Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include the historical accounts as well as wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Following the split-off of the former portfolio company investments by Fidelity National Financial, Inc. ("FNF"), and subsequent contribution to us (the "FNF Split-Off"), the Company is allocated certain corporate overhead and management services expenses from FNF based on the terms of the Corporate Services Agreement ("CSA"), dated as of November 17, 2017, by and between the Company and FNF and our proportionate share of the expense determined on actual usage and our best estimate of management's allocation of time. Both FNF and Cannae believe such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual results of operations or cash flows of the Company had the Company been operating as an independent, publicly-traded company for the periods presented or the amounts that will be incurred by the Company in the future. FNF is considered a related party to the Company.
All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our investments in non-majority-owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method until such time that they may become wholly or majority-owned. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to majority-owned subsidiaries with the appropriate noncontrolling interest that represents the portion of equity not related to our ownership interest recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in each period.
Management Estimates
The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include the valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets and fair value measurements (Note C). Actual results may differ from estimates.
Recent Developments
Dun & Bradstreet
In February 2019, we completed our previously announced investment in DNB for a net investment $505.6 million in DNB's ultimate parent. DNB is a global leader in commercial data and analytics and provides various services to help companies improve their operational performance.
On July 1, 2019, DNB completed an acquisition of Lattice Engines, Inc. ("Lattice"), a provider of integrated data and analytics solutions used by business-to-business marketing and sales professionals. In June 2019, we made an additional pro-rata investment of $23.5 million in DNB's ultimate parent. DNB used the proceeds to partially fund its acquisition of Lattice.

Ceridian
On September 5, 2019 and May 22, 2019, we completed the sales of 2.0 million and 2.0 million shares of common stock of Ceridian, respectively, as part of underwritten secondary public offerings by certain stockholders of Ceridian at public offering prices of $56.30 and $50.50 per share, respectively (the "Ceridian Share Sales"). In connection with the Ceridian Share Sales, we received $56.00 and $50.25 per share, respectively (after the applicable underwriter discount) for proceeds of $112.0 million and $100.5 million, respectively. We recorded gains of $82.2 million and $71.1 million, respectively, on the Ceridian Share Sales which are included in Realized gains (losses), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods in which the respective sales occurred. The recorded gains are net of $4.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of losses (exclusive of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of income tax benefit) related to reclassification adjustments from Other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2019, we owned approximately 20.0% of the outstanding common stock of Ceridian.
Restaurant Group
ABRH has entered into plans to sell certain company-owned stores. In conjunction with the plans of sale, $3.9 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of assets are recorded as held for sale and included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
On March 21, 2019, ABRH sold its corporate office located in Nashville, Tennessee for net cash proceeds of $13.2 million and entered into a lease agreement with the buyer to lease the office for an initial term of 15 years. The transaction was evaluated and determined not to qualify for sale-leaseback accounting. Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale and leaseback and a financing obligation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we reclassified $2.4 million from assets held for sale formerly included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets to reflect the real estate assets in Property and equipment, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as if we were the legal owner. We continue to recognize depreciation expense over the building's estimated useful life. On the date of the sale, we recorded a liability for the financing obligation in the amount of the net cash proceeds of $13.2 million which is included in Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, long term on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, ABRH sold its corporate office located in Denver, Colorado and certain company-owned O'Charley's stores for total gross proceeds of $15.7 million.
QOMPLX
On July 23, 2019, Cannae Holdings, in partnership with Motive Partners, closed on an investment in preferred equity of QOMPLX, Inc. ("QOMPLX"), formerly Fractal Industries, Inc., an intelligent decision and analytics platform used by businesses for modeling and planning. We funded $15.0 million at close and funded an additional $7.5 million on October 1, 2019. We are committed to fund another $7.5 million by December 2019 as part of a total $79.0 million financing of QOMPLX. Cannae's total investment is expected to represent 19.9% of the outstanding voting equity of QOMPLX. Our Chairman William Foley II has joined QOMPLX’s Board of Directors.
As QOMPLX does not have a readily determinable fair value, we account for our investment in QOMPLX at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly market transactions. See Note D for further discussion of our accounting for this investment.
Externalization
On August 27, 2019, we announced the execution of definitive documents, which became effective on September 1, 2019, pursuant to which the Company transitioned to an externally managed structure (such externalization of certain management functions, the “Externalization”). In connection with the Externalization, the Company, Cannae Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company (“Cannae LLC”), and Trasimene Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) which became effective September 1, 2019. The members of the Manager include certain directors and executive officers of the Company. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, certain services related to the management of the Company will be conducted by the Manager through the authority delegated to it in the Management Services Agreement and in accordance with the operational objectives and business plans approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Subject at all times to the supervision and direction of the Board of Directors, the Manager will be responsible for, among other things, (a) managing the day-to-day business and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (b) evaluating the financial and operational performance of the Company's subsidiaries and other assets, (c) providing a management team to serve as some of the executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and (d) performing (or causing to be performed) any other services for and on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries customarily performed by executive officers and employees of a public company.

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement, Cannae LLC will pay the Manager a quarterly management fee equal to 0.375% (1.5% annualized) of the Company’s cost of invested capital (as defined in the Management Services Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, payable in arrears in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement. Cannae LLC will be responsible for paying costs and expenses relating to the Company’s business and operations. Cannae LLC will reimburse the Manager for documented expenses of the Manager incurred on the Company’s behalf, including any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the services under the Management Services Agreement.
The Company conducts its business through Cannae LLC. In connection with the consummation of the Externalization, an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Cannae LLC (the “Operating Agreement”) was entered into on August 27, 2019, by and among Cannae LLC and the Company, the Manager and Cannae Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which became effective on September 1, 2019.
For so long as the Management Services Agreement is in effect, the Company, as managing member of Cannae LLC, authorizes the Manager to (a) designate officers of Cannae LLC and (b) perform, or cause to be performed, the services as are set forth in the Management Services Agreement.
In connection with such services, so long as Cannae LLC’s profits with respect to a liquidity event (sale or other disposition) involving an investment (as defined in the Operating Agreement) exceed an annualized hurdle rate of 8%, Cannae LLC will pay carried interest with respect to such investment to the Manager. Generally, where such hurdle is satisfied, carried interest will be paid to the Manager in an amount equal to: 15% of the profits on such investment (calculated as the proceeds of such investment less allocable management fees (as defined in the Operating Agreement) and the cost of such investment) for returns between 1.0x and 2.0x the cost of such investment (plus allocable management fees), and 20% of the profits on such investment for returns exceeding 2.0x the cost of such investment (plus allocable management fees). However, to the extent that, as of the liquidity event, the value of the portfolio of unrealized investments is less than the aggregate cost of such investments, then the Manager’s carried interest entitlement will be correspondingly reduced until such time as the investment portfolio has recovered in value.
The Management Services Agreement has an initial term of five years, expiring on September 1, 2024. The Management Services Agreement will be automatically renewed for one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either the Company or the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Management Services Agreement.
The Company and Manager have agreed to begin paying fees associated with the Externalization beginning on November 1, 2019.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain shares of restricted stock which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.
Instruments which provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 there were no antidilutive shares of restricted stock outstanding which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, there were no antidilutive shares of restricted stock outstanding which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 there were 0.1 million antidilutive shares of restricted stock outstanding which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Income Tax
Our effective tax rate was 23.8% and 7.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 13.5% and 16.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to the decreased impact of the tax effect of earnings or losses from investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the pretax earnings in the 2019 period compared to the lower earnings in the same period in 2018.

Restricted Cash
ABRH is required to hold cash collateralizing its outstanding letters of credit. Included in Cash and cash equivalents on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019 is $11.3 million of such restricted cash. There was no restricted cash as of December 31, 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to the accounting and reporting for leases by lessees. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases, and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities, to be reflected on the lessee's balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements which allows entities the option to adopt this standard by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening equity, if necessary, and only include required disclosures for prior periods.
We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach prescribed by ASU 2018-11 and recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset (Lease assets) of $246.0 million and an operating lease liability for future discounted lease payment obligations (Lease liabilities) of $279.4 million at the date of adoption. The other material impacts of the adoption of Topic 842 also resulted in a decrease of $9.1 million and $42.3 million to our Other intangible assets, net and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. We elected to apply the following package of practical expedients on a consistent basis permitting entities not to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the amended guidance.
See Note B for further discussion of our leasing arrangements and related accounting.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU introduce broad changes to accounting for credit impairment of financial instruments. The primary updates include the introduction of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected rather than incurred losses and amendments to the accounting for impairment of debt securities available for sale. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures and have not yet concluded on its effects. At this time we believe the standard will primarily impact our accounting for the allowance for bad debt on certain of our subsidiaries' trade receivables and credit losses for our notes receivable and fixed maturity securities. At this time we do not expect the changes to result in a material impact to our recorded balances for these assets. We will not early adopt the standard.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we identified and corrected errors in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 pertaining to: (1) our adjustment for the cumulative effect of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 as of the date of adoption (January 1, 2018), (2) adjustments to the opening balance sheet of T-System in order to add a contract asset for its unbilled accounts receivable and to remove a portion of deferred revenue for which T-System had no further performance obligations and (3) our accounting for certain revenue transactions in our T-System segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
These corrections resulted in a decrease in the Adjustment for cumulative effect of adoption of ASC Topic 606 to Retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $2.4 million from the $4.3 million (net of tax), as reported, to $1.9 million (net of tax), as corrected.
These corrections also resulted in the following changes in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018:
i.no impact and decrease of $3.1 million, respectively, to Other operating revenue,
ii.decrease of $0.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to Depreciation and amortization,
iii.increase (decrease) of $0.2 million and $(1.5) million, respectively, to Income tax expense (benefit),

iv.decrease of $0.4 million and no impact, respectively, to Net loss,
v.increase of $0.4 million and no impact, respectively, to Net earnings (loss) attributable to Cannae and
vi.no impact to Net earnings (loss) per share.
In accordance with accounting guidance found in ASC Topic 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1M), we assessed the materiality of the errors from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and concluded that the errors were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any of our previously issued financial statements on Form 10-Q. Consequently, we are correcting these errors in this report on Form 10-Q.
Change in Accounting Principle
We historically accounted for our investment and proportionate share of losses in Dun & Bradstreet utilizing a three-month reporting lag due to timeliness considerations. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company was able to obtain financial information for Dun & Bradstreet on a more timely basis and determined it was preferable to record our investment in Dun & Bradstreet on a current basis as opposed to the previous three-month lag.
In accordance with applicable accounting literature, a change to eliminate a previously existing reporting lag is considered a change in accounting principle. Changes in accounting principles are to be reported through retrospective application of the new principle to all prior financial statement periods presented. Accordingly, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods of the current fiscal year have been adjusted to reflect the period specific effects of eliminating the three-month reporting lag. The elimination of the three-month reporting lag did not impact total operating, investing or financing cash flows for any period presented. As we made our initial investment in Dun & Bradstreet in February 2019, such adjustments did not impact our fiscal year 2018 financial statements or opening retained earnings of our fiscal year 2019 financial statements.
The elimination of the three-month reporting lag for our equity investment in Dun & Bradstreet resulted in the adjustments as of and for the periods indicated below (in millions, except per share amounts).

We are party to operating lease arrangements primarily for leased real estate for restaurants and office space. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases under ASC 842 are recorded at commencement when we are party to a contract which conveys the right for the Company to control an asset for a specified period of time. We are not a party to any material contracts considered finance leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases are recorded as Lease assets and Lease liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019.
Our material operating leases range in term from one year to twenty years. As of September 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating leases was approximately eight years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our lease agreements do not contain any material buyout options, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by varying amounts. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We include options to renew, not to exceed a total lease term of twenty years, in our measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when they are considered reasonably certain of exercise. We consider a lease probable for renewal when the duration of the lease extensions are in the foreseeable future and related to assets for which will be reasonably assured of continued use.
Excluding certain immaterial classes of leases in our Restaurant Group, we do not separate lease components from non-lease components for any of our right of use assets.
Our operating lease liabilities are determined by discounting future lease payments using a discount rate which represents our best estimate of the incremental borrowing rate our subsidiaries would have to pay to borrow money to finance the asset over the underlying lease term and for an amount equal to the lease payments. Our discount rate is based on interest rates associated with comparable public company secured debt for companies similar to our operating subsidiaries and of similar duration to the underlying lease. As of September 30, 2019, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine our operating lease liabilities was 7.77%.
In our Restaurant Group, lease costs directly attributable to restaurant operations, primarily for real estate and to a lesser extent certain restaurant equipment, are included in Cost of restaurant revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Lease costs not directly attributable to cost of goods or services is included in Other operating expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our operating lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 consist of:

Note C — Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels which are 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 or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively:

Our Level 3 fair value measurement for our fixed maturity securities available for sale are provided by a single third-party pricing service. Depending on security specific characteristics, either a combination of an income and net recovery approach or a contingent claims approach was utilized in determining fair value of our Level 3 fixed-maturity securities available for sale. Discount rates are the primary unobservable inputs utilized for the securities valued using a combination of an income and net recovery approach. The discount rates used are based on company-specific risk premiums, public company comparable securities, and leveraged loan indices. The discount rates used in our determination of the fair value of our Level 3 fixed-maturity securities available for sale varies by security type and ranged from 15.5% to 16.0% as of September 30, 2019 and a weighted average based on relative fair value of the underlying securities of 16.0%. Based on the total fair value of our Level 3 fixed-maturity securities available for sale as of September 30, 2019, changes in the discount rate utilized will not result in a fair value significantly different or material to the Company's financial position or results of operation than the amount recorded.

Transfers into or out of the Level 3 fair value category occur when unobservable inputs become more or less significant to the fair value measurement or upon a change in valuation technique. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were based on changes in significance of unobservable inputs used associated with a change in the service provider and in the valuation technique used to value our corporate debt securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which they occur. There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and three months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
All of the unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other financial instruments, net (excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 relate to fixed maturity securities considered Level 3 fair value measures.

As of September 30, 2019 the fixed maturity securities in our investment portfolio had a maturity of greater than one year but less than five years. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The impairment recorded relates to corporate debt holdings of one investee which have experienced a prolonged period of declining earnings and which we are uncertain of our ability to recover our initial investment. All of the loss represents credit loss recognized in earnings and no portion of the loss was included in other comprehensive earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 we incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to investment securities.

Dun & Bradstreet
On February 8, 2019, we closed on our previously announced acquisition of DNB (the "DNB Acquisition"). The DNB Acquisition was financed through a combination of $2.1 billion of common equity financing provided to DNB's ultimate parent and acquirer Star Parent, L.P. ("Star") by a consortium of investors including Cannae and various other investors, $1.1 billion of preferred equity in a wholly-owned subsidiary of Star from various sources and $4.0 billion of debt financing from various lenders. The proceeds were used by Star and its subsidiaries to purchase DNB (collectively with Star and its subsidiaries, "Dun & Bradstreet") .
Of our previously disclosed $900.0 million commitment to purchase common equity of Star, we retained and funded a $505.6 million investment (the "Dun & Bradstreet Investment"), representing 24.5% of the outstanding common equity of Dun & Bradstreet, and syndicated the remainder to other investors. We funded the Dun & Bradstreet Investment through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on the Margin Loan and FNF Revolver (each, as defined below in Note F). On the closing date, we recorded income of $9.1 million for syndication fees from DNB which is recorded in Other income in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We also recorded a reduction in our investment of $2.9 million for our ratable portion of the syndication fees capitalized as equity issuance costs by Dun & Bradstreet.
In April and August 2019, we syndicated an additional $2.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of our Dun & Bradstreet Investment to other investors. The syndications resulted in a reduction in the Company's ownership to 24.3% of the outstanding common equity of Dun & Bradstreet.

On June 27, 2019, we made an additional pro-rata investment of $23.5 million in Dun & Bradstreet. Dun & Bradstreet used the proceeds to partially fund its acquisition of Lattice (see Note A).
Summarized financial information for Dun & Bradstreet for the relevant dates and time periods included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations, respectively, is presented below.
We historically reported our equity in earnings or loss of Dun & Bradstreet on a one quarter lag. In the third quarter of 2019 we began receiving financial information from Dun & Bradstreet timely and recording our equity in its losses on a real-time basis. Accordingly, our net earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, include the Company’s equity in Dun & Bradstreet’s losses for the period from July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019 and February 8, 2019 through September 30, 2019, respectively.

On November 7, 2018, Cannae Funding, LLC (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), and certain other related agreements, with Credit Suisse AG (in such capacity, "Administrative Agent") and other lenders thereto. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Borrower may borrow up to $300.0 million (the "Margin Facility") in term loans at an interest rate of the three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin (2.75% - 3.00%) with a maturity date of November 9, 2021. Interest on term loans under the Margin Facility is payable in-kind or cash at the Borrower's election. The Margin Facility is collateralized by 25.0 million shares of Ceridian held by the Borrower prior to any draws under the Margin Facility. On February 7, 2019, we borrowed $150 million under the Margin Facility and used the proceeds to fund, in part, the Dun & Bradstreet Investment. As of September 30, 2019, we pay interest on borrowings outstanding quarterly at a rate of 5.08% and there is $150 million available to be drawn pursuant to the Margin Facility.
Concurrently with the Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Guaranty (the "Guaranty Agreement") in favor of the Administrative Agent and other lenders thereto pursuant to which the Company absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all of the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement for a period of up to one year after the conditions to the effectiveness of the Loan Agreement have been met. During the period in which the Guaranty Agreement is enforceable, the Company will be liable for all obligations payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and other agreements entered into in connection therewith.
On January 29, 2016, FNF NV Brasada, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company and majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $17.0 million (the “Interstate Credit Agreement”) originally with Bank of the Cascades, as lender. The Interstate Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $12.5 million acquisition loan (the "Acquisition Loan"), (ii) a $3.0 million development loan (the "Development Loan"), and (iii) a $1.5 million line of credit loan (the "Line of Credit Loan", and collectively with the Acquisition Loan and the Development Loan, the "Brasada Interstate Loans"). On June 13, 2018, the Interstate Credit Agreement was modified to add an additional line of credit of $3.6 million and to assign the loan from the Bank of the Cascades to First Interstate Bank. Pursuant to the Acquisition Loan, NV Brasada executed a $6.25 million "A Note", which accrues interest at a rate of 4.51% per annum and matures on the tenth anniversary of the issuance thereof, and a $6.25 million "B Note", which accrues interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points, adjusted monthly, and matures on the tenth anniversary of the issuance thereof. As of September 30, 2019, the variable rate notes incurred interest at 4.42% and there was $4.4 million available to be drawn pursuant to the Brasada Interstate Loans.
Note payable to FNF
On November 17, 2017, in conjunction with the FNF Split-Off, FNF issued to the Company a revolver note in aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the "FNF Revolver"). Pursuant to the FNF Revolver, FNF may make one or more loans to us in increments of $1.0 million, with up to $100.0 million outstanding at any time. The FNF Revolver accrues interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and matures on the five year anniversary of the date we were issued the FNF Revolver. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or the Company, in their sole discretion. On February 7, 2019, we drew the $100.0 million available and used the proceeds to fund, in part, the Dun & Bradstreet Investment. On June 12, 2019 we repaid to FNF the $100.0 million outstanding under the FNF Revolver. On July 5, 2019, we again drew the $100.0 million available and used the proceeds for general corporate purposes. On September 11, 2019, we again repaid to FNF the $100.0 million outstanding amount under the FNF Revolver. As of September 30, 2019, there was no outstanding balance under the FNF Revolver and there was $100.0 million remaining borrowing capacity.

Note G — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.
Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under “dram shop” laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state discrimination, wage and hour and other employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.
We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively “legal proceedings”) on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts and which represents our best estimate is recorded. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, accrued for legal proceedings. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period in the event of an unfavorable outcome, at present, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
The Restaurant Group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors. These purchase obligations are primarily food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of September 30, 2019 to determine the amount of the obligations.
Purchase obligations as of September 30, 2019 are as follows (in millions):

Due to the July 2018 sale of LifeWorks discussed in Note D, the results of Ceridian for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 have been adjusted to remove the effects of the discontinued operations of LifeWorks as well as to reflect Ceridian's retrospective adoption of ASC Topic 606 and certain other accounting standards.
On February 8, 2019, the DNB Acquisition closed. Our chief operating decision maker reviews the full financial results of Dun & Bradstreet for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, we consider Dun & Bradstreet a reportable segment and have included the full results of Dun & Bradstreet subsequent to the DNB Acquisition in the tables below. See below for further discussion of Dun & Bradstreet and our accounting for our related investment.

Restaurant revenue consists of restaurant sales, bakery operations, and, to a lesser extent, franchise revenue and other revenue. Restaurant sales include food and beverage sales and gift card breakage, are net of applicable state and local sales taxes and discounts, and are recognized at a point in time as services are performed and goods are provided. Revenue from bakery operations is recognized at a point in time in the period during which the products are shipped and control transfers to the customer. Franchise revenue and other revenue consist of development fees and royalties on sales by franchised units. Initial franchise fees are recognized as income upon commencement of the franchise operation and completion of all material services and conditions by the Company. Royalties are calculated as a percentage of the franchisee sales and recognized in the period in which the sales are generated. Revenue resulting from the sale of gift cards is recognized in the period in which the gift card is redeemed and is recorded as deferred revenue until recognized.
T-System recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized is determined by the consideration that T-System expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods and services. T-System's contracts with customers typically do not include variable consideration such as right of return or refund or other form of incentives or considerations payable to customers.
T-System offers a software as a service solution with full-service coding ("RevCycle+") available, through contracts with customers to either provide access to its proprietary coding software platform or provide medical chart coding services. Billing for both services occurs monthly as services are provided. Billing for medical chart coding services is based on a monthly fee which may vary based on the volume of services provided. Revenue for RevCycle+, including implementation and upfront training of customer personnel, is recognized ratably over the term of the contract as services are consumed by the customer.
T-System sells an electronic version of the medical documentation system (“EV”), provided in the form of a non-exclusive license to use the software at the sites under the agreement when the software is made available to the customer. EV contracts with customers can include various combinations of products and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations such as software licenses, implementation services, third party interface licenses or subscriptions, hardware, and maintenance (software updates and technical support services). T-System sells software licenses through recurring fixed-term or subscription fee arrangements and one-time perpetual license arrangements (perpetual licenses), and as software as a service solution (cloud solutions). EV term license and perpetual license contracts include performance obligations that are both satisfied at a point in time and over a period of time as goods and services are transferred. T-System also sells legacy medical documentation templates ("T-Sheets") to emergency care providers to be used for documentation of patient care. T-Sheets includes various optional recurring fixed-term or subscription licenses which are recognized over time after access to the template has been delivered to the customer. EV software as a service contracts typically include one stand ready performance obligation to provide subscription services which are satisfied over time. Judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the cloud service and

recognized over time. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price ("SSP") for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include our pricing strategy and other observable inputs.
T-System typically bills its customers on a monthly or other frequent periodic basis in accordance with the underlying contracts with its customers. We have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from our customers. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers.
Other operating revenue consists of income generated by our resort operations which includes sales of real estate, lodging rentals, food and beverage sales, and other income from various resort services offered. Revenue is recognized upon closing of the sale of real estate or once goods and services have been provided and billed to the customer.
Contract Balances

Deferred revenue (contract liabilities) | 22.6 | 31.7 |
(1) Included in Trade receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
(2) Included in Other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Unbilled accounts receivable is recorded primarily for our T-System EV and RevCycle+ revenue related to software, licenses, license implementation (including upfront training) and other performance obligations which are recognized in revenue at a point-in-time upon satisfaction of performance obligations, but collected in cash ratably over the term of the underlying contract.
Deferred revenue is recorded primarily for restaurant gift card sales and certain T-System revenue. The unrecognized portion of such revenue is recorded as Deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue of $8.6 million and $27.9 million was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, that was included in Deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.
There was no impairment related to contract balances.
As of September 30, 2019, revenue estimated to be recognized in the future from the Company’s remaining unfulfilled performance obligations is not material.
Note K. | Variable Interest Entities |
The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are legal entities in which the equity investors as a group lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate. As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 we are not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company holds variable interests in certain unconsolidated affiliates, outlined in the table above, which are primarily comprised of Dun & Bradstreet (see Note D) and, to a lesser extent, funds that hold minority ownership interests primarily in healthcare-related entities. The principal risk to which these investments and funds are exposed is the credit risk of the underlying investees. We do not provide any implicit or explicit liquidity guarantees or principal value guarantees to these VIEs. The assets are included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
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 (the "Exchange Act"), 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: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; 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 integrating acquisitions; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; risks associated with our Split-Off from FNF, including limitations on our strategic and operating flexibility related to the tax-free nature of the Split-Off and the Investment Company Act of 1940; risks related to our Externalization and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Annual Report and other filings with the SEC.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 and reflects the effects of the immaterial correction of errors and a change in accounting principle discussed in the Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements and Change in Accounting Principle sections, respectively, in Note A to the 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.
Overview
For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion under Basis of Financial Statements in Note A to the 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
Restaurant Group
The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions; public safety conditions or concerns; demographic trends; weather conditions; the cost of food products, labor, energy and other operating costs; and governmental regulations. Higher labor costs due to state and local minimum wage increases and shopping pattern shifts to e-commerce and “ready to eat” grocery and convenience stores have had a negative impact on restaurant performance, particularly in the casual and family dining restaurants in which the company operates.
The restaurant industry is also characterized by high capital investments for new restaurants and relatively high fixed or semi-variable restaurant operating expenses. Because of the high fixed and semi-variable expenses, changes in sales in existing
30
restaurants are generally expected to significantly affect restaurant profitability because many restaurant costs and expenses are not expected to change at the same rate as sales. Restaurant profitability can also be negatively affected by inflationary and regulatory increases in operating costs and other factors. The most significant commodities that may affect our cost of food and beverage are beef, seafood, poultry, and dairy, which accounted for approximately half of our overall cost of food and beverage in the past. Generally, temporary increases in these costs are not passed on to guests; however, in the past, we have adjusted menu prices to compensate for increased costs of a more permanent nature.
Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.
Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.
Ceridian
Ceridian is a global human capital management (“HCM”) software company. Ceridian categorizes its solutions into two categories: Cloud and Bureau solutions. Cloud revenue is generated from HCM solutions that are delivered via two cloud offerings: Dayforce, Ceridian's flagship cloud HCM platform, and Powerpay, a cloud HR and payroll solution for the Canadian small business market.
Dayforce provides HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management functionality. Dayforce is used by organizations, regardless of industry or size, to optimize management of the entire employee lifecycle, including attracting, engaging, paying, deploying, and developing their people. Dayforce was built as a single application from the ground up that combines a modern, consumer-grade user experience with proprietary application architecture, including a single employee record and a rules engine spanning all areas of HCM. Dayforce provides continuous real-time calculations across all modules to enable, for example, payroll administrators access to data through the entire pay period, and managers access to real-time data to optimize work schedules. Ceridian's platform is designed to make work life better for our customers and their employees by improving HCM decision-making processes, streamlining workflows, exposing strategic organizational insights, and simplifying legislative compliance. The platform is designed to ease administrative work for both employees and managers.
Ceridian sells Dayforce through its direct sales force on a subscription per-employee, per-month (“PEPM”) basis. Ceridian's subscriptions are typically structured with an initial fixed term of between three and five years, with evergreen renewal thereafter. Dayforce can serve customers of all sizes, ranging from 100 to over 100,000 employees. Ceridian has rapidly grown the Dayforce platform to more than 4,100 live Dayforce customers as of September 30, 2019.
T-System
T-System is a provider of clinical documentation and coding solutions to hospital-based and free-standing emergency departments and urgent care facilities. The healthcare industry is impacted by several factors that can impact the business landscape in which T-System operates. In the past several years health care providers have shown a preference for single IT platforms across all venues. During this same time, there has been a push for interoperability across different healthcare IT systems due to the likelihood that a single patient will have medical information from multiple health care facilities or providers. Healthcare IT systems continue to face rising costs from factors such as legislative and regulatory reform, complex reimbursement models, and difficulties in electronic data exchange. These factors may continue to impact the results of T-System’s operations.

Revenues.
Total revenues decreased $23.1 million, or 7.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and decreased $58.2 million, or 6.6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018.
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Cannae Holdings, Inc. common shareholders increased $44.7 million, or 2,980.0%. in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and increased $72.2 million, or 372.2%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018.
The change in revenue and net earnings (loss) is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of cost of restaurant revenue, personnel costs, other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
Cost of restaurant revenue includes cost of food and beverage, primarily the costs of beef, produce, seafood, poultry and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, net of vendor discounts and rebates, payroll and related costs and expenses directly relating to restaurant level activities, and restaurant operating costs including occupancy and other operating expenses at the restaurant level.
Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees. Personnel costs that are directly attributable to the operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue.
Other operating expenses include professional fees, advertising costs and travel expenses.
32
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation related to investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of intangible assets.
The change in expenses from our operating segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Income tax expense (benefit) was $15.6 million and $(0.9) million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $14.3 million and $(3.8) million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income tax expense (benefit) as a percentage of earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in unconsolidated affiliates was 23.8% and 7.0% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 13.5% and 16.7% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes and equity in unconsolidated affiliates fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings, such as the weighting of operating income versus investment income. The change in the effective tax rate in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to the decreased impact of the tax benefit on losses from investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the pretax earnings in the 2019 period compared to the lower earnings in the same period in 2018.
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 consisted of the following (in millions):

Total revenues for the Restaurant group segment decreased $21.6 million, or 8.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and decreased $47.3 million, or 5.8%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased revenue related to the closing or sale of 55 company-owned restaurants primarily associated with our O'Charley's, Village Inn and Baker's Square concepts subsequent to the prior year periods and to a lesser extent a decrease in comparable store sales. The decrease was partially offset by increases in the average guest check.
Comparable Store Sales. One method we use in evaluating the performance of our restaurants is to compare sales results for restaurants period over period. A new restaurant is included in our comparable store sales figures starting in the first period following
33
the restaurant's first seventy-eight weeks of operations. Changes in comparable store sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable store group of restaurants over a specified period of time. This measure highlights the performance of existing restaurants, as the impact of new restaurant openings is excluded. Comparable store sales for our 99 Restaurants decreased 2.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the comparable period in 2018. Comparable store sales for our ABRH brands are as follows: O'Charley's decreased 1.5%, Village Inn decreased 3.2% and Baker's Square increased 3.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the comparable period in 2018.
Cost of restaurant revenue decreased consistently with Restaurant revenues. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue was 88.9% and 90.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 87.9% and 88.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest expense decreased $2.6 million, or 63.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and decreased $7.6 million, or 65.5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease is attributable to a reorganization of our Restaurant Group in the fourth quarter of 2018 which resulted in the exchange of $100.0 million of debt formerly outstanding at ABRH for additional direct and indirect equity interests in ABRH and 99 Restaurants, partially offset by interest on new credit facilities at 99 Restaurants.
Loss before income taxes decreased by $8.5 million, or 39.2%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and decreased $4.0 million, or 10.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from the corresponding periods in 2018. The decrease in loss was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above, as well as to realized gains on the disposition of assets associated with ABRH's closure of stores, partially offset by additional other operating and personnel expense in the 2019 periods related to asset impairments and termination and severance expenses, respectively.
Ceridian
As of September 30, 2019, we owned an approximate 20.0% interest in Ceridian. We account for our investment in Ceridian under the equity method of accounting; therefore, its results of operations do not consolidate into ours.

The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in bookings in its clinical documentation business.
Realized gains for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 include a gain of $7.8 million related to a forgiveness of $7.8 million of T-System's intercompany note with us. The forgiveness resulted in an offsetting loss on the forgiveness recorded in our Corporate and Other segment.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other segment consists of our share in the operations of certain controlled portfolio companies and other equity investments, activity of the corporate holding company and certain intercompany eliminations and taxes.

Personnel costs decreased $61.9 million, or 73.4%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in investment success bonuses in the 2019 period.
Interest and investment income increased $9.2 million, or 204.4%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to $9.1 million of syndication fees earned in relation to our organization of investors for the Dun & Bradstreet transaction.
Realized gains, net, increased $70.3 million, or 513.1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and increased $78.3 million, or 99.4%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase in both periods is primarily attributable to increased gains on sales of Ceridian shares in the 2019 periods. A loss of $7.8 million related to a forgiveness of $7.8 million of T-System's intercompany note with us, which was offset by a gain associated with a return of a portion of our original purchase price previously held in escrow.
Earnings before income taxes increased $63.1 million, or 563.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $124.2 million, or 624.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increased earnings was primarily attributable to the factors noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements. Our current cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, and business acquisitions. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to stockholders, although there are limits on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, as a result of provisions in certain debt agreements. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Additional uses of cash flow are expected to include stock repurchases, acquisitions, and debt repayments.
As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $153.2 million, $0.2 million of short-term investments and $250.0 million of capacity under our existing holding company credit facilities. We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets, and borrowings on existing credit facilities. 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.
We are focused on evaluating our assets and investments as potential vehicles for creating liquidity. Our intent is to use that liquidity for general corporate purposes, including, potentially reducing debt, repurchasing shares of our stock, other strategic initiatives and/or conserving cash.
36
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $39.1 million and $48.8 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operations of $9.7 million is primarily attributable to timing of payment and receipt of cash associated with operating assets.
Investing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $289.9 million and $19.1 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities of $270.8 million from the 2019 period to the 2018 period is primarily attributable to the Dun & Bradstreet Investment, partially offset by the proceeds from the Ceridian Share Sales and sales of property and equipment.
Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and other intangible assets were $19.0 million and $10.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capital expenditures in the both periods primarily consist of purchases of property and equipment in our Restaurant Group segment.
Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $159.2 million and $(119.9) million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in (increase in cash provided by) financing activities of $279.1 million is primarily attributable to proceeds from draws on credit facilities, net of repayments, of $150.5 million in the 2019 period and the payoff of the external debt of our Restaurant Group in the 2018 period.
Financing Arrangements. For a description of our financing arrangements see Note F included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I.
Seasonality. There have been no material changes to the seasonality experienced in our businesses from those described for the period as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations. Our long term contractual obligations generally include our credit agreements and other debt facilities, lease payments on certain of our premises and equipment and purchase obligations of the Restaurant Group.
See Note B to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I, for further discussion of our leasing arrangements.
See Note A to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I, for further discussion of ABRH's financing obligation associated with its corporate headquarters and of the Company's future obligations to pay our Manager fees under the terms of the Management Services Agreement beginning on November 1, 2019. Management fees payable to our Manager are based on the Company's cost of invested capital of $971.5 million as of September 30, 2019.
Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, are legally binding and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Restaurant Group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors, primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. Future purchase obligations are estimated by assuming historical purchase activity over the remaining, non-cancellable terms of the various agreements. For agreements with minimum purchase obligations, at least the minimum amounts we are legally required to purchase are included. These agreements do not include fixed delivery terms.

Capital Stock Transactions. On September 19, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a new three-year stock repurchase program effective September 19, 2019 (the "2019 Repurchase Program") under which we may purchase up to 5 million shares of our CNNE common stock through September 30, 2022. We may make repurchases from time to time in the open market, in block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. We repurchased 145,000 shares of CNNE common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 for approximately $4.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $27.31 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2019 through market close on November 8, 2019
37
we repurchased 33,307 shares for approximately $0.9 million in the aggregate, or an average of 27.53 per share. From the original commencement of the 2019 Repurchase Program through market close on November 8, 2019, we repurchased a total of 178,307 common shares for approximately $4.9 million in the aggregate, or an average of $27.35 per share.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Other than inclusion of operating lease arrangements on the balance sheet, further discussed below, there have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements since our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies
Other than our adoption of Topic 842 and change in accounting principle related to our equity in losses of Dun & Bradstreet as described in Notes A and B to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018 solely because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified in relation to our accounting for revenue at T-System. These material weaknesses were disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the Annual Report).
Management concluded that material weaknesses exist related to the control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities around the Company’s adoption and application of Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 at T-System and are attributable to the failure of management to (1) design and implement control activities over the accuracy and completeness of the underlying information used to derive the revenue related accounting entries for the adoption and application of ASC 606 at T-System; (2) design and implement control activities, including the related supporting documentation, around the determination of the ongoing revenue accounting at T-System; and (3) monitor related revenue control activities at T-System in order to prevent or detect material misstatements.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019 due to the material weaknesses described in the Annual Report which have not yet been remediated. Based on its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has identified no new material weaknesses other than those described in the Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We expect to remediate during the year ended December 31, 2019 the material weaknesses identified in the Annual Report. Remediation efforts have commenced and include improving the design and implementation of our controls around the application of ASC 606 at T-System to include more detailed reviews of underlying data used to derive the revenue related accounting entries, enhancing communication between the Company and T-System management to emphasize the importance of validation of underlying data used, improving supporting documentation around the determination of the ongoing revenue accounting, including utilizing external resources to assist with accounting and reporting for ASC 606 at T-System, and improving our monitoring of these activities related to the accounting and reporting for revenue at T-System.
38
Other than the actions taken above in response to material weaknesses previously identified, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See discussion of legal proceedings in Note G. Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the significant risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report, we identified the following additional risks as a result of our Externalization. See "Recent Developments" in Note A.Basis of Financial Statements to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this report for further discussion of the Externalization.
Risks Relating to the Externalization and Our Manager
The Management Service Agreement was negotiated between related parties and the terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to us as if it were negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
Because our Manager is owned by certain of our directors and executive officers, the Management Services Agreement was developed by related parties, although our independent directors reviewed and approved the Management Services Agreement. The terms of the Management Services Agreement, including fees payable, may not reflect the terms we may have received if it was negotiated with an unrelated third party. In addition, particularly as a result of our relationship with the principal owners of the Manager, who are certain directors and members of our management, our independent directors may determine that it is in the best interests of our shareholders not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the Management Services Agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with our Manager.
Our executive officers, directors and Manager may allocate some of their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs, which may materially adversely affect our operations.
While the members of our management team anticipate devoting a substantial amount of their time to the affairs of the Company, our executive officers, directors, Manager and members of our management team may engage in other business activities. This may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our management and operations of other businesses. Their other business endeavors may involve related or unrelated parties. Conflicts of interest that arise over the allocation of time may not always be resolved in our favor and may materially adversely affect our operations. See the section entitled “Factors Relating to the Split-Off” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report for further discussion of risks associated with our split-off from, and relationship with, FNF.
Conflicts of interest could arise in connection with certain of our directors’ and executive officers’ discharge of fiduciary duties to our shareholders.
Certain of our directors and executive officers are members or employees of the Manager. Such persons, by virtue of their positions, have fiduciary duties to us and our shareholders. The duties of such persons as directors or executive officers to us and our shareholders may come into conflict with the interests of such persons in their capacities as members or employees of the Manager.
Our Manager and members of our management team may engage in activities that compete with us or our businesses.
While the members our management team intend to devote a substantial majority of their time to the affairs of the Company, and while our Manager currently does not manage any other businesses that are in similar lines of business as our businesses, neither our management team nor our Manager is expressly prohibited from investing in or managing other entities, including those that are in the same or similar line of business as our businesses, or required to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Company. In this regard, the Management Services Agreement and the obligation to provide management services will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between our Manager, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other.
We cannot remove our Manager solely for poor performance, which could limit our ability to improve our performance and could materially adversely affect the market price of our shares.
Under the terms of the Management Services Agreement, our Manager cannot be removed as a result of underperformance. Instead, the Company’s board of directors can only remove our Manager in certain limited circumstances or upon a vote by 75% of the Company’s board of directors and 75% of our shareholders to terminate the Management Services Agreement. This limitation could materially adversely affect the market price of our shares.
39
Our Manager can resign on 180 days’ notice, subject to a limited extension, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as the market price of our shares.
Our Manager has the right, under the Management Services Agreement, to resign at any time on 180 days’ written notice, whether we have found a replacement or not, subject to the Company’s right to extend such period by an additional 180 days or until a replacement manager has been in place for 30 days, if no replacement manager has been found by the 150th day following the Manager’s notice of resignation. If our Manager resigns, we may not be able to contract with a new manager or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 180 days (subject to possible extension), or at all, in which case our operations are likely to experience a disruption, our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as our ability to pay distributions are likely to be adversely affected and the market price of our shares may decline. In addition, the coordination of our internal management, acquisition activities and supervision of our businesses is likely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by our Manager. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, whether internal or external, the integration of such management and their lack of familiarity with our businesses may result in additional costs and time delays that could materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
We must pay our Manager the management fee regardless of our performance.
Our Manager is entitled to receive a management fee that is based on our cost of invested capital, as defined in the Management Services Agreement, regardless of the performance of our businesses. The calculation of the management fee is unrelated to the Company’s results of operations. As a result, the management fee may incentivize our Manager to increase the amount of invested capital.
We cannot determine the amount of the management fee that will be paid over time with any certainty.
The management fee is calculated by reference to the Company’s cost of invested capital, which will be impacted by the acquisition or disposition of, and additional capital contributions and investments in, businesses, which can be significantly influenced by our Manager, as well as the performance of our businesses and other businesses we may acquire in the future. Changes in cost of invested capital and in the resulting management fee could be significant, resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, if the performance of the Company declines, assuming cost of invested capital remains the same, management fees will increase as a percentage of the Company’s net income.
We cannot determine the amount of carried interest that will be paid over time with any certainty.
We cannot determine the amount of carried interest that will be paid over time with any certainty. Such determination would be dependent on the potential sale proceeds received for any of our businesses and the performance of the Company and its businesses over a multi-year period of time, among other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Such factors may have a significant impact on the amount of any carried interest to be paid to the Manager. Likewise, such determination would be dependent on whether certain hurdles were surpassed giving rise to a payment of carried interest. Any amounts paid in respect of the carried interest are unrelated to the management fee earned for performance of services under the Management Services Agreement.
The fees to be paid to our Manager pursuant to the Management Services Agreement and the carried interest to be paid to our Manager pursuant to the Operating Agreement may significantly reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
Under the Management Services Agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay a management fee to and, subject to certain exceptions, reimburse the costs and out-of-pocket expenses of our Manager incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with the provision of services to the Company. In addition, our Manager will be entitled to receive carried interest with respect to liquidity events involving investments of the Company. While it is difficult to quantify with any certainty the actual amount of any such payments in the future, such amounts could be substantial. The management fee and carried interest will be payment obligations of the Company and, as a result, will be paid, along with other Company obligations, prior to the payment of distributions to shareholders. As a result the payment of these amounts may significantly reduce the amount of cash flow available for distribution to our shareholders.
Our profit allocation may induce our Manager to make suboptimal decisions regarding our operations.
Our Manager will receive carried interest based on profits in excess of an annualized hurdle rate upon a liquidity event involving a Company investment. In this respect, a calculation and payment of carried interest may be triggered upon the sale of one of our businesses. As a result, our Manager may be incentivized to recommend the sale of one or more of our businesses to the our Board of Directors at a time that may not be optimal for our shareholders.
40
The obligations to pay the management fee and carried interest may cause the Company to liquidate assets or incur debt.
If we do not have sufficient liquid assets to pay the management fee and carried interest when such payments are due, we may be required to liquidate assets or incur debt in order to make such payments. This circumstance could materially adversely affect our liquidity and ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
