Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation Investment

On August 8, 2018, Cannae Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “Cannae”, “we” or “our”) entered into an agreement to partner with an investment consortium (the “Consortium”) including CC Capital Partners LLC, Bilcar LLC and funds affiliated with Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. along with other investors to acquire The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Dun & Bradstreet” or “DNB”). Contemporaneously, Dun & Bradstreet entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “DNB Merger Agreement”) by and between Dun & Bradstreet, Star Parent, L.P. (“Star Parent”), a Delaware limited partnership, and Star Merger Sub, Inc. (“DNB Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Star Parent, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub subsequently merged with and into Dun & Bradstreet (the “DNB Merger”), with Dun & Bradstreet continuing as the surviving company in the Merger.

On February 8, 2019, the Company and Consortium along with Black Knight Inc. completed the previously announced acquisition of DNB. Of the Company’s previously disclosed $900.0 million commitment to purchase equity of Dun & Bradstreet, at closing, we funded and retained a $505.6 million investment (the “DNB Investment”) in Star Parent and syndicated the remainder to other investors. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of DNB, the Company was issued certain limited partner interests in Star Parent and equity interests in the general partner of Star Parent, Star Parent GP Holdings, LLC, which together represent approximately 24.5% of the outstanding common equity of Star Parent. In April and August 2019, we syndicated an additional $2.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of our DNB Investment to other investors resulting in a reduction in the Company’s ownership to 24.3% of the outstanding common equity of Star Parent.

We account for the DNB Investment as an equity method investment which resulted in our initial investment being recorded as an investment in unconsolidated affiliates on our balance sheet and our portion of Dun & Bradstreet’s earnings or losses is included in Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, outside of operating loss, on our statement of operations.

The following tables present information about the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, after giving effect to the DNB Investment.

The information under “Summarized Pro Forma Statement of Operations Information” in the tables below give effect to the pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 assuming the DNB Investment had occurred on January 1, 2018. Such pro forma results should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and of Dun & Bradstreet filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 23, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the Company after the DNB Investment, does not necessarily reflect what the Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the investment occurred on the dates indicated. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, Star Parent’s completion of its purchase accounting for the Merger. As a result, unaudited pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not represent an attempt to predict or suggest future results.

The T-System Disposition

On November 13, 2019, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement to participate in a health care joint venture with an investment vehicle advised by an affiliate of Carlyle Investment Management, L.L.C. (“Carlyle”). The joint venture, which was recently incorporated as Coding Solutions Topco, Inc. (the “JV”), will focus on acquiring, integrating and operating synergistic health care services companies in the provider and payer space. To effect the transaction, T-System Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T-System”), an indirect subsidiary of Cannae, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “JV Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2019, with Coding Solutions Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV (“Parent”), and Coding Solutions Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“JV Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into T-System (the “JV Merger”), with T-System surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the JV. We refer to this transaction as the “T-System Disposition”.






Following the closing of the JV Merger (the “JV Closing”), it is anticipated that Cannae will be a minority shareholder of the JV through a customary rollover agreement (the “Rollover Agreement”) contemplated by the JV Merger Agreement and have all of its T-System intercompany debt repaid, which totaled approximately $61 million as of September 30, 2019.

The JV Merger and JV Closing are subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions

The following tables presents information about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented, after giving effect to the T-System Disposition. The following pro forma results of operation information do not give effect to the Company's proportionate share of earnings/loss in the proposed investment in the new joint venture in connection with the T-System Disposition.

The information under “Summarized Pro Forma Balance Sheet Information” in the table below gives effect to the pro forma results as of September 30, 2019 assuming the T-System Disposition had occurred on September 30, 2019.

The information under “Summarized Pro Forma Statement of Operations Information” in the tables below gives effect to the pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 assuming the T-System Disposition had occurred on January 1, 2017. The Company acquired T-System on October 16, 2017, accordingly no fiscal year 2016 information is presented below and the adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2017 represent T-System’s results of operations from October 16, 2017 through December 31, 2017. We expect to record a material book loss on the T-System Disposition which is not reflected in the pro forma results of operation in the tables below. We are not able to accurately determine the loss on the T-System Disposition at this time due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, completion of our accounting for the assets of T-System as held for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 205-20 including assessment of potential impairment of the goodwill and intangible assets attributable to T-System now held for sale, completion of our valuation of the consideration to be received in the T-System Disposition which cannot be completed at this time as such consideration consists of an investment in a joint venture that will be comprised of T-System and other businesses not yet contributed to the venture, and determination of our final ownership percentage in the new joint venture to be received as partial consideration.

Such pro forma results should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Cannae, of which T-System comprises a part, filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma financial information related to the T-System Disposition has been prepared in accordance with the discontinued operations guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205, “Financial Statement Presentation” and therefore does not reflect what Cannae or T-System results of operations would have been on a stand-alone basis and are not necessarily indicative of Cannae’s or T-System’s future results of operations. Discontinued operations do not include any allocation of general corporate overhead expenses of Cannae to T-System. The information in the Adjustments for T-System Disposition column in the unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations Information was prepared based on the Cannae’s interim unaudited and annual audited financial statements and only include costs that are directly attributable to the operating results of T-System.

The Company believes that the adjustments included within Adjustments for T-System Disposition column of the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with the guidance for discontinued operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company will account for T-System as a discontinued operation beginning in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s current estimates on a discontinued operations basis are preliminary and could change as the Company finalizes the accounting for the discontinued operations to be reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the Company after the T-System Disposition, does not necessarily reflect what the Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the investment occurred on the dates indicated. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s accounting for T-System’s results of operations through the ultimate consummation of the T-System Disposition and completion of its accounting for the consideration received. As a result, unaudited pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not represent an attempt to predict or suggest future results.
