NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A — Basis of Financial Statements
The following describes the significant accounting policies of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” "Cannae," "CNNE," or the "Company”), which have been followed in preparing the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Description of the Business
We primarily acquire interests in operating companies and are engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of those companies, which we are committed to supporting for the long-term. From time to time, we also seek to take meaningful equity ownership stakes where we have the ability to control or significantly influence quality companies, and we bring the strength of our operational expertise to each of our subsidiaries. We are a long-term owner that secures control and governance rights of other companies primarily to engage in their lines of business and we have no preset time constraints dictating when we sell or dispose of our businesses. We believe that our long-term ownership and active involvement in the management and operations of companies helps maximize the value of those businesses for our shareholders. Our primary assets as of March 31, 2022 include our ownership interests in Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. ("Dun & Bradstreet" or "D&B"), Ceridian HCM Holding, Inc. ("Ceridian"), Alight, Inc. ("Alight"), Paysafe Limited ("Paysafe"), Sightline Payments Holdings, LLC ("Sightline" or "Sightline Payments"), System1, Inc. ("System1") and AmeriLife Group, LLC ("AmeriLife"); majority equity ownership stakes in O'Charley's Holdings, LLC ("O'Charley's") and 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants"); various other controlled portfolio companies and certain minority equity ownership interests.
See Note G for further discussion of the businesses comprising our reportable segments.
We conduct our business through our wholly-owned subsidiary Cannae Holdings, LLC ("Cannae LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company. Our board of directors ("Board") oversees the management of the Company, Cannae LLC and its businesses, and the performance of our external manager, Trasimene Capital Management, LLC (“Trasimene” or our “Manager”).
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, 2021.
All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our ownership interests in non-majority-owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or as equity securities. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded on the 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 fair value measurements (Note C). Actual results may differ from estimates.
Recent Developments
Ceridian
In January 2022, we completed the sale of 2.0 million shares of common stock of Ceridian pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Rule 144"). In connection with the sale, we received proceeds of $173.3 million.

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
We owned 8.0 million shares of Ceridian common stock as of March 31, 2022, which represented approximately 5.3 % of its outstanding stock as of March 31, 2022.
Refer to Notes C and D for further discussion of our accounting for our investment in Ceridian and other equity securities.
System1
On January 10, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the backstop facility agreement (the "S1 Backstop Agreement") pursuant to which our commitment to fund redemptions of shareholders of Trebia Acquisition Corp. ("Trebia") in conjunction with its merger with System1 (the "Trebia System1 Business Combination") increased from $200.0 million to $250.0 million. Also on January 10, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated sponsor agreement with the sponsors of Trebia pursuant to which the sponsors will forfeit up to an additional Trebia 1,352,941 Class B ordinary shares to Trebia, and Trebia will issue to Cannae an equal number of shares of Trebia Class A common stock in connection with, and based upon the extent of, Cannae’s obligation with respect to the increase in our backstop commitment. Trebia was co-sponsored by entities affiliated with the chairman and a member of our board of directors ("Board"), William P. Foley II and Frank R. Martire, respectively.
On January 27, 2022, the Trebia System1 Business Combination was completed and System1 merged with and into Trebia, with System1 as the surviving corporation. Beginning on January 28, 2022, System1’s common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "SST." Upon the completion of the Trebia System1 Business Combination, Cannae has invested a total of $248.3 million in System1, directly and indirectly owned 28.2 million of System1 common shares and indirectly owned 1.2 million warrants to purchase SST common shares (the "System1 Warrants"). As a result, Cannae has an approximate 26.5 % ownership of System1.
On March 17, 2022, the trading price of System1 Class A common stock exceeded certain thresholds resulting in the conversion of System1's outstanding Class D common stock to Class A common stock. As a result, the 833,750 shares of System1 Class D common stock held by the sponsor of Trebia, Trasimene Trebia LP ("Trebia Sponsor"), in which the Company owns a 26.1 % limited partnership interest converted to shares of System1 Class A common stock. Cannae's ratable portion of such shares is 217,500 shares.
We account for our direct ownership of the common equity of System1 under the equity method of accounting. See Notes C and D for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership of the common equity of System1.
On April 18, 2022, Trebia Sponsor exercised its System1 warrants on a cashless basis in exchange for System 1 Class A common stock. As a result, Cannae no longer has an indirect interest in any System1 warrants and has an indirect interest in an additional 0.5 million shares of System1 common stock held by Trebia Sponsor.
Subsequent to March 31, 2022, Cannae sold 1.4 million shares of System1 common stock for proceeds of $19.5 million.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Cannae directly and indirectly owns 27.5 million shares of System1 common stock representing an approximate 24.8 % ownership interest.
Optimal Blue
On February 15, 2022, we completed the disposition (the "Optimal Blue Disposition") of our ownership interests in Optimal Blue Holdco, LLC ("Optimal Blue") to Black Knight, Inc. ("Black Knight") pursuant to a purchase agreement dated as of February 15, 2022, by and among Black Knight, Cannae, and Optimal Blue, among others. In conjunction with the Optimal Blue Disposition, Cannae received aggregate consideration of (y) $144.5 million in cash and (z) 21.8 million shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Dun & Bradstreet. Following the consummation of the Optimal Blue Disposition, Cannae no longer has any ownership interest in Optimal Blue. We recorded a gain of $313.0 million on the sale which is included in Recognized gains (losses), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Dun & Bradstreet
On February 15, 2022, we received 21.8 million shares of D&B as partial consideration for the Optimal Blue Disposition. Subsequently, we transferred to our Manager 1.6 million of the D&B shares we received as part of our carried interest paid related to the Optimal Blue Disposition. Following the receipt of these additional shares of D&B and payment of carried interest, we own 88.3 million shares of D&B which represents approximately 20.3 % of its outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2022. See Note D for further discussion of our accounting for our increased ownership interest in D&B.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
Alight
In March 2022, the sponsor of Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. ("FTAC") distributed all of its interest in Alight to its limited partners. As a result, Cannae now directly holds all of its interest in common equity of Alight. As of March 31, 2022, Cannae directly holds approximately 9.7 % of the outstanding common equity of Alight.
Other Developments
Effective February 26, 2021, our Board authorized a -year stock repurchase program (the "2021 Repurchase Program") under which the Company may repurchase up to 10 million shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions through February 26, 2024. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 2,000,000 shares of CNNE common stock for approximately $54.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $26.96 per share, pursuant to the 2021 Repurchase Program. Of the total 2,000,000 shares of CNNE common stock we repurchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, 1,000,000 shares were purchased from FNF for an aggregate amount of $24.0 million.
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 loss per share is equal to basic loss 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 that have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.
Income Tax
Our effective tax rate was 18.0 % and 17.7 % in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding prior year period was primarily attributable to the varying impact of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates on loss before taxes.
We have a Deferred tax liability of $2.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and of $143.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The $141.5 million change in deferred taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to the sales of Ceridian shares during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the mark to market losses recorded on Ceridian and other securities, and the impairment recorded to the value of our ownership in Paysafe.

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 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.
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.

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 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:

Under the AAII FPA, we agreed to purchase an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of AAII’s Class A common stock, plus an aggregate of 3,125,000 redeemable warrants to purchase one share of AAII's Class A common stock at $11.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $125.0 million in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the AAII Initial Business Combination. Additionally, Cannae directly invested $29.6 million for a 20 % indirect economic interest in the founder shares held by the sponsor and a direct interest in 19,733,333 private placement warrants of AAII (the "AAII Warrants") at the initial public offering. The AAII FPA is contingent upon the closing of the AAII Initial Business Combination.
The AAII FPA is accounted for at fair value pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 321 Investment - Equity Securities. We utilized a Monte Carlo Simulation in determining the fair value of this agreement, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Monte Carlo Simulation model simulates the current security price to a simulated date for the consummation of the underlying initial business combination based on probabilities of consummation. The value of the agreement is then calculated as the difference between the future simulated price and the fixed purchase price for the underlying security to be purchased. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the AAII FPA is the probability of consummation of the business combinations of each underlying transaction. The probability assigned to the consummation of the AAII Initial Business Combination was 70 %. Determination of such probability is based on a hybrid approach which considers observed success rates of business combinations for SPACs, the sponsor of AAII's track record for consummating similar transactions and the current market for SPAC transactions. Based on the total fair value of the Austerlitz II FPA as of March 31, 2022, changes in the probability utilized will not result in a change in fair value that is significant or material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
AAII Warrants
The AAII Warrants are accounted for at fair value pursuant to ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging. These private placement warrants are valued using the trading price of AAII's publicly traded warrants (NYSE: ASZ-WT) and are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair values of Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis (in millions).

Dun & Bradstreet
As of February 15, 2022, there was a $244.2 million difference between the amount of our recorded ownership interest in D&B and the amount of the Company's ratable portion of the underlying equity in the net assets of D&B as a result of our increased ownership resulting from the Optimal Blue Disposition. We have evaluated the accounting treatment of such basis difference and allocated $147.7 million to amortizing intangible assets, $59.7 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets and the remaining basis difference of $36.8 million to equity method goodwill, which represent the excess of our basis difference over our equity in D&B's net assets that are not attributable to their identifiable net assets.

System1
We account for our ownership of System1 pursuant to the equity method of accounting. We intend to report our equity in earnings or loss of System1 on a three-month lag and we acquired our ownership interest on January 27, 2022. Accordingly, our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 does not include any equity in earnings or loss of System1.
Paysafe
Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate value of our ownership of Paysafe common stock was $202.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and the book value of our investment in Paysafe was $438.6 million prior to any impairment. Due primarily to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our investment, as well as negative trends in the alternative payments industry and decreasing market multiples of peer companies, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in Paysafe was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $236.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 which is included in Recognized losses, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a result of the impairment, the basis difference between the carrying value of our investment in Paysafe and the Company’s ratable portion of Paysafe’s net assets which was previously attributable to equity method goodwill was eliminated.
Equity Security Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
We account for our ownership of preferred equity of QOMPLX and certain other ownership interests at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly market transactions. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have $55.7

2020 Margin Facility
On November 30, 2020, Cannae Funding C, LLC (“Borrower 1”), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, and Cannae Funding D, LLC (“Borrower 2” and, together with Borrower 1, the “Borrowers”), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the “2020 Margin Facility”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada. The Company concurrently entered into a guaranty (the “Guaranty Agreement”) for the benefit of each of the lenders to the 2020 Margin Facility pro rata to their loan commitments, pursuant to which the Company absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all of the Borrowers’ obligations under the 2020 Margin Facility for a period of up to one year after the later of (i) the conditions precedent to the obligations of the lenders under the Loan Agreement being met (the date when such conditions have been met, the “Closing Date”) or (ii) as relevant, additional collateral or additional loan commitments being provided. Under the 2020 Margin Facility, the Borrowers may initially borrow up to $100.0 million in revolving loans and, subject to certain terms and conditions, may enter into an amendment to the 2020 Margin Facility to borrow up to $500.0 million in revolving loans (including the initial revolving loans) from the same initial lender and/or additional lenders on substantially identical terms and conditions as the initial revolving loans. The 2020 Margin Facility matures on the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date. All outstanding amounts under the 2020 Margin Facility bear interest quarterly at a rate per annum equal to a three-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. Interest will be payable in kind unless the Borrowers elect to pay interest in cash or a cumulative cap is exceeded. The Borrowers’ obligations under the 2020 Margin Facility will be secured by a first priority lien on (i) 6 million shares of Ceridian, which the Company contributed to Borrower 1, and (ii) 19 million shares of D&B, which the Company contributed to Borrower 2. The Borrowers may also, at their discretion, post up to an additional 4 million shares of Ceridian and/or 11 million shares of D&B as collateral for the revolving loans from time to time after the Closing Date, subject to certain notice, guaranty, average daily trading volume and other requirements. The 2020 Margin Facility requires the Borrowers to maintain a certain loan-to-value ratio (based on the value of Ceridian and D&B shares). In the event the Borrowers fail to maintain such loan-to-value ratio, the Borrowers must post additional cash collateral under the Loan Agreement and/or elect to repay a portion of the revolving loans thereunder, or sell the Ceridian and/or D&B shares and use the proceeds from such sale to prepay a portion of the revolving loans thereunder.
On August 16, 2021, the Borrowers entered into an amendment agreement to the 2020 Margin Facility, which increased the borrowing capacity of the 2020 Margin Facility by an additional $100.0 million and resulted in the transfer of 16 million additional shares of D&B to Borrower 2 as collateral. On December 10, 2021, the Borrowers entered into a second amendment agreement to the 2020 Margin Facility, which increased the borrowing capacity by an additional $100.0 million and released 1 million shares of Ceridian as collateral. As of December 31, 2021, the 2020 Margin Facility was secured by a first priority lien on 5 million shares of Ceridian and 35 million shares of D&B.
On January 20, 2022, the Borrowers entered into a third amendment agreement to the 2020 Margin Facility, which added 1 million shares of Ceridian as collateral, limited the collateral value of D&B shares to 1.5 times that of the Ceridian shares for purposes of calculating loan-to-value ratios, and decreased the threshold price of Ceridian shares and D&B shares.
As of March 31, 2022, there was no outstanding balance under the 2020 Margin Facility, $300.0 million of capacity under the 2020 Margin Facility with an option to increase the capacity to $500.0 million upon amendment, and the 2020 Margin Facility was secured by 6 million shares of Ceridian and 35 million shares of D&B.
Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we borrowed $60.0 million under the 2020 Margin Facility.
Restaurants Credit Facilities
On December 21, 2018, 99 Restaurants LLC, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of 99 Restaurants entered into a credit agreement (the "99 Restaurants Credit Facility"), as amended from time to time, with Fifth Third Bank and other lenders thereto. The 99 Restaurants Credit Facility provides for (i) a maximum revolving loan of $15.0 million (the “99 Revolver”) with a maturity date of December 21, 2023; (ii) a maximum term loan of $37.0 million (the "99 Term Loan") with monthly installment repayments through November 30, 2023 and a maturity date of December 21, 2023 for the outstanding unpaid principal balance. The 99 Restaurants Credit Facility also allowed for 99 Restaurants LLC to request up to $5.0 million of letters of credit commitments and $2.5 million in swingline debt. On December 1, 2020, 99 Restaurants LLC entered into a waiver, consent and amendment to the 99 Restaurants Credit Facility pursuant to which the borrowing capacity under the 99 Revolver was permanently reduced by $7.5 million and certain financial covenants were waived, among other changes. The outstanding balance under the 99 Restaurants Credit Facility was paid off in its entirety on December 31, 2021 in conjunction with the execution of the 2021 Restaurants Credit Facility (defined below).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
On December 31, 2021, 99 Restaurants, LLC and 99 West, LLC, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of 99 Restaurants, O'Charley's LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of O'Charley's and Restaurant Growth Services, LLC, a 65.4 %-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "Restaurant Borrowers") entered into an amendment to the 99 Restaurants Credit Facility (the "2021 Restaurants Credit Facility"). The 2021 Restaurants Credit Facility principally provides for: (i) a revolving credit commitment of $25.0 million in the aggregate (the "Restaurant Revolver") and (ii) a sub-facility for an aggregate of $15.0 million of letters of credit. The 2021 Restaurants Credit Facility matures on December 31, 2026. The 2021 Restaurants Credit Facility is secured by certain assets of the Restaurant Borrowers and their subsidiaries and contains customary covenants and events of default.
As of March 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings and there is $25.0 million of aggregate borrowing capacity under the Restaurant Revolver.
Brasada Interstate Loans
On January 29, 2016, FNF NV Brasada, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company and majority-owned subsidiary of Cannae ("NV Brasada"), entered into a credit agreement (the “Interstate Credit Agreement”) originally with Bank of the Cascades, and later assigned to First Interstate Bank, as lender. Subsequent to various amendments from 2016 through 2022, the Interstate Credit Agreement currently provides for (i) a $12.5 million acquisition loan (the "Acquisition Loan"), (ii) a $2.1 million construction loan ("C Note") and (iii) a $0.7 million line of credit loan (the "Interstate LOC" and collectively with the Acquisition Loan and C Note, the "Brasada Interstate Loans").
The Brasada Interstate Loans are secured by certain single-family residential lots that can be sold for construction, owned by NV Brasada, and certain other operating assets owned by NV Brasada. The Company does not provide any guaranty or stock pledge under the Interstate Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2022, the Acquisition Loan had $9.9 million outstanding and incurred interest at rates ranging from 2.41 % to 4.51 %; the C Note had $2.0 million outstanding and incurred interest at 2.48 %; and the Interstate LOC had $0.7 million outstanding and incurred interest at 4.00 %.
FNF Revolver
On November 17, 2017, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. ("FNF") issued to Cannae 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 of 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 Cannae, in their sole discretion.
As of March 31, 2022, there was no outstanding balance under the FNF Revolver and there was $100.0 million remaining borrowing capacity.

Note F — 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,

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
we also 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 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 that represents our best estimate is recorded. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our accrual for settlements of legal proceedings was not considered material. 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.
On September 23, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit styled Oklahoma Firefighters Pension & Retirement System, derivatively on behalf of Cannae Holdings, Inc. v. William P. Foley, II, et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, certain Board members and officers of the Company, and the Manager, alleging breach of fiduciary duties relating to the Company’s Management Services Agreement. The plaintiff further alleges the Board breached their fiduciary duties by approving bonuses in connection with the initial public offering of Ceridian and the approval of an Investment Success Incentive Plan in August 2018. Along with the Complaint, the plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment as to the count seeking to void the Management Services Agreement. On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Management Services Agreement and plaintiff withdrew its motion for partial summary judgment as moot. On February 1, 2021, the court ordered the plaintiff's summary judgment motion withdrawn and dismissed the related count of the plaintiff's complaint. On February 18, 2021, our Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") consisting of two of the Board’s Directors, and has authorized the SLC, among other things, to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the lawsuit. The Board has also given the SLC the sole authority and power to consider and determine whether or not prosecution of the claims asserted in the lawsuit is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and what action the Company should take with respect to the lawsuit. On March 9, 2021, the Court entered a stipulated Order staying the action for six months to allow the SLC to investigate, review, and evaluate the facts, circumstances, and claims asserted in or relating to the action and to determine the Company’s response thereto. The stay has subsequently been extended through May 10, 2022. The defendants will contest the remaining claims in the action vigorously.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
We have certain unconditional purchase obligations, primarily in our Restaurant Group segment. These purchase obligations are with various vendors and are 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. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of March 31, 2022 to determine the amount of the obligations. Purchase obligations as of March 31, 2022 are as follows (in millions):

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 (this "Quarterly Report") 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 and changes in conditions resulting from the outbreak of a pandemic such as the novel coronavirus COVID-19 ("COVID-19"); risks associated with the Investment Company Act of 1940; 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 related to the externalization of certain of our management functions to our Manager; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our "Annual Report") and other filings with the SEC.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report.
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 Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.
Business Trends and Conditions
Dun & Bradstreet. D&B believes there are several key trends in the global macroeconomic environment generating additional growth in D&B's TAM and increasing the demand for its solutions, including growing recognition by business of the value of analytics and data-informed business decisioning, growth in data creation and applications driven by the proliferation of new technologies with new data sets and applications, advances in analytical capabilities that are unlocking the value of data, and heightened compliance requirements in the regulatory environment for business driven by the growth of new technologies.
Restaurant Group. The restaurant industry is 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 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. 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.
COVID-19. As described in our Annual Report, pandemics and other health emergencies such as the outbreak of COVID-19 may impact the operations and results of our various businesses. The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 and the associated government and social response adversely affected our Restaurant Group brands' guest traffic, sales and operating costs in fiscal years 2020 and into 2021. While we believe the operations of our businesses are no longer being materially, adversely impacted by COVID-19, if another variant of COVID-19 results in government and social responses similar to those experienced with the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, our results of operations may be adversely impacted again in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report are hereby incorporated by reference. Other than as described below, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates. On an ongoing basis, management monitors the Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates to determine whether there are indications that the fair value of an investment may be other-than-
21
temporarily below our recorded book value of the investment. Factors considered when determining whether a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary include, but are not limited to: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than book value, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of our investment in Paysafe based on quoted market prices was $202.6 million and the book value of our investment in Paysafe was $438.6 million prior to any impairment. Due primarily to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our investment, as well as negative trends in the alternative payments industry and decreasing market multiples of peer companies, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in Paysafe was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $236.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 which is included in Recognized losses, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revenues
Total revenues decreased $4.5 million, or 2.6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021.
The change in revenues and net loss is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, cost of restaurant revenue, other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
22
Cost of restaurant revenue includes cost of food and beverage, primarily the costs of beef, groceries, 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, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. Personnel costs that are directly attributable to the operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue.
Other operating expenses include management fees, carried interest fees, professional fees, advertising costs, travel expenses and impairments of operating assets.
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation related to investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of intangible assets.
Pre-Tax Loss.
Loss before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $6.5 million, or 1.9%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021.
The change in revenues, expenses and pre-tax loss is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Income Taxes.
Income tax benefit was $61.9 million and $62.0 million in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 18.0% and 17.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate 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 other income or earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates. The change in our effective tax rate in all periods presented is primarily attributable to the varying impact of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates on loss before taxes.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $5.2 million, or 3.1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased revenue related to our sale of Village Inn, Baker's Square, and Legendary Baking concepts subsequent to the prior year period. The decrease was partially offset by an overall increase in comparable store sales.
Revenue associated with our Legendary Baking, Village Inn, and Baker's Square brands was $8.8 million, $7.1, and $3.6 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
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 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 O'Charley's and 99 Restaurants brands (decreased) increased by (0.1)% and 25.3%, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in 2022 for our O'Charley's brand is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts, mostly offset by an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit. The increase in 2022 for our 99 Restaurants brand is primarily attributable to increased guest counts and an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit.
Cost of restaurant revenue decreased directionally consistent with Restaurant revenues. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue was 89.7% and 88.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021 is primarily attributable to increased costs of labor, food and supplies.
Personnel costs, Depreciation and amortization, and Other operating expense decreased $2.0 million, $1.9 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease in these expenses is primarily attributable to the sale of Legendary Baking, Village Inn, and Baker's Square brands subsequent to March 31, 2021.
Loss before income taxes decreased by $2.7 million, or 33.8%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from the corresponding period in 2021. The change in income was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

Personnel costs increased $11.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The increase in the three month period was primarily driven by $10.9 million in investment success bonuses paid in the 2022 period related to our sales of shares of Ceridian compared to no such expense in the 2021 period.
Other operating expenses increased by $31.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by management fees and carried interest incurred with our Manager of $10.6 million and $45.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $7.6 million and $17.1 million, respectively, for the same period in 2021. The carried interest for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was attributable to the Optimal Blue Disposition and the amount for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was for our distributions from the Senator JV. Of the total carried interest expense related to the Optimal Blue Disposition, $31.8 million was paid in D&B stock.
Recognized losses, net, decreased $48.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to the $313.0 million gain on the sale of Optimal Blue recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was partially offset by the $236.0 million impairment recorded on our investment in Paysafe in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and increased losses on equity
26
securities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. See Note D for further information on recognized gains and losses on equity securities.
Loss before income taxes decreased $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease 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, the AAII FPA, 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 March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.7 million, of which $21.3 million was cash held by the corporate holding company, and $300.0 million of capacity under our existing holding company credit facilities with the ability to add an additional $200.0 million of borrowing capacity by amending our 2020 Margin Facility. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we borrowed $60.0 million under the 2020 Margin Facility.
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 ownership interests as potential vehicles for creating liquidity. Our intent is to use that liquidity for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions, potentially reducing debt, repurchasing shares of our stock, other strategic initiatives and/or conserving cash.
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows (used in) provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $(38.5) million and $6.0 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in (decrease in cash provided by) operations of $(44.5) million is primarily attributable to the timing of payment and receipt of working capital assets and liabilities.
Investing Cash Flows. Our cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $65.8 million and $(282.8) million, respectively. The increase in cash provided (decrease in cash used in) by investing activities of $348.6 million in the 2022 period from the 2021 period is primarily attributable to proceeds from sales of investments, net of new and additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period.
Capital Expenditures. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment and other intangible assets were $4.0 million and $1.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The capital expenditures in 2022 and 2021 primarily consisted of purchases of equipment in our Restaurant Group segment.
Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $62.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities of $58.3 million is primarily attributable to increased treasury repurchases of $61.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by an increase in debt, net of paydowns, of $3.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Financing Arrangements. For a description of our financing arrangements, see Note E included in Item 1 of Part I 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, 2021 included in our Annual Report.
Contractual Obligations. Our long term contractual obligations generally include our credit agreements and other debt facilities, lease payments and financing obligations on certain of our premises and equipment, purchase obligations of the Restaurant Group and payments to our Manager.
Operating lease payments include the expected future rent payments of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, primarily for the Restaurant Group. The operating leases are accounted for pursuant to ASC 842 Leases.
27
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. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of March 31, 2022 to determine the amount of these obligations.
Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement between Cannae LLC and our Manager, Cannae LLC is obligated to pay our 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. Management fees payable to our Manager are included for the initial 5-year term of the Management Services Agreement that began in September 2019 and are based on our cost of invested capital of $2,932.0 million as of March 31, 2022.
Restaurant Group financing obligations include its agreements to lease its corporate office and certain O'Charley's restaurant locations, which are accounted for as failed sale and leaseback transactions.
As of March 31, 2022, our required annual payments relating to these contractual obligations were as follows:

Capital Stock Transactions. Effective February 26, 2021, our Board authorized a three-year stock repurchase program, (the "2021 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10 million shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions through February 26, 2024. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time.
We repurchased 2,000,000 shares of CNNE common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022 for approximately $54.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $26.98 per share. Since the original commencement of the 2021 Repurchase Program through market close on March 31, 2022, we repurchased a total of 2,516,584 common shares for approximately $72.5 million in the aggregate, or an average of $28.81 per share.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements since our Annual Report.
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, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, 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 such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
28
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
