NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A — Basis of Financial Statements
The unaudited financial information in this report includes the accounts of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “FNF”) prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to classifications used in 2014. In addition, we have corrected an immaterial prior period error to accrued personnel cost which affected the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Earnings and the Statement of Equity. We reviewed the impact of this error on the prior period financial statements and determined that the error was not material to the financial statements.
A summary of the effects of the immaterial correction on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2013 is as follows: Personnel costs increased $6 million in both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and Income tax expense decreased by $2 million, resulting in Net earnings attributable to common shareholders decreasing by $4 million in each period, with a corresponding decrease to EPS of $0.02 for each period. On the December 31, 2013 Balance Sheet, Income taxes payable decreased by $4 million, Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $12 million and Retained earnings decreased by $8 million. There was no impact on our other Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented.
Description of the Business
We have organized our business into two groups, FNF Core Operations and FNF Ventures, known as "FNFV." Through our Core operations, FNF is a leading provider of title insurance, technology and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries. FNF is the nation’s largest title insurance company through its title insurance underwriters - Fidelity National Title, Chicago Title, Commonwealth Land Title, Alamo Title and National Title of New York - that collectively issue more title insurance policies than any other title company in the United States. FNF also provides industry-leading mortgage technology solutions and transaction services, including MSP®, the leading residential mortgage servicing technology platform in the U.S., through its majority-owned subsidiaries, Black Knight Financial Services, LLC ("BKFS") and ServiceLink Holdings, LLC. In addition, in our FNFV group, we own majority and minority equity investment stakes in a number of entities, including American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("ABRH"), J. Alexander’s, LLC ("J. Alexander's"), Remy International, Inc. ("Remy"), Ceridian HCM, Inc. and Comdata Inc. (collectively "Ceridian") and Digital Insurance, Inc. ("Digital Insurance").
Recent Developments
On October 28, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a three-year stock purchase program, effective November 6, 2014, under which we can repurchase up to 10 million shares of our FNFV Group common stock through November 30, 2017. 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 did not repurchase any FNFV Group shares from November 6, 2014 through market close on November 7, 2014.
On September 9, 2014, we filed a draft registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to a proposed initial public offering of J. Alexander's common stock. J. Alexander's is currently presented as part of the Restaurant Group segment. The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined. The registration statement has not yet become effective. As a result shares to be registered may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time when the registration statement becomes effective.
On September 7, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Remy for a transaction (the "Spin-off"). Under the Spin-off, FNFV will combine all of the 16,342,508 shares of Remy common stock that FNFV owns and a small company called Fidelity National Technology Imaging, LLC ("Imaging") into a newly-formed subsidiary ("New Remy"). New Remy will then be distributed to FNFV shareholders. Immediately following the distribution of New Remy to FNFV shareholders, New Remy and Remy will engage in a series of stock-for-stock transactions ending with a new publicly-traded holding company, New Remy Holdco ("New Holdco"). In the Spin-off, FNFV shareholders will receive an estimated total of 16,615,359 shares of New Holdco common stock, or approximately 0.18117 shares for each share of FNFV tracking stock owned. The remaining shareholders of Remy (other than New Remy) will receive an estimated total of 15,652,824 shares, or one share of New Holdco for each share of Remy owned. Remy currently has approximately 32 million shares of common stock outstanding and at the conclusion of the Spin-off, New Holdco will have approximately 32 million shares of common stock outstanding. The Spin-off should be tax-free to all existing Remy and FNFV shareholders. This structure will result in New Holdco becoming the new public parent of Remy. Under the organizational documents of New Holdco, the rights of the holders of the common stock of New Holdco will be the same as the
FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
rights of holders of Remy common stock. The Spin-off is subject to customary closing conditions, including Remy shareholder approval, which based on FNFV's ownership of Remy is assured. On October 6, 2014, New Holdco filed an initial Form S-4 registration statement with the SEC, which includes a preliminary proxy statement with respect to the foregoing shareholder vote. In addition, on October 10, 2014, New Remy filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC with regard to the Spin-off. Both of these filings are subject to SEC review and comment before the Remy shareholder meeting can be set. The Spin-off is expected to close in December 2014 or in the first quarter of 2015.
On August 25, 2014, we acquired a 70% ownership interest in LandCastle Title ("LandCastle"), in exchange for our agreement to fund any escrow shortfalls in LandCastle's escrow accounts. At the time of the acquisition, LandCastle was a large third-party agent of FNF, operating primarily in the State of Georgia. To date, FNF's total cash contribution to LandCastle is approximately $19 million and based on our current understanding of the business could increase by approximately $0 - $10 million.
On August 19, 2014, ABRH completed a recapitalization whereby they entered into a new credit agreement for $210 million. As part of the recapitalization, ABRH's parent paid a special dividend to it's members, totaling $75 million. Of this special dividend, FNFV received $41 million. ABRH's parent also distributed its 28% ownership interest in J. Alexander's to FNFV, resulting in FNFV now directly owning 87% of J. Alexander's. See Note F for further discussion of the new credit agreement.
On August 12, 2014, we announced that Ceridian reached an agreement to exchange its subsidiary Comdata Inc. ("Comdata") with FleetCor Technologies Inc. ("FleetCor") stock in a transaction valued at approximately $3.5 billion. After repayment of existing Comdata indebtedness and transaction related expenses, total consideration received by Ceridian will be approximately $950 million, which will be paid in approximately 7 million shares of FleetCor common stock. FNFV owns approximately 32% of Ceridian. Approximately $250 million of the common stock of FleetCor will be placed in an escrow account to cover potential indemnity claims as set forth in the merger agreement. The escrowed shares will be released over a three-year period. The actual number of shares of FleetCor common stock received by Ceridian will be subject to adjustment based on the amounts of indebtedness and working capital outstanding at Comdata at the closing of the transaction as set forth in the merger agreement. The shares of FleetCor common stock that Ceridian will receive will be subject to a six-month lockup period after closing of the transaction. At the expiration of the six-month lockup period, Ceridian will be entitled to demand registration rights on all shares of FleetCor common stock, subject to customary limitations. At closing of the Comdata merger FNFV will indirectly own approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of FleetCor. The stock-for-stock transaction is expected to be tax-free for Ceridian and its shareholders. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014.
On June 30, 2014, we completed the recapitalization of FNF common stock into two tracking stocks, FNF Group common stock and FNFV Group common stock. Each share of the previously outstanding FNF Class A common stock ("Old FNF common stock") was converted into one share of FNF Group common stock, which now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the current trading symbol "FNF," and 0.3333 of a share of FNFV Group common stock, which now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "FNFV." Both FNF and FNFV began regular trading on July 1, 2014.
Effective June 1, 2014, we completed an internal reorganization to contribute our subsidiary Property Insight, a company which provides information used by title insurance underwriters, title agents and closing attorneys to underwrite title insurance policies for real property sales and transfer, from our Title segment to BKFS. As a result of this transfer, our ownership percentage in BKFS increased to 67%. Our results for periods since June 1, 2014, reflect our now 67% ownership interest in BKFS.
On January 13, 2014, Remy acquired substantially all of the assets of United Starters and Alternators Industries, Inc. ("USA Industries"). USA Industries is a leading North American distributor of premium quality remanufactured and new alternators, starters, constant velocity axles and disc brake calipers for the light-duty aftermarket. Total consideration paid was $40 million, net of cash acquired.
On January 2, 2014, we completed the purchase of Lender Processing Services, Inc. ("LPS"). The purchase consideration paid was $37.14 per share, of which $28.10 per share was paid in cash and the remaining $9.04 was paid in FNF common shares. The purchase consideration represented an exchange ratio of 0.28742 Old FNF common shares per share of LPS common stock. Total consideration paid for LPS was $3.4 billion, which consisted of $2,535 million in cash and $839 million in Old FNF common stock. In order to pay the stock component of the consideration, we issued 25,920,078 Old FNF shares to the former LPS shareholders. See Note B for further discussion.
Discontinued Operations
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet
FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
the definition of a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We have adopted this ASU for the interim period beginning July 1, 2014 and this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
The results from a small software company, which we acquired with LPS and which was sold during the second quarter of 2014, are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Total revenues included in discontinued operations were $2 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2014. Pre-tax earnings included in discontinued operations are $1 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2014.
The results from two closed J. Alexander's locations and a settlement services company closed in the second quarter of 2013 are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented. There were no revenues included in discontinued operations for the three months ending September 30, 2013, and $8 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2013. Pre-tax loss included in discontinued operations was $3 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2013. There was no pre-tax earnings or loss for the three months ending September 13, 2013
Transactions with Related Parties
As we no longer have any officers in common with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. ("FIS"), effective January 1, 2014, we no longer consider FIS a related party.
Agreements with FIS
A summary of the agreements that were in effect with FIS through December 31, 2013 is as follows:
| |
• | Information Technology (“IT”) and data processing services from FIS. This agreement governs IT support services provided to us by FIS, primarily consisting of infrastructure support and data center management. Certain subsidiaries of FIS also provided technology consulting services to FNF during 2013. |
| |
• | Administrative aviation corporate support and cost-sharing services to FIS. |
A detail of net revenues and expenses between us and FIS that were included in our results of operations for the periods presented is as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, 2013 | | Nine months ended September 30, 2013 |
| (in millions) |
Corporate services and cost-sharing revenue | $ | 1 |
| | $ | 4 |
|
Data processing expense | (9 | ) | | (25 | ) |
Net expense | $ | (8 | ) | | $ | (21 | ) |
We believe the amounts earned by us or charged to us under each of the foregoing arrangements are fair and reasonable. The IT infrastructure support and data center management services provided to us are priced within the range of prices that FIS offers to its unaffiliated third party customers for the same types of services. However, the amounts we earned or were charged under these arrangements were not negotiated at arm’s-length, and may not represent the terms that we might have obtained from an unrelated third party. The net amount due to FIS as a result of these agreements was $3 million as of December 31, 2013.
Included in equity securities available for sale at December 31, 2013, are 1,303,860 shares of FIS stock which were purchased during the fourth quarter of 2009 in connection with a merger between FIS and Metavante Technologies, Inc. The fair value of our investment was $70 million as of December 31, 2013.
Also included in fixed maturities available for sale are FIS bonds with a fair value of $42 million as of December 31, 2013.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, 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 stock options, shares of restricted stock, convertible debt instruments and certain other convertible share based payments which have
FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.
Options or other 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. There were no antidilutive options during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. There were one million shares related to antidilutive options excluded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.
As of the close of business on June 30, 2014, we completed the recapitalization of Old FNF common stock into two tracking stocks, FNF Group common stock and FNFV Group common stock. As a result of the recapitalization, the weighted average shares outstanding presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings includes shares of Old FNF common stock, FNF Group common stock and FNFV Group common stock. Earnings per share for all periods presented is attributed to the related class of common stock.
Note B — Acquisition of Lender Processing Services, Inc.
The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during any year are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition.
On January 2, 2014, we completed the purchase of LPS. The purchase consideration paid was $37.14 per share, of which $28.10 per share was paid in cash and the remaining $9.04 was paid in Old FNF common shares. The purchase consideration represented an exchange ratio of 0.28742 Old FNF common shares per share of LPS common stock. Total consideration paid for LPS was $3.4 billion, which consisted of $2,535 million in cash and $839 million in Old FNF common stock. In order to pay the stock component of the consideration, we issued 25,920,078 Old FNF shares to the former LPS shareholders. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired.
The initial purchase price is as follows (in millions):
|
| | | |
Cash paid for LPS outstanding shares | $ | 2,535 |
|
Less: cash acquired from LPS | (282 | ) |
Net cash paid for LPS | 2,253 |
|
FNF common stock issued (25,920,078 shares) | 839 |
|
Total net consideration paid | $ | 3,092 |
|
The purchase price has been initially allocated to the LPS assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. This estimate is preliminary and subject to adjustments as we complete our valuation process with respect to certain intangible assets, legal contingencies, taxes and goodwill, which we expect to have complete by December 2014.

In connection with the LPS acquisition, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Black Knight Holdings, Inc. ("Black Knight"). Black Knight is the mortgage and finance industries' leading provider of integrated technology, data and analytics solutions, and transaction services. Black Knight has two operating businesses, ServiceLink and BKFS. After acquiring LPS, we retained a 65% ownership interest in each of the subsidiaries and the subsidiaries each issued 35% minority ownership interest to funds affiliated with Thomas H. Lee Partners and certain related entities on January 3, 2014. BKFS and ServiceLink now own and operate the former LPS businesses and our legacy ServiceLink business.

Effective June 1, 2014, we completed an internal reorganization to contribute our subsidiary Property Insight, a company which provides information used by title insurance underwriters, title agents and closing attorneys to underwrite title insurance policies for real property sales and transfer, from our Title segment to BKFS. As a result of this transfer, our ownership percentage in BKFS increased to 67%. Our results for periods since June 1, 2014, reflect our now 67% ownership interest in BKFS.
As a result of our acquisition of LPS, the following additions were made to our significant accounting policies during the first quarter of 2014:
BKFS Revenue Recognition
Within our BKFS segment, we recognize revenues in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Recording revenues requires judgment, including determining whether an arrangement includes multiple elements, whether any of the elements are essential to the functionality of any other elements, and the allocation of the consideration based on each element's relative selling price. Customers receive certain contract elements over time and changes to the elements in an arrangement, or in our determination of the relative selling price for these elements, could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue reflected in our financial statements.
The primary judgments relating to our revenue recognition are determining when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Judgment is also required to determine whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting.
If the deliverables under a contract are software related, we determine the appropriate units of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units. This determination, as well as management’s ability to establish vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for the individual deliverables, can impact both the amount and the timing of revenue recognition under these agreements. The inability to establish VSOE for each contract deliverable results in having to record deferred revenues and/or applying the residual method. For arrangements where we determine VSOE for software maintenance using a stated renewal rate within the contract, we use judgment to determine whether the renewal rate represents fair value for that element as if it had been sold on a stand-alone basis. For a small percentage of revenues, we use contract accounting when the arrangement with the customer includes significant customization, modification, or production of software. For elements accounted for under contract accounting, revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method since reasonably dependable estimates of revenues and contract hours applicable to various elements of a contract can be made.
We are often party to multiple concurrent contracts with the same customer. These situations require judgment to determine whether the individual contracts should be aggregated or evaluated separately for purposes of revenue recognition. In making this determination we consider the timing of negotiating and executing the contracts, whether the different elements of the contracts are interdependent and whether any of the payment terms of the contracts are interrelated.
Due to the large number, broad nature and average size of individual contracts we are a party to, the impact of judgments and assumptions that we apply in recognizing revenue for any single contract is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated operations. However, the broader accounting policy assumptions that we apply across similar arrangements or classes of customers could significantly influence the timing and amount of revenue recognized in our result of operations.

Capitalized software includes the fair value of software acquired in business combinations, purchased software and capitalized software development costs. Purchased software is recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Software acquired in business combinations is recorded at its fair value and amortized using straight-line or accelerated

methods over its estimated useful life, ranging from 5 to 10 years. In our BKFS segment we have significant internally developed software. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. Useful lives of computer software range from 3 to 10 years. Capitalized software development costs are accounted for in accordance with either ASC Topic 985, Software, Subtopic 20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”), or ASC 350, Subtopic 40, Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”). For software products to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed (ASC 985-20 software), all costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility are research and development costs, and are expensed as they are incurred. Costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, such as programmers' salaries and related payroll costs and costs of independent contractors, are capitalized and amortized on a product by product basis commencing on the date of general release to customers. We do not capitalize any costs once the product is available for general release to customers. For internal-use computer software products (ASC 350-40 software), internal and external costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as they are incurred. Internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized on a product by product basis commencing on the date the software is ready for its intended use. We do not capitalize any costs once the software is ready for its intended use.
We also assess the recorded value of computer software for impairment on a regular basis by comparing the carrying value to the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the underlying software asset. There is an inherent uncertainty in determining the expected useful life of or cash flows to be generated from computer software. We have not historically experienced material changes in these estimates but could be subject to them in the future.
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
As discussed above, subsequent to the acquisition of LPS we issued 35% ownership interests in each of BKFS and ServiceLink to funds affiliated with Thomas H. Lee Partners ("THL" or "the minority interest holder"). As part of the Unit Purchase Agreement with THL, THL has an option to put their ownership interests of either or both of BKFS and ServiceLink to us if no public offering of the corresponding business has been consummated after four years from the date of FNF's purchase of LPS. The units owned by THL ("redeemable noncontrolling interests") may be settled in cash or common stock of FNF or a combination of both at our election. The redeemable noncontrolling interests will be settled at the current fair value at the time we receive notice of THL's put election as determined by the parties or by a third party appraisal under the terms of the Unit Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2014, we do not believe the exercise of this put right to be probable.
As these redeemable noncontrolling interests provide for redemption features not solely within our control, we classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity in accordance with ASC 480-10, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Redeemable noncontrolling interests held by third parties in subsidiaries owned or controlled by FNF is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet outside permanent equity; and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings reflects the respective redeemable noncontrolling interests in Net earnings (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, the effect of which is removed from the net earnings attributable to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. common shareholders.

Our Level 2 fair value measures for fixed-maturities available for sale are provided by third-party pricing services. We utilize one firm for our taxable bond and preferred stock portfolio and another for our tax-exempt bond portfolio. These pricing services are leading global providers of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. We rely on one price for each instrument to determine the carrying amount of the assets on our balance sheet. The inputs utilized in these pricing methodologies include observable measures such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. We review the pricing methodologies for all of our Level 2 securities by obtaining an understanding of the valuation models and assumptions used by the third-party as well as independently comparing the resulting prices to other publicly available measures of fair value and internally developed models. The pricing methodologies used by the relevant third party pricing services are as follows:
| |
• | U.S. government and agencies: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers. |
| |
• | State and political subdivisions: These securities are valued based on data obtained for similar securities in active markets and from inter-dealer brokers. Factors considered include relevant trade information, dealer quotes and other relevant market data. |
| |
• | Corporate debt securities: These securities are valued based on dealer quotes and related market trading activity. Factors considered include the bond's yield, its terms and conditions, and any other feature which may influence its risk and thus marketability, as well as relative credit information and relevant sector news. |
| |
• | Mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities: These securities are comprised of agency mortgage-backed securities, collaterized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities. They are valued based on available trade information, dealer quotes, cash flows, relevant indices and market data for similar assets in active markets. |
| |
• | Foreign government bonds: These securities are valued based on a discounted cash flow model incorporating observable market inputs such as available broker quotes and yields of comparable securities. |
| |
• | Preferred stocks: Preferred stocks are valued by calculating the appropriate spread over a comparable U.S. Treasury security. Inputs include benchmark quotes and other relevant market data. |
Our Level 2 fair value measures for our interest rate swap, foreign currency contracts, and commodity contracts are valued using the income approach. This approach uses techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).
Our Level 3 investments consist of structured notes that were purchased in 2009. During the third quarter of 2014, all of our outstanding structured notes matured and we received $39 million in cash upon maturity, resulting in a net realized (loss) gain of $(2) million and $1 million for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2014. We recorded no gain or loss relating to the structured notes during the three months ended September 30, 2013, and recorded a net loss of $2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We held no structured notes at September 30, 2014 and the structured notes had a par value and a fair value of $38 million at December 31, 2013. The structured notes were held for general investment purposes and represented approximately one percent of our total investment portfolio. The structured notes were classified as other long-term investments and were measured in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value of these instruments represented exit prices obtained from a broker-dealer. These exit prices were the product of a proprietary valuation model utilized by the trading desk of the broker-dealer and contain assumptions relating to volatility, the level of interest rates, and the value of the underlying commodity indices. We reviewed the pricing methodologies for our Level 3 investments to ensure that they are reasonable and we believe they represented an exit price for the securities at December 31, 2013.

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. Included above in amounts subject to call are $1,393 million and $1,417 million in amortized cost and fair value, respectively, of fixed maturity securities with make-whole call provisions as of September 30, 2014.

During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2014, we recorded no impairment charges relating to investments. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2013, we recorded no impairment charges relating to investments. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we recorded impairment charges on fixed maturity securities relating to investments that were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, which resulted in additional expense of $1 million. As of September 30, 2014, we held no fixed maturity securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been previously recognized. It is possible that future events may lead us to recognize potential future impairment losses related to our investment portfolio and that unanticipated future events may lead us to dispose of certain investment holdings and recognize the effects of any market movements in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
