Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: the potential impact of the F&G Distribution on relationships, including employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business, and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets and geopolitical uncertainties associated with international conflicts; consumer spending; government spending; government shutdowns; the volatility and strength of the capital markets; investor and consumer confidence; foreign currency exchange rates; commodity prices; inflation levels; changes in trade policy; tariffs and trade sanctions on goods; trade wars; supply chain disruptions; weakness or adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding, or a weak U.S. economy; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in consummating and integrating acquisitions; our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as our main source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “FNF” refer collectively to Fidelity National Financial, Inc., and its subsidiaries.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Overview

For a description of our business, including descriptions of recent business developments, see the discussion in Note A Basis of Financial Statements in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.

Business Trends and Conditions

Title

Our Title segment revenue is closely related to the level of real estate activity that includes sales, mortgage financing, and mortgage refinancing. Declines in the level of real estate activity or the average price of real estate sales will adversely affect our title insurance revenues.

We have found that residential real estate activity is generally dependent on the following factors:

•mortgage interest rates;

•mortgage funding supply;

•housing inventory and home prices;

•supply and demand for commercial real estate; and

•the strength of the United States economy, including employment levels.

The most recent forecast of the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA"), as of April 20, 2026, estimates (actual for fiscal year 2025) the size of the U.S. residential mortgage originations market as shown in the following table for 2025 - 2028 in its "Mortgage Finance Forecast" (in trillions):

As of April 20, 2026, the MBA expects residential purchase originations to increase in 2026 and 2027, and remain flat in 2028, and expects residential refinance originations to increase in 2026, decrease in 2027 and remain flat in 2028. Overall mortgage originations are expected to increase in 2026 and remain flat in 2027 and 2028.

Following a decline in inflation in 2024, the Federal Reserve reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to 4.25%–4.50%, where it remained as of March 31, 2025. After additional rate cuts during 2025, the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds rate at a target range of 3.50%–3.75% as of March 31, 2026. Average interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage were 6.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 6.8% for the corresponding period in 2025.

A shortage in the supply of homes for sale, increasing home prices, high mortgage interest rates, disrupted labor markets including the potential for rising unemployment, government shutdowns, changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs and geopolitical uncertainties associated with international conflicts created some volatility in the residential real estate market in 2025, which has continued into 2026. Existing-home sales declined 1% in March 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, while median existing-home sales prices increased to $408,800, or approximately 1%, from the corresponding period in 2025.

Other economic indicators used to measure the health of the U.S. economy, including the unemployment rate, have remained strong. The unemployment rate was 4.3% and 4.2% in March 2026 and 2025, respectively.

We issue commercial title insurance policies in sectors including office, industrial, energy, hospitality, retail, and multi-family, among others. The demand for commercial title insurance varies based on a variety of factors such as investor appetite, financing availability, and supply and demand in a particular area. Because commercial real estate transactions tend to be generally driven by supply and demand for commercial space in a particular area rather than by interest rate fluctuations, we believe that our commercial real estate title insurance business is less dependent on the industry cycles discussed above than our residential real estate title business. Factors including U.S. tax reform and a shift in U.S. monetary policy have had, or are expected to have, varying effects on availability of financing in the U.S. Lower corporate and individual tax rates and corporate tax-deductibility of capital expenditures have provided increased capacity and incentive for investments in commercial real estate. In recent years, we experienced fluctuating demand in commercial real estate markets. Commercial volumes and commercial fee-per-file increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in 2025.

We continually monitor mortgage origination trends and believe that, based on our ability to produce industry leading operating margins through all economic cycles, we are well positioned to adjust our operations for adverse changes in real estate activity and to take advantage of increased volume when demand increases.

Seasonality. Historically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue fluctuations in the real estate industry. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The second and third calendar quarters are typically the strongest quarters in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of residential transactions in the spring and summer months. The fourth quarter is typically strong due to the desire of commercial entities to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short-term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates.

F&G

The following factors represent some of the key trends and uncertainties that have influenced the development of our F&G segment and its historical financial performance, and we believe these key trends and uncertainties will continue to influence the business and financial performance of our F&G segment in the future.

Market Conditions

Market conditions can change rapidly with significant positive or negative impacts on our results. Volatility can pressure sales and reduce demand as consumers hesitate to make financial decisions. We anticipate various macroeconomic factors will continue to drive uncertainty and instability, which could have a significant impact on the Company during fiscal year 2026. These factors include, among others, consumer spending, business investment, government spending, government shutdown, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, investor and consumer confidence, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, inflation levels, changes in trade policy, tariffs and trade sanctions on goods, trade wars, United States-China relations, and supply chain disruptions.

In light of increasing uncertainty in the markets we serve, we are unable to predict how long the current environment will last or the significance of the financial and operational impacts to us. To enhance the attractiveness and profitability of our products and services, we continually monitor the behavior of our customers, as evidenced by annuitization rates and lapse rates, which vary in response to changes in market conditions. See “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, for further discussion of risk factors that could affect market conditions.

Interest Rate Environment

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our reserves, net of reinsurance, and weighted average crediting rate on our fixed rate annuities were $6.1 billion and 4.76% and $6.4 billion and 4.84%, respectively. Some of our F&G products, most notably our fixed rate annuities, include guaranteed minimum crediting rates. We are required to pay the guaranteed minimum crediting rates even if earnings on our investment portfolio decline, which would negatively impact earnings. In addition, we expect more policyholders to hold policies with comparatively high guaranteed rates for a longer period in a low interest rate environment. Conversely, a rise in average yield on our investment portfolio would increase earnings if the average interest rate we pay on our products does not rise correspondingly. Similarly, we expect that policyholders would be less likely to hold policies with existing guarantees as interest rates rise and the relative value of other new business offerings are increased, which would negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

See Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a more detailed discussion of interest rate risk.

Aging of the U.S. Population

We believe that the aging of the U.S. population will continue to increase demand for retirement savings, growth, and income solutions, including demand for our indexed annuity and indexed universal life (“IUL”) products. We serve a growing retirement population, with more than 11,000 Americans turning 65 every day and a projected 30% increase in people age 65-100 over the next 25 years according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The impact of this growth may be offset to some extent by asset outflows as an increasing percentage of the population begins withdrawing assets to convert their savings into income.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and Selected Financial Data included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Overview

For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments, see the discussion under Business in Item 1 of Part I of this Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report.

On June 11, 2025, the Company effected a redomestication of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada (the “Redomestication”). As of June 11, 2025, the affairs of the Company ceased to be governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company adopted a new certificate of incorporation and bylaws governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes. The Redomestication did not result in any change in the business, physical location, management, assets, liabilities, or net worth of the Company, nor did it result in any change in location of the Company’s current employees, including management. The Redomestication did not affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and the Company’s rights and obligations under those material contractual arrangements will continue to be the rights and obligations of the Company after the Redomestication. The daily business operations of the Company will continue as they were conducted prior to the Redomestication. The consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company immediately after consummation of the Redomestication remain the same as immediately before the Redomestication.

The Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate from near zero as of March 2022 to a range between 5.25% and 5.50% in July 2023 in an effort to combat inflation. Following a decline in inflation in 2024, the Federal Reserve reduced the benchmark rate to a range of 4.25% and 4.50% as of December 31, 2024. The Federal Reserve further reduced the benchmark rate by 75 basis points in 2025 to a range of 3.50% and 3.75% as of December 31, 2025. Average interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage were averaged 6.6%, 6.7% and 6.8% during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

A shortage in the supply of homes for sale, increasing home prices, varying mortgage interest rates, inflation, disrupted labor markets, and geopolitical uncertainties created a challenging residential real estate market in 2023, 2024, and 2025. In early 2026, the federal government implemented or proposed reforms to address housing and home affordability, including a directive to certain government-sponsored enterprises to purchase up to $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities in an effort to lower interest rates, enhance affordability and reduce the spread between mortgage rates and Treasury yields.

Existing-home sales increased 1% in December 2025 as compared to the corresponding month in 2024, while median existing-home sales prices rose to $405,400 in December 2025, a 0.4% increase over the corresponding month in 2024. Existing-home sales decreased 9% in December 2024 as compared to the corresponding month in 2023, while median existing-home sales prices rose to $404,400 in December 2024, a 6% increase over the corresponding month in 2023.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate was near record lows throughout 2023. The unemployment rate was 4.4%, 4.1% and 3.7% in December of 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We issue commercial title insurance policies in sectors including office, industrial, energy, hospitality, retail and multi-family, among others. The demand for commercial title insurance varies based on a variety of factors such as investor appetite, financing availability and supply and demand in a particular area. Because commercial real estate transactions tend to be generally driven by supply and demand for commercial space in a particular area rather than by interest rate fluctuations, we believe that our commercial real estate title insurance business is less dependent on the industry cycles discussed above than our residential real estate title business. Factors including U.S. tax reform and a shift in U.S. monetary policy have had, or are expected to have, varying effects on availability of financing in the U.S. Lower corporate and individual tax rates and corporate tax-deductibility of capital expenditures have provided increased capacity and incentive for investments in commercial real estate. In recent years, we experienced fluctuating demand in commercial real estate markets. Commercial volumes were depressed throughout 2023 and 2024 when compared to recent preceding years. Commercial volumes increased significantly in 2025. The increase in commercial volumes in 2025 was broad-based, across several asset classes.

We continually monitor mortgage origination trends and believe that, based on our ability to produce industry leading operating margins through all economic cycles, we are well positioned to adjust our operations for adverse changes in real estate activity and to take advantage of increased volume when demand increases.

Seasonality. Historically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue fluctuations in the real estate industry. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The second and third calendar quarters are typically the strongest quarters in terms of revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of residential transactions in the spring and summer months. The fourth quarter is typically strong due to the desire of commercial entities to complete transactions by year-end. We have noted short-term fluctuations through recent years in resale and refinance transactions as a result of changes in interest rates.

Geographic Operations. Our direct title operations are divided into approximately 166 profit centers. Each profit center processes title insurance transactions within its geographical area, which is usually identified by a county, a group of counties forming a region, or a state, depending on the management structure in that part of the country. We also transact title insurance business through a network of approximately 5,100 agents, primarily in those areas in which agents are the more prevalent title insurance provider. Substantially all of our revenues are generated in the United States.

The following table sets forth the approximate dollar and percentage volumes of our title insurance premium revenue by state:

F&G

The following factors represent some of the key trends and uncertainties that have influenced the development of our F&G segment and its historical financial performance, and we believe these key trends and uncertainties will continue to influence the business and financial performance of our F&G segment in the future.

Market Conditions. Market conditions can change rapidly with significant positive or negative impacts on our results. Volatility can pressure sales and reduce demand as consumers hesitate to make financial decisions. We anticipate various macroeconomic factors will continue to drive uncertainty and instability, which could have a significant impact on the Company during fiscal year 2026. These factors include, among others, consumer spending, business investment, government spending, government shutdown, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, investor and consumer confidence, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, inflation levels, changes in trade policy, tariffs and trade sanctions on goods, trade wars, United States-China relations and supply chain disruptions.

In light of increasing uncertainty in the markets we serve, we are unable to predict how long the current environment will last or the significance of the financial and operational impacts to us. To enhance the attractiveness and profitability of our products and services, we continually monitor the behavior of our customers, as evidenced by annuitization rates and lapse rates, which vary in response to changes in market conditions. See “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of risk factors that could affect market conditions.

Interest Rate Environment. Some of our products include guaranteed minimum crediting rates, most notably our fixed rate annuities. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our reserves, net of reinsurance, and average crediting rate on our fixed rate annuities were $6.4 billion and 4.8%, respectively, and $6.4 billion and 4.4%, respectively. We are required to pay the guaranteed minimum crediting rates even if earnings on our investment portfolio decline, which would negatively impact earnings. In addition, we expect more policyholders to hold policies with comparatively high guaranteed rates for a longer period in a low interest rate environment. Conversely, a rise in average yield on our investment portfolio would increase earnings if the average interest rate we pay on our products does not rise correspondingly. Similarly, we expect that policyholders would be less likely to hold policies with existing guarantees as interest rates rise and the relative value of other new business offerings are increased, which would negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk” and “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of interest rate risk.

Aging of the U.S. Population. We believe that the aging of the U.S. population will continue to increase demand for retirement savings, growth, and income solutions, including demand for our indexed annuity and indexed universal life (“IUL”) products. We serve a growing retirement population, with more than 11,000 Americans turning 65 every day and a projected 30% increase in people age 65-100 over the next 25 years according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The impact of this growth may be offset to some extent by asset outflows as an increasing percentage of the population begins withdrawing assets to convert their savings into income.

Industry Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations. We operate in the sector of the insurance industry that focuses on the needs of middle-income Americans. The underserved middle-income market represents a major growth opportunity for us. As a tool for addressing the unmet need for retirement planning, we believe that many middle-income Americans have grown to appreciate the financial certainty that we believe annuities such as our indexed annuity products afford. For example, the fixed index annuity market grew from nearly $12 billion of sales in 2002 to $130 billion of sales in 2024 and the registered index-linked annuities (“RILA”) market grew from $17 billion of sales in 2019 to $62 billion of sales in 2024. Additionally, this market demand has positively impacted the IUL market as it has expanded from $100 million of annual sales in 2002 to $2 billion of annual sales in 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accounting estimates described below are those we consider critical in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures with respect to contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. See Note A Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for additional description of the significant accounting policies that have been followed in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reserve for Title Claim Losses  

Title companies issue two types of policies, owner's and lender's policies, since both the new owner and the lender in real estate transactions want to know that their interest in the property is insured against certain title defects outlined in the policy. An owner's policy insures the buyer against such defects for as long as he or she owns the property (as well as against warranty claims arising out of the sale of the property by such owner). A lender's policy insures the priority of the lender's security interest over the claims that other parties may have in the property. The maximum amount of liability under a title insurance policy is generally the face amount of the policy plus the cost of defending the insured's title against an adverse claim; however, occasionally we do incur losses in excess of policy limits. While most non-title forms of insurance, including property and casualty, provide for the assumption of risk of loss arising out of unforeseen future events, title insurance serves to protect the policyholder from risk of loss for events that predate the issuance of the policy.

Unlike many other forms of insurance, title insurance requires only a one-time premium for continuous coverage until another policy is warranted due to changes in property circumstances arising from refinance, resale, additional liens, or other events. Unless we issue the subsequent policy, we receive no notice that our exposure under our policy has ended and, as a result, we are unable to track the actual terminations of our exposures.

Our reserve for title claim losses includes reserves for known claims as well as for losses that have been incurred but not yet reported to us (“IBNR”), net of recoupments. We reserve for each known claim based on our review of the estimated amount of the claim and the costs required to settle the claim. Reserves for IBNR claims are estimates that are established at the time the premium revenue is recognized and are based upon historical experience and other factors, including industry trends, claim loss history, legal environment, geographic considerations, and the types of policies written. We also reserve for losses arising from closing and disbursement functions due to fraud or operational error.

Although claims against title insurance policies can be reported relatively soon after the policy has been issued, claims may be reported many years later. Historically, approximately 60% of claims are paid within approximately five years of the policy being written. By their nature, claims are often complex, vary greatly in dollar amounts and are affected by economic and market conditions, as well as the legal environment existing at the time of settlement of the claims. Estimating future title loss payments is difficult because of the complex nature of title claims, the long periods of time over which claims are paid, significantly varying dollar amounts of individual claims and other factors.

Our process for recording our reserves for title claim losses begins with analysis of our loss provision rate. We forecast ultimate losses for each policy year based upon historical policy year loss emergence and development patterns and adjust these to reflect policy year and policy type differences that affect the timing, frequency and severity of claims. We also use a technique that relies on historical loss emergence and on a premium-based exposure measurement. The latter technique is particularly applicable to the most recent policy years, which have few reported claims relative to an expected ultimate claim volume. After considering historical claim losses, reporting patterns and current market information, and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data provided by our legal, claims and underwriting departments, we determine a loss provision rate, which is recorded as a percentage of current title premiums. This loss provision rate is set to provide for losses on current year policies, but due to development of prior years and our long claim duration, it periodically includes amounts of estimated adverse or positive development on prior years' policies. Any significant adjustments to strengthen or release loss reserves resulting from the comparison with our actuarial analysis are made in addition to this loss provision rate. At each quarter end, our recorded reserve for claim losses is initially the result of taking the prior recorded reserve for claim losses, adding the current provision

61

Table of Contents

and subtracting actual paid claims, resulting in an amount that management then compares to the range of reasonable estimates provided by the actuarial calculation.

We recorded our loss provision rate at 4.5% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 related to policies written in those years. The provision rate in 2025, 2024, and 2023 is supported by stability in payments for prior policy years, and qualitative factors that would indicate consistency, including consistency in lender underwriting standards, extension of credit to quality borrowers, a high proportion of refinance activity, claims expense management, mechanic’s lien underwriting practices, and fraud awareness by lenders, title insurers and settlement agents.

Due to the uncertainty inherent in the process and due to the judgment used by both management and our actuary, our ultimate liability may be greater or less than our carried reserves. If the recorded amount is within the actuarial range but not at the central estimate, we assess the position within the actuarial range by analysis of other factors in order to determine that the recorded amount is our best estimate. These factors, which are both qualitative and quantitative, can change from period to period, and include items such as current trends in the real estate industry (which we can assess, but for which there is a time lag in the development of the data), any adjustments from the actuarial estimates needed for the effects of unusually large or small claims, improvements in our claims management processes and other cost saving measures. If the recorded amount is not within a reasonable range of our actuary's central estimate, we may have to record a charge or credit and reassess the loss provision rate on a go forward basis. We will continue to reassess the provision to be recorded in future periods consistent with this methodology.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our recorded reserves were $1,700 million and $1,713 million, respectively, which we determined were reasonable and represented our best estimate and these recorded amounts were within a reasonable range of the central estimates provided by our actuaries. Our recorded reserves were $34 million above the mid-point of the provided

Table of Contents

range of $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion of our actuarial estimates as of December 31, 2025. Our recorded reserves were $61 million above the mid-point of the provided range of our actuarial estimates of $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2024.

During 2025, 2024, and 2023, payment patterns were consistent with our actuaries' and management's expectations. Also, compared to prior years we have seen a leveling off of the ultimate loss ratios in more mature policy years, particularly 2006-2009. While we still see claims opened on these policy years, the proportion of our claims inventory represented by these policy years has continued to decrease. Additionally, we continued to see stable development relating to the 2012 through 2022 policy years, which we believe is indicative of more stringent underwriting standards by us and the lending industry. Policy years 2024 and 2023 have seen some increased levels of early reported and paid claims. Many early reported and paid claims relate to fraudulent activity, such as wire fraud and other types of real estate fraud. Fraud claims are typically reported and paid quickly and are not the type of claims to develop over time in the same manner of other claim types due to a shorter reporting tail. Additionally, the early negative development in 2024 and 2023 is offset by the positive development of policy years 2022 and prior. We continue to watch the development of the more recent years, in addition to historical averages and economic factors when analyzing the current provision rates. Our ending open claim inventory increased from approximately 8,300 claims as of December 31, 2024, to approximately 8,500 claims as of December 31, 2025. If actual claims loss development varies from what is currently expected and is not offset by other factors, it is possible that our recorded reserves may fall outside a reasonable range of our actuaries' central estimate, which may require additional reserve adjustments in future periods.

An approximate $58 million increase (decrease) in our annualized provision for title claim losses would occur if our loss provision rate were 1% higher (lower), based on 2025 title premiums of $5.8 billion. A 10% increase (decrease) in our reserve for title claim losses, as of December 31, 2025, would result in an increase (decrease) in our provision for title claim losses of approximately $170 million.

Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Certain Information on Contractholder Funds

The determination of FPB reserves is dependent on actuarial assumptions. The principal assumptions used to establish liabilities for FPBs are established at issue of the contract and include discount rates, mortality and cash surrender or policy lapse for our traditional life insurance products. The assumptions used require considerable judgment. We review policyholder behavior experience at least annually and update these assumptions when deemed necessary based on additional information that becomes available. Discount rate assumptions are updated at each reporting period and also incorporate changes in risk free rates and option market values. Changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions previously used can significantly affect our reserve levels and related results of operations in a positive or negative direction.

Mortality refers to the incidence of death on covered lives, which triggers contractual death benefit provisions. On our deferred annuities and life insurance products, these provisions may allow for lump sum payments, payments over a period of time, or spousal continuation of the contract. On our life-contingent immediate annuities (which includes life-contingent PRT annuities), the death of a named annuitant or certificate holder may trigger the cessation or reduction of future life-contingent payments due, depending on the presence of a joint annuitant/certificate holder and any remaining guaranteed non-life contingent payment periods. We utilize a combination of internal and industry experience when setting our mortality assumptions.

A surrender rate is the percentage of account value surrendered by the policyholder in exchange for receipt of a cash surrender value. A lapse rate is the percentage of account value canceled by us due to nonpayment of premiums required to maintain coverage on our life insurance products. We make estimates of expected full and partial surrenders of our deferred annuity products based on a combination of internal and industry experience. Management’s best estimate of surrender behavior generally represents a medium-to-long term perspective, as we expect to experience a range of policyholder behavior and market conditions period to period. If actual surrender rates are significantly different from those estimated, such differences could have a significant effect on our reserve levels and related results of operations.

Discount rates refer to the interest rates used to discount future cash flows to the current period to determine a present value. For liability for FPB reserves, the discount rate used is based on the yield curve for A-rated corporate bonds as of the valuation date. Changes in the discount rates from the at-issue or at-purchase discount rates flow through OCI.

We have indexed annuities and IUL contracts that permit the holder to elect an interest rate return or an equity index linked component, where interest credited to the contracts is linked to the performance of various equity indices, such as the S&P 500 Index. This feature represents an embedded derivative under GAAP. The indexed annuities/IUL embedded derivatives are valued at fair value and included in the liability for Contractholder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the ceded portion of the reinsured indexed crediting feature embedded derivatives recorded as a component of the Reinsurance recoverable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are included as a component of Benefits and other changes in policy reserves in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For life-contingent immediate annuity policies, gross premiums received in excess of net premiums are deferred at initial recognition as a deferred profit liability (“DPL”). Gross premiums are measured using assumptions consistent with those used in the measurement of the related liability for FPBs.

Valuation of Fixed Maturity, Preferred and Equity Securities and Derivatives

Our investments in fixed maturity securities have been designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are carried at fair value, net of allowance for expected credit losses, with unrealized gains and losses included within accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) (“AOCI”), net of deferred income taxes. Our equity securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in net earnings. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification and are credited or charged to income on a trade date basis.

Management’s assessment of all available data when determining fair value of the AFS securities is necessary to appropriately apply fair value accounting. Management utilizes information from independent pricing services, who take into account perceived market movements and sector news, as well as a security’s terms and conditions, including any features specific to that issue that may influence risk and marketability. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs may be necessary. We generally obtain one value from our primary external pricing service. In situations where a price is not available from the independent pricing service, we may obtain broker quotes or prices from additional parties recognized to be market participants. We believe the broker quotes are prices at which trades could be executed based on historical trades executed at broker-quoted or slightly higher prices. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flows, matrix pricing or other similar techniques.

We validate external valuations at least quarterly through a combination of procedures that include the evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing services, comparisons to valuations from other independent pricing services, analytical reviews and performance analysis of the prices against trends, and maintenance of a securities watch list. See Note C Fair

Value of Financial Instruments and Note D Investments to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is based upon valuation pricing models or independent broker quotes and represents what we would expect to receive or pay at the balance sheet date if we canceled or exercised the derivative or entered into offsetting positions. Fair values for instruments utilizing valuation pricing models are determined internally using a conventional model and market observable inputs, including interest rates, yield curve volatilities and other factors. Credit risk related to the counterparty is considered when estimating the fair values of these derivatives. However, we are largely protected by collateral arrangements with counterparties when individual counterparty exposures exceed certain thresholds. The fair value of futures contracts (specifically for indexed annuities contracts) at the balance sheet date represents the cumulative unsettled variation margin (open trade equity net of cash settlements). The fair value of an interest rate swap represents the change in projected interest rates between the reporting date and the date the interest rate swap was executed. The fair values of the embedded derivatives in our indexed annuities and IUL contracts are derived using market value of options, use of current and budgeted option cost, swap rates, mortality rates, surrender rates, partial withdrawals and non-performance spread. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of our indexed annuities/IUL embedded derivative liabilities includes an adjustment to reflect the risk that these obligations will not be fulfilled (“non-performance risk”). For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our non-performance risk adjustment was based on the expected loss due to default in debt obligations for similarly rated financial companies. See Note C Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note E Derivative Financial Instruments to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

F&G cedes certain business on a coinsurance funds withheld basis. Assets supporting the arrangements are reported within Funds withheld for reinsurance liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. All assets within the Funds withheld for reinsurance liabilities are recorded in a manner consistent with each respective item of our accounting policies discussed in Note A Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II - Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Investment results for the assets that support the coinsurance that are segregated within the funds withheld account are passed directly to the reinsurer pursuant to the contractual terms of the reinsurance arrangement, which creates embedded derivatives considered to be total return swaps. These embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the underlying reinsurance agreement and thus require bifurcation. For arrangements reinsuring indexed annuities products, the funds withheld account additionally contains an embedded derivative representing the index credit obligation due the reinsurer, resulting in a compound embedded derivative. Beginning in 2025, these embedded derivatives are reported in Funds withheld for reinsurance liabilities, irrespective if in a net asset position or a net liability position, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and prior periods have been reclassified from Prepaid expenses and other assets to conform with the current presentation. The related gains or losses are reported in Recognized gains and (losses), net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Refer to Note C Fair Value of Financial Instruments for descriptions of the fair value methodologies used for these and other derivative financial instruments and Note E Derivative Financial Instruments and Note N F&G Reinsurance to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II - Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

We categorize our fixed maturity securities, preferred securities, equity securities and derivatives into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The following table presents the fair value of fixed maturity securities and equity securities by pricing source, hierarchy level and net asset value (“NAV”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Goodwill  

We have made acquisitions that have resulted in a significant amount of goodwill. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, goodwill was $5,272 million and $5,271 million, respectively. The majority of our goodwill as of December 31, 2025 relates to goodwill recorded in connection with the Chicago Title merger in 2000, our initial acquisition of an ownership interest in ServiceLink in 2014 and our acquisition of F&G in 2020. Refer to Note M Goodwill to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for a summary of recent changes in our Goodwill balance.

In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, we perform a qualitative analysis at the reporting unit level to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our recorded goodwill exceeds its carrying value. Based on the results of this analysis, an annual goodwill impairment test may be completed based on an analysis of the discounted future cash flows generated by the underlying assets. The process of determining whether or not goodwill is impaired or recoverable relies on projections of future cash flows, operating results and market conditions. Future cash flow estimates are based partly on projections of market conditions such as the volume and mix of refinance and purchase transactions and interest rates, which are beyond our control and are likely to fluctuate. While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, these estimates are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from what is assumed in our impairment tests. Such analyses are particularly sensitive to changes in estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. Changes to these estimates might result in material changes in fair value and determination of the recoverability of goodwill, which may result in charges against earnings and a reduction in the carrying value of our goodwill in the future. We completed annual goodwill impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of each period presented using a September 30 measurement date. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we determined there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value exceeded the fair value.

Market Risk Benefits

MRBs are contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the contract holder from other-than-nominal capital market risk (equity, interest and foreign exchange risk) and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk. MRBs include certain contract features primarily on FIA contracts that provide minimum guarantees to policyholders, such as Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDBs”) and Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits (“GMWBs”) and Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefits (“GMAB”) riders. In certain reinsurance transactions, the underlying risks ceded to a reinsurer contain MRBs. MRBs, inclusive of reinsured MRBs, are measured at fair value using a risk neutral valuation method, which is based on current net amounts at risk, market data, internal and industry experience, and other factors.

The principal policyholder behavior assumptions used to calculate MRBs are established at issue of the contract and include mortality, contract full and partial surrenders, and utilization of the GMWB rider benefits. The assumptions used reflect a combination of internal experience, industry experience and judgment. We review overall policyholder behavior experience at

66

Table of Contents

least annually and update these assumptions when deemed necessary based on additional information that becomes available. Changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions previously used can significantly affect our MRBs and related results of operations in a positive or negative direction.

See Note W Market Risk Benefits to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Mortality refers to the incidence of death amongst policyholders on covered lives, which triggers contractual death benefit provisions. These provisions may allow for lump sum payments, payments over a period of time or spousal continuation of the contract. We utilize a combination of actual internal and industry experience when setting our mortality assumptions.

A surrender rate is the percentage of account value surrendered by the policyholder in exchange for receipt of a cash surrender value. We make estimates of expected full and partial surrenders of our deferred annuity products based on a combination of internal and industry experience. Management’s best estimate of surrender generally represents a medium-to-long term perspective, as we expect to experience a range of policyholder behavior and market conditions period to period. If actual surrender rates are significantly different from those estimated, such differences could have a significant effect on our MRBs and related results of operations.

We have been issuing GMWB products since 2008. We make assumptions for policyholder behavior as it relates to GMWB utilization using a higher degree of industry experience and judgment than our other behavioral assumptions because internal experience, which we review annually, is still emerging. If emerging experience deviates from our assumptions on GMWB utilization, it could have a significant effect on MRBs and related results of operations.

Accounting for Income Taxes  

As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, we are required to determine income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing recognition of items for income tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that deferred income tax assets will be realized and, to the extent we believe that realizability is not likely, establish a valuation allowance. Determination of income tax expense requires estimates and can involve complex issues that may require an extended period to resolve. Further, the estimated level of annual pre-tax income can cause the overall effective income tax rate to vary from period to period. We believe that our tax positions comply with applicable tax law and that we adequately provide for any known tax contingencies. We believe the estimates and assumptions used to support our evaluation of tax benefit realization are reasonable. Final determination of prior-year tax liabilities, either by settlement with tax authorities or expiration of statutes of limitations, could be materially different than estimates reflected in assets and liabilities and historical income tax provisions. The outcome of these final determinations could have a material effect on our income tax provision, net income or cash flows in the period that determination is made.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, market conditions resulted in deferred tax assets related to the net unrealized capital losses in the Company’s investment portfolio. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the establishment of a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. When assessing the need for valuation allowance on the unrealized capital loss deferred tax assets, we assert a tax planning strategy to hold the vast majority of underlying securities to recovery or maturity. Our ability to assert such a tax planning strategy is dependent upon factors such as the Company’s asset/liability matching process, overall investment strategy, projected future annuity product sales, and expected liquidity needs. In the event these estimates differ from our prior estimates due to the receipt of new information, we may be required to significantly change the income tax expense recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. This includes a further significant decline in value of assets incorporated into our tax planning strategies, which could lead to an increase of our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets having an adverse effect on current and future results.

Refer to Note S Income Taxes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for details.

 Revenues.

Total revenues increased by $764 million in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase was attributable to increases in direct title insurance premiums, agency title insurance premiums, escrow, title-related and other fees, and interest and investment income, partially offset by net recognized losses in 2025 as compared to net recognized gains in 2024. Total revenues increased by $1,929 million in 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily attributable to increases in direct title insurance premiums, agency title insurance premiums, escrow, title-related and other fees, interest and investment income and net recognized gains in 2024 as compared to net recognized losses in 2023.

See Note K Revenue Recognition to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for a breakout of our consolidated revenues.

Total net earnings from continuing operations decreased by $712 million in 2025 as compared to 2024, and increased by $873 million in 2024 as compared to 2023.

The change in revenue and net earnings from our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.    

Interest and investment income levels are primarily a function of securities markets, interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment. Interest and investment income was $3,237 million, $3,124 million and $2,607 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Recognized gains and losses, net totaled $(60) million, $83 million and $(164) million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Recognized gains and losses, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 are primarily attributable to losses on sales of equity securities of $159 million, partially offset by gains on sales of other assets of $63

68

Table of Contents

million and non-cash valuation losses on equity and preferred security holdings of $9 million. Recognized gains and losses, net for the year ended December 31, 2024 are primarily attributable to gains on sales of equity securities and other assets of $193 million and realized gains on derivatives of $50 million, partially offset by recognized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities of $38 million and non-cash valuation losses on equity and preferred security holdings of $117 million. Recognized gains and losses, net for the year ended December 31, 2023 are primarily attributable to losses on sales of fixed maturity securities of $166 million, losses on sales of equity and preferred securities of $104 million and losses on sales of mortgages and other assets of $75 million, partially offset by non-cash valuation gains on equity and preferred security holdings and other invested assets of $181 million.

See Note D Investments to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for a breakout of our consolidated interest and investment income and realized gains and losses.

Expenses.

Our operating expenses consist primarily of Personnel costs; Other operating expenses, which in our Title segment are incurred as orders are received and processed; Agent commissions, which are incurred as title agency revenue is recognized; and Benefits and other changes in policy reserves, which in our F&G segment are charged to earnings in the period they are earned by the policyholder based on their selected strategy. For traditional life and immediate annuities, policy benefit claims are charged to expense in the period that the claims are incurred, net of reinsurance recoveries. Title insurance premiums, escrow fees and title-related fees are generally recognized as income at the time the underlying transaction closes or other service is provided. Direct title operations revenue often lags approximately 45-60 days behind expenses, therefore; gross margins may fluctuate. The changes in the market environment, mix of business between direct and agency operations and the contributions from our various business units have historically impacted margins and net earnings. We have implemented programs and have taken necessary actions to maintain expense levels consistent with revenue streams. However, a short-term lag exists in reducing controllable fixed costs and certain fixed costs are incurred regardless of revenue levels.

Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation, and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. 

Agent commissions represent the portion of premiums retained by our third-party agents pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts.

Benefit expenses for deferred annuity, indexed annuities and IUL policies include index credits and interest credited to contractholder account balances and benefit claims in excess of contract account balances, net of reinsurance recoveries. Other changes in policy reserves include the change in the fair value of the indexed annuities embedded derivative and the change in the reserve for secondary guarantee benefit payments. Other changes in policy reserves also include the change in reserves for life insurance products.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of facilities expenses, title plant maintenance, premium taxes (which insurance underwriters are required to pay on title premiums in lieu of franchise and other state taxes), appraisal fees and other cost of sales on ServiceLink product offerings and other title-related products, postage and courier services, computer services, professional services, travel expenses, general insurance, and bad debt expense on our trade and notes receivable. 

The Provision for title claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title and title-related claims, and escrow losses.

The change in expenses attributable to our reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below. 

Income tax expense was $753 million, $367 million and $192 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 53.9%, 21.1% and 27.7% in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. The increase in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before taxes in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributable to the recording of the deferred tax liability for the outside basis difference in FNF's investment in F&G, offset by releasing a portion of the valuation allowances in the 2025 period that were recorded in prior periods. The decrease in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before taxes in 2024 as compared to 2023 is primarily attributable to favorable movement in the valuation allowance in 2024 as compared to 2023.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, changes in market conditions, including varying interest rates, resulted in deferred tax assets related to the net unrealized capital losses in the Company’s investment portfolio. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the establishment of a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

When assessing the need for a valuation allowance for the F&G segment on the unrealized capital loss deferred tax assets, F&G asserts a tax planning strategy to hold the vast majority of underlying securities to recovery or maturity. F&G’s ability to

69

Table of Contents

assert such a tax planning strategy is dependent upon factors such as F&G’s asset/liability matching process, overall investment strategy, projected future annuity product sales, and expected liquidity needs.

In the event these estimates differ from our prior estimates due to the receipt of new information, the Company may be required to significantly change the income tax expense recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. This includes a further significant decline in value of assets incorporated into our tax planning strategies, which could lead to an increase of our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets having an adverse effect on current and future results.

Title premiums from direct operations increased in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase is attributable to increases in total closed order volume from both purchase and refinance transactions, and an increase in fee per file. Title premiums from direct operations increased in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in total closed order volume from purchase and refinance transactions, and an increase in fee per file. The residential refinance market has considerably lower fees per closed order than commercial or residential purchase transactions.

We experienced an increase in closed title insurance order volumes from both purchase and refinance transactions in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024. Total closed order volumes were 956,000 in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 879,000 in the year ended December 31, 2024, an overall increase of 9%. Total closed order volumes from refinance transactions, which have a lower fee per file than purchase transactions, were 244,000 in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 183,000 in the year ended December 31, 2024, an overall increase of 25%. Total closed order volumes from refinance transactions were 183,000 in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 156,000 in the year ended December 31, 2023, an overall increase of 17%.

Total opened title insurance order volumes increased in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase was attributable to increases in opened title orders from both purchase transactions and refinance transactions. Total opened title insurance order volumes increased in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. The increase was attributable to increases in opened title orders from both purchase transactions and refinance transactions.

The average fee per file in our direct operations was $3,948 in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3,742 in the year ended December 31, 2024. The average fee per file in our direct operations was $3,742 in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3,617 in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in average fee per file in 2025 and 2024 reflects home price appreciation and a stable commercial market, which more than offset the greater proportion of closed order from refinance transactions in both 2025 and 2024. The fee per file tends to change as the mix of refinance and purchase transactions changes, because purchase transactions involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy, resulting in higher fees, whereas refinance transactions only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower fees.

Table of Contents

Title premiums from agency operations increased $297 million, or 10%, in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, and increased $343 million, or 13%, in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. The current trends in the agency business reflect a challenging residential purchase and refinance environment in many markets throughout the country, consistent with trends in the direct business.

Escrow, title-related and other fees increased by $185 million, or 8%, in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, and increased by $79 million, or 4%, in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. Escrow fees, which are more closely related to our direct operations, increased by $91 million, or 11%, in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, and increased $58 million, or 8%, in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023. The increases in 2025 and 2024 were relatively consistent with the increase in direct premiums. Other fees in the Title segment, excluding escrow fees, increased by $94 million, or 7%, in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, and increased $21 million, or 2%, in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023. The increases in Other fees in 2025 and 2024 were attributable to various immaterial items. The change in both escrow fees and other fees is directionally consistent with the change in title premiums from direct operations in 2025 and 2024.

Interest and investment income levels are primarily a function of securities markets, interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment. Interest and investment income increased $4 million, or 1%, in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, and increased $21 million, or 6%, in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. The increases in 2025 and 2024 were attributable to various immaterial items.

Recognized net losses were $78 million, $6 million, and $9 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The variability in recognized gains and losses, net is primarily attributable to fluctuations in non-cash valuation changes on our equity and preferred security holdings in addition to various other individually immaterial items.

Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. Personnel costs increased $288 million, or 11%, in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, and increased $151 million, or 6% in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributable to increased headcount, elevated health claims and increased variable costs from modest increases in revenue and earnings. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023 is primarily attributable to inflationary salary increases and increased variable costs from modest increases in revenue and earnings. Personnel costs as a percentage of total revenues from direct title premiums and escrow, title-related and other fees were 60%, 61% and 62% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Average employee count in the Title segment was 22,248, 21,206, and 21,398 in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Other operating expenses increased by $102 million, or 8%, in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, and increased $9 million, or 1%, in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. Other operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue excluding agency premiums, interest and investment income and recognized gains and losses were 27%, 28%, and 30% in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Agent commissions represent the portion of premiums retained by agents pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts. Agent commissions and the resulting percentage of agent premiums that we retain vary according to regional differences in real estate closing practices and state regulations.

The following table illustrates the relationship of agent premiums and agent commissions:

The claim loss provision for title insurance was $262 million, $232 million, and $207 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. The provision reflects a provision rate of 4.5% of title premiums in all periods. We continually monitor and evaluate our loss provision level, actual claims paid, and the loss reserve position each quarter. This loss provision rate is set to provide for losses on current year policies, but due to development of prior years and our long claim duration, it periodically includes amounts of estimated adverse or positive development on prior years' policies.

F&G

Segment Overview

Through our majority owned F&G subsidiary, which we acquired on June 1, 2020, we provide our principal annuity and life insurance products through the insurance subsidiaries composing our F&G segment, FGL Insurance and FGL NY Insurance. Our customers range across a variety of age groups and are concentrated in the middle-income market. Our indexed annuities products provide for pre-retirement wealth accumulation and post-retirement income management. Our IUL products provide wealth protection and transfer opportunities. Life and annuity products are primarily distributed through IMOs and independent insurance agents, and beginning in 2020, independent broker dealers and banks. Additionally, we provide funding agreements and PRT solutions to various institutions through consultants and brokers.

In setting the features and pricing of our flagship indexed annuity products relative to our targeted net margin, we take into account our expectations regarding (1) the difference between the net investment income we earn and the sum of the interest credited to policyholders and the cost of hedging our risk on the policies; (2) fees, including surrender charges and rider fees, partly offset by vesting bonuses that we pay our policyholders; and (3) a number of related expenses, including benefits and changes in reserves, acquisition costs, and general and administrative expenses.

Key Components of Our Historical Results of Operations

Through our insurance subsidiaries, we issue a broad portfolio of deferred annuities (indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities), IUL insurance, immediate annuities, funding agreements and PRT solutions. A deferred annuity is a type of contract that accumulates value on a tax deferred basis and typically begins making specified periodic or lump sum payments a certain number of years after the contract has been issued. IUL insurance is a complementary type of contract that accumulates value in a cash value account and provides a payment to designated beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s death. An immediate annuity is a type of contract that begins making specified payments within one annuity period (e.g., one month or one year) and typically makes payments of principal and interest earnings over a period of time. As defined by the Iowa Insurance Division, a funding agreement is an agreement for an insurer to accept and accumulate funds and to make one or more payments at future dates in amounts that are not based on mortality or morbidity contingencies of the person to whom the funding agreement is issued. In essence, funding agreement providers issue fixed maturity contracts with fixed or floating interest rates in exchange for a single upfront premium. Our PRT products are comparable to income annuities, as we generally receive a single, upfront premium in exchange for paying a guaranteed stream of future income payments which are typically fixed in nature but may vary in duration based on participant mortality experience.

Under GAAP, premium collections for deferred annuities (indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities), immediate annuities and PRT without life contingency, and deposits received for funding agreements are reported in the financial statements as deposit liabilities (i.e., contractholder funds) instead of as sales or revenues. Similarly, cash payments to customers are reported as decreases in the liability for contractholder funds and not as expenses. Sources of revenues for products accounted for as deposit liabilities are net investment income, surrender charges, cost of insurance and other charges deducted from contractholder funds (i.e., amortization of URL), and net realized gains (losses) on investments. Components of expenses for products accounted for as deposit liabilities are interest-sensitive and index product benefits (primarily interest credited to account balances or the hedging cost of providing index credits to the policyholder), amortization of VOBA, DAC and DSI, and other operating costs and expenses.

F&G hedges certain portions of its exposure to product related equity market risk by entering into derivative transactions. We purchase derivatives consisting predominantly of equity options and, to a lesser degree, futures contracts (specifically for indexed annuity contracts) on the equity indices underlying the applicable policy. These derivatives are used to offset the reserve impact of the index credits due to policyholders under the indexed annuity and IUL contracts. The majority of all such equity options are one-year options purchased to match the funding requirements underlying the indexed annuity/IUL contracts. We attempt to manage the cost of these purchases through the terms of our indexed annuity/IUL contracts, which permit us to change caps, spread, or participation rates on each policy's annual anniversary, subject to certain guaranteed minimums that must be maintained. The equity options and futures contracts are marked to fair value with the change in fair value included as a component of net investment gains (losses). The change in fair value of the equity options and futures contracts includes the gains and losses recognized at the expiration of the instruments’ terms or upon early termination and the changes in fair value of open positions. In addition, to reduce market risks from interest rate changes on our earnings associated with our floating rate investments, during 2023 we began to execute pay-float and receive-fixed interest rate swaps.

Market risk benefits (“MRBs”) are contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the contract holder from other-than-nominal capital market risk (equity, interest and foreign exchange risk) and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk. MRBs (inclusive of reinsured MRBs) are measured at fair value using a risk neutral valuation method, which is based on current net amounts at risk, market data, internal and industry experience, and other factors. The

73

Table of Contents

change in fair value of MRBs generally reflects impacts from actual policyholder behavior (including surrenders of the benefit), changes in interest rates, and changes in equity market returns. Generally higher interest rates and equity returns result in gains whereas lower interest rates and equity returns result in losses. Reinsured MRBs are valued using a methodology consistent with direct MRBs, with the exception of the non-performance spread which reflects the credit of the reinsurer.

Earnings from products accounted for as deposit liabilities are primarily generated from the excess of net investment income earned over the sum of interest credited to policyholders and the cost of hedging our risk on indexed annuity/IUL policies, which includes the expenses incurred to fund the index credit with respect to indexed annuities/IULs. Proceeds received upon expiration or early termination of equity options purchased to fund annual index credits are recorded as part of the change in fair value of derivatives and are largely offset by an expense for index credits earned on annuity contractholder fund balances.

Revenues

Life insurance premiums and other fees

Life insurance premiums and other fees primarily reflect premiums on life-contingent PRTs and traditional life insurance products, which are recognized as revenue when due from the policyholder, as well as policy rider fees primarily on indexed annuity policies, the cost of insurance on IUL policies and surrender charges assessed against policy withdrawals in excess of the policyholder's allowable penalty-free amounts (up to 10% of the prior year's value, subject to certain limitations). The following table summarizes the Life insurance premiums and other fees, on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

•Surrender charges were modestly lower for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, and higher for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. These charges primarily reflect withdrawals from policyholders with surrender charges and market value adjustments (“MVAs”), primarily on our indexed annuities policies, and are subject to changes in the interest rate environment. See “Item 1. Business – The Products We Offer – Withdrawal Option for Deferred Annuities,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion on surrender charges and MVAs.

•Policyholder fees and other income increased for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, primarily reflecting higher guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) rider fees and increased cost of insurance charges, net of changes in unearned revenue liabilities (“URL”) on IUL policies from growth in business. GMWB rider fees are based on the policyholder's benefit base and are collected at the end of the policy year. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025 also includes a reinsurance true-up adjustment.

gains on our unconsolidated owned distribution investments and mark-to-market gains on our preferred and equity securities.

•For the year ended December 31, 2023, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturity available-for-sale securities, equity securities, and other invested assets is primarily the result of realized losses on fixed maturity available-for-sale securities, partially offset by mark-to-market gains on our equity securities and realized gains on other invested assets.

•The change in allowance for expected credit losses primarily relates to available for sale securities.

•For all periods, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain derivative instruments primarily relate to the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity options and futures used to hedge indexed annuity and IUL products, including gains on option and futures expiration and changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps. See the table below for primary drivers of gains (losses) on certain derivatives.

•The fair value of the reinsurance-related embedded derivatives in our funds withheld (“FWH”) reinsurance agreements are estimated based upon the change in fair value (for total return swaps), or the fair value (for the index credit obligation due the reinsurer), of the assets supporting the funds withheld from reinsurance liabilities.

We utilize a combination of static (equity options) and dynamic (long futures contracts) instruments in our product hedging strategy. Equity options and futures contracts are generally based upon the performance of various equity indices, such as the S&P 500 Index, as well as other bond and gold market indices.

We utilize interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from interest rate changes on our earnings associated with our floating rate investments and we utilize foreign currency swaps to reduce market risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that impact earnings associated with our foreign currency denominated investments.

The components of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain derivative instruments hedging our indexed annuities, universal life products and floating rate investments are summarized in the table below for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

•Realized gains and (losses) on certain derivative instruments are directly correlated to the performance of the indices upon which the equity options and futures contracts are based and the value of the derivatives at the time of expiration compared to the value at the time of purchase.

•The changes in unrealized gains (losses) due to the net changes in fair value of equity options and futures contracts are driven by the underlying performance of the indices, such as the S&P 500 Index, upon which the equity options and futures contracts are based during each respective period relative to the respective indices on the policyholder buy dates.

•The net change in fair value of the foreign currency and interest rate swaps were primarily driven by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate indexes underlying the swap contracts.

•PRT agreements, primarily representing the change in reserves associated with PRT premiums during the periods, were modestly lower during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, and increased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 reflecting the timing of PRT transactions. PRT transactions are subject to fluctuation period to period.

•The indexed annuities/IUL market related liability movements for all periods presented are mainly driven by changes in the equity markets, non-performance spreads, and risk-free rates during the respective periods. The change in risk free rates and non-performance spreads increased (decreased) the indexed annuities market related liability by approximately $138 million, $(203) million, and $106 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The remaining changes in market value of the market related liability movements for all periods were primarily driven by equity market impacts. See “Revenues — Recognized gains and losses, net” above for summary and discussion of net unrealized gains (losses) on certain derivative instruments.

•Annually, typically in the third quarter, we review assumptions associated with reserves for policy benefits and product guarantees.

•For the year ended December 31, 2025, based on policyholder behavior, experience and interest rate movements, we reflected updates to surrender assumptions for recent and expected near term policyholder behavior, as well as updated certain indexed annuities assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative component within Contractholder funds. These changes resulted in a decrease in total benefits and other changes in policy reserves of approximately $20 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

•For the year ended December 31, 2024, based on policyholder behavior, experience and interest rate movements, we reflected updates to surrender assumptions for recent and expected near term policyholder behavior, as well as updated certain indexed annuities assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative component within Contractholder funds. These changes resulted in a decrease in total benefits and other changes in policy reserves of approximately $89 million.

•For the year ended December 31, 2023, based on increases in interest rates and pricing changes, we updated certain indexed annuities assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative component within Contractholder funds and also aligned reserves to actual policyholder behavior. These changes resulted in a increase in total benefits and other changes in policy reserves of approximately $73 million.

•Index credits, interest credited and bonuses were higher for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, primarily reflecting higher index credits and interest credited on indexed annuities and other policies as a result of market movement during the respective periods and higher interest credited associated with the growth in PRT agreements.

Investment Portfolio

The types of assets in which we may invest are influenced by various state laws, which prescribe qualified investment assets applicable to insurance companies. Within the parameters of these laws, we invest in assets giving consideration to four primary investment objectives: (i) maintain robust absolute returns; (ii) provide reliable yield and investment income; (iii) preserve capital; and (iv) provide liquidity to meet policyholder and other corporate obligations.

Our investment portfolio is designed to contribute stable earnings, excluding short-term mark-to-market effects, and balance risk across diverse asset classes and is primarily invested in high quality fixed income securities.

Our investments include assets backing reserves as part of coinsurance with funds withheld agreements. The funds withheld invested assets are reported within their respective line items.

Insurance statutes regulate the type of investments that our life insurance subsidiaries are permitted to make and limit the amount of funds that may be used for any one type of investment. In light of these statutes and regulations, and our business and investment strategy, we generally seek to invest in primarily high-grade fixed-income assets across a wide range of sectors, including Corporate securities, U.S. Government and government-sponsored agency securities, and Structured securities, among others.

The NAIC’s Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) is responsible for the day-to-day credit quality assessment and valuation of securities owned by state regulated insurance companies. Insurance companies report ownership of securities to the SVO when such securities are eligible for regulatory filings. The SVO conducts credit analysis on these securities for the purpose of assigning an NAIC designation or unit price. Typically, if a security has been rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), the SVO utilizes that rating and assigns an NAIC designation based upon the NAIC published comparison of NRSRO ratings to NAIC designations.

The NAIC determines ratings for non-agency Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) using modeling that estimates security level expected losses under a variety of economic scenarios. For such assets issued prior to January 1, 2013, an insurer’s amortized cost basis in applicable assets can impact the assigned rating. In the tables below, we present the rating of structured securities based on ratings from the NAIC rating

methodologies described above (which in some cases do not correspond to rating agency designations). All NAIC designations (e.g., NAIC 1-6) are based on the NAIC methodologies.

Non-Agency RMBS Exposure    

Our investment in non-agency RMBS securities is predicated on the conservative and adequate cushion between purchase price and NAIC 1 rating, general lack of sensitivity to interest rates, positive convexity to prepayment rates and correlation between the price of the securities and the unfolding recovery of the housing market.

The fair value of our investments in subprime securities and Alt-A RMBS securities were $4 million and $48 million as of December 31, 2025, respectively, and $29 million and $44 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 92% and 93%, respectively, of the subprime and Alt-A RMBS exposures were rated NAIC 2 or higher.

ABS and CLO Exposures

Our ABS exposures are largely diversified by underlying collateral and issuer type. Our CLO exposures are generally senior tranches of CLOs which have leveraged loans as their underlying collateral.

As of December 31, 2025, the CLO and ABS positions were trading at a net unrealized gain of $42 million and a net unrealized loss of $133 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the CLO and ABS positions were trading at a net unrealized gain of $92 million and a net unrealized loss of $207 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the credit quality by NRSRO rating, or NAIC designation equivalent, of our AFS ABS portfolio at December 31, 2025, and 2024. Balances at December 31, 2025 reflect classifications consistent with the NAIC Principles Based Bond Definition Project effective January 1, 2025.

Mortgage Loans

Commercial Mortgage Loans

We diversify our commercial mortgage loans (“CMLs”) portfolio by geographic region and property type to attempt to reduce concentration risk. We continuously evaluate CMLs based on relevant current information to ensure properties are performing at a level to secure the related debt. Loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt-service coverage (“DSC”) ratios are utilized to assess the risk and quality of CMLs. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our mortgage loans on real estate portfolio had a weighted average DSC ratio of 2.3 times and a weighted average LTV ratio of 57% for both periods.

We consider a CML delinquent when a loan payment is greater than 30 days past due. For mortgage loans that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one CML that was delinquent in principal or interest payments. We had no CMLs in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note D Investments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on our CMLs, including our distribution by property type, geographic region, LTV and DSC ratios.

Residential Mortgage Loans

Our residential mortgage loans ("RMLs") are primarily closed end, amortizing loans and 100% of the properties are in the United States. We diversify our RML portfolio by state to attempt to reduce concentration risk. RMLs have a primary credit quality indicator of either a performing or non-performing loan. We define non-performing RMLs as those that are 90 or more days past due and/or in non-accrual status.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are over 90 days delinquent. If a loan becomes over 90 days delinquent, it is our general policy to initiate foreclosure proceedings unless a workout arrangement to bring the loan current can be put in place. See Note D Investments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for additional information on our RMLs.

Expected Credit Losses and Watch List

F&G prepares a watch list to identify securities to evaluate for expected credit losses. Factors used in preparing the watch list include fair values relative to amortized cost, ratings and negative ratings actions and other factors. Detailed analysis is performed for each security on the watch list to further assess the presence of credit impairment loss indicators and, where present, calculate an allowance for expected credit loss or direct write-down of a security’s amortized cost.

The watch list excludes structured securities as we have separate processes to evaluate the credit quality on the structured securities.

There were 71 and 45 structured securities with a fair value of $237 million and $146 million, respectively, to which we had potential credit exposure as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our analysis of these structured securities, which included cash flow testing, resulted in allowances for expected credit losses of $86 million and $62 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Refer to Note D Investments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the allowance for expected credit loss.

Our investment portfolio had an immaterial amount of direct exposure to European sovereign debt as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. We have no exposure to investments in Russia or Ukraine and de minimis investments in peripheral countries in the region.

Interest and Investment Income

For discussion regarding our interest and investment income and investment gains (losses), net, refer to Note D Investments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

AFS Securities

For additional information regarding our AFS securities, including the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains (losses), and fair value as well as the amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity AFS securities by contractual maturities, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, refer to Note D Investments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Concentrations of Financial Instruments

For certain information regarding our concentrations of financial instruments, refer to Note D Investments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Derivatives

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by our counterparties on derivative instruments. We attempt to reduce this credit risk by purchasing such derivative instruments from large, well-established financial institutions.

We also hold cash and cash equivalents received from counterparties for derivative instrument collateral, as well as U.S. Government securities pledged as derivative instrument collateral, if our counterparty’s net exposures exceed pre-determined thresholds.

We are required to pay counterparties the effective federal funds rate each day for cash collateral posted to F&G for daily mark to market margin changes. We reduce the negative interest cost associated with cash collateral posted from counterparties under various ISDA agreements by reinvesting derivative cash collateral. This program permits collateral cash received to be invested in short term Treasury securities, bank deposits and commercial paper rated A1/P1, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note E Derivative Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II - Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our derivatives and our exposure to credit loss on derivatives.

The revenue in the Corporate and Other segment for all years represents revenue generated by our non-title real estate technology and brokerage subsidiaries as well as mark-to-market valuation changes on certain corporate deferred compensation plans.

Total revenues in the Corporate and Other segment decreased $2 million, or 1% in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, and increased $64 million, or 23%, in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023. The decrease in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024 is attributable to various immaterial items. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023 is primarily attributable to a $43 million increase in dividends received from F&G and a $33 million impairment of cost method investments in 2023, partially offset by a $12 million decrease in interest and investment income related to short-term investments and various other immaterial items. The dividends received from F&G are eliminated upon consolidation.

Personnel costs in the Corporate and Other segment increased $4 million, or 3%, in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, and increased $25 million, or 19%, in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024 is attributable to various immaterial items. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023 is primarily attributable to inflationary pressures on salaries expense and a $13 million increase is stock compensation expense associated with a restricted stock grant to our chairman.

Other operating expenses in the Corporate and Other segment increased $2 million, or 2%, in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024, and decreased $29 million, or 22%, in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024 is attributable to various immaterial items. The decrease in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023 is primarily attributable to a $10 million reduction in expenses related to the 2023 cybersecurity incident, a $9 million reduction in expenses related to the termination of our pension plan and other various immaterial items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, claim payments, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, stock repurchases and dividends on our common stock. We paid dividends of $2.02 per share in 2025, or approximately $546 million to our common shareholders. On February 19, 2026, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.52 per share, payable on March 31, 2026, to FNF common shareholders of record as of March 17, 2026. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as described below. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,636 million, short term investments of $1,920 million and available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $800 million and available capacity under the Amended F&G Credit Agreement of $750 million.

On January 13, 2025, F&G completed its public offering of its 7.30% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2065 with an aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the "7.30% F&G Notes"). F&G used a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem the outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% F&G Senior Notes. Refer to Note A Business and Summary of Significant Account Policies and Note F Notes Payable to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for additional details on the 7.30% F&G Notes. On March 24, 2025, F&G completed a public offering of 8,000,000 shares of F&G common stock, par value $0.001 per share. In connection with the offering, F&G entered into an underwriting agreement, pursuant to which they granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,200,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters agreed to resell to FNF 4,500,000 shares of F&G common stock at the same price per share paid by the underwriters, which was $33.60 per share. The underwriters option expired unexercised. F&G is using the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the support of organic growth opportunities.

We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to the amount of our dividend, reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, investing in growth of our subsidiaries, making acquisitions and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, through cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets, potential issuances of additional debt or equity securities, and borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility and the F&G Credit Facility. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to ensure that we can meet our cash requirements. We forecast the needs of all of our subsidiaries and periodically review their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts. 

Our title insurance subsidiaries generate cash from premiums earned and their respective investment portfolios, and these funds are adequate to satisfy the payments of claims and other liabilities. Due to the magnitude of our title segment investment portfolio in relation to our title claim loss reserves, we do not specifically match durations of our investments to the cash outflows required to pay claims, but do manage outflows on a shorter time frame.

Our two significant sources of internally generated funds are dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we receive cash from our subsidiaries in the form of dividends and as reimbursement for operating and other administrative expenses we incur. The reimbursements are paid within the guidelines of management agreements among us and our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries are restricted by state regulation in their ability to pay dividends and make distributions. Each applicable state of domicile regulates the extent to which our title underwriters can pay dividends or make other distributions. As of December 31, 2025, $1,141 million of our net assets were restricted from dividend payments without prior approval from the relevant departments of insurance. We anticipate that our title insurance subsidiaries will pay or make dividends to us in 2026 of approximately $437 million. Our underwritten title companies and non-insurance subsidiaries are not regulated to the same extent as our insurance subsidiaries.

The maximum dividend permitted by law is not necessarily indicative of an insurer’s actual ability to pay dividends, which may be constrained by business and regulatory considerations, such as the impact of dividends on surplus, which could affect an insurer’s ratings or competitive position, the amount of premiums that can be written and the ability to pay future dividends. Further, depending on business and regulatory conditions, we may in the future need to retain cash in our underwriters or even contribute cash to one or more of them in order to maintain their ratings or their statutory capital position. Such a requirement could be the result of investment losses, reserve charges, adverse operating conditions in the current economic environment or changes in statutory accounting requirements by regulators.

Cash flow from our operations will be used for general corporate purposes including to reinvest in operations, repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase stock, pursue other strategic initiatives and/or conserve cash.

Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows provided by operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $5,828 million, $6,815 million, and $6,478 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $987 million in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributable to the decrease in cash inflows from net earnings, decreased cash inflows associated with the change in funds withheld from reinsurers of $518 million and decreased cash inflows associated with the change in future policy benefits of $143 million, partially offset by increased cash inflows from the change in derivative collateral liabilities of $158 million and increased cash inflows associated with the change in other assets and other liabilities of $206 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $337 million in 2024 as compared to 2023 is primarily attributable to the increase in net earnings of $873 million, increased cash inflows associated with the change in future policy benefits of $528 million, increased cash inflows associated with the change in funds withheld from reinsurers of $409 million and net cash inflows associated with the change in income taxes of $83 million in 2024 as compared to net cash

outflows of $50 million in 2023, partially offset by reduced net cash inflows associated with the change in derivative collateral liabilities of $319 million and increased net cash outflows associated with the timing of receipts and payments of prepaid assets, payables, and receivables of $268 million.

Investing Cash Flows. Our cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $8,934 million, $7,862 million, and $9,090 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2025 as compared to 2024 of $1,072 million is primarily associated with increased cash outflows for purchases of investment securities of $5,373 million, increased cash outflows for additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $1,362 million, partially increased cash inflows from proceeds, sales and calls of investment securities of $2,711 million, increased net proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investment securities of $2,374 million and reduced cash outflows associated with acquisitions of $524 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities in 2024 as compared to 2023 of $1,228 million is primarily associated with increased cash inflows from proceeds from sales, calls and maturities of investment securities of $6,399 million, increased cash inflows from distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates of $198 million and decreased investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $165 million, partially offset by increased purchases of investment securities of $3,840 million, increased cash outflows associated with acquisitions of $287 million and net purchases of short-term investment securities of $1,416 million in 2024 as compared to net proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investment securities of $340 million in 2023.

Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and capitalized software were $147 million, $146 million, and $132 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively.

Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $2,263 million, $1,759 million, and $3,093 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities of $504 million in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily associated with increased cash inflows from contractholder deposits of $1,428 million, repayments under the F&G credit agreement of $365 million in 2024, cash inflows from the offering of F&G common stock of $117 million and net cash inflows associated with the change in secured trust deposits of $180 million in 2025 as compared to net cash outflows of $179 million in 2024, partially offset by increased contractholder withdrawals of $753 million, reduced cash inflows from debt offerings of $675 million and increased purchases of treasury stock of $251 million. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $1,334 million in 2024 as compared to 2023 is primarily associated with increased cash outflows from contractholder withdrawals of $3,385 million, cash outflows for the tender offer of $250 million of our 5.50% F&G Notes and increased cash outflows associated with repayments of principal outstanding on our F&G Credit Agreement of $180 million, partially offset by increased cash inflows from contractholder deposits of $2,360 million and increased cash inflows associated with the issuance of our 6.25% F&G Senior Notes of $500 million and the issuance of our 6.50% F&G Senior Notes of $550 million in 2024, as compared to the issuance of our 7.95% F&G Notes of $345 million and the issuance of our 7.40% F&G Notes of $500 million in 2023.

As of December 31, 2025, we had title insurance reserves of $1,700 million. The amounts and timing of these obligations are estimated and are not set contractually. While we believe that historical loss payments are a reasonable source for projecting future claim payments, there is significant inherent uncertainty in this payment pattern estimate because of the potential impact of changes in:

•future mortgage interest rates, which will affect the number of real estate and refinancing transactions and; therefore, the rate at which title insurance claims will emerge;

90

Table of Contents

•the legal environment whereby court decisions and reinterpretations of title insurance policy language to broaden coverage could increase total obligations and influence claim payout patterns;

•events such as fraud, escrow theft, multiple property title defects, foreclosure rates and individual large loss events that can substantially and unexpectedly cause increases in both the amount and timing of estimated title insurance loss payments; and

•loss cost trends whereby increases or decreases in inflationary factors (including the value of real estate) will influence the ultimate amount of title insurance loss payments.

Based on historical title insurance claim experience, we anticipate the above payment patterns. The uncertainty and variation in the timing and amount of claim payments could have a material impact on our cash flows from operations in a particular period.

We sponsor certain frozen pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. See Note T Employee Benefit Plans to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for further information.

Capital Stock Transactions. On August 3, 2021, our Board of Directors approved the 2021 Repurchase Program under which we may purchase up to 25 million shares of our FNF common stock through July 31, 2024 (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). On July 31, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new three-year stock repurchase program effective July 31, 2024 (the "2024 Repurchase Program") under which we are authorized to purchase up to 25 million shares of our FNF common stock through July 31, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any FNF common stock under the 2021 Repurchase Program or the 2024 Repurchase Program. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased a total of 4,426,224 FNF common shares for an aggregate amount of $252 million, or an average of $56.80 per share. Subsequent to December 31, 2025 and through market close on February 19, 2026, we repurchased a total of 60,000 shares, for approximately $3 million, or an average of $55.66 under the 2024 Repurchase Program.

Equity and Preferred Security Investments. Our equity and preferred security investments may be subject to significant volatility. Currently prevailing accounting standards require us to record the change in fair value of equity and preferred security investments held as of any given period end within earnings. Our results of operations in future periods are anticipated to be subject to such volatility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In conducting our operations, we routinely hold customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions, and are responsible for the proper disposition of these balances for our customers. Certain of these amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, consistent with GAAP and industry practice. These balances amounted to $16.2 billion and $14.4 billion at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As a result of holding these customers’ assets in escrow, we have ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits during the year through favorable borrowing and vendor arrangements with various banks.

We have unfunded investment commitments as of December 31, 2025, based upon the timing of when investments are executed compared to when the actual investments are funded, as some investments require that funding occur over a period of months or years. We also have unfunded commitments to consolidated VIEs. Please refer to Note D Investments and Note G Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for additional details on unfunded investment commitments.

FHLB Collateral. We are currently a member of the FHLB and are required to maintain a collateral deposit that backs any funding agreements issued. We use these funding agreements as part of a spread enhancement strategy. We have the ability to obtain funding from the FHLB based on a percentage of the value of our assets, subject to the availability of eligible collateral. Collateral is pledged based on the outstanding balances of FHLB funding agreements. The amount of funding varies based on the type, rating and maturity of the collateral posted to the FHLB. Generally, U.S. government agency notes, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and commercial and residential whole loans are pledged to the FHLB as collateral. Market value fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, spreads and other risk factors for each type of asset are monitored and additional collateral is either pledged or released as needed.

Our borrowing capacity under these credit facilities does not have an expiration date as long as we maintain a satisfactory level of creditworthiness based on the FHLB’s credit assessment. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had $2,899 million and $2,852 million, respectively, in FHLB non-putable funding agreements included under contractholder funds on our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had assets with a fair value of approximately $4,621 million and $4,289 million, respectively, which collateralized the FHLB funding agreements. Assets pledged to the FHLB are included in fixed maturities, AFS, on our consolidated balance sheets.

Collateral-Derivative Contracts. Under the terms of our ISDA agreements, we may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA agreements will be met with regard to the Credit Support Annex (“CSA”). The terms of the CSA call for us to pay interest on any cash received equal to the federal funds rate. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, $1,185 million and $771 million of collateral was posted by our counterparties as they did not meet the net exposure thresholds. Collateral requirements are monitored on a daily basis and incorporate changes in market values of both the derivatives contract as well as the collateral pledged. Market value fluctuations are due to changes in interest rates, spreads and other risk factors.
