Dun & Bradstreet Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNB), a leading global provider of business decisioning data and analytics, today announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. A reconciliation of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in this press release, including the accompanying tables. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

  • GAAP Revenue and Adjusted Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 were both $595.0 million. GAAP Revenue and Adjusted Revenue decreased 0.6% and increased 2.8% on a constant currency basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, organic revenue was $614.2 million, an increase of 2.2% on a constant currency basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $22.8 million, or $0.05 diluted earnings per share, compared to net loss of $11.6 million or diluted loss per share of $0.03 for the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income was $139.2 million or adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.32, compared to adjusted net income of $141.9 million or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $250.4 million, an increase of 3.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 42.1%.

“2022 was another year of solid progress for us financially, operationally and as an organization as a whole. Organic revenues on a constant currency basis accelerated to 3.5 percent growth over the prior year and we delivered just under forty percent EBITDA margins in what was an increasingly challenging macro environment,” said Anthony Jabbour, Dun & Bradstreet Chief Executive Officer. “Our business continues to transform and progress toward the achievement of our multi-year strategy. We believe that our unique mix of high-quality revenues, blue chip client base, increasing innovation, strong profitability and disciplined capital allocation differentiate us through our ability to continue delivering in modulating economic conditions.”

  • GAAP Revenue and Adjusted Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 were both $2,224.6 million. GAAP Revenue increased 2.7% and 5.8% on a constant currency basis compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted Revenue increased 2.5% and 5.6% on a constant currency basis compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
  • Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, organic revenue was $2,242.6 million, an increase of 3.5% on a constant currency basis compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
  • GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $2.3 million, or diluted loss per share of $0.01, compared to net loss of $71.7 million or diluted loss per share of $0.17 for the prior year. Adjusted net income was $472.4 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.10, compared to adjusted net income of $471.1 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.10 for the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $863.5 million, an increase of 1.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, and adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 38.8%.

For 2023, Adjusted diluted earnings per share now excludes the impact of non-operational/non-cash pension income. For comparative purposes, starting with 2023, we have revised the prior year Adjusted diluted earnings per share to exclude the impact of non-operational/non-cash pension income. See page 16 for the revised 2020-2022 results.

The foregoing forward-looking statements reflect Dun & Bradstreet’s expectations as of today's date and Revenue assumes constant foreign currency rates. Dun & Bradstreet does not present a qualitative reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty, without unreasonable efforts, in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for this reconciliation. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially. Dun & Bradstreet does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement, other than in publicly available statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting GAAP results, we evaluate performance and report our results on the non-GAAP financial measures discussed below. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and rating agencies regarding our results, operating trends and performance between periods. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted revenue, organic revenue, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (‘‘adjusted EBITDA’’), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net earnings per diluted share. Adjusted results are non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact due to certain acquisition and divestiture related revenue and expenses, such as costs for banker fees, legal fees, due diligence, retention payments and contingent consideration adjustments, restructuring charges, equity-based compensation, and other non-core gains and charges that are not in the normal course of our business, such as costs associated with early debt redemptions, gains and losses on sales of businesses, impairment charges, the effect of significant changes in tax laws and material tax and legal settlements. We exclude amortization of recognized intangible assets resulting from the application of purchase accounting because it is non-cash and not indicative of our ongoing and underlying operating performance. Recognized intangible assets arise from acquisitions, primarily the Take-Private Transaction. We believe that recognized intangible assets by their nature are fundamentally different from other depreciating assets that are replaced on a predictable operating cycle. Unlike other depreciating assets, such as developed and purchased software licenses or property and equipment, there is no replacement cost once these recognized intangible assets expire and the assets are not replaced. Additionally, our costs to operate, maintain and extend the life of acquired intangible assets and purchased intellectual property are reflected in our operating costs as personnel, data fee, facilities, overhead and similar items. Management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of recognized intangible assets will recur in future periods until such assets have been fully amortized. In addition, we isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue growth because we believe it is useful for investors to be able to compare revenue from one period to another, both after and before the effects of foreign exchange rate changes. The change in revenue performance attributable to foreign currency rates is determined by converting both our prior and current periods’ foreign currency revenue by a constant rate. As a result, we monitor our adjusted revenue growth both after and before the effects of foreign exchange rate changes. We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures provide management and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance and comparability of our operating results from period to period. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP or adjusted financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax.

Adjusted Revenue

We define adjusted revenue as revenue to include a revenue adjustment due to the timing of the completion of the Bisnode acquisition. Management uses this measure to evaluate ongoing performance of the business period over period. In addition, we isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue growth because we believe it is useful for investors to be able to compare revenue from one period to another, both after and before the effects of foreign exchange rate changes. The change in revenue performance attributable to foreign currency rates is determined by converting both our prior and current periods’ foreign currency revenue by a constant rate.

Organic Revenue

We define organic revenue as adjusted revenue before the effect of foreign exchange excluding revenue from acquired businesses for the first twelve months. In addition, organic revenue excludes current and prior year revenue associated with divested businesses. We believe the organic measure provides investors and analysts with useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s underlying revenue trends by excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Revenue from acquired businesses is primarily related to the acquisitions of Eyeota Holdings Pte Ltd and NetWise Data, LLC in the fourth quarter of 2021. Revenue from divested businesses is related to the business-to-consumer business in Germany that was sold during the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. excluding the following items:

  • depreciation and amortization;
  • interest expense and income;
  • income tax benefit or provision;
  • other non-operating expenses or income;
  • equity in net income of affiliates;
  • net income attributable to non-controlling interests;
  • equity-based compensation;
  • restructuring charges;
  • merger, acquisition and divestiture-related operating costs;
  • transition costs primarily consisting of non-recurring expenses associated with transformational and integration activities, as well as incentive expenses associated with our synergy program;
  • other adjustments primarily related to non-cash charges and gains, including impairment charges and adjustments as the result of the application of purchase accounting mainly related to the deferred commission cost amortization associated with the Take-Private Transaction and revenue adjustment associated with the Bisnode acquisition. In addition, other adjustments also include non-recurring charges such as legal expense associated with significant legal and regulatory matters.

We calculate adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing adjusted EBITDA by adjusted revenue.

Adjusted Net Income

We define adjusted net income as net income (loss) attributable to Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. adjusted for the following items:

  • incremental amortization resulting from the application of purchase accounting. We exclude amortization of recognized intangible assets resulting from the application of purchase accounting because it is non-cash and is not indicative of our ongoing and underlying operating performance. The Company believes that recognized intangible assets by their nature are fundamentally different from other depreciating assets that are replaced on a predictable operating cycle. Unlike other depreciating assets, such as developed and purchased software licenses or property and equipment, there is no replacement cost once these recognized intangible assets expire and the assets are not replaced. Additionally, the Company’s costs to operate, maintain and extend the life of acquired intangible assets and purchased intellectual property are reflected in the Company’s operating costs as personnel, data fee, facilities, overhead and similar items;
  • equity-based compensation;
  • restructuring charges;
  • merger, acquisition and divestiture-related operating costs;
  • transition costs primarily consisting of non-recurring expenses associated with transformational and integration activities, as well as incentive expenses associated with our synergy program;
  • merger, acquisition and divestiture-related non-operating costs;
  • debt refinancing and extinguishment costs;
  • non-recurring pension charges;
  • other adjustments primarily related to non-cash charges and gains, including impairment charges and adjustments as the result of the application of purchase accounting mainly related to the deferred commission cost amortization associated with the Take-Private Transaction and revenue adjustment associated with the Bisnode acquisition. In addition, other adjustments also include non-recurring charges such as legal expense associated with significant legal and regulatory matters.
  • tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments; and
  • other tax effect adjustments related to the tax impact of statutory tax rate changes on deferred taxes, the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and other discrete items.

Adjusted Net Earnings Per Diluted Share

We calculate adjusted net earnings per diluted share by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of common shares potentially issuable in connection with awards outstanding under our stock incentive plan.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in this release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements are based on Dun & Bradstreet’s management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them.
