According to Moody’s published report, the upgraded ratings and stable outlook reflects Moody’s view that in the next 12-18 months, there will be continued moderate improvement in Dun & Bradstreet’s operating performance fueled in part by healthy product demand, stronger pricing, as well as the Company’s expansion of its ESG-related product offerings.

“The company’s credit profile is supported by its very long operating history, strong brand recognition within its target markets, and established long-term relationships with a large number of diverse customers. Additionally, the company’s credit quality is bolstered by a largely subscription-oriented sales model that provides a predictable revenue base while ongoing cost reduction initiatives drive gradual expansion of DNB’s strong margins and improved annual free cash flow generation approaching 10% of total debt over the next 12-18 months,” according to Moody’s.
