Factors to Note

FICO’s software segment has been benefiting from strong software and exceptional platform numbers in the quarter under review.

Fair Isaac’s strong pipeline of opportunities in the ACV bookings business, as customers look to FICO to deliver strategic mission-critical decisions, is likely to have favored the software business of the company in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, rising supply chain constraints due to geopolitical tensions and higher inflationary costs are likely to have negatively impacted its overall performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

Further, weakness in the myFICO business is expected to have acted as a headwind for the company in the fiscal second quarter.
