Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 across each of the company's three operating segments were as follows:

        were $141.5 million in the third quarter, compared to $165.6 million in
        the prior year period, a decrease of 15%, due primarily to decreased
        license sales in our Falcon Fraud product.
    --  Scores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B)
        scoring solutions and associated professional services, and
        business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $131.6 million in the third
        quarter, compared to $115.1 million in the prior year period, an

    --  Decision Management Software revenues, which include Blaze Advisor(®),

        professional services, were $40.7 million in the third quarter, compared
        to $33.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 22%, due
        primarily to SaaS subscription revenues.

                            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 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 and dividends paid.  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.
