ITEM 2.05 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES.
On July 10, 2024, Intuit Inc. (the “Company”) announced a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) focused on reallocating resources to the Company’s key growth areas. As part of the Plan, approximately 1,800 employees will exit the Company and the Company will close its Boise and Edmonton sites in service to growing technology teams and capabilities in strategic locations. The Company expects to hire a nearly equivalent number of employees in fiscal 2025 to support the Company’s declared growth areas and expects overall headcount to grow in fiscal 2025 and beyond.
The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $250 million to $260 million in charges in connection with the Plan, primarily in its fourth fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2024. These charges consist of approximately $217 million to $227 million in future cash expenditures related to severance payments and employee benefits and approximately $33 million in non-cash charges for share-based compensation and charges associated with the site closures. The Company expects substantially all of the actions associated with the Plan to be completed by its first fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2024, subject to local law and consultation requirements.
The estimate of the charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Plan.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On July 10, 2024, Sasan Goodarzi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, sent an email to the Company’s employees regarding the Plan. A copy of this email is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.01 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01 and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly stated by specific reference in such filing.
