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, 2023. Description of the Business We are a leading provider of (i) title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, including loan sub-servicing, valuations, default services and home warranty products, (ii) technology 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 leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients through our majority-owned subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life ("F&G"). For information about our reportable segments refe r to Note H Segment Information. Recent Developments Successful Completion of Consent Solicitation On April 23, 2024, we announced the successful completion of consent solicitations of the holders of each of our 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), 3.400% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), 2.450% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and 3.200% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “2051 Notes” and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, 2030 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”; and each a “series of Notes”) to effect a certain amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”) with respect to each series of Notes, as described below. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 22, 2024 (the “Expiration Time”), we had received consents from a majority in principal amount of each series of Notes outstanding for the adoption of the proposed amendment to the Indenture. Each of the consent solicitations was made pursuant to the consent solicitation statement, dated April 16, 2024 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”). A supplemental indenture giving effect to the Proposed Amendment with respect to each series of Notes was executed promptly. Upon its execution, the supplemental indenture is effective and constitutes a binding agreement between the Company and the trustee. Immediately prior to the consummation of our redomestication, by conversion, from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Redomestication”), we will pay holders of each series of Notes who validly delivered their consents at or prior to the Expiration Time (and did not validly revoke such consents) the Consent Fee described in the Consent Solicitation Statement. No Consent Fee will be paid with respect to a series of Notes if any of the consent solicitations are terminated prior to the proposed amendment becoming effective or if we abandon the Redomestication or if the Redomestication is not completed for any reason whatsoever. We are not required to consummate the Redomestication even if we have received the requisite consents for the Notes and the approval of our shareholders to the Redomestication. If the Redomestication is abandoned prior to consummation or otherwise not completed for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, because we determine to effect a redomestication by way of merger or otherwise), or the conditions to the consent solicitations are not satisfied or waived, then no Consent Fee shall be payable and the Proposed Amendment contained in the supplemental indenture described above will not become operative. Amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility On February 16, 2024, we entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for our $800 million revolving credit facility (the "Amended Revolving Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and other agents party thereto (the "Sixth Restated Credit Agreement"). Among other changes, the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from October 29, 2025, to February 16, 2029. For further information related to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the Sixth Restated Credit Agreement refer to Note G Notes Payable in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Amendment to the F&G Credit Agreement On February 16, 2024, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated F&G Credit Agreement of our $665 million credit agreement, with the guarantors party thereto, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuing bank (the "Second Amended and Restated F&G Credit Agreement"). Among other changes, the Second Amended and Restated F&G Credit Agreement amends the Amended F&G Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date and increase the aggregate principal amount of commitments under the revolving credit facility to $750 million. For more information related to the Second Amended and Restated F&G Credit Agreement refer to Note G Notes Payable in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Acquisition of Roar On January 2, 2024, F&G acquired a 70% majority ownership stake in the equity of Roar Joint Venture, LLC ("Roar"). Roar wholesales life insurance and annuity products to banks and broker dealers through a network of agents. Total initial consideration is comprised of cash of $269 million and $48 million of contingent consideration. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company has agreed to make cash payments of up to $90 million over a three year period upon the achievement by Roar of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") milestones. For further information related to the acquisition of Roar, refer to Note N Acquisitions. Investment of $250 million in F&G On January 12, 2024, we completed a $250 million preferred stock investment in F&G. F&G will use the net proceeds from the investment to support growth of its assets under management. Under the terms of the agreement, we have agreed to invest $250 million in exchange for 5 million shares of F&G's 6.875% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock"). Each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share. Unless earlier converted at the option of the holder, each outstanding share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock of F&G on January 15, 2027 (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"). Upon conversion on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the conversion rate for each share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be no more than 1.1111 shares of common stock and no less than 0.9456 shares of common stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, depending on the value of F&G's common stock. The preferred stock investment in F&G eliminates upon consolidation. Income Tax Income tax expense was $63 million and $14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings (loss) before income taxes was 19% and (19)% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings (loss) before taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the corresponding period in 2023 is primarily attributable to the 2023 period having income tax expense, due to a valuation allowance increase, despite there being a 2023 pre-tax loss. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share, as presented on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, 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 assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain stock options and shares of restricted stock, 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Unconsolidated Owned Distribution Investments For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid approximately $50 million and $37 million, respectively, in commissions on sales through our unconsolidated funded owned distribution investments and their affiliates, with the acquisition expense deferred and amortized in Depreciation and amortization on the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Pronouncements In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-02, Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structure Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2024, as required, and there was no material impact to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this update affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction and clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. Additionally, the amendments require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). The amendments in this update do not change the principles of fair value measurement, rather, they clarify those principles when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice, reducing the cost and complexity in measuring fair value, and increasing comparability of financial information across reporting entities that hold those investments. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2024, and it did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures upon adoption. Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements that are currently required annually, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contain other disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are incremental to the current requirements of Topic 280 and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The enhanced segment disclosure requirements apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The significant segment expense and other segment item amounts disclosed in prior periods shall be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments in this update are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the updates must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We do not currently expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance the transparency of the income tax disclosures by expanding on the disclosures required annually. The amendments require entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes, in addition to providing details about the reconciling items in some categories if above a quantitative threshold. Additionally, the amendments require annual disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. We do not currently expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.
