BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $128.8 million, or $5.08 per share, versus $93.5 million, or $3.61 per share, in the prior year period. The current quarter earnings include a noncash reduction to income tax expense of $9.5 million, or $0.37 per share, associated with the valuation of our research and development tax credits.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $122.6 million versus $117.1 million in the prior year period.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $143.4 million versus $115.7 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $5.66 versus $4.47 in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $121.8 million for the current quarter versus $115.2 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.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $398.7 million for the quarter as compared to $349.0 million reported in the prior year period.
“We delivered another excellent quarter, with record-setting results throughout the business,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “We posted solid growth in our Scores segment, and again delivered strong ARR growth in Software.”
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 for the company’s two operating segments were as follows:
- Scores revenues, which include the company’s business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions, and business-to-consumer (B2C) scoring solutions, were $201.8 million in the third quarter, compared to $179.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 13%. B2B revenue increased 24%, driven largely by unit price increases partially offset by declines in mortgage originations volumes. B2C revenue decreased 11% from the prior year period due to lower volumes at myFICO.com.
- Software revenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, as well as associated professional services, were $196.9 million in the third quarter, compared to $169.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 16%, due to increased recurring and point-in-time revenues, partially offset by decreases in services revenue. Software Annual Recurring Revenue was up 20% year-over-year, consisting of 53% platform ARR growth and 11% non-platform growth. Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 117% in the third quarter, with platform software at 142% and non-platform software at 109%.

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, to the extent applicable, such items as the impact of amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and acquisition-related, excess tax benefit, and adjustment to tax valuation allowance items. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures. 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.

Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures. 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.
