Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Financial Statements	Basis of Financial Statements The financial information in this report presented for interim periods is unaudited and includes the accounts of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” the "Company" or “FNF”) prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2020. Description of the Business We are a leading provider of (i) title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, including trust activities, trustee sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances and home warranty products, (ii) technology and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries and (iii) annuity and life insurance products. FNF is one of the nation’s largest title insurance companies operating through its title insurance underwriters - Fidelity National Title Insurance Company ("FNTIC"), Chicago Title Insurance Company ("Chicago Title"), Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company ("Commonwealth Title"), Alamo Title Insurance and National Title Insurance of New York Inc. - which collectively issue more title insurance policies than any other title company in the United States. Through our subsidiary, ServiceLink Holdings, LLC ("ServiceLink"), we provide mortgage transaction services, including title-related services and facilitation of production and management of mortgage loans. We are also a provider of annuity and life insurance products, providing deferred annuities, including fixed index annuities ("FIA"), fixed rate annuities, immediate annuities, indexed universal life ("IUL") insurance, funding agreements and pension risk transfer ("PRT") solutions through our wholly-owned subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life ("F&G"). For information about our reportable segments refer to Note H Segment Information. Recent Developments 3.20% Senior Notes On September 17, 2021, we completed our underwritten public offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.20% Notes due September 17, 2051 (the "3.20% Notes"), pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239002) and the related prospectus supplement. The net proceeds from the registered offering of the 3.20% Notes were approximately $443 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. We plan to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. For further information related to the 3.20% Notes, refer to Note O Notes Payable. Approval of the 2021 Repurchase Program On August 3, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new three-year stock repurchase program effective August 3, 2021 (the "2021 Repurchase Program") under which we may purchase up to 25 million shares of our FNF common stock through July 31, 2024. We may make repurchases from time to time in the open market, in block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. Merger of Alight, Inc. ("Alight") and Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. ("FTAC") On January 25, 2021, each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, FNTIC, Commonwealth Title and Chicago Title (collectively, the "FTAC Subscribers") entered into common stock subscription agreements (the "FTAC Subscription Agreements") with Alight (f/k/a Acrobat Holdings, Inc.) and FTAC to purchase in the aggregate $150 million (the "Alight Purchase Price") of Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Alight at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. On June 29, 2021, we funded the Alight Purchase Price. Additionally, Alight paid the FTAC Subscribers a fee of 2.5% of the Alight Purchase Price upon closing of the transactions in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement dated January 25, 2021, as amended and restated April 29, 2021, by and among FTAC, Alight and other parties thereto. On July 2, 2021, FTAC merged with Alight. The newly combined company operates as Alight, Inc. and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "ALIT." As of September 30, 2021 our shares of Alight are fully registered and are included in equity securities within the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. F&G Enters Funding Agreement Backed Note ("FABN") Market In June 2021, we established a funding agreement-backed notes program (the “FABN Program”), pursuant to which Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company (“FGL Insurance”) may issue funding agreements to a special purpose statutory trust (the “Trust”) for spread lending purposes. The maximum aggregate principal amount permitted to be outstanding at any one time under the FABN Program is $5.0 billion. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.9 billion outstanding under the FABN program. F&G Enters Pension Risk Transfer ("PRT") Market In July 2021, we entered the PRT market, pursuant to which FGL Insurance and Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company of New York ("FGL NY Insurance") may issue group annuity contracts to discharge pension plan liabilities from a pension plan sponsor. As of September 30, 2021, we closed pension risk transfer transactions which represent pension obligations of $371 million. In October 2021, we secured an additional $564 million in PRT transactions. Merger of Paysafe Limited ("Paysafe") and Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. II ("FTAC II") On December 7, 2020, each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, FNTIC, Commonwealth Title, Chicago Title and F&G (collectively, the "FTAC II Subscribers"), entered into common stock subscription agreements with Paysafe and FTAC II to purchase in the aggregate $500 million (the "Purchase Price") of common shares, par value $0.001 per share, of Paysafe at a purchase price of $10.00 per share ("the PIPE Investment"). On March 30, 2021, FTAC II merged with Paysafe, an exempted limited company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a leading integrated payments platform (the "FTAC II Paysafe Merger"), in accordance with the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020. The newly combined company operates as Paysafe and is traded on the NYSE under the symbol PSFE. The FTAC II Paysafe Merger was funded with the cash held in trust at FTAC II, forward purchase commitments, private investment in public equity ("PIPE") commitments and equity of Paysafe. On March 30, 2021, the FTAC II Subscribers funded the subscription agreements and received 50 million common shares of Paysafe. As of September 30, 2021, we hold approximately 7% of the outstanding common shares of Paysafe, which are included in equity securities in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the PIPE Investment, we received a fee of 1.6% of the Purchase Price as described in the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020. Income Tax Income tax expense was $213 million and $133 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $555 million and $194 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 23% and 25% in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 23% and 23% in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before taxes in the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 is primarily attributable to discrete unfavorable tax adjustments associated with our acquisition of F&G in the prior year period. 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 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 fewer than 1 million antidilutive instruments outstanding during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021. There were 2 million and 1 million antidilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Discontinued Operations In connection with the F&G acquisition, certain third party offshore reinsurance businesses acquired were deemed discontinued operations and are presented as such within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021. We have sold Front Street Re Cayman Ltd (“FSRC”) to Archipelago, and the closing of the transaction was effective May 31, 2021. The transaction did not have a material impact to our financial results. As of September 30, 2021, we no longer have discontinued operations. Management Estimates The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Periodically, and at least annually, typically in the third quarter, we review the assumptions associated with reserves for policy benefits, product guarantees, and amortization of intangibles. Additionally, during the three-months ended September 30, 2021, we implemented a new actuarial valuation system. As a result, our third quarter 2021 assumption updates include model refinements and assumption updates resulting from the implementation. The system implementation and assumption review process that occurred in the three-months ended September 30, 2021, included refinements in the calculation of the fair value of the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuities within contractholder funds and updates to the surrender rates, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) utilization, IUL premium persistency, maintenance expenses, and earned rate assumptions to reflect our current and expected future experience. These changes, taken together, resulted in a decrease in contractholder funds and future policy reserves of $425 million and a decrease to intangible assets of $136 million. These model refinements and assumptions are also used in the SOP 03-1 liability for GMWB benefits and resulted in an increase in the liability of $28 million for the period ended September 30, 2021. There was no material change to underlying policyholder behavior during the three-months ended September 30, 2021. The majority of the changes represent one-time adjustments in the three-months ended September 30, 2021 related to the cumulative impact of the system implementation and are not expected to re-occur in the future. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance and will be applied using different approaches depending on what the specific amendment relates to and, for public entities, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021, and it had no impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The amendments in this update clarify that callable debt securities should be re-evaluated each reporting period to determine if the amortized cost exceeds the amount repayable by the issuer at the next earliest call date, and, if so, the excess should be amortized to the next call date. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021 and are applying this guidance on a prospective basis. This pronouncement had no impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption. Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years. This update introduced the following requirements: assumptions used to measure cash flows for traditional and limited-payment contracts must be reviewed at least annually with the effect of changes in those assumptions being recognized in the statement of operations; the discount rate applied to measure the liability for future policy benefits and limited-payment contracts must be updated at each reporting date with the effect of changes in the rate being recognized in other comprehensive income; market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be measured at fair value, with the effect of the change in the fair value attributable to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk being recognized in other comprehensive income; deferred acquisition costs are no longer required to be amortized in proportion to premiums, gross profits, or gross margins; instead, those balances must be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts; deferred acquisition costs must be written off for unexpected contract terminations; and disaggregated rollforwards of beginning to ending balances of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions, and methods used in measurement are required to be disclosed. The amendments in this ASU may be early adopted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not yet been issued, including interim financial statements. We do not expect to early adopt this standard. We have identified specific areas that will be impacted by the new guidance and are in the process of assessing the accounting, reporting and/or process changes that will be required to comply as well as the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2021, we entered the PRT market, pursuant to which FGL Insurance and Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company of New York ("FGL NY Insurance") may issue group annuity contracts to discharge pension plan liabilities from a pension plan sponsor. As of September 30, 2021, we closed pension risk transfer transactions which represent pension obligations of $371 million. In October 2021, we secured an additional $564 million in PRT transactions.

On December 7, 2020, each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, FNTIC, Commonwealth Title, Chicago Title and F&G (collectively, the "FTAC II Subscribers"), entered into common stock subscription agreements with Paysafe and FTAC II to purchase in the aggregate $500 million (the "Purchase Price") of common shares, par value $0.001 per share, of Paysafe at a purchase price of $10.00 per share ("the PIPE Investment").

The newly combined company operates as Paysafe and is traded on the NYSE under the symbol PSFE. The FTAC II Paysafe Merger was funded with the cash held in trust at FTAC II, forward purchase commitments, private investment in public equity ("PIPE") commitments and equity of Paysafe.

On March 30, 2021, the FTAC II Subscribers funded the subscription agreements and received 50 million common shares of Paysafe. As of September 30, 2021, we hold approximately 7% of the outstanding common shares of Paysafe, which are included in equity securities in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the PIPE Investment, we received a fee of 1.6% of the Purchase Price as described in the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020.

Income tax expense was $213 million and $133 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $555 million and $194 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The decrease in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before taxes in the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 is primarily attributable to discrete unfavorable tax adjustments associated with our acquisition of F&G in the prior year period.
