Revenue Growth Acceleration
Revenue grew 38.7% YoY to $691.7M in Q2 FY2026, a dramatic acceleration reflecting strong demand for FICO's scoring and software solutions. Cost of revenue grew only 4.1% YoY to $91.2M, indicating significant operating leverage as revenue scales.
Exceptional Operating Leverage
Operating income surged 63.8% YoY to $402.5M, pushing the operating margin to 58.2% from 49.3% a year ago — an improvement of nearly 9 percentage points. This reflects disciplined cost management with SG&A and R&D each growing only ~19.7% against 38.7% revenue growth.
Strong Cash Generation
Fiscal year-to-date operating cash flow reached $397.4M, up 47.8% from $268.9M in the prior-year period, demonstrating the high cash-conversion quality of FICO's business model. Free cash flow remains robust after minimal capital expenditures reflected in investing cash outflows of only $21.1M YTD.
