FICO Announces Earnings for Third Quarter Fiscal 2013



Revenue of $184 million vs. $160 million in prior year

Earnings per Share of $0.54, including noncash tax charge of $0.07 per share

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $19.6 million, or $0.54 per share, versus $20.7 million, or $0.59 per share, reported in the prior year period. The current quarter earnings include a noncash tax charge of $2.5 million, or $0.07 per share, associated with establishing a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset. This valuation allowance was required due to recent tax law changes in a state in which the company conducts operations.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $29.3 million vs. $25.8 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $0.80 vs. $0.73 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $27.2 million vs. $16.0 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 2013 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $183.8 million for the quarter as compared to $160.5 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 15%.

"We saw continued strength in our Scores and Tools segments this quarter, fortifying the confidence we have in our overall strategic direction," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "Recurring revenues from our Applications segment were strong again this quarter, though we did experience some disappointing delays in applications license sales to North American banks. All in all, we remain confident about our prospects, and focused on executing against our plan."

Revenues for the third quarter fiscal 2013 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 $115.0 million in the third quarter compared to $98.3 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 17%. This was due to revenue associated with the acquisitions of Adeptra, Ltd. and CR Software.      
  • 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 $47.2 million in the third quarter compared to $41.9 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 12%The B2B revenue increased 10% and the B2C revenue increased 21% from the prior year quarter.
  • Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $21.6 million in the third quarter compared to $20.2 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 7%, primarily due to increased revenue from professional services.

Outlook
The company is updating the previously issued guidance for fiscal 2013 to include the impact of the noncash tax adjustment recorded in the current quarter and potential continued delays in license revenue, as follows:

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.
