
We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU resulted in the following retrospective changes to our Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017: an increase in the net change in cash and cash equivalents of $237 million due to the inclusion of the change in our cash pledged against secured trust deposits, an increase in investing cash inflow of $177 million related to the movement of cash paid for investments pledged against secured trust deposits from operating to investing activities, and a decrease in financing cash outflow of $63 million related to the movement of the change in secured trust deposits from operating to financing activities.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform. We adopted this ASU on April 1, 2018. Adoption of this ASU resulted in no net reclassification from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Retained earnings.
Other Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to the accounting and reporting for leases by lessees. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases, and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities resulting from applying the fair value measurement, to be reflected on the lessee's balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the standard is permitted. The ASU requiresallows for a modified retrospective approach to transitioning which allows for the use of practical expedients to effectively account for leases commenced prior to the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP, except that lessees areGAAP. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements which allows entities the option to adopt this standard prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity and include required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liabilitydisclosures for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. We are still evaluating the totality of the effects this new guidance will have on our business process and systems, consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. prior periods.
We have identified a vendor with software suited to track and account for leases under the new standard.standard and are in process of transitioning our lease accounting within the software. We anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets.

The primary updates include the introduction of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected rather than incurred losses and amendments to the accounting for impairment of debtfixed maturity securities available for sale. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currentlystill evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects.

presented upon adoption. We have materially completed our analysis of the effects of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures with regard to all aspects except for the provisions related to distributions from equity method investees. Excluding the provisions related to distributions from equity method investees, we do not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The Company currently excludes cash pledged related to secured trust deposits, which generally meets the definition of restricted cash, from the reconciliation of beginning-of-period to end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The new guidance requires a company to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in the guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  The guidance simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit.  The new guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We have completed our evaluation ofare currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded that the effect will not be material. We do not expect to early adopt this standard.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.its effects.

We continually update loss reserve estimates as new information becomes known, new loss patterns emerge, or as other contributing factors are considered and incorporated into the analysis of reserve for claim losses. Estimating future title loss payments is difficult because of the complex nature of title claims, the long periods of time over which claims are paid, significantly varying dollar amounts of individual claims and other factors.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in the process and to the judgment used by management, the ultimate liability may be greater or less than our current reserves. If actual claims loss development varies from what is currently expected and is not offset by other factors, it is possible that additional reserve adjustments may be required in future periods in order to maintain our recorded reserves may fall outsidereserve within a reasonable range of our actuary's central estimate, which may require additional reserve adjustments in future periods.estimate.

AsIn conjunction with our adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, beginning January 1, 2018, we began recording certain equity investments included in other long term investments at fair value which were previously accounted for as cost method investments.

Our Level 3 fair value measures for our other long term investment are provided by a third-party pricing service. We utilize one firm to value our Level 3 other long-term investment. The pricing service is a leading global provider of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. We utilize the income approach and a discounted cash flow analysis in determining the fair value of our Level 3 other long-term investment. The primary unobservable input utilized in this pricing methodology is the discount rate used which is determined based on underwriting yield, credit spreads, yields on benchmark indices, and comparable public company debt. The discount rate used in our determination of the fair value of our Level 3 other long-term investment as of September 30, 2018 was a range of 7.9% - 8.1% and a weighted-average of 8.0%. Based on the total fair value of our Level 3 other long-term investment as of September 30, 2018, changes in the discount rate utilized will not result in a fair value significantly different than the amount recorded.

Transfers into or out of the Level 3 fair value category occur when unobservable inputs become more or less significant to the fair value measurement or upon a change in valuation technique.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were based on changes in significance of unobservable inputs used associated with a change in the valuation technique used for certain of the Company’s corporate debt securities and are not considered material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.
As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016,September 30, 2017, we held no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

At September 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $1,056 million, which was $155 million higher than its carrying value, excluding $11 million of net unamortized debt issuance costs and premium/discount. The carrying values of our ABRH term loan and ABRH revolving credit facility approximate the fair values at September 30, 2017 as they are variable rate instruments with short reset periods which reflect current market rates. The fair value of our unsecured notes payable was $624 million as of September 30, 2017.

The ABRH Credit Facility was amended on February 24, 2017.

Note F — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal and Regulatory Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. With respect to our title insurance operations, this customary litigation includes but is not limited to a wide variety of cases arising out of or related to title and escrow claims, for which we make provisions through our loss reserves. Additionally, like other companies, our ordinary course litigation includes a number of class action and purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to aspects of our operations. We believe that no actions, other than the matters discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation incidental to our business.
Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under “dram shop” laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.
We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively “legal proceedings”) on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts and which represents our best estimate has been recorded. Our accrual for legal and regulatory matters was $13 million and $2 million as of September 30, 20172018 and $69 million as of December 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, ServiceLink paid $65 million to settle all remaining obligations to complete the document execution review under the 2011 LPS consent order with certain banking agencies. Details of the consent order and the terms of the settlement are set forth in Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016.respectively. None of the amounts we have currently recorded are considered to be material to our financial condition individually or in the aggregate. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating

outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, at present we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
In a class action captioned Patterson, et al. v. Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, et al., Case No. GD 03-021176, originally filed on October 27, 2003 and pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, plaintiffs allege the named Company underwriters violated Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (“UTPCPL”) by failing to provide premium discounts in accordance with filed rates in refinancing transactions. Contrary to rulings in similar federal court cases that considered the rate rule and agreed with the Company’s position, the court held that the rate rule should be interpreted such that an institutional mortgage in the public record is a “proxy” for prior title insurance entitling a consumer to a discount rate when refinancing when there is a mortgage of record within the number of years required by the rate rule. The rate rule requires sufficient evidence of a prior policy, and because not all institutional mortgages were insured, the Company’s position is that a recorded first mortgage alone does not constitute sufficient evidence of an earlier policy entitling consumers to a discounted rate. The court certified the class refusing to follow prior Pennsylvania Supreme Court and appellate court decisions holding that the UTPCPL requires proof of reliance, an individual issue which precludes certification. After notice to the class, plaintiffs moved for partial summary judgment on liability, and defendants moved for summary judgment. On June 27, 2018, the court entered an order granting plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on liability, and denying the Company’s motion finding that the Company failed to advise it’s agents how to interpret the rate rule so that it would be uniformly applied, thereby having engaged in “deceptive conduct.” The Company plans to seek interlocutory review of the summary judgment order. The court approved the parties’ stipulation in which they agreed that before interlocutory review is appropriate, the court will first determine which party should bear the burden of ascertaining the class and calculating damages, and determine whether the damages should be trebled. Briefing on these issues is ongoing, with oral argument scheduled for December 3, 2018. There has been no determination as to the size of the class. It is unknown whether plaintiffs will seek statutory or actual damages, whether the judge will exercise discretion to award treble damages or award prejudgment interest, or what plaintiffs’ counsel will seek as reasonable attorneys’ fees. Accordingly, damages are not reasonably estimable at this time. We will continue to vigorously defend this matter, and we do not believe the result will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
From time to time we receive inquiries and requests for information from state insurance departments, attorneys general and other regulatory agencies about various matters relating to our business. Sometimes these take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. We cooperate with all such inquiries and we have responded to or are currently responding to inquiries from multiple governmental agencies. Also, regulators and courts have been dealing with issues arising from foreclosures and related processes and documentation. Various governmental entities are studying the title insurance product, market, pricing, and business practices, and potential regulatory and legislative changes, which may materially affect our business and operations. From time to time, we are assessed fines for violations of regulations or other matters or enter into settlements with such authorities which may require us to pay fines or claims or take other actions.

Note J — Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 by applying the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.
The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have an impact on the recognition of our primary sources of revenue, direct and agency title premiums, as those revenue streams are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements under ASC Topic 944. Timing of recognition of substantially all of our remaining revenue was also not impacted and we therefore did not record any cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity.

Our Direct title insurance premiums are recognized as revenue at the time of closing of the underlying transaction as the earnings process is then considered complete. Regulation of title insurance rates varies by state. Premiums are charged to customers based on rates predetermined in coordination with each states' respective Department of Insurance. Cash associated with such revenue is typically collected at closing of the underlying real estate transaction. Premium revenues from agency title operations are recognized when the underlying title order and transaction closing, if applicable, are complete.
Revenues from our home warranty business are generated from contracts with customers to provide warranty for major home appliances. Substantially all of our home warranty contracts are one year in length and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Escrow fees and Other title-related fees and income in our Title segment are closely related to Direct title insurance premiums and are primarily associated with managing the closing of real estate transactions including the processing of funds on behalf of the transaction participants, gathering and recording the required closing documents, providing notary and home inspection services, and other real estate or title-related activities. Revenue is primarily recognized upon closing of the underlying real estate transaction or completion of services. Cash associated with such revenue is typically collected at closing.
Revenues from ServiceLink, excluding its title premiums, escrow fees, and loan subservicing fees primarily include revenues from real estate appraisal services and foreclosure processing and facilitation services.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; continued weakness or adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding or a weak U.S. economy; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as our main source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries and adverse changes in applicable lawssubsidiaries; the risk that the necessary regulatory approvals for the Stewart Merger may not be obtained or regulations or in their application by regulators; our abilitymay be obtained subject to successfully executeconditions that are not anticipated; risks that any of the closing conditions to the proposed plan to redeem all FNFV tracking stock;Stewart Merger may not be satisfied in a timely manner; the risk that our and Stewart's businesses will not be integrated successfully, that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or more costly than expected or that the expected benefits of the Stewart Merger will not be realized; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 20162017 and other filings with the SEC.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
Overview
For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion under Basis of Financial Statements in Note A to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
On September 29, 2017, we completed our previously announced tax-free distribution, to FNF Group shareholders, of all 83.3 million shares of New BKH Corp. ("New BKH") common stock that we previously owned (the “BK Distribution”). Immediately following the BK Distribution, New BKH and Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. ("Black Knight") engaged in a series of transactions resulting in the formation of a new publicly-traded holding company, Black Knight, Inc. ("New Black Knight"). Holders of FNF Group common stock received approximately 0.30663 shares of New Black Knight common stock for every one share of FNF Group common stock held at the close of business on September 20, 2017, the record date for the BK Distribution. New Black Knight's common stock is now listed under the symbol “BKI” on the New York Stock Exchange. The BK Distribution

is expected to generally be tax-free to FNF Group shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of New Black Knight's fractional shares. As a result of the BK Distribution, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities divested as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. Further, the financial results of Black Knight have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

Business Trends and Conditions
Title
Our Title segment revenue is closely related to the level of real estate activity which includes sales, mortgage financing and mortgage refinancing. Declines in the level of real estate activity or the average price of real estate sales will adversely affect our title insurance revenues.
We have found that residential real estate activity is generally dependent on the following factors:
mortgage interest rates;
mortgage funding supply;
housing inventory and home prices; and
the strength of the United States economy, including employment levels.
As of October 24, 201716, 2018, the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") estimated (actual for fiscal year 2017) the size of the U.S. mortgage originations market as shown in the following table for 20162017 - 20192021 in its "Mortgage Finance Forecast" (in trillions):
 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017

In 2016,2017, total originations were reflective of a generally improving residential real estate market driven by increasing home prices and historically low mortgage interest rates. Mortgage interest rates increased slightly in 2017 from 2016, but remained low compared to historical rates. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2018, average interest rates on 30 year fixed-rate mortgages have risen approximately 15% according to rates published by mortgage buyer FreddieMac. Refinance transactions decreased in 2017 and through the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the historically high levels experienced in preceding years. Existing home sales increased through 2017 and began leveling out and decreasing through the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Over the same time period, existing home sales increased and there washas been a consistent decline in total housing inventory. inventory and increase in average home prices. The combination of reduced housing inventory, increasing mortgage interest rates and increasing home prices has led the MBA to lower mortgage origination forecasts in recent months.
In 2017the remainder of 2018 and beyond, increasedincreasing mortgage interest rates driven by gradual increases in the target federal funds rate are expected to adversely impact mortgage originations. In a rising interest rate environment, refinance transactions are expected

to continue to decline. The MBA predicts overall mortgage originations in 20172018 through 20192020 will decreaseremain relatively flat compared to the 20162017 period due todriven by a decrease in refinance transactions, offset by a slightgradual increase in purchase transactions. Purchase transactions involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy, resulting in higher title premiums, whereas refinance transactions only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower title premiums.
While projected increases in mortgage interest rates present a potential headwind for mortgage originations, other economic indicators used to measure the health of the United States economy, including the unemployment rate and consumer confidence, have improved in recent years. According to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate has dropped from 7.4% in 2013 to 4.2%a historically low 3.7% in September 2017.2018. Additionally, the Conference Board's monthly Consumer Confidence Index rose sharply at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 and has remained at historical highshistorically high levels through 2017.2018. We believe that improvementscontinued strong readings in both of these economic indicators, among other indicators whichthat support a generally improvingstrong United States economy, present potential tailwinds for mortgage originations and support recent home price trends.originations.
We cannot be certain how if at all, the positive effects of a change in mix of purchase to refinance transactions and of a generally improvingstrong United States economy and the negative effects of projected decreasesstagnant levels of mortgage originations and increases in overall originationsinterest rates will impact our future results of operations. We continually monitor mortgage origination trends and believe that, based on our ability to produce industry leading operating margins through all economic cycles, we are well positioned to adjust our operations for adverse changes in real estate activity.
Because commercial real estate transactions tend to be generally driven by supply and demand for commercial space and occupancy rates in a particular area rather than by interest rate fluctuations, we believe that our commercial real estate title insurance business is less dependent on the industry cycles discussed above than our residential real estate title business. Commercial real estate transaction volume is also often linked to the availability of financing. For severalOver the last few years, we have continued to experience strong demand in commercial real estate markets. In 2015 through 2015, we experienced continual year-over-year increases in the fee per file of commercial transactions. In 2016, we experienced a slight decrease in2017, the volume and fee per filefee-per-file of our commercial transactions as compared to 2015, but commercial markets still remainedwere at historically elevated levels.historical highs. Through 2017,the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have continued to see strong demand for commercial transactions and have experienced historically high fees per file.transactions.
Seasonality. Historically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue fluctuations in the real estate industry. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The second and third calendar quarter isquarters are typically the strongest quarterquarters in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of

home sales residential transactions in the spring and summer months. The fourth quarter is typically also strong due to the desire of commercial entities to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short-term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates.
FNFV
Restaurant Group
The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions; public safety conditions or concerns; demographic trends; weather conditions; the cost of food products, labor, energy and other operating costs; and governmental regulations. Higher labor costs due to state and local minimum wage increases and shopping pattern shifts to e-commerce and “ready to eat” grocery and convenience stores have had a negative impact on restaurant performance, particularly in the casual and family dining segments in which the company operates.  
The restaurant industry is also characterized by high capital investments for new restaurants and relatively high fixed or semi-variable restaurant operating expenses.  Because of the high fixed and semi-variable expenses, changes in sales in existing restaurants are generally expected to significantly affect restaurant profitability because many restaurant costs and expenses are not expected to change at the same rate as sales.  Restaurant profitability can also be negatively affected by inflationary and regulatory increases in operating costs and other factors.  The most significant commodities that may affect our cost of food and beverage are beef, seafood, poultry, and dairy, which accounted for approximately half of our overall cost of food and beverage in the past. Generally, temporary increases in these costs are not passed on to guests; however, in the past, we have adjusted menu prices to compensate for increased costs of a more permanent nature.
Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.
Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate. Our revenues in future periods are also subject to an anticipated Split-Off Plan, as described under Recent Developments in Note A Basis of Financial Statements.

Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of Personnel costs; Other operating expenses, which in our title business are incurred as orders are received and processed; and Agent commissions, which are incurred as title agency revenue is recognized; and Cost of restaurant revenue.recognized. Title insurance premiums, escrow and title-related fees are generally recognized as income at the time the underlying transaction closes or other service is provided. Direct title operations revenue often lags approximately 45-60 days behind expenses and therefore gross margins may fluctuate. The changes in the market environment, mix of business between direct and agency operations and the contributions from our various business units have historically impacted margins and net earnings. We have implemented programs and have taken necessary actions to maintain expense levels consistent with revenue

streams. However, a short-term lag exists in reducing controllable fixed costs and certain fixed costs are incurred regardless of revenue levels.
Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. Personnel costs that are directly attributable to the operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue.
Agent commissions represent the portion of premiums retained by our third-party agents pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts.
Other operating expenses consist primarily of facilities expenses, title plant maintenance, premium taxes (which insurance underwriters are required to pay on title premiums in lieu of franchise and other state taxes), appraisal fees and other cost of sales

The Provision for title claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title and title-related claims, and escrow losses.
The change in expenses from the FNF Group segments and FNFVattributable to our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below. 
Income tax expense was $74$51 million and $88 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and $355$104 million and $218$258 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 33%17.8% and 36%36.4% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and 41%15.1% and 35%40.1% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings, such as the weighting of operating income versus investment income. The increase inOn December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). Among other provisions, the Tax Reform Act reduced the Federal statutory corporate income tax as a percentage of earnings before income taxesrate from 35% to 21% and limited or eliminated certain deductions. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the 2018 periods from the nine-monthcomparative 2017 periods is primarily attributable to the decreased federal tax rate associated with the passage of the Tax Reform Act. The decrease in the three month period is also attributable to an $8 million reversal of certain tax contingencies in the period and for certain return-to-provision adjustments. The decrease in the nine month period was also attributable to a $45 million change in tax estimate in the three-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162018 regarding the timing of payments for, and tax rate applicable to, our tax liability resulting from the comparabledecrease in our statutory premium reserves associated with the redomestication of certain of our title insurance underwriters in 2017 period was primarily driven by the sale of OneDigital, nondeductible legal and regulatory expenses incurred in the period, and increased tax expense of $21 million in the 2017 period resulting from a change in judgment of the tax deductibility of legal and regulatory settlements finalized in the 2017 period.
Equity in lossesearnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $3$1 million and $7$3 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and $7$4 million and $6$7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.

Title premiums from direct operations increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 as compared to the corresponding periodsperiod in 2016.2017. The increase in both periods is primarily attributable to an increase in the fee per file driven by a favorable change in the mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions, partially offset by a decrease in overall closed order volume. We experienced an increase inflat closed title insurance order volumes from purchase transactions which was more than offset byand a decrease in closed title insurance order volumes from refinance transactions in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2016.2017. Total closed order volumes were 339,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with 367,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 1,014,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with 1,071,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared with 433,000 and 1,156,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.2017. This represented an overall decrease of 15%8% and 7%5%, respectively. OpenOpened title orders changed consistentlyorder volumes trended directionally consistent with closed orders over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2016. order volumes.
The average fee per file in our direct operations was $2,623 and $2,521 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $2,368 and $2,320 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,, respectively, compared to $2,015 and $2,055 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. respectively. The increase in average fee per file in both periods reflects the favorable change in mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions. The fee per file tends to change as the mix of refinance and purchase transactions changes, because purchase transactions involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy, resulting in higher fees, whereas refinance transactions only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower fees.
The increase in titleTitle premiums from agency operations is primarilyincreased $3 million, or less than 1%, in the result of an increasethree months ended September 30, 2018 and decreased $10 million, or less than 1%, in remitted agency premiums that reflects an improving residential purchase environmentthe nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding period in many markets throughout the country. The increase also reflects a concerted effort by management to increase remittances with existing agents as well as cultivate new relationships with potential new agents while reducing unprofitable agency relationships.2017.

Interest and investment income levels are primarily a function of securities markets, interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment. Interest and investment income increased by $3$14 million in the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and decreased by $1increased $35 million in the nine months ended September 30, 20172018, compared to the corresponding periods in 2016.2017. The increase in the three-month period wasis primarily driven by increased interest rates earned in our tax-deferred property exchange business, interest earned on short-term investments, and increased interest on our fixed maturity holdings and other long-term investments, partially offset by a decrease in our fixed maturity holdings period over period.
Realized gains and losses, net increased $40 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and increased $19 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the comparable periods in 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of non-cash valuation gains on our equity security holdings in the 2018 periods associated with the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the comparable 2017 period was partially offset by the inclusion of gains of $8 million on sales of other long term investments in the 2017 period.

The increase in personnel cost as a percentage of total revenues from direct title premiums and escrow, title-related and other fees was primarily impacted by the January 1, 2017 realignment of Property Insight to us from Black Knight which resulted in reduced other operating expense offset by increased personnel expense within our Title segment.

The claim loss provision for title insurance was $64$58 million and $70$64 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and reflects an average provision rate of 5.0%4.5% and 5.5%5.0% of title premiums, respectively. The claim loss provision for title insurance was $181$165 million and $190$181 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and reflects an average provision rate of 5.0%4.5% and 5.5%5.0% of title premiums, in the 2017 and 2016 periods, respectively. We continually monitor and evaluate our loss provision level, actual claims paid, and the loss reserve position each quarter. This loss provision rate is set to provide for losses on current year policies, but due to development of prior years and our long claim duration, it periodically includes amounts of estimated adverse or positive development on prior years' policies. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we revised our loss provision rate to 5.0% from 5.5% based upon an analysis of historical ultimate loss ratios, the reduced volatility of development of those historical ultimate loss ratios, and lower policy year loss ratios in recent years.
FNF Group Corporate and Other
The FNF Group Corporate and Other segment consists of the operations of the parent holding company, certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses, and other smaller real estate and insurance related operations.
The FNF Group Corporate and Other segment generated revenues of $114 million and $83 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $329 million and $201 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The revenue in all periods represents revenue generated by our real estate brokerage subsidiaries and other real estate related companies offset by the elimination of certain revenues between segments. The increase of $31 million, or 37%, in the three-month period and the increase of $128 million, or 64%, in the nine-month period are primarily attributable to the acquisition of Commissions, Inc. ("CINC") and to revenue growth and acquisitions by Pacific Union, a luxury real estate broker based in California in which we have a 66% ownership interest. The increase in the nine-month period was also driven by a $15 million increase related to recording one additional month of results of operations during the second quarter of 2017 for our real estate brokerages in order to catch up their results which were previously reported on a one-month lag.

Both periods reflect expenses at our real estate brokerage subsidiaries and other real estate related companies. The increase of $35 million, or 58%, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from the corresponding 2016 period and the increase of $118 million, or 78%, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from the corresponding 2016 period are primarily attributable to the acquisition of CINC and growth and acquisitions at Pacific Union. The increase in the nine-month period was also driven by a $14 million increase related to recording one additional month of results of operations in the 2017 period for our real estate brokerages in order to catch up their results which were previously reported on a one-month lag.

The increase is partially attributable to growth and acquisitions in our real estate technology businesses resulting in increased revenue of $8 million and $28 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 respectively, from the comparable 2017 periods. The segment includes revenues of $81 million and $84 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $264 million and $243 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for Pacific Union and its subsidiaries.
Realized gains and losses, net increased $11 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and decreased $28 million, or 3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from the corresponding periods in 2016. The decrease for the nine month period is primarily attributable to lower same store sales and, to a lesser extent, the sale of the Max & Erma's concept in January 2016.
Cost of restaurant revenue increased by $6 million, or 3%, in the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and increased $1$16 million or less than 1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018 from the comparable periods in 2017.

FNFV Corporate and Other
The FNFV Corporate and Other segment includes our share in theresults of operations of certain equity investments, including Ceridian; OneDigital, through May 5, 2017, the date it was sold;both FNFV and other smaller operations which are not title-related. This segment also includes our Investment Success Incentive Program ("ISIP") which is tied to monetization or liquidity events producing realized or realizable economic gains relating to our investments.
The FNFV Corporate and Other segment generated revenues of $13 million and $47 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $387 million and $142 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease of $34 million in the three-month period is primarily attributable to the sale of OneDigital and the exclusion of its results in the 2017 period. The increase of $245 million in the nine-month period is primarily attributable to the gain on sale of One Digital of $276 million, offset by the aforementioned factors driving the decrease in the comparable three-month period.
Other operating expenses were $9 million and $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $34 million and $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Personnel costs were $6 million and $29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $97 million and $80 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in the three-month period is primarily attributable to the sale of OneDigital and the exclusion of its results in the 2017 period. The increase in the nine-month period is primarily attributable to ISIP bonuses related to the sale of OneDigital, acquisitions and growth at OneDigital prior to its sale, and to costs associated with smaller FNFV acquisitions in the current year, offset by the aforementioned decrease in the three-month period.
This segment generated pretax (loss) earnings of $(2) million and $0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $242 million and $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, claim payments, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, stock repurchases and dividends on our common stock. We paid dividends of $0.25$0.30 per share in the third quarter of 2017,2018, or approximately $68$82 million to our FNF Group common shareholders. On October 25, 2017,24, 2018, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.27$0.30 per share, payable on December 29, 2017,28, 2018, to FNF Group common shareholders of record as of December 15, 2017.14, 2018. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as described below. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Additional uses of cash flow are expected to include acquisitions, stock repurchases and debt repayments.
We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to the amount of our dividend, reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, making acquisitions and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, through cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets and borrowings on existing credit facilities. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to ensure that we can meet our cash requirements. We forecast the needs of all of our subsidiaries and periodically review their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts. 
Our insurance subsidiaries generate cash from premiums earned and their respective investment portfolios, and these funds are adequate to satisfy the payments of claims and other liabilities. Due to the magnitude of our investment portfolio in relation to our title claim loss reserves, we do not specifically match durations of our investments to the cash outflows required to pay claims, but do manage outflows on a shorter time frame.
Our two significant sources of internally generated funds are dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we receive cash from our subsidiaries in the form of dividends and as reimbursement for operating and other administrative expenses we incur. The reimbursements are paid within the guidelines of management agreements among us and our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries are restricted by state regulation in their ability to pay dividends and make distributions. Each applicable state of domicile regulates the extent to which our title underwriters can pay dividends or make other distributions. As of December 31, 2016, $2,1492017, $1,700 million of our net assets were restricted from dividend payments without prior approval from the relevant departments of insurance. Effective March 1, 2017, three of the Company’s title insurance underwriters, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, redomesticated

from their former states of domicile to Florida. In conjunction with the Redomestication, the Company received a special dividend from these title insurance underwriters of $280 million on March 15, 2017. We anticipate that our title insurance subsidiaries will pay or make dividends in the remainder of 20172018 of approximately $153$89 million. Our underwritten title companies and non-insurance subsidiaries are not regulated to the same extent as our insurance subsidiaries.
The maximum dividend permitted by law is not necessarily indicative of an insurer’s actual ability to pay dividends, which may be constrained by business and regulatory considerations, such as the impact of dividends on surplus, which could affect an insurer’s ratings or competitive position, the amount of premiums that can be written and the ability to pay future dividends. Further, depending on business and regulatory conditions, we may in the future need to retain cash in our underwriters or even contribute cash to one or more of them in order to maintain their ratings or their statutory capital position. Such a requirement could be the result of investment losses, reserve charges, adverse operating conditions in the current economic environment or changes in statutory accounting requirements by regulators.
Cash flow from FNF Group'sour operations will be used for general corporate purposes including to reinvest in core operations, repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase stock, pursue other strategic initiatives and/or conserve cash.
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 totaled $566$671 million and $745$563 million, respectively. The decreaseincrease of $179$108 million is primarily attributable to increaseddecreased payments for income taxes in the current period of $51$160 million, increased pre-tax earnings of $45 million and the payment of legal settlements of $65 million increased payments for certain prepaid assets, and unfavorable timing of various payables,in the 2017 period, partially offset by increased net earnings.$115 million of cash flow from operating activities attributable to discontinued operations in the 2017 period. The remaining variance is attributable to timing of receipt and payment of receivables and payables.
Investing Cash Flows. Our cash (used in) provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 were $1$(42) million and $(292)$178 million, respectively.

The decrease in cash provided by (decrease(increase in cash used in) investing activities of $293$220 million fromin the 20172018 period compared to the 20162017 period is primarily attributable to a $253 million decrease in net inflows from the sales of, and distributions from, equity and fixed income investments, net of purchases and additional investments in unconsolidated investees in the 2018 period and proceeds from FNFV's sale of its subsidiary for $325 million in the 2017 period, partially offset by increased proceeds from the sale of OneDigitalproperty and equipment of $325$19 million, a $260 million decrease in spending onlower cash paid for acquisitions of businesses, a reduction in investments made in unconsolidated affiliates of $103$200 million and a reductiondecreased capital expenditures of $76 million in spending on fixed assetsthe 2018 period compared to the corresponding period in 2017.

Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 were $895$317 million and $476$832 million, respectively. The increasedecrease in cash used in financing activities of $419$515 million from the 20172018 period to the 20162017 period is primarily attributable to the $87 million of cash transferred as a result of the spin-off of Black Knight, increaseddecreased net debt principalservice payments, net of borrowings, of $160$465 million, and decreased equity repurchases of both FNF and Black Knight stock of $69 million, partially offset by a decrease in the change in secured trust deposits of $58 million and an increase in dividends paid of $33 million, payment of premiums to repurchase convertible Notes of $317 million in the 2017 period, and repurchases of BKFS stock by Black Knight of $47 million in the 2017 period, offset by a reduction in spending on treasury stock repurchases of $228$42 million.
Financing Arrangements. For a description of our financing arrangements see Note EE. Notes Payable included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased $229 million of principal of our 4.25% convertible senior notes due August 2018 ("Notes") for $548 million. As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding Notes of $68 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Seasonality.Historically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue levels for the real estate industry including title insurers. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The third calendar quarter has been typically the strongest in terms of revenue primarily due to a higher volume of home sales in the summer months and the fourth quarter is usually also strong due to commercial entities desiring to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates.
In our Restaurant Group, average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.
Contractual Obligations. There have been no significant changes to our long-term contractual obligations since our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed on February 27, 2017, other than our entry into the Equity Commitment Letters with CFCOU as described in2017.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20172018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See discussion of legal proceedings in Note FF. Commitment and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the significant risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report, we identified the following additional risk as a result of the pending Stewart Merger. See "Recent Developments" in Note A. Basis of Financial Statements to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this report for further discussion of the Stewart Merger.
Our pending acquisition of Stewart may expose us to certain risks.
On March 19, 2018, we signed a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Stewart Information Services Corporation ("Stewart") (NYSE: STC) (the "Stewart Merger"). The closing of the Stewart Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, federal and state regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Closing of the Stewart Merger is expected in the first or second quarter of 2019. If the Stewart Merger is not completed for failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals, we are required to pay a reverse break-up fee of $50 million to Stewart. If the Stewart Merger is completed, we may face challenges in integrating Stewart. These challenges include eliminating redundant operations, facilities and systems, coordinating management and personnel, retaining key employees, managing different corporate cultures, and achieving cost reductions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to fully integrate all aspects of the acquired business successfully, and the process of integrating this acquisition may disrupt our business and divert our resources.
