Company Perspective
“We had a strong second quarter and have built solid momentum through the first half of the fiscal year, with revenue growing double-digits, driven by our core businesses. We are on track to deliver the revenue guidance we set for the full year, and we raised our guidance for fiscal 2012 operating income and EPS,” said Brad Smith, Intuit’s president and chief executive officer.
“We are off to a great start in tax. Early indications are positive and we are pleased with how the business is performing so far. Third-party data and our unit sales through Feb. 18 give us confidence that the software category is growing and that we are executing well.
“Longer term, our strategy remains the same, and our opportunity to grow customers and revenue by converting non-consumption across our businesses has never been stronger as customers continue to shift to digital solutions and mobile devices,” Smith said.
Quarterly Business Segment Results and Highlights
Total Small Business Group revenue grew 9 percent, led by strength in Employee Management Solutions and Payment Solutions.
Financial Management Solutions revenue increased 6 percent, driven by QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise combined revenue growth of 31 percent.
Employee Management Solutions revenue was up 9 percent, led by growth in Intuit Online Payroll and Enhanced Payroll subscribers and improved adoption of direct deposit services. Online payroll subscribers grew 22 percent.
Payment Solutions revenue increased 17 percent, with 11 percent growth in merchant customers.
Consumer Tax
Consumer Tax revenue totaled $295 million, up 44 percent. The IRS was unable to accept certain returns until mid-February last season, which contributed to a year-over-year decline in Consumer Tax revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Accounting Professionals
Accounting Professionals segment revenue increased by 8 percent in the second quarter.
Financial Services
Financial Services revenue grew 9 percent, driven by ongoing adoption of online and mobile banking capabilities, with mobile users nearly tripling over the last year to 1.6 million.
Other Businesses
Other Businesses revenue declined 5 percent due to a decrease in Quicken revenue. Intuit’s global business grew revenue 8 percent.
CFO Perspective
“The shift to online offerings is accelerating across the company,” said Neil Williams, chief financial officer. “That shows up in the financial results we released today and demonstrates that our strategy is working. This secular shift to digital solutions is also good news for customer acquisition and continues to enrich our mix, as connected services generate recurring revenue streams and favorable lifetime value economics for Intuit.”
Quarterly Dividend
Intuit paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, or $44 million, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. In February the board of directors approved a new quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid on April 18 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 10.
Share Repurchase Program
Intuit repurchased $331 million of its common stock in the second quarter, bringing repurchases to a total of $586 million for the first half of the fiscal year. At the end of the quarter the company had authorization from its board of directors to use up to an additional $2 billion in cash for stock repurchases through August 2014.
Forward-looking Guidance
Intuit reiterated its fiscal year 2012 guidance for revenue and raised operating income and EPS guidance. For the fiscal year ending July 31, the company now expects:
Revenue of $4.185 billion to $4.285 billion, growth of 9 to 11 percent.
GAAP operating income of $1.19 billion to $1.215 billion, growth of 18 to 21 percent.
Non-GAAP operating income of $1.405 billion to $1.43 billion, growth of 12 to 14 percent.
GAAP diluted EPS of $2.43 to $2.50, growth of 22 to 25 percent.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.90 to $2.97, growth of 16 to 18 percent.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Intuit expects:
Revenue of $1.95 billion to $1.99 billion.
GAAP operating income of $1.095 billion to $1.125 billion.
Non-GAAP operating income of $1.14 billion to $1.17 billion.
GAAP diluted EPS of $2.36 to $2.40.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.47 to $2.51.
Intuit also reiterated the EPS guidance ranges for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 which it provided last quarter. The company expects:

Cautions About Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of Intuit’s future expected financial results; expectations regarding growth from digital services and from current or future products and services; expectations regarding the amount and timing of any future dividends; 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.

[B]
We compute our provision for or benefit from income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income or loss from recurring operations and adding the effects of any discrete income tax items specific to the period. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended January 31, 2012 were approximately 34% and 33% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%. Excluding discrete tax benefits primarily related to the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit, our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 was approximately 36% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%. In December 2010 the federal research and development credit was reinstated through December 31, 2011 retroactive to January 1, 2010. We recorded a discrete tax benefit of approximately $9 million for the retroactive amount related to fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011 during the three months ended January 31, 2011.

INTUIT INC. (INTU)
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The accompanying press release dated February 21, 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 discrete tax items. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures the income tax effects of the items described above. 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.
