Fair Isaac Announces First Quarter 2009 Results

Earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.25, including net charges related to
previously announced cost reductions of $0.12 per share

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 28, 2009--Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008.

First Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results

The company reported first quarter revenues of $163.5 million in fiscal 2009 versus $190.1 million reported in the prior year period. Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $12.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, versus $20.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, reported in the prior year period. As previously announced, first quarter results included a $5.7 million after-tax restructuring charge for workforce and facility reductions, or $0.12 cents per diluted share.

“Despite the sustained downturn in the global economy and the markets Fair Isaac serves, we remain focused on executing our strategy and maintaining profitability,” stated Mark Greene, Chief Executive Officer. “Fair Isaac has a strong balance sheet and substantial free cash flow, which gives us agility and flexibility in today’s turbulent financial markets. In addition, we benefit from a global customer base and a broad portfolio of industry-leading solutions for risk management that are particularly relevant in this challenging time."

First Quarter Fiscal 2009 Revenue Highlights

Revenues for first quarter fiscal 2009 across each of the company’s four operating segments were as follows:


Bookings Highlights from Continuing Operations

The bookings for the first quarter were $52.5 million compared to $92.7 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 $298.8 million at December 31, 2008, as compared to $271.2 million at September 30, 2008. Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2008 include cash provided by operations of $36.7 million and $3.2 million received from the exercise of stock options and stock issued under an employee stock purchase plan. Cash used during the first quarter includes $5.6 million related to purchases of property and equipment.

Outlook

In light of the continuing uncertainty in the global financial markets and the continued lack of visibility into our clients’ spending intentions, we are not providing guidance at this time.
