Financial Performance Behind the Payout

FNF generated second-quarter total revenue of $4.051 billion, up from $3.635 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Net earnings attributable to common shareholders were $288 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, versus $278 million, or $1.02 per share, a year earlier. Adjusted net earnings increased to $370 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, from $318 million, or $1.16. Title segment revenue was approximately $2.5 billion, up from $2.2 billion year over year, with adjusted pre-tax title earnings rising 33% to $448 million and an adjusted pre-tax title margin of 17.8%, up from 15.5% a year earlier. F&G's adjusted net earnings for the quarter were $65 million, down from $89 million a year earlier, reflecting a reduced ownership stake of approximately 72% compared with approximately 82% in the prior year.

Title Margin Expansion Offsets Constrained Housing Market

FNF's 17.8% adjusted pre-tax title margin, an increase of 230 basis points from 15.5% a year earlier, was achieved despite a residential market the company describes as constrained by elevated Mortgage rates and historically low transaction volumes. Direct title Operating Revenue increased 17% and agent premiums increased 15% year over year, contributing to the margin expansion alongside cost discipline. F&G's contribution to FNF's consolidated adjusted net earnings declined to 23% of the first-half total, down from 32% in the first half of 2025, reflecting both F&G's own earnings decline and FNF's reduced ownership percentage in the subsidiary.

Outlook

FNF's dividend has been maintained at $0.52 per share for each quarter reported in 2026. Metrics relevant to the payout's context going forward include adjusted pre-tax title margin trends against residential transaction volumes, F&G's adjusted net earnings contribution at FNF's current ownership stake, and the pace of capital returned through dividends and repurchases.
