THE DUN & BRADSTREET CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Tabular dollar amounts in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 --
Basis of Presentation
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, which appear in The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation’s (“D&B,” the "Company," “we” or “our”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The unaudited consolidated results for interim periods do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements and are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any subsequent period. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included.
All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Simultaneously with the sale of the domestic portion of our Japanese operations to Tokyo Shoko Research Ltd. (“TSR”), we entered into a ten-year commercial arrangement to provide TSR with global data for its Japanese competitors and became the exclusive distributor of TSR data to the Worldwide Network. We continue to manage our business through three segments. However, as of January 1, 2012, our Asia Pacific Worldwide Network has been moved out of our Europe and Other International Markets segment and into our Asia Pacific segment.

On January 1, 2012, we began managing our business through the following three segments (all prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the new segment structure):

North America (which consists of our operations in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada);

Asia Pacific (which primarily consists of our operations in Australia, China, India and Asia Pacific Worldwide Network); and

Europe and Other International Markets (which primarily consists of our operations in the United Kingdom (“UK”), Netherlands, Belgium, Latin America and European Worldwide Network).
Prior to January 1, 2012, we managed and reported our business globally through the following three segments:

North America (which consisted of our operations in the U.S. and Canada);

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The amendments in this ASU allow a company to qualitatively assess whether indefinite-lived intangible assets are more likely than not impaired. If the indefinite-lived intangible assets are considered impaired, a company is required to perform the quantitative test under ASC 350-30, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill.” The authoritative guidance does not amend the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. In addition, the authoritative guidance does not amend the requirement to test these assets for impairment between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances. The authoritative guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. We do not expect that the adoption of this authoritative guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210); Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU require a company to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. A company should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We do not expect that the adoption of this authoritative guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring Charge
Financial Flexibility is an ongoing process by which we seek to reallocate our spending from low-growth or low-value activities to other activities that will create greater value for shareholders through enhanced revenue growth, improved profitability and/or quality improvements. With most initiatives, we have incurred restructuring charges (which generally consist of employee severance and termination costs, contract terminations, and/or costs to terminate lease obligations less assumed sublease income). These charges are incurred as a result of eliminating, consolidating, standardizing and/or automating our business functions.
Restructuring charges have been recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 712-10, “Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits,” or “ASC 712-10” and/or ASC 420-10, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations,” or “ASC 420-10,” as appropriate.
We record severance costs provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement once they are both probable and estimable in accordance with the provisions of ASC 712-10.
We account for one-time termination benefits, contract terminations, and/or costs to terminate lease obligations less assumed sublease income in accordance with ASC 420-10, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with restructuring activities. Under ASC 420-10, we establish a liability for cost associated with an exit or disposal activity, including severance and lease termination obligations, and other related costs, when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date that we commit to an exit plan. We reassess the expected cost to complete the exit or disposal activities at the end of each reporting period and adjust our remaining estimated liabilities, if necessary.
The determination of when we accrue for severance costs and which standard applies depends on whether the termination benefits are provided under an ongoing arrangement as described in ASC 712-10 or under a one-time benefit arrangement as defined by ASC 420-10. Inherent in the estimation of the costs related to the restructurings are assessments related to the most likely expected outcome of the significant actions to accomplish the exit activities. In determining the charges related to the restructurings, we had to make estimates related to the expenses associated with the restructurings. These estimates may vary significantly from actual costs depending, in part, upon factors that may be beyond our control. We will continue to review the status of our restructuring obligations on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes to these obligations in current operations based on management’s most current estimates.

Fixed-Rate Notes
In November 2010, we issued senior notes with a face value of $300 million that mature on November 15, 2015 (“the 2015 notes”), bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 2.875%, payable semi-annually. The proceeds were used in December 2010 to repay our then outstanding $300 million senior notes, bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.50%, which had a maturity date of March 15, 2011 (the “2011 notes”). In connection with the redemption of the 2011 notes, we recorded a premium payment of $3.7 million to “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2010. The 2015 notes of $299.3 million, net of $0.7 million remaining discount, are recorded as “Long-Term Debt” in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012.
The 2015 notes were issued at a discount of $1.1 million, and, in connection with the issuance, we incurred underwriting and other fees of approximately $2.5 million. These costs are being amortized over the life of the 2015 notes. The 2015 notes contain certain covenants that limit our ability to create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell assets to another entity. The 2015 notes do not contain any financial covenants.
In November and December 2010, we entered into interest rate derivative transactions with aggregate notional amounts of $125 million. The objective of these hedges was to offset the change in fair value of the fixed rate 2015 notes attributable to changes in LIBOR. These transactions have been accounted for as fair value hedges. We have recognized the gain or loss on the derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, in “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
In March 2012, in connection with our objective to manage exposure to interest rate changes and our policy to manage our fixed and floating-rate debt mix, these interest rate derivatives were terminated. This resulted in a gain of $0.3 million and the receipt of $5.0 million in cash on March 12, 2012, the swap termination settlement date. The gain of $0.3 million was recorded in “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $5.0 million cash received is reflected as an offset to interest paid in the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Approximately $0.8 million of derivative gains offset by a $0.5 million loss on the fair value adjustment related to the hedged debt were recorded through the date of termination in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $4.9 million adjustment in the carrying amount of the hedged debt at the date of termination will be amortized as an offset to “Interest Expense” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income over the remaining term of the 2015 notes. Approximately $0.7 million of amortization was recorded from the swap termination date through September 30, 2012, resulting in a balance of $4.2 million in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012.

(Tabular dollar amounts in millions, except per share data)


In April 2008, we issued senior notes with a face value of $400 million that mature on April 1, 2013 (the “2013 notes”), bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.00%, payable semi-annually. The interest rate applicable to the 2013 notes is subject to adjustment if our debt rating is decreased four levels below the Standard & Poor’s and Fitch A- credit ratings that we held on the date of issuance. After a rate adjustment, if our debt ratings are subsequently upgraded, the adjustment(s) would reverse. The maximum adjustment is 2.00% above the initial interest rate and the rate cannot adjust below 6.00%. As of September 30, 2012, no such adjustments to the interest rate have been made. Proceeds from this issuance were used to repay indebtedness under our revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 2012, the 2013 notes had been reclassified from long-term debt to short-term debt because they will expire in less than one year. As such, the 2013 notes are recorded as “Short-Term Debt” in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012.

The 2013 notes were issued at face value and, in connection with the issuance, we incurred underwriting and other fees of $3.0 million. These costs are being amortized over the life of the 2013 notes. The 2013 notes contain certain covenants that limit our ability to create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell assets to another entity. The 2013 notes do not contain any financial covenants.

On January 30, 2008, we entered into interest rate derivative transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $400 million. The objective of these hedges was to mitigate the variability of future cash flows from market changes in Treasury rates in anticipation of the issuance of the 2013 notes. These transactions were accounted for as cash flow hedges and, as such, changes in fair value of the hedges that took place through the date of the issuance of the 2013 notes were recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). In connection with the issuance of the 2013 notes, these interest rate derivative transactions were terminated, resulting in a loss and a payment of $8.5 million on March 28, 2008, the date of termination. The payments are recorded in AOCI and are being amortized over the life of the 2013 notes.

Credit Facility

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had an $800 million, five-year bank revolving credit facility, which expires in October 2016. Borrowings under the $800 million revolving credit facility are available at prevailing short-term interest rates. The facility requires the maintenance of interest coverage and total debt to Earnings Before Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios, which are defined in the credit agreement. We were in compliance with these revolving credit facility covenants at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $320.1 million and $259.4 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the $800 million revolving credit facility with weighted average interest rates of 1.39% and 1.58%, respectively. We borrowed under this facility from time-to-time during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to supplement the timing of receipts in order to fund our working capital and share repurchases. The $800 million revolving credit facility also supports our commercial paper program which was increased from $300 million to $800 million during July 2012 (limited by borrowed amounts outstanding under the $800 million revolving credit facility). Under this program, we may issue from time-to-time unsecured promissory notes in the commercial paper market in private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a cumulative face amount not to exceed $800 million outstanding at any one time and with maturities not exceeding 364 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding commercial paper effectively reduces the amount available for borrowing under the $800 million revolving credit facility. We did not borrow under our commercial paper program during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Other
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, certain of our international operations had uncommitted lines of credit of $2.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit at September 30, 2012 and $0.2 million of borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit at December 31, 2011. These arrangements have no material facility fees and no compensating balance requirements.
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we were contingently liable under open standby letters of credit and bank guarantees issued by our banks in favor of third parties and parent guarantees in favor of certain of our banks totaling $12.3 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

In March 2012, we terminated our interest rate derivative transactions resulting in the receipt of $5.0 million in cash on the date of termination. The $5.0 million cash received is reflected as an offset to interest paid in the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows. Interest paid for all outstanding debt totaled $0.9 million and $13.3 million during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Interest paid for all outstanding debt totaled $0.6 million and $17.3 million during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
Note 5 --
Earnings Per Share
In accordance with the authoritative guidance in ASC 260-10, we are required to assess if any of our share-based payment transactions are deemed participating securities prior to vesting and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation when computing Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method requires earnings to be allocated between common shareholders and holders of participating securities. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered to be a separate class of common stock and should be included in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Based on a review of our stock-based awards, we have determined that only our restricted stock awards are deemed participating securities. The weighted average restricted shares outstanding were 8,050 shares and 55,718 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The weighted average restricted shares outstanding were 15,543 shares and 74,908 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Our options generally expire ten years from the grant date.

In 2000, as part of a spin-off transaction under which Moody’s Corporation (“Moody’s”) and D&B became independent of one another, Moody’s and D&B entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (“TAA”). Under the TAA, Moody’s and D&B agreed that Moody’s would be entitled to deduct the compensation expense associated with the exercise of Moody’s stock options (including Moody’s stock options exercised by D&B employees) and D&B would be entitled to deduct the compensation expense associated with the exercise of D&B stock options (including D&B stock options exercised by employees of Moody’s). Put simply, the tax deduction would go to the company that granted the stock options, rather than to the employer of the individual exercising the stock options. In 2002 and 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued rulings that clarified that, under the circumstances applicable to Moody’s and D&B, the compensation expense deduction belongs to the employer of the option grantee and not to the issuer of the option (e.g., D&B would be entitled to deduct the compensation expense associated with D&B employees exercising Moody’s options and Moody’s would be entitled to deduct the compensation expense associated with Moody’s employees exercising D&B options). We have filed tax returns for 2001 through 2011 consistent with the IRS rulings. We may be required to reimburse Moody’s for the loss of compensation expense deductions relating to tax years 2008 to 2010 of approximately $1.6 million in the aggregate for such years. This liability was reduced from $20.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2012 due to expiration of the statute of limitations. In 2005 and 2006, we paid Moody’s approximately $30.1 million in the aggregate, which represented the incremental tax benefits realized by D&B for tax years 2003-2005 from using the filing method consistent with the IRS rulings. In February 2011, we paid Moody’s an additional sum of approximately $2.5 million, for tax years 2003-2005. While not material, we may also be required to pay, in the future, amounts in addition to the approximately $1.6 million referenced above based upon interpretations by the parties of the TAA and the IRS rulings.

Note 7 --
Contingencies
We are involved in tax and legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business for which we believe that we have adequate reserves, and such reserves are not material to our consolidated financial statements. We record a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. For such matters where management believes a liability is not probable but is reasonably possible, a liability is not recorded; instead, an estimate of loss or range of loss, if material individually or in the aggregate, is disclosed if reasonably estimable, or a statement will be made that an estimate of loss cannot be made. Once we have disclosed a matter that we believe is or could be material to us, we continue to report on such matter until there is finality of outcome or until we determine that disclosure is no longer warranted. Further, we believe our estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of established reserves, for our legal proceedings was not material at September 30, 2012.
China Operations
On March 18, 2012, we announced that we had temporarily suspended our Shanghai Roadway D&B Marketing Services Co Ltd. (“Roadway”) operations in China, pending an investigation into allegations that its data collection practices may violate local Chinese consumer data privacy laws. Thereafter, the Company decided to permanently cease the operations of Roadway. In addition, we have been reviewing certain allegations that we may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and certain other laws in our China operations. As previously reported, we have voluntarily contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice to advise both agencies of our investigation. Our investigation remains ongoing and is being conducted at the direction of the Audit Committee.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Roadway business had $5.4 million of revenue and $14.5 million of operating loss. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we have incurred $11.0 million of legal fees and other corporate shut-down costs and $1.8 million in local shut-down costs, as well as, an impairment charge of $12.9 million related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, prepaid costs and software for Roadway, an operation in our Greater China reporting unit. D&B acquired Roadway’s operations in 2009, and for 2011 Roadway accounted for approximately $22 million in revenue and $2 million in operating income.
On September 28, 2012, Roadway was charged in a Bill of Prosecution, along with five current or former employees, by the Shanghai District Prosecutor with illegally obtaining private information of Chinese citizens. A trial date has not yet been set. We have been advised that a conviction of Roadway and the five individuals is likely, and that a criminal fine will be imposed on Roadway. We are unable to provide a reasonable estimate of the fine at this time.
As our investigation is ongoing, we cannot yet predict the ultimate outcome of the matter or its impact, if any, on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. No amount in respect of any potential liability in this matter, including for penalties, fines or other sanctions, has been accrued in our consolidated financial statements.

Nicholas Martin v. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. and Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc., No. 12 CV 215 (USDC N.D. IL.)
On January 11, 2012, Nicholas Martin filed suit against Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. and Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc. ("Convergys") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges that Defendants violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) (47 U.S.C. §227) because Convergys placed a telephone call to Plaintiff’s cell phone using an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") and because Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. authorized the telephone call. The TCPA generally prohibits the use of an ATDS to place a call to a cell phone for nonemergency purposes and without the prior express consent of the called party. The TCPA provides for statutory damages of $500 per violation,which may be trebled to $1,500 per violation at the discretion of the court if the plantiff proves the defendant willfully violated the Act. Plaintiff sought to bring this action as a class action on behalf of all persons who Defendant(s) called on their cell phone using an ATDS, where the Defendant(s) obtained the cell phone number from some source other than directly from the called party, during the period January 11, 2010 to the present. Both Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. and Convergys answered the complaint on March 2, 2012. Discovery has commenced and at this point the court has not set any discovery cutoff dates. On August 21, 2012, the Court granted Plantiff's motion for class certification, without prejudice, and gave the Defendants until December 19, 2012 to seek a ruling that decertifies the class. On September 4, 2012, the Defendants each filed petitions seeking leave to appeal this ruling to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Discovery is still ongoing. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. No amount in respect of any potential judgment in this matter has been accrued in our consolidated financial statements.
Other Matters
In addition, in the normal course of business, and including without limitation, our merger and acquisition activities and financing transactions, D&B indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with D&B, with respect to certain matters. D&B has agreed to hold the other parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or arising out of other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. D&B has also entered into indemnity obligations with its officers and directors.
Additionally, in certain circumstances, D&B issues guarantee letters on behalf of our wholly-owned subsidiaries for specific situations. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by D&B under these agreements have not had a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 --
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our effective tax rate was 5.6% as compared to 29.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The 2012 effective tax rate was positively impacted by the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions primarily due to the effective settlement of an audit for the tax years 2005 and 2006.The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was positively impacted by a tax benefit on a loss on the tax basis of a legal entity and negatively impacted by the tax impact of a loss on an investment. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, there are no changes in our effective tax rate that either have had or that we expect may reasonably have a material impact on our operations or future performance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our effective tax rate was 15.7% as compared to 29.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was positively impacted by the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the effective settlement of an audit for the tax years 2005 and 2006, by a tax benefit on a loss on the tax basis of a legal entity and by tax benefits from the divestiture of the domestic portion of our Japan operations and negatively impacted by an impairment related to permanently ceasing operations of Roadway in China. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was positively impacted by the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of a statute of limitations for the tax year 2004 and by a tax benefit on a loss on the tax basis of a legal entity and negatively impacted by a reduction of our deferred tax assets resulting from an enacted change to the state of New Jersey's tax law during the second quarter of 2011 and the tax impact of a loss on an investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there are no changes in our effective tax rate that either have had or that we expect may reasonably have a material impact on our operations or future performance.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012 was $100.0 million. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $93.9 million, net of tax benefits. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we decreased our unrecognized tax benefits by $24.9 million, net of increases. The decrease is primarily related to the effective settlement of an audit for the tax years 2005 and 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we decreased our unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $20.1 million, net of increases, primarily related to the effective settlement of an audit for the tax years 2005 and 2006. We anticipate that it is reasonably possible total unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $59 million within the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation.
We recognize accrued interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total amount of interest expense recognized in the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 was $1.2 million and $2.5 million, net of tax benefits, respectively, as compared to $0.9 million and $2.6 million, net of tax benefits in the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The total amount of accrued interest as of September 30, 2012 was $8.2 million, net of tax benefits, as compared to $11.0 million, net of tax benefits, as of September 30, 2011.
We or one of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal, and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, we are no longer subject to examination by the IRS for years prior to 2007. In state and local jurisdictions, with a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008. In foreign jurisdictions, with a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007.
We have resolved the 2005 and 2006 tax years with IRS Appeals regarding the proposed Domestic Production Deduction Adjustments. As a result of our agreement, there were no changes in our tax liability for 2005 and 2006. The IRS is examining our 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax years. We expect the examination will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.

We previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 that we expected to contribute $26.0 million to our U.S. Non-Qualified plans and non-U.S. pension plans and $6.0 million to our postretirement benefit plan for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we have made contributions to our Non-Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans of $17.9 million and postretirement benefit plan of $2.4 million, respectively.
We incurred a settlement charge of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, related to our Canadian plan. This charge was associated with our Financial Flexibility initiatives.

Segment Information
The operating segments reported below are our segments for which separate financial information is available and upon which operating results are evaluated by management on a timely basis to assess performance and to allocate resources.
Simultaneously with the sale of the domestic portion of our Japanese operations to TSR, we entered into a ten-year commercial arrangement to provide TSR with global data for its Japanese competitors and became the exclusive distributor of TSR data to the Worldwide Network. We continue to manage our business through three segments. However, as of January 1, 2012, our Asia Pacific Worldwide Network has been moved out of our Europe and Other International Markets segment and into our Asia Pacific segment.
On January 1, 2012, we began managing our business through the following three segments (all prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the new segment structure):

North America (which consists of our operations in the U.S. and Canada);

Asia Pacific (which primarily consists of our operations in Australia, China, India and Asia Pacific Worldwide Network); and

Europe and Other International Markets (which primarily consists of our operations in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Latin America and European Worldwide Network).
Prior to January 1, 2012, we managed and reported our business globally through the following three segments:

North America (which consisted of our operations in the U.S. and Canada);

Asia Pacific (which primarily consisted of our operations in Australia, Japan, China and India); and

Europe and Other International Markets (which primarily consisted of our operations in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Latin America and the Worldwide Network).

Our customer solution sets are D&B Risk Management Solutions™, D&B Sales & Marketing Solutions™ and D&B Internet Solutions™. Inter-segment sales are immaterial, and no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue. For management reporting purposes, we evaluate business segment performance before restructuring charges, intercompany transactions and our Strategic Technology Investment, which we refer to as “MaxCV” for Maximizing Customer Value, because these charges are not a component of our ongoing income or expenses and may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the results of our ongoing underlying business.

The increase in goodwill in the Asia Pacific operating segment of $232.6 million at September 31, 2012 from $222.0 million at December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the positive impact of foreign currency translation. The decrease in goodwill in the Europe and Other International Markets operating segment to $108.4 million at September 30, 2012 from $110.4 million at December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

We employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currencies. We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge short-term foreign currency denominated loans, investments and certain third-party and intercompany transactions. We may also use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries and foreign exchange option contracts to reduce the volatility that fluctuating foreign exchange rates may have on our international earnings streams. In addition, we may use interest rate derivatives to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure on our outstanding debt or in anticipation of a future debt issuance, as discussed under “Interest Rate Risk Management” below.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. If a hedging instrument ceases to qualify as a hedge in accordance with hedge accounting guidelines, any subsequent gains and losses are recognized currently in income. Collateral is generally not required for these types of instruments.
By their nature, all such instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of non-performance by counterparties. However, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was no significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance of the counterparties to these financial instruments. We control our exposure to credit risk through monitoring procedures.
Our trade receivables do not represent a significant concentration of credit risk at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, because we sell to a large number of customers in different geographical locations.

Interest Rate Risk Management
Our objective in managing exposure to interest rates is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on our earnings, cash flows and financial position, and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we maintain a policy that floating-rate debt be managed within a minimum and maximum range of our total debt exposure. To manage our exposure and limit volatility, we may use fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt and/or interest rate swaps. We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position.
Fair Value Hedges
For interest rate derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, we assess quarterly whether the interest rate swaps are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged debt. Changes in fair values of interest rate swap agreements that are designated fair-value hedges are recognized in earnings as an adjustment of “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The effectiveness of the hedge is monitored on an ongoing basis for hedge accounting purposes, and if the hedge is considered ineffective, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
In November 2010, we issued senior notes with a face value of $300 million that mature on November 15, 2015 (“the 2015 notes”). In November and December 2010, we entered into interest rate derivative transactions with aggregate notional amounts of $125 million. The objective of these hedges was to offset the change in fair value of the fixed rate 2015 notes attributable to changes in LIBOR. These transactions have been accounted for as fair value hedges. We have recognized the gain or loss on the derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, in “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
In March 2012, in connection with our objective to manage exposure to interest rate changes and our policy to manage our fixed and floating-rate debt mix, these interest rate derivatives were terminated. This resulted in a gain of $0.3 million and the receipt of $5.0 million in cash on March 12, 2012, the swap termination settlement date. The gain of $0.3 million was recorded in “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $5.0 million cash received is reflected as an offset to interest paid in the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Approximately $0.8 million of derivative gains offset by a $0.5 million loss on the fair value adjustment related to the hedged debt were recorded through the date of termination in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $4.9 million adjustment in the carrying amount of the hedged debt at the date of termination will be amortized as an offset to “Interest Expense” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income over the remaining term of the 2015 notes. Approximately $0.7 million of amortization was recorded from the swap termination date through September 30, 2012, resulting in a balance of $4.2 million in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012.
Approximately $4.0 million of derivative gains offset by a $4.1 million loss on the fair value adjustment related to the hedged debt were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Approximately $5.8 million of derivative gains offset by a $5.9 million loss on the fair value adjustment related to the hedged debt were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Cash Flow Hedges
For interest rate derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the periodic hedge remeasurement gains or losses on the derivative are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
In January 2009 and December 2008, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $25 million and $75 million, respectively, and designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges against variability in cash flows related to our then existing $650 million revolving credit facility. These transactions were accounted for as cash flow hedges and, as such, changes in the fair value of the hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income. In connection with the termination of our former $650 million revolving credit facility, these interest rate derivative transactions were terminated, resulting in an acceleration of payments otherwise due under the instruments of $0.3 million on October 25, 2011, the $650 million revolving credit facility termination date, and were recorded in “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income at December 31, 2011.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Our objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce the volatility caused by foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of our international operations. We follow a policy of hedging balance sheet positions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency applicable to each of our various subsidiaries. In addition, we are subject to foreign exchange risk associated with our international earnings and net investments in our foreign subsidiaries. We use short-term, foreign exchange forward and option contracts to execute our hedging strategies. Typically, these contracts have maturities of twelve months or less. These contracts are denominated primarily in the British pound sterling, the Euro and Canadian dollar. The gains and losses on the forward contracts associated with the balance sheet positions are recorded in “Other Income (Expense)—Net” in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income and are essentially offset by the gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency transactions.
As in prior years, we have hedged substantially all balance sheet positions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency applicable to each of our various subsidiaries with short-term, foreign exchange forward contracts. In addition, we may use foreign exchange option contracts to hedge certain foreign earnings streams and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain net investment positions. The underlying transactions and the corresponding foreign exchange forward and option contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each quarter and the fair value impacts are reflected within our consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts were $277.4 million and $379.0 million, respectively.
