Recent Developments
Pending Acquisition of Stewart
On March 18, 2018, we signed a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Stewart Information Services Corporation ("Stewart") (NYSE: STC) (the "Stewart Merger"), pursuant to which each share of Stewart common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Stewart Merger (other than shares owned by Stewart, its subsidiaries, FNF or the wholly-owned subsidiaries of FNF party to the Merger Agreement and shares in respect of which appraisal rights have been properly exercised and perfected under Delaware law), will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share, (i) $50.00 in cash, (ii) 1.2850 shares of FNF common stock, or (iii) $25.00 in cash and 0.6425 shares of FNF common stock, subject to potential adjustment (as described below) and proration to the extent the option to receive cash or the option to receive stock is oversubscribed.
FNF currently intends to fund the $1.2 billion purchase price through a combination of cash on hand at FNF, the issuance of FNF common stock to 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 $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 the transaction.
Under the. The material 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 downand progress 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 failurethrough February 2019 are set forth in our Annual Report.
We continue to obtainrespond to 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"Federal Trade Commission's ("FTC").
On May 31, 2018, we received a request for additional information and documentary material often referred(referred to as a “Second Request,” from the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”'Second Request') in connection. We have also filed a new Form A application with the FTC’s Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements ActNew York State Department of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”),Financial Services, which disapproved a prior application, to acquire control of Stewart Title Insurance Company. We will continue to respond to the FTC's Second Request and maintain discussions with all other relevant regulatory reviewbodies to seek approval of the Stewart Merger.
The special meeting of Stewart stockholders to vote on the Stewart Merger was held on September 5, 2018 and a majority of the Stewart stockholders voted to approve the Stewart Merger. More than 99% of the votes cast, representing approximately 79% of the outstanding shares of Stewart common stock as of July 10, 2018, the record date for the special meeting, were cast in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement.

On August 21, 2018, we received a “no-action letter” from the Canadian Competition Bureau (the “Bureau”), indicating that the Bureau does not intend to oppose completion of the Stewart Merger.
We continue to work through the regulatory process for the Stewart Merger and are currently engaged in the Second Request related to the FTC's HSR Act regulatory review of the transaction. Responses to nearly all the FTC's requests for information and documentation have been submitted. The Form A filings with the states of Texas and New York are being reviewed by those states.
The closing of the Stewart Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including federal and state regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Closing of
Note Receivable from Cannae
In November 2017, in conjunction with the Stewart Merger is expected in the first or second quarter of 2019.
Other Developments
On September 24, 2018, we closed on the sale of allsplit-off of our 62% equity interestformer portfolio company investments into a separate company, Cannae Holdings, Inc. ("Cannae"), we issued to Cannae a revolver note (the "Cannae Revolver") in and notes outstanding from, Pacific Union International, Inc. ("Pacific Union"), a luxury real estate broker based in California, and its subsidiaries to Urban Compass, Inc. ("Compass") for $43 million in cash and up to $21 million in potential earnout payments (the "Pacific Union Sale"). The potential earnout payments range in value from $0 to $21 million, are based on certain gross profit and earnings targets for Pacific Union and are payable in approximately 60% cash and 40% Compass stock annually over the course of the next three years. Compass was not a related party prior to, and is not a related party subsequent to, the Pacific Union Sale.
On August 13, 2018, we completed an offering of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of notes due August 2028 with statedup to $100 million. Cannae is considered a related party to FNF.
The Cannae Revolver accrues interest quarterly at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and matures on the five-year anniversary from the date of 4.50%. See Note E. Notes Payableissuance. The maturity date is automatically extended for further details.additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion.
On February 7, 2019, Cannae borrowed $100 million from FNF under the Cannae Revolver.
We account for the Cannae Revolver as a financing receivable. Interest income is recorded ratably in periods in which principal is outstanding. Uncollectible financing receivables are written off or impaired when, based on all available information, it is probable that a loss has occurred. As of March 31, 2019, there are no indications that a future loss is probable.
Earnings Per Share     
Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders in a given period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. 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 optionsinstruments outstanding during the three- or nine-monththree-month periods ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 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. As 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, 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.March 31, 2018.
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 adopted these revenue standards on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. 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 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

8

Table of Contents
FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

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 adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2018, which resulted in the reclassification of our unrealized gains and losses on our equity and preferred securities available for sale previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning retained earnings. Changes in the fair value of our investments in equity and preferred securities subsequent to January 1, 2018 are now included in Realized gains and losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note D. Investments for further details. We reclassified a total of $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 ASUAccounting Standards Update ("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 allows 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements which allows entities the option to adopt this standard prospectivelyusing a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity at the adoption date and include required disclosures for prior periods.
We have identified a vendor with software suited to track and account for leases under the new 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. However, while we are still completing our analysis, we do not anticipate that adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated statements of earnings. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for leased office space. We plan to prospectively adopt this standardadopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and recorded lease right-of-use assets ("Lease assets") of $421 million and liabilities for future discounted lease payment obligations ("Lease liabilities") of $437 million at the date of adoption. The adoption also resulted in a decrease of $9 million and $25 million to useour Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. We elected to apply the following package of practical expedients available upon adoption.on a consistent basis permitting entities not to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the amended guidance.  
OtherSee Note K. Leases for further discussion of our leasing arrangements and related accounting.
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on

Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to accounting for credit impairment of financial instruments. 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 fixed 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 still evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. We do not plan to early adopt the standard.
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 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.

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 reserve within a reasonable range of our actuary's central estimate.

Our Level 2 fair value measures for preferred securities and fixed maturity securities available for sale are provided by a third-party pricing service. We utilize one firm for our preferred stock and our bond portfolios. The pricing service is a leading global provider of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. The inputs utilized in these pricing methodologies include observable measures such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. We review the pricing methodologies for all of our Level 2 securities by obtaining an understanding of the valuation models and assumptions used by the third-party as well as independently comparing the resulting prices to other publicly available measures of fair value and internally developed models. The pricing methodologies used by the relevant third-party pricing services are as follows:
U.S. government and agencies: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers.
State and political subdivisions: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers. Factors considered include relevant trade information, dealer quotes and other relevant market data.
Corporate debt securities: These securities are valued based on dealer quotes and related market trading activity. Factors considered include the bond's yield, its terms and conditions, or any other feature which may influence its risk and thus marketability, as well as relative credit information and relevant sector news.
Foreign government bonds: These securities are valued based on a discounted cash flow model incorporating observable market inputs such as available broker quotes and yields of comparable securities.
Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities: These securities are comprised of commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities. They are valued

Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities: These securities are comprised of commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities. They are valued based on available trade information, dealer quotes, cash flows, relevant indices and market data for similar assets in active markets.
Preferred securities: Preferred securities are valued by calculating the appropriate spread over a comparable U.S. Treasury security. Inputs include benchmark quotes and other relevant market data.
In 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. See discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note A. Basis of Financial Statements for further information on the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01.
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, 2018March 31, 2019 was a range of 7.9%7.8% - 8.1%8.2% 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,March 31, 2019, changes in the discount rate utilized will not result in a fair value significantly different than the amount recorded.
Our Level 3 fair value measures for our corporate debt securities relate to multiple investments which are considered immaterial individually and in the aggregate.
The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair values of Level 3 assets, measured on a recurring basis, for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018.

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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, 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 transfersTransfers 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 DecemberMarch 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, we held no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

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.
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$10 million and $2$11 million as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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 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’sits agents on how to interpret the rate rule so that it would be uniformly applied, thereby having engaged in “deceptive conduct.” The Company plans to seek an interlocutory reviewappeal 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. BriefingFollowing briefing and oral argument on these issues, is ongoing, with oral argument scheduled for December 3, 2018.the court held that a multiplier of 1.5, not treble, should be applied to the amount of damages, if any, proven by class members at trial. The court also held that plaintiffs should bear the responsibility of identifying class members and calculating damages. The interlocutory appeal of the summary judgment order will now proceed. 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. We do not anticipate such fines and settlements, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Note J — Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASCAccounting Standard Codification ("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. Revenues from real estate appraisal services are recognized when all appraisal work is complete, a final report is issued to the client and the client is billed. Revenues from foreclosure processing and facilitation services are primarily recognized upon completion of the services and when billing to the client is complete.
Real estate brokerage revenues are primarily comprised of commission revenues earned in association with the facilitation of real estate transactions and are recognized upon closing of the sale of the underlying real estate transaction.

A summaryRight-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases under ASC Topic 842 are recorded when we are party to a contract which conveys the right for the Company to control an asset for a specified period of time. Substantially all of our operating lease arrangements relate to rented office space and real estate for our title operations. We generally are not a party to any material contracts considered finance leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities under ASC Topic 842 are recorded as Lease assets and Lease liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.
Our operating leases range in term from one to ten years. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating leases was 4.1 years.
Our lease agreements do not contain material variable lease payments, buyout options, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by varying amounts. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We do not include options to renew in our measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as they are not considered reasonably assured of exercise.
Our operating lease liability is determined by discounting future lease payments using a discount rate based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar collateralized borrowing. The discount rate is calculated as an average of the operationscurrent yield on our unsecured notes payable and 140 basis points in excess of Black Knightthe current five year LIBOR swap rate. As of March 31, 2019 the weighted-average discount rate used to determine our operating lease liability was 4.36%.
We do not separate lease components from nonlease components for any of our right-of-use assets.

FNFV
As a result of the FNFV Split-Off we have reclassified the financial results of FNFV Group to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Subsequent to the FNFV Split-Off, Cannae is considered a related party to FNF. The cash inflows and outflows from and to Cannae as well as revenues andOther operating expenses included in continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 which were previously eliminated in our condensed consolidated financial statements as intra-entity transactions, are not material to our results of operations.
In conjunction with the FNFV Split-Off, FNTIC, Chicago Title, and Commonwealth Title contributed an aggregate of $100 million to Cannae in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock. As of September 30, 2018, we own approximately 7.9% of Cannae's outstanding common equity. In addition, we issued to Cannae a revolver note (the "Cannae Revolver") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, which accrues interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and matures on the five-year anniversary of the date of the Cannae Revolver. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion. As of September 30, 2018, there is no outstanding balance under the Cannae Revolver.
In connection with the FNFV Split-Off, the following material agreements were entered into by and between the Company and Cannae (the “Split-Off Agreements”):
a Reorganization Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2017, by and between the Company and Cannae, which provides for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between the Company and Cannae with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off;
a Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2017, by and between the Company and Cannae, which governs the Company’s and Cannae’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes and tax benefits, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax matters; and
a Voting Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2017, by and between the Company and Cannae, pursuant to which the Company agrees to appear or cause all shares of Cannae common stock that the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, own after the Split-Off to be counted as present at any meeting of the stockholders of Cannae for the purpose of establishing a quorum, and agrees to vote all of such shares of Cannae common stock (or cause them to be voted) in

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; the risk that the necessary regulatory approvals for the Stewart Merger may not be obtained or may be obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; risks that any of the closing conditions to the proposed 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, 20172018 and other filings with the SEC.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
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.
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 16, 2018,April 18, 2019, the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") estimated (actual for fiscal year 2017)2018) the size of the U.S. mortgage originations market as shown in the following table for 20172018 - 2021 in its "Mortgage Finance Forecast" (in trillions):

In 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,In 2018, average interest rates on 30 year30-year, fixed-rate mortgages have risenin the U.S. rose from approximately 15%4.0% to 4.9% through October, representing an increase of 22%, before retreating to 4.55% in the last week of December according to rates published by mortgage buyer FreddieMac. RefinanceFreddie Mac. As a result of the overall upward trend in rates, refinance transactions decreased in both 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 in the first half, and decreasing throughin the nine months ended September 30,second half, of 2018. OverCoupled with stagnant levels of new home construction over the same time period, therethe result has been a consistent decline in total housing inventory and increase in average home prices. prices, albeit with decreasing magnitude toward the end of 2018. Through the first quarter of 2019, mortgage interest rates continued to decline to an average of 4.27% in March 2019.

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 the remainder of 2018for 2019 and beyond increasingduring the second half of 2018. Market volatility and the shift in mortgage interest rates driven by gradualin late 2018 and into the first quarter of 2019 have created uncertainty in forecasts of future mortgage interest rates and originations. As a result, in early 2019 the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated it will slow or stop its pace of increases into the target federal funds raterate. After accounting for the decrease in the first quarter of 2019, mortgage interest rates are generally expected to adversely impact mortgage originations.remain flat in the remaining three quarters of 2019. In a risingstagnant interest rate environment, refinance transactions are expected

to continue to decline.stagnate. However, it is difficult to predict whether the decrease in rates in late 2018 and early 2019 will create short term incentives for residential refinancing transactions. The MBA predicts overall mortgage originations in 20182019 through 20202021 will remain relatively flat compared to the 20172018 period driven by a decrease in refinance transactions, offset by a gradual increase in purchase transactions. Purchase transactions involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and that rates will return to an owner’s policy, resulting in higher title premiums, whereas refinance transactions only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower title premiums.upward trend.
While projected increases in mortgage interest rates present a potential headwind for mortgage originations, otherOther economic indicators used to measure the health of the United StatesU.S. economy, including the unemployment rate and consumer confidence, have improved in recent years.continued to indicate the U.S. economy remains on strong footing. According to the United StatesU.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate has dropped from 7.4% in 2013 towas at a historically low 3.7%3.8% in September 2018.March 2019. Additionally, the Conference Board's monthly Consumer Confidence Index has remained at historically high levels through 2018.the first quarter of 2019, despite a slight drop in late 2018 and early 2019. Toward the end of the fiscal year of 2018 and into 2019, there has been increased global economic uncertainty and stock market volatility. Such market uncertainty could ultimately impact U.S. real estate markets if they continue to worsen. We believe continued strong readings in both of thesedomestic U.S. economic indicators among other indicators that support a generally strong United States economy, present potential tailwinds for mortgage originations.originations, despite growing risks from global economic uncertainties.
We cannot be certain how the positive effects of a change in mix of purchase to refinance transactions and of a generally strong United StatesU.S. economy and the negative effects of stagnant levels offlat or slightly increasing mortgage interest rates and global economic uncertainty will impact mortgage originations and increases in interest rates will impact our future results of operations.operations from our residential business. 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. OverFactors including U.S. tax reform and a shift in U.S. monetary policy have had, or are expected to have, varying effects on availability of financing in the last fewU.S. Lower corporate and individual tax rates and corporate tax-deductibility of capital expenditures have provided increased capacity and incentive for investments in commercial real estate. Conversely, gradual increases in the Fed Funds Rate and the shift in late 2017 by the U.S. Federal Reserve to unwind its balance sheet are generally expected to adversely impact availability of financing by decreasing the overall money supply. In recent years, we have continued to experience strong demand in commercial real estate markets. Inmarkets and from 2015 through 2017, the volumeto 2018, we experienced historically high volumes and fee-per-file ofin our commercial transactions were at historical highs. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have continued to see strong demand for commercial transactions.business.
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 quarters are typically the strongest quarters in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of 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.

The change in revenue and net earnings from our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.    

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. 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. 
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

on ServiceLink product offerings and other title-related products, postage and courier services, computer services, professional services, travel expenses, general insurance, and bad debt expense on our trade and notes receivable. 
The Provision for title claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title and title-related claims, and escrow losses.
The change in expenses attributable to our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below. 
Income tax expense was $51$65 million and $88$31 million in the three-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $104 million and $258 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 17.8%24.6% and 36.4%24.4% for the three-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and 15.1% and 40.1% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 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. 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. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the 2018 periods from the comparative 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 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.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $1$7 million and $3$2 million for the three-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $4 million and $7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The equity in earnings in 20182019 and 20172018 are attributable to various individually immaterial unconsolidated affiliates.

Title premiums from direct operations increaseddecreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2017.2018. The increasedecrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in overall closed order volume, partially offset by 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. file.
We experienced flat closed title insurance order volumes from purchase transactions and a decrease in closed title insurance order volumes from both purchase and refinance transactions in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding periodsperiod in 2017.2018. Total closed order volumes were 339,000263,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 compared with 367,000313,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. This represented an overall decrease of 8% and 5%, respectively.16%. Opened title order volumes trended directionally consistent with closed order volumes.
The average fee per file in our direct operations was $2,623 and $2,521$2,567 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively,March 31, 2019 compared to $2,368 and $2,320$2,344 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.March 31, 2018. The increase in average fee per file reflects thea favorable change in mix of closed orders from purchase and refinance transactions and a favorable increase in average home prices of underlying 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.
Title premiums from agency operations increased $3decreased $12 million, or less than 1%2%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and decreased $10 million, or less than 1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2017.2018.

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 $14$11 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and increased $35 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019 compared to the corresponding periodsperiod in 2017.2018.

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 $0.30$0.31 per share in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, or approximately $82$85 million to our FNF common shareholders. On OctoberApril 24, 2018,2019, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.30$[0.31] per share, payable on DecemberJune 28, 2018,2019, to FNF common shareholders of record as of DecemberJune 14, 2018.2019. 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.
As of March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,123 million, short term investments of $213 million and available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $800 million. 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 Revolving Credit Facility. 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

Table of Contents


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, 2017, $1,7002018, $1,518 million of our net assets were restricted from dividend payments without prior approval from the relevant departments of insurance. We anticipate that our title insurance subsidiaries will pay or make dividends in the remainder of 20182019 of approximately $89$385 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 our operations will be used for general corporate purposes including to reinvest in operations, repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase stock, pursue other strategic initiatives and/or conserve cash.
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows (used in) provided by operations for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 totaled $671$(4) million and $563$18 million, respectively. The increasedecrease in cash provided by (increase in cash used in) operating activities of $108$22 million is primarily attributable to decreased payments for income taxes in the current period of $160 million, increased pre-tax earnings of $45 million and the payment of legal settlements of $65 million in the 2017 period, partially offset by $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 prepaid assets, receivables and payables.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See discussion of legal proceedings in Note F. 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.
