Earnings (Loss) Per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

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 March 31,
	2021		2020
Net income (loss) attributable to Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc.	$	(25.0)	$	41.9

Weighted average number of shares outstanding-basic	428.5		314.5
Weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted	428.5		314.5

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock:
Basic	$	(0.06)	$	0.13
Diluted	$	(0.06)	$	0.13
