Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 GAAP Revenue
The company reported revenues of $691.7 million for the quarter as compared to $498.7 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 39%.
“We continue to deliver strong revenue and earnings growth,” said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. “We are pleased to announce that we are raising our full year guidance.”
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 for the company’s two operating segments were as follows:

B2B revenue increased 72%, primarily attributable to a higher mortgage origination scores unit price and an increase in volume of mortgage originations. B2C revenue increased 5% from the prior year period due mainly to increased revenue from our indirect channel partners.

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, to the extent applicable, such items as 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. 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.
