FICO Announces Earnings of $1.94 per Share for Second Quarter Fiscal 2020

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO FICO, a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 GAAP Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $58.3 million, or $1.94 per share, versus $33.4 million, or $1.10 per share, in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $61.5 million versus $47.8 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $64.3 million versus $47.3 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $2.14 versus $1.56 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $54.8 million versus $43.6 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 2020 GAAP Revenue

The company reported revenues of $308.0 million for the quarter as compared to $278.2 million reported in the prior year period. 

"As the world struggles with the pandemic and its economic impact, we are dedicated to standing by our customers to support their decisioning during this critical time," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "While we face near-term uncertainty, I'm pleased that our second quarter results were strong and that we are well positioned to manage the challenges in front of us."

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 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 $140.3 million in the second quarter, compared to $141.8 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 1%, due primarily to decreased license and services revenues in Collections and Recovery Solutions.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $129.2 million in the second quarter, compared to $104.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 24%. B2B revenue increased 27% and B2C revenue increased 15% from the prior year period.
  • Decision Management Software revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization, Decision Management Platform and related professional services, were $38.5 million in the second quarter compared to $32.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 20%, due primarily to increased license and SaaS subscription revenues.

Outlook 

Due to the lack of visibility related to the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery, the Company has withdrawn financial guidance at this time.

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.
