Short Hills, NJ – August 6, 2007 — D&B (NYSE: DNB), the leading provider of global business information, tools and commercial insight, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
“Our second quarter results reflect continued financial momentum, driven by our US business, which will continue to serve as the primary engine for total company revenue and margin growth for the balance of the year,” said Steve Alesio, chairman and CEO of D&B. “We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our financial commitments for 2007, and we feel good about our prospects for the future as we maintain our focus on driving total shareholder return.”
Second Quarter 2007 Results
Diluted earnings per share before non-core gains and charges for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, were $0.98, up 17 percent from $0.84 in the prior year similar period. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share were $1.46, up 85 percent from $0.79 in the prior year similar period, due primarily to the resolution
of our remaining legacy tax matter with the IRS for the tax years 1997 – 2002. As previously announced, this resulted in a $31.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, net non-core gain during the second quarter of 2007.
See attached Schedule 3 for a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share before non-core gains and charges to earnings per share on a GAAP basis, as well as the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate the business.
Core and total revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $396.8 million, up 6 percent from the prior year similar period, of which 1 point was due to acquisition growth, before the effect of foreign exchange (up 8 percent after the effect of foreign exchange).

| • | Risk Management Solutions revenue of $262.7 million, up 3 percent before the effect of foreign exchange (up 6 percent after the effect of foreign exchange); |

The Company ended the quarter with $154.8 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Page 4 of 9
Operating incomefor the second quarter of 2007 was $24.9 million, up 5 percent from the prior year similar period. This increase was primarily driven by lower costs as a result of reengineering efforts.
Non-Core Gains and Charges
As previously announced, during the second quarter of 2007 the Company recorded a net non-core gain of $31.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, due primarily to the resolution of our remaining legacy tax matter with the IRS for the tax years 1997-2002. In addition, the Company recorded a net pre-tax, non-core charge of $4.9 million related to its financial flexibility initiatives and a net pre-tax, non-core gain of $0.8 million related to the sale of an investment in Australia.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a net pre-tax, non-core charge of $3.6 million primarily related to its financial flexibility initiatives.
See attached Schedule 3 for additional detail.
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 because they are not a component of its ongoing income or expenses and may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the results of its ongoing underlying business operations. For additional information, see the section titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Dividend Declared
D&B announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share. This quarterly cash dividend is payable on September 17, 2007, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2007.
Full Year 2007 Outlook Confirmed
The Company confirmed the following full year guidance for 2007:
| • | Core revenue growth of 6 percent to 8 percent, before the effect of foreign exchange, all of which will be organic; |
Page 5 of 9
| • | Operating income growth before non-core gains and charges of 8 percent to 10 percent; |
| • | Diluted EPS growth of 13 percent to 16 percent before non-core gains and charges; |
| • | Free cash flow of $310 million to $325 million. As a reminder, the Company’s free cash flow outlook excludes the impact of any payments made in connection with the Company’s legacy tax matters; and |
| • | Tax rate before non-core gains and charges of approximately 37 percent to 38 percent. |
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 and legacy tax matters, 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 reports non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and the schedules attached. D&B reports core revenue and core revenue growth before the effects of foreign exchange. Additionally, the Company reports organic core revenue growth and each of operating income, operating margin, net income, diluted earnings per share and tax rate (defined as Provision for Income Taxes divided by Income before Provision for Income Taxes) before non-core gains and charges, and free cash flow. 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, 2006, filed February 28, 2007 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. These measures are defined in Schedule 3 attached to this earnings release.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This press release, including, in particular, the section titled “Full-Year 2007 Outlook Confirmed,” 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.
Page 7 of 9
The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
| • | D&B relies significantly on third parties to support critical components of its business model in a continuous and high-quality manner, including third-party data providers, strategic partners in its Worldwide Network, and outsourcing partners. |
| • | Demand for D&B’s products is subject to intense competition, changes in customer preferences and, to a lesser extent, economic conditions which impact customer behavior. |
| • | The profitability of D&B’s International segment depends on its ability to identify and execute on various initiatives, such as the implementation of subscription plan pricing and successfully managing its Worldwide Network, and its 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. |
| • | D&B’s ability to renew large contracts, the related revenue recognition and the timing thereof may impact its results of operations from period to period. |
| • | D&B’s 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, and the implementation or modification of fees or taxes that we must pay to acquire, use, and/or redistribute data. In particular, D&B’s results have been, and may continue to be, significantly impacted by legislative changes affecting the fees charged by the Italian government to acquire and/or re-use data. |
| • | D&B’s solutions and brand image are dependent upon the integrity and security of its 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. |
| • | D&B is involved in various tax matters and legal proceedings, the outcomes of which are unknown and uncertain with respect to the impact on D&B’s cash flow and profitability. See the Company’s most recent Annual Report |
Page 8 of 9
on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and notes to the financial statements included therewith, for a more detailed description of these matters. |
| • | D&B’s ability to successfully implement its Blueprint for Growth Strategy requires that it successfully reduce its expense base through its Financial Flexibility initiatives, and reallocate certain of the expense-base reductions into initiatives that produce desired revenue growth. |
| • | D&B’s future success requires that it attract and retain qualified personnel in regions throughout the world. |
| • | D&B’s ability to repurchase shares is subject to market conditions, including trading volume in its stock, and its ability to repurchase shares in accordance with applicable securities laws. |
| • | D&B’s ability to acquire and successfully integrate other complementary businesses, products and technologies into its existing business, without significant disruption to its existing business or to its financial results. |
| • | D&B’s projection for free cash flow in 2007 is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue, its 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 it is involved, as referenced above and as more fully described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and notes to the financial statements included therewith. |
For a more detailed discussion of the trends, risks and uncertainties that may affect D&B’s operating and financial results and its ability to achieve the financial objectives discussed in this press release, readers should review the Company’s most recent filings with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

The following defines the non-GAAP measures used to evaluate performance:
*Total revenue excluding the revenue of divested 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 “revenue growth before the effects of foreign exchange.” We also separately 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.”
