CEO Perspective

“Fiscal 2013 has been a year of exciting wins, as well as some challenges. We posted strong growth in Small Business, but fell short of our expectations in Consumer Tax. We’ve seized the opportunity to capture lessons learned, make the necessary adjustments, and position the company for a stronger future as we look ahead,” said Brad Smith, Intuit’s president and chief executive officer.

“In anticipation of the next chapter of growth, we updated our connected services strategy and reorganized our business units and functional groups. These organizational changes have transformed Intuit from a portfolio of businesses into an ecosystem of small businesses, consumers, and accountants, who build durable competitive advantage by working together.

“Looking to fiscal year 2014, our momentum is rising with a robust global strategy, new product launches, and one of the most exciting marketing campaigns we have ever launched in our small business segment. In tax, our teams are thinking big and looking for ways to redefine the franchise. We are excited about our potential as we go after a global opportunity to transform the financial lives of small businesses and consumers, and the trusted accountants who serve them,” Smith said.

Business Segment Results and Highlights

Total Small Business Group revenue grew 13 percent for the quarter and 16 percent for the year, including Demandforce. Connected services offerings continued to attract online small business customers.

  • Financial Management Solutions revenue increased 18 percent for the quarter and 20 percent for the year. Adjusted for the May 2012 acquisition of Demandforce, FMS revenue increased 13 percent for the quarter and 10 percent for the year.
  • Employee Management Solutions revenue grew 12 percent for the quarter and 12 percent for the year, driven by 18 percent growth in Online Payroll subscribers for the year.
  • Payment Solutions revenue grew 7 percent for the quarter and 14 percent for the year, driven by fee structure changes and higher total card transaction volume. Worldwide merchant customers grew 13 percent for the year.

Consumer Tax

  • Consumer Tax grew 4 percent for the year, driven by 4 percent growth in paid federal units.

Accounting Professionals

  • Accounting Professionals revenue grew 6 percent for the year due to customer growth, price increases and higher QuickBooks Premier Accountant Edition revenue.

Other Businesses

  • Other Businesses revenue was up 8 percent for the quarter and 6 percent for the year. Global growth was led by Small Business revenue, which grew double digits. Overall revenue grew 10 percent excluding currency impacts.

Quarterly Dividend

Intuit paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.17 per share, totaling $203 million during fiscal 2013. In August, Intuit’s board of directors approved a new quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share, an increase of 12 percent, payable on Oct. 18 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on Oct. 10.

Stock Repurchase Program

Intuit repurchased $292 million of its common stock in fiscal 2013. At the end of fiscal 2013 the current authorization had $1.4 billion remaining for stock repurchases through August 2014. Intuit’s Board approved an additional $2 billion authorization in August.

CFO Perspective

We continue to return cash to shareholders through share repurchases and cash dividends. We intend to use the existing cash and proceeds of the IFS transaction to accelerate the repurchase of shares,” said Neil Williams, Intuit’s chief financial officer.

“For fiscal 2014, we’re increasing our quarterly dividend by 12 percent. These actions demonstrate our disciplined approach to capital allocation as we continue to invest for growth as well as return cash to shareholders.”

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 Intuit’s global strategy, product launches and marketing campaigns and their impacts on Intuit’s business; expectations regarding the amount and timing of any future dividends and share repurchases; Intuit’s prospects for the business in fiscal 2014; 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 2012 and in our other SEC filings.

We compute our annual provision for income taxes by applying the annual effective tax rate to income from recurring operations and adding the effects of any discrete income tax items specific to the period. Our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended July 31, 2013 was approximately 32%. Excluding a discrete tax benefit related to the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and experimentation credit, our effective tax rate for that period was approximately 33% and did not differ significantly from the statutory rate of 35%. Our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended July 31, 2012 was approximately 33% and did not differ significantly from the statutory rate of 35%.

 

[C]

Intuit Financial Services.  On July 1, 2013 we signed a definitive agreement to sell our Intuit Financial Services business and on August 1, 2013 we completed the sale for approximately $1.025 billion in cash. The IFS business comprised substantially all of our former Financial Services reporting segment. We classified our IFS business as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and have therefore segregated its operating results and net assets from continuing operations in our statements of operations and on our balance sheets for all periods presented. Revenue for IFS was approximately $325 million for fiscal 2013 and approximately $326 million for fiscal 2012. Net assets held for sale at July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 consisted primarily of goodwill. Because operating cash flows from the IFS business were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows.

 

Intuit Health.  In July 2013 management having the authority to do so formally approved a plan to sell our Intuit Health business and on August 19, 2013 we completed the sale for cash consideration that was not significant. Intuit Health was part of our Other Businesses reporting segment. We classified our Intuit Health business as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and have segregated its operating results in our statements of operations for all periods presented. Revenue for Intuit Health was approximately $16 million for fiscal 2013 and approximately $18 million for fiscal 2012. Net assets held for sale at July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 consisted primarily of operating assets and liabilities that were not material, so we have not segregated them on our balance sheets. Because operating cash flows from the Intuit Health business were also not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows.

 

Intuit Websites.  In July 2012 management having the authority to do so formally approved a plan to sell our Intuit Websites business and on September 17, 2012 we completed the sale for approximately $60 million in cash. The Intuit Websites business was a component of our Financial Management Solutions reporting segment. We recorded a gain on disposal of approximately $32 million, net of income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. We classified our Intuit Websites business as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and have segregated its operating results in our statements of operations for all periods presented. Revenue from Intuit Websites was approximately $19 million for fiscal 2013 and approximately $76 million for fiscal 2012. Net assets held for sale at July 31, 2012 consisted primarily of operating assets and liabilities that were not material, so we have not segregated them on our balance sheets. Because operating cash flows from the Intuit Websites business were also not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows.

INTUIT INC.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated August 20, 2013 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 related 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.
