Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Financial Statements

The unaudited financial information in this report includes the accounts of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “FNF”) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2011 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to classifications used in 2012. In addition, we have corrected an immaterial prior period error in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The correction was between cash flows from operating activities and cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and resulted in a decrease in cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $20.0 million. There was no impact on our other Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented.

Description of Business

We are a leading provider of title insurance, mortgage services and other diversified services. FNF is the nation's largest title insurance company through its title insurance underwriters - Fidelity National Title, Chicago Title, Commonwealth Land Title and Alamo Title - that collectively issue more title insurance policies than any other title company in the United States. We also hold a 55% ownership interest in American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH"), the owner and operator of the O'Charley's, Ninety Nine Restaurants, Max & Erma's, Village Inn, Bakers Square, and Stoney River Legendary Steaks concepts. We also recently acquired 100% of J. Alexander's Corporation ("J. Alexander's"). In addition, we own a 51% ownership interest in Remy International, Inc. ("Remy"), a leading designer, manufacturer, remanufacturer, marketer and distributor of aftermarket and original equipment electrical components for automobiles, light trucks, heavy-duty trucks and other vehicles. FNF also owns a minority interest in Ceridian Corporation ("Ceridian"), a leading provider of global human capital management and payment solutions.

Discontinued Operations

On May 1, 2012, we completed the sale of an 85% interest in our remaining subsidiaries that write personal lines insurance to WT Holdings, Inc. for $119.0 million. Accordingly, the results of this business through the date of sale (which we refer to as our "at-risk" insurance business) for all periods presented are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations. The at-risk insurance business sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of $15.1 million, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. Total revenues from the at-risk insurance business included in discontinued operations are $39.4 million for the three months ending September 30, 2011 and $57.1 million and $124.4 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Pre-tax (loss) earnings from the at-risk insurance business included in discontinued operations are $(14.4) million for the three months ending September 30, 2011, and $10.4 million and $(22.4) million for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

On October 31, 2011, we completed the sale of our flood insurance business to WRM America Holdings LLC (“WRM America”) for $135.0 million in cash and dividends, and a $75.0 million seller note. The seller note was paid in full during the third quarter of 2012. The flood insurance business sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $154.1 million ($94.9 million after tax), which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. Total revenues from the flood business included in discontinued operations were $55.0 million and $137.1 million for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011, respectively. Pre-tax earnings from the flood business included in discontinued operations were $12.7 million and $26.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Transactions with Related Parties

Agreements with Fidelity National Information Services ("FIS")

A summary of the agreements that were in effect with FIS through September 30, 2012, is as follows:


•	Technology (“IT”) and data processing services from FIS. These agreements govern IT support services provided to us by FIS, primarily consisting of infrastructure support and data center management. Subject to certain early termination provisions, the agreement expires on or about June 30, 2013 with an option to renew for one or two additional years.


•	Administrative corporate support and cost-sharing services to FIS. We have provided certain administrative corporate support services such as corporate aviation and other administrative support services to FIS.

A detail of net revenues and expenses between us and FIS that were included in our results of operations for the periods presented is as follows:



	Three months ended September 30, 2012			Three months ended September 30, 2011			Nine months ended September 30, 2012			Nine months ended September 30, 2011
	(In millions)
Corporate services and cost-sharing revenue	$	1.3		$	1.1		$	3.7		$	3.5
Data processing expense	(8.1		)	(8.2		)	(24.7		)	(26.7		)
Net expense	$	(6.8	)	$	(7.1	)	$	(21.0	)	$	(23.2	)

We believe the amounts earned by us or charged to us under each of the foregoing arrangements are fair and reasonable. The information technology infrastructure support and data center management services provided to us are priced within the range of prices that FIS offers to its unaffiliated third party customers for the same types of services. However, the amounts we earned or were charged under these arrangements were not negotiated at arm’s-length, and may not represent the terms that we might have obtained from an unrelated third party. The amounts due to FIS as a result of these agreements were $6.1 million as of September 30, 2012 and $5.6 million as of December 31, 2011.

Included in equity securities available for sale are 1,603,860 shares of FIS stock which were purchased during the fourth quarter of 2009 in connection with a merger between FIS and Metavante Technologies, Inc. The fair value of our investment was $50.1 million and $42.6 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Also included in fixed maturities available for sale are FIS bonds with a fair value of $51.8 million and $23.6 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2011, we also held an FIS term loan with a fair value of $13.0 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") updated Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 350, to allow an entity to utilize qualitative factors to determine if events and circumstances exist which will lead to a determination that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, prior to performing a full fair-value assessment. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We elected to adopt this update in the third quarter of 2012 and the update did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 which updated ASC Topic 210, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 is expected to increase our disclosures, but is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]

Acquisitions

The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during any year are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition.

Acquisition of Remy International, Inc.

During the third quarter of 2012, we acquired 1.5 million additional shares of Remy International, Inc. ("Remy"), increasing our ownership interest to 16.3 million shares or 51% of Remy's total outstanding common shares. As a result of this acquisition we began to consolidate the results of Remy effective August 14, 2012. We previously held a 47% ownership interest in Remy. Total consideration paid for the additional 1.5 million shares was $31.3 million and cash acquired upon consolidation of Remy was $95.5 million. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. Our 47% equity method investment prior to consolidation of $179.2 million was included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A realized gain of $78.8 million was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2012 for the difference between our basis in our equity method investment of Remy prior to consolidation and the fair value of our investment in Remy at August 14, 2012, the date we acquired control and began to consolidate its operations.

The initial purchase price is as follows (in millions):



Fair value of our 47% investment in Remy prior to consolidation	$	258.0
Cash paid for additional ownership in Remy	31.3
Less: cash acquired in consolidation of Remy	(95.5		)
	$	193.8

The purchase price has been initially allocated to the Remy assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. This estimate is preliminary and subject to adjustments as we complete our valuation process over property and equipment, other intangible assets and goodwill, which we expect to have substantially complete by the end of 2012. The initial purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):



Trade and notes receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts	$	202.2
Prepaid expenses and other assets	214.3
Property and equipment	154.7
Deferred taxes	7.5
Other intangible assets	287.1
Goodwill	287.0
Total assets	1,152.8
Accounts payable and other liabilities	352.6
Notes payable	304.7
Total liabilities	657.3
Net assets acquired	495.5
Less: noncontrolling interest	(301.7		)
	$	193.8

As a result of our acquisition of Remy, the following additions have been made to our significant accounting policies during the third quarter of 2012.

Auto parts revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, ownership has transferred, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title and risk of loss under standard commercial terms (typically, F.O.B. shipping point). We recognize shipping and handling costs as costs of auto parts revenue with the related amounts billed to customers as sales. Accruals for sales returns, price protection and other allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon past experience. Adjustments to such accruals are made as new information becomes available. We accrue for rebates, price protection and other customer sales allowances in accordance with specific customer arrangements. Such rebates are recorded as a reduction of auto parts revenue.

Core accounting

Remanufacturing is the process where failed or used components, commonly known as cores, are disassembled into subcomponents, cleaned, inspected, tested, combined with new subcomponents and reassembled into saleable, finished products. With many customers, a deposit is charged for the core. Upon return of a core, we grant the customer a credit based on the core deposit value. Core deposits are excluded from auto parts revenue. We generally limit core returns to the quantity of similar, remanufactured cores previously sold to the customer. We record a liability for core returns based on cores expected to be returned. This liability is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability represents the difference between the core deposit value to be credited to the customer and the estimated core inventory value of the core to be returned. Revisions to these estimates are made periodically to consider current costs and customer return trends. Upon receipt of a core, we record inventory at lower of cost or fair market value. The value of a core declines over its estimated useful life (ranging from 4 to 30 years) and is devalued accordingly. Carrying value of the core inventory is evaluated by comparing current prices obtained from core brokers to carrying cost. The devaluation of core carrying value is reflected as a charge to cost of auto parts revenue. Core inventory that is deemed to be obsolete or in excess of current and future projected demand is written down to the lower of cost or market and charged to cost of auto parts revenue. Core inventories are classified as Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Customer contract intangibles

Upon entering into new or extending existing contracts, we may be required to purchase certain cores and inventory from our customers at retail prices, or be obligated to provide certain agreed support. The excess of the prices paid for the cores and inventory over fair value, and the value of any agreed support, are recorded as contract intangibles and amortized as a reduction to auto parts revenue on a method to reflect the pattern of economic benefit consumed. Customer contract intangibles which are not paid to customers, are amortized and recorded in cost of auto parts revenue. Contract intangibles are included in Other intangible assets, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Customer obligations

Customer obligations relate to new or amended existing customer contracts. These contracts designate us as the exclusive supplier to the respective customer, product line or distribution center and require us to compensate these customers over several years.

In addition, we enter into arrangements with certain customers where we purchase cores held in their inventory. Credits to be issued for these arrangements are recorded at net present value and are reflected in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent to the initial arrangements, the inventory owned by these customers will represent the exchange value of the remanufactured product.

Right of core return

When we enter into arrangements to purchase certain cores held in a customer’s inventory or when the customer is not charged a deposit for the core, we have the right to receive a core from the customer in return for every exchange unit supplied to them. We classify such rights as “Core return rights” in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The core return rights are valued based on the underlying core inventory values. Devaluation of these rights is charged to cost of auto parts revenue. On a periodic basis, we settle with customers for cores that have not been returned.

Research and development

We conduct research and development programs that are expected to contribute to future earnings. Such costs are included in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Customer-funded research and development expenses are recorded as an offset to research and development expense in Other operating expenses.

Government grants

We record government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and we will comply with the conditions attached to the grants received. Grants related to revenue are recorded as an offset to the related expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Grants related to assets are recorded as deferred revenue in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related asset. We continue to evaluate our compliance with the conditions attached to the related grants.

On August 5, 2009, the U.S. government announced its intention to enter into negotiations with us regarding the awarding of a grant to us of approximately $60.2 million for investments in equipment and manufacturing capability to manufacture electric drive motor technology for use in electric drive vehicles. We finalized the negotiation on this grant on April 8, 2010. The grant will reimburse certain capital expenditures, labor, subcontract and other allowable costs at a rate of fifty percent (50%) of the amount expended during a three-year period. In March 2011, the grant was extended through December 16, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, we have $25.9 million of the grant award remaining.

In addition, we receive various grants and subsidies from foreign jurisdictions.

Foreign currency translation

Each of our foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency as of September 30, 2012, is its local currency, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Mexico for which the U.S. dollar is the functional currency since substantially all of the purchases and sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and Hungary for which the Euro is the functional currency, since substantially all of their purchases and sales are denominated in Euro. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is their local currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at the average exchange rate for each year for revenue and expenses. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and reflected in other comprehensive earnings (loss). For each of our foreign subsidiaries, gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We evaluate our foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency on an ongoing basis.

Derivative financial instruments

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to continuing fluctuations in foreign currency values, interest rates and commodity prices that can affect the cost of operating, investing and financing. Accordingly, we address a portion of these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We have historically used derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging currency, interest rate and commodity exposures, which exist as a part of ongoing business operations.

As a policy, we do not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do we hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize risks using the most effective and cost-efficient methods available. Management routinely reviews the effectiveness of the use of derivative financial instruments.

We recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in earnings immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument that has been designated as a hedge, determined using the change in fair value method, is recognized in earnings immediately. The gain or loss related to derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges is recognized immediately in earnings.

Warranty

We provide certain warranties relating to quality and performance of our products. An allowance for the estimated future cost of product warranties and other defective product returns is based on management’s estimate of product failure rates and customer eligibility. If these factors differ from management’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties vary depending upon the customer and the product sold.

Acquisition of O'Charley's Inc. and Merger with ABRH

On April 9, 2012, we successfully closed a tender offer for the outstanding common stock of O'Charley's Inc. ("O'Charley's"). We have consolidated the results of O'Charley's as of April 9, 2012. On May 11, 2012, we merged O'Charley's with our investment in ABRH in exchange for an increase in our ownership position in ABRH from 45% to 55%. As of September 30, 2012, there were 322 company-owned restaurants in the O'Charley's group of companies and 219 company-owned restaurants in the legacy ABRH group of companies. Total consideration paid was $122.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $35.0 million. Our investment in ABRH, prior to the merger was $37.0 million and was included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our investment in O'Charley's prior to the tender offer of $13.8 million was included in equity securities available for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have consolidated the operations of ABRH with the O'Charley's group of companies, beginning on May 11, 2012. Restaurant revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings consists of restaurant sales and, to a lesser extent, franchise revenue and other revenue. Restaurant sales include food and beverage sales and are net of applicable state and local sales taxes and discounts.

The total purchase price has been allocated to the restaurant group assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price allocation was completed at the end of the third quarter of 2012. In the case of ABRH, goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. A realized gain of $65.8 million, which is included in Realized gains and losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, was recognized in the nine months ending September 30, 2012 for the difference between our basis in our equity method investment of ABRH prior to consolidation and the fair value of our investment in ABRH at the date of consolidation. The fair value of our investment in ABRH was estimated using relative market based comparable information. In regards to O'Charley's, a realized gain of $48.1 million and $54.8 million was recognized in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2012, respectively. The gain in the three-month period was a bargain purchase gain and is discussed further below. The gain in the nine-month period also includes the gain recognized in the second quarter of 2012 of $6.7 million for the difference in the basis of our holdings in O'Charley's common stock prior to consolidation and the fair value of O'Charley's common stock at the date of consolidation. As a result of the final valuation, we recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the O'Charley's purchase at fair value. Upon completion of the fair value process, the net assets of O'Charley's received by FNF exceeded the purchase price resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $48.1 million, which is included in Realized gains and losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The bargain purchase gain was due to the release of a valuation allowance on O'Charley's net deferred tax assets. O'Charley's previously had recorded a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, due to their history of net losses and the low probability of being able to utilize these assets. We also recorded a $10.8 million increase to our Additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, related to the fair value of the non-controlling interest portion of our ownership in O'Charley's.

The purchase price was as follows (in millions):



Fair value of our investment in O'Charley's and ABRH as of consolidation	$	182.2
Net cash paid for majority ownership in O'Charley's and ABRH	122.2
	$	304.4

The purchase price has been allocated to the O'Charley's and ABRH assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition dates. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. The purchase price allocation was completed at the end of the third quarter of 2012. The purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):



Trade and notes receivables	$	10.8
Prepaid expenses and other assets	77.4
Property and equipment	241.9
Other intangible assets	114.4
Deferred tax assets	71.5
Goodwill	107.5
Total assets	623.5
Total liabilities	169.2
Net assets acquired	454.3
Less: noncontrolling interest	(149.9		)
	$	304.4

Pro-forma Financial Results

For comparative purposes, selected unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations of FNF for the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2011 are presented below. Pro-forma results presented assume the consolidation of ABRH, O'Charley's and Remy occurred as of the beginning of each respective period. Amounts reflect our 55% ownership interest in ABRH and O'Charley's and our 51% ownership interest in Remy and were adjusted to exclude transaction and integration costs related to the acquisitions and earnings attributable to our prior investments in ABRH and Remy. We have also excluded the earnings effects attributable to the fair value adjustments of our prior investments and the bargain purchase gain related to the purchase of O'Charley's.

Acquisition of J. Alexander's Corporation

In September 2012, we successfully completed a tender offer for the outstanding common stock of J. Alexander's Corporation ("J. Alexander's") for $14.50 per share. Total consideration paid was $77.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $4.9 million. Effective October 29, 2012, following a one-month waiting period required under the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, we completed the closing of the short-form merger with J. Alexander's and subsequently own 100% of J. Alexander's. We have consolidated the operations of J. Alexander's beginning September 26, 2012. J. Alexander's operates 33 J. Alexander's restaurants in 13 states.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the 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 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.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2012			2011		2012		2011

Options to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive options totaled 3.1 million shares and 7.4 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 3.2 million shares and 8.5 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Our Level 2 fair value measures for fixed-maturities available for sale are provided by third-party pricing services. We utilize one firm for our taxable bond and preferred stock portfolio and another for our tax-exempt bond portfolio. These pricing services are leading global providers of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. We rely on one price for each instrument to determine the carrying amount of the assets on our balance sheet. 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.

Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities: These securities are comprised of agency mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, collaterized 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.

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.

Preferred stock: Preferred stocks are valued by calculating the appropriate spread over a comparable U.S. Treasury security. Inputs include benchmark quotes and other relevant market data.

Our Level 2 fair value measures for our interest rate swap, foreign exchange contracts, and commodity contracts are valued using the income approach. This approach uses techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

Our Level 3 investments consist of structured notes that were purchased in the third quarter of 2009. The structured notes had a par value of $37.5 million and fair value of $43.2 million at September 30, 2012 and a par value of $37.5 million and fair value of $40.8 million at December 31, 2011. The structured notes are held for general investment purposes and represent approximately one percent of our total investment portfolio. The structured notes are classified as other long-term investments and are measured in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value of these instruments represents exit prices obtained from a broker-dealer. These exit prices are the product of a proprietary valuation model utilized by the trading desk of the broker-dealer and contain assumptions relating to volatility, the level of interest rates, and the value of the underlying commodity indices. We reviewed the pricing methodologies for our Level 3 investments to ensure that they are reasonable and believe they represent an exit price for the securities as of September 30, 2012.

The following table presents the changes in our investments that are classified as Level 3 for the period ended September 30, 2012 (in millions):



Balance, December 31, 2011	$	40.8
Net realized gain	2.4
Balance, September 30, 2012	$	43.2

The carrying amounts of short-term investments, accounts receivable and notes receivable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Additional information regarding the fair value of our investment portfolio is included in Note E. Additional information regarding the fair value of our notes payable is included in Note G.

The cost basis of fixed maturity securities available for sale includes an adjustment for amortized premium or discount since the date of purchase.

The following table presents certain information regarding contractual maturities of our fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2012:



	September 30, 2012
	Amortized		% of		Fair		% of
Maturity	Cost		Total		Value		Total
	(Dollars in millions)
One year or less	$	279.2	9.1	%	$	282.3	8.8	%

Subject to call	$	1,478.3	48.5	%	$	1,539.6	48.0	%

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Included above in amounts subject to call are $1,111.1 million and $1,154.9 million in amortized cost and fair value, respectively, of fixed maturity securities with make-whole call provisions as of September 30, 2012.

The balance of equity securities includes an investment in FIS stock. The fair value of our investment in the FIS stock was $50.1 million and $42.6 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Included in our other long-term investments are fixed maturity structured notes purchased in the third quarter of 2009 and various cost-method investments. The structured notes are carried at fair value (see Note D) and changes in the fair value of these structured notes are recorded as realized gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The carrying value of the structured notes was $43.2 million and $40.8 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively; and we recorded a net gain of $4.0 million and $2.4 million related to the structured notes in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and recorded a net loss of $5.7 million and $3.5 million in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Net unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, were as follows (in millions):

Total temporarily impaired securities	$	418.6	$	(33.5	)	$	7.3	$	(1.0	)	$	425.9	$	(34.5	)

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, we determined that no investments in our portfolio were considered other-than-temporarily impaired. We expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of our temporarily impaired fixed maturity securities as we do not intend to sell these securities and we do not believe that we will be required to sell the fixed maturity securities before recovery of the cost basis. As of September 30, 2012, we held no fixed maturity securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may lead us to recognize potential future impairment losses related to our investment portfolio and that unanticipated future events may lead us to dispose of certain investment holdings and recognize the effects of any market movements in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents realized gains and losses on investments and other assets and proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments and other assets for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are recorded using the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, investments in unconsolidated affiliates consisted of the following (in millions):



	Current Ownership		September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011

Remy	—		—		141.8
Other	Various		19.6		51.9
Total			$	366.7	$	546.5

On August 14, 2012, we increased our ownership interest in Remy to 51% and began to consolidate their results of operations. In addition to our equity method investment in Remy, we held $29.7 million in par value of a Remy term loan as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of the term loan was $29.3 million as of December 31, 2011 and was included in our fixed maturity securities available for sale.

We account for our equity in Ceridian on a three-month lag. We accounted for Remy on a one month lag until August 14, 2012, the date on which we gained control of Remy. Accordingly, our net earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, include our equity in Ceridian’s earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2012, and our net earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, include our equity in Ceridian’s earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2011. Our net earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, include our equity in earnings in Remy from June 1, 2012 through August 13, 2012 and December 1, 2011 through August 13, 2012, respectively. Our net earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, include our equity in Remy's earnings for the three-month and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2011. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded an aggregate of $3.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in equity in earnings and $7.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 of Ceridian and Remy. Equity in earnings of other unconsolidated affiliates was $1.3 million and $0.9 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and $5.7 million and $3.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Remy Derivative Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk

Derivative instuments and hedging activities [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Remy Derivative Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk

The following risks and derivative instruments were added as part of the consolidation of Remy on August 14, 2012.

Foreign Currency Risk

Remy manufactures and sells products primarily in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. As a result, financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which Remy manufactures and sells products. Remy generally tries to use natural hedges within our foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, Remy considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities through the use of foreign exchange contracts. Remy primarily utilizes forward exchange contracts with maturities generally within twenty-four months to hedge against currency rate fluctuations, some of which are designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2012, Remy had the following outstanding foreign currency contracts to hedge forecasted purchases and revenues (in millions):



Currency denomination
Foreign currency contract	September 30, 2012
South Korean Won Forward	$	51.0
Mexican Peso Contracts	$	65.5
Brazilian Real Forward	$	6.1
Hungarian Forint Forward	€	9.4
Great Britain Pound Forward	£	1.7

Accumulated unrealized net gains of $3.0 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as of September 30, 2012 related to these instruments. As of September 30, 2012, gains related to these instruments of $2.5 million are expected to be reclassified to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings within the next 12 months. Any ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was immaterial.

Interest rate risk

During 2010, Remy entered into an interest rate swap agreement in respect of 50% of the outstanding principal balance of its Term B Loan under which a variable LIBOR rate with a floor of 1.750% was swapped to a fixed rate of 3.345%. The Term B Loan $150.0 million notional value interest rate swap expires December 31, 2013. This interest rate swap is an undesignated hedge and changes in the fair value are recorded as interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The interest rate swaps reduce Remy's overall interest rate risk.

Commodity price risk

Remy production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain components whose raw materials are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of Remy's commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. Remy monitors commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of commodity forward contracts. The principal raw material hedged is copper. Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to twenty-four months in the future. Additionally, Remy purchases certain commodities during the normal course of business which result in physical delivery and are excluded from hedge accounting.

Remy had thirty-five commodity price hedge contracts outstanding at September 30, 2012, with combined notional quantities of 5,769 metric tons of copper. These contracts mature within the next fifteen months. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Accumulated unrealized net gains of $0.1 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings as of September 30, 2012 related to these contracts. As of September 30, 2012, net gains related to these contracts of $0.8 million are expected to be reclassified to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings within the next 12 months. Hedging ineffectiveness during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was immaterial.

Accounts receivable factoring arrangements

Remy has entered into factoring agreements with various domestic and European financial institutions to sell their accounts receivable under nonrecourse agreements. These are treated as a sale. The transactions are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable as the agreements transfer effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyers. Remy does not service any domestic accounts after the factoring has occurred. Remy does not have any servicing assets or liabilities. Remy utilizes factoring arrangements as an integral part of financing. The cost of factoring such accounts receivable is reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings as interest expense with other financing costs. The cost of factoring such accounts receivable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.9 million. Gross amounts factored under these facilities as of September 30, 2012 were $173.8 million.

Other

Remy's derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements are presented on a net basis.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the change in fair value method, are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings for effective hedges are reclassified into the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings upon recognition of the hedged transaction.

Any derivative instrument designated initially, but no longer effective as a hedge, or initially not effective as a hedge, is recorded at fair value and the related gains and losses are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Remy's undesignated hedges are primarily foreign currency hedges as the entity with the derivative transaction does not bear the foreign currency risk, and Remy's interest rate swaps whose fair value at inception of the instrument due to the rollover of existing interest rate swaps resulted in ineffectiveness. All asset and liability derivatives are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table discloses the fair values of Remy's derivative instruments (in millions):



	September 30, 2012
	Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Commodity contracts	$	0.9	$	1.7
Foreign currency contracts	2.9		0.1
Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments	$	3.8	$	1.8

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Interest rate swap contracts	$	—	$	2.8

Gains and losses on Remy's derivative instruments, which are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (OCI) into earnings, are included in Cost of auto parts revenue for commodity and foreign currency contracts, and Interest expense for interest rate swap contracts on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The following table discloses the effect of Remy's derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in millions):

Notes Payable [Abstract]

Notes Payable

Notes payable consists of the following:



	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
	(In millions)
Unsecured notes, net of discount, interest payable semi-annually at 5.50%, due September 2022	$	398.1	$	—
Unsecured convertible notes, net of discount, interest payable semi-annually at 4.25%, due August 2018	281.4		279.5
Unsecured notes, net of discount, interest payable semi-annually at 6.60%, due May 2017	299.8		299.8
Unsecured notes, net of discount, interest payable semi-annually at 5.25%, due March 2013	—		236.4
Revolving Credit Facility, unsecured, unused portion of $800.0 at September 30, 2012, due April 2016 with interest payable monthly at LIBOR + 1.45%	—		100.0
Restaurant Group Term Loan, interest payable monthly at LIBOR + 3.50% (3.73% at September 30, 2012), due May 31, 2017	76.5		—
Restaurant Group Revolving Credit Facility, unused portion of $54.9 at September 30, 2012 due May 2017 with interest payable monthly at base rate 3.25% + base rate margin 2.50% (5.75% at September 30, 2012)	4.7		—
Remy Term (B) Loan, interest payable annually at LIBOR (floor of 1.75%) + 4.50% (6.25% at September 30, 2012), due December 2016	256.3		—
Other	33.9		0.1
	$	1,350.7	$	915.8

At September 30, 2012, the fair value of our long-term debt was $1,476.8 million and the carrying amount was $1,350.7 million. The fair value of our unsecured notes payable was $1,105.4 million as of September 30, 2012, based on established market prices for the securities on September 30, 2012 and are considered Level 2 financial liabilities. The fair value of our Remy Term Loan was $256.3 million, based on established market prices for the securities on September 30, 2012 and is considered a Level 2 financial liability. The fair value of our Restaurant Group Term Loan is $76.5 million, based on established market prices for the securities on September 30, 2012 and is considered a Level 2 financial liability. The fair value of our Restaurant Group Revolving Credit Facility is $4.7 million and is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates and comparison of interest rates being paid to our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements and is considered a Level 3 financial liability.

On August 28, 2012, we completed an offering of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% notes due September 2022 (the "5.50% notes"), pursuant to an effective registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The notes were priced at 99.513% of par to yield 5.564% annual interest. As such we recorded a discount of $1.9 million, which is netted against the $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.50% notes. The discount is amortized to September 2022 when the 5.50% notes mature. The 5.50% notes will pay interest semi-annually on the 1st of March and September, beginning March 1, 2013. We received net proceeds of $395.5 million, after expenses, which were used to repay the $236.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 5.25% unsecured notes maturing in March 2013, the $50.0 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility, and the remainder is being held for general corporate purposes. These notes contain customary covenants and events of default for investment grade public debt. These events of default include a cross default provision, with respect to any other debt of the Company in an aggregate amount exceeding $100 million for all such debt, arising from (i) failure to make a principal payment when due or (ii) the occurrence of an event which results in such debt being due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity.

On September 28, 2012, we used $242.3 million of the net proceeds of the issuance of the 5.50% notes to fund the repayment of the $236.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 5.25% unsecured notes, including $0.6 million of unpaid interest and a $5.2 million make-whole call penalty, as the 5.25% unsecured notes had a stated maturity of March 2013.

On May 31, 2012, ABRH entered into a credit agreement (the “ABRH Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as administrative agent and swing lender (the “ABRH Administrative Lender”) and the other financial institutions party thereto. The ABRH Credit Facility provides for a maximum revolving loan of $80.0 million with a maturity date of May 31, 2017. Additionally, the ABRH Credit Facility provides for a maximum term loan ("Restaurant Group Term Loan") of $85.0 million with quarterly installment repayments through December 25, 2016 and a maturity date of May 31, 2017 for the outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest. On May 31, 2012, ABRH borrowed the entire $85.0 million under such term loan. Pricing for the ABRH Credit Facility is based on an applicable margin between 300 basis points to 375 basis points over LIBOR. The ABRH Credit Facility is subject to affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on ABRH's creation of liens, sales of assets, incurrence of indebtedness, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, and certain amendments. The covenants addressing restricted payments include certain limitations on the declaration or payment of dividends by ABRH to its parent, Fidelity Newport Holdings, LLC (“FNH”), and by FNH to its members, and one such limitation restricts the amount of dividends that ABRH can pay to its parent (and that FNH can in turn pay to its members) to $5.0 million in the aggregate (outside of certain other permitted dividend payments) in fiscal year 2012 (with varying amounts for subsequent years). The ABRH Credit Facility includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable), which include a cross-default provision whereby an event of default will be deemed to have occurred if (i) ABRH or any of its guarantors, which consists of FNH and certain of its subsidiaries, (together, the “Loan Parties”) or any of their subsidiaries default on any agreement with a third party of $2.0 million or more related to their indebtedness and such default (a) occurs at the final maturity of the obligations thereunder or (b) results in a right by such third party to accelerate such Loan Party's or its subsidiary's obligations or (ii) a default or an early termination occurs with respect to certain hedge agreements to which a Loan Party or its subsidiaries is a party involving an amount of $0.75 million or more. The ABRH Credit Facility provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the ABRH Administrative Lender may (i) declare the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect of, the loans immediately due and payable, (ii) terminate loan commitments and (iii) exercise all other rights and remedies available to the ABRH Administrative Lender or the lenders under the loan documents. As of September 30, 2012, the balance of the term loan was $76.5 million and the balance of the revolving loan was $4.7 million. ABRH had $20.4 million of outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, ABRH had $54.9 million of remaining borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

On April 16, 2012, we entered into an agreement to amend and extend our credit agreement dated September 12, 2006, as amended and restated as of March 5, 2010 (the “ Revolving Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and swing line lender (the “Administrative Agent”), and the other financial institutions party thereto, and an agreement to change the aggregate size of the credit facility under the Revolving Credit Facility. These agreements reduced the total size of the credit facility from $925.0 million to $800.0 million, with an option to increase the size of the credit facility to $900.0 million, and established an extended maturity date of April 16, 2016. Pricing for the new agreement is based on an applicable margin between 132.5 basis points to 160.0 basis points over LIBOR, depending on the senior debt ratings of FNF. The Revolving Credit Facility remains subject to affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, sales of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, and certain amendments. The Revolving Credit Facility prohibits us from paying dividends to our stockholders if an event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. The Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and levels of capitalization. The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable). These events of default include a cross-default provision that, subject to limited exceptions, permits the lenders to declare the Revolving Credit Facility in default if: (i) (a) we fail to make any payment after the applicable grace period under any indebtedness with a principal amount (including undrawn committed amounts) in excess of 3.0% of our net worth, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, or (b) we fail to perform any other term under any such indebtedness, or any other event occurs, as a result of which the holders thereof may cause it to become due and payable prior to its maturity; or (ii) certain termination events occur under significant interest rate, equity or other swap contracts. The Revolving Credit Facility provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations will be increased and payments of all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders' commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Revolving Credit Facility shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders' commitments will automatically terminate. During the quarter ending September 30, 2012, we paid the outstanding $50.0 million balance on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2012, there was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On August 2, 2011, we completed an offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due August 2018 (the "Notes") in an offering conducted in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes contain customary event-of-default provisions which, subject to certain notice and cure-period conditions, can result in the acceleration of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, all outstanding Notes if we breach the terms of the Notes or the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and (i) rank senior in right of payment to any of our existing or future unsecured indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; (ii) rank equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries. Interest is payable on the principal amount of the Notes, semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2012. The Notes mature on August 15, 2018, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The Notes were issued for cash at 100% of their principal amount. However, for financial reporting purposes, the notes were deemed to have been issued at 92.818% of par value, and as such we recorded a discount of $21.5 million to be amortized to August 2018, when the Notes mature. The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 46.3870 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $21.56 per share), only in the following circumstances and to the following extent: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2011, if, for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (ii) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which, for each trading day of the measurement period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or (iv) at any time on and after May 15, 2018. However, in all cases, the Notes will cease to be convertible at the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. It is our intent and policy to settle conversions through “net-share settlement”. Generally, under “net-share settlement,” the conversion value is settled in cash, up to the principal amount being converted, and the conversion value in excess of the principal amount is settled in shares of our common stock.

We used $75.0 million of the proceeds from the Notes to purchase 4,609,700 shares of our common stock at $16.27 per share in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the issuance. We used the remaining net proceeds along with other cash on hand for repayment of $250.0 million of outstanding debt on our Revolving Credit Facility.

In December 2010, Remy entered into a $300.0 million Term (B) Loan (“Term B”) facility. The Term B is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of Remy's subsidiaries and substantially all Remy domestic assets other than accounts receivable and inventory pledged to the Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility ("Remy Credit Facility"), as described below. The Term B bears an interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.75%) plus 4.5% per annum. The Term B matures on December 17, 2016. Principal payments in the amount of $0.8 million are due at the end of each calendar quarter with termination and final payment no later than December 17, 2016. The Term B facility is subject to an excess cash calculation which may require the payment of additional principal on an annual basis. The Term B also includes events of default customary for a facility of this type, including a cross-default provision under which the lenders may declare the loan in default if we (i) fail to make a payment when due under any debt having a principal amount greater than $5.0 million or (ii) breach any other covenant in any such debt as a result of which the holders of such debt are permitted to accelerate its maturity. Remy is in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, the average borrowing rate, including the impact of the interest rate swaps, was 7.07%.

In December 2010, Remy entered into a $95.0 million, five year Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, (the "Remy Credit Facility"). The Remy Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of Remy's domestic accounts receivable and inventory. It bears interest, varying with the level of available borrowing, at a defined Base Rate plus 1.00%-1.50% per annum or, at our election, at an applicable LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%-2.50% per annum and is paid monthly. The Remy Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants, which include, among other things: (i) a maximum leverage ratio, decreasing over the term of the facility; (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio, increasing over the term of the facility; (iii) limitations on capital expenditures; (iv) mandatory prepayments upon certain asset sales and debt issuances; (v) requirements for minimum liquidity; and (vi) limitations on the payment of dividends in excess of a specified amount. At September 30, 2012, the Remy Credit Facility balance was zero. Based upon the collateral supporting the Remy Credit Facility, the amount borrowed, and the outstanding Remy letters of credit of $2.9 million, there was additional availability for borrowing of $69.2 million as of September 30, 2012. The Remy Credit Facility agreement matures on December 17, 2015.

Remy also has revolving credit facilities with four Korean banks with a total facility amount of approximately $16.1 million of which $8.0 million is borrowed at average interest rates of 4.61% at September 30, 2012.

Legal Proceedings [Abstract]

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 title operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. 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 insurance companies, our ordinary course litigation includes a number of class action and purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to aspects of our insurance operations. We believe that no actions depart from customary litigation incidental to our insurance business.

Remy is a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to commercial transactions, product liability, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters.

Our restaurant group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under “dram shop” laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns.

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 where 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. None of the amounts we have currently recorded is considered to be individually or in the aggregate material to our financial condition. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending cases 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, results of operations or cash flows.

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.

Operating Leases

Future minimum lease payments are as follows (in millions):



2012 (remaining)	$	43.2
2013	163.1
2014	138.5
2015	113.7
2016	90.9
Thereafter	429.8
Total future minimum operating lease payments	$	979.2

On June 29, 2004 we entered into an off-balance sheet financing arrangement (commonly referred to as a “synthetic lease”). The owner/lessor in this arrangement acquired land and various real property improvements associated with new construction of an office building in Jacksonville, Florida, at our corporate campus and headquarters. The lessor financed the acquisition of the facilities through funding provided by third-party financial institutions. On June 27, 2011, we renewed and amended the synthetic lease for the facilities. The amended lease provides for a five year term ending June 27, 2016 and had an outstanding balance as of September 30, 2012 of $71.3 million. The amended lease includes guarantees by us of up to 83.0% of the outstanding lease balance, and options to purchase the facilities at the outstanding lease balance. The guarantee becomes effective if we decline to purchase the facilities or renew the lease at the end of its term. The lessor is a third-party company and we have no affiliation or relationship with the lessor or any of its employees, directors or affiliates, and transactions with the lessor are limited to the operating lease agreements and the associated rent expense that have been included in other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We do not believe the lessor is a variable interest entity, as defined in the FASB standard on consolidation of variable interest entities.

Purchase Obligations

The restaurant group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors. These purchase obligations are primarily food obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate and a fixed beverage contract with an annual price adjustment. In situations where the price is based on market prices, we used the existing market prices at September 30, 2012 to determine the amount of the obligation.

Purchase obligations of the restaurant group as of September 30, 2012 are as follows (in millions):



2012 (remaining)	$	78.3
2013	162.4
2014	98.7
2015	73.3
2016	6.4
Thereafter	—
Total	$	419.1

Segments Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments is shown in the following tables. As a result of the close on the sale of the flood insurance business in October 2011 and the close on the sale of our at-risk insurance business in May 2012, we reorganized our reporting segments to reflect the disposition of these businesses and the realignment of the remaining specialty businesses. As a result of combining O'Charley's with our investment in ABRH, which increased our ownership of ABRH to 55%, we have consolidated the operations of ABRH, including the O'Charley's group of companies, and added the restaurant group reporting segment. Restaurant group results include the results of operations of O'Charley's beginning April 9, 2012 and ABRH beginning May 11, 2012. As a result of our increase in ownership of Remy to 51%, we have consolidated the operations of Remy and added the Remy reporting segment. Remy results include the results of operations of Remy beginning August 14, 2012. Prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current segment presentation.

Missouri Title Certificate Claim	9 Months Ended
Missouri Title Certificate Claim	Sep. 30, 2012
Insurance Loss Reserves [Abstract]
Summary Of Reserve For Claim Loss [Text Block]	Missouri Title Certificate Claim Chicago Title Insurance Company ("CTIC") was sued in a Missouri State Court by Abengoa, a multinational bioenergy corporation, for an alleged failure to identify all property owners within a certain radius of Abengoa' s site for its proposed new ethanol plant. Abengoa claimed the owners required to be notified for rezoning the plant site were not notified causing a delay in rezoning that resulted in more than $48.4 million in lost profits and other damages. CTIC argued the certificate that identified the owners limited damages to the cost of the certificate, which was $500, that Abengoa could not show lost profits, and that Abengoa could only sue for breach of contract, not negligence. The court did not permit the jury to hear the damage limitation evidence, and ruled Abengoa could sue for negligence. On July 14, 2011 the jury returned a verdict and the court entered judgment against CTIC for approximately $48.4 million on a count of negligence. CTIC believed its defenses were meritorious, and filed post-trial motions and appeal. On July 17, 2012, the Missouri Court of Appeals, in an unpublished opinion, affirmed the previous judgment against CTIC. On August 1, 2012, we filed a motion for rehearing and an application request for transfer to the Missouri Supreme Court with the appeals court. The court denied our motions on August 21, 2012 and we filed our Petition to Transfer to the Missouri Supreme Court on September 5, 2012. On October 30, 2012, the Petition to Transfer to the Missouri Supreme Court was denied. As this matter is related to a title claim, we have reserved for the claim loss under our approximate $1.8 billion provision for title claim losses. Any loss in excess of a maximum retention of $10.0 million would be covered under our reinsurance treaty and we have provided notice to our reinsurers of the claim as well as recorded a reinsurance recoverable, which is included in Prepaid and other assets in on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012. We expect to pay the amount of the judgment, plus accrued interest, and receive the related reinsurance recovery, less our $10.0 million retention, during the fourth quarter of 2012. Due to the size of this matter, it could have an adverse effect on our cash flows in a particular period.

Acquisitions Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Auto parts revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, ownership has transferred, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title and risk of loss under standard commercial terms (typically, F.O.B. shipping point). We recognize shipping and handling costs as costs of auto parts revenue with the related amounts billed to customers as sales. Accruals for sales returns, price protection and other allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon past experience. Adjustments to such accruals are made as new information becomes available. We accrue for rebates, price protection and other customer sales allowances in accordance with specific customer arrangements. Such rebates are recorded as a reduction of auto parts revenue.
Core Accounting [Policy Text Block]	Core accounting Remanufacturing is the process where failed or used components, commonly known as cores, are disassembled into subcomponents, cleaned, inspected, tested, combined with new subcomponents and reassembled into saleable, finished products. With many customers, a deposit is charged for the core. Upon return of a core, we grant the customer a credit based on the core deposit value. Core deposits are excluded from auto parts revenue. We generally limit core returns to the quantity of similar, remanufactured cores previously sold to the customer. We record a liability for core returns based on cores expected to be returned. This liability is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability represents the difference between the core deposit value to be credited to the customer and the estimated core inventory value of the core to be returned. Revisions to these estimates are made periodically to consider current costs and customer return trends. Upon receipt of a core, we record inventory at lower of cost or fair market value. The value of a core declines over its estimated useful life (ranging from 4 to 30 years) and is devalued accordingly. Carrying value of the core inventory is evaluated by comparing current prices obtained from core brokers to carrying cost. The devaluation of core carrying value is reflected as a charge to cost of auto parts revenue. Core inventory that is deemed to be obsolete or in excess of current and future projected demand is written down to the lower of cost or market and charged to cost of auto parts revenue. Core inventories are classified as Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Customer contract intangibles Upon entering into new or extending existing contracts, we may be required to purchase certain cores and inventory from our customers at retail prices, or be obligated to provide certain agreed support. The excess of the prices paid for the cores and inventory over fair value, and the value of any agreed support, are recorded as contract intangibles and amortized as a reduction to auto parts revenue on a method to reflect the pattern of economic benefit consumed. Customer contract intangibles which are not paid to customers, are amortized and recorded in cost of auto parts revenue. Contract intangibles are included in Other intangible assets, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Inventory Costs for Contracts or Programs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Customer obligations Customer obligations relate to new or amended existing customer contracts. These contracts designate us as the exclusive supplier to the respective customer, product line or distribution center and require us to compensate these customers over several years. In addition, we enter into arrangements with certain customers where we purchase cores held in their inventory. Credits to be issued for these arrangements are recorded at net present value and are reflected in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent to the initial arrangements, the inventory owned by these customers will represent the exchange value of the remanufactured product.
Right of Core Return [Policy Text Block]	Right of core return When we enter into arrangements to purchase certain cores held in a customer’s inventory or when the customer is not charged a deposit for the core, we have the right to receive a core from the customer in return for every exchange unit supplied to them. We classify such rights as “Core return rights” in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The core return rights are valued based on the underlying core inventory values. Devaluation of these rights is charged to cost of auto parts revenue. On a periodic basis, we settle with customers for cores that have not been returned.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Research and development We conduct research and development programs that are expected to contribute to future earnings. Such costs are included in Other operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Customer-funded research and development expenses are recorded as an offset to research and development expense in Other operating expenses.
Government Contractors, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Government grants We record government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and we will comply with the conditions attached to the grants received. Grants related to revenue are recorded as an offset to the related expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Grants related to assets are recorded as deferred revenue in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related asset. We continue to evaluate our compliance with the conditions attached to the related grants. On August 5, 2009, the U.S. government announced its intention to enter into negotiations with us regarding the awarding of a grant to us of approximately $60.2 million for investments in equipment and manufacturing capability to manufacture electric drive motor technology for use in electric drive vehicles. We finalized the negotiation on this grant on April 8, 2010. The grant will reimburse certain capital expenditures, labor, subcontract and other allowable costs at a rate of fifty percent (50%) of the amount expended during a three-year period. In March 2011, the grant was extended through December 16, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, we have $25.9 million of the grant award remaining. In addition, we receive various grants and subsidies from foreign jurisdictions.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign currency translation Each of our foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency as of September 30, 2012, is its local currency, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Mexico for which the U.S. dollar is the functional currency since substantially all of the purchases and sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and Hungary for which the Euro is the functional currency, since substantially all of their purchases and sales are denominated in Euro. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is their local currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at the average exchange rate for each year for revenue and expenses. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and reflected in other comprehensive earnings (loss). For each of our foreign subsidiaries, gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We evaluate our foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency on an ongoing basis.
Derivatives, Reporting of Derivative Activity [Policy Text Block]	Derivative financial instruments In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to continuing fluctuations in foreign currency values, interest rates and commodity prices that can affect the cost of operating, investing and financing. Accordingly, we address a portion of these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We have historically used derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging currency, interest rate and commodity exposures, which exist as a part of ongoing business operations. As a policy, we do not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do we hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize risks using the most effective and cost-efficient methods available. Management routinely reviews the effectiveness of the use of derivative financial instruments. We recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in earnings immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument that has been designated as a hedge, determined using the change in fair value method, is recognized in earnings immediately. The gain or loss related to derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges is recognized immediately in earnings.
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Warranty We provide certain warranties relating to quality and performance of our products. An allowance for the estimated future cost of product warranties and other defective product returns is based on management’s estimate of product failure rates and customer eligibility. If these factors differ from management’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required. The specific terms and conditions of the warranties vary depending upon the customer and the product sold.
