Revenue of $190 million vs. $184 million in prior year
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014.
First Quarter Fiscal 2015 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $14.4 million, or $0.43 per share, versus $17.0 million, or $0.47 per share, reported in the prior year period.
First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $22.6 million vs. $26.2 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $0.68 vs. $0.73 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was negative $4.9 million vs. $25.5 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.
First Quarter Fiscal 2015 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $189.5 million for the quarter as compared to $184.3 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 3%.
"We continue to drive growth in our Applications and Tools segments," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "And we are well-positioned in our Scores segments to deliver on new opportunities. At the same time, we continue to invest in our strategic SaaS initiatives, and are confident that we can deliver long-term growth."
Revenues for the first quarter fiscal 2015 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 $115.5 million in the first quarter compared to $111.9 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 3%. This was due to increased license and services revenue in Collections & Recovery Solutions and in Originations Solutions.
- 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 $43.9 million in the first quarter compared to $47.2 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 7%. The B2B revenue decreased 8% primarily due to a Global FICO Score license sale in the prior year, while the B2C revenue decreased 5% from the prior year quarter.
- Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $30.1 million in the first quarter compared to $25.2 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 19%, due primarily to a true-up associated with an underpayment of royalties for Blaze Advisor over a multi-year period.

| 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. |
