FICO Announces Earnings of $0.59 per Share for First Quarter Fiscal 2016



Revenue of $200 million vs. $190 million in prior year

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015.

First Quarter Fiscal 2016 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $19.2 million, or $0.59 per share, versus $14.4 million, or $0.43 per share, reported in the prior year period.

First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $32.1 million vs. $22.6 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $0.99 vs. $0.68 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $35.6 million vs. negative $4.9 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.

First Quarter Fiscal 2016 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $200.1 million for the quarter as compared to $189.5 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 6%.

"We're off to a good start in 2016, as we continue to deliver both top- and bottom-line growth," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "Our Scores segment is performing particularly well, as we're seeing increased demand on both the B2B and B2C markets."

Revenues for the first quarter fiscal 2016 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 $120.1 million in the first quarter compared to $115.5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 4%. This was due primarily to revenues from our compliance solutions attributed to the TONBELLER acquisition. 
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and the business-to-consumer (B2C) services, were $56.0 million in the first quarter, up 27% from the prior year quarter.  The B2B revenue increased 8% while the B2C revenue increased 88% from the prior year quarter.
  • Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $23.9 million in the first quarter compared to $30.1 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 21%, due primarily to a one-time favorable settlement in the prior year related to our Blaze product for under-reported royalties.

Outlook
The company is reiterating its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2016, which is as follows:


Fiscal 2016 Guidance

Revenue

$860 million - $870 million

GAAP Net Income

$94 million - $98 million

GAAP Earnings Per Share

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.
