Company Perspective
“Small business and consumer tax delivered 11 percent revenue growth year to date - a solid performance overall,” said Brad Smith, Intuit's president and chief executive officer.
“In tax, we continue to be at the center of the shift to digital tax preparation. The digital category grew 5 percent this year, significantly faster than any other method, but slower than we had planned. With the tax season over, we'll assess our main growth drivers and apply that knowledge as we look toward next tax season.
“Our largest business, the small business group, delivered strong revenue growth in the quarter. Connected services and mobile offerings continue to gain momentum as more small businesses turn to the cloud.
“Long-term, as consumers and small businesses continue to adopt technology, our opportunity to innovate and convert non-consumption remains strong and I remain confident in our strategy and opportunities for growth,” Smith said.
Quarterly Business Segment Results and Highlights
Total Small Business Group revenue grew 11 percent, led by strength in Employee Management Solutions and Payment Solutions.
• | Financial Management Solutions revenue increased 8 percent. QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise reported a combined revenue growth of 29 percent year to date. |

Page 3
• | Employee Management Solutions revenue was up 12 percent, led by growth in Intuit Online Payroll and Enhanced Payroll subscribers and improved adoption of direct deposit services. Online payroll subscribers grew 19 percent. |
• | Payment Solutions revenue increased 14 percent, driven by fee structure changes and double-digit growth in total card transaction volume. Intuit's GoPayment mobile solution fueled merchant customer growth of 13 percent. |
Consumer Tax
• | Consumer Tax revenue was up 3 percent for the third fiscal quarter and 11 percent for the fiscal year to date. The IRS was unable to accept certain tax returns until mid-February last season, which contributed to a challenging year-over-year comparison for the third fiscal quarter this year. |
Accounting Professionals
• | Accounting Professionals segment revenue increased 5 percent in the third quarter. |
Financial Services
• | Financial Services revenue grew 2 percent, or 7 percent when adjusted for the sale of the corporate banking business during the third quarter. Financial Services revenue growth continues to be driven by rapid adoption of online and mobile banking capabilities. |
Other Businesses
• | Other Businesses revenue was up 6 percent due to growth in global small business revenue. |
CFO Perspective
“We took several steps to evolve our portfolio in the third quarter, which included several transactions in line with our broader financial principles,” said Neil Williams, Intuit's chief financial officer. “Our pending purchase of Demandforce and the acquisition of AisleBuyer will strengthen our small business segment. We also took steps to address nonstrategic assets with the sale of our corporate banking business to Bottomline Technologies. This transaction will help the Financial Services team focus on innovating for consumers and small businesses.”

dividends or share repurchases; the impact of acquisitions and divestitures on its business; its prospects for the business in fiscal 2012; and all of the statements under the heading “Forward-Looking Guidance.”
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the following: inherent difficulty in predicting consumer behavior; difficulties in receiving, processing, or filing customer tax submissions; consumers may not respond as we expected to our advertising and promotional activities; product introductions and price competition from our competitors can have unpredictable negative effects on our revenue, profitability and market position; governmental encroachment in our tax businesses or other governmental activities or public policy affecting the preparation and filing of tax returns could negatively affect our operating results and market position; we may not be able to successfully innovate and introduce new offerings and business models to meet our growth and profitability objectives, and current and future offerings may not adequately address customer needs and may not achieve broad market acceptance, which could harm our operating results and financial condition; business interruption or failure of our information technology and communication systems may impair the availability of our products and services, which may damage our reputation and harm our future financial results; as we upgrade and consolidate our customer facing applications and supporting information technology infrastructure, any problems with these implementations could interfere with our ability to deliver our offerings; any failure to properly use and protect personal customer information and data could harm our revenue, earnings and reputation; if we are unable to develop, manage and maintain critical third party business relationships, our business may be adversely affected; increased government regulation of our businesses may harm our operating results; if we fail to process transactions effectively or fail to adequately protect against potential fraudulent activities, our revenue and earnings may be harmed; any significant offering quality problems or delays in our offerings could harm our revenue, earnings and reputation; our participation in the Free File Alliance may result in lost revenue opportunities and cannibalization of our traditional paid franchise; the continuing global economic downturn may continue to impact consumer and small business spending, financial institutions and tax filings, which could negatively affect our revenue and profitability; year-over-year changes in the total number of tax filings that are submitted to government agencies due to economic conditions or otherwise may result in lost revenue opportunities; our revenue and earnings are highly seasonal and the timing of our revenue between quarters is difficult to predict, which may cause significant quarterly fluctuations in our financial results; our financial position may not make repurchasing shares advisable or we may issue additional shares in an acquisition causing our number of outstanding shares to grow; our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights may weaken our competitive position and reduce our revenue and earnings; our acquisition and divestiture activities may disrupt our ongoing business, may involve increased expenses and may present risks not contemplated at the time of the transactions; our use of significant amounts of debt to finance acquisitions or other activities could harm our financial condition and results of operation; and litigation involving intellectual property, antitrust, shareholder and other matters may increase our costs. More details about these and other risks that may impact our business are included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2011 and in our other SEC filings.

INTUIT INC.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The accompanying press release dated May 17, 2012 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Table B and Table E reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures in that press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.
We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.
We exclude the following items from all of our non-GAAP financial measures:
• | Share-based compensation expense |
• | Amortization of acquired technology |
• | Amortization of other acquired intangible assets |
• | Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges |
• | Professional fees for business combinations |
We also exclude the following items from non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share:
• | Gains and losses on debt securities and other investments |
• | Income tax effects of excluded items and discrete tax items |
• | Discontinued operations |
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Intuit’s operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization, our individual operating segments or our senior management. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expense, amortization, or the other excluded items and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods.
The following are descriptions of the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures.
Share-based compensation expenses. These consist of non-cash expenses for stock options, restricted stock units and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. When considering the impact of equity awards, we place greater emphasis on overall shareholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with those awards.
Amortization of acquired technology and amortization of other acquired intangible assets. When we acquire an entity, we are required by GAAP to record the fair values of the intangible assets of the entity and amortize them over their useful lives. Amortization of acquired technology in cost of revenue includes amortization of software and other technology assets of acquired entities. Amortization of other acquired intangible assets in operating expenses includes amortization of assets such as customer lists, covenants not to compete and trade names.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures non-cash charges to adjust the carrying values of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets to their estimated fair values.
Professional fees for business combinations. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures the professional fees we incur to complete business combinations. These include investment banking, legal and accounting fees.
Gains and losses on debt securities and other investments. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses that we record when we sell or impair available-for-sale debt securities and other investments.
Income tax effects of excluded items and certain discrete tax items. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures the income tax effects of the items described above, as well as income tax effects related to business combinations. In addition, the effects of one-time income tax adjustments recorded in a specific quarter for GAAP purposes are reflected on a forecasted basis in our non-GAAP financial measures. This is consistent with how we plan, forecast and evaluate our operating results.
Operating results and gains and losses on the sale of discontinued operations. From time to time, we sell or otherwise dispose of selected operations as we adjust our portfolio of businesses to meet our strategic goals. In accordance with GAAP, we segregate the operating results of discontinued operations as well as gains and losses on the sale of these discontinued operations from continuing operations on our GAAP statements of operations but continue to include them in GAAP net income or loss and net income or loss per share. We exclude these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures.
The reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in Table E include all information reasonably available to Intuit at the date of this press release. These tables include adjustments that we can reasonably predict. Events that could cause the reconciliation to change include acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, goodwill and other asset impairments, and sales of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments.
