            FAIR ISAAC REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2003 RESULTS

               60% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth with HNC Revenues

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- November 3, 2003 -- Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the
leader in customer analytics and decision technology, today announced financial
results for the fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year ended September 30,
2003.

The company achieved fourth quarter revenues of $161.0 million in fiscal 2003
versus $129.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues
for fiscal 2003 totaled $629.3 million as compared to revenues of $392.4 million
in fiscal 2002. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 totaled $31.7
million, or $0.64 per share on 52.4 million diluted shares outstanding(1),
compared with a net loss of $(24.2) million, or $(0.55) per share on 43.7
million diluted shares outstanding reported in the same quarter last year. Net
income for fiscal 2003 totaled $107.2 million, or $2.12 per share on 50.6
million diluted shares outstanding(1), compared with $17.9 million, or $0.48 per
share on 37.6 million diluted shares outstanding reported in fiscal 2002.

Results for fiscal 2003 include $2.5 million in merger-related charges,
resulting from the HNC Software acquisition, which resulted in a negative
three-cent(2) impact to diluted earnings per share during this period.

"We are very pleased with our revenue and income growth for this fiscal year,"
said Tom Grudnowski, President and CEO of Fair Isaac. "We continue to believe
that Enterprise Decision Management is a growing dimension of customers'
technology spending and our portfolio of products and services is well
positioned to address their needs."

The company will host a conference call today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 5:00
p.m. Eastern Time to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal 2003 results and
provide guidance for fiscal 2004. The call can be accessed live on the Investor

1     The computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended
      September 30, 2003 includes 2.7 million shares of common stock issuable
      upon conversion of our convertible subordinated notes, along with a
      corresponding adjustment to net income to add back related interest
      expense, net of tax, of approximately $1.6 million. The computation of
      diluted earnings per share for the year ended September 30, 2003 excludes
      these shares, as they were antidilutive during this period.

2     Calculated as $2.5 million in merger-related charges less $0.9 million
      income tax benefit (by application of the company's 37.75 percent
      effective tax rate for the fiscal year), or $1.6 million, divided by 50.6
      million diluted shares outstanding for the fiscal year.
