FICO Announces Earnings of $2.33 per Share for Second Quarter Fiscal 2021

Revenue of $331 million vs. $308 million in prior year

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 GAAP ResultsNet income for the quarter totaled $68.7 million, or $2.33 per share, versus $58.3 million, or $1.94 per share, in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $153.5 million versus $61.5 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Non-GAAP ResultsNon-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $90.2 million versus $64.3 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $3.06 versus $2.14 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $152.3 million versus $54.8 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 2021 GAAP RevenueThe company reported revenues of $331.4 million for the quarter as compared to $308.0 million reported in the prior year period.

"We had another great quarter, delivering strong revenues and record cash flows," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "And we are achieving this as we reduce our reliance on up-front license revenue."

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 across each of the company's three operating segments were as follows:

  • Applications revenues, which include the company's decision management applications and associated professional services, were $129.5 million in the second quarter, compared to $140.3 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 8%, due primarily to decreased services and up-front license revenues.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $168.7 million in the second quarter, compared to $129.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 31%. B2B revenue increased 25%, driven largely by unit price increases and higher origination volumes. B2C revenue increased 47% from the prior year period due to higher volumes at myFICO.com, as well as through our partners.
  • Decision Management Software revenues, which include Blaze Advisor^®^, Xpress Optimization, Decision Management Platform and related professional services, were $33.2 million in the second quarter compared to $38.5 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 14%, due primarily to decreased up-front license and services revenues.

Company to Divest Debt Collection andRecovery BusinessThe company also announced today the signing of a definitive agreement to sell its Debt Collection and Recovery products to Constellation's Jonas Software operating group, a leading provider of enterprise management software solutions. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to mutually agreed closing conditions. FICO Debt Collection and Recovery products represent less than 10 percent of total company revenues. FICO expects the divestiture to have an immaterial impact on future operating profits. FICO intends to include the sale proceeds in a $200 million Accelerated Share Repurchase program following the close of the transaction.

Company to Host Conference CallThe company will host a webcast today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) to report its second quarter fiscal 2021 results and provide various strategic and operational updates. The call can be accessed at FICO's web site at www.fico.com/investors. A replay of the webcast will be available at our Past Events page through May 5, 2022.

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<br>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<br>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<br>decision-making.
