November 7, 2016 4:15 PM

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 GAAP ResultsNet income for the quarter totaled $32.1 million, or $1.00 per share, versus $33.3 million, or $1.03 per share, reported in the prior year period.

The current quarter earnings include a reduction to income tax expense of $3.3 million, or $0.10 per share, associated with one-time foreign tax credits. The prior year quarter earnings included a restructuring charge, net of tax of $11.5 million, or $0.35 per share, primarily related to the write-down of facilities, and a reduction to income tax expense of $5.4 million, or $0.17 per share, associated with the favorable resolution of a tax audit.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $23.6 million versus $46.6 million in the prior year period.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 Non-GAAP ResultsNon-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $41.4 million vs. $50.9 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1.28 vs. $1.57 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $13.6 million vs. $39.2 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.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 GAAP RevenueThe company reported revenues of $235.8 million for the quarter as compared to $232.8 million reported in the prior year period.

"We had a strong finish to our fiscal 2016," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "We drove continued growth in our Scores segment, and are seeing increased demand for our new decision management products."

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 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 $149.0 million in the fourth quarter, flat with the prior year.
  • Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $62.8 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $57.4 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 9%. B2B revenue increased 13% and B2C revenue increased 4% from the prior year quarter.
  • Decision Management Software revenues, which include FICO® Blaze Advisor®, FICO® Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $24.0 million in the fourth quarter compared to $26.1 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 8%, due primarily to decreased upfront license sales of Xpress Optimization.

Outlook The company is providing guidance for fiscal 2017 of approximately:

The company is planning to early-adopt FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09") in the first quarter of its fiscal 2017 (the quarter ending December 31, 2016). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits or deficiencies generated upon the settlement or exercise of stock awards are no longer recognized as additional paid-in capital but are instead recognized as a reduction or increase to income tax expense. ASU 2016-09 is expected to have an impact on the recording of excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, as well as its operating and financing cash flows on its consolidated statements of cash flows. Those possible impacts are not reflected in the fiscal 2017 guidance.

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 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.
