FICO Announces Earnings of $2.90 per Share for First Quarter Fiscal 2021



Revenue of $312 million vs. $299 million in prior year

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $86.5 million, or $2.90 per share, versus $54.9 million, or $1.82 per share, in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $77.9 million versus $60.4 million in the prior year period.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $81.6 million versus $54.2 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $2.74 versus $1.80 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $74.9 million versus $53.9 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 2021 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $312.4 million for the quarter as compared to $298.5 million reported in the prior year period.

"We are off to a good start in the new year," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "We are delivering strong earnings growth as we continue the strategic transition to our SaaS platform."

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 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 $135.4 million in the first quarter, compared to $152.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 11%, due primarily to decreased license revenues in our Falcon Fraud products.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $144.7 million in the first quarter, compared to $115.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 26%. B2B revenue increased 20%, driven largely by higher mortgage origination volumes and unit price increases. B2C revenue increased 40% from the prior year period due to higher volumes at myFICO.com, as well as through our partners.
  • Decision Management Software revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization, Decision Management Platform and related professional services, were $32.4 million in the first quarter compared to $31.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 4%, due primarily to an increases in SaaS subscription revenue, partially offset by a decline in up-front license revenues.

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.
