2026-07-29 16:15 ET - News Release

Revenue of $674 million vs. $536 million in prior year


Company Website: https://fico.com
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- (Business Wire)

FICO (NYSE:FICO), a global analytics software leader, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 GAAP Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $237.2 million, or $10.45 per share, versus $181.8 million, or $7.40 per share, in the prior year period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $380.4 million versus $286.2 million in the prior year period.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $276.6 million versus $210.6 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $12.18 versus $8.57 in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $370.3 million for the current quarter versus $276.2 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 2026 GAAP Revenue

The company reported revenues of $674.2 million for the quarter as compared to $536.4 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 26%.

“We delivered another quarter of strong performance, driven by the successful execution of our strategic priorities,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “We are pleased to announce that we are raising our full year guidance.”

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 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 $458.9 million in the third quarter, compared to $324.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of 41%. B2B revenue increased 49%, primarily attributable to a higher mortgage origination scores unit price. B2C revenue increased 5% from the prior year period, primarily due to increased royalties derived from scores sold indirectly to consumers through credit reporting agencies.
  • Software revenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, were up 2% year-over-year with $215.3 million in the third quarter, compared to $212.1 million in the prior year period. On June 30, 2026, Software Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was up 10% year-over-year, consisting of a 62% increase in platform ARR and a 17% decline in non-platform ARR. The total Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 109% on June 30, 2026, with platform software at 148% and non-platform software at 82%.

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.
