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 are a diversified holding company that offers shareholders a unique opportunity to generate returns through owning a portfolio of operating businesses. Cannae is transitioning its portfolio to focus on sports and entertainment-related assets, with the goal of building a more concentrated and synergistic portfolio to generate long-term investment returns and stock price appreciation for our shareholders. We believe our permanent capital base, long-term ownership and active involvement in the management and operations of our companies help maximize the value of those businesses for our shareholders.
We primarily acquire interests in operating companies and are engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of those companies. 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.
Our primary assets as of September 30, 2026 include our ownership interests in Alight, Inc. ("Alight"); Black Knight Football Club US, LP ("Black Knight Football" or "BKFC"); JANA Partners Capital, LLC, JANA Partners Management, LP and JANA Partners Management GP, LLC (together, "JANA" or "JANA Partners"); Space Exploration Technologies Corp. ("SpaceX"); Computer Services, Inc. ("CSI"); JANA Strategic Investments Benchmark Fund ("JANA Fund"); Exeter Rugby Group ("Exeter" or "ERG"), High Sierra Distillery, LP ("Minden Mill"); AmeriLife Group, LLC ("AmeriLife"); 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants"); and various other controlled subsidiary companies and minority equity ownership interests.
See Note E - Segment Information for further discussion of the businesses comprising our reportable segments.
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, 2025.
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 recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of our majority-owned subsidiaries' net earnings or loss that is owned by noncontrolling shareholders of such subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of equity owned by noncontrolling shareholders in our consolidated subsidiaries.
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 in accounting for certain equity investments (Note B - Investments and Note C - Fair Value Measurements), and the valuation allowance recorded on our federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and certain deferred taxes related to our investments (see information below under the heading Income Taxes for further information). Actual results could differ from estimates.
Recent Developments
Black Knight Football
In January 2026, BKFC purchased the remaining 60% equity interest in FC Lorient ("FCL"), a French Ligue 1 football club, for total consideration of $70.3 million including cash of $40.7 million and stock of BKFC of $29.6 million and BKFC

now holds a 100% ownership interest in FCL. The Company invested $21.8 million and $36.4 million in BKFC during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, we held a 44.3% ownership interest in BKFC.
See Note B - Investments for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership interest in BKFC and other equity method investments.
Exeter Rugby
On June 29, 2026, Cannae, through its newly formed subsidiary Black Knight Rugby, LLC ("Black Knight Rugby" or "BKR"), acquired 100% of the ownership interests in Exeter (the "Exeter Acquisition"), a professional rugby club based in England which competes in the top division of the English rugby union system.
See Note K - Acquisitions for further discussion of our accounting for the Exeter Acquisition.
Brasada Ranch
On July 15, 2026, Cannae closed on the sale of its 87% equity interest in Brasada Ranch to a company owned by William P. Foley, II ("Mr. Foley"), the Company's Vice Chairman, for $20.7 million (the "Brasada Sale"). The purchase price was satisfied through the termination of the Put Right (as defined below), which had a carrying value of $20.7 million at the closing date. In connection therewith, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with Mr. Foley dated July 15, 2026 that amends the Director Services Agreement dated May 12, 2025 (the "DSA") to delete the provision that permitted Mr. Foley to sell 50% of his shares of common stock of the Company back to Cannae. As a result of the Brasada Sale, the Company deconsolidated Brasada and recognized a gain of $8.7 million, net of transaction costs, which is included in Recognized gains (losses), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
The Brasada Sale was reviewed and unanimously approved by Cannae’s Related Person Transaction Committee, as well as by Cannae’s Board of Directors, and Mr. Foley did not participate in the Board’s deliberations and did not vote on the Brasada Sale.
See Put Right section below and Note C - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of the fair value of the Put Right.
Watkins
On July 30, 2026, Cannae completed the sale of its 49.3% ownership interest in Watkins Holdings, LLC ("Watkins") to KDSA Investment Partners for $90.0 million in cash proceeds. As a result of the Watkins sale, the Company recognized a gain of $14.9 million, which is included in Recognized gain/loss on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. Following the consummation of the Watkins transaction, Cannae no longer has any ownership interest in Watkins.
O'Charley's
On September 14, 2026, Cannae Newport Holdings, LLC along with O'Charley's Holdings, LLC and its other subsidiaries (collectively "O'Charley's") entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors ("ABC") in the state of Delaware wherein it assigned all of its assets to a third-party to be liquidated for the benefit of the creditors of O'Charley's (the "O'Charley's ABC"). All 45 locations of O'Charley's restaurants closed on September 9, 2026 in anticipation of the O'Charley's ABC. As a result of the O'Charley's ABC, the Company lost control over O'Charley's and deconsolidated the business as of September 14, 2026 and we reclassified the results of operations of O'Charley's as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For further discussion regarding the O'Charley's ABC see Note J - Discontinued Operations.
Other Developments
On March 6, 2026, Cannae Funding A, LLC ("Cannae Funding A"), an indirect wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, prepaid in full all outstanding obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2020 (as amended, the "Margin Loan Agreement") and terminated its revolving loan facility with Bank of America which was secured by shares of Alight common stock. There was no outstanding principal or interest advances under the Margin Loan Agreement as of the pay-off date.
On March 24, 2025, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program (the "2025 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Such repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not supersede or impact the repurchase capacity under the prior authorizations. During the three months ended
CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 1,871,587 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $29.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $15.49 per share under the 2025 Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 5,299,087 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $73.4 million in the aggregate, or an average of $13.86 per share under the 2025 Repurchase Program. Since the original commencement of the 2025 Repurchase Program through September 30, 2026, we have repurchased a total of 10,000,000 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $154.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $15.40 per share. As of September 30, 2026, there are no shares available for repurchase under the 2025 Repurchase Program.
On March 9, 2026, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program (the "2026 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Such repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The 2026 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The 2026 Repurchase Program does not supersede or impact the repurchase capacity under the prior authorizations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 1,181,438 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $18.3 million in the aggregate, or an average of $15.52 per share under the 2026 Repurchase program. Since the original commencement of the 2026 Repurchase Program through market close on November 6, 2026, we have repurchased a total of 2,302,348 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $36.8 million in the aggregate, or an average of $16.00 per share. As of November 6, 2026, there are 7,697,652 shares available for repurchase under the 2026 Repurchase Program.
The following dividends were declared by our Board in 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Declaration Date | | Record Date | | Payment Date | | Dividends Per Share |
| February 23, 2026 | | March 17, 2026 | | March 31, 2026 | | $0.15 |

Related Party Transactions
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we did not record any management fee and termination fee expenses with Trasimene Capital Management, LLC ("Former Manager"). The Company's agreement with our Former Manager was terminated in May 2025 and all expenses for the termination were recorded in 2025. The Company paid the Former Manager $16.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 associated with the termination.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred management fee expenses with our Former Manager of $19.0 million and termination fee expenses with our Former Manager of $9.9 million. These expenses are recorded in Other operating expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
See discussion under the header Brasada Ranch for discussion of our sale of Brasada Ranch to a company owned by our Vice Chairman, Mr. Foley and under Black Knight Football for discussion of investments made in BKFC. Mr. Foley is the general partner and controlling owner of BKFC.
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 and restricted stock units 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.
Instruments that provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were 0.9 million and no antidilutive shares of restricted stock outstanding, respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 0.8 million shares of restricted stock outstanding were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as inclusion of restricted stock would be antidilutive due to net losses.
CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

Put Right
On May 12, 2025, we entered into the DSA with Mr. Foley which included a provision for Cannae to repurchase half of the common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Foley at the greater of $19.50 per share of common stock or 20% in excess of the trading price of our common stock at the time such shares are sold back to the Company (the "Put Right"). The Put Right could have been exercised at the option of Mr. Foley beginning January 1, 2026.
In connection with the Brasada Sale, the Put Right was terminated effective July 15, 2026, by amending the DSA pursuant to the Letter Agreement.
Prior to the termination of the Put Right, the Company accounted for the Put Right as a liability at fair value in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480 and ASC 815. The liability for the Put Right was included in Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, current on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, the Put Right was extinguished as a result of the Brasada Sale. The initial measurement and subsequent changes in fair value of the Put Right are recorded in Recognized losses, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2025.
See Note C - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of the fair value of the Put Right.
Goodwill
During the second and third quarters of 2026, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its 99 Restaurants reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. This determination reflected the Company's ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Restaurant Group as well as management's review of the reporting unit's operating results and future cash flow projections. As a result, the Company performed quantitative goodwill impairment tests as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026 in accordance with ASC 350. Using a market approach, we determined the estimated fair value of our 99 Restaurants reporting unit was $38.0 million and $12.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026, respectively. The estimated fair values were compared to the reporting unit's carrying amounts of $70.1 million and $28.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026, respectively, which resulted in an excess of carrying amount over fair value. The impairment tests and valuations resulted in the Company recognizing goodwill impairment losses of $16.2 million and $48.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, which is reflected within Goodwill impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following the impairments, the goodwill balance associated with the 99 Restaurants reporting unit, which is included in the Company's Restaurant Group segment, was reduced from $53.4 million to $5.1 million. The fair value measurements of the reporting unit used in the impairment tests are nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements as they rely on significant unobservable inputs, including non-binding indications of value.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 34.9% and 3,800.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 15.7% and (10.1)% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The change in the effective tax rate in the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding prior year period was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2026 on the Company's remaining U.S. state and federal deferred tax assets, and the varying impact of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates on income tax expense (benefit). The change in the effective tax rate in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily reflects the prior year period, in which we recorded a valuation allowance of $99.0 million on our federal deferred tax assets, resulting in income tax expense on a pretax loss that included mark-to-market losses on investments. In 2026, with a full valuation allowance in place, the federal tax on pretax income, including the unrealized gain on SpaceX and the gains on the sales of Watkins and Brasada, is offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance; income tax expense primarily reflects a $2.2 million valuation allowance on the tax benefit recognized in other comprehensive loss, a $1.0 million valuation allowance on U.S. state deferred tax assets and state income taxes. The nontaxable gain on the bargain purchase of Exeter also reduced the 2026 effective tax rate.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires public business entities to disaggregate specific expenses in a tabular presentation. This includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and other relevant expense captions on the face of the income statement. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance is
CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

to be applied on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this authoritative guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Immaterial Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we identified an error in the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The error relates to the Company’s income tax receivable and was primarily the result of an incorrect treatment of certain business tax credits utilized in prior year tax returns which were reflected in the current income tax receivable rather than deferred tax assets.
Management evaluated the materiality of the error on a qualitative and quantitative basis in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, codified in ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that the error is not material and did not result in a material misstatement to its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. However, correcting the cumulative effect of this error in the first quarter of 2026 would have had a material effect on the results of operations for that period. Therefore, the relevant prior periods’ financial statements and related footnotes, for this error for comparative purposes, have been corrected. Previously reported financial information for this immaterial error will be corrected in future filings, as applicable.
A summary of the corrections to the impacted financial statement line items in the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Operations, and Equity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 is provided below. The corrections did not result in any changes to the Company’s total consolidated cash flows from operations, investing or financing activities.

Equity Security Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
We account for our investments in AmeriLife and certain other ownership interests at cost adjusted for any impairment or changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly market transactions. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have $143.1 million and $147.3 million, respectively, recorded for such investments, which is included in Equity securities, without a readily determinable fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we have not recorded any material upward or downward adjustments to these investments due to price changes or impairments.
The Company holds an equity interest in SpaceX which was acquired for $10.0 million in January 2023 as part of a tender offer. Prior to June 12, 2026, this investment did not have a readily determinable fair value and was accounted for under the measurement alternative under ASC 321-10-35-2 as noted above. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the investment was $27.5 million. On June 12, 2026, SpaceX completed its initial public offering and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "SPCX." As a result, the Company's investment no longer qualifies for the measurement alternative as the security now has a readily determinable fair value. Upon the occurrence of the IPO which created an observable fair market value for SpaceX, the Company remeasured its investment at the fair value as of the date of the IPO. In subsequent periods, we have marked the value of the investment to the market value as required by ASC 321-10-20. The fair value of the investment was $98.0 million as of September 30, 2026, resulting in a loss of $13.0 million and a gain of $70.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, which was included in Recognized gains (losses), net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
See Note C - Fair Value Measurements for further information on the fair value of our investment in SpaceX.
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.

In connection with the Brasada Sale, the Put Right was terminated effective July 15, 2026, pursuant to the Letter Agreement. See Note A - Basis of Financial Statements for further discussion of the Brasada Sale.
As of December 31, 2025, the Put Right was accounted for at fair value calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation with Level 2 fair value hierarchy inputs. The valuation model utilized the stock price and growth rate of the Company's common stock, the two-year duration of the DSA, the implied volatility of the Company's common stock using comparable public companies and a discount rate based on US treasury securities of similar duration to the Put Right.
Note D — Variable Interest Entities
The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are legal entities in which a group of equity investors individually lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it holds both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate. As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we are not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held variable interests in certain unconsolidated affiliates, which are primarily comprised of our ownership interests in BKFC, CSI, the JANA Fund and Minden Mill. Cannae does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we are not the primary beneficiary.
In addition, the amounts included in Other current assets or Other long-term investments and non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of notes receivable with Minden Mill.
The principal risk to which these investments and funds are exposed is the credit risk of the underlying investees. The primary assets for our ownership of these VIEs are included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
See Note B - Investments for further discussion of our accounting for investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Note E — Segment Information
As of September 30, 2026, Cannae has identified four reportable segments: Restaurant Group, Alight, BKFC and JANA. The activities in our segments include the following:
•Restaurant Group. This segment consists primarily of the operations of 99 Restaurants in which we have an 88.5% ownership interest. 99 Restaurants and their affiliates are the owners and operators of the Ninety Nine Restaurants restaurant concept. Prior to the O’Charley’s Assignment on September 14, 2026, this segment also included the operations of O’Charley’s, in which we held a 65.4% ownership interest. As a result of the O’Charley’s Assignment, the results of operations of O’Charley’s are presented as discontinued operations and have been excluded from the Restaurant Group segment for all periods presented. See Note J - Discontinued Operations for further information.
•Alight. This segment consists of our 7.6% ownership interest in Alight. Alight is a technology-enabled services company delivering human capital management solutions to many of the world’s largest and most complex organizations. This includes the implementation and administration of employee benefits (e.g., health, wealth and leave benefits) solutions. Alight’s numerous solutions and services are utilized year-round by employees and their family members in support of their overall health, wealth and wellbeing goals. Participants can access their solutions digitally, including through a mobile application on Alight Worklife®, their intuitive, cloud-based employee engagement platform. Through Alight Worklife, Alight believes it is defining the future of employee benefits by providing an enterprise level, integrated offering designed to drive better outcomes for organizations and individuals. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews the financial results of Alight for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources. Thus, we consider Alight an operating segment. We account for Alight using the equity method of accounting, and therefore, its results do not consolidate into ours.
•Black Knight Football. This segment consists of our 44.3% ownership interest in BKFC. BKFC is a partnership led by Mr. Foley, which owns and operates AFC Bournemouth ("AFCB"), an English Premier League ("EPL" or the "Premier League") football club, FC Lorient ("FCL"), a French Ligue 1 football club and Moreirense Futebol Clube ("MFC"), a Portuguese Primeira Liga Football club. BKFC purchased the remaining equity interest in FCL in January 2026 and now holds a 100% ownership interest in FCL. Prior to January 2026, BKFC held a 40% interest in FCL. BKFC acquired its controlling interest in MFC in June 2025. BKFC aims to grow into a leading multi-club operator of football assets across the world. Our CODM reviews the financial results of Black Knight Football for purposes of

assessing performance and allocating resources. Thus, we consider BKFC an operating segment. We account for our ownership of BKFC using the equity method of accounting and therefore its results of operations do not consolidate into ours. We report our equity in earnings or loss of BKFC on a three-month lag. Accordingly, our net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 includes our equity in losses of BKFC for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
•JANA Partners. This segment consists of our 50.0% ownership interest in JANA Partners. JANA is an investment manager founded in 2001. Our CODM reviews the financial results of JANA Partners for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources and thus we consider JANA an operating segment. We account for our ownership of JANA Partners using the equity method of accounting and therefore its results of operations do not consolidate into ours. We report our equity in earnings or loss of JANA on a three-month lag. Accordingly, our net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 includes our equity in JANA’s earnings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
•Corporate and Other. This nonreportable segment consists of our share in the operations of certain controlled portfolio companies and other equity interests, activity of the corporate holding company and certain intercompany eliminations and taxes.
Cannae’s CODM is the Company’s CEO, who oversees all of the Company’s investments and is responsible for the key operating decisions of the Company. The CODM primarily uses net earnings or loss and EBITDA as the performance measure for each operating segment which helps the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM uses the performance measure to evaluate profitability and income generated from the businesses in deciding how to allocate the Company's resources and decisions regarding the investee relationship. As net earnings or loss is the measure most consistent with U.S. GAAP, we include such measure in our segment tables that follow.
The tables below provide information about the Company's segments, as well as an aggregation of all other non-reportable operating segments within the Corporate and Other category. For Alight, BKFC and JANA, which are accounted for as unconsolidated affiliates, the amounts presented in the tables below represent our portion of equity in losses and our investment balance that reconcile to our consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets, respectively. Refer to Note B - Investments for certain summarized gross amounts of the results of operations of these unconsolidated affiliates.
We have disclosed those expenses for each reportable segment that are (1) regularly provided to the CODM; (2) included in each reported measure of segment profit and loss; and (3) considered significant, including categories of expense and amounts.
See Note B - Investments for additional summarized financial information of Alight, BKFC and JANA.

Revenue was recognized at a point in time upon closing of the sale of real estate or once goods and services had been provided and billed to the customer. Following the Exeter Acquisition, Other operating revenue will also include revenue generated by Exeter, consisting primarily of match day ticket sales, season tickets, corporate hospitality and sponsorships. Because we account for and consolidate Exeter on a three-month lag, no revenue from Exeter is included in our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
See Note A - Basis of Financial Statements for further discussion of the Brasada Sale and Note K - Acquisitions for discussion about the acquisition of Exeter.
All of our restaurant and other operating revenues are generated in the United States.

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"), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "2020 Margin Facility") with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada. On June 16, 2023, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended to, among other things, lower the immediate capacity from $250 million to $150 million. On August 17, 2023, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of the agreement to August 17, 2026, (ii) add 40 million shares of common stock of Alight to the pool of collateral, (iii) change the spread from 358 to 375 basis points and (iv) add Cannae Funding A, LLC ("Borrower 3" and together with Borrower 1 and Borrower 2, the "Borrowers"), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company. On March 4, 2024, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended primarily to (i) assign the facility from Royal Bank of Canada to Bank of America, (ii) extend the maturity date to March 4, 2027 and (iii) change the spread from 375 to 310 basis points.
On July 2, 2025, we borrowed an additional $40.0 million under the 2020 Margin Facility. On August 26, 2025, we paid off the entire balance of the 2020 Margin Facility in conjunction with the closing of D&B's definitive agreement to be acquired by Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (the "D&B Sale"). On August 27, 2025, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended primarily to (i) remove the Company's prior holdings of D&B from the collateral pool, (ii) reduce the capacity of the Margin Loan from $150.0 million to $50.0 million, (iii) reduce the spread from 310 to 275 basis points and (iv) extend the maturity date to August 27, 2028.
On March 6, 2026, the Company prepaid in full all outstanding obligations under the 2020 Margin Facility and terminated the Margin Loan Agreement. There were no outstanding principal or interest advances under the Margin Loan Agreement as of the termination date and the 40 million shares of Alight that were pledged as collateral for borrowings were delivered back to the Company.

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. On May 12, 2022, FNF and Cannae amended and restated the revolver note to, among other things, limit the use of proceeds for borrowings thereunder to the repurchase of our own shares of common stock from FNF (as amended and restated, the "FNF Revolver"). Pursuant to the FNF Revolver, FNF may make one or more loans to us with up to $100.0 million outstanding at any time. The FNF Revolver accrues interest at one-month adjusted SOFR plus 450 basis points and matures on November 17, 2025. 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.
On June 28, 2022, we completed the repurchase of all of our common stock previously held by FNF; accordingly, there is no incremental borrowing capacity available under the FNF Revolver. On January 29, 2024, the FNF Revolver was amended to (i) reduce the borrowing capacity to $60.0 million and (ii) change the interest rate to a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum. The Company also repaid $25.0 million of outstanding principal under the FNF Revolver.
On March 20, 2025, the FNF Revolver was amended to (i) reduce the borrowing capacity to $47.5 million, (ii) change the interest rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum, and (3) extend the maturity date to November 17, 2030 with the maturity date automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion. In the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company also sold real estate to FNF in exchange for a $12.2 million reduction of outstanding principal under the FNF Revolver.
As of September 30, 2026, there was a $47.5 million outstanding principal amount which incurred interest at 5.0% and there is no available borrowing capacity under the FNF Revolver.
Exeter Rugby
In connection with the Exeter Acquisition, Black Knight Rugby assumed two unsecured debentures previously issued by Exeter that remained outstanding following the transaction. Other Exeter-level indebtedness outstanding prior to the acquisition was repaid concurrently with the closing of the transaction.
The 150th debenture is due to mature in November 2031 and bears a nominal interest rate of 0%. The carrying amount assumed at acquisition was approximately $3.2 million.
The 2027 bond matures on November 30, 2027 and bears a nominal interest rate of 5.5%. The carrying amount assumed at acquisition was approximately $13.8 million.
In the aggregate, these two instruments represent the $17.0 million of notes payable reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation. Both instruments were recorded at their assumed fair value as of the acquisition date, which approximated carrying value given the debentures' terms. This fair value is preliminary and subject to change as the Company finalizes its purchase price allocation.
See Note K - Acquisitions for further discussion of our accounting of the Exeter Acquisition.

Note H — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also 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 September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 October 23, 2025, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption, New England Teamsters Pension Fund and Daniel Clark v. William P. Foley II, Anthony M. Jabbour, Thomas M. Hagerty, Douglas K. Ammerman, and Cannae Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2025-1220. The plaintiffs allege that the individual defendants, each of whom served as an officer and/or director of Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. at the relevant time, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the August 26, 2025 sale of D&B to a private equity firm. Specifically, the complaint asserts that the transaction undervalued D&B's stock, resulting in inadequate cash consideration for its stockholders. The plaintiffs further allege that certain of the individual defendants' knowledge should be imputed to the Company, and on that basis, include a claim against the Company for aiding and abetting the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, monetary damages, and other equitable relief. They also seek to certify a class comprising all former D&B stockholders who exchanged their shares for cash in the transaction, excluding the defendants and any individuals who were officers or directors of D&B at the time the transaction closed. On January 12, 2026, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The motion is fully briefed and set for hearing on November 10, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted in the litigation.
On September 10, 2026, a second putative class action lawsuit arising from the August 26, 2025 sale of D&B to a private equity firm was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida under the caption, FNY Partners Fund LP and FNY Managed Accounts, LLC v. Douglas K. Ammerman, William P. Foley II, Thomas M. Hagerty, Anthony M. Jabbour, Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. and Cannae Holdings, Inc., Case No. 1:26-cv-26258. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omissions in connection with the transaction and assert claims under federal securities laws on behalf of a putative class of D&B shareholders. On November 4, 2026, the court entered an order staying this action pending resolution of the motions to dismiss in the Delaware Court of Chancery action brought by the New England Teamsters Pension Fund. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted in the litigation.

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 regard to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of September 30, 2026 to determine the amount of the obligations. Purchase obligations as of September 30, 2026 are as follows (in millions):

Other Contingencies
On May 12, 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 30% ownership interest in JANA Partners in exchange for an upfront payment of $67.5 million and potential further payments aggregating to $26.0 million if JANA Partners achieves certain assets under management ("AUM") thresholds by certain dates (the "JANA Contingent Consideration"). The total potential liability of $26.0 million for the JANA Contingent Consideration is bifurcated into two tranches as follows: (1) a payment of $16.0 million if JANA Partners achieves an AUM threshold from September 2026 through December 2028 (the "Initial Payment") and (2) a payment of $10 million if JANA Partners achieves an AUM threshold as of December 31, 2028 (the "Additional Payment"). As of September 30, 2026 JANA Partners has achieved the AUM threshold necessary for the Initial Payment and, as previously disclosed, we have included $16.0 million in the basis of our investment in JANA Partners and a corresponding liability in Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, current in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Initial Payment of $16.0 million is expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2026. We do not consider the Additional Payment to be probable as of September 30, 2026.

Dun & Bradstreet
On March 24, 2025, Dun & Bradstreet ("D&B") entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired (the "D&B Sale"). As a result of the transaction, D&B is presented as a discontinued operation in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Through the date of the D&B Disposition (as defined below), we continued to exert significant influence over D&B and therefore we continued to account for this investment under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the reclassification of our investment in D&B as held for sale and a discontinued operation, we marked our investment in D&B to the fair market value implied by the stock price beginning as of March 31, 2025 and recorded an impairment of $68.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which is included in Net losses from discontinued operations, net of tax on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On August 26, 2025, the D&B Sale closed and Cannae completed the disposition of its ownership interests in D&B for aggregate proceeds of $540.3 million in cash in exchange for our remaining 59,048,691 shares of common stock (the "D&B Disposition"). Following the consummation of the D&B Disposition, Cannae no longer has any ownership interest in D&B.

O'Charley's Restaurants
On September 14, 2026 (the "Assignment Date"), O'Charley's entered into the O'Charley's ABC wherein all of the assets of O'Charley's were assigned to a third-party administrator (the "Assignment") in order to liquidate them for the benefit of its creditors. O'Charley's closed the doors to all of its 45 restaurant locations prior to the Assignment on September 9, 2026. As a result of the O'Charley's ABC and in accordance with guidance established in ASC 205, O'Charley's is presented as a discontinued operation in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and as of December 31, 2025.
Prior to the Assignment Date we exerted control over O'Charley's and therefore accounted for our ownership interest under the consolidation method of accounting. Immediately following the Assignment, we determined that Cannae no longer has control over O'Charley's because the power to direct the activities of the legal entities is held by the trustee of the assignment estate; therefore, we deconsolidated O'Charley's from our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the Assignment Date.
Prior to the deconsolidation described above, the Company’s senior secured note receivable from O’Charley’s was eliminated in consolidation and had no carrying amount in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Upon deconsolidation on September 14, 2026, the note ceased to be an intercompany balance, and the Company recognized it as a retained interest in O'Charley's. The Company's portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the note was $67.0 million as of the Assignment Date.
The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10 for the note on the date it was first recognized because we do not expect the principal or accrued interest to be recoverable. The fair value of the note was $0 at the deconsolidation date and at September 30, 2026, and thus no related asset is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The note is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value was estimated using a liquidation recovery analysis, under which estimated proceeds from disposition of the assigned assets in excess of the costs of administering the estate are expected to be
CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued
$0. The significant unobservable input is estimated proceeds from the liquidation of the assigned assets, which the Company estimates to be de minimis because the estate’s remaining assets have limited value.
No gain or loss was recognized on initial recognition of the note, and no changes in fair value were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company does not recognize interest income on the note.
As a result of the deconsolidation of O'Charley's, we recognized a loss of $13.4 million, net of transaction costs, which was calculated as the difference between (i) the carrying amount of O'Charley's net assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests and (ii) the value assigned to our retained interests in O'Charley's, which there was none. The loss is included in Net losses from discontinued operations, net of tax on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Note K — Acquisitions
On June 29, 2026, Cannae completed the Exeter Acquisition. Total consideration transferred included $1 to purchase the equity of Exeter and $9.6 million to settle an outstanding loan of Exeter which was required to be paid as a result of our acquisition. Black Knight Rugby and Exeter also entered into an intercompany loan agreement of $26.0 million (the "Intercompany Loan"), which was funded at close of the Exeter Acquisition. Exeter used the proceeds from the Intercompany Loan to pay existing liabilities, including the settlement of the $9.6 million loan included in consideration transferred, and retained the remaining balance on its balance sheet. The Intercompany Loan eliminates upon consolidation in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. The Exeter Acquisition reflects the Company's continued strategy of concentrating its portfolio on sports and entertainment-related assets.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. Because Exeter's financial information is not expected to be available to the Company on a timely basis consistent with the Company's reporting timetable, the Company will consolidate Exeter using a reporting lag of three months, as permitted by ASC 810-10-45-12. Based on the timing of the Exeter Acquisition, our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 does not include any activity for Exeter. The activity for Exeter will be included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2026 when it will include Exeter's results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The Company will give recognition, through disclosure or adjustment, to the intervening events or transactions between Exeter's most recent available financial information and the Company's period end that materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company received an updated valuation of certain assets acquired in the Exeter Acquisition and recorded measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. The adjustments increased Property and equipment, net by $17.5 million, Investment in Premiership Rugby Limited by $2.2 million, Other intangible assets, net by $0.6 million and Deferred tax liability by $0.2 million. Because the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of $29.7 million exceeded the consideration transferred of $9.6 million, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $20.1 million, included in Recognized gains (losses), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. Had the adjustments been recognized as of the acquisition date, the gain would have been recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Before recognizing the gain, the Company reassessed whether it had correctly identified all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and reviewed the procedures used to measure them and the consideration transferred, and concluded the measurements were appropriate. The bargain purchase resulted primarily from the circumstances of the sale, in which the sellers transferred the equity of Exeter for nominal consideration in connection with the required settlement of Exeter’s government-backed Sport England loan upon a change of control, and from the fair value of Exeter’s Sandy Park stadium and its investment in Premiership Rugby Limited exceeding the price a buyer was willing to pay for the business as a whole, given Exeter’s history of operating losses.

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 Quarterly Report are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. 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 among others, consumer spending, business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, investor and consumer confidence, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, inflation levels, changes in trade policy, tariffs on goods, and supply chain disruptions; 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; 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, 2025 (our "Annual Report") and other filings with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used herein, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Cannae," or the "Company" refer collectively to Cannae Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report. For an additional description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion in Note A - Basis of Financial Statements and Note E - Segment Information 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.
Seasonality, Macroeconomic Conditions and Other Business Trends
Restaurant Group. Recent years were a period of high inflation relative to long-term inflation expectations in the U.S. This inflationary environment primarily impacted the commodity and labor costs of our Restaurant Group. We have adjusted menu pricing to account for these cost increases to an extent, but will continue to balance the impact of inflationary pressures on our costs with the value proposition offered to customers, focusing on long-term profitability.
Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and second quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first half of the year. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.
We anticipate various macroeconomic factors will continue to drive uncertainty and instability, which could have a significant impact on the Company during fiscal 2026. These factors include, among others, consumer spending, business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, investor and consumer confidence, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, inflation levels, changes in trade policy, tariffs on goods, and supply chain disruptions. In light of increasing uncertainty in the markets we serve, we are unable to predict how long the current environment will last or the significance of the financial and operational impacts to us.
Our revenues and operating income 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.
We are continuing to explore strategic alternatives related to our restaurant group as part of our portfolio transformation strategy. In September 2026, we closed all O'Charley's stores and implemented the O'Charley's ABC in order to eliminate the burden of ongoing operating losses of O'Charley's on the Company's cash. We continue to explore strategic alternatives for 99 Restaurants.
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 - impairment monitoring. 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-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 September 30, 2026, the book value of our investment in Alight accounted for under the equity method of accounting is $67.6 million. Based on the closing stock price of Alight common shares as of September 30, 2026, the fair value of our investment in Alight was $18.1 million. While the fair value of our investment in Alight is currently below our book value as of September 30, 2026, the fair value has been below book value for nine months. Though we do not currently believe our investment in Alight is other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2026, because the fair value is below the book value of our investment, further declines in fair value of the investment, deterioration in Alight's actual or forecasted results of operations or adverse changes in the U.S. macroeconomic environment could result in an impairment charge in future periods to record our asset at fair value.
Accounting for Income Taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period enacted.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company has a deferred tax liability of $2.2 million related to United Kingdom corporate taxes of Exeter and no net U.S. deferred tax asset. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal NOL carryforwards and other U.S. federal deferred taxes assets, including those related to our ownership interests, where it is not more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized. As of September 30, 2026, our federal valuation allowance was $161.5 million. Additionally, a state valuation allowance of $7.7 million has been recorded on U.S. state deferred tax assets, including state NOLs, where it is not more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized, including state NOLs in certain states that may expire before they can be used.
The Company’s prospective investment strategy, fluctuations in the fair market value of its ownership interests prior to any dispositions and other factors may influence the timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities and their ultimate impact on taxable income or loss, which could have an effect on the recoverability of deferred tax assets and our related valuation allowances. The Company will continue to monitor the recoverability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and may need to adjust its valuation allowances in future periods.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
The following is a discussion of the material fluctuations in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The material changes in revenues, expenses and pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Revenues
Restaurant sales including food and beverage sales, 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.
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 at a point in time upon closing of the sale of real estate or once goods and services have been provided and billed to the customer.
Expenses
Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, cost of restaurant revenue, other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
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 restaurant-level operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue.
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation related to investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of intangible assets.
Other operating expenses include management fees, carried interest fees, professional fees, advertising costs, travel expenses and impairments of operating assets.
Recognized gains (losses)
Recognized gains (losses) increased $21.8 million, or 256.5%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The increase in Recognized (losses) gains is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Pre-Tax Earnings (Loss)
Earnings (loss) before income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates increased $4.4 million, or 4,400.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in Recognized (losses) gains in the period and is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense (benefit) was $1.5 million and $(3.8) million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 34.9% and 3,800.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rate fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability, changes in our valuation allowance 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 the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025 is primarily attributable to a $1.4 million valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2026 on the Company's remaining U.S. state and federal deferred tax assets, and the varying impact of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates on income tax expense (benefit).
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, consisted of the following:

| Other | 0.3 | | | (2.7) | | | | | |
| Total | $ | (11.4) | | | $ | (57.5) | | | | | |
The equity in losses of Alight in the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the pickup of our ratable portion of Alight's goodwill impairment of $1,338.0 million. The change in net income or loss from our unconsolidated affiliates that are reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
The following is a discussion of the material fluctuations in our consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The material changes in revenues, expenses and pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Recognized gains (losses)
Recognized gains (losses) increased $166.1, or 272.7%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The increase in Recognized (losses) gains is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.
Pre-Tax Earnings (Loss)
Earnings (loss) before income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates increased $167.3 million, or 115.9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $3.6 million and $14.6 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 15.7% and (10.1)% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our effective tax rate fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability, changes in our valuation allowance 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily reflects the prior year period, in which we recorded a valuation allowance of $99.0 million on our federal deferred tax assets, resulting in income tax expense on a pretax loss that included mark-to-market losses on investments. In 2026, with a full valuation allowance in place, the federal tax on pretax income, including the unrealized gain on SpaceX and the gains on the sales of Watkins and Brasada, is offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance; income tax expense primarily reflects a $2.2 million valuation allowance on the tax benefit recognized in other comprehensive loss, a $1.0 million valuation allowance on U.S. state deferred tax assets and state income taxes. The nontaxable gain on the bargain purchase of Exeter also reduced the 2026 effective tax rate.
Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, consisted of the following:

The equity in losses of Alight in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the pickup of our ratable portion of Alight's goodwill impairment of $2,321.0 million. The change in net income or loss from our unconsolidated affiliates that are reportable segments is discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026
Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $2.8 million, or 4.1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The reduction in revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in comparable store sales.
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 99 Restaurants decreased by 4.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts of 6.4%, partially offset by an increase in the average amount spent by guests each visit of 2.3%. The decline in same store sales is an unfavorable trend reasonably likely to have a material unfavorable impact on future net sales and income from continuing operations.
Cost of restaurant revenue decreased directionally consistent with Restaurant revenue in the period. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of Restaurant revenue was 90.9% and 89.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Goodwill impairment for the Restaurant Group segment increased $16.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. In connection with the Company’s ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Restaurant Group, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its 99 Restaurants reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As such, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2026 which resulted in an associated goodwill impairment loss of $16.2 million. Following the impairment, the goodwill balance associated with the 99 Restaurants reporting unit was reduced from $21.3 million to $5.1 million.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026
Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $7.1 million, or 3.4%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The reduction in revenue is primarily attributable to approximately a decline in comparable store sales.
Comparable Store Sales. Comparable store sales for our 99 Restaurants decreased by 3.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the comparable period in 2025. The decrease in 2026 is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts of 6.7%, partially offset by an increase in the average amount spent by guests each visit of 3.5%. The decline in
same store sales is an unfavorable trend reasonably likely to have a material unfavorable impact on future net sales and income from continuing operations.
Cost of restaurant revenue decreased directionally consistent with Restaurant revenues. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of Restaurant revenue was 89.3% and 88.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Other operating expense for the Restaurant Group segment increased $8.6 million, or 108.9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The change is primarily attributable to $8.6 million increase in non-cash impairment charges to property and equipment and lease assets of 99 Restaurants.
Goodwill impairment for the Restaurant Group segment increased $48.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. In connection with the Company’s ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Restaurant Group, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its 99 Restaurants reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As such, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2026 which resulted in an associated goodwill impairment loss of $16.2 million. As a result, the goodwill balance associated with the 99 Restaurants reporting unit was reduced from $53.4 million as of December 31, 2025 to $5.1 million as of September 30, 2026.

BKFC's total revenue is primarily attributable to Premier League media rights, matchday and sponsorship revenue earned by AFCB.
Total revenues for Black Knight Football increased $29.6 million, or 33.7%, and $70.1 million, or 33.5%, in the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, respectively. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $22.1 million and $41.7 million increase in Premier League revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, resulting from AFCB's higher placement in the Premier League table and an overall increase in the quantum of funds available from the Premier League. In addition, there was an increase in revenue in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding period in 2025 from the inclusion of consolidated results for FCL, and MFC in the current periods compared to the inclusion of only AFCB in the prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, FCL added revenue of $10.0 million and $15.5 million, respectively.
Player trading income for BKFC decreased $74.9 million, or 93.4%, and $39.4 million, or 43.5%, in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, respectively. The decrease is player trading income was primarily due to two major player trades that were conducted in the summer trading window in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and in 2026 the player trading took place during the winter trading window for the nine months ended June 30, 2026.
Depreciation and amortization for BKFC increased $15.3 million, or 50.5%, and $38.3 million or 44.3%, in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, respectively. The increases in both periods are primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of intangible assets for player registrations.
Net income (loss) attributable to Black Knight Football decreased $102.8 million, or 170.2%, and $50.3 million, or 503.0%, in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, respectively. The change was primarily attributable to a decrease in player trading income of $74.9 million and $39.4 million in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, respectively, as well as the fluctuations in revenue and depreciation and amortization described above.
JANA Partners
As of September 30, 2026, we own approximately 50.0% of the ownership interest of JANA Partners. We account for our ownership of JANA under the equity method of accounting, and therefore its results do not consolidate into ours. We report our equity in the earnings or loss of JANA Partners on a three-month lag, and accordingly, our net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 includes our equity in JANA’s earnings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |

Total revenues decreased $15.6 million or 50.3% in the nine months ended June 30, 2026 relative to the corresponding period in 2025. The change in revenue was primarily attributable to investment performance and related fee income.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026
Total operating expenses, excluding Brasada and certain intercompany eliminations ("Corporate Holding Company Expenses"), were $7.2 million and $9.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in Corporate Holding Company Expenses of $1.8 million, or 20%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025, was primarily attributable to a decrease in professional related to increased costs associated with our 2025 proxy statement and annual meeting preparation.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026
Personnel costs decreased $31.6 million, or 63.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The change in personnel costs was primarily driven by a prior year transition in executive management and related employment agreement which resulted in a $17.2 million cash payment and $8.3 million in accelerated stock vesting.
Other operating expenses decreased $33.5 million, or 59.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period. The change was primarily attributable to the termination of our prior management agreement in the prior year which accelerated fees incurred with our Former Manager including $19.0 million in management fees and $9.9 million in termination fees.
Corporate Holding Company Expenses were $24.9 million and $83.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in Corporate Holding Company Expenses of $58.8 million, or 70.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025, was primarily attributable to the decrease in personnel costs associated with the executive management transition and reduction in management fees described above and reflects the Company's board and management focus on cost reduction.

Discontinued Operations
As a result of the D&B Sale and the O'Charley's ABC, the financial results of D&B and O'Charley's have been reclassified to discontinued operations. See Note J to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for further details on the amounts included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements. Our short and long term cash requirements include management fees, personnel costs, other operating expenses, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, dividends on our common stock, and other potential business acquisitions or investments. On November 4, 2026, our Board declared cash dividends of $0.15 per share, payable on December 31, 2026, to Cannae common shareholders of record as of December 17, 2026. During the third quarter JANA Partners achieved assets under management above the Initial AUM Threshold as established in the May 2025 purchase agreement which requires Cannae to pay $16.0 million in additional contingent consideration. This payment was previously accounted for in accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect to make the payment during the fourth quarter of 2026. For further discussion relating to the payment see Note H - Commitments and Contingencies. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board. Additional uses of cash flow beyond the foregoing over the short and long term are expected to include stock repurchases and debt repayments.
As of September 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $111.7 million, of which $90.4 million was cash held by the corporate holding company.
We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to repurchasing our stock, paying dividends, reducing debt, and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, cash dividends or distributions from subsidiaries and holdings, cash generated from short-term investments, 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 Company's liquidity needs and periodically review the 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. As part of such forecasting, we actively manage the impact of rising interest rates on both our idle cash.
We are focused on evaluating our assets and investments as potential vehicles for creating liquidity. Our intent is to use that liquidity for general corporate purposes, including funding future investments, other strategic initiatives and/or conserving cash.
The Company is engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of operating companies. The Company accounts for many of its material holdings on an unconsolidated basis and therefore, a material portion of the cash inflow the Company generates is reported in cash flows from investing activities pursuant to GAAP. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Company expects to continue to generate a material portion of its cash inflow from activities classified as investing activities
under GAAP and does not expect to generate positive operating cash flows on a regular basis. The cash requirements of the Company typically come from the activities classified as investing activities under GAAP as we receive distributions from unconsolidated affiliates and at times sell a portion or all of our investment in these various operating companies.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026
Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows provided by (used in) operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 totaled $3.0 million and $(36.4) million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operations of $39.4 million is primarily attributable to $46.8 million of net cash refunds of taxes in the 2026 period compared to $24.3 million of cash refunds of taxes in the 2025 period and management and termination fees paid to our Former Manager of $11.3 million in the 2025 period compared to $16.9 million in the 2026 period. See Note I for additional information on cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds and Note A for additional information on cash paid for management and termination fees.
Investing Cash Flows. Our cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $40.5 million and $493.8 million, respectively. The change in cash provided by investing activities of $453.3 million is primarily attributable to (i) cash proceeds from sales of D&B for $629.8 million and $13.6 million in the sale of WineDirect, Inc. in 2025, compared to $90.0 million of proceeds from the sale of Watkins in 2026, partially offset by (ii) an $84.8 million decrease in additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates in 2026 compared to 2025.
Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $113.8 million and $357.4 million, respectively. The change in cash used in financing activities of $243.6 million is primarily attributable to $92.4 million of repurchases of treasury stock in the 2026 period compared to $232.6 million in the 2025 period and the payoff of our corporate margin loan for $101.0 million in the 2025 period.
Financing Arrangements. For a description of our financing arrangements, see Note G - Notes Payable 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, 2025 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 Former Manager.
Operating lease payments include the expected future rent payments of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, primarily for 99 Restaurants. The operating leases are accounted for pursuant to ASC 842 Leases.
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 regard 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 September 30, 2026 to determine the amount of these obligations.
As of September 30, 2026, our required future payments relating to these contractual obligations were as follows:

Capital Stock Transactions. On March 24, 2025, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program (the "2025 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Such repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not supersede or impact the repurchase capacity under the prior authorizations. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 1,871,587 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $29.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $15.49 per share under the 2025 Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 5,299,087 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $73.4 million in the aggregate, or an average of $13.86 per share under the 2025 Repurchase Program. Since the original commencement of the 2025 Repurchase Program through market close on November 6, 2026, we have repurchased a total of 10,000,000 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $154.0 million in the aggregate, or an average of $15.40
per share. As of September 30, 2026, there are no remaining shares available for repurchase under the 2025 Repurchase Program.
On March 9, 2026, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program (the "2026 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Such repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The 2026 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The 2026 Repurchase Program does not supersede or impact the repurchase capacity under the prior authorizations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 1,181,438 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $18.3 million in the aggregate, or an average of $15.52 per share under the 2026 Repurchase Program. Since the original commencement of the 2026 Repurchase Program through market close on November 6, 2026, we have repurchased a total of 2,302,348 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $36.8 million in the aggregate or $16.00 per share. As of November 6, 2026, there are 7,697,652 shares available for repurchase under the 2026 Repurchase Program.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes in the market risks described in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2026, solely because of the material weakness described below which has not yet been completely remediated.
Status of Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in Item 4 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the design and operation of controls over the determination of impairment charges for right-of-use ("ROU") assets and fixed assets held at the Restaurant Group. Specifically, the Company lacked appropriately designed and operating controls to ensure that impairment analyses, when performed, were evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, has designed and implemented the following measures:
•Enhanced controls over the identification of triggering events requiring impairment analysis for ROU assets and fixed assets at the Restaurant Group, including more formalized store-level performance and closure monitoring.
•Strengthened review controls over impairment calculations, including increased involvement of technical accounting personnel with appropriate expertise in ASC 360 and ASC 842.
The material weakness will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable remediation measures have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, the previously disclosed material weakness has not been remediated.
We expect to remediate the material weakness noted above during the year ending December 31, 2026. However, there can be no assurance these remediation measures will be successful or that additional actions will not be required.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation measures described above, which constitute a change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
