		PRESS RELEASE

Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2008 EPS of ($0.95); Results Include
a $261.6 Million Charge to Strengthen Reserve for Claim Losses

Jacksonville, Fla. — (October 22, 2008) — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a leading provider of title insurance, specialty insurance, claims management services and information services, today reported operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

     The following are summary financial and operational results for the operating segments of FNF for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

      Fidelity National Title Group (“FNT”)

- The preceding table only includes commercial activity from FNF’s commercial offices in the national commercial division and does not attempt to capture potential commercial activity in our local offices.

     “We continue to operate our businesses in an extremely difficult economic environment,” said Chairman William P. Foley, II. “Order counts in the title business continued to be weak in July and August, with a short-lived increase in early September that lasted only a few weeks. We remain focused on cost and expense management throughout the company, as we eliminated approximately 1,000 additional positions in the third quarter. The majority of those eliminations came later in the quarter, so our reported results do not reflect any significant benefit from those late quarter staffing reductions. Additionally, on October 1, we instituted a 10% company-wide pay reduction that will most likely remain in place through the first quarter of 2009. We also continued to close title and escrow offices during the third quarter, closing more than 115 offices at a total accelerated lease expense of $12.5 million. The significant

weakness in the capital markets also required us to record $42 million in realized losses during the quarter, with $7 million in actual realized losses from securities sold and $35 million in impairments from corporate bonds and equity securities. We continue to manage our investment portfolio in a conservative fashion, as the average rating remains Aa1/AA+ and the duration remains approximately three years. The $35 million in impairments are other than temporary accounting impairments, not actual cash losses. The final material event during the quarter was the $261.6 million reserve strengthening charge. Based on continued adverse reported and paid claims trends over the last six quarters, we made the decision in the third quarter to more heavily weight the three most recent full year’s data on loss experience in the actuarial model and incorporate that data into the assumptions and factors that determine ultimate expected loss experience for all prior calendar years. This particular change was the primary driver in requiring a significant increase in the level of our balance sheet reserve position. We believe this update to the actuarial model better reflects the expected loss experience that we will ultimately record because of this very difficult market.

     “Our specialty insurance business earnings were negatively impacted by the numerous hurricanes that hit during this summer, as we incurred homeowner’s losses during the quarter, but we won’t see the benefit of the increased flood claim processing revenue until the fourth quarter. Finally, our two major minority-owned investments, Sedgwick and Ceridian, both continue to generate consistent EBITDA margins, despite the tough operating environment. Overall, we are focused on continuing to navigate our way through these challenging times, maintaining profitability in our title insurance operation, providing significant liquidity and ensuring the strength of our balance sheet.”

     Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), is a leading provider of title insurance, specialty insurance, claims management services and information services.
