July 29, 2015 4:06 PM

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 GAAP ResultsNet income for the quarter totaled $19.9 million, or $0.62 per share, versus $20.5 million, or $0.58 per share, reported in the prior year period. The results include restructuring and acquisition-related expenses of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per share.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Non-GAAP ResultsNon-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $32.3 million vs. $29.2 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.00 vs. $0.83 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $34.5 million vs. $25.3 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.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 GAAP Revenue The company reported revenues of $209.4 million for the quarter as compared to $197.6 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 6%.

"We drove significant growth in our Scores and Tools segments," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "Our Scores segment is performing particularly well in both B2B and B2C, as we continue to expand our valuable FICO Score asset."

Revenues for the third 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 $127.1 million in the third quarter compared to $129.9 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 2%. This was due to decreased revenues in our Marketing Solutions and Fraud Solutions, partially offset by revenues from the TONBELLER acquisition.
  • 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 $55.8 million in the third quarter, up 23% from the prior year quarter. The B2B revenue increased 5% compared to the prior year, while the B2C revenue increased 73% from the prior year quarter.
  • Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $26.5 million in the third quarter compared to $22.4 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 18%, due primarily to increased license revenue of Blaze Advisor.

Outlook The company is reiterating its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2015, which is as follows:

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.
