2. Segment Performance
Title Segment
The Title segment saw a robust performance, with revenues rising by 8% in Q3 and 10% year-to-date compared to 2024. Title premiums surged by 15% in Q3, driven by increased closed title insurance order volumes, attributed to a slight uptick in housing inventory.

- Insurance Commissions and Fees: $1.42 billion, indicating a strong demand for title insurance services.
F&G Segment
The F&G segment's results were influenced by life insurance premiums and fees, which increased due to strategic timing in pension risk transfer transactions. The demand for retirement savings products continues to grow, supported by an aging U.S. population.
- Indexed Annuity Sales: Notable growth in the indexed annuity market, expanding distribution channels to enhance reach.
Corporate and Other Segment
The Corporate and Other segment reported a 12% increase in revenues for Q3, primarily due to improved valuations associated with deferred compensation plan assets.

Despite positive outcomes, FNF faced several hurdles:
- Rising interest rates and market volatility impacted both the Title and F&G segments.
- Increased personnel costs due to inflation and health claims, which contributed to overall operating expenses.
