Company Perspective
We completed another strong quarter, getting us off to a good start in fiscal 2011. Our
biggest quarters lie ahead of us, said Brad Smith, Intuits president and chief executive officer.
Although the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, were executing well against our
strategy, and thats driving solid financial performance.
We delivered double-digit revenue growth, demonstrating that our strategy is working. Our
Small Business Group continues to show strength across the board. The early feedback on QuickBooks
2011 and QuickBooks Online is very positive and shows the potential of our core products. We are
also seeing more people choosing Intuit Websites solutions, and healthy interest in our newly
available mobile solutions coming to market.
The market is clearly shifting to digital, or connected services. That plays to our
advantage, and will help drive the next phase of our growth. Its especially clear in our tax
business, where recent competitive events demonstrate the power and acceptance of digital services.
Thats our sweet spot. As we look forward to the tax season, we believe were well positioned to
expand the category and continue to grow share, with a strong marketing effort and a product line
that offers customers the easiest-to-use solution at a compelling price.

Total Small Business Group revenue grew 12 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. This

Financial Management Solutions
| Revenue increased 15 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Early product reviews for QuickBooks 2011 have been very strong, with new features and a new subscription product bundle that provides customers with online and mobile access and upgrades as they become available. | ||
| QuickBooks Online subscriptions grew 46 percent year over year, and the active customer base is now roughly 217,000. | ||
| Intuit Websites customer base increased by more than 60 percent year over year. | ||
| Intuit Websites and QuickBooks Online continued bringing new customers into the small business franchise. |
Employee Management Solutions
| Revenue grew 11 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. | ||
| Intuit Online Payroll continued to attract customers by providing a cost-effective solution for small business payroll. |
Payment Solutions
| Revenue grew 7 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by merchant growth of 15 percent. Transaction volume per merchant was down 3 percent. | ||
| Launched in August in a partnership with hardware provider mophie, Intuit GoPayment provides an all-in-one mobile payments solution that allows small businesses to easily swipe and process credit card payments via the Apple iPhone. |
Consumer Tax
| Consumer tax revenue was $29 million, up $7 million from last year. | ||
| While the first quarter is seasonally slow for tax, the organization is preparing for the coming season, enhancing products to build on last years success. TurboTax for 2010 will go on sale in retail stores on Nov. 26. |
Accounting Professionals
| Accounting Professionals segment revenue grew 15 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, in line with expectations. |

Financial Services
| Revenue increased 1 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Internet banking users grew 11 percent, while bill pay users grew 19 percent. Adjusting for the divestiture of Intuits lending business and a nonrecurring revenue item, Financial Services revenue would have grown approximately 6 percent for the quarter. | ||
| Consumer and business offerings, including FinanceWorks, continued to help financial institutions effectively compete and attract new customers. A key driver is a revamped consumer and business home page that brings all the most important functions up front to the user. These new, streamlined experiences will help drive increased usage and adoption and will soon be offered to more financial institutions. |
Other Businesses
| Revenue grew 27 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. | ||
| The Small Business units in Canada and the United Kingdom performed well, driven by strong desktop and subscription sales. Retail and online share in the U.K. has climbed steadily over the last year. | ||
| Quicken desktop started strong with customer-driven product improvements and a revitalized user interface. | ||
| During the first quarter, Intuit Healths patient portal registered its 3 millionth user. The solution has added 1 million new patients since January. |
Share Repurchase Program
Intuit repurchased $330 million of its common stock in the first quarter and has $1.67 billion
remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.
Forward-looking Guidance
For the second-quarter the company expects:
| Revenue of $920 million to $940 million, growth of 10 to 12 percent. | ||
| GAAP operating income of $135 million to $155 million, compared with $139 million in the year-ago quarter. |

| GAAP diluted EPS of $0.24 to $0.28, compared with $0.35 in the year-ago quarter. GAAP diluted EPS for the year-ago quarter included $0.10 for the gain on the sale of the Intuit Real Estate Solutions business. | ||
| Non-GAAP operating income of $190 million to $210 million, compared with $206 million in the year-ago quarter. | ||
| Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.36 to $0.40, compared with $0.38 in the year-ago quarter. |

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures. For a

measure, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, please see

Cautions About Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of Intuits future
expected financial results; its prospects for the business in fiscal 2011; and all of the
statements under the heading Forward-looking Guidance.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important
factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in
the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the following: product
introductions and price competition from our competitors can have unpredictable negative effects on
our revenue, profitability and market position; governmental encroachment in our tax businesses or
other governmental activities or public policy affecting the preparation and filing of tax returns
could negatively affect our operating results and market position; we may not be able to
successfully innovate and introduce new offerings and business models to meet our growth and
profitability objectives, and current and future offerings may not adequately address customer
needs and may not achieve broad market acceptance, which could harm our operating results and
financial condition; business interruption or failure of our information technology and
communication systems may impair the availability of our products and services, which may damage
our reputation and harm our future financial results; as we upgrade and consolidate our customer
facing applications and supporting information technology infrastructure, any problems with these
implementations could interfere with our ability to deliver our offerings; any failure to properly
use and protect personal customer information and data could harm our revenue, earnings and
reputation; if we are unable to develop, manage and maintain critical third party business
relationships, our business may be adversely affected; increased government regulation of our
businesses may harm our operating results; if
Intuit First Quarter 2011 Earnings
Page 7
Page 7
we fail to process transactions effectively or fail to adequately protect against potential
fraudulent activities, our revenue and earnings may be harmed; any significant offering quality
problems or delays in our offerings could harm our revenue, earnings and reputation; our
participation in the Free File Alliance may result in lost revenue opportunities and
cannibalization of our traditional paid franchise; the continuing global economic downturn may
continue to impact consumer and small business spending and financial institutions, which could
negatively affect our revenue and profitability; our revenue and earnings are highly seasonal and
the timing of our revenue between quarters is difficult to predict, which may cause significant
quarterly fluctuations in our financial results; our financial position may not make repurchasing
shares advisable or we may issue additional shares in an acquisition causing our number of
outstanding shares to grow; our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights
may weaken our competitive position and reduce our revenue and earnings; our acquisition and
divestiture activities may disrupt our ongoing business, may involve increased expenses and may
present risks not contemplated at the time of the transactions; our use of significant amounts of
debt to finance acquisitions or other activities could harm our financial condition and results of
operation; and litigation involving intellectual property, antitrust, shareholder and other matters
may increase our costs. More details about these and other risks that may impact our business are
included in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 and in our other SEC filings. You can locate these
reports through our website at http://investors.intuit.com. Forward-looking statements are based
on information as of November 18, 2010, and we do not undertake any duty to update any
forward-looking statement or other information in these materials.

[B] | Our effective tax benefit rate for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was approximately 37%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction. Our effective tax benefit rate for the three months ended October 31, 2009 was approximately 38%. This differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit we received from the domestic production activities deduction and the federal research and experimentation credit. | |
[C] | On January 15, 2010 we sold our Intuit Real Estate Solutions (IRES) business for approximately $128 million in cash and recorded a net gain on disposal of $35 million. IRES was part of our Other Businesses segment. We determined that IRES became a discontinued operation in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. We have therefore segregated the operating results of IRES from continuing operations in our statements of operations for all periods prior to the sale. Revenue from IRES was $19 million for the three months ended October 31, 2009. Because IRES operating cash flows were not material for any period presented, we have not segregated them from continuing operations on our statements of cash flows. |

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The accompanying press release dated November 18, 2010 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Table
B 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.
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 | ||
| Charges for historical use of technology licensing rights | ||
| 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 marketable equity securities and other investments | ||
| Income tax effects of excluded items and discrete tax items | ||
| Discontinued operations |
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding Intuits 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, or
the other excluded items and, accordingly, we exclude these amounts from our measures of segment
performance. We believe that 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 purchases of common stock under 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 an entity, 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.
Charges for historical use of technology licensing rights. We exclude from our non-GAAP
financial measures the portion of technology licensing fees that relates to historical use of
that technology.
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 marketable equity securities and other investments. We exclude from our
non-GAAP financial measures gains and losses that we record when we sell or impair marketable
equity securities and other investments.
Income tax effects of excluded items and discrete tax items. We exclude from our non-GAAP
financial measures the income tax effects of the items described above. In addition, the effects
of one-time income tax adjustments recorded in a specific quarter for GAAP purposes are reflected
on a forecasted basis in our non-GAAP financial measures. This is consistent with how we plan,
forecast and evaluate our operating results.
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, and sales of marketable equity
securities and other investments.
