FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTUITS SECOND-QUARTER 2004 REVENUE GROWS 14 PERCENT

Raises Pro Forma EPS Guidance for FY 04

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. Feb. 18, 2004 Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal 2004, which ended Jan. 31, 2004.

Intuit delivered good results for the second quarter, said Steve Bennett, Intuits president and chief executive officer. Five of our six business segments delivered within or above their revenue guidance for the quarter and were on track to meet Intuits growth targets for the year.

Second-Quarter 2004 Highlights

			Revenue of $636.3 million increased 14 percent from the year-ago quarter.

			Intuit had pro forma net income of $155.7 million, up 21 percent from $128.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Pro forma diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.77 increased 26 percent from $0.61 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

			Intuit had GAAP net income (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) of $149.1 million, up 16 percent from $128.4 million in the year-ago quarter. This represents GAAP EPS of $0.73 per diluted share, up 22 percent from $0.60 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

Second-Quarter Business Segment Revenue Growth

			TurboTax revenue of $130.0 million was up 36 percent from second-quarter 2003. Intuit reaffirmed guidance for annual TurboTax revenue growth of 10 percent to 20 percent in fiscal 2004.

			Revenue from Intuits Professional Accounting Solutions (PAS) segment increased 4 percent over the year-ago quarter to $156.8 million. Intuit reaffirmed guidance for annual PAS revenue growth of 7 percent to 12 percent.

			QuickBooks revenue grew 8 percent year-over-year to $101.3 million, below expectations. This was due to a larger-than-expected drop in lower-priced QuickBooks Basic and Pro units that was not offset by upgrades to higher-priced, higher-end offerings. Intuit is lowering its targets for fiscal 2004 QuickBooks revenue growth to 0 percent to 10 percent.

			Intuits Small Business Products and Services revenue increased 20 percent over the year-ago quarter to $145.3 million. This segment includes Intuits payroll businesses as well as other non-accounting products and services. Intuit reaffirmed guidance for annual Small Business Products and Services revenue growth of 15 percent to 25 percent in fiscal 2004.

			Intuits Vertical Business Management Solutions segment had organic year-over-year revenue growth of 9 percent to $26.1 million. Verticals have had 22 percent revenue growth fiscal year to date. Intuit reaffirmed guidance for annual Verticals revenue growth of 15 percent to 25 percent in fiscal 2004.

			Revenue from Other Businesses, which includes Quicken and Canada, was $76.8 million, up 4 percent from the year-ago quarter. Intuit is raising its fiscal 2004 revenue growth guidance for Other Businesses to 5 percent to 15 percent.

Forward-Looking Guidance for Third-Quarter 2004

Intuit provided its guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, which will end April 30, 2004. Although financial analysts have developed their own estimates for Intuits third-quarter performance, Intuit had not previously issued guidance for the quarter. Third-quarter 2004 guidance is:

			Revenue of $685 million to $725 million, or year-over-year growth of 8 percent to 14 percent.

			Pro forma operating income of $335 million to $355 million, or year-over-year growth of 4 percent to 11 percent, and GAAP operating income of $325 million to $345 million.

			Pro forma diluted earnings per share of $1.12 to $1.16, or year-over-year growth of 7 percent to 10 percent, and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.09 to $1.13.

FY 04 Revenue Guidance Reaffirmed; FY 04 Pro Forma EPS Guidance Raised

Intuit reaffirmed the revenue and pro forma operating income guidance for fiscal 2004 (which ends July 31, 2004) that it provided in May 2003:

			Revenue of $1.85 billion to $1.95 billion, or year-over-year growth of approximately 12 percent to 18 percent.

			Pro forma operating income of $480 million to $510 million, or growth of approximately 20 percent to 28 percent over fiscal 2003. On a GAAP basis, operating income is expected to be $443 million to $473 million, or growth of approximately 29 percent to 38 percent over fiscal 2003.

Intuit has raised its pro forma EPS guidance for fiscal 2004 by three cents per share:

New guidance is for pro forma diluted earnings per share of $1.60 to $1.70, or growth of approximately 15 percent to 22 percent over fiscal 2003. On a GAAP basis, diluted EPS is expected to be $1.48 to $1.58, down approximately 3 percent to 9 percent from fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2003 GAAP diluted EPS included net income and gains from discontinued operations of nearly $80 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, which is not anticipated to recur in fiscal 2004.

About pro forma, or non-GAAP, financial measures

Intuit computes its pro forma, or non-GAAP, financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. Pro forma operating income excludes acquisition-related charges, such as amortization of intangibles and impairment charges, as well as amortization of purchased software and charges for purchased research and development. Pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share exclude discontinued operations, gains and losses on marketable securities and other investments, as well as the tax effects of these transactions. These pro forma financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and likely are different from non-GAAP or pro forma financial measures used by other companies. The accompanying tables and fact sheet have more details on Intuits historical performance and financial projections, the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to Intuits pro forma financial measures, and the reconciliation of pro forma financial measures to GAAP.

Cautions About Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of our expected financial results. Statements about Intuits guidance, statements including words such as expect, anticipate or believe, and statements in the future tense, are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from our expressed expectations. Some of the important factors that could cause our results to differ include the following:

			We face intense competitive pressures in all of our businesses, which can have unpredictable negative effects on our revenue, profitability and market position.

			Expanding our product and service offerings creates risk due to the increasing complexity and decreasing predictability of our revenue streams.

			We are continuing to implement new information systems to enable us to execute on our growth strategy, and problems with the design or implementation of these new systems could interfere with our business and operations.

			Integrating acquired businesses presents several challenges and we may not fully realize the intended benefits of our acquisitions if we do not successfully integrate them with our operations.

			Given the nature of the products and services that we offer, our revenue and earnings are highly seasonal and this can cause significant quarterly fluctuations in our financial results.

			We may not be able to generate substantial and sustained revenue growth from new products and services in our QuickBooks, Small Business Products and Services and Vertical Business Management solutions segments.

			If we fail to maintain reliable and responsive service levels for our tax offerings, we could lose revenue and customers.

More details about these and other risks are included in our Forms 10-Q, 2003 Form 10-K, and other SEC filings and at http://www.intuit.com/about_intuit/investors. We do not undertake any duty to update the information in this press release except as otherwise required by law.

The pro forma, or non-GAAP, financial measures above should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These pro forma financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and likely are different from pro forma financial measures used by other companies. Intuits management believes that these pro forma financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Intuits core operating results because they exclude amounts that are not necessarily related to Intuits core operating results. Intuits management refers to these pro forma financial measures in assessing the performance of Intuits ongoing operations and for planning and forecasting in future periods. These pro forma financial measures also facilitate managements internal comparisons to Intuits historical operating results. In addition, Intuit has historically reported similar pro forma financial measures and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. Intuit computes pro forma financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. See Tables B1 and B2 for reconciliations of these pro forma financial measures to GAAP.

Notes to Tables A1, B1 and B2:

[A]		Tables B1 and B2 reconcile the differences between the pro forma or non-GAAP financial measures, which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and the GAAP condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2003 and 2004. Pro forma operating income (loss) excludes certain cost and expense line items that are in the GAAP statement of operations. For example, for the line item acquisition-related charges, the number in the GAAP column is subtracted out of the pro forma column in calculating pro forma operating income or loss. Eliminating cost or expense items improves pro forma results compared to GAAP results. Pro forma net income (loss) starts with pro forma operating income or loss and then excludes certain non-operating gains and losses that are in the GAAP statement of operations. For example, for the line item gains on marketable securities and other investments, net the number in the GAAP column is taken out of the pro forma column in calculating pro forma net income or loss. Eliminating loss line items improves pro forma results compared to GAAP results. Eliminating gain line items decreases pro forma results compared to GAAP results.

[B]		We amortize the value of software and other technology assets that we receive in connection with certain acquisitions over their estimated useful lives.

[C]		In connection with certain acquisitions we determine the value of in-process projects under development for which technological feasibility has not been established. The value of each project is recorded as a charge for purchased research and development at the time of the acquisition. In the six months ended January 31, 2003, we recorded charges for purchased research and development totaling $8.9 million, primarily in connection with our acquisition of Blue Ocean Software, Inc. (now Intuit Information Technology Solutions).

[D]		Acquisition-related charges include amortization of purchased intangible assets and deferred compensation related to acquisitions as well as impairment charges. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2003, amortization of purchased intangible assets and deferred compensation was $9.2 million and $18.6 million and there were no impairment charges. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2004, amortization of purchased intangible assets and deferred compensation was $6.8 million and $12.8 million and there were no impairment charges.

[E]		Our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2003 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the net effect of the benefit received from tax exempt interest income and various tax credits offset by state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2003 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the net effect of the benefit received from tax exempt interest income and various tax credits offset by state taxes and acquisition-related charges recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended January 31, 2004 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the net effect of the benefit received from tax-exempt interest income and various tax credits offset by state taxes.

[F]		On July 31, 2002, we sold our Quicken Loans mortgage business to Rock Acquisition Corporation and accounted for the sale as discontinued operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we sold our residual minority equity interest in Rock and recorded a gain of $5.6 million.

[G]		On February 7, 2003, we sold our wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, Intuit KK, and accounted for the sale as discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have segregated the operating results of Intuit KK from continuing operations on our statement of operations for all periods prior to the sale. Revenue for Intuit KK for the three and six months ended January 31, 2003 was $16.2 million and $26.6 million. Net income before income taxes for Intuit KK for the three and six months ended January 31, 2003 was $5.3 million and $5.6 million.
