MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2020, which ended July 31.

"We had an outstanding tax season, growing the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) category overall as well as our share of total returns, while posting the strongest customer growth in four years. TurboTax Live had another great season, as we made significant progress in our effort to transform the assisted category."

Small Business and Self-Employed Group Revenue	16%	15%
Small Business and Self-Employed Group Revenue (Excluding PPP Revenue)	13%	14%

For the fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year:
- Grew QuickBooks Online accounting revenue 34 percent for the quarter and 38 percent for the year. Growth was driven primarily by customer growth, higher effective prices and, to a lesser extent, mix shift.
- Increased online services revenue 21 percent for the quarter and 21 percent for the year. Growth was driven by QuickBooks Online payments, QuickBooks Capital, QuickBooks Online payroll and TSheets. Excluding nonrecurring PPP revenue, growth was 12 percent for the quarter and 19 percent for the year.
QuickBooks Capital has funded $683 million in cumulative loans (excluding PPP loans) since launch. At the end of the fourth quarter, the net loans receivable balance for non-PPP loans was $40 million.
As of July 31, 2020, Intuit and its bank partners helped make available just over $1.2 billion of approved small business loans to customers from the PPP through QuickBooks Capital. This resulted in approximately $30 million in non-recurring revenue in the fourth quarter, with roughly $16 million included in online services revenue and $14 million included in desktop services revenue. At the end of the fourth quarter the company held $98 million net loans receivable for PPP which we intend to sell.

Capital Allocation Summary

Had a total cash and investments balance of approximately $7.1 billion as of July 31. This includes proceeds from $2 billion senior notes issued on June 29 at a blended coupon rate of 1.15%. Intuit repaid the outstanding balance of its $1 billion revolving credit facility on August 10.
Repurchased $318 million of stock during fiscal year 2020, with $2.4 billion remaining on the company's authorization.
Received Board approval for a quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share, payable October 19, 2020. This represents a 11 percent increase versus last year.

[B]

We recognized excess tax benefits on share-based compensation of $90 million in our provision for income taxes for the twelve months ended July 31, 2020 and $120 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2019.

Our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended July 31, 2020 was approximately 17%. Excluding tax benefits related to share-based compensation, our effective tax rate was 21% and did not differ significantly from the federal statutory rate.

Our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended July 31, 2019 was approximately 17%. Excluding tax benefits related to share-based compensation, our effective tax rate was 24%. This 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.

[A]

As discussed in “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Income Tax Effects and Adjustments” following Table D, 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 the excess tax benefits on share-based compensation.

See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” immediately following Table D 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.

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
Gains and losses on disposals of businesses and long-lived assets
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 and equity securities and other investments
Income tax effects and adjustments
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. 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.

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 a business in a business combination, 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.

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 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 and equity 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 and equity securities and 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 current long-term projections, we are using a long-term non-GAAP tax rate of 23% for fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020. This long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate. We 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.
