Intuit Reports Strong Tax Season Led by 7 Percent Increase in TurboTax Online Units
Company Updates Consumer Group Revenue Guidance
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - April 25, 2019 - Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today released the second and final update for its fiscal year 2019 consumer tax offerings. Season-to-date through April 20, total TurboTax Online units increased 7 percent and overall TurboTax units increased 5 percent versus the comparable prior-year period.
“We had a great season. As the category leader, we grew the category, grew our share and are proud of the experiences we delivered for our customers,” said Greg Johnson, executive vice president and general manager of Intuit’s TurboTax business.
“We delivered our best free offering yet and made significant progress in our effort to transform the assisted category. We’ve generated strong momentum heading into next year,” said Johnson.
“We improved the experience for customers with simple returns by providing year-over-year data transfer for no charge and extending state filings for free the entire season,” said Michelle Clatterbuck, Intuit’s chief financial officer. “We now expect full-year fiscal 2019 Consumer Group revenue growth of approximately 10 percent, at the high end of our previous guidance range of 9 to 10 percent. We look forward to sharing our full company fiscal third quarter results when we report earnings in May.”
