FICO Announces Earnings of $6.42 per Share for Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025

Revenue of $516 million vs. $454 million in prior year

FICO (NYSE: FICO), a global analytics software leader, today announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 GAAP Results

Net income for the quarter totaled $155.0 million, or $6.42 per share, versus $135.7 million, or $5.44 per share, in the prior year period. Fourth quarter results included a pre-tax charge of $10.9 million for restructuring, or $0.34 per share after tax.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $223.7 million versus $226.5 million in the prior year period.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $187.0 million versus $163.2 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $7.74 versus $6.54 in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $210.8 million for the current quarter versus $219.4 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.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 GAAP Revenue

The company reported revenues of $515.8 million for the quarter as compared to $453.8 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 14%.

“I am very proud of our performance in FY25, another record year for FICO,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “I am also pleased to provide FY26 guidance, which includes even stronger growth than we achieved in FY25.”

Revenues for the fourth 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 $311.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $249.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 25%. B2B revenue increased 29%, primarily attributable to a higher mortgage origination scores unit price. B2C revenue increased 8% from the prior year period due to increased revenue from our myFICO.com business and our indirect channel partners.
  • Software revenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, were flat year over year with $204.2 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $204.6 million in the prior year period. Software Annual Recurring Revenue on September 30, 2025 was up 4% year-over-year, consisting of a 16% increase in platform ARR and a 2% decline in non-platform ARR. The total Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 102% on September 30, 2025, with platform software at 112% and non-platform software at 97%.

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.
