Dun & Bradstreet to Divest Assets of German Unit

Business decisioning data and analytics provider Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. (DNB) has agreed to divest the assets of its business-to-customer (B2C) marketing solutions unit in Germany. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022.

The non-core German unit garnered about $7 million in revenue in 2021. DNB does not expect the transaction to have a significant impact on its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for 2022. Further, it will eliminate revenue from this unit for the current and previous year while reporting organic growth, effective from January 1.

Notably, Ricky Sandler’s Eminence Capital has a holding worth about $136 million in the stock.
