Dun & Bradstreet Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results; Reaffirms Guidance and Declares Quarterly Dividend

SHORT HILLS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Dun & Bradstreet DNB, the global leader in commercial information growing the most valuable relationships in business through data, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

"As I laid out at our Investor Day in mid-June, we continue to feel great about the market opportunity in front of us and how we are positioning ourselves to win. We are seeing positive traction in key areas of our strategy and are confident in our outlook for the year," said Bob Carrigan, President & CEO of Dun & Bradstreet. "The launch of our Emerging Businesses Division is off to a good start as is the integration of NetProspex, and we remain focused on execution to deliver long-term sustainable growth."

Second Quarter 2015 Highlights

  • As Adjusted revenue up 6% year over year, before the effect of foreign exchange (up 4% after the effect of foreign exchange); and GAAP revenue up 5% year over year, before the effect of foreign exchange (up 2% after the effect of foreign exchange);
  • As Adjusted operating income of $80.2 million, down 10% year over year due to the timing of investment spending; GAAP operating income of $58.2 million, down 30% year over year; GAAP results were negatively impacted by the timing of investment spending and acquisition-related expenses;
  • As Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.25, down 11% from $1.41 in the second quarter 2014; GAAP diluted earnings per share were a loss of $0.22, down from $1.35 in the second quarter 2014. GAAP results include a loss of $38.2 million related to the divestiture of Australia and New Zealand in addition to acquisition-related expenses; and
  • Free cash flow for the first six months of 2015 was $183.0 million, compared to $197.9 million for the first six months of 2014; net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2015 was $212.4 million, compared to $216.2 million for the first six months of 2014.

Financial results for the second quarter of 2015 and all prior periods for our divested Australia and New Zealand operations are now classified as Discontinued Operations in our GAAP results and are excluded from our As Adjusted results.

See attached Schedules 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 for additional detail.

Schedule 6 provides a reconciliation to GAAP, as well as the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate the business.

Deferred revenue for the Company as of June 30, 2015 was $599.7 million, up 7%; Americas was $507.0 million, up 12% and Non-Americas was $92.7 million, down 16%. After adjusting for the effect of foreign exchange and the acquisitions of NetProspex and Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., total Company deferred revenue was down 1% compared to last year, Americas was slightly up, and Non-Americas was down 7%. Committed sales through Alliance partners would have added one point of growth to total Company deferred revenue and two points to Americas deferred revenue.

Second Quarter 2015 Segment Results

Americas

  • As Adjusted revenue of $309.1 million, up 8% year over year before the effect of foreign exchange (up 7% after the effect of foreign exchange); GAAP revenue of $302.9 million, up 6% year over year before the effect of foreign exchange (up 5% after the effect of foreign exchange);
  • As Adjusted operating income of $77.7 million, down 5% year over year, as expected due to the timing of investments. On a GAAP basis, operating income was $67.2 million, down 17% year over year. GAAP results were negatively impacted by the timing of investments and acquisition-related expenses.

Non-Americas

  • As Adjusted and GAAP revenue were $72.5 million, flat year over year before the effect of foreign exchange (down 10% after the effect of the foreign exchange);
  • As Adjusted and GAAP operating income were $18.7 million. As Adjusted operating income was down 17% year over year, GAAP operating income was down 16% year over year.

See Attached Schedules 3, 4, 6 and 7 for additional detail.

Declares Quarterly Dividend

Dun & Bradstreet announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4625 per share. This quarterly cash dividend is payable on September 11, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 26, 2015.

Full Year 2015 Guidance

Dun & Bradstreet today reaffirmed its financial guidance for the full year 2015:

  • As Adjusted revenue growth 6% to 9%, before the effect of foreign exchange;
  • As Adjusted operating income of flat to 4%;
  • As Adjusted diluted EPS of (3%) to 1%; and
  • Free cash flow of $255 million to $285 million, which excludes the impact of legacy tax matters and any potential regulatory fines associated with our China operations.

Dun & Bradstreet does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis because Dun & Bradstreet is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future movement of foreign exchange rates or the future impact of: (i) non-core gains and charges, (ii) acquisition and divestiture-related fees; and (iii) purchase accounting fair value adjustments to deferred revenue. These items are uncertain and will depend on several factors, including industry conditions, and could be material to Dun & Bradstreet's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Effective January 1, 2015, in addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company evaluates performance and reports on a total company basis and on a business segment level basis its results (such as revenue, operating income, operating income growth, operating margin, net income, tax rate and diluted earnings per share) on an "As Adjusted" basis. The term "As Adjusted" results refers to the following: the elimination of the effect on revenue due to purchase accounting fair value adjustments to deferred revenue; restructuring charges; other non-core gains and charges (such as gains and losses on sales of businesses, impairment charges and tax settlements); acquisition and divestiture-related fees (such as costs for bankers, legal fees, diligence costs and retention payments); and acquisition-related intangible amortization expense. A recurring component of our "As Adjusted" basis is our restructuring charges, which we believe do not reflect our underlying business performance. Such charges are variable from period to period based upon actions identified and taken during each period. Additionally, our "As Adjusted" results exclude the results of Discontinued Operations. Management reviews operating results on an "As Adjusted" basis on a monthly basis and establishes internal budgets and forecasts based upon such measures. Management further establishes annual and long-term compensation such as salaries, target cash bonuses and target equity compensation amounts based on performance on an "As Adjusted" basis and a significant percentage weight is placed upon performance on an "As Adjusted" basis in determining whether performance objectives have been achieved. Management believes that by reflecting these adjustments to our GAAP financial measures, business leaders are provided incentives to recommend and execute actions rather than being influenced by the potential impact one of these items can have in a particular period on their compensation. The Company adjusts for these items 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. We also monitor free cash flow as a measure of our business. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and additions to computer software and other intangibles. Free cash flow measures our available cash flow for potential debt repayment, acquisitions, stock repurchases, dividend payments and additions to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We believe free cash flow to be relevant and useful to our investors as this measure is used by our management in evaluating the funding available after supporting our ongoing business operations and our portfolio of product investments.

We believe that the use of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to our investors. Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader's understanding of our underlying financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as an alternative measure of revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income, diluted EPS or net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and related notes are presented and defined in Schedule 6 attached to this press release.

Second Quarter 2015 Teleconference

As previously announced, Dun & Bradstreet will review its second quarter 2015 results in a conference call with the investment community on Thursday, August 6, 2015, at 8 a.m. ET. Live audio, as well as a replay of the conference call, and the Company's 2015 Investor Day presentation, will be accessible on Dun & Bradstreet's Investor Relations Web site at http://investor.dnb.com.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we are identifying the following important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us; any such statement is qualified by reference to the following cautionary factors: (i) reliance on third parties to support critical components of our business model; (ii) our ability to protect our information technology infrastructure against cyber attack and unauthorized access; (iii) risks associated with potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws; (iv) customer demand for our products; (v) the successful implementation of our business strategy; (vi) the integrity and security of our global database and data centers; (vii) our ability to maintain the integrity of our brand and reputation and to successfully achieve our plan to modernize our Dun & Bradstreet brand; (viii) our ability to renew large contracts and the related revenue recognition and timing thereof; (ix) the impact of macro-economic challenges on our customers and vendors; (x) future laws or regulations with respect to the collection, compilation, storage, use and/or publication of information and adverse publicity or litigation concerning the commercial use of such information; (xi) our ability to acquire and successfully integrate other businesses, products and technologies; (xii) adherence by third-party members of our D&B Worldwide Network, or other third parties who license and sell under the Dun & Bradstreet name, to our quality standards and to the renewal of their agreements with Dun & Bradstreet; (xiii) the effects of foreign and evolving economies, exchange rate fluctuations, legislative or regulatory requirements and the implementation or modification of fees or taxes to collect, compile, store, use, transfer cross-border and/or publish data; and (xiv) the other factors described under the headings "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis," "Legal Proceedings" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company's other reports or documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.

 

* Effective January 1, 2015, in addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company evaluates performance and reports on a total company basis and on a business segment level basis its results (such as revenue, operating income, operating income growth, operating margin, net income, tax rate and diluted earnings per share) on an "As Adjusted" basis. The term "As Adjusted" results refers to the following: the elimination of the effect on revenue due to purchase accounting fair value adjustments to deferred revenue; restructuring charges; other non-core gains and charges (such as gains and losses on sales of businesses, impairment charges and tax settlements); acquisition and divestiture-related fees (such as costs for bankers, legal fees, diligence costs and retention payments); and acquisition-related intangible amortization expense. A recurring component of our "As Adjusted" basis is our restructuring charges, which we believe do not reflect our underlying business performance. Such charges are variable from period to period based upon actions identified and taken during each period. Additionally, our "As Adjusted" results exclude the results of Discontinued Operations. Management reviews operating results on an "As Adjusted" basis on a monthly basis and establishes internal budgets and forecasts based upon such measures. Management further establishes annual and long-term compensation such as salaries, target cash bonuses and target equity compensation amounts based on performance on an "As Adjusted" basis and a significant percentage weight is placed upon performance on an "As Adjusted" basis in determining whether performance objectives have been achieved. Management believes that by reflecting these adjustments to our GAAP financial measures, business leaders are provided incentives to recommend and execute actions rather than being influenced by the potential impact one of these items can have in a particular period on their compensation. The Company adjusts for these items 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. We believe that the use of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to our investors.
