Anthony J. Park - Fidelity National Financial, Inc.
Management
Thank you, Randy. We generated $1.9 billion in total revenue in the first quarter, with Title generating nearly $1.6 billion in total revenue, Black Knight contributing $256 million in total revenue, and our Corporate and Other segment generating $63 million, which is predominantly the real estate brokerage and CINC revenue. Adjusted pre-tax title earnings were $175 million, a $33 million or 23% increase over the first quarter of 2016. The first quarter adjusted pre-tax title margin was 11.1%, a 130 basis point increase over the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted net earnings were $118 million or $0.42 per diluted share. First quarter net cash flow used in operations was $11 million versus net cash flow provided by operations of $73 million in the first quarter of 2016. The primary drivers of the decrease in cash flow from operations, despite stronger earnings were, A, the $65 million consent order settlement at ServiceLink and, B, a $60 million swing in the timing of our biweekly payroll run. The Title segment generated $1.6 billion in total revenue for the first quarter, a 9% increase over the first quarter of 2016. Direct title premiums and agency premiums both increased 10%. Personnel costs increased by 8% and other operating expenses grew 1%, both lower than the 10% increase in title premiums. FNF Group debt outstanding was $2.5 billion at March 31, with nearly $1.6 billion of that debt at Black Knight. Our debt-to-total-capital on a consolidated basis was 27% at quarter-end. On an FNF-only basis, the debt-to-cap ratio was 16%. Our claims paid of $51 million were $1 million lower than our provision of $52 million for the first quarter, and we continue to provide for claim losses at 5% title premiums. Our provision rate against all title premiums plus escrow fees is 4.25% for industry comparison purposes and closer to 4% for all title-related revenue. Finally, our FNF Group investment portfolio totaled $4.7 billion at March 31. From a regulated standpoint, we have $1.8 billion in statutory reserves, $1.2 billion in regulated cash and investments, and $750 million in secured trust deposits, for a total of approximately $3.8 billion in regulated cash and investments. From an unregulated perspective, we have $400 million of unregulated cash at FNF Group as of March 31. There's $300 million in consolidated cash and investments at Black Knight and ServiceLink and approximately $100 million in cash at subsidiaries, both of which are restricted by minimum working capital, other regulatory requirements or to let those businesses run themselves autonomously. Let me now turn the call back to our operator to allow for any questions.
