Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Financial Statements	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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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. 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, 2016. Description of the Business We have organized our business into two groups, FNF Group and FNF Ventures ("FNFV"). Through FNF Group, we are a leading provider of (i) title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, including trust activities, trustee sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances and home warranty products and (ii) technology and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries. FNF Group is the nation’s largest title insurance company operating through its title insurance underwriters - Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company ("Chicago Title"), Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, 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. Through FNFV group, our diversified investment holding company, we own majority and minority equity investment stakes in a number of entities, including American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH") and Ceridian HCM, Inc. ("Ceridian"), subject to an anticipated Split-Off, as described under Recent Developments in this Note A. For information about our reportable segments refer to Note H Segment Information. Recent Developments On October 16, 2017, FNFV Group completed its acquisition of T-System Holdings LLC ("T-System") for $200 million in cash. T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities. T-System offers software solutions providing clinical staff full workflow operations that drive documentation completeness and revenue optimization, and provides a full-service outsourced coding solution as well as a cloud-based SaaS solution for self-service coding. On September 29, 2017, we completed our previously announced tax-free distribution, to FNF Group shareholders, of all 83.3 million shares of New BKH Corp. ("New BKH") common stock that we previously owned (the “BK Distribution”). Immediately following the BK Distribution, New BKH and Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. ("Black Knight") engaged in a series of transactions resulting in the formation of a new publicly-traded holding company, Black Knight, Inc. ("New Black Knight"). Holders of FNF Group common stock received approximately 0.30663 shares of New Black Knight common stock for every one share of FNF Group common stock held at the close of business on September 20, 2017, the record date for the BK Distribution. New Black Knight's common stock is now listed under the symbol “BKI” on the New York Stock Exchange. The BK Distribution is expected to generally be tax-free to FNF Group shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of New Black Knight's fractional shares. As a result of the BK Distribution, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities divested as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. Further, the financial results of Black Knight have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note K. Discontinued Operations for further details of the results of Black Knight. On August 31, 2017, FNF Group completed its acquisition of 90% of the membership interests of Title Guaranty of Hawaii ("Title Guaranty") for $98 million. Title Guaranty was previously an unaffiliated agent of Chicago Title and will continue to be closely aligned with Chicago Title as it formally becomes part of the FNF title company family. Founded in 1896, Title Guaranty is the oldest title company in the State of Hawaii and is a leading provider of title and escrow services, with more than 300 employees in branches across the State of Hawaii providing title insurance and real estate closing services. See Note J Acquisitions for further discussion. On August 3, 2017, FNFV LLC entered into a definitive agreement (the "99 Merger Agreement"), by and among J. Alexander's Holdings, Inc. ("J. Alexander's"), its subsidiary J. Alexander's Holdings, LLC ("JAX Op"), Nitro Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAX Op, Fidelity Newport Holdings, LLC ("FNH", together with FNFV LLC, the "99 Sellers"), and 99 Restaurants, LLC ("99 Restaurants"), to merge Merger Sub with and into 99 Restaurants, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and 99 Restaurants shall continue as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAX Op (the "99 Merger"). 99 Restaurants is the owner of our Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub restaurant concept. Pursuant to the 99 Merger Agreement, FNH will exchange 100% of its ownership interest in 99 Restaurants for common share equivalents of J. Alexander's (as described below). Under the terms of the 99 Merger Agreement, 99 Restaurants will be valued at an enterprise value of $199 million, with consideration to be paid to the 99 Sellers by J. Alexander's and JAX Op consisting of newly issued equity valued at $179 million, issued in the form of 16.3 million new Class B Units of JAX Op and 16.3 million shares of new Class B Common Stock of J. Alexander's, and the assumption of $20 million of net debt. For purposes of the 99 Merger, each Class B Unit, together with one share of Class B Common Stock, will be issued at an agreed price of $11.00. Prior to the 99 Merger, 99 Restaurants will assume $60 million of currently outstanding debt of certain of its affiliates and FNFV LLC will contribute $40 million to 99 Restaurants in exchange for newly issued membership interest in 99 Restaurants. The proceeds of this cash contribution will be used by J. Alexander's to repay a portion of the assumed debt immediately following the closing of the 99 Merger. William P. Foley, II will join the J. Alexander's Board of Directors and it is expected that Lonnie J. Stout II will remain Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Closing of the 99 Merger is contingent on customary closing conditions, including approval of the shareholders of J. Alexander's and certain regulatory clearances, and is expected late in the fourth quarter of 2017 or early in the first quarter of 2018. On May 24, 2017, we entered into certain equity commitment letters (the “Equity Commitment Letters”) with CF Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CFCOU”), relating to its plan of merger (the "Merger" or “Merger Agreement”), dated May 24, 2017, among CFCOU, Fidelity & Guaranty Life, a Delaware corporation (“FGL”), and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letters, the Company has committed (the "FNF Commitment"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the closing under the Merger Agreement, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, equity of CFCOU for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to $235 million plus up to an aggregate of $195 million to offset any redemptions of CFCOU’s ordinary shares made in connection with its shareholder vote to approve the transaction. The cash purchase price of $235 million includes: (i) $135 million of ordinary shares of CFCOU for $10.00 per share, and (ii) $100 million of preferred shares, plus additional amounts, if any, pursuant to the Company’s commitment to offset a portion of the redemptions of CFCOU’s ordinary shares, if any, and warrants. The shareholder vote was held on August 8, 2017 and the Merger was unanimously approved. No shareholders elected to have their public shares redeemed in connection with the Merger. Additionally, the Company has committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the Closing, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, equity of CFCOU for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate amount, if any, not funded by one or more purchasers under the forward purchase agreements between CFCOU, CF Capital Growth, LLC and the counterparties thereto, up to an aggregate amount of $200 million. As consideration for the FNF Commitment and the agreements of the Company under the Equity Commitment Letters, the Company also entered into a fee letter agreement with CFCOU, dated May 24, 2017, pursuant to which CFCOU has agreed to pay to the Company the following fees at the closing of the Merger: (i) the original issue discount of $2 million in respect of the preferred shares; (ii) a commitment fee of $3 million; (iii) penny warrants convertible, in the aggregate, for 1.2% of CFCOU’s ordinary shares (on a fully diluted basis); and (iv) if, and to the extent, any amount of the preferred equity under the Company’s backstop commitment is funded (the “Backstop Equity”), (x) a funding fee of 0.5% of the amount of the Backstop Equity that is funded, and (y) penny warrants attached to the Backstop Equity that are convertible, in the aggregate, for the result of (1) the proportion of the Backstop Equity that is funded, and (2) 1.5% of CFCOU’s ordinary shares. The Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In addition to the Equity Commitment Letters and FNF Commitment, the Company holds $37 million of equity securities of CFCOU as of September 30, 2017. The Company’s non-executive Chairman, William P. Foley, II, is also the Co-Executive Chairman of CF Corporation. On May 22, 2017, FNF Group completed its acquisition of Hudson & Marshall, LLC ("H&M"), a full-service auction company and one of the nation's top real estate and property auction providers, for $53 million. FNF and H&M expect to partner to further enhance the services FNF can provide to its lender, servicer and real estate agent relationships. Additionally, H&M will be hosting ServiceLink Auction, a new, full-service auction platform that will be integrated with ServiceLink's suite of products and technologies. On May 5, 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to sell Digital Insurance, LLC ("OneDigital") for $560 million in an all-cash transaction. The sale was finalized on June 6, 2017. After repayment of debt, payout to option holders and a minority equity investor and other transaction related payments, FNFV Group received $331 million from the sale, which includes $325 million of cash and $5 million of purchase price holdback receivable. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $276 million on the sale which is included in Realized gains and losses, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. We retained no ownership in OneDigital and have no continuing involvement with OneDigital as of the date of the sale. On May 3, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution to increase the size of our Board of Directors to thirteen and elected Heather H. Murren to serve on our Board of Directors. Ms. Murren will serve in Class I of our Board of Directors, and her term will expire at the annual meeting of our shareholders to be held in 2018. At this time, Ms. Murren has not been appointed to any committee of our Board. Effective March 1, 2017, three of the Company’s title insurance underwriters, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, redomesticated from their former states of domicile to Florida (the "Redomestication"). In conjunction with the Redomestication, the Company received a special dividend from these title insurance underwriters of $280 million on March 15, 2017. On December 7, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a tax-free plan (the "Split-off" or "Split-off Plan") whereby we intend to redeem all FNFV shares in exchange for shares of common stock of Cannae Holdings, Inc ("Cannae"). Following the distribution, FNF and Cannae will each be independent, fully-distributed, publicly-traded common stocks, with FNF and FNFV no longer being tracking stocks. At or near closing of the Split-off, we anticipate making a $100 million equity investment in Cannae. In addition, our current $100 million undrawn intercompany line of credit with FNFV will continue with Cannae upon consummation of the Split-off Plan. On May 10, 2017 we received the private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") approving certain aspects relating to the Split-off Plan. The Split-off Plan is subject to the filing and acceptance of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), FNFV shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. On October 19, 2017, the SEC declared the registration statement for the Split-off Plan effective and the proxy statement was mailed to shareholders. A special meeting of stockholders to approve the Split-off Plan will be held on November 17, 2017 and we expect to close on such date. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders in a given period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain stock options, shares of restricted stock, convertible debt instruments and certain other convertible share based payments which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported. Options or other instruments which provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no antidilutive options outstanding during the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. There were two million antidilutive options outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU provides a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations was issued by FASB in March 2016 to clarify the principal versus agent considerations within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing was issued by the FASB in April 2016 to clarify how to determine whether goods and services are separately identifiable and thus accounted for as separate performance obligations. ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients was issued by the FASB in May 2016 to clarify certain terms from the aforementioned updates and to add practical expedients for contracts at various stages of completion. ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued by the FASB in December 2016 which includes thirteen technical corrections and improvements affecting narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09. We have materially completed our analysis of the impact of the standards and have concluded that these standards will not have a material impact on our accounting or reporting. Upon issuance of ASU 2015-14, the effective date of ASU 2014-09 was deferred to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2018. Either of the following transition methods is permitted: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the new standard in each prior reporting period, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year the new standard is first applied. We plan to transition to this new guidance using the modified retrospective approach. Other Pronouncements In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The primary amendments required by the ASU include: requiring equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value through net income rather than through other comprehensive income; allowing entities with equity investments without readily determinable fair values to report the investments at cost, adjusted for changes in observable prices, less impairment; requiring entities that elect the fair value option for financial liabilities to report the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income; and clarifying that entities should assess the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires a cumulative-effect adjustment of the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption of the ASU is not permitted, except for the provision related to financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected. We have completed our evaluation of the effects this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have determined that the ASU will result in: (1) reclassification of our unrealized gains and losses on our equity and preferred securities available for sale currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 and (2) changes in fair value of our equity and preferred securities available for sale subsequent to January 1, 2018 to be included in our earnings from continuing operations. As of September 30, 2017, we held equity and preferred securities available for sale with combined net unrealized gains (net of losses) of $160 million and $14 million, respectively. Including the associated effects of deferred taxes, based on the net of tax balances as of September 30, 2017, we expect to reclassify a total of approximately $106 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning Retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to the accounting and reporting for leases by lessees. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases, and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities, to be reflected on the lessee's balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the standard is permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective approach to transitioning which allows for the use of practical expedients to effectively account for leases commenced prior to the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. We are still evaluating the totality of the effects this new guidance will have on our business process and systems, consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. We have identified a vendor with software suited to track and account for leases under the new standard. We have not concluded on the anticipated financial statement effects of adoption. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to accounting for credit impairment of financial instruments. The primary updates include the introduction of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected rather than incurred losses and amendments to the accounting for impairment of debt securities available for sale. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. We do not plan to early adopt the standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU introduce clarifications to the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary updates include additions and clarifications of the classification of cash flows related to certain debt repayment activities, contingent consideration payments related to business combinations, proceeds from insurance policies, distributions from equity method investees, and cash flows related to securitized receivables. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. We have materially completed our analysis of the effects of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures with regard to all aspects except for the provisions related to distributions from equity method investees. Excluding the provisions related to distributions from equity method investees, we do not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The Company currently excludes cash pledged related to secured trust deposits, which generally meets the definition of restricted cash, from the reconciliation of beginning-of-period to end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The new guidance requires a company to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in the guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The new guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We have completed our evaluation of the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have concluded that the effect will not be material. We do not expect to early adopt this standard. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Summary of Reserve for Claim Losses

A summary of the reserve for claim losses follows:



	Nine months ended September 30,
	2017			2016
	(Dollars in millions)
Beginning balance	$	1,487		$	1,583
Change in reinsurance recoverable	(4		)	(2		)
Claim loss provision related to:
Current year	174			180
Prior years	7			10
Total title claim loss provision	181			190
Claims paid, net of recoupments related to:
Current year	(4		)	(3		)
Prior years	(164		)	(166		)
Total title claims paid, net of recoupments	(168		)	(169		)
Ending balance of claim loss reserve for title insurance	$	1,496		$	1,602
Provision for title insurance claim losses as a percentage of title insurance premiums	5.0		%	5.5		%

We continually update loss reserve estimates as new information becomes known, new loss patterns emerge, or as other contributing factors are considered and incorporated into the analysis of reserve for claim losses. Estimating future title loss payments is difficult because of the complex nature of title claims, the long periods of time over which claims are paid, significantly varying dollar amounts of individual claims and other factors.

Due to the uncertainty inherent in the process and to the judgment used by management, the ultimate liability may be greater or less than our current reserves. If actual claims loss development varies from what is currently expected and is not offset by other factors, it is possible that our recorded reserves may fall outside a reasonable range of our actuary's central estimate, which may require additional reserve adjustments in future periods.

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

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we held no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

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 D Investments.

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

The following table presents certain information regarding contractual maturities of our fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2017:



	September 30, 2017
	Amortized		% of		Fair		% of
Maturity	Cost		Total		Value		Total

Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities	63		3		64		3
Total	$	2,133	100	%	$	2,154	100	%

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. Because of the potential for prepayment on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, they are not categorized by contractual maturity.

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were as follows (in millions):

We recorded no impairment charges relating to investments during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. We recorded $1 million in impairment charges relating to investments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 relating to a fixed maturity security of an investee entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy which has exhibited a decreasing fair market value and from which we are uncertain of our ability to recover our initial investment. We recorded $2 million in impairment charges relating to investments during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 related to a fixed maturity security in which we determined the ability to recover our investment was unlikely. We recorded $5 million in impairment charges related to investments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 related to a fixed maturity security and an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate in which we determined the ability to recover our investment was unlikely.

As of September 30, 2017, we held $1 million in available for sale securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. As of December 31, 2016, we held $7 million in fixed maturity and equity securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may lead us to recognize 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- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

At September 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $1,056 million, which was $155 million higher than its carrying value, excluding $11 million of net unamortized debt issuance costs and premium/discount. The carrying values of our ABRH term loan and ABRH revolving credit facility approximate the fair values at September 30, 2017 as they are variable rate instruments with short reset periods which reflect current market rates. The fair value of our unsecured notes payable was $624 million as of September 30, 2017. The fair values of our unsecured notes payable are based on established market prices for the securities on September 30, 2017 and are considered Level 2 financial liabilities. The revolving credit facilities are considered Level 2 financial liabilities.

On August 19, 2014, ABRH entered into a credit agreement (the “ABRH Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender (the “ABRH Administrative Agent”), Bank of America, N.A. as syndication agent and the other financial institutions party thereto. The ABRH Credit Facility was amended on February 24, 2017. The material terms of the ABRH Credit Facility are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, including the material terms of the amendment on February 24, 2017, and have not been amended since the filing of such Annual Report. As of September 30, 2017, ABRH had $86 million outstanding for the ABRH Term Loan, had $30 million outstanding under the ABRH Revolver, had $16 million of outstanding letters of credit and had $14 million of remaining borrowing capacity under the ABRH Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017, $19 million of borrowings under the ABRH Revolver incurred interest monthly at 4.24% and $11 million of borrowings incurred interest quarterly at 6.25%.

On June 25, 2013, FNF entered into an agreement to amend and restate our existing $800 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 16, 2012 with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and the other agents party thereto (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On April 27, 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended (the "Restated Credit Agreement") to extend the term for 5 years, from a maturity date of July 15, 2018 to April 27, 2022 and to update the interest rate. Revolving loans under the Restated Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate based on either (i) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds rate, (b) the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate”, or (c) the sum of one percent plus one-month LIBOR) plus a margin of between 10.0 and 60.0 basis points depending on the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of between 110.0 and 160.0 basis points depending on the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company. At the current Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of BBB/Baa3, respectively, the applicable margin for revolving loans subject to LIBOR is 140 basis points. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee of between 15.0 and 40.0 basis points on the entire facility, also depending on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt ratings. All other material terms of the Revolving Credit Facility are the same as those set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, there was $295 million outstanding, net of $5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, and $500 million of remaining borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On August 28, 2012, FNF completed an offering of $400 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 SEC. The material terms of the 5.50% notes are set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016.

On August 2, 2011, FNF completed an offering of $300 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 material terms of the Notes are set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016, except to clarify that it is now our intent to settle conversions through cash settlement. Beginning October 1, 2013, these notes are convertible under the 130% Sale Price Condition described in our Annual Report. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased Notes with aggregate principal of $229 million for $548 million.

On May 5, 2010, FNF completed an offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.60% notes due May 2017 (the "6.60% Notes"), pursuant to an effective registration statement previously filed with the SEC. The material terms of the 6.60% Notes are set forth in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016. In May 2017, we paid off the 6.60% Notes in full using proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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

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; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.

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 in which 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. Our accrual for legal and regulatory matters was $2 million as of September 30, 2017 and $69 million as of December 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, ServiceLink paid $65 million to settle all remaining obligations to complete the document execution review under the 2011 LPS consent order with certain banking agencies. Details of the consent order and the terms of the settlement are set forth in Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016. None of the amounts we have currently recorded are considered to be material to our financial condition individually or in the aggregate. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings 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.

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.

Acquisitions

Title

Title Guaranty of Hawaii

On August 31, 2017, FNF Group completed its acquisition of 90% of the membership interest of Title Guaranty of Hawaii ("Title Guaranty") for $98 million. Title Guaranty was previously an unaffiliated agent and will continue to be closely aligned with Chicago Title as it formally becomes part of the FNF title company family. Founded in 1896, Title Guaranty is the oldest title company in the State of Hawaii and is a leading provider of title and escrow services, with more than 300 employees in branches across the State of Hawaii providing title insurance and real estate closing services.

FNF Group paid total consideration, net of cash received, of $93 million in exchange for 90% of the equity interests of Title Guaranty. The total cash consideration paid was as follows (in millions):



Cash paid	$	98
Less: Cash Acquired	(5		)
Total net consideration paid	$	93

The purchase price has been initially allocated to Title Guaranty's 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. The goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. These estimates are preliminary and subject to adjustments as we complete our valuation process with respect to all acquired assets and assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interests.

The following table summarizes the total purchase price consideration and the preliminary fair value amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):

Discontinued Operations

Black Knight

As a result of the BK Distribution we have reclassified the assets and liabilities divested as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. Further, the financial results of Black Knight have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We retained no ownership in Black Knight.

We have various agreements with Black Knight to provide technology, data and analytics services, as well as corporate shared services and information technology. We are also a party to certain other agreements under which we incur other expenses or receive revenues from Black Knight. We expect to continue utilizing Black Knight to provide technology and data and analytics services for the foreseeable future. The cash inflows and outflows from and to Black Knight as well as revenues and expenses included in continuing operations subsequent to September 29, 2017, the date of the BK Distribution, which were previously eliminated in our consolidated financial statements as intra-entity transactions are not material to our results of operations for the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.

Basis of Financial Statements (Policies)	9 Months Ended
Basis of Financial Statements (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2017
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders in a given period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain stock options, shares of restricted stock, convertible debt instruments and certain other convertible share based payments which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported. Options or other instruments which provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU provides a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations was issued by FASB in March 2016 to clarify the principal versus agent considerations within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing was issued by the FASB in April 2016 to clarify how to determine whether goods and services are separately identifiable and thus accounted for as separate performance obligations. ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients was issued by the FASB in May 2016 to clarify certain terms from the aforementioned updates and to add practical expedients for contracts at various stages of completion. ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued by the FASB in December 2016 which includes thirteen technical corrections and improvements affecting narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09. We have materially completed our analysis of the impact of the standards and have concluded that these standards will not have a material impact on our accounting or reporting. Upon issuance of ASU 2015-14, the effective date of ASU 2014-09 was deferred to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2018. Either of the following transition methods is permitted: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the new standard in each prior reporting period, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year the new standard is first applied. We plan to transition to this new guidance using the modified retrospective approach. Other Pronouncements In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The primary amendments required by the ASU include: requiring equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value through net income rather than through other comprehensive income; allowing entities with equity investments without readily determinable fair values to report the investments at cost, adjusted for changes in observable prices, less impairment; requiring entities that elect the fair value option for financial liabilities to report the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income; and clarifying that entities should assess the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires a cumulative-effect adjustment of the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption of the ASU is not permitted, except for the provision related to financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected. We have completed our evaluation of the effects this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have determined that the ASU will result in: (1) reclassification of our unrealized gains and losses on our equity and preferred securities available for sale currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 and (2) changes in fair value of our equity and preferred securities available for sale subsequent to January 1, 2018 to be included in our earnings from continuing operations. As of September 30, 2017, we held equity and preferred securities available for sale with combined net unrealized gains (net of losses) of $160 million and $14 million, respectively. Including the associated effects of deferred taxes, based on the net of tax balances as of September 30, 2017, we expect to reclassify a total of approximately $106 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income to beginning Retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to the accounting and reporting for leases by lessees. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases, and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities, to be reflected on the lessee's balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the standard is permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective approach to transitioning which allows for the use of practical expedients to effectively account for leases commenced prior to the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. We are still evaluating the totality of the effects this new guidance will have on our business process and systems, consolidated financial statements, and related disclosures. We have identified a vendor with software suited to track and account for leases under the new standard. We have not concluded on the anticipated financial statement effects of adoption. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2019. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to accounting for credit impairment of financial instruments. The primary updates include the introduction of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected rather than incurred losses and amendments to the accounting for impairment of debt securities available for sale. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. We do not plan to early adopt the standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU introduce clarifications to the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary updates include additions and clarifications of the classification of cash flows related to certain debt repayment activities, contingent consideration payments related to business combinations, proceeds from insurance policies, distributions from equity method investees, and cash flows related to securitized receivables. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. We have materially completed our analysis of the effects of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures with regard to all aspects except for the provisions related to distributions from equity method investees. Excluding the provisions related to distributions from equity method investees, we do not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The Company currently excludes cash pledged related to secured trust deposits, which generally meets the definition of restricted cash, from the reconciliation of beginning-of-period to end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The new guidance requires a company to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in the guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. The new guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We have completed our evaluation of the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and have concluded that the effect will not be material. We do not expect to early adopt this standard. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted, including in interim periods. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
