Business Segment Results

Small Business and Self-Employed Group

Small Business and Self-Employed Group revenue grew 20 percent for the quarter and 19 percent for the year. Online Ecosystem revenue grew 18 percent for the quarter and 20 percent for the year.

  • QuickBooks Online accounting revenue grew 17 percent for the quarter and 19 percent for the year. Growth in the quarter was driven by customer growth, higher effective prices, and mix shift.
  • Online services revenue grew 19 percent for the quarter and 21 percent for the year. Growth in the quarter was driven by growth in payments, payroll, capital, and Mailchimp.
  • Total international online revenue grew 11 percent for the quarter and 13 percent for the year on a constant currency basis.

In August 2024, Intuit renamed the Small Business and Self-Employed Group to the Global Business Solutions Group. This new name better aligns with the global reach of the Mailchimp and QuickBooks platform, the company's focus on serving both small and mid-market businesses, and its vision to become the end-to-end platform that customers use to grow and run their business.

Consumer and ProTax Groups

Consumer Group revenue grew 7 percent for the year to $4.4 billion.

  • TurboTax Live revenue grew 17 percent for the year, representing approximately 30 percent of total Consumer Group revenue, and TurboTax Live customers grew 11 percent.
  • TurboTax Online units declined 2 percent and total TurboTax units declined 1 percent for the year, due to share loss with customers who pay nothing or have a lower average revenue per return.

Capital Allocation Summary

The company:

  • Reported a total cash and investments balance of approximately $4.1 billion and total debt of $6.0 billion as of July 31.
  • Repurchased $2.0 billion of stock during fiscal year 2024. The Board approved a new $3.0 billion repurchase authorization, giving the company a total authorization of $4.9 billion to repurchase shares.
  • Received Board approval for a quarterly dividend of $1.04 per share, payable on October 18, 2024. This represents a 16 percent increase versus last year.

Forward-looking Guidance

Intuit announced guidance for the full fiscal year 2025. The company expects:

  • Revenue of $18.160 billion to $18.347 billion, growth of approximately 12 to 13 percent.
  • GAAP operating income of $4.649 billion to $4.724 billion, growth of approximately 28 to 30 percent.
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $7.241 billion to $7.316 billion, growth of approximately 13 to 14 percent.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $12.34 to $12.54, growth of approximately 18 to 20 percent.
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $19.16 to $19.36, growth of approximately 13 to 14 percent.

The company expects the following segment revenue results for fiscal year 2025:

  • Small Business and Self-Employed Group: growth of 16 to 17 percent. This includes online ecosystem revenue growth of approximately 20 percent, and desktop ecosystem revenue growth in the low single digits.
  • Consumer Group: growth of 7 to 8 percent.
  • ProTax Group: growth of 3 to 4 percent.
  • Credit Karma: growth of 5 to 8 percent.

GAAP guidance reflects an expected $24 million restructuring charge related to the reorganization the company announced in July.

Intuit also announced guidance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ends Oct. 31. The company expects:

  • Revenue growth of approximately 5 to 6 percent, including:
    • Small Business and Self-Employed Group revenue growth of 6 to 7 percent. The company expects online ecosystem revenue growth, the company's growth catalyst, to accelerate to approximately 19 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The company expects desktop ecosystem revenue to decline approximately 20 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, but return to growth in the second quarter. The first quarter desktop growth outlook reflects changes the company made to its QuickBooks desktop offerings in early fiscal 2024 to complete the transition to a recurring subscription model, including more frequent product updates. The company expects these changes to lower revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 by approximately $160 million. This includes approximately $50 million that was recognized in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, approximately $60 million recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, and approximately $50 million that the company expects to shift from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 to later quarters in fiscal 2025.
    • Credit Karma revenue to grow in the first quarter.
    • Consumer Group and ProTax revenue to decline in the first quarter, as the company laps the period a year ago that included the extended California tax filing deadline.
  • GAAP earnings per share of $0.61 to $0.66.
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.33 to $2.38.

GAAP guidance reflects an expected $19 million restructuring charge that the company expects to incur in the first quarter related to the reorganization the company announced in July.

We recognized excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $183 million in our provision for income taxes for the twelve months ended July 31, 2024 and $32 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2023.

 

 

 

Our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended July 31, 2024 was approximately 17%. Excluding certain tax benefits primarily related to share-based compensation, our effective tax rate was approximately 24%. This rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible share-based compensation, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the federal research and experimentation credit.

 

 

 

Our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended July 31, 2023 was approximately 20%. Excluding tax benefits related to share-based compensation and a transfer of certain intangible assets during the three months ended July 31, 2023 from our United Kingdom subsidiary to the United States, our effective tax rate was approximately 24%. This rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible share-based compensation, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the federal research and experimentation credit.

 

 

 

In the current global tax policy environment, the U.S. and other domestic and foreign governments continue to consider, and in some cases enact, changes in corporate tax laws. As changes occur, we account for finalized legislation in the period of enactment.

As discussed in “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Income Tax Effects and Adjustments” following Table E, our long-term non-GAAP tax rate eliminates the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items. Income tax adjustments consist primarily of the tax impact of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments and tax benefits related to share-based compensation.

INTUIT INC.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated August 22, 2024 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Table B1, Table B2, 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. Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we exclude from our non-GAAP measures restructuring charges, as described below. There were no restructuring charges in any prior period presented.

We exclude the following items from all of our non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Amortization of acquired technology
  • Amortization of other acquired intangible assets
  • Restructuring charges
  • Share-based compensation expense
  • Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges
  • Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets
  • Professional fees and transaction costs 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 and adjustments
  • Discontinued operations

We believe 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, restructuring, or the other excluded items and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment performance. We believe 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.

Amortization of acquired technology and amortization of other acquired intangible assets. When we acquire a business in a business combination, we are required by GAAP to record the fair values of the intangible assets of the business 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 businesses. Amortization of other acquired intangible assets in operating expenses includes amortization of assets such as customer lists and trade names.

Restructuring charges. This consists of costs incurred as a direct result of discrete strategic restructuring actions, including, but not limited to severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other costs, which are different in terms of size, strategic nature, and frequency than ongoing productivity and business improvements.

Share-based compensation expense. This consists 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.

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.

Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets because they are unrelated to our ongoing business operating results.

Professional fees and transaction costs 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 credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and gains and losses on other investments.

Income tax effects and adjustments. We use a long-term non-GAAP tax rate for evaluating operating results and for planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate excludes the income tax effects of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments described above, and eliminates the effects of non-recurring and period specific items which can vary in size and frequency. Based on our long-term projections, we are using a long-term non-GAAP tax rate of 24% for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for various reasons including significant acquisitions, changes in our geographic earnings mix, or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate. We will evaluate this long-term non-GAAP tax rate on an annual basis and whenever any significant events occur which may materially affect this rate.

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, sales of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments, and disposals of businesses and long-lived assets.
