FICO Announces Earnings of $1.08 per Share for Third Quarter Fiscal 2016



Record revenue of $239 million vs. $209 million in prior year

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $35.0 million, or $1.08 per share, versus $19.9 million, or $0.62 per share, reported in the prior year period.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $46.8 million vs. $32.3 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.45 vs. $1.00 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $77.9 million vs. $34.5 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.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $238.8 million for the quarter as compared to $209.4 million reported in the prior year period.

"In our third fiscal quarter, we had a strong quarter across the board, with growth in all of our segments," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "The strategic initiatives we've been pursuing are continuing to bear fruit, and we're leveraging that into accelerated cash flow and earnings."

Revenues for the third quarter of 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 $141.6 million in the third quarter compared to $127.1 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 11%. This was due to increased license sales in Fraud Management Solutions, increased transactional volumes in Customer Communications Services, and increased license and services revenues in Origination Solutions compared to the prior year.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $61.1 million in the third quarter, compared to $55.8 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 10%. B2B revenue increased 11% and B2C revenue increased 7% from the prior year quarter.
  • Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $36.1 million in the third quarter compared to $26.5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 36%, due primarily to increased license sales of Blaze Advisor® and FICO® Decision Management Platform.

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.
