Intuit Reports Solid 2009 Fiscal Year Results;
Forecasts Strong Earnings Growth for 2010

Highlights:

	•		Fiscal year 2009 non-GAAP operating income grew 9 percent; non-GAAP EPS grew 14 percent
	•		Expects revenue growth of 4 to 8 percent in fiscal 2010
	•		Expects GAAP operating income growth of 15 to 21 percent in fiscal 2010

                MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Aug. 20, 2009 – Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today announced fiscal year 2009 revenue of $3.183 billion, a 4 percent increase from last year. For the fiscal year, GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) operating income grew 5 percent to $682 million, while non-GAAP operating income grew 9 percent to $931 million.

               Intuit also provided full-year guidance for the 2010 fiscal year, projecting GAAP operating income growth of 15 to 21 percent, non-GAAP operating income growth of 6 to 10 percent, GAAP earnings per share growth of 10 to 16 percent and non-GAAP earnings per share growth of 4 to 8 percent.

               “We delivered solid revenue and operating income growth in 2009 by staying focused on helping our customers save and make money in this tough economy, while maintaining our own operating discipline,” said Brad Smith, Intuit’s president and chief executive officer. “Connected services that solve important customer problems, led by our SaaS (Software as a Service) offerings, grew 14 percent this past year. These predictable revenue streams continue to be the fastest-growing portion of our business, and a key element of our future.”

               “As a result, we are entering our new fiscal year with larger customer bases and stronger positions in all of our core businesses. This gives us confidence that we’ll have another good year in fiscal 2010,” Smith said.

Fiscal 2009 Financial Highlights

	•		Revenue of $3.183 billion, up 4 percent from fiscal 2008.
	•		GAAP operating income from continuing operations of $682 million, up 5 percent from fiscal 2008. GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.35, down 4 percent from fiscal 2008. The decrease is driven by a 10-cent per share gain for the sale of certain payroll assets to ADP and an 8-cent per share gain from discontinued operations from the sale of IDMS. Both events were included in fiscal 2008 results and did not recur in fiscal 2009.
	•		Non-GAAP operating income of $931 million, up 9 percent from fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.82, up 14 percent from fiscal 2008.
	•		In fiscal 2009 Intuit had a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 33 percent due to tax benefits from a favorable settlement of prior year issues and retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit. These benefits added 8 cents to the company’s 2009 EPS. Without these benefits non-GAAP EPS would have grown 9 percent, in line with non-GAAP operating income.

Fiscal 2009 Business Segment Results

             Intuit has changed its business reporting structure and segment names to better reflect the relationships between the segments and provide additional insight into business unit performance.

             The Small Business Group now includes three reporting segments: Financial Management Solutions, Employee Management Solutions and Payments Solutions. Financial Management Solutions was formerly known as the QuickBooks segment. Employee Management Solutions and Payments Solutions were formerly combined in the Payroll and Payments segment. The company will provide guidance at the Small Business Group level.

	•		Financial Management Solutions revenue was $579 million, down 2 percent from the prior year.
	•		Employee Management Solutions revenue was $365 million, up 8 percent from the prior year.

	•		Financial Institutions revenue was $311 million, up 4 percent from the prior year.
	•		Other Businesses revenue was $289 million, down 14 percent from the prior year.

Fourth-Quarter 2009 Highlights

	•		Revenue of $476 million, flat from the year-ago quarter.
	•		GAAP operating loss from continuing operations of $116 million, compared to a loss of $94 million in the year-ago quarter. GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.22, compared to a loss of $0.19 in the year ago quarter.
	•		Non-GAAP operating loss of $49 million, compared to a loss of $41 million in the year ago quarter. The non-GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.10, compared to a loss of $0.08 in the year ago quarter.

             Intuit typically posts a seasonal loss in its fourth quarter when there is little revenue from its tax businesses but expenses remain relatively constant. The 2009 GAAP and non-GAAP loss includes a $10 million charge for severance and facilities closures and a $9 million charge related to the July acquisition of PayCycle.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 2010; and all of the statements under the headings “Forward-looking Guidance,” “Fiscal 2010 Business Segment Guidance”, and “First-Quarter Fiscal 2010 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.

See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” immediately following this Table E for information on these measures, the items excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP measures in arriving at non-GAAP financial measures, and the reasons management uses each measure and excludes the specified amounts in arriving at each non-GAAP financial measure.

INTUIT INC.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated August 20, 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), 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 purchased intangible assets
	•		Acquisition-related charges
	•		Charges for historical use of technology licensing rights

We also exclude the following items from non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share:

	•		Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and assets
	•		Gains and losses on marketable equity securities and other investments
	•		Income tax effects of excluded 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 expenses, acquisition-related charges, 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 purchases of common stock under 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 purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges . When we acquire an entity, we are required under GAAP to record the fair values of the intangible assets of the entity and amortize them over their useful lives. Amortization of purchased intangible assets in cost of revenue includes amortization of software and other technology assets of acquired entities. Acquisition-related charges in operating expenses include amortization of other purchased intangible assets such as customer lists, covenants not to compete and trade names.

Charge for historical use of technology licensing rights . We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures the portion of technology licensing fees that relates to historical use of that technology.

Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and assets. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses that we record from time to time when we sell or otherwise dispose of businesses and assets that are not considered discontinued operations under GAAP.

Gains and losses on marketable equity securities and other investments . We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses that we record when we sell or impair marketable equity securities and other investments.

Income tax effects of excluded items . We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures 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. 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 marketable equity securities and other investments.
