First Quarter Fiscal 2009 Revenue Highlights

Revenues for first quarter fiscal 2009 across each of the company's four operating segments were as follows:

• Strategy Machine Solutions revenues were $87.6 million in the first quarter compared to $97.4 million in the prior year quarter, or a decrease of 10%, primarily due a decline associated with fraud, marketing solutions and collections and recovery, partially offset by an increase in revenues derived from consumer products.
  
• Scoring Solutions revenues were $34.1 million in the first quarter compared to $42.7 million in the prior year quarter, or a decrease of 20%, primarily due to a decrease in revenues derived from our credit bureau risk scores.
  
• Professional Services revenues were $27.8 million in the first quarter compared to $36.0 million in the prior year quarter, or a decrease of 23%, primarily due to a decline associated with customized analytic implementation services, collections and recovery services and customer management services partially offset by an increase in revenues derived from tools services.
  
• Analytic Software Tools revenues increased to $14.0 million in the first quarter compared to $13.9 million in the prior year quarter, essentially flat with the prior year period.

Bookings Highlights from Continuing Operations

The bookings for the first quarter were $52.5 million compared to $92.7 million in the same period last year. The company defines a "new booking" as estimated future contractual revenues, including agreements with perpetual, multi-year and annual terms. Management regards the volume of new bookings achieved as one indicator of future revenues, but they are not comparable to, nor should they be substituted for, an analysis of the company's revenues.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents, and investments were $298.8 million at December 31, 2008, as compared to $271.2 million at September 30, 2008. Significant changes in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2008 include cash provided by operations of $36.7 million and $3.2 million received from the exercise of stock options and stock issued under an employee stock purchase plan. Cash used during the first quarter includes $5.6 million related to purchases of property and equipment.

Outlook

In light of the continuing uncertainty in the global financial markets and the continued lack of visibility into our clients' spending intentions, we are not providing guidance at this time.
