JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF) (the Company), a leading provider of title insurance and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries and a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients through FNF's wholly-owned subsidiary, F&G, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Net earnings attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of $289 million, or $1.05 per diluted share (per share), compared to $732 million, or $2.57 per share, for the third quarter of 2021.  Net earnings attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2022 includes $42 million of net favorable mark-to-market effects and $48 million of other unfavorable items; all of which are excluded from adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders.  Net earnings attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2021 included $224 million of one-time favorable adjustment from an actuarial system conversion, $130 million of net unfavorable mark-to-market effects and $25 million of other unfavorable items; all of which are excluded from adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings) for the third quarter of $295 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to $663 million, or $2.33 per share, for the third quarter of 2021.  For the third quarter of 2022, the Title segment contributed $298 million, F&G contributed $12 million and the Corporate segment had an adjusted net loss of $15 million.  For the third quarter of 2021, the Title segment contributed $521 million, F&G contributed $160 million and the Corporate segment had an adjusted net loss of $18 million.  The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily a result of Title's considerable decline in refinance volume, representing trough level activity, and moderating residential purchase volume; partially offset by higher average fee per file and healthy volume of commercial orders closed, and lower earnings from F&G driven by a new reporting presentation for alternatives investment portfolio mark-to-market. 

Effective this quarter, presentations of adjusted net earnings for F&G will no longer include the alternative investment yield adjustment to normalize alternative investment portfolio returns.  Prior periods are presented on a comparable basis to reflect the new definition of adjusted net earnings.  Please see "Segment Financial Results" for F&G for further explanation and "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" for a comparison of adjusted net earnings under the former and new definition.

Company Highlights

  • Solid Title Revenue despite challenging environment: For the Title segment, total revenue of $2.3 billion, compared with $2.9 billion in total revenue in the third quarter of 2021. Total revenue, excluding recognized gains and losses, of $2.3 billion, compared with $3.1 billion in the third quarter of 2021
  • Strong sales for F&G continue: Total gross sales of $2.9 billion for the third quarter, a 7% decrease from third quarter 2021 and second quarter 2022; reflects record retail sales, partially offset by lower institutional sales which we expect to be lumpier and more opportunistic than in our retail channels
  • Partial spin-off of F&G remains on track: The previously announced transaction to distribute 15% ownership of F&G to FNF shareholders on a pro rata basis remains on track to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that a Registration Statement on Form 10 filed by F&G with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is declared effective
  • Ample deployable capital supports shareholder value: FNF has repurchased 5.3 million shares for $205 million, at an average price of $38.74 per share, in the third quarter and paid common dividends at $0.44 per share for $120 million. On September 1, 2022, FNF retired all of the $400 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes upon maturity. FNF ended the third quarter with $1.1 billion in cash and short-term liquid investments at the holding company. As announced last week, the board of directors has increased the quarterly cash dividend to $0.45 per share, payable December 30, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2022

William P. Foley, II, commented, "Our Title results for the third quarter moderated from the prior year's record performance as higher mortgage rates pressured title volumes across the industry.  That said, our management team continued to deliver solid results having achieved total revenue of $3.2 billion while aggressively reducing expenses to protect FNF's margins in a more challenging environment.  While rising rates are pressuring the housing sector, they are proving to be a tailwind to F&G's results as assets under management grew to $42 billion at September 30, 2022.  Looking forward, we remain on track to dividend 15% of F&G to FNF shareholders over the coming weeks, which we believe will begin to unlock the significant value that Chris and his team have created over the last two years."

Mr. Foley concluded, "While the Federal Reserve continues on their aggressive interest rate tightening cycle to combat persistently high inflation, investors have become increasingly concerned that the risks of a recession are rising which has led to significant market volatility through the third quarter.  During challenging environments such as these, I have always stressed the importance of maintaining a fortress like balance sheet with ample liquidity to take advantage of market dislocations.  To that end, we paid off all of our $400 million Senior Notes which matured on September 1st leaving FNF with a debt to capitalization ratio, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, of 23%.  We also accelerated the pace of our share buyback having repurchased $205 million shares, as compared to $172 million in the second quarter.  Year to date, we have returned $876 million of capital to our shareholders, through $511 million of shares repurchase and $365 million of common dividends, while ending the third quarter with $1.1 billion of cash and short-term liquid investments.  We remain in a strong liquidity position and ready to capitalize on strategically aligned opportunities as they present themselves."

Segment Financial Results

Title

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

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

Mike Nolan, Chief Executive Officer, said, "While mortgage rates have experienced one of the fastest increases ever, we continued to manage our business to react quickly to adjust to order volumes and have delivered adjusted pre-tax Title earnings of $400 million and an adjusted pre-tax margin of 17.1%.  Strength in the commercial market where we delivered record revenue of $381 million for a third quarter helped to buffer declines in the residential purchase and refinance markets.  Importantly, we believe refinance volumes are at or near trough levels while commercial volumes remain healthy though slowing.  We remain confident in our ability to navigate the challenges of operating in a cyclical business and our strong balance sheet allows us to not only withstand periods of dislocation but take advantage of opportunities to build our Title business for the long term."

  • Total revenue of $2.3 billion, compared with $2.9 billion in total revenue in the third quarter of 2021
  • Total revenue, excluding recognized gains and losses, of $2.3 billion, a 24% decrease compared with the third quarter of 2021

Third Quarter 2022

Chris Blunt, President and Chief Executive Officer of F&G, commented, "F&G had another solid quarter.  We generated total gross sales of $2.9 billion which, in turn, drove our assets under management to $42 billion.  In the retail channels, we generated a record $2.3 billion of sales, up 45% from the prior year.  In addition to increased demand from rising interest rates, our Retail sales volume reflects expanding relationships with new and existing distribution partners in the agent, bank and broker dealer channels while maintaining a disciplined approach to pricing.  Momentum continues in our institutional channels as we placed over $0.6 billion in pension risk transfer transactions, including our first repeat transaction."

Regarding the recently announced transaction to distribute 15% ownership of F&G to FNF shareholders, Mr. Blunt said, "We are on track for a targeted closing in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and our board of directors has approved the initiation of a dividend program under which F&G intends to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock at an initial aggregate amount of approximately $100 million per year, commencing in early 2023.  Overall, we are well positioned for future growth opportunities and view the transition to being a publicly traded company as a vote of confidence for our business."

  • Total gross sales of $2.9 billion for the third quarter, a decrease of 7% from the third quarter 2021 and second quarter 2022; reflects record retail sales, partially offset by lower institutional sales which we expect to be lumpier and more opportunistic than in our retail channels

  • Average assets under management (AAUM) of $41.1 billion for the third quarter, an increase of 26% from $32.6 billion in the third quarter 2021, driven by net new business flows. Ending assets under management were $42.0 billion as of September 30, 2022

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax title earnings, adjusted pre-tax title earnings as a percentage of adjusted title revenue (adjusted pre-tax title margin), adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings), assets under management (AUM), average assets under management (AAUM) and sales. 

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

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

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings, net earnings attributable to common shareholders, net earnings per share, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The risks and uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are not limited to: the potential impact of the consummation of the F&G transaction on relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business, political and COVID-19 conditions, including changes in the financial markets; 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; our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as a main source of cash flow; significant competition that F&G and our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries; and other risks detailed in the "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information," "Risk Factors" and other sections of FNF's Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

DEFINITIONS  

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

Adjusted Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders (Adjusted Net Earnings)

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

  1.  
    1. Recognized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses, recognized in operations; and the effect of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative;
    2. Indexed product related derivatives: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost;
    3. Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of distribution asset ("VODA")) recognized as a result of acquisition activities;
    4. Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items; 
    5. Certain income tax adjustments: the impacts related to unusual tax items that do not reflect our core operating performance such as the establishment or reversal of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances in our Title and Corporate and Other segments;
    6. Other "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual items":  Management excludes certain items determined to be "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual" from adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is determined these expenses are not a reflection of the core business and when the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years and/or there was not a similar item in the preceding two years;
    7. Amortization of actuarial intangibles and SOP 03-1 reserve offset: The intangibles amortization and SOP 03-1 change offsets related to the above mentioned adjustments; and
    8. Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction.

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

Assets Under Management (AUM)

AUM is calculated as the sum of:

  1.  
    1. total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding derivatives, net of reinsurance qualifying for risk transfer in accordance with GAAP;
    2. related party loans and investments;
    3. accrued investment income;
    4. the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments, and
    5. cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one.

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

Average Assets Under Management (AAUM)

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

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

Sales 

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