FICO Announces Earnings for Third Quarter Fiscal 2011

Earnings per share of $0.58 from revenues of $151 million

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 3, 2011--FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $23.2 million, or $0.58 per share. This compares with prior-year period net income of $17.9 million, or $0.40 per share.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Revenue

The company reported quarterly revenues of $150.7 million versus $155.3 million reported in the prior year period.

“Results this quarter were mixed. Revenue was disappointing, as several significant transactions pushed into Q4. Our vigilant management of expenses allowed us to nonetheless post good net income and earnings results,” said Mark Greene, chief executive officer. “We are now focused on converting the healthy pipeline of opportunities currently in view into signed deals this quarter, to meet our full-year FY11 top- and bottom-line guidance.”

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 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 $92.1 million in the third quarter compared to $91.4 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 1%, primarily due to an increase in revenue from Fraud Management solutions, offset by declines in license sales in Collections and Recovery and Customer Management solutions, and volume decline in Marketing solutions.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company’s business-to-business scoring solutions and associated professional services, and the myFICO® business-to-consumer service, were $41.8 million in the third quarter compared to $46.5 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 10%. The B2B decline was due primarily to a true-up recorded in the previous year.
  • Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor® and Xpress Optimization and related products and services, were $16.8 million in the third quarter compared to $17.4 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 3%, primarily due to a decrease in license sales during the quarter.

Bookings

Bookings for the third quarter were $50.0 million compared to $63.5 million in the prior year period. Bookings represent contracts signed in the current reporting period that will generate new future revenue streams. Management regards the volume of bookings achieved, among other factors, as an important indicator of future revenues, but they are not comparable to, nor should they be substituted for, an analysis of the company’s revenues, and they are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties concerning timing and contingencies affecting product delivery and performance.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents, and investments were $274.4 million at June 30, 2011, as compared to $230.3 million at September 30, 2010. Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2010 include $105.0 million of cash provided by operations, $7.9 million from issuances of common stock from share-based payment plans, $53.8 million used for repurchases of common stock, $8.3 million used for purchases of property and equipment, $8.0 million related to repayment on Senior Notes, and $2.4 million of dividends paid.

Outlook

The company reaffirms the previously issued guidance for fiscal 2011, which follows:

    Fiscal 2011 Guidance
Revenue   $620 million - $625 million
GAAP Net Income   $68 million - $72 million
Non-GAAP Net Income, excluding restructuring charges of $8.7 million  

$77 million - $81 million

GAAP Earnings Per Share   $1.71 - $1.81
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, excluding restructuring charges of $0.21  

$1.93 - $2.03

Our guidance figures for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share have been adjusted to exclude the effects of restructuring charges for Fiscal 2011 related to workforce and facility reductions. We believe the presentation of guidance on these non-GAAP figures provides useful information to investors for comparing year-over-year performance and analyzing business trends of our financial condition and results of operations, particularly given that we revised our Fiscal 2011 guidance earlier this year partially as a result of the restructuring charges.
