Earnings (Loss) Per Share

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2024

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

In periods when we report net income, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock incentive awards. For periods when we report a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share, as the impact of our outstanding stock incentive awards is considered to be antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income (loss) attributable to Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc.	$	3.2	$	4.4	$	(36.4)	$	(48.7)

Weighted average number of shares outstanding-basic	432,411,418		430,816,432		432,239,481		430,295,432
Weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted (1)	435,614,879		432,224,821		432,239,481		430,295,432

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock attributable to Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc.:
Basic	$	0.01	$	0.01	$	(0.08)	$	(0.11)
Diluted	$	0.01	$	0.01	$	(0.08)	$	(0.11)

(1)The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, excludes the effect of 10.9 million and 11.0 million, respectively, of potentially issuable common shares that are anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per share computation. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, excludes the effect of 11.7 million and 11.9 million, respectively, of potentially issuable common shares that are anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per share computation.
