Jacksonville, Fla. — (July 25, 2006) — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a Fortune 500 provider of outsourced products and services to a variety of industries, today reported operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006.

*   For purposes of computing earnings per diluted share, FNF has to analyze the dilutive impact of outstanding options at its public subsidiaries, Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., and, if necessary, adjust the net earnings available to FNF shareholders before calculating earnings per diluted share. For the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, net earnings were reduced by $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, resulting in a reduction of $0.01 in earnings per diluted share for each period.

 


 

     “This was another solid financial quarter for FNF,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William P. Foley, II. “FNT is producing solid returns and significant cash flow in a slower mortgage market. FIS again generated strong organic growth and has raised its full-year 2006 organic growth guidance to a range of 5% to 7% and its full-year 2006 EBITDA growth guidance to a range of 10% to 12%. Our specialty insurance businesses continued to provide greater than 25% growth and the flood insurance operations acquired the existing 63,000 flood insurance policies of Southern Family Insurance Company on June 28th. Finally, Sedgwick announced two acquisitions during the quarter that has it on its way to achieving our target of becoming a $1 billion revenue business. We also continue to make progress towards the closing of the transactions we announced in late April. On June 26th, we announced that FNF and FNT had signed a formal Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement and that FNF and FIS had signed a merger agreement under which FNF would be merged with and into FIS. On July 18th, we filed the Schedule 14C Preliminary Information Statement related to the FNF/FNT transaction and the Form S-4 Registration Statement and joint proxy statement related to the FNF/FIS merger with the SEC. We expect to close the transactions early in the fourth quarter.”

     FNF presents its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). However, in order to provide the investment community with a more thorough means of evaluating the operating performance of its operations, FNF also reports several non-GAAP measures, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), net earnings plus depreciation and amortization less capital expenditures (“Free Cash Flow”) and net earnings plus other intangible amortization, net of income tax (“Cash Earnings”). Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings.
