Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to report Fair Isaac Corporation's financial results for the recent fiscal quarter and nine-month period, with a specific emphasis on the financial impact of the HNC Software Inc. acquisition.

The detailed financial results, including information on charges from the HNC Software Inc. acquisition and their impact on EPS, are primarily located in the press release dated July 23, 2003, which is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this 8-K filing.

FICO is disclosing these charges because they significantly impact the company's reported financial results and earnings per share. They believe this information helps investors better understand the company's performance and make more informed comparisons over time, even though it might be considered a non-GAAP measure.

A non-GAAP financial measure refers to a measure of financial performance that is not calculated or presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In this case, the specific charges from the HNC acquisition and their direct impact on EPS are likely being presented in a way that supplements, rather than replaces, GAAP reporting, to provide additional clarity to investors.
