FICO Announces Earnings of $3.61 per Share for Third Quarter Fiscal 2022

Revenue of $349 million vs. $338 million in prior year

FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 GAAP Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $93.5 million, or $3.61 per share, versus $151.2 million, or $5.18 per share, in the prior year period. The prior year results included a pre-tax gain of $92.8 million on the sale of the Debt Collections and Recovery product line, or $2.52 per share after tax.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $117.1 million versus $100.6 million in the prior year period.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $115.7 million, or $4.47 per share, versus $98.8 million, or $3.38 per share, in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $115.2 million for the quarter versus $99.0 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 2022 GAAP Revenue

The company reported revenues of $349.0 million for the quarter as compared to $338.2 million reported in the prior year period.

“We delivered excellent results again this quarter, demonstrating the resilience of our business,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “We remain well positioned for continued growth as we finish our fiscal year.”

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 across the company’s two operating segments were as follows:

  • Scores revenues, which include the company’s business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions, and business-to-consumer (B2C) scoring solutions, were $179.4 million in the third quarter, compared to $172.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 4%. B2B revenue increased 3%, driven largely by unit price increases and increases in unsecured credit Originations volumes, partially offset by decreases in Mortgage Origination volumes. B2C revenue increased 7% from the prior year period primarily due to growth in our partner channel.
  • Software revenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, as well as associated professional services, were $169.6 million in the third quarter, compared to $166.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 2%, primarily attributable to an increase in our platform software revenue, partially offset by the sale of the Debt Collections and Recovery product line in June 2021, and reduced Professional Services revenue.
    • Year-over-year, Software Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was up 9%, consisting of 60% platform ARR growth and 1% non-platform ARR growth. Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 108% in the third quarter, with platform solutions at 135% and non-platform solutions at 101%.

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.
