Our second quarter results highlight the strength of FNF’s business model and the benefits of having two complementary market-leading franchises. In Title, we delivered an industry-leading adjusted pre-tax title margin of 17.8% despite a residential market that remains constrained by elevated mortgage rates and historically low transaction volumes. In F&G, assets under management before reinsurance approached $75 billion as the business continued to execute its strategy of balancing growth, profitability and capital efficiency. Our businesses continue to generate strong and consistent cash flow, supporting a disciplined capital allocation strategy that balances investing for future growth while returning capital to shareholders. During the second quarter, we returned approximately $195 million of capital through dividends and share repurchases, bringing total capital returned during the first six months of 2026 to approximately $417 million. With strong market positions and financial flexibility, we believe FNF remains exceptionally well positioned to create long-term value for our shareholders.

The Title business delivered an outstanding second quarter, generating adjusted pre-tax title earnings of $448 million, up 33% over the prior year, and an industry-leading adjusted pre-tax title margin of 17.8%. These results reflect strength across our commercial, residential, and agency businesses, supported by disciplined expense management and the benefits of our scale and operating platform. Commercial remains a meaningful driver of our performance as transaction activity and fee per file continue to trend higher, positioning us for what could be one of the strongest commercial years in our history. We are also seeing the benefits of our investments in technology, automation and artificial intelligence. As the leading provider of title and settlement services, FNF provides the rails upon which real estate transactions run, by orchestrating complex multi-party settlements, safeguarding the movement of funds and mitigating fraud in every transaction. By embedding AI capabilities into these workflows, we believe we can drive significant value over time by enhancing efficiency, reducing risk, strengthening fraud prevention and improving the customer experience across real estate transactions. Combined with the significant operating leverage embedded in our model, we believe we are exceptionally well positioned to benefit from the continued strength in commercial and an eventual recovery in residential transaction volumes.

The second quarter reflects the strength and resilience of the business we have built at F&G. We achieved record assets under management before reinsurance of $74.7 billion underpinned by continued momentum in core retail, while maintaining our disciplined approach to sales, pricing and capital allocation. Our investment portfolio continues to perform well, with strong credit performance and impairments remaining below pricing assumptions, reinforcing the consistent earnings power of our business. Combined with our diversified distribution platform and strategic reinsurance relationships, we believe F&G is well positioned to navigate a dynamic market environment. Having spent the past year working closely with our employees, distribution partners and leadership team, my confidence in the future of F&G has only grown stronger. We see meaningful opportunities to further scale our fee-based, higher-margin and less capital-intensive earnings streams while continuing to grow our core spread-based franchise. Supported by strong inforce earnings generation, substantial financial flexibility and favorable demographic trends, we are confident in our ability to grow assets under management, expand returns and create long-term shareholder value.
