Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share. These are important financial performance measures for us, but are not financial measures as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial performance measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making, including determining a portion of executive compensation. We also present these non-GAAP financial performance measures because we believe investors, analysts and rating agencies consider them useful in measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial performance measures, we believe we offer investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which our management operates the company. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures presented in accordance with GAAP, and our use of these terms may vary from that of others in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, operating income, net earnings, cash provided by operating activities or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached schedules.

Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the Software Solutions and Data and Analytics segments are presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting. These measures are reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For these reasons, these measures are excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC'") Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

Adjusted Revenues - We define Adjusted Revenues as Revenues adjusted to include the revenues that were not recorded by Black Knight during the periods presented due to the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments are reflected in Corporate and Other. This adjustment for the full year 2018 is expected to be approximately $2.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA - We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net earnings, with adjustments to reflect the addition or elimination of certain statement of earnings items including, but not limited to:

    --  Depreciation and amortization;
    --  Interest expense;
    --  Income tax expense;
    --  Other expense, net;
    --  deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment;
    --  equity-based compensation, including related payroll taxes;
    --  costs associated with debt and/or equity offerings, including the
        spin-off of Black Knight from Fidelity National Financial, Inc. ("FNF")
        (the "Distribution");
    --  spin-off related transition costs;
    --  acquisition-related costs, including ongoing costs pursuant to a
        purchase agreement; and
    --  costs associated with executive transition.

These adjustments are reflected in Corporate and Other.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Adjusted Revenues.

Adjusted Net Earnings - We define Adjusted Net Earnings as Net earnings with adjustments to reflect the addition or elimination of certain statement of earnings items including, but not limited to:

    --  the net incremental depreciation and amortization adjustments associated
        with the application of purchase accounting;
    --  deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment;
    --  equity-based compensation, including related payroll taxes;
    --  costs associated with debt and/or equity offerings, including the
        Distribution;
    --  spin-off related transition costs;
    --  acquisition-related costs, including ongoing costs pursuant to a
        purchase agreement;
    --  costs associated with executive transition;
    --  significant legal and regulatory matters; and
    --  adjustment for income tax expense primarily related to assuming the
        conversion of all the shares of Class B common stock into shares of
        Class A common stock prior to the Distribution, the tax effect of the
        non-GAAP adjustments and the revaluation of our net deferred tax
        liability related to purchase accounting, equity-based compensation and
        debt modifications.

Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share - For the periods prior to the Distribution, we calculate per share amounts assuming the exchange of all shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of the respective period. We also include the dilutive effect of any unvested restricted shares of common stock.

ASC 606

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue recognition standard to existing revenue contracts that were active as of the adoption date as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings. The reported results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflect the application of ASC 606, while the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the related accounting standards in effect for those periods.

              (1)              For the periods presented,

                                  include unvested restricted stock
                                  awards and the shares of Class B
                                  common stock prior to the
                                  Distribution. The shares of Class
                                  B common stock did not share in
                                  the earnings or losses of Black
                                  Knight and were, therefore, not
                                  participating securities.
                                  Accordingly, basic and diluted net
                                  earnings per share of Class B
                                  common stock have not been
                                  presented. For the nine months
                                  ended September 30, 2017, the
                                  numerator in the diluted net
                                  earnings per share calculation was
                                  adjusted to reflect our income tax
                                  expense at an expected effective
                                  tax rate assuming the conversion
                                  of the shares of Class B common
                                  stock into shares of Class A
                                  common stock on a one-for-one
                                  basis prior to Distribution. The
                                  effective tax rate for the nine
                                  months ended September 30, 2017
                                  was 41.1%. The denominator
                                  includes approximately 84.4
                                  million shares of Class B common
                                  stock outstanding for the nine
                                  months ended September 30, 2017.
                                  However, approximately 83.7
                                  million shares of Class B common
                                  stock for the three months ended
                                  September 30, 2017 have been
                                  excluded in computing diluted net
                                  earnings per share because
                                  including them on an "if-
                                  converted" basis would have an
                                  anti-dilutive effect. The
                                  denominator also includes the
                                  dilutive effect of approximately
                                  0.6 million and 0.5 million shares
