BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2025--FICO (NYSE:FICO), a global analytics software leader, today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 GAAP Results

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $286.2 million versus $213.3 million in the prior year period.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $210.6 million versus $156.4 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $8.57 versus $6.25 in the prior year period. Free cash flow was $276.2 million for the current quarter versus $205.7 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 2025 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $536.4 million for the quarter as compared to $447.8 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 20%.
“In our third fiscal quarter, we again delivered strong results with revenue growth of 20%, and even stronger earnings growth,” 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 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 $324.3 million in the third quarter, compared to $241.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 34%. B2B revenue increased 42%, primarily attributable to a higher unit price, an increase in volume of mortgage originations and a multi-year US license renewal on our insurance score product. B2C revenue increased 6% from the prior year period due to increased revenue from our indirect channel partners.
•Software revenues, which include the company’s analytics and digital decisioning technology, were $212.1 million in the third quarter, compared to $206.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 3%, mainly due to increased Software as a Service revenue. Software Annual Recurring Revenue at June 30, 2025 was up 4% year-over-year, consisting of an 18% increase in platform ARR growth and a 2% decline in non-platform ARR. The total Software Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate was 103% on June 30, 2025, with platform software at 115% 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.
