Fair Isaac Guides Lower. A Lot Lower.

Ugh.

Preliminary Second Quarter Fiscal 2007 Results
The company expects to report second quarter revenues in the range of $200 to $202 million in second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus $208.2 million reported in the prior year period. This is lower than the second quarter revenue guidance of $215 million provided by the company last quarter. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 is expected to total in the range of $20 to $22 million, or $0.35 to $0.37 per diluted share, versus $27.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, reported in the prior year period. This is lower than the second quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance of $0.48 provided last quarter.
Revised Third Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2007 Guidance
Total revenues are expected to be $195 to $200 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 with GAAP earnings of approximately $0.33 to $0.38 per share. Full year fiscal 2007 revenue is now expected to be $795 to $805 million with GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.55 to $1.65. The previously announced sale of our mortgage product line accounts for approximately $7 million to $8 million of the reduced revenue guidance. This full year fiscal 2007 guidance is lower than the guidance of $870 million in revenue and GAAP earnings per diluted share of $2.15 provided earlier by the company.

The shares are down over 11% after hours.
