Revenue of $222 million vs. $190 million in prior year

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.

FICO Corporate logo

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 GAAP Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $36.6 million, or $1.10 per share, versus $28.6 million, or $0.79 per share, reported in the prior year period. The current quarter earnings include a noncash reduction to income tax expense of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share, associated with the resolution of a tax audit.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $44.2 million vs. $35.3 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.33 vs. $0.98 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $65.1 million vs. $31.5 million in the prior year period. The Non-GAAP financial measures are described in the financial table captioned "Non-GAAP Results" and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP results in the financial tables at the end of this release.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014 GAAP Revenue

The company reported revenues of $221.6 million for the quarter as compared to $190.3 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 16%.

"We had a very strong finish to 2014, with exceptional license sales and growth across our business," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "We continue to invest prudently in our strategic priorities, and are well positioned for 2015."

Revenues for the fourth quarter fiscal 2014 across each of the company's three operating segments were as follows:

  • Applications revenues, which include the company's preconfigured decision management applications and associated professional services, were $146.9 million in the fourth quarter compared to $119.2 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 23%. This was due to increased license and services revenue in Banking Fraud, an increase in license revenue in Originations Solutions, and an increase in services and transactional revenue in Customer Communication Solutions.     
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and the myFICO® business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $46.1 million in the fourth quarter, consistent with the prior year quarter.  The B2B revenue increased 1% while the B2C revenue decreased 4% from the prior year quarter.
  • Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $28.6 million in the fourth quarter compared to $25.0 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 14%, due primarily to increased license and services revenue of Xpress Optimization.

Outlook

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures


To supplement the consolidated GAAP financial statements, the company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the impact of amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and acquisition-related, and adjustment to tax valuation allowance items. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures and dividends paid.  The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. 


Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.  Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business results including significant non-cash expenses.  We believe management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.  These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results.  We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operating decision-making.
