  • Revenue of \\$238 million, led by Servicing Technology revenue of approximately \\$162 million
  • Revenue growth of 8% for the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, led by strong growth in Closing Insight and Loan Origination Systems
  • Adjusted EBITDA of \\$106 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 44.9%

"This quarter was a strong finish to another successful year for FNF," said Chairman

William P. Foley, II.  "We generated a 13.8% adjusted pre-tax title margin this quarter and a 14.3% adjusted pre-tax title margin for the full-year 2015.  The commercial market remains very strong, with record fourth quarter total commercial revenue of more than \\$300 million and full-year 2015 total commercial revenue of more than \\$1 billion.  Our open and closed purchase orders, excluding ServiceLink, both grew by 9% in the fourth quarter and for the full-year 2015, open and closed purchase orders grew by 8% and 9%, respectively.  Refinance activity declined somewhat throughout the fourth quarter, although with the recent market volatility and decline in rates, refinance volumes have the potential to be more stable than most would have expected as we head into 2016.  If we continue to see a strong commercial market, further growth in the purchase market and some level of stability from the refinance market, we believe we can generate an adjusted pre-tax title margin above 15% in 2016.

"Black Knight continued its strong financial performance this quarter, generating 8% revenue growth, \\$106 million in adjusted EBITDA and a 44.9% adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter.  For the full-year, Black Knight generated revenue growth of 9%, adjusted EBITDA of \\$409 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 44%.  FNF's Black Knight ownership stake is currently worth approximately \\$2.3 billion, or approximately \\$8 per FNF share.  Black Knight's business fundamentals remain strong and we firmly believe that its high single-digit organic revenue growth rate, mid-40's EBITDA margins and predictability of earnings will allow Black Knight to continue to generate value for both its shareholders and FNF shareholders."

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, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation as a percent of adjusted revenue (Adjusted EBITDA margin), adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS and free cash flow.

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. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related 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: changes in general economic, business and political 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, 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 a main source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries.

This press release should be read in conjunction with the press release filed for the results of FNFV on this same date as well as the risks detailed in the "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information," "Risk Factors" and other sections of the Company's Form 10-Q, 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
