SAN JOSE, CA—January 30, 2013—FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012.

First Quarter Fiscal 2013 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled USD 23,4 million, or USD 0,65 per share, versus USD 30 million, or USD 0,81 per share, reported in the prior year period. The current quarter results include USD 2,2 million, net of tax, or USD 0,06 per share, in restructuring and acquisition related costs.

First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Non-GAAP Results
Beginning in fiscal 2013, the company will report Non-GAAP results for net income, EPS and free cash flow. 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.

• Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was USD 31,8 million vs. USD 34,5 million in the prior year period.
• Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was USD 0,88 vs. USD 0,94 in the prior year period.
• Free cash flow for the quarter was USD 19 million vs. USD 32,7 million in the prior year period.

First Quarter Fiscal 2013 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of USD 190 million for the quarter as compared to USD 170,3 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 12 %.

"We had a strong start to fiscal 2013, with solid Q1 results driven by revenue growth across our entire portfolio," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "The investments we have made during the past nine months, including our acquisitions, are delivering results in line with our plans."

Revenues for the first quarter fiscal 2013 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 USD 124,7 million in the first quarter compared to USD 110,2 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 13 %. This was due primarily to revenue associated with last year’s acquisition of Adeptra, Ltd. and increases in revenue from Customer Management and Marketing Solutions, partially offset by a decrease in Fraud Solutions.
• 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 USD 43,4 million in the first quarter compared to USD 42,5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 2 %.
• Tools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor^®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were USD 21,9 million in the first quarter compared to USD 17,6 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 24 %, primarily due to an increase in Blaze license and professional services partially offset by a decrease in Xpress license sales during the quarter.
