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

D&B DNB, the world's leading source of commercial information and insight on businesses, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

“We started the year in the right direction with first quarter results in line with our expectations. We've also started investing in our strategy to deliver indispensable content to customers through modern channels, to put us on a path towards long term sustainable growth,” stated D&B's President and CEO, Bob Carrigan. “Recent acquisitions and the addition of a new alliance partner represent important steps towards achieving our goals. I am pleased with our early progress and our whole team is committed and energized to make D&B stronger than ever.”

Operating income was $78.0 million, down 9%, year over year.

Asia Pacific

Total revenue was $41.7 million, up 10%, year over year, before the effect of foreign exchange (up 1% after the effect of foreign exchange).
Operating income before non-core gains and charges was $6.2 million, compared to $2.5 million from the prior year similar period. On a GAAP basis, operating income was $6.2 million, compared to $2.4 million from the prior year similar period.

Europe & Other International Markets

Core revenue was $61.1 million, up 6%, year over year, before the effect of foreign exchange (up 9% after the effect of foreign exchange).
Total revenue was $61.2 million, up 5%, year over year, before the effect of foreign exchange (up 9% after the effect of foreign exchange).
Operating income was $16.7 million, up 19%, year over year.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow for the first three months of 2014 was $148.5 million; Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2014 was $160.5 million.

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

Schedule 5 provides reconciliation to GAAP, as well as the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate the business.

Share Repurchases

We repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares for $85.0 million under the Company's discretionary repurchase program and approximately 0.1 million shares for $13.0 million to offset the dilutive effect of shares issued under employee benefit plans.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2014 for the total Company was down 1%, year over year, at $628.2 million; North America was down 3%, year over year, and total International was up 8%, year over year.

Full Year 2014 Guidance

D&B today reaffirmed its financial guidance for the full year 2014:

Core revenue growth of flat to up 3%, before the effect of foreign exchange;
Operating income decline of 5% to 9%, before non-core gains and charges;
Diluted EPS decline of 1% to 5%, before non-core gains and charges; and
Free cash flow of $250 million to $280 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

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, 2013, filed February 28, 2014 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.

First Quarter 2014 Teleconference

As previously announced, D&B will review its first quarter financial results in a conference call with the investment community on Wednesday, April 30, 2014, at 8 a.m. ET. Live audio, as well as a replay of the conference call, will be accessible on D&B's Investor Relations Web site at http://investor.dnb.com.

Total North America Risk Management Solutions remains unchanged. The reclassifications primarily relate to certain adjustments for large customers who have bundled contracts which were previously captured in “Projects and Other Risk Management Solutions” which are now allocated down to the specific product level. This change was done to more precisely reflect all revenue adjustments at the product level.

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)”
