for First Quarter Fiscal 2025
Revenue of $440 million vs. $382 million in prior year
BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 4, 2025--FICO (NYSE:FICO), a global analytics software leader, today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024.
First Quarter Fiscal 2025 GAAP Results
Net income for the quarter totaled $152.5 million, or $6.14 per share, versus $121.1 million, or $4.80 per share, in the prior year period.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $194.0 million versus $122.1 million in the prior year period.
First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $143.8 million versus $121.2 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $5.79 versus $4.81 in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $186.8 million for the current quarter versus $120.8 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.
First Quarter Fiscal 2025 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $440.0 million for the quarter as compared to $382.1 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 15%.
“We had a good start to our fiscal year, with strong top and bottom-line growth,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “We reiterate our fiscal year 2025 guidance, which includes double-digit percentage growth for both revenue and earnings.”
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 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) solutions, were $235.7 million in the first quarter, compared to $192.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 23%. B2B revenue increased 30%, driven largely by higher unit prices and an increase in volume of mortgage originations. B2C revenue increased 3% from the prior year period due to increased revenue from our indirect channel partners.
•Software revenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, were $204.3 million in the first quarter, compared to $189.9 million in the prior year period, an increase of 8%, mainly due to increased recurring revenue and license revenue. Software Annual Recurring Revenue was up 6% year-over-year, consisting of 20% platform ARR growth and 1% growth in non-platform. The Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 105% on December 31, 2024, with platform software at 112% and non-platform software at 100%.
Outlook
We reiterate the following guidance for fiscal 2025:

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.
