D&B Announces Final Second Quarter 2008 Results, Unchanged From Previously Announced Preliminary Results; Declares Dividend

-- Diluted EPS Before Non-Core Gains and Charges Up 20%

-- GAAP Diluted EPS Up 3%; Due Primarily to the Resolution of a
Legacy Tax Matter With the IRS in the Prior Year Second
Quarter

-- Core and Total Revenue Up 10% Before the Effect of Foreign
Exchange; Up 12% After the Effect of Foreign Exchange

-- Declares $0.30 Per Share Quarterly Cash Dividend
SHORT HILLS, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
D&B (NYSE: DNB), the leading provider of global business
information, tools and commercial insight, today reported final
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. These results are
unchanged from the preliminary second quarter 2008 results the Company
announced on July 14, 2008, in conjunction with its Investor Day
event.

Second Quarter 2008 Results

Diluted earnings per share before non-core gains and charges for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008, were $1.15, up 20 percent from $0.96
in the prior year similar period. These results were primarily driven
by operating income growth and additionally benefitted from the timing
of tax benefits and share repurchases, partially offset by interest
costs. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, were $1.51, up 3% from $1.46 in the prior year
similar period, due primarily to the resolution of a legacy tax matter
with the IRS in the 2007 second quarter, which resulted in a $0.52 per
diluted share, net non-core gain.

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 2008 was $427.7
million, up 10 percent from the prior year similar period before the
effect of foreign exchange (up 12 percent after the effect of foreign
exchange).

Core and total revenue results for the second quarter of 2008
reflect the following by solution set:

-- Risk Management Solutions revenue of $281.0 million, up 7
percent before the effect of foreign exchange (up 9 percent
after the effect of foreign exchange); Supply Management
Solutions contributed approximately 1 point of Risk Management
revenue growth during the second quarter of 2008, before the
effect of foreign exchange;

-- Sales & Marketing Solutions revenue of $115.6 million, up 17
percent before the effect of foreign exchange (up 18 percent
after the effect of foreign exchange); and

-- Internet Solutions revenue of $31.1 million, up 18 percent
both before and after the effect of foreign exchange.

See attached Schedules 4 and 5 for additional detail.

Operating income before non-core gains and charges for the second
quarter of 2008 was $107.2 million, up 13 percent from the prior year
similar period. On a GAAP basis, operating income for the quarter was
$106.0 million, up 18 percent from the prior year similar period.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company also incurred
transition costs of $3.9 million compared with $3.1 million incurred
in the prior year similar period.

Net income before non-core gains and charges for the second
quarter of 2008 was $64.0 million, up 11 percent from the prior year
similar period. On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was $84.2
million, down 4 percent from the prior year similar period.

See attached Schedule 3 for additional detail.

Free cash flow for the first six months of 2008, excluding the
impact of legacy tax matters, was $211.6 million, up 5 percent from
the first six months of 2007. The Company defines free cash flow as
net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures
and additions to computer software and other intangibles. Net cash
provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2008,
excluding the impact of legacy tax matters, was $245.1 million, up 4
percent from the first six months of 2007. On a GAAP basis, net cash
provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2008 was
$262.3 million, compared to $234.9 million in the prior year similar
period.

See attached Schedule 4 for additional detail.

Share repurchases during the second quarter of 2008 under the
Company's discretionary repurchase program totaled $104.9 million,
while repurchases made to offset the dilutive effect of shares issued
under employee benefit plans totaled an additional $20.0 million.

The Company ended the quarter with $245.5 million of cash and cash
equivalents.

Second Quarter 2008 Segment Results

United States

Core and total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $319.3
million, up 10 percent from the prior year similar period. These
results were primarily driven by continued strength in our core U.S.
operation and additionally benefitted from some early renewals in
Sales & Marketing as well as strong sales execution.

U.S. core and total revenue results for the second quarter of 2008
reflect the following:

-- Risk Management Solutions revenue of $196.1 million, up 5
percent; Supply Management Solutions contributed approximately
1 point of Risk Management revenue growth during the second
quarter of 2008;

-- Sales & Marketing Solutions revenue of $93.8 million, up 17
percent; and

-- Internet Solutions revenue of $29.4 million, up 20 percent.

See attached Schedules 4 and 5 for additional detail.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $105.3
million, up 10 percent from the prior year similar period. The
increase was primarily due to improved revenue in the U.S. segment,
partially offset by higher selling expenses and higher costs
associated with acquisitions and investments to enhance the Company's
strategic capabilities.

International

Core and total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $108.4
million, up 12 percent before the effect of foreign exchange (up 22
percent after the effect of foreign exchange) from the prior year
similar period.

International core and total revenue results for the second
quarter of 2008 reflect the following:

-- Risk Management Solutions revenue of $84.9 million, up 12
percent before the effect of foreign exchange (up 22 percent
after the effect of foreign exchange); Supply Management
Solutions did not have a meaningful contribution to Risk
Management revenue growth during the second quarter of 2008;

-- Sales & Marketing Solutions revenue of $21.8 million, up 13
percent before the effect of foreign exchange (up 23 percent
after the effect of foreign exchange); and

-- Internet Solutions revenue of $1.7 million, down 6 percent
before the effect of foreign exchange (flat after the effect
of foreign exchange).

See attached Schedules 4 and 5 for additional detail.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $25.5 million,
up 18 percent from the prior year similar period. The increase was
primarily due to improved revenue, lower costs as a result of our
reengineering efforts and the net impact of foreign exchange.

Non-Core Gains and Charges

During the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded:

-- Net pre-tax, non-core charges of $8.6 million and $3.7
million, respectively; and

-- Net after-tax, non-core gains of $20.2 million and $29.9
million, respectively.

See attached Schedule 3 for additional explanations and details of
these charges.

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.

Full Year 2008 Outlook Confirmed

D&B confirmed the following full year financial guidance for 2008:

-- Core revenue growth of 8 percent to 10 percent, before the
effect of foreign exchange;

-- Operating income growth of 11 percent to 13 percent, or $501
million to $510 million, before non-core gains and charges;

-- Diluted EPS growth of 14 percent to 16 percent, or $5.19 to
$5.29, before non-core gains and charges;

-- Free cash flow of $337 million to $352 million, excluding the
impact of legacy tax matters; and

-- Tax rate of approximately 37 percent to 37.5 percent, before
non-core gains and charges.

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. 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, 2007, filed February 25, 2008 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 3
attached to this press release.

Dividend Declared

D&B announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share. The quarterly cash
dividend is payable on September 15, 2008, to shareholders of record
at the close of business on August 29, 2008.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This press release, including, in particular, the section titled
"Full Year 2008 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.

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 third party members in its Worldwide Network, and
third parties with which it has outsourcing arrangements.

-- Demand for D&B's products is subject to intense competition,
changes in customer preferences and economic conditions which
impact customer behavior.

-- 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's ability to maintain the integrity of its brand and
reputation, which it believes are key assets and competitive
advantages.

-- 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.

-- D&B's ability to introduce new solutions or services in a
seamless way and without disruption to existing solutions such
as DNBi.

-- 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.

-- The continued adherence by third party members of our D&B
Worldwide Network to our quality standards, our brand and
communication standards and to the terms and conditions of our
commercial services arrangements.

-- D&B's future success requires that it attract and retain
qualified personnel, including members of its sales force, in
regions throughout the world.

-- 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 D&B 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 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 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 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 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 projection for free cash flow 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. Copies of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are available on its Web site

The following defines the non-GAAP measures used to evaluate
performance:

* For 2008, our non-GAAP measures reflect results on a "Continuing
Operations" basis.

* 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 "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."

This financial information should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes of The Dun &
Bradstreet Corporation contained in filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
