SAN JOSE, Calif. – April 27, 2017 - FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $25,1 million, or $0,78 per share, versus $23,1 million, or $0,72 per share, reported in the prior year period. The current quarter earnings include a reduction to income tax expense of $3,6 million or $0,11 per share, associated with the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09").

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $66,4 million versus $41,7 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $34 million vs. $35,1 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1,05 vs. $1,09 in the prior year period. Free cash flow for the quarter was $60,5 million vs. $37,6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow for both periods reflects the impact of ASU 2016-09. These Non-GAAP financial measures are described in the financial table captioned "Non-GAAP Results" and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the financial tables at the end of this release.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $228,4 million for the quarter as compared to $206,7 million reported in the prior year period. 

"We had another strong quarter across all lines of our business," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "We are increasingly confident in our ability to drive growth and execute against our strategy."

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 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 $134,3 million in the second quarter, compared with $121,9 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 10 %. This was due to increased license sales in Fraud Management Solutions, increased transactional volumes in Customer Communications Services and Originations Solutions.
• Scores revenues, which include the company’s business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $65,4 million in the second quarter, compared to $61,1 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 7 %. B2B revenue increased 2 % and B2C revenue increased 16 % from the prior year quarter.
• Decision Management Software revenues, which include FICO^® Blaze Advisor^®, FICO^® Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $28,6 million in the second quarter compared to $23,6 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 21 %, due primarily to increased license revenues of Blaze Advisor, and increased services revenues from Decision Optimizer.

Outlook 
The company is updating its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2017 as a result of the impact of ASU 2016-09 on the current quarter to approximately:

Fiscal 2017 guidance has been updated for the impact from ASU 2016-09 recorded in the current quarter. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on October 1, 2016, we no longer record excess tax benefits as an increase to additional paid-in capital, but record such excess tax benefits on a prospective basis as a reduction of income tax expense, which amounted to $3,6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

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