FICO Announces Earnings of $0.78 for Second Quarter Fiscal 2017
Revenue of $228 million vs. $207 million in prior year
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $25.1 million, or $0.78 per share, versus $23.1 million, or $0.72 per share, reported in the prior year period. The current quarter earnings include a reduction to income tax expense of $3.6 million or $0.11 per share, associated with the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09").
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $66.4 million versus $41.7 million in the prior year period.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $34.0 million vs. $35.1 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.05 vs. $1.09 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $60.5 million vs. $37.6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow for both periods reflects the impact of ASU 2016-09. These Non-GAAP financial measures are described in the financial table captioned "Non-GAAP Results" and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the financial tables at the end of this release.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $228.4 million for the quarter as compared to $206.7 million reported in the prior year period.
"We had another strong quarter across all lines of our business," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "We are increasingly confident in our ability to drive growth and execute against our strategy."
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 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 $134.3 million in the second quarter, compared with $121.9 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 10%. This was due to increased license sales in Fraud Management Solutions, increased transactional volumes in Customer Communications Services and Originations 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 $65.4 million in the second quarter, compared to $61.1 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 7%. B2B revenue increased 2% and B2C revenue increased 16% from the prior year quarter.
- Decision Management Software revenues, which include FICO® Blaze Advisor®, FICO® Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $28.6 million in the second quarter compared to $23.6 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 21%, due primarily to increased license revenues of Blaze Advisor, and increased services revenues from Decision Optimizer.
Outlook
The company is updating its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2017 as a result of the impact of ASU 2016-09 on the current quarter to approximately:
| Previous |
Quarter 2, |

|
| Revenue |

Fiscal 2017 guidance has been updated for the impact from ASU 2016-09 recorded in the current quarter. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on October 1, 2016, we no longer record excess tax benefits as an increase to additional paid-in capital, but record such excess tax benefits on a prospective basis as a reduction of income tax expense, which amounted to $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
The Non-GAAP financial measures are described in the financial table captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Guidance."

During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 which addresses, among other items, updates to the presentation of excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation. Excess tax benefits are no longer classified as a reduction of operating cash flows. We have adopted changes to our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on a retrospective basis. The impact to net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $14.0 million. |

| 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. |
