FNF Reports Second Quarter 2003 EPS of $1.78; $2.97 for Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

Jacksonville, Fla. — (July 23, 2003) — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a Fortune 500 provider of products, services and solutions to the real estate and financial services industries, today reported operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003.

2nd Quarter 2003	2nd Quarter 2002
Net Earnings	Net Earnings
$248.3 million	$112.3 million
$1.78 per diluted share	$0.90 per diluted share

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003	Six Months Ended June 30, 2002
Net Earnings	Net Earnings
$391.8 million	$213.3 million
$2.97 per diluted share	$1.73 per diluted share

• Revenue for the second quarter of 2003 was $2.0 billion, compared with $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2002

• Total title premiums were $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2003 versus $796 million for the prior year period

• Revenue from Fidelity Information Services was $209 million for the second quarter of 2003, after the April 1, 2003 acquisition

• Real estate related services revenue was $193 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared with $122 million for the second quarter of 2002

• Cash flow from operations was $415 million for the second quarter of 2003

• Annualized return on average equity was 35.8 percent for the second quarter of 2003

• The Company repurchased 712,375 shares of its common stock for $21.0 million during the second quarter of 2003 and has repurchased a total of 4,004,963 shares for $101.9 million from inception of its systematic repurchase program on May 15, 2002 through June 30, 2003

     “This was another tremendous quarter for FNF, as we achieved record quarterly revenue, net earnings and cash flow from operations,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William P. Foley, II. “Total revenue topped $2 billion for the first time in the history of the company, net earnings were nearly $250 million and cash flow from operations was $415 million. We achieved these results because of the strength of the residential real estate markets, the surge in refinance transactions and the recurring revenue and earnings contribution from Fidelity Information Services, which contributed nearly $210 million in incremental revenue in the second quarter. The outsourcing and processing services revenue provided by the mortgage loan servicing and core bank and loan processing platforms of Fidelity Information Services supply a stable, long-term, contractual, recurring stream of revenue and earnings that is not correlated with the mortgage cycle. One of our strategies is to better balance FNF’s financial profile with significant contributions from our core title insurance business, real estate related services and outsourced processing solutions for the mortgage and financial services markets. More stable revenue and earnings should provide a higher multiple of earnings for FNF’s stock, giving us a higher valued currency for future acquisitions in the core processing area.”

     The following table depicts monthly direct orders opened and closed for the second quarter of both 2003 and 2002:
