Fair Isaac Announces First Quarter 2008 Results

Total revenue of $199.4 million; Earnings per share of $0.39

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision technology, today announced the financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2007.

First Quarter Fiscal 2008 Results

The company reported first quarter revenues of $199.4 million in fiscal 2008 versus $208.2 million reported in the prior year period. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 totaled $20.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, versus $31.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, reported in the prior year period.

First Quarter Fiscal 2008 Revenues Highlights

Revenues for first quarter fiscal 2008 across each of the company’s four operating segments were as follows:

Bookings Highlights

The bookings for the first quarter were $102.4 million compared to $72.1 million in the same period last year. The company defines a “new booking” as estimated future contractual revenues, including agreements with perpetual, multi-year and annual terms. Management regards the volume of new bookings achieved as one indicator of future revenues, but they are not comparable to, nor should they be substituted for, an analysis of the company’s revenues.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents, and investments were $238.6 million at December 31, 2007, as compared to $246.8 million at September 30, 2007. Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2007 include cash provided by operations of $48.0 million, borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $20.0 million, and $13.2 million received from the exercise of stock options and stock issued under an employee stock purchase plan. Cash used during the first quarter includes $7.4 million related to purchases of property and equipment and $82.4 million to repurchase common stock.

Acquisition of Dash Optimization Limited

The company also announced today that it has acquired Dash Optimization (“Dash”), the leading software provider of optimization, for $32 million. Dash’s optimization technology complements our vision to “be the leader in decision management” and our mission to “help businesses make smarter decisions.” Dash develops and markets Xpress-MP, the world's leading software product for modeling and optimization. Xpress-MP solves large-scale optimization problems and enables better business decisions and resulting financial benefits.

We intend to integrate this technology into our Decision Middleware™ business offering the market-leading solution in business rule management systems, optimization software components and predictive analytics. Dash is completely focused on optimization and works in close partnership with its customers and OEM partners. Dash has offices in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and Japan with distribution partners in Europe and the Far East.

Outlook

The company expects revenues for second quarter fiscal 2008 to be approximately $205.0 million and earnings per diluted share to be approximately $0.44. The company expects revenues for fiscal 2008 to be approximately $825.0 to $835.0 million and earnings per diluted share to be approximately $1.80 to $1.90.

Company to Host Conference Call

The company will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (4:00 p.m. Central Time/2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) to discuss its first quarter fiscal 2008 results, and outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2008.
