FICO Announces Earnings of $3.95 per Share for Second Quarter Fiscal 2022

Revenue of $357 million vs. $331 million in prior year

BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2022--FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 GAAP Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $104.4 million, or $3.95 per share, versus $68.7 million, or $2.33 per share, in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $122.6 million versus $153.5 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $123.7 million versus $90.2 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $4.68 versus $3.06 in the prior year period. **** Free cash flow was $120.2 million for the current quarter versus $152.3 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 2022 GAAP Revenue

The company reported revenues of $357.2 million for the quarter as compared to $331.4 million reported in the prior year period.

“We continue to deliver strong results in an uncertain economic environment,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “We’re delivering strong top-line growth, and our focus on efficiency has enabled us to deliver expanded margins.”


Revenues for the second 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 $183.7 million in the second quarter, compared to $168.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of 9%. B2B revenue increased 5%, driven largely by unit price increases and increases in unsecured Originations volumes, partially offset by decreases in Mortgage Origination volumes. B2C revenue increased 18% from the prior year period due to growth at myFICO.com, as well as through our partners.
  • Softwarerevenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, as well as associated professional services, were $173.5 million in the second quarter, compared to $162.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 7%, primarily attributable to an increase in point-in-time recognition due to a large license deal, partially offset by the sale of the Debt Collections and Recovery product line in June 2021.
    • Year-over-year, Software Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was up 11%, consisting of 60% platform ARR growth and 4% non-platform ARR growth. Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 110% in the second quarter, with platform solutions at 141% and non-platform solutions at 103%.

Outlook

The company is updating its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2022:

Previous Fiscal 2022 Guidance Updated Fiscal 2022 Guidance
Revenues $1.35 billion $1.355 billion
GAAP Net Income $318 million $350 million
GAAP EPS $11.29 $13.11
Non GAAP Net Income $397 million $429 million
Non GAAP EPS $14.12 $16.08

The Non-GAAP financial measures are described in the financial table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Guidance.”

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<br> 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<br> 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<br> 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<br> 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.<br> 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<br> 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<br> transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operating decision-making.
