Briefing

  • Completed the sale of Dun & Bradstreet to Clearlake Capital for $630 million in proceeds.
  • Repurchased $323 million of stock in 2025, representing 28% of shares outstanding.
  • Strategic pivot to concentrate primarily on sports and entertainment-related investments.

Forward guidance

Cannae is focused on monetizing non-strategic assets to redeploy capital into higher-return sports and entertainment opportunities while maintaining a consistent dividend.

Tailwinds

  • Accelerating portfolio concentration in high-growth sports and entertainment sectors.
  • Significant liquidity following the $630 million Dun & Bradstreet sale.
  • Strong talent development pipeline at AFC Bournemouth driving record transfer fees.
  • Expansion of stadium capacity at Vitality Stadium to increase matchday revenue.
  • Improved leverage ratios at portfolio companies like Watkins (reduced to 2.5x).

Headwinds

  • Current stock price does not reflect management's view of intrinsic asset value.
  • Macroeconomic headwinds impacting retail inventory levels at Watkins.
  • Ongoing struggles at O'Charley's Restaurant + Bar leading to store closures.
  • Revenue declines at Alight due to lower project revenue and commercial activity.
  • Exposure to volatile player trading profits in the football club segment.
