Intuit Exceeds Expectations for Second-Quarter Operating Income and Earnings Per Share

Highlights:

  • Updates guidance:
    • Expects full-year earnings per share growth of 11 to 18 percent
    • Expects full-year operating income growth of 7 to 13 percent
    • Expects full-year revenue growth of 2 to 6 percent
  • Quarterly revenue of $791 million would have grown 2 percent without timing changes

Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU) today announced second quarter GAAP operating income of $110 million, and GAAP diluted earnings per share of 26 cents, well above its expected range. Second-quarter revenue of $791 million, a five percent decrease from the year-ago quarter, reflects timing changes of $58 million of revenue in its tax businesses between the second and third quarters. Without those changes, revenue would have grown two percent.

“Second-quarter operating income and earnings per share significantly exceeded our guidance, and revenue was within our expected range,” said Brad Smith, Intuit’s president and chief executive officer. “We continue to adapt in this strained economy and manage the business by focusing on customer acquisition and investing in innovation. By managing our expenses, we expect to deliver strong earnings growth for the year.

“While our company is not recession-proof, we are resilient. Consumers and small business owners are focused on saving and making money, and that is what our products are designed to deliver. We help them put more money in their pockets, which creates demand for many of our offerings in any environment. That’s why we still expect to deliver positive revenue growth for fiscal year 2009,” Smith said.

Second-Quarter 2009 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of $791 million, down 5 percent from the year-ago quarter. Revenue would have grown 2 percent without shifts of Consumer Tax and Accounting Professionals revenue due to the timing of revenue recognition for services bundled with the offerings.
  • GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) operating income from continuing operations of $110 million, down from $174 million in the year-ago quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share of 26 cents, compared to 34 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Without the change in revenue timing, GAAP operating income from continuing operations would have been approximately $168 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $172 million, down from $225 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of 34 cents compared to 40 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Without the change in revenue timing, non-GAAP operating income would have been approximately $230 million.

Second-Quarter 2009 Business Segment Results

  • Consumer Tax revenue was $187 million, down 25 percent from the year-ago quarter. The decline includes a deferral of $70 million in revenue associated with the bundling of Federal electronic filing with the desktop product. Without that shift, revenue would have grown 4 percent year-over-year.
  • QuickBooks revenue was $164 million, down 2 percent from the year-ago quarter.
  • Payroll and Payments revenue was $158 million, up 14 percent from the year-ago quarter.
  • Accounting Professionals revenue was $133 million, up 14 percent from the year-ago quarter. The increase includes a shift of $12 million from Q3 to Q2 due to changes in the offering.
  • Financial Institutions revenue was $76 million, up 5 percent from the year-ago quarter.
  • Other Businesses revenue was $73 million, down 21 percent from the year-ago quarter.

Third-Quarter 2009 Guidance

Intuit provided guidance for its third quarter of fiscal year 2009, which will end on April 30. Intuit’s expected results for the third quarter are:

  • Revenue of $1.38 billion to $1.46 billion, or growth of 5 percent to 11 percent.
  • GAAP operating income from continuing operations of $723 million to $778 million, or growth of 7 percent to 15 percent. This represents GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.38 to $1.49, or growth of 4 percent to 12 percent.
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $783 million to $838 million, or growth of 8 percent to 15 percent. This represents non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.57 to $1.68, or growth of 13 percent to 21 percent.

Fiscal 2009 Guidance

Intuit also updated its previous guidance for fiscal year 2009. For fiscal 2009, the company now expects:

  • Revenue of $3.13 billion to $3.25 billion, or growth of 2 percent to 6 percent. Prior guidance was for growth of 6 percent to 10 percent.
  • GAAP operating income from continuing operations of $682 million to $735 million, or growth of 5 percent to 13 percent. This represents GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.32 to $1.43, or a decline of 6 percent to growth of 1 percent.
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $917 million to $970 million, or growth of 7 percent to 13 percent. This represents non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.78 to $1.89, or growth of 11 percent to 18 percent.

Intuit also updated previously given fiscal 2009 business segment revenue guidance. The company now expects:

  • Consumer Tax revenue of $1.0 billion to $1.04 billion, or growth of 8 percent to 12 percent over the prior year, unchanged from prior guidance.
  • QuickBooks revenue of $580 million to $620 million, or a decline of 7 percent to flat compared with the prior year. Prior guidance was $650 million to $675 million.
  • Payroll and Payments revenue of $619 million to $642 million, or growth of 10 percent to 14 percent over the prior year, unchanged from prior guidance.
  • Accounting Professionals revenue of $345 million to $358 million, or growth of 5 percent to 9 percent over the prior year, unchanged from prior guidance.
  • Financial Institutions revenue of $313 million to $325 million, or growth of 5 percent to 9 percent over the prior year, unchanged from prior guidance.
  • Other Businesses revenue of $270 million to $290 million, or a decline of 19 percent to 13 percent compared with the prior year. Prior guidance was $320 million to $340 million.

Cautions About Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of Intuit’s future expected financial results; its prospects for the business in fiscal 2009 and beyond; and all of the statements under the headings “Third-Quarter 2009 Guidance” and “Fiscal 2009 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: 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; if economic and market conditions in the U.S. and worldwide continue to decline, our customers may delay or reduce technology purchases which may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition; we may not be able to successfully introduce new products and services to meet our growth and profitability objectives, and current and future products and services may not adequately address customer needs and may not achieve broad market acceptance, which could harm our operating results and financial condition; any failure to maintain reliable and responsive service levels for our offerings could cause us to lose customers and negatively impact our revenues and profitability; any significant product quality problems or delays in our products 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; any failure to properly use and protect personal customer information could harm our revenue, earnings and reputation; our acquisition activities may be disruptive to Intuit and may not result in expected benefits; our use of significant amounts of debt to finance acquisitions or other activities could harm our financial condition and results of operations; 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; predicting tax-related revenues is challenging due to the heavy concentration of activity in a short time period; we have implemented, and are continuing to upgrade, new information systems and any problems with these new systems could interfere with our ability to deliver products and services and gather information to effectively manage our business; 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; 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 2008 and in our other SEC filings. You can locate these reports through our website at http://www.intuit.com/about_intuit/investors. Forward-looking statements are based on information as of February 19, 2009, and we do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statement or other information in these remarks.

[B] In March 2007 we sold certain assets related to our Complete Payroll and Premier Payroll Service businesses to Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) for a price of up to approximately $135 million in cash. The final purchase price was contingent upon the number of customers that transitioned to ADP pursuant to the purchase agreement over a period of approximately one year from the date of sale. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2008 we recorded pre-tax gains of $14.0 million and $38.0 million on our statement of operations for customers who transitioned to ADP during those periods. We received a total price of $93.6 million and recorded a total pre-tax gain of $83.2 million from the inception of this transaction through its completion in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

 

[C] Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2009 was approximately 18%. Excluding net one-time benefits primarily related to an agreement we entered into with a tax authority with respect to tax years ended prior to fiscal 2009, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 36%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction, federal and state research and experimentation credits, and tax exempt interest income. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately 35% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate. State income taxes were offset primarily by the benefit we received from tax exempt interest income, the domestic production activities deduction, and federal and state research and experimentation credits.

 

We recorded a tax benefit of $18.5 million on pre-tax income of $15.0 million for the six months ended January 31, 2009. Excluding net one-time benefits primarily related to an agreement we entered into with a tax authority with respect to tax years ended prior to fiscal 2009 and the reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 36%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction, federal and state research and experimentation credits, and tax exempt interest income. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately 33%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the benefit we received from tax exempt interest income, the domestic production activities deduction, federal and state research and experimentation credits, and a one-time benefit related to executive stock compensation, partially offset by state income taxes.

 

[D] In August 2007 we sold our Intuit Distribution Management Solutions (IDMS) business for approximately $100 million in cash and recorded a net gain on disposal of $27.5 million. IDMS was part of our Other Businesses segment. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” we determined that IDMS became a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. We have therefore segregated the net assets and operating results of IDMS from continuing operations on our balance sheets and in our statements of operations for all periods prior to the sale. Revenue and net loss from IDMS discontinued operations were $1.9 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2008. Because IDMS operating cash flows were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows. We have segregated the cash impact of the gain on disposal of IDMS on our statement of cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2008.

INTUIT INC.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated February 19, 2009 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) and related operating margin as a percentage of revenue, 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 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 assessing the performance of the organization, our operating segments or our senior management. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs, or the other excluded items that may impact their business units’ operating income (loss) and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance. We also exclude these amounts from our budget and planning process. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods. We exclude the following items from our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Share-based compensation expenses. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, which consist of expenses for stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and purchases of common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Segment managers are not held accountable for share-based compensation expenses impacting their business units’ operating income (loss) and, accordingly, we exclude share-based compensation expenses from our measures of segment performance. While share-based compensation is a significant expense affecting our results of operations, management excludes share-based compensation from our budget and planning process. We exclude share-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures for these reasons and the other reasons stated above. We compute weighted average dilutive shares using the method required by SFAS 123(R) for both GAAP and non-GAAP diluted net income per share.
  • Amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges. In accordance with GAAP, amortization of purchased intangible assets in cost of revenue includes amortization of software and other technology assets related to acquisitions. Acquisition-related charges in operating expenses include amortization of other purchased intangible assets such as customer lists, covenants not to compete and trade names. Acquisition activities are managed on a corporate-wide basis and segment managers are not held accountable for the acquisition-related costs impacting their business units’ operating income (loss). We exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance and from our budget and planning process. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures for these reasons, the other reasons stated above and because we believe that excluding these items facilitates comparisons to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.
  • Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and assets. We exclude these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons stated above and because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operating results.
  • Gains and losses on marketable equity securities and other investments. We exclude these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons stated above and because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operating results.
  • Income tax effects of excluded items. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the income tax effects of the adjustments described above that relate to the current period as well as adjustments for similar items that relate to prior periods. We exclude the impact of these tax items for the reasons stated above and because management believes that they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.
  • 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 for the reasons stated above and because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operations.

The following describes each non-GAAP financial measure, the items excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP measure in arriving at each non-GAAP financial measure, and the reasons management uses each measure and excludes the specified amounts in arriving at each non-GAAP financial measure.

(A) Operating income (loss) and related operating margin as a percentage of revenue. We exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges from our GAAP operating income (loss) from continuing operations and related operating margin in arriving at our non-GAAP operating income (loss) and related operating margin primarily because we do not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the organization, our operating segments and senior management or when undertaking our budget and planning process. We believe that the exclusion of these expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates the comparison of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for prior periods. In addition, we exclude amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges from non-GAAP operating income (loss) and operating margin because we believe that excluding these items facilitates comparisons to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.

(B) Net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share (or earnings per share). We exclude share-based compensation expenses, amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition-related charges, net gains on marketable equity securities and other investments, gains and losses on disposals of businesses and assets, certain tax items as described above, and amounts related to discontinued operations from our GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share in arriving at our non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. We exclude all of these items from our non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share primarily because we do not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the organization, our operating segments and senior management or when undertaking our budget and planning process. We believe that the exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates the comparison of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for prior periods.

In addition, we exclude amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges from our non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share because we believe that excluding these items facilitates comparisons to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories. We exclude net gains on marketable equity securities and other investments from our non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the income tax effects of the adjustments described above that relate to the current period as well as adjustments for similar items that relate to prior periods. We exclude the impact of these tax items because management believes that they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations. The effective tax rates used to calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share were as follows: 36% for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008; 36% for the first quarter of fiscal 2009; 34% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009; and 34% for third quarter and full year fiscal 2009 guidance. Finally, we exclude amounts related to discontinued operations from our non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operations.

We refer to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Intuit’s ongoing operations and for planning and forecasting in future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate our internal comparisons to Intuit’s historical operating results. We have historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.

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 marketable equity securities and other investments.
