D&B Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results and Reaffirms Full Year 2013 Guidance

Short Hills, NJ – November 4, 2013 - D&B (NYSE: DNB), the world's leading source of commercial information and insight on businesses, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights
Core and total revenue flat year over year, before the effect of foreign exchange (down 1% after the effect of foreign exchange);

Diluted EPS before non-core gains and charges up 14% year over year; GAAP diluted EPS up 6%;

Operating income before non-core gains and charges was flat year over year; GAAP operating income up 10%;

Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2013 was $263.0 million; Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2013 was $299.3 million; and

See attached Schedules 3, 4 and 5 for additional detail.
Schedule 5 provides a reconciliation to GAAP, as well as the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate the business.

Full Year 2013 Guidance

D&B today reaffirmed its financial guidance for the full year 2013:

Core revenue growth of 0% to 3%, before the effect of foreign exchange;
Operating income decline of 6% to 3%, before non-core gains and charges, including $25 million to $30 million in costs related to the deployment of the new data supply chain;
Diluted EPS growth of 8% to 11%, before non-core gains and charges; and
Free cash flow of $270 million to $300 million, which excludes the impact of legacy tax matters and any potential regulatory fines associated with our China operations.


D&B does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis because D&B is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future movement of foreign exchange rates or the future impact of non-core gains and charges, such as restructuring charges, legacy tax matters, and the Company’s ongoing China investigation, which are a component of the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-core gains and charges are uncertain and will depend on several factors, including industry conditions, and could be material to D&B's results computed in accordance with GAAP.


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

D&B's restructuring charges may be viewed as recurring as they are part of its Financial Flexibility initiatives. In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company reports results before restructuring charges and other non-core gains and charges, such as legal and other professional expenses associated with the ongoing China investigation, because they do not reflect the Company's underlying business performance and they may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the results of its ongoing business operations.

D&B reports non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and the schedules attached. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – How We Manage Our Business” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012, filed February 28, 2013 with the SEC, for a discussion of how the Company defines these measures, why it uses them and why it believes they provide useful information to investors. Additionally, these measures are defined in Schedule 5 attached to this press release.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This press release, including, in particular, the section titled "Full Year 2013 Guidance," contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of trends, risks and uncertainties, and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
We rely significantly on third parties to support critical components of our business model in a continuous and high quality manner, including third-party data providers, strategic third-party members in our D&B Worldwide Network, and third parties with whom we have significant outsourcing arrangements.
The effectiveness of our technology investments and our ability to maintain sufficient investment in a technology infrastructure that assists us in achieving our strategic goals.
Our ability to achieve our financial and operational expectations which are based upon the successful implementation of our business strategy for the next several years.
Risks associated with potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws, and any consequences of the investigations of our China operations.
Demand for our products is subject to intense competition, changes in customer preferences and economic conditions which impact customer behavior.
Our solutions and brand image are dependent upon the integrity and security of our global database and the continued availability thereof through the internet and by other means, as well as our ability to protect key assets, such as our data centers.
Our ability to secure our information technology infrastructure from cyber attack and unauthorized access.

Our ability to maintain the integrity of our brand and reputation, which we believe are key assets and competitive advantages.
Our ability to renew large contracts, including from various government institutions, the related revenue recognition and the timing thereof, a shift in product mix or a significant decrease in government spending, may impact our results of operations from period-to-period.
As a result of the macro-economic challenges currently affecting the global economy, our customers or vendors may experience problems with their earnings, cash flow or both. This may cause our customers to delay, cancel or significantly decrease their purchases from us and impact their ability to pay amounts owed to us. In addition, our vendors may substantially increase their prices without notice. Such behavior may materially, adversely affect our earnings and cash flow. In addition, if economic conditions in the United States, including any possible impact of efforts to balance government deficits, and/or other key markets deteriorate further or do not show improvement, we may experience material adverse impacts to our business, operating results and/or access to credit markets.
Our results are subject to the effects of foreign economies, exchange rate fluctuations, legislative or regulatory requirements, such as the adoption of new or changes in accounting policies and practices, including pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies, the implementation or modification of fees or taxes that we must pay to acquire, use and/or redistribute data, and the evolving standards of emerging markets in which we operate. Future laws or regulations with respect to the collection, compilation, use and/or publication of information and adverse publicity or litigation concerning the commercial use of such information, or changes in the rules governing the operation of the Internet, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Our ability to acquire and successfully integrate other complementary businesses, products and technologies into our existing business, without significant disruption to our existing business or to our financial results.
The continued adherence by third-party members of our D&B Worldwide Network, or other third parties who license and sell under the D&B name, to our quality standards, our brand and communication standards, and to the terms and conditions of our commercial services arrangements and the renewal by third-party members of the D&B Worldwide Network of their agreements with D&B.
The profitability of our international businesses depends on our ability to identify and execute on various initiatives, such as successfully managing our D&B Worldwide Network, enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets in non-U.S. legal systems, complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in all jurisdictions, and our ability to identify and contend with various challenges present in foreign markets, such as local competition and the availability of public records at no cost, or the adoption of new laws or regulations governing the collection, compilation, use and/or publication of information, particularly in emerging markets.
Our future success requires that we attract and retain qualified personnel, including members of our sales force and technology teams, in regions throughout the world.
Our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy requires that we successfully reduce our expense base through our Financial Flexibility initiatives and reallocate certain of the expense-base reductions into initiatives that produce revenue growth.
Our ability to fund our obligations under our retirement and post retirement pension plans which are subject to financial market risks.
We are involved in various legal proceedings, the outcomes of which are unknown and uncertain with respect to the impact on our cash flow and profitability.
Our ability to repurchase shares is subject to market conditions, including trading volume in our stock, and our ability to repurchase shares in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Our projection for free cash flow is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue, our collection processes, customer payment patterns, the timing and volume of stock option exercises and the amount and timing of payments related to the tax and other matters and legal proceedings in which we are involved.

N/M - Not Meaningful
 
The following defines the non-GAAP measures used to evaluate performance:
 
*Total revenue excluding the revenue of divested and shut-down businesses is referred to as “core revenue.” Core revenue includes the revenue from acquired businesses from the date of acquisition
*Core revenue growth, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, is referred to as “core revenue growth before the effects of foreign exchange.” We also separately, from time to time, analyze core revenue growth before the effects of foreign exchange among two components, “organic core revenue growth” and “core revenue growth from acquisitions”
*Results (such as operating income, operating income growth, operating margin, net income, tax rate and diluted earnings per share) exclude Restructuring Charges (whether recurring or non-recurring) and certain other items that we consider do not reflect our underlying business performance. We refer to these Restructuring Charges and other items as “non-core gains and (charges)”
* Net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and additions to computer software and other intangibles is referred to as “free cash flow”
