FICO Announces Earnings of $1.03 per Share for Second Quarter Fiscal 2018



Revenues of $258 million vs. $228 million in prior year

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $32.3 million, or $1.03 per share, versus $25.1 million, or $0.78 per share, reported in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $49.2 million versus $66.4 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $48.1 million vs. $34.0 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.54 vs. $1.05 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $42.2 million vs. $60.5 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.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2018 GAAP Revenues
The company reported revenues of $257.9 million for the quarter as compared to $228.4 million reported in the prior year period.

"We delivered record revenues in our second quarter, and strong growth in net income and EPS," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "We are pleased with our progress and are raising our full-year guidance."

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 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 $146.7 million in the second quarter, up 9% from the prior year, primarily due to increased transactional volumes of Originations Solutions and Customer Communication Services.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, as well as business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $87.9 million in the second quarter, compared to $65.4 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 34%. B2B revenue increased 47% and B2C revenue increased 13% from the prior year quarter.
  • Decision Management Software revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $23.3 million in the second quarter compared to $28.6 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 19%, due primarily to decreased up-front license sales.

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, excess tax benefit, 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.
