FICO Announces Earnings of $0.37 per Share for First Quarter 2010

Bookings for first quarter of $60 million, up 14 percent from prior year

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 27, 2010--FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009.

First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $17.7 million, or $0.37 per share. This compares with prior-year period net income of $12.1 million, or $0.25 per share, a figure that was reduced by $0.12 per share due to restructuring costs.

“We continue to see signs of improvement in the marketplace, including a stabilization of our recurring revenue and continued strength in bookings,” said Mark Greene, chief executive officer. “These conditions reinforce our confidence that we’ve got the right strategy to put the company on the path to growth.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Revenue

The company reported first quarter revenues of $151.5 million in fiscal 2010 versus $163.5 million reported in the prior year period. The prior year period included $5.4 million in revenue associated with the divested telecom product lines.

Effective October 1, 2009, the company implemented an organizational restructuring that consolidated the operating segment structure from four segments to three, in which the myFICO® business-to-consumer (B2C) service is now a component of the Scores segment and the Professional Services segment has been combined with the applicable segment to which the services relate. Fiscal 2009 revenues have been restated to reflect the new business structure.


Revenues for first quarter fiscal 2010 across each of the company’s three operating segments were as follows:

Bookings

Bookings for the first quarter were $59.9 million compared to $52.5 million in the same period last year. The company defines a “new booking” as estimated future contractual revenues, including agreements with perpetual, multi-year and annual terms. Management regards new bookings as one indicator of future revenues, but they are not comparable to, nor should they be substituted for, an analysis of the company’s revenues.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents, and investments were $382.5 million at December 31, 2009, as compared to $390.3 million at September 30, 2009. Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2009, include $31.3 million of cash provided by operations, $33.4 million of cash used to repurchase common stock, $4.5 million related to purchase of property and equipment and $0.9 million of dividends paid.

Outlook

The company reiterates the previously issued guidance of year-over-year GAAP earnings per share growth by a high single-digit percentage in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.

Company to Host Conference Call

The company will host a webcast today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (4:00 p.m. Central Time/2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) to report its first quarter fiscal 2010 results and provide various strategic and operational updates. The call can be accessed at FICO's Web site at www.FICO.com (follow the instructions on the Investor Relations page). A replay of the webcast will be available through February 27, 2010.
